CAMP FIRE TO GIVE
FANTASY NEXT FRIDAY

Flagstaff people in general would
be surprised to know how much
energy and happiness are being gen
Grated in their midst at the regular
meetings of over $50 Camp Fire girls
and their guardians. That this IS
constructive and carries out the ma
tional watchword, Wo-he-la, symbol
izing ork-health-love, is not realized
particularly, except by those in close
touch with this successful organlza-
ton.
Under the direction Of Mrs. Grady
Gammage, president, and Mrs. I. p.
Pollock, president, the movement
has grown prodigiously. Mrs. Lorna
Jessup of the board OF sponsors and
Miss Lora Maxwell are actively en-
gagged in training the girls, chosen
1rom all groups, for model cere-
monial in costume as demonstr2
tion of their activities to ne shown .
week from tonight in conjunction with
a program at the 0rpheum.
The feature for the evening will be
that whimsical fantasy, "A Kiss for
Cinderella" by Sir James Barrie.
There will also be shown a special
reel from official Camp Fire head
quarters showing activities through
out the organization.
The purpose Of this evenings enter
tainment is two-fold; to place before
home people an idea Of the charm
and interesting atmosphere Of this
growing girls institution and to raise
funds toward the establishment of q
permanent summer camp.

QUICK RESULTS FROM
His SUN WANT ADV.

Dr.. Charlie Ploussard says The
Sun is the best advertising medium he
ever saw. Doe brought want adv
to The Sun last Thursday night after
his medicine case was stolen from his
car. Just as the type on the adv. was
set and before we had chance to
print it, the case was recovered. And
SO was d Star coupe If we had had
time to get the adv. printed, without
doubt Doc would have recovered three
or four medicine cases and 9 Packard
sedan. Doc says ne deeply regrets
tlle precipitancy of the officers and
wonders if he hasn't Q good case for
damages.
The man who stole the car in Sac
ranlento and drove it here and stole
the medicine kit was named Harry
Baker He said he was from Los An

Deputy Sheriff Art Vandevier

Judge J. z. Jones in superior court

LITTLE SOULS THAT
PASSED I'M THE NIGHT
!. !. !. !. :, :. !. !. :. :, !. !. !. I. !.

The following lines were written by
Mrs. Hattie Greene Lockett of Phoe-
nix and Flagstaff IN sympathy with
Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson Warnock OF
this city over the death last week of
their eldest little daughter, Jane.
At about the same time that little
Jane died, her fathers brother, James
Wanock Of Phoenix, and his wife,
formerly Miss Virginia Lockett, and a
daughter of the author of the poem,
were blessed with the birth Of son.
Dear Mr.. and Mrs. Warnock:
Like ships that pass in the night
And in passing greet each other
Somewhere last night, on Times high
sea,
'Twixt earth's grey shore and that
other,
Two little souls on that misty tide
Passed, in the silence 'tWixt darkness
and dawn
And in passing knew each other.
One sailing out,-one sailing in
On the selfsame night, of the self
same kin
All, who may tell Of that greeting,
There on that strange chance meet
ing!
Did a fair little girl with golden hair
And eyes Of Heavens own blue
Say-"I know where you're going and
how you'll be loved,
For | have been there tool"
Did dear little boy in that misty
light
Earthward bound and very new
Say, I'm glad / didn't miss seeing
you, dear,
And ] wish you were staying, too"
All, deep in the puzzle of Life and
Death
Only God holds the Key, my dears;
There are smiles Of JOY on our lips
today,
But our eyes are filled with tears.
Smiles aad love for the baby boy
Who came to our home today;
Tears and love fer the baby girl
Who will live in our hearts away.
With sincere love and sympathy,

COCONINO BUFFALO HERD
WILL BECOME PROPERTY
STATE A. SKEELS SAYS

Arizona soon will own the only wild
herd Of buffalo in existence as the re-
suit OF the action Of the Coconino
county board of supervisors in ar
ranging for the purchase of the herd
Of House Rock valley, north Of the
Grand Canyon.
Alfred Skeels, chairman of the
board, recently told of the negotia-
tions between the board and 'EUncle
Jimmy Owens, owner Of the herd,
which ranges the territory between
the Kaibab forest and the Colorado
| river in the Arizona strip
The supervisors feared that the
herd might be sold and killed off, ("
| explained Mr.. Skeels, "and it is our
wish that this herd, roaming wild in
this most beautiful country, shall be
preserved as a possession Of the state
as one OF the attractions to tourists
who shall swarm into Arizona as soon
as the Lees Ferry bridge is built"
An offer Of $4,000 for the entire
herd has been made "Uncle Jimmy
BY the Ccconino county board and, it
| is believed, the price viii be accepted.
Papers are being drawn up and will
be presented next week to Mr. Owens
for his signature.
Public subscriptions will buy the
buffalo here, Mr.. Skeels says Coco
nino county sportsnen already have
pledged large share Of the total
amount while game protective organi-
Zations throughout Arizona have vol
| unteered to raise sums in their COM
munities to apply to the purchase Of
the herd.
q do not expect we shall have any
| trouble at all in collecting the mopey,
said Mr. Skeels. "The American Bison
society, hearing Of our plan, has vol
unteered to raise the money through
out The country and has offered a do
nation Of 500. But we want the herd
to be bought by Arizona people and
We shall turn over the herd to the
state"
The few residents Of Arizona who
have made the trip from the Kaibab
forest to Lees ferry probably have not
seen the herd very closely. The herd
is wild and is increasing. The range
is ideal for buffalo and they need no
care. Some Of the old buffalo are
immense, perfect examples of the
huge buffalo that formerly roamed
the plains in great numbers
The herd has been in the Kaibab
fer 70 years Much Of the increase
has been sold or killed for hides and
heads. Two years ago several Of
the young buffalo were purchased by
Grand Canyon Cattle company and
taken to Mexico with their cattle.
Motion picture companies have sought
to purchase the herd TO use it in pic
lures showing the killing of buffalo.
But the old hunter refused to sell them
for slaughter.
Edmund Seymore, president Of the
American Bison society, hearing Of
the plan of Coconino county, wrote to
Chairman Skeels as follows:
"The time is coming when millions
of people will visit the Grand Can
yon. Il is probably the greatest as
set the state has to produce income.
The broadmmded spirit in which your
board is going about the acquisition Of
the herd is worthy of a great deal OF
praise"
Other large buffalo herds are to be
found in Canada, Wyoming, Texas and
other points III the west but all other
herds, according to Mr. Skeels are
not wild" in the sense Of maintain
ing themselves without care whatso-
ever or in roaming unrestricted in q
range

RESERVE OFFICERS ASK
MORE RESPECT FOR FLAG

The regular monthly meeting of Co
conino county chapter, Arizona de-
partment Reserve Officers associa-
tion Of the United States was held on
Monday evening in the office of the
Flagstaff Electric Light company.
The Coconino Sun was unanimously
adopted as the official paper Of the
chapter
It was resolved by the chapter that
the attention of the Boy Scouts should
be called to the apparent neglect of
respect shown some Of the flags
flown III Flagstaff, as instanced by
leaving them up after sun down and
in some cases all night Their atten-
ton also will be called to the. absence
of flag on the pole on Railroad
avenue.
Capt. Jesse B. Wright, Engr- Res,
was endorsed as county chairman of
the drive for c. M f. C. applicants.
This chapter heartily endorses the
c.. NJ. I. c. movement and will ask
the endorsement of all associations in
Flagstaff as well as that Of all bust
ness houses.
The chapter will attempt to secure
q unit of the Junior r. o. I. G. tor
the high schools Of Flagstaff and Will
liams. 1t would be glad to have the
opinion of the citizens Of this county
on this matter
Lieut. Frank Conrard of the local
howitzcr company and G. G. Wittorf
of the u. S. forest service were visi-
tors
The next regular meeting of the
chapter will be Wednesday evening,
April IA in the office of the Flagstaff
Electric Light company.

DID YOU GET YOUR
AUTOMOBILE LICENSE?

While officials in some other Ali-
zona counties complain that registra-
tion Of automobiles is too slow, the
owners neglecting to come to scratch,
Assessor Billy Reeson Of this county
is making no such complaint. Tues
day morning 1875 owners of this coun-
ty had taken out 1926 Iicenses-which
was 261 more than at this time last
year.
The total number Of licenses issued
in 1926 was 2064 So, evidently sew
eral hundred owners are overdue at
the assessors office, unless, as prob
ably is the case in some instances,
their cars are in winter storage and
have not been used so far this year.

GO TO CHURCH SUNDAY
If NOT NEXT SUNDAY,
THEN SOME SUNDAY

DO you happen 10 be among the few
moItals who are ever looking for
something new to learn?
Are YOU one Of the limited number
who are big enough and wise enough
to realize his own imperfections
Have you mounted sufficiently high
on the ladder Of intelligence to crave
the privilege of ascending to even
greater heights?
Then go to church Sunday.
You may be the bTainy man or
woman in the assemblage. You will
not even be the only one VINO is con-
scienti0usly endeav0Ting to stimulate
the body, the mind and the soul.
Preachers are not always the
Wisest in the community, but mostly
they search for their store of Enowl
edge, the great book, the fount Of all
wisdom.
In any event, there are always
few even IN the smallest congrega-
tions whose lives, to know is an in
spiration. They viii go to church
Sunday, if not providentially hindered.
They will be glad to meet you there.
VIII you disappoint them?
It is said, Every normal brain
ladiates knowledge of some kind or
other" The wise teacher, the preach
er, and all christian workers are all
busy gathering special information
for Sunday.
There is much yet in this world for
us ali to learn, and still more Of the
greater and larger life TO come.
Go to church SUNDAY where it is
all free for the accepting.
You viii be in good compang, and
among good friends
The hand of welcome beckons, and
the door stands aiar with no sentry
to bar your entrance.

SENATE JUSTIFIED IN CRITICISM

The censorlous attitude adopted by certain senators in connection with the "scmi-ofIiclal" interview of Ambassador Houghton Is entire ly justified, Here was an envoy who reported Europe was preparing to recast the League Of Nations into balance of power grouping, broadcasting views that could be varlously interpreted. but most likely regarded as being the view of the administration and having possible bearing upon our atti- tudc toward the World Court and the Geneva disarmament confer ence.
 The other assumption, that tho President had sanctioned the pub lIcatlon Of the Honghton views and that they represented the views of the administration, naturally aroused the Senate to a hectic dis cusson.
 At no other time was the stage set more carefully to insure wide dissemination of these remarks. The correspondents were called to the state department and given the statements in big hot gobs for pub lie consumption. Some experienced correspondents have frankly given 1t as their opinion that the entire preceding was one designed to lead American public opinion away from the World Court and the League of Nations arms conference, so that the administration could originate its own arms conference call before the November elections and thus gain all honor and glory therefor - also some good will votes for Republican candidates. Or maybe, these correspondents hinted, the weaning process was for the purpose of nullifying the attacks by Borah, ct al, against certain hard-pressed G. o. P. sena- tors trying for renomination in the primaries.
 Not being gifted with a sixth or seventh sense, we do not know whether these assumptions are jus tifled, but we are certain that care ful scrutiny by the Senate will bring out hidden facts, clear the atmosphere and be q general pub lie benefit.
 And there can scarcely be dis agreement over the contention that such grave matters should not be made the football of admins tration politics. Political considera- tions can ruin more good inten- tions, and in less time, than any other menace to the public veal.
 It may be true that conditions in Europe may be far from ideal, even in the League, but the Ameri- can government should attempt to help and build up, not tear down.
