The musical accomplishments of the

ago the couple came to Miami.
The spectre of poverty which had
haunted them since the collapse in
Russia of the nobility logged them
Yesterday morning Friday)-my
wife told me the time had come to
die-that she could not work or fight
any longer, and that we must die to-

Il do not know how to express It
in English but my wife and | believe
in reincarnation of souls and because
we loved each other had lived to-

Several times she had told OF

role of SILENCE" on Broadway, H. b.
Warner returns to the screen in the

Metropolitan picture which will be
shown at the Opera House today.
The scenes are laid in the west
during early railroad construction
days when train wrecking and loot
ing were common. Whispering
Smith" put stop to this plundering
and how he does 1t, makes highly
thrilling story. Other players in the

son Mcdowell and Robert Edeson.

J. w. Richards, Of St.
Joseph, Announces
for Co. Treasurer

1t is seldom that a man who has
once held a public office has fore
bearance in the matter of asking
the public to return him to that Of
flee, but j. w. Richards, of ST. Jo-
seph, a candidate in the Democratic
primary for the nomination for the
treasurership Of Navajo county,
seems to hold that distinction. Mr.
Richards has held the office twice
before, each time for two terms,
but at the expiration of his second
term in both instances he withdrew
from the next race, giving voters
chance to experiment with new men
in the office.
In making his announcement this
week Mr.. Richards has the backing
of many voters of Navajo county,
who feel that his experience as
county treasurer makes him a valu-
able candidate From 1904 to 1908
Mr. Richards held the same office,
and again from 1914 to 1918, and
the wide spacing of his intervals as
an office holder indicate that his
good work was appreciated and not
forgotten.
Mr.. Richards is man with
family, and has for fifty years
been resident of Navajo county
engaging in the sheep and cattle
business when not in office.

WHY'S Overland In
New Sales Record;
Production at Peak

simultaneously with the an
nOuncement Of the new Overland
Whippet, the European type light
car which was shown to better than
100000 people in the first three
weeks it was on display by WHY'S
Overland dealers, comes word from
the factory that the production de-
partment is working on the largest
schedule in the history of the or
ganizatiOn.
Retail sales of the Whippet have
exceeded all expectations and at
the present time are reported to be
running at rate approximately
double that of the production sched-
ule.
The Overland Six showed a IS
percent increase over June of last
year with the July figures promis-
ing to exceed this large percentage
when compared with sales for the
same month last year.
In the Willys-Knight line, the
sales gain is better than 40 per-
cent over last year with production
schedules on the model Seventy
reaching new records while the
production of the Great Six is far
ahead of last years figures.
During 1925, WilIys-OverIand de-
livered 221,000 cars to owners thru
out the country. Production at the
present time indicates that the close
of this year will show large in
crease over last year.
The reception of the Whippet
alone has reached such a volume
that this one model, if production
can be brought to meet demand,
will bring about sales figures ex-
ceeding anything ever before at
tanned in the Overland line
With the Whippet, the WHY'S
Overland line now covers every
price and size class in the motor
car industry The entire line pre-
sents unusual features of modern
engineering and is said at present
to be the only complete line to in
corporate the advances made in
European engineering in combina-
ton with the latest advances made
in motor car construction in this
country.
Manager w. w. Franklin of the
local Willys-Overland company I'M
loaded a carload of Whippets yes

Winslow for this new motor sensa-
tion.

DR.. Byron Cummings
To Study Old Mesa
Ruins at Kayenta

FLAGSTAFF - DR.. Byron Cum
mings, of the University of Arizona
and director of the state museum,
left Tuesday morning for Kayenta,
175 miles northeast of Flagstaff,
the most distant point from a rail
road where mail is delivered in the
United States, to complete work
started there years ago on old Mesa
Pueblo ruins.
Work on ancient round house
ruins, so-called by DR.. Cummings
because of the shape, about eight
miles east Of Kayenta will keep the
archaeologist there throughout the
month Of August. These old ruins,
DR.. Cummings said, appear to be a
connecting link between early cave
people and the prehistoric pueblo
dwellers. They ante-date the ruins
recently found and now being re-
constructed by DR.. Walter J.
Fewkes of the Smithsonian Institu-
tion, six miles east of Flagstaff.
DR.. Cummings believed that the
region where the ancient pueblos
were discovered near Kayenta is
the original home of the Hopi peo-
pie and that the theory that abort
gines from this section migrated
from Asiatic countries is without
foundation.
Before coming to Flagstaff, DR..
Cummings visited the Grand Can
yon, where he discovered several
ancient ruins on Coconino plateau
and further west along the south
rim of the canyon which he hopes
, to investigate in the fall. He is at
present engaged in making an
archaeological map of Arizona.
