ing access to it. Yet every day, to
their complete mystification, a detail
ed account of the proceedings was
printed in Associated Press newspap-
ers. A member Of the Noble Guard
was an A. p. man! He did not snug
gle the news out easily, however, for
homing pigeon which he had taken
in with him, ostensibly as pet but
really to transmit the news to the "A.
p. office, was ordered shot by sus-
picious Cardinal Rampolla. Laundry
lists sent out with the soiled laundry
of cardinal, and doctors prescrip-
ton written in code language sup
piled the details of the news, where
the pigeon had failed.
If you have ever done anything to
get yourself into an important news
story or have made name for your
self in the country, the files of the
Associated Press tell all about it. Ev-
cry important news story that has
ever been published, biography of
everybody who is anybody" all over
the world, reposes there, and A. p.
staff men can have their hands on it
in an instant if occasion demands.
What is more, the biography of every
important man over so is III the hands
of every A. p. newspaper for publi-
cation in case of his death. They are
in the hands of the Bisbee Daily Re-
view and of hundreds of other A. p.
papers throughout America.
"What kinds of news are people
most interested in 2" Kent Cooper was
asked. First, he asserted they are
interested in themselves. A person
who has been to a function will al
WAYS look at the list Of quests to
see if his name is among them.
Second, people are interested in the
people they know and the things they
have seen. The average reader is
more interested in the sale Of his
neighbor's house than in a famine IN
China in which thousands perish. He
can sympathize more with one man,
Flovd Collins, entombed in a Ken
lucky cave, than with all the inhab-
itants of a South Sea island who are
DESTROYED in a hurricane, because he
has been in caves and eerle deserted
places, but has never been IN a South
Sea hurricane.
Third, he is interested in combat OF
contest. Competition is one of the
major urges of life, and whether it
take the form of prize fight, a
struggle for business or political
prestige, or a mans struggle against
great obstacles, it grips the interest
and imagination of every one. That
is the secret of the popularity OF the
sporting page.
Fourth, the reader is interested in
money, and this point scarcely needs
elucidation.

WALDHAUS HAS QUALITIES
FOR A GOOD SUPERVISOR

Joe Waldhaus' announcement last
week of candidacy in the republican
primaries for supervisor district No.
p, just missed by a few hours being
a big surprise to himself. A lot of
run and he finally said, "All right,
why not ?'-and the next thing he
know he was a candidate.
This is the first time he has ever
tried for an office with pay attached.
He was elected in May by big vote
as member of city council, which was
his first try for any sort of public
office. The vote he received in the
May city election is an index to the
way he stands in the respect and es-
TEEN of his fellow townspeople.
Joe hasn't thought out any plat
form. "Just a comm0n-sense, busi-
ness administration" he says. He
doesn't need the job for the money
there is in it. He has built up
thriving business of his own. The
way he did it, through fair dealing,
honesty and good horse sense, is rec
ommendation enough that he is quail
fled to do his full share to give the
county a business administration. He
came here from Ohio in 1909, II years
ago, working in various capacities un-
til 10 years ago, when he launched
out in the garage business. And in
that he has steadily forged ahead,
making his business better every year,
even during the reconstruction period
following the war when many others
in the same line were forced out. He
succeeded by contracting only such
debts as he could pay, and all the
time keeping his credit good not only
with those from whom he bought, but
with those to whom he sold either
services or cars. Both his word and
his work always have been good.
That he has faith in Flagstaff and
Coconino county is. evidenced in the
fine new garage building that he is
putting up and which is practically
completed.

TEN YEAR OLD BOY
RESCUES LITTLE TOT
FROM WATERY GRAVE

An outstanding act Of bravery, es-
pecially for lad of his age, was per-
formed last Monday evening at Clear
Creek when little ten-year-old Cecil
Haynes, son of Motorcycle cop George
Haynes, rescued Roy Sutherland,
seven-year-old son of Mrs. Elsie Suth-
erland, who became distressed in deep
water.
The younger boy, unable to swim
very well, became frightened and had
disappeared below the surface of the
water twice when the Haynes boy,
hearing his cries for help, rushed to
his rescue and brought the little fel-
low safely to shore.
This was not accomplished, how
ever, without some difficulty, as the
Sutherland boy had inhaled a quanti-
ty OF water and was fighting hard
when young Haynes reached him and
started toward shore. Winslow Mail.

New England Will

At the time of the total eclipse in
January, 1925, 1t was announced that

Today, however, DR.. Benjamin

Plunge Trolley
Car Into River
CHINOOK, LEADER
WINNING DOG TEAM
SAVES LIFE OF SON

Poland Spring, Me-, Jan. 17-(AP)
"A story of how Chinook, veteran
leader of Arthur T. Walden's famous
dog team, saved the life of his son
and team-mate, Koltag, came to
light here today. The story, as
learned from Walden by newspaper
men, put new angle on the New
England Sled Derby in which Chi
nook led his team to an unofficial
worlds record Of four hours, one
minute and So seconds for 40 miles Of
racing here Friday and Saturday.
Friday night Walden was awak-
ened by Chinook. who is allowed to
sleep in his room. The dog refused
to lie down and finally swept off his
masters bedclothes With giant fore
paw. Divining that something was
wrong, Walden dressed and followed
Chinook to the dog stables, where he
found Koltag slowly strangling on his
lead chain.
The dog had climbed to a bale of
hay and had fallen off, tangling his
chain about a post in such a way
that his struggles drew the chain
tighter about his neck. How Chinook
knew he was in trouble, Walden was
unable to explain unless one of Kol-
tags team mates started to howl and
Chinook heard the call.
Koltag will replace Chinook as lead
dog in the international races at
Quebec this winter. He is almost an
exact duplicate of his giant father
and on his fathers side is a great
grandson of Polaris. who helped drag
Peary's sled to the North Pole.

The compromise reached on the
bill involved further reductions in

President Coolidge was in the

clear to the party leaders that no
engagements could be made with the
Chief Executive on Sunday. The
President spent quiet day, not
