Nosey Neighbors One
of Life's Real PeeUes

There are two kinds of neighbors,
good ones and nosey ones. The nosey
ones almost invariably mean well.
They function as they do because they
were born with mania for attend
ing to other peoples affairs.
One of these will knock at your door
in the early morning and say, 1--WE
have a man moving our lawn and /
noticed yours needs it and thought
maybe you'd like to hire him while
he's here"
Another will hear the crash of glass
when you drop a pitcher and appear
breathless at the door to ask what has
happened. Another will come because
she smells something burning; an
other to tell you your gardener is
loafng or your right rear tire is fat
Winding other peoples affairs af-
fords their chief joy In life; and the
more they NEEDLE the more virtuous
and useful they feel.
There was time when distance and
the difficulty of communication limited
the number Of meddlers who could tor
ment any given neighborhood. The
pests bothered only those within ear
shot or walking distance.
But the things we call modern Inn
provements" made all Of America one
neighborhood, and now the nosey folk
are In their glory. The field OF their
activities is unlimited.
In a metropolis, where nearly all
are strangers, there are few neigh
bors and fewer meddlers. But the
metropolitans do not escape. Their
activities are watched by nosey folk
who live hundreds of miles away, and
these stand ready to offer advice and
censure when the occasion offers.
1t is generally believed that the
number Of meddlers has increased,
but the belief has little foundation in
fact. The apparent increase Is due
to the fact that those who once were
content to torment the people next
door have discovered means of tor
menting people far away.
It is sad state of affairs, but little
can be done about it until some
prophet comes along to teach the con-
science ridden that each has a divine
call to attend to his own business

Hard spring wheat, although intro
duced into the northern Great Plains
OF this country and Canada about the
middle of the last century, did not be-
come firmly established rs profta-
Bile crop until after 1870, coincident
with the introduction OF the purifier
and roller mill. There are two chief
varieties, Fife and Bluestem. Tbs
Fife was the first to be established. It
is little more hardy than the Blue
stem and has slightly harder kernel
The kernel is particularly distinguish
cd by its greater breadth in proper
tion to length and by it's very broad
groove. The Fife has white bare chat
and the Bluestem white velvet char.
Both varieties have red kernels and
no boards.

Sheep Raisers Ask
Extension In Notes

PRESCOTT - Petitions seeking
an extension of time on and alter
ations of the notes due the Pres
colt State bank and the Commercial
Trust and Savings Bank, both de-
funct, from the Aubrey Land and
Livestock company, were filed in
the superior court this week by
Homer r. Wood. ex-officio receiver
for the two closed institutions.
The company, which is owned by
A. A. "Tony" Johns and j. A. Tren-
berth, is indebted to the two banks
as a company and by the indivi-
dual owners for approximately
$275,000, secured by stock of the
company.
The extension and suggested al
teration of the terms of the mort
cages held by the bank would tend
to increase the value of the notes,
the petitions set forth, and would
make it possible for the company
to include other assets which would
more definitely insure the ultimate
payment Of the entire indebtedness.

Joe Fischer OF
Winslow Out For
County Treasures

For the first time since the pri-
mary campaign opened, Winslow
has candidate in the field for
the office of County Treasurer, Joe
Fischer, of the Santa Fe offices,
having announced his candidacy
for that office this week. Mr.. Fis-
cher's reasons for seeking the Of
flee are that this part of the coun-
ty needs representation in the
court house, and particularly in the
treasurer's department. Both ELS
worth and Richards, the other can
didates for the office, are from the
other end of the county.
Fischer brings a good record to
his campaign, and this, with his
ten years residence in Winslow
should help him to gain the office
he seeks. He has spent seven years
in the accounting department OF
the Santa Fe, holding the position
of assistant division accountant
and this experience amply qualities
him for the treasurer's office.
Enlisting as a private when the
United States entered the World
War, Mr.. Fischer left Winslow
with the first volunteers, and at
the end of the war he was honor
ably discharged with the rank OF
Lieutenant of infantry. At the
present time he holds a commits
sion as reserve officer of the U
S. Army.

HITS
HOME AND STUNS
WOMAN TALKING

YUMA - Lightning struck the
home of John Brandenberg at
Eighth avenue and Eighth street
during the storm Monday evening,
it was learned Tuesday, and the
bolt knocked Mrs. Brandenberg
senseless for 20 minutes. Her es-
cape alive and without serious in
jury is marvelled at, but her adven-
ture left her in extremely nerv-
Gus condition.
Sitting near her two three
mOnths-old babes-two of set of
triplets-Mrs. Brandenberg was
entertaining a neighbor woman
when the bolt struck. When she
had been revived, she grasped up
the babies and rushed outdoors in
to the rain in her excitement.
Oddly enough, the house was
hardly more than marked where
the lightning struck it. However,
it is sufficiently SCARED to carry
a souvenir of the miraculous es-
cape of Mrs. Brandenberg.

UNION OIL co.
GIVEN ALARGE
SUPPLY ORDER

OAKLAND, Calf. -. A contract
to supply the Oakland plant of the
Chevrolet Motor Car company with
it's entire requirement in lubricat-
ing oils and greases has been
awarded Union Oil. company of
California, it was learned here.
In addition to providing the oil
and grease requirements, it is un-
derstood that the Union will. also
furnish a portion of the gasoline
needs at this plant.
The lubricating oils and greases
will be supplied from the Unions
refinery at Oleum, located on San
Pablo bay, a few miles from here,
and will be shipped in tank car
lots to the plant of the automobile
concern.
The Chevrolet factory at this
point turns out each day approx
mately 400 cars, and each one as it
leaves the plant will be fabricated
with oils manufactured from west
ern crude by Union Oil company of
California Many of these cars will
also be powered by the popular Un-
ion non-detonating gasoline.
According to fabrication experts,
correct fabrication is an item that
is almost as important to the ulti-
mate life of the car as is it's proper
handling during the "breaking-in"
period or initial 500 miles of driv-
ing. The oil must be all lubricant
in order to provide the proper
cushion for the moving parts.
On this basis the success of the
Union Oil company of California in
securing this contract may be con-
sidered guarantee of the high quail
ity of their lubricating oils.

Sheriff w. P. MahOney

William P. Mahoney, four times
sheriff of Mohave County and one
of the best known sheriffs of the
state, has announced himself as a
candidate for the office of State
Mine Inspector, on the Democratic
ticket.
When Bill" Mahoney, as he is
better known first made intimatiOn
that he would seek this state office,
his friends rallied around him and
now he already has well proper
toned boom" on the road.
Bill Mahoney is well qualified to
fill the office he seeks. For 20
years he was a miner, IA years OF
this time having been spent under
ground in the State of Arizona,
working in the mines which would
come under his supervision as
State Mine Inspector. In every
mining camp of the state will be
found friends of former days who
will champion his cause.
While working in the mines of
Oatman he was persuaded to make
she race for the State Legislature.
zIe did and won. Next he was
slated for the Senate. Again he
won and served one term. Bill
Mahoney was not a wealthy man
however and he couldn't stand the
financial strain of holding these
legislative offices so when his
friends suggested that he make the
race for sheriff of Mohave Coun-
ty, one of the best salaried offices
in the county, he listened to them.
He was easily elected and from
the first he started to make history
in the sheriff's office. When Bill
took his oath of office to enforce
the laws of his county, he meant
Just what he said. Mohave COun-
ty got "drier" than some of the
counties of the West, gambling was
nil and yet even those who had diff
ferent views than he on law en-
fOrcement, admired him for his
stand.
But the liquor problem was not
the only one he handled. Mohave
County became a dangerous place
for criminals Of all kinds. Among
1he spectacular events of his ca
reer will be remembered the pur-
suit and capture of Jake Wlndle,
who had murdered a Los Angeles
policeman and escaped to Arizona !;
the pursuit for hundreds OF miles
and capture of Theodore West,
who later paid the supreme penal
ty on the gallOws at Florence, the
apprehension of George Dixon who
murdered the aged taxi-driver at
Prescott, and hundreds of minor
incidents. MahOney established
the reputation of seldom failing to
get his man and as testimony to
the belief of his people in his abil-
-ity, integrity and efficiency, stand
the four terms he has held the Of
flee of sheriff in Mohave County,
where supporting his oath of office
as he saw it, it was necessary for
him to take chances of making a
new set of political antagonists ev-
cry time he apprehended a liquor
viOlator.
II elected to the office of Mine
Inspector, Bill Mahoney can be re-
lied upon to fill the office in the
same impartial manner that he has
displayed in everything he does. He
has never been defeated in any
county office he sought and his
friends predict that seeking state
office-and he has friends a |!
through the State of Arizona-he
will come through with flying col
ors and be credit to his support
~ ers after elected.
