the murder of John Fl. Robinson the
night Of August Is at her home had
said to a friend, "Why don't YOU

DEAN CUMMINGS FINDS
RELICS AT KAYENTA

After an extended trip of over a
month in the Kayenta region of
northern Navajo county, Dean Byron
Cummings, professor of archaeology
at the University of Arizona, reports
the making of valuable finds in the
way of museum specimens.
Dean Cummings was accompanied
on his trip by John Hands, retired
mining man of Dos Cabezos, and
Claibourne Lockett, of Phoenix, a
sophomore student.
Among the things accomplished by
the party was the finishing of work
undertaken some time ago on very
old pueblo of the round pit house
type. Further work and repairing
was done on a kiva, or ceremonial
council chamber, in the vicinity.
This kiya is the largest yet found in
Arizona. Excavations were made on
two cliff ruins in Nochi and Segi
canyons.
Specimens obtained for the muse
um of particular interest are a pre-
historic ladder, prehistoric matt
ress, as well as numerous specimens
Of pottery.

MERCHANTS CAN BEAT
MAIL ORDER HOUSES
AT THEIR OWN GAME

The forest ranger and the prairie
farmer have learned that they must
fight with fire. They know that
when the all-consuming forest or
prairie fires are sweeping toward
them their only hope Of safety lies
in the 'sbackfire." By kindling and
carefully controlling a fire of their
own they force the bigger fire to
burn itself out, finding no further
fuel on which to feed.
The merchants Of the small cities
and towns are learning that in wag-
ing their fight for existence they
must adopt the tactics Of the men Of
the west. The great mail order
houses Of the cities are the consum-
ing flames which threaten to wipe
out the retail merchants of the small
towns unless the latter, realizing
their danger, take steps to remove
the menace. The retail merchants
as a whole, are beginning to realize
that they must fight fire with fire
and that to save themselves they
must build a "back fire"
Advertising is the weapon with
which the mail order houses conduct
their welfare on the retail merchants
OF the small cities and towns. The
mail order houses do their advertis-
! ing through their own catalogs and
through certain publications which
are known as mail order advertising
mediums. A big mail order house
! spends hundreds of thousands of dol
lars merely on the preparation and
publication OF its bulky catalogs.
The catalog houses also spend
| thousands upon thousands of dol
lars in advertising in the mail order
publications which look for their cir
culation to the people of the small
towns and the rural districts. Ad-
vertising in some of these mediums
costs as much as from $40 to $85 for
single inch, yet the mail order
houses find it profitable to pay these
high rates. Their business is built
upon advertising and if they were
denied the use of the mails for their
advertising for a single month their
/ business would be destroyed
In advertising, the local merch-
ants find the only weapon with which
they can beat the mail order houses
at their own game This does not

vertising, although that is the big
gun in the battery employed by the
successful merchant in his battle for
trade. Advertising is big word
and it covers big field. There is
no longer to be found the man who
does not believe in advertising of
some sort. The placing of display
in a show window is advertising The
| only difference between that kind Of
advertising and advertising in news
papers is that where the one reaches
dozens the other reaches hundreds
Attractive window displays are, OF
] course, an important adjunct of any
retail store They serve their pur-
/ pose but this purpose is only to at
tract the attention of those who may
be passing the store. There are 9th
en- forms of advertising such as per-
sonal solicitation, but printed mat
ter must always continue to be the
chief reliance of merchants in at
tracing customers to their stores.

VICTORIA'S BATH TUB
is OFFERED FOR SALE

Queen Victoria's marble bath is
for sale. Although it cost more
than $50 pounds it can be purchased
for 200 pounds.
When Sir Robert Peel was prime
minister he invited Queen Victoria
to stay at Drayton Manor, his man.
sion near Tamworth, and went to en-
ormous expense in making his home
fit to receive his royal guest.
His main attention was directed to
the bathroom and he engaged Ital-
ian craftsmen to construct a bath
cut out of solid block of white
marble. The bath was made five
feet seven inches long and as Queen
Victorias height was generally ac-
cepted as being under five feet she
had ample room for her ablutions.
No one else has ever used the bath,
which is still in its original setting.

that the store which takes the peo-
pie into confidence through its adj
yertising is the one in which 1T may
expect to get the best bargains and
the most satisfactory treatment. t
knows that the store which adver-
tises constantly and regularly has
the best and most up-to-date stocks
because this store sells it's goods
more rapidly than the one which does
not advertise and, therefore, is not
forced to carry over old stock from
one season to another. The public
knows that the store which adver-
tises can place lower prices on Its
goods because it turns over it's stock
oftener than the store which does
not advertise and therefore does not
have it's capital tied up in sloW-mov-
ing merchandise.
The mail order house does not get
it's business by merely letting the
public know that it has dry goods or
hardware or groceries or some other
commodity to sell. 1t creates a de-
mand for it's goods by placing in It's
catalogue attractive pictures and de-
tailed descriptions of the articles
which it has to sell. The lure of the
mail order catalog lies in the fact
that the merits of the merchandise
offered are placed before the pros
pectiye purchased in the most graph
ic manner. Fhe local retail merch-
ant has the same opportunity TO do
this that the mail order house has
and can do it much more effectively

Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman MeDon-

has confessed that her story of hav-
ing shared a seaside cottage at Car

"Miss X" and Kenneth j. Ormiston,
former Angeles radio operator, was
fake for which she was to receive

The admission was made in a
sworn statement.
Some time after Mrs. Mcpherson
reappeared witnesses were found at
Carmel, Calf, who said Ormiston
had occupied a cottage at Carmel, a
part Of the time that the evangelist
was missing, with woman who
looked like Mrs. Mcpherson.
The alleged confession climaxed a
dramatic meeting between Mrs. Sell
Iaff and her twin sister, Mrs. Virla

have been made at the direct re-
quest of the latter. They met in the

PROBABLY MAYS HAD
OTHER REASONS FOR
LEAVING COUNTRY

A Phoenix dispatch says Governor
Hunt has received an appeal from
Mrs. Jack Mays, wife of the former
editor fthe Flagstaff Independent,
a weekly newspaper, that he help
find Mays, who dropped from sight
last August 90 Mrs Mays has re-
turned to Chandler, Texas, her for
mer home. She says she fears foul
play" Mays was seen on the road
between Phoenix and Tucson on that
date, having gone south to transact
some business. In her letter Mrs.
Mays says her husband had consid-
cradle money when he was last seen.
No trace of either Mays or his car
has been found, she pointed out. He
told Phoenix friends he was going
to Tucson to take up newspaper
proposition there.
The newspaper has been taken
over by Roy George Of Tempe.
From local information it is be-
Ieved that Mays, former repairer
of typewriters, had better reasons
for being missing than foul play" I"

PAT IS WORRIED

Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi needs fan
ming.
Right In the middle Of summer the Senator mops
his brow in Washington and delivers a laborious
statement on Muscle Shoals.
He rises to remark that the national power COM
bines pending bid for 1fty-year lease on the peo-
ples $150000,OO0 power project be accepted as
quickly as Congress convenes next December.
The Senator, one fears, is forgetful of climatic
conditions. Such exertion, no matter how cool 1t
keeps him with Coolidge is dangerous in this
weather.
few facts and figures may be a beneficial ven-
tilaton.
The bid which he ndorses would pay the Gov
ernment for the first eighteen years average rem
tai on existing property of only $1,10oOOO year.
Under present Government operation the Ala
bama Power Company member of the combine, is
paying the Government for purchased power es-
timated $1,524000 clear profit year.
Government operation in eighteen years will
net the Government at least $7.632,O00 more than
the best private lease yet proposed
Senator Harrison is humorous. Perhfps he can
see the humor of his position.

INSULT AND INDIANA

The political activities of Samuel Insult> in I'LL
nois are being dragged to public view by Senator
Jim Reed.
They show that the head of vast electric ana
utility interests paid huge sums OF money 10 con-
troll the nominations for United States Senate IN
both parties.
Where there was contest. he threw many
thousands into the fight
On the Democratic side, where theer was but one
candidate he paid the major share of the bills for
the fireworks which the unopposed candidate put on
display.
In the fall, no matter which party wins. insult
will have friend in office.
The probing committee has not yet got the
answer to the important question which is involved
1t has not yet secured from insult the real rear
son for his activities in politics.
He has not yet told why he is willing to spend
many thousands of dollars to name his for
office.
No one believes that he does it for friendship
for these men.
He would hardly back two horses in the same
race for the sake of sentiment
There are boards which fix tax values. There are
boards which fix rates for light and power and street
railway fares. There boards which can help
him turn the watered stocks of corporations into
streams Of real gold.
And all these boards are generally controlled
by master politicians and machines which are neao"
ed by Senator'S
The people understand, at least guess, that
when these thousands spent for politics, they
will be called upon to repay later through higher
rates which the officials grant to the men who bid
highest for political candidates
The people Of this State are very much inter-
ested in the revelations of the bipartisan activities
of Mr. insult in Illinois and Chicago.
For Mr. insult also reaches into this State with
his great utility ventures.
He has his agents in this State as he has them
in Illinois, and it may be presumed that his political
interests not limited by State lines. They fol-
low his lines of power and his rails to those cities
and States In which he operates.
Not only he but other seekers of privilege can be
counted upon to put up huge funds to elect their
favorites to office
1t will be interesting to watch insult in Indiana
this fall
And 1t will be safe bet for the people to vote
against any candidate he backs with his dollars
unless course, he finds both parties eager take
his money.

Personalities

mo person is greater than com
munism, or essential to IT," remarks
the Russian embassy at Berlin with
reference to the Zinoviev removal.
This is only one view, however.
Others see It as a victory for the
peasants, and still others as an evi-
dence Of factional strife.
Zinoviev has been a power in Boil
shevism since it began.
He was a close friend Of Lenin,
and has often been spoken Of as "the
power behind the throne"
Though 1t has been a vaunted
tenet of the Communists that per
sonalities did not count, there has
seldom been a movement so COM
pletly dominated by personalities.
The outside world has heard little
but names-Lenin, Trotsky, Stain,
Zinoviev.
The theory is that these men have
acted merely as instruments of the
masses, but most people believe that
they have nodded the mass like
putty.
Most people believe. too, that when
the end comes, that whether through
violent upheaval. or through grad
ual and peaceful methods, it will be
brought about by some, outstanding
figure.

OUT OF DEBT9

Governor Jackson should hurry back from his
Western vacation and hold another celebration Of
getting the State out of debt"
For under the decision Of the Supreme Court
there Is very definite prospect Of the State being
compelled to raise several millions of dollars to
pay citizens who forced to pay taxes now held
to be Illegal
The decision Of the court holds that the system
under which horizontal increases of tax values was
made by the tax board was Illegal
In test cases. the court says that certain tax
payers viii receive back the taxes which they
paid
All other citizens. II follows, who paid such
taxes entitled TO similar refunds and the total
amount Is estimated anywhere from seven to ten
millions of dollars.
And with that situation the claim Of getting
the State out of debt fades away
The facts are that the debt was paid by In
creased burdens upon the owners of automobiles.
The bigger fact Is that the State was put into
debt by the very organization which now claims
credit for paying It; useless and extravagantIy put
into debt
The payment Of the debt' was made possible
by taking away inheritance taxes from the road
funds and then increasing the gasoline taxes to pay
Cor the roads
There Is no semblance Of claim that the ex-
pense OF operating the State government was re-
duced to any considerable degree.
The money not saved by careful manage
ment and economy 1t was raised by putting heavier
burdens on the taxpayer and the owners of automo-
biles.
And now 1t develops that the taxes raised by
the State were Increased in illegal manner and
that the State must repay
Can the State be said to be out of debt when
there is the certain prospect that it must give back
money to which it is not entitled?
Why not try plan of cutting expenses and sav.
Ing money instead of constantly increasing burdens
upon the Industrious?
