BACK BILL AGAINST
MAIL ORDER BUNCOS

Congressman Carl Hayden has adj
vised the Yavapai county chamber of
commerce that he is supporting Con-
gressman Watsons bill to prohibit
the sending Of unsolicited nerchan-
disc through the mails. According to
Congressman Hayden, the irregular
practice against which the entire
country is complaining has become an
intolerable nuisance.
The United States chamber of COM
.merce has been keeping in close touch
with the Watson bill and their under
standing is that the bill has the sup
port of the -postoffice department.
According to letter recently re-
ceived from the national organization
bv the local chamber Of commerce,
hearings are to be held before the
committee on postoffice and post
roads Of the house on March 3, at
which time this bill is slated to come
up for consideration. According TO
the present law, the use of the Z. u.
D.. and insured mails is prohibited to
senders Of merchandise unless order
ed by the addressee and for which
addressee is expected to remit, but
there is no law to prevent the use OF
the ordinary mails for this purpose.

NO GRAZING PERMITS TO
BE ISSUED ON SITGREAVES
FOR STOCK. GUARANTEED

In order to keep the livestock graz
ing on the national forests as free
from disease as possible, the district
forester in cooperation with the bu-
reau of animal industry, which has
charge of the control Of livestock
diseases, has issued instructions that
all cattle which have wintered outside
of the national forest on areas quar-
antined for cattle scabies by the Ari-
zona livestock sanitary board during
1926 for which permits are desired on
the Sitgreaves national forest during
the season of 1926 must be accom-
panied by an inspection certificate
showing their freedom from cattle
scabies infection or exposure thereto.
Therefore, no permits will be issued
on the Sitgreaves national forest for
the season of 1926 for any stock which
wintefed off the forest in the quaran
tine area nor will such stock be al
lowed to enter the forest until in
spected by an inspector Of the bureau
of animal industry and certificate
issued showing that stock is free from
cattle scabies, infection or exposure
thereto. Allowing stock to drift onto
the forest or driving stock onto
the forest prior to inspection by the
proper authorities by persons who
hold grazing preferences on permits
may result in revocation of their
grazing pfivileges.-The Snowflake

ON LOSING THINGS WHEN
SHOPPING

Does it seem sometimes that YOU
fave an almost constitutional weak
ness for losing some >of your belong
ines when you shop? This is a real
misfortune, for not only does such a
habit represent real economic loss,
and so has direct bearing on the
family finances, but often the articles
themselves have a sentimental value
for which money cannot compensate.
Whatever the cause of the trouble,
whether carelessness, fatigue, or lack
of pockets, you can do much to lessen
the likelihood of these losses occurring.
The manager Of the lost and found
department of big store says that
only few of the many articles picked
up in the store every day are marked.
Consequently the office can do nothing
toward returning them.
Pocketbooks and bags, of course,
should always be marked plainly with
the owners name and address inside
d piece of tape sewed in. or a small
key tag fastened securely to the lining.
An easy way, but not so dependable,
Is to carry one of your cards in your
purse.
1t is always difficult to keep track OF
several packages of different size. The
simplest thing to do is to ask the clerk
to tie them ell together securely when
ever you add new package to your
collection. Another plan is to write
your name and address on every bun
die as soon as you receive it.
Then there is the difficulty of car.
rying a number of bundles at once.
For this one Of the many kinds of
shopping bags is Indispensable When
you go into a rest room, keep a watch
full eye on your purchases. And never
take off your rings in a public wash.
room to wash your hands.
Furs should never be tucked care
lessly under the arm, nor laid on the
counter while examining a purchase.
They should be worn with a strong
cord that will permit of opening wide
for comfort while in a warm store.
Always make sure you have closed
your bag or purse securely. To walk
about in q throng of shoppers with
your purse half open on your wrist, Is
simply to invite pickpockets.
And finally, wise shopper will make
a list of her errands, check them off as
they are accomplished, and carefully
count her bundles and her change after
each purchase.

MOHAVE SHERIFF CAPTURES
BANDITS IN REAL GUN FIGHT

With the arrest of John Newman,
Joe Martin and Arnold Lou Sunday in
very rough country south Of the Val
entine Indian agency, the sheriff's
office believes it has cleared up the
robbery of the J. ]. Peart store near
Crozier early Sunday morning.
The arrest of the THO was accom-
plished by Deputy Sheriffs Fred Coh-
nour and Frank Gully and Federal
Prohibition Officer Frank Aitken aft
er gun battle in which Newman was
struck in the thigh and bullet had
grazed Martins head.
The posse took up the trail OF the
alleged bandits short distance from
town, where the men were forced to
abandon an automobile in which they
fled. This car, officers said, was
stolen recently in California.
The officers, mounted on horses
and assisted by Indian trailers, dis
covered the fugitives about 13 miles
from where the car had been aban-
doned. The three men, all of them
young, barricaded themselves behind
a tall yucca and opened fire on the
officers when they Ahad approached
within 200 yards of the barricade. The
deputies returned the fire and wound
ed Newman and Martin, after which
Lou signaled surrender by waving his
cap, placed over the stock of his rifle
in the air.
The fugitives were armed with two
high-powered rifles and a sawed-off
shotgun, the officers stated.
Money and valuables, totaling ap-
proximately $400, taken from a serv-
ice station burglarized, were recover
ed from the trio, it was stated.
