TO BE SHOWN AT FAIR

Con Pessarra is running quite an
experimental farm out on his ranch
in the Anderson Pass district. From
seeds he received from county farm
agent X. X. Henness he has grown
some rather remarkable dry land
products. He brought in samples
which are being taken to the state
fair at Phoenix. Among them are
honey drip sorghum, over feet
tall, Sudan grass, six feet tall, milo
maize, and hegari feterita, all with
we'll filled heads.
Pete Michelbach brought in a num-
Der of exhibits from his Hart Prair-
lie ranch, among which is sheaf of
white blossom sweet clover over sew
en- feet high which is considered a
remarkable growth for this climate
and altitude.

COLLEGE FRESHMEN LOST
TO PRESCOTT BADGERS

Unable to overcome the handicap
of shortage Of men and inexperi-
ence at playing together, Flagstaff
college freshmen were defeated Sat-
urday at Prescott in a ragged game
of football by the Prescott high
school Badgers 21-0.
One car carrying four of the
freshmen failed to show up in Pres
colt for the game. Individually each
man nthe freshman team played
good game we are told but the
freshmen had had but little practice
at playing together and could not
get together to stop the onslaught
of end runs made by the Badgers.
If return game is played it is
confidently expected that the Bad
gers will see an entirely different
style of game by the freshmen.

NATHAN BANKHEAD'S WIFE
AND MOTHER UNHURT AS
TRAIN WRECKS THEIR CAR |

Nathan Bankhead's wife and moth
er miraculously escaped death before
his terrified eyes last Saturday near
Bellemont when the Ford sedan in
which they were riding was struck
by a freight train, thrown Is feet
into the air, and dropped on its four
wheels with the back of the tonneau
sliced off as if by a huge knife.
There was not scratch on either of
the ladies. They We're not even
bruised, though the shock of the col
lision and the imminence of death left
them terribly shaken as was Mr..
Bankhead who, powerless, witnessed
the accident from another car ahead.
The top of the car was complete
wreck, the glass shattered.
No explanation seems possible as
to how the accident could have come
about. Both the car and the train
were approaching the crossing in
plain view. The engineer who stop
ped the train Immediately, said that
the first he knew was when he saw
the nose of the radiator sticking out
in front of the cow-catcher.
The Bankheads were returning to
their ranch southwest of Bellemont
after meeting Mrs. Georgia Bank
head, arriving from Texas for visit.
Nate was in a truck ahead with his
daughters, who just by chance were
not in the rear seat with their moth
er and grandmother. He had seen
the approaching train, crossed with
time to spare and had slowed down.
A scream from his little daughter,
Georgia Claire, turned his head just
in time to see the train strike the
other car.

FLAGSTAFF HIGH AT LAST
BREAKS CLARKDALE TEAM

Flagstaff Hi football team defeat
ed the strong Clarkdale team last
Friday for the first time in the his
tory of the school. The score was
10-7. Both teams scored a touch
down and 35-yard drop kick by
Babe" Cameron in the third period
gave the locals their three-point
margin.
The entire Flagstaff team showed
much Improvement over the initial
contest at Prescott couple of weeks
ago, but there are still several
rough spots to be ironed out. Their
chief fault last week was their in
ability to hang onto the BAH Clark
dale's only score was made when
Twitty picked up Flagstaff fum-
BILE and raced 40 yards for a touch
down. Other than this, Clarkdale
never threatened the local goal and
the ball was in their territory in
possession of Flagstaff most of the
game.
The Eagles scored early in the
first quart/r after June had inter
cepted Clarkdale pass in the middle
of the field A series of end runs
and line plunges carried the ball to
the eight-yard line and Cameron
carried it over on the next play.
Captain Charlie Prochnow drop
kicked for the extra point.
Cameron and G. Prochnow played
good game in the backfield, doing
most Of the ball carrying. Cameron's
defensive work and kicking also were
outstanding. Meir, who was substit-
uted in the final quarter, tore off
some good gains around end and re-
turned punts for good yardage. Caf-
fey and Beard at ends played great
defensive game and stopped every
thing that came their way Corbett
was probably the outstanding man
in the line. He consistently opened
holes for the backfield men and on
defense broke through and stopped
many Clarkdale plays before they
were started.
This afternoon the locals tangle
with their ancient rival, Williams on
the Flagstaff City park field. Flag
staff is determined to get revenge
for the 60 defeat at the hands of
Williams last year and have been
working hard for this game all
week. The outcome is question but
it promises to be a great scrap, one
we'll worth watching, and one deserv-
ing the support of local people.
Scores of other northern Arizona
teams in last weeks games:
Williams 12; Kingman 0.
Winslow 8; Jerome 0.

PHOENIX MAN BOOSTS
FLAGSTAFF In HIS ADS

Mr.. Refs, who claims to own the
biggest little store in Phoenix," ;"
has this to say of Flagstaff in his
advertisement, which is very kindly
boost and good advertising for all
concerned:
Just talked to- a Flagstaff booster
and we asked him how that city re-
ceived its name. He told US that his
city is as high as a flagpole, and
that if you stood on top of house
you could touch the sky. So we came
to the conclusion that they must be
chosen people up there. We have
also learned that the Flagstaff peo-
pie are great boosters for Phoenix.
In fact they send a lot of people
down here for the winter. One Of
Flagstaff's prominent citizens has
just told us that they want people
to know that it is the ideal Summer
Resort of Arizona, with its fine roads
ard scenery, to say nothing of its
beautiful new hotel. In fact, they are
still building as fast as any city in
the state. OF course, where there are
boosters you always find builders,
and that's Flagstaff. So folks, lets
go up and visit next summer, and
when any of them are with US this
winter make them feel at home. We
must work together for accomplish
ment. In the meantime we are look
ing for your support and in order
for US to prosper and to continue to
be the biggest and best little store
in town, we ask you to look over our
magazines, cigars and tobaccos.
Yours for Flagstaff summer resort

STATE GAME WARDEN

Coconino county now has two dep
uty state game wardens, George See
having recently been appointed and
Charlie Simpson still being on the
job. Both are working hard to guard

vember election, hunting may still
continue under the present code un-
til the new code prepared by the
Stat Game association has become
effective; which removes the object
ion some had to voting for repeal of

BRING YOUR FRIENDS
HERE FOR HOME COMING

Many interesting and instructive
letters have been received by Flag
staff Chamber of Commerce winter
sports committee from cities all over
the country relative to their winter
sports activities. The various plans
and ideas are now being compiled by
the chamber and a definite plan of
action will be announced soon.
1t is hoped to secure the consent of
the city to the use of the north slope
a toboggan and also the use of the
lake in City park for skating. If
these are available it is reasonable to
believe that Flagstaff will be in a
position to offer to Arizona and the
southwest one of the most unique and
thrilling winter sport programs in
the country.
A plan of financing these winter
activities will also be decided upon
soon. This plan will not be burden
some to anyone and will give all a
chance to- not only put this thing
over, but at the same time enjoy the
winter sports at nominal fee.
The winter sports committee of
which M. j. Pilkington is chairman,
asks that everyone talk this up, and
write to friends in other parts of the
country with the hope that they will
visit Flagstaff and participate in the
winter sports.
Home Coming for Flagstaff" will
be feature of the winter sports and
will be during February at the for
NAL dedication of Hotel Monte Vista.
Ask all the old-timers and former
residents of Flagstaff to come home
and see the substantial developments
here.

ton to Progressive Arizona and a
large living room plant from the
Flower shop.
The campaign judges report that
although there has been much i'm
provement shown in the city, there
still are good many places that
could be made much M IRE attractive,
Many of these are old .hacks, which
should be torn down and the property
cledneu up. OIueI pASeSS u pIOpSIty
are vacant and are overgrown with
weeds. Some have old broken-dowr
fences and plank walks that have not
been used for many years. 1t is the
consensus of opinion that if we want
our city to be attractive to strangers
and those who will make their homes
here, we must keep it clean, not only
during one month but throughout the
entire year.

Concrete Block for
Partitions Advised

Basement partitions Of concrete
block or tile are recommended for car
rying the weight of the floors and in
terror partitions as preferable to
beams and columns although for wide
spans and heavy structures the latter
are obviously necessary.
The rigid support afforded by inte-
riOr masonry walls insures that there
will be practically no settling of
floors or interior partitions and cOnSe
quently little If any cracking of plas-
ter or lOOSening Of interior trim
Such walls afford fireprOof Enclosures
for heating equipment and fuel, con-
fine steam, moisture and OdOrs and
provide isolation for fruit, vegetables
or other perishables.
Concrete block and tile are much
used for both lOad-bearing and non
lOad-bearing partition walls, also for
fire wall inclOsures Standard units
are used for load bearing walls. while
special units from four to six inches
thick are often used for partition
walls that do not carry loads other
than their own weight.

most convenient arrangement of
servants quarters.
On ascending to the upper floor we
find two large bedrooms and one
smaller one. The large rooms, placed
over the living portion of the first
floor, are practically identical, and
each is provided with an unusually
large closet, with shelves at both ends.
The smaller bedroom has a smaller
but ample closet, and there are large
closets in the hall and off the bath
room.
The bathroom is conveniently
placed at the head of the stairs with
in few feet of all the bedroom doors.
There is a large storage space under
the roof adjacent to the garage struc-
ture, and a large balcony opening
from the smaller bedroom. This bal
COny is decked with canvas and could
easily be adapted to use as a sleeping
porch. 1t is entirely hidden from the
street side of 9e house.
