HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
dstkKxHHa1 aS1xHR1 ksktk1k1a
CO. 1922. Harland H. Alen.)
SELECTING THE MATTRESS

A good mattress is looked upon by
most people as a luxury, but nothing
Is more essential to restful sleep, and
the extra expense should be regarded
as a profitable investment.
Size, filling, covering and tacking are
all points to be considered In buying.
The standard mattress is filed with
horse hair. You judge the quality by
the curliness and length of the hair
used, the curliness insuring filling
that Is springy and not likely to
lump Name hair is first quality,
and tail hair second quality. The fill
ings Of white hair are the most expen-
sive, but for general use you will do
better to select hair of good length
without regard to the color.
A good hair mattress is, of course,
the last word in luxurious comfort, and
In durability. The only question is
the one of the initial expense.
And with present methods of manu-
facture, the cotton-felt or wool-felt
mattress gives excellent satisfaction.
In fact, many persons choose felt
mattress from preference, quite aside
from the fact that it Is cheaper, be-
cause, just at first, when quite new, 1t
always be re-made after becoming
lumpy or matted The best felt mat
tresses come guaranteed not to lump,
and one of these is certainly prefer
able TO a cheap hair mattress filled
with short, broken hair.
A cotton felt mattress is not made
by stuffing a tick with cotton, as might
be supposed but by building it up,
layer by layer, with soft, thin batting.
A cheaper grade mattress is made
with filling of corn husk, grass, hay
or excelsior, which will give fairly
good service as long as it does not lump
or break up into small pieces; some
times, for greater comfort, these are
made with grass or husks in the lower
half. and cotton felt as a top filling.
There is some difference of opinion
as to whether a mattress should be
tufted The plain seems to be more
sanitary, but in medium grade mat
tresses tufting is almost necessary to
prevent the filling from slipping and
packing.
The best wearing mattresses have
two or three rows Of tacking in the
boxing to keep the mattress in shape.
Even after much usage you will find
that such a mattress still makes up
trim and square.

More NeUs From The Seat OF Var
In TOntO Basin Forty Years Ago

is reported as being at his ranch on
Canyon Creek. So far we have no
account of his wanderings, or why it
is that he did not report his where
abouts. Had he been less secretive it
is more than probable that better
state of feeling would now exist III
Pleasant Valley 'Iis said that the
persons who were fired upon at New
toms ranch were in search Of him, and
it is therefore inferred that it was
owing to his unexplained absence
that they were there.
Tucker, the man who was reported
shot through the body at NeWton's
ranch, has so far recovered as to be
able to be out. Gillespie, another
wounded at Newton's, was still miss
ing when our informant left the val
ley. The supposition is that he is
dead.
When such things "are at the worst
they sometimes mend" We wish we
could fix the date when halcyon peace
will again reign in Pleasant Valley,
but from present indications there we
must regard hope as so remotely de-
ferred as not to justify the hazard Of
a guess. The brush is reported full
of men, nerved for daring deeds, who
have no thought of backdown, or a
fear of entering into covenant with
death. While reproving each dull de-
lay in the arrival of news from the
scene of conflict, which when received
is so Janus-faced as to puzzle the
quid nunc that receives it, we simply
give the statements made to US, with
out verification of the printer.

''The only thing in the world that
Arizona hasn't got California beat on
is the Pacific ocean," he said. "A
person could travel around Flagstaff
for month and then not take in all
the points Of interest. The more |
see of other greatly advertised sec
tions of the country, the more | come
to realize what a wonderful state Ari-
zona is. It is rapidly coming into its
own and it will be only few years
when tourists from all parts of the
world will be headed for Arizona in
stead of merely skipping through the
state in rush to get to California" !"

THE LATEST FROM PLEASANT
VALLEY


(From the Arizona Silver Belt, Sept.
3, 1887, forty years ago in Arlzona.)
A gentleman just in from Pleasant
Valley, the scene of the shooting at
Newton's ranch, on the 9th. ultimo,
gives us some interesting facts con-
cerning the state of affairs when he
left that tranquil 60 vicinity.
Sheriff Mulvenon and posse of Yav-
apai, with a pocket full of warrants
(13) appeared on August 30th, and
in order to cover their movements tied
their horses in the brush, and de-
pended upon "shank's mare for tenn
porary locomotion. After skirting the
country for some time, without re-
suits, the posse returned to where
they had tied their animals, to find
themselves afoot, their horses having
been spirited away, during their alb
sence, by persons evidently upon the
track of the sheriff and his posse. Of
course Mulvenon was not well pleased
with the outlook, prospect of pat
ronizing foot and walkers line and
as a consequence he declared he
would return, prepared to stay until
he had accomplished his mission,
which means war, as the offenders
named in the warrants and their
friends will not "give it up So" but
endeavor to hold the officers of the
law at more than arms length as long
as it is possible to do SO.
Old man Blevins, who for SO long a
time was missing and alleged to have
been killed by the Tewksbury party,

Wong June Was Lucky
Winner Of Elks' Auto

Wong June, owner and operator of
Flagstaff's Chinese laundry got the
Essex sedan given away by the local
Elks lodge at its fifth annual Labor
day picnic and since has been wearing
broad smile.
The picnic was most successful. Of
ficers Of the lodge who had charge Of
the affair are more than satisfied
with the number of people more than
50O-who turned out to spend the aft
ernoon and evening beneath the pines
at Lake Mary. In the evening the
dance hall was crowded to the doors.
Financial returns have not been ascer-
tanned, but those in charge are opti-
mistic that the affair was d success
from that standpoint.
No accidents occurred to mar activ-
tiles and with the exception of little
rain the proverbial "good time was
had by all.

EASTERN GANG AND GIRLS
ARE CAUGHT AT YUMA

An alleged New York gangster,
wanted in Pennsylvania for Jail
breaking; a male companion and two
women were in the county Jail at
Yuma Tuesday while an eastern Of
ficer is enroute to return them.
Those under arrest are Herbert
Wiser, 25, said to be a former New
York gangster, who is wanted at
Smithport, Pa, where he is serving a
term for assault, Wayne johnson, 18,
Mildred Marsh and Mrs. Wayne john
son.
That Pennsylvania authorities want
Johnson badly is indicated by the fact
that he was trailed after his escape
on August 10 to Oklahoma City by a
detective. There the party succeeded
in eluding the officer.
The officer next picked up the trail
when a telegram was sent Johnson

vinces the fearful that revolution is
all they ever thought it--not a strike
for freedom of an oppressed class,
but a destructive, disastrous scheme,
and the product of a soulless intellect.
Dream City and Burrows.
In spite Of all this, every class
conscious worker, every person who
likes a good movie and every one
with real interest in art should see
this picture. The startingly, beauti-
full dream city above ground elected
spontaneous applause from hard
boiled New York audience. The
standardized tenements below ground,
the stupendous, pitiless machines
which control everything-all are the
product of an unusual imagination,
with remarkable technique of pro-
duction.
The many devices by which Master
man watches over his workers and
the complete naturalization of his
whole system is almost inconceivable.
As for acting, Brigitte Helm in the
role of the two Marys, stands way
above all the others. Mary was a
quiet, sweet virgin, reminiscent of
the Modanna. The mechanical be-
ing was lewd, bold and excitable. And
altho the producers make of the pic
ture a piece of obvious bourgeois
propaganda, there is much in its
syrnbolical, realistic setting from
which a real revolutionist may draw
much value.

" DRAMA IN
Yiddish Jazz
New Work by Ossip Dymow Resembles Lawson's
Loud Speaker"
Reviewed By A. B. MAGIL

The jazz play has come TO Second
Avenue. The jazz rhythm has
learned to talk in Yiddish, dance in
Yiddish, wisecrack in Yiddish. A
boisterous, harum-skarum play,
called rather systematically Human
Dust" is being produced by Maurice
Schwartz at his Yiddish Art Theatre.
1t is the latest work Of 0ssip Dy-
NOW, who has ben writing plays and
short stories for the past twenty-five
years and is old enough to know
better than to behave in this brash,
nose-thumbing fashion. He has
simply thrown dignity to the winds
and written something that is
speedy, laughing and impudent.
The jazz blare, the jazz inanity,
the jazz pathos-inl Yiddish-On
Second Avenuel
Human Dust" belongs with
John Howard Lawson's process
sional" and cloud Speaker" 1t is
an attempt to express the American
scene in simple, dynamic terms-the
terms of the animated cartoon. It
is jazz made visual and kinetic, dis
pensing with melancholy, meditation,
analysis, Interpretation and all the
other austere, complex approaches
toward tangible simplicities. In
plays like loud Speaker" and "Hu-
man Dust" the externals of our life
are generalized and expressed riot
ously, with the vehement precision
of the machine age. They go far
toward the creation of a new dram
attic genre, in which a completely
conventionalized, banal plot forms
the skeleton for syncopated varia-
lions with saxophonic laughter.
More Tabloid Drama.
The story of Human Dust" is
thoroughly tabloid. Offhand ] don't
remember the details, but they can
be found in any issue of the Graphic.
This onventionalzation of plot is
an important development Ga flash
back to the old folk drama?), since
it gives the author complete free
dom for manipulating his materials
as he pleases and at the same time
becomes travesty on itself.
Ossip Dymow has written his play
with broad, splashing, boisterous
strokes. Considering that he is a
foreigner" his feel for American
city life is uncanny. The play
Charlestons and Black Bottoms
breathlessly through three dizzy acts
and eleven lopsided seenes-and the
lines are genuinely funny. Human
Dust" may be said TO have hero
and a heroine just as newspaper
story has its gaudy protagonists,
but essentially, by its technique and
it's ultimate effect, it marks a
definite step toward mass drama.
Maurice Schwartz has directed the
play shrewdly and joyously and, with
Celia Adler and Bina Abramowitz,
carries off the chief acting honors.
The rest of the cast, however, does
clever and spirited work.
