JERRY DUFFY MARRIES
CHILDHOOD PLAYMATE

Manus ("Jerry'O Duffy, proprietor
of the NJ. & M. grocery Of Flagstaff,
slipped out of town the other day and
the next thing we all knew was that
he'd absconded from bachelordom and
recruited himself bride.
The fortunate young woman who
thus makes Jerry doubly fortunate
was Miss Elizabeth Quinn, young
woman Of New York city and child
hood friend of him who now is friend
husband.
Miss Quinn that was was met at
Albuquerque last Friday on her way
from New York by Mr.. Duffy that is
and they came together to Flagstaff,
pausing here only briefly, then going
on to Kingman, where next morning
Rev. FIR. JOS. Hootsman, longtime
friend of the bridegroom, made him
such. SO, dating from eight by the
clock last Sunday morning, Mr.. Duffy
ranks no longer as a man who can
do altogether as he pleases, which
seems to please him greatly, and no
wonder.
Mr.. Duffy's many Flagstaff friends
are eager to meet the bride and all in
the way of best wishes tell her about
her husbands peccadillos that she
may humor them and make him al
together happy.
Congratulations the two OF you.

NOW WHEN WEATHER IS
WRONG BLAME THOMPSON


Walter H. Thompson, assistant city
clerk, will on the first of May take
charge of the U. S. weather bureau
office here, succeeding George T.
Harrington, whose relief he has been
for the last year or more during Mr..
Herrington's frequent absences on
business.
Mr.. Harrington has been weather
observer here for the last fourteen or
fifteen years, though the local office
was established more than 25 years
ago. Since his appointment the serv-
ice has been greatly extended and I'M
proved
Few people realize how much detail
there is connected with the job. There
is not enough at station like Flag
staff, where hourly observations are
not taken, to require all of a mans
time. So he may have other major
duties. But the demands are eXacting
in that at three specific times a day
he or his assistant must gbe on the job.
The equipment, all owned by the
government, is at the residence on
North Leroux street occupied by Mr..
Harrington and which he will vacate
on May /, Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson
moving in.
Here is part of the equipment:
Thermometer, maximum thermome-
ter, mean thermometer, dry thermom-
eter, wet thermometer, barometer,
barograph, thermograph, electric au-
tomato sundial, automatic wind
measuring machine.
Each morning just before six the
observer begins his instrument read
ings and shortly after six telegraphs
the readings to Los Angeles. This
data includes temperature, pressure,
direction of wind, mean temperature,
whether cloudy, clear or partly cloudy
and whether clouds are cirrus, cumu-
lus, nimbus or stratus or some
combination; amount of precipitation,
velocity of wind, whether pressure is
going up or down. The readings are
taken again at six in the evening and
wired in. At noon the wind is
checked up.
At the end of each week the aver
ages for the week are wired, and at
the end of the month the averages
for the month.

CHAMBER ENDORSES PLAN
FOR COMMUNITY HOTEL
AT ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

modations for the ever increasing
tourist travel" said L. A. Webster
of the Hockenbury System, Inc, of
Harrisburg, Pa, in charge Of the
hotel campaign, Wednesday night at
the special meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce at the court house. This
meeting was called by P. ]. Moran,
president of the chamber and ap-
proximately 100 residents of Flagstaff
and close vicinity were. present.
|. B. Koch, general chairman of the
campaign executive committee made
a brief summary of the situation
prior to the definite plans for the
building of the hotel in Flagstaff. In
his remarks he said in part, "The
hotel committee composed of nine
business men of Flagstaff, appre-
ciated just how great was the need
for modern tourist and commercial
hotel, and so, after considerable de-
liberation, we asked the Hockenbury
System, Inc, Of Pennsylvania, spe-
cialists in hotel financing, to make
comprehensive survey of the situa-
ton. This report showed US, to an
even greater extent, the dire need OF
modern hotel accommodations. But

pose of investigating the past record

LET'S ALL BEGIN EARLY
NEXT WEEK GIVING THIS.
TOWN THOR0 CLEANING

Under the leadership of the
Woman's club and under the general
direction of Mrs. f. M. Gold, presi
dent of that organization, Flagstaff
next week will be given the most in
tensive and aggressive cleaning-up
campaign ever conducted here.
And the way everyone Is cooperat-
ing is fine.
The Boy Scouts, Camp Fire girls,
the schools, the churches, the civic
and fraternal organizations-all are
enthusiastically in line.
Now if individual citizens will only
do their part, Strengthening fences
and gates, raking up and disposing Of
weeds, ash-piles and rubbish, it will
make the campaign a complete sue
cess.
If the campaign is a success we all
may feel with pride that we have
made this a healthier and cleaner
town. 1T win make more favorable
impression on visitors. 1t will en-
hance real estate values.
The Boy Scouts, the town divided
into seven districts, are making three
general canvasses to encourage the
cleaning up of yards and premises
and there is great competition to see
which group will effect the greatest
percentage Of improvement.
Then there are the two addresses
to be made here next Tuesday-at
Teachers College and at the Rotary
club-by H. A. Adrian, mayor of
Santa Barbara and co-worker and
friend of the late Luther Burbank.

City superintendent of Schools
John @. Thomas, believes Flagstaff

perhaps two of the district finals
prizes tonight at Flagstaff high
school auditorium when the last local
declamations on the constitution are

a $25 bust of Lincoln and being ac-
mowledged as the best declaimer

counties of northern Arizona, will
have the honor of representing this

staff youno man or woman who wins
tonight gets to Los Angeles and wins
there, then he or she will go to
Washington for the national finals
and be given a tour of the world
Something to try for, eh?
And there are six Flagstaff high
school students right on their toes for
the contest tonight. For there's some
thing at stake. But there's great
consolation for all, successful or not,
because the study and effort each has
put into the work to get this far in
the contest has done him or her an
inestimable amount of good.
These are the contestants tonight
and their subjects:
Marcia Slipher, Franklin and the
Constitution.
Ruth Mary Switzer, The Constitu-
tion.
Edward Koch, Hamilton and the
Constitution.
Pauline Smith, Washington and the

DRUMMERS RESOLVED
ON RECAPTURE HARRY
H. NASH, MURDERER

Determined effort is being made by
the Southwestern Travelling Mems as
sociation to bring about the capture
of Harry HI. Nash, who on March 1
escaped from the state prison at
Florence, where he was serving a
term of 65 to 70 years for the muir
der near Flagstaff on April %, 1920,
of Martin F. Schwab, Payson, Utah,
travelling salesman.
The association, largely through
the efforts of George A. Fleming, a
travelling man of Flagstaff, at a re-
cent meeting called upon Governor
Hunt to offer suitable reward for
the recapture of Nash. Governor
Hunt offered 500. The association
promptly doubled the offer and is
giving the widest publicity through
its newspaper, The Southwestern
Roadrunner, in which are given details
of the murder, trial and escape, pic
lures of Nash and the offers of re-
ward. The association hopes to raise
$1,000 by voluntary subscriptions.
This association includes travelling
men of Arizona, New Mexico and
California. The amount of reward
is being further increased by assess
ments upon the members. The Road
runner says:
Preparations were being made all
over the state for making the man.
hunt of nationwide interest. Letters
came frequently from various travel
ing men and groups, urging the ac-
tive chase to commence at the ear
liest possible date, and a number OF
voluntary subscriptions were made TO
the association to swell the reward
for Nash's return to prison. The
amount subscribed to date equals
that offered by the state of Arizona.
National publicity will be given
the hunt, as the return of Nash is of
great interest to every travelling man
within the United States. 1t is hoped
that other travelling mems associa-
tions will take up the hunt in their
localities by the posting of rewards
and proper publicity in their local
publications. 1t is highly desirous to
spread this mans picture, description
and history, so that he may be appre-
hended at the earliest date possible.
"Nash has good start in his dash
for freedom. The news of his escape
was delayed, due to the illness of the
new warden of the penitentiary. He
is intelligent, and has a reputation of
being a bad man to handle. The orr
ginal chase, which resulted in his
capture in Los Angeles nearly nine
months after the murder of SchVab,
was sufficiently thrilling, involving
Journeys all over the southwest until
finally the trail was picked up hot at
Weiser, Idaho, and led to his arrest
in Los Angeles.
"The fact that Schwab was a trav-
cling man, and that every travelling
man who travels by machine is en-
dangered by pickup friends, are the
reasons why the Roadrunners are so
anxious to bring this man back to
take his punishment. Herein is a
warning to travelling men, and an OBJ
iect lesson to would-be criminals.
"The cooperation of the travelling
mems associations of the country IS
asked, and this office will gladly sup
ply any information on request"

LOCAL HOTEL MANAGERS
BOOST PROJECT FOR THE
new COMMUNITY HOTEL

"All Flagstaff needs IS adveftis-
ing" said Mrs. C. C. Knox, pro-
prietress of the Ideal hotel, this
morning. Recently / sent out 25
chamber of commerce booklets to
prospective travellers living on the
coast, and already II of these people
have stopped with me and the others
will come.
"My house was filled last night"
said Mrs. Knox. This is only a slight
indication of what advertising will do
for Flagstaff, and ] am sure that
when the new community hotel is
built, with the advertising it will give
Flagstaff, | will be forced to increase
my capacity"
Alf Dickinson, manager of the Pine
hotel, came into the hotel campaign
office yesterday morning and in dis
cussing the hotel situation and Flag
staff's needs, said, "Many nights ]
have turned away as many as rs neo-
pie from my hotel on account of its
being full and in order to satisfy
these tourists, have taken the trouble
to find places for them in the other
hotels until they too were full and
then walked blocks in order to get
them a place to spend the night. And
even then," said Mr. Dickinson, many
of these folks have been forced to
sleep in their cars or drive on to
Williams or Winslow.
aside from our present hotels"
concluded Mr. Dickinson, what Flag
staff needs is a big, modern hotel in
order to satisfy the needs of all types
Of travellers"

MEYER FAMILY LEAVE
TUBA FOR NORTHWEST
SONS REGRETS IN. VERSE

Mr. and Mrs. Harvey K Meyer and
son left Sunday for their new home in
Nespelem, Wash, where Mr.. Meyer
has received appointment as superin-
tendent Of the ColviHe Indian agency.
in charge Of some $500 Colville and
800 Spokane Indians.
Mr. Meyer had for three years been
superintendent of the Western Ma
vajo agency at Tuba City and seems
to have established something of a
record there. Anyway, stories of dis
cord that emanated from there dur
ing three or four years and under
two or three superintendent preced-
come a thing of the past since he
landed there. Perhaps that was
largely due to his tact and genial
manner. He and his good wife and
little son made friends on the reserva-
ton and off it, with all they met, and
there wasn't room for discord.
The Meyers planned stopping at
San Francisco for visit with POI"
Warner, the celebrated football coach,
old friend of Mr. Meyer and to give
Mrs. Meyer time to talk over old
times with a lady who used to be her
music teacher.
The gist of all this is, that we peo-
pie here are mighty sorry to have
Mr.. and Mrs. Meyer and the young
chip off the old block leave here.
And we hope they'll not forget us,
because we shan't them.
Chester L. Walker, former resident
of this city, where he has a lot OF
friends, succeeds Mr.. Meyer at Tuba
CITY. For the last two years he had
been travelling auditor in the Indian
service. Mr. Walker has three
year-old son. Living among the In
iuns, on the Painted desert may do
for young Walker what it seems TO
have done for 13-year-old Harvey Is.
Meyer, Jr., who just the other day.
standing around watching his NAV,
and maybe hectoring her a little as
thirteen-ye -year-old boys sometimes do
their maws, wrote this:
Farewell
Yes, Tuba, we are leaving thee today,
But many pleasant mem'ries we shall
take away;
The quiet street, the streamlet by the
spring,
The fascination that the mountains
bring,
The sunset glow Of closing day,
All safely in our hearts will stay.
Our love for thee is steadfast,
staunch, and true;
We grieve at thought Of leaving you.
Our friends, our loved ones, left be-
hind
This parting farewell seems unkind;
And, Oh, we love thee to the last
That love for thee is anchored fast
But bark! we hear the parting knell
Farewell, hearts home, farewell,
farewell!
Several of The Suns readers are
noeticallv inclined. If there's any
among you of twice the age who in
twice the time can do half as well, do
it now and The Sun1l be proud to in
troduce you as Coconino county,
poet laureate to an eXpectant and
palpitatingly-sympathetic population
