Rabbits Curio Store
To Have New Location

The curio department of Babbitt
Brothers Trading company will be
moved to the building which was for
merly occupied by Griff's Cafe just
as soon as the necessary alterations
can be made.
The building in which Richard Grif-
fifth operated his cafe was gutted by
fire several weeks ago and with the
announcement from Mr.. Griffith that
he intended to retire from the restau-
rant business, plans were made by the
Babbitt company to place their curio
store in the building.
Workmen have been busy Of late
tearing out the floor and rafters and
replacing them with new materials.
A hardwood floor is to be laid over
the sub-flooring and new front put
in the building. Interior decorations
in keeping with curio store will also
be made.
At present the curio store is located
with the drug store in one section of
the Babbitt building. Both depart
ments have been crowded for proper
display space but with the moving of
the curio store to new location both
departments, will have chance to
branch out.

Prominent Moose
Here November I

E. A. Kallen of Mooseheart, Illinois,
deputy supreme secretary of the Loyal
Order of Moose, is visiting the local
lodge of the order on Tuesday night,
November 8.
The Loyal Order of Moose, a fra
ternity of loyalty and service, made up
of 100000 men and women distributed
in $500 units throughout the civilized
world, has built an enviable record
of loyalty and service in the twenty
one years of its history, and has at
tracted the attention of the humani-
tartan world to its manner of caring
for dependent children and old folks.
AT Mooseheart, Illinois, "The City
of Childhood" 1850 boys and girls are
being trained in hand and heart and
mind in loyalty to God, home and
country, and service to their fellow
men, while at Moosehaven, in Florida,
the City of Opportunity" the lessons
of loyalty and service are being daily
practiced in the care Of ITS aged, de-
pendent men and women of the order,
while scattered throughout many com
munities in the United States 1867
men, women and children are receiv-
ing service through the Mooseheart-
Moosehaven extension service, making
an army of over $500 dependents, the
responsibility for whose care has been
lifted from the citizens and taxpayers
all over the land.
Col John G. Eager of Phoenix, dep
uty grand regent, will also be present.
This will be an open meeting to
which the public is invited.

ShOlU Up for HOnOrs
In Big Buck Contest

Deputy Sheriff Art Vandevier and
party returned from the Kaibab for
est Friday night with three nice
bucks weighing III. 174 and 130.
Those in the party besides Deputy
Vandevier were Harry Richwine,
Judge n. G. Nolan and E. M. Badger.
Vandevier drove his Dodge truck to
the Kaibab and because of the crowd
ed conditions on the return, Mr.. Rich
wine remained over and started to re-
turn with his deer with Under-sheriff
Mckinney, who had been on official
business to Fredonia. A cave-in on
the dugway at Lees Ferry caused a
16-hour delay to the sheriff's car and
because Of his desire not to have his
deer spoil he gave it to the Johnson
boys at the ferry.
Fred Moore, of the Breen Drug COM
pany, brought fine 130 pound buck
out of Barney pasture Sunday. Joe
Schmidt and Earl Parson, also in the
party, returned empty handed.

in as a sportsman's prize and the

We nave heard of a couple instances
this season where a hunter has
brought down two turkeys with one
shot, but a local boy decided to go this

ing last week he shot into bunch Of
turkeys and brought down three with
one shot. He has requested that his
name be kept quiet as he broke the
law. There are lot of hunters we
know of that would gladly break the

Chitwood, died Sunday morning at the
family residence, 220 N. Kendrick, at
six o'clock after a lingering illness.
Mrs. Chitwood came to Flagstaff five
wears ago for her health, which for
time improved, but eighteen months
ago it failed so that she was confined
to her home and six months ago she
became bedfast. Her 'cheerfulness
and interest in life were an inspira
ton to her ministering family and
friends. She leaves her husband,
Charles Chitwood, night hostler at the
Arizona Lumber & Timber company
engine house, and two daughters,
Dorothy, IL, and Myrna Rachel, 4.
The funeral was held Tuesday morn

HIRAM CLUB HAS COLLEGE
DAY AT MEETING FRIDAY

This weeks Hiram club meeting
swung off with almost full house,
under direction of "Speed" Campbell
as chairman of the day. Speeds pro-
gram was not only interesting and
instructive but refreshing as well, and
the last named quality shone out
brightly.
The first number presented was
reading by Miss Klonda Lynn, college
instructor in elocution and expression.
The reading about the princess who
had golden hair and dark dreamy eyes
and wanted blue roses is one that can
be listened to with profit by any and
all men and no doubt typifies prac-
tice as old as Adam and yet pro-
cedure never too old to use. Miss
Lynn's second number rendered in
realistic fashion, illustrated how even
stop sergeant" in everyday life can
sometimes innocently deceive those
who should know better. The impor
tance of Miss Lynn's position on the
college staff can hardly be too highly
rated when you stop to think that the
one essential qualification of a teach
er is expression. Miss Lynn's pres
ence at the college should produce
wonders on our blossoming young
teachers-to-be
Dean Tom O. Bellwood spoke about
the big day at the college, "home-com-
ing day" He told what arrangements
had been made for the occasion. He
also expressed the hope that in COM
ing years the event might develop
into not only homecoming for the col
lege but that it could also be the COM
munity of Flagstaff's homecoming
day each year. BY combining the two,
great profit and good results would
come to both college and town.
Hoddy Stevens, captain of the foot
ball squad, spoke briefly concerning
the prospects for a big game in Sat
urday's contest with Tempe college.
That the club was back of him was
made more than evident.
The club made the acquaintance of
Coach R. H. Lavik, who was present
and spoke on the unique connection
between psychology and football play
ing, unrelated as the two subjects

National Business WOna0n's Magazine

store. Her ambition was eto study
law, but her mother was opposed to
this wish. So, after college, Miss Cos
tigation worked in an office for $4 a
week. Before long she was promoted
to the billing and order department.
Her two and half years with this
concern were valuable experience.
San Antonio, Texas, was the next
town conquered. Her first success
was in the real estate and insurance
department of bank. Later she was
cashier and bookkeeper for realty
company. During four summers
spent in Detroit, Miss Costigan was
assistant to the county collector.
When she definitely returned to De-
troit she accepted the position of both
bookkeeper and cashier with real
estate company. In few months she
was elected secretary and treasurer.
The added responsibility and ceaseless
attention to business began to take its
toll of health. After year of re-
cuperating in California, she returned
to Detroit and opened her own real
estate office. She handled apartment
houses and formed stock companies
for buying and selling them.
Ten years ago she left Michigan for
Flagstaff at the request of her BROTH
er, who was in poor health and needed
assistance in the management OF his
theater. Miss Costigan, thorough as
ever, learned how to run motion pic
ture machine and became a licensed
operator.
When her brother died four years
later, Miss Costigan was left in
charge of the theatre and three small
nephews. The nephews and the the
atre thrived under her care.
Always ambitious and progressive,
she sponsored and financed the first
beauty shop in Flagstaff, which she
sold at a profit. Too, she opened
flower store, which she sold later to a
friend.
The radio broadcasting station was
erected two years ago. Now Miss
Costigan is interested in the modern
theater she is planning to build on the
property across the street from her
present location. The theater will
have seating capacity of one thou
sand; though operated with her other
theater, it will be used for longer
runs.
Among her other activities are
those of membership in the Chamber
of Commerce, the Woman's club, and
our Federation. Miss Costigan is a
charter member of our Flagstaff
Business and Professional Women's
club.

STATE GAME ASSN.
HOLDS IMPORTANT
CONVENTION HERE

The fifth annual convention of the
Arizona Game Protective association
was held on Friday, October 21, with
a good attendance of visiting dele
gates as well as a number of Flag
staff game enthusiasts present. The
meeting developed the need of two
particular things at this time: an in
crease in the number of locals in Ari-
zona and doubling in the member
ship. Through this increase in mem
bership, the sportsmen of the state
will prove to be, through proper or
ganization, strong body of men who
will receive attention in their de-
mands for proper laws, efficient en-
forcement and well balanced force
of deputy game wardens.
Charles Preobstel, chairman of the
New Mexico state game commission,
was the guest of honor and gave two
interesting talks on the work being
done in New Mexico, one talk at the
convention and the other at the BAN
quet held Friday evening. Mr.. Proeb-
stel brought out that New Mexico has
been fighting for twelve years to ac-
complish the same things that Arl-
zona is striving for at the present
time. They have finally divorced the
game department from politics and
the immediate effect has been ex-
tremely constructive.
M. E. Musgraves, predatory animal
destroyer, gave summary OF the
work of his department which during
the past ten years has shown over 500
mountain lions killed in Arizona as
well as hundreds of other lesser pre-
datory animals. Considering the es-
tablished fact that one lion will kill
each year between II and 80 deer, the
saving to Arizona is self evident.
Among the resolutions passed an
important one was to Governor Hunt
requesting him to include needed
game legislation in any special call of
the present state legislature.
The need for publicity in Arizona is
recognized and another resolution was
passed asking P. G. Spilsbury, presl-
dent of the Arizona Industrial Con
gress. to permit the publicity commit
tee of the Arizona Game Protective
association to furnish him for publica-
tion in the pamphlets and circulars
distributed by his organization lntor-
nation on game and fish matters. The
business men of Arizona have not as
yet come to an appreciation or the
asset that exists in better hunting and
increased fishing. In New Mexico
they have proven that the total value
of the sheep and cattle industries
there is equalled by the value OF the
game and fish to the state. The same
conclusions are in order as to Arizona
The next convention of the associa-
ton will be held in Phoenix in 1928
presumably around the last OF Sep
tember. The officers elected for the
ensuing year are: President, Hon
Fred Sutter, Bisbee; vice presidents
north, T. E. Mccullough, Flagstaff
central, Perry Ling, Jerome; south
Fred Winn, Tucson; secretary-treas
urer to be appointed by the president
The banquet given by the Flagstaff
Game Protective association on Friday
evening brought out number OF IN.
terested local men who were rewarded
by having some valuable inside IN
formation given relative to Arizona's
game and fish needs. With increased
membership and new locals, this
movement is bound to eventually sue
ceed and right now is when support Is
required.

BY PHILIP MARTIN

TOMMY LoUGHRAN occupies a
unique position in the boxing
world by reason of his recent vic
tory over ancient Mike McTigue.
Loughran is a popular man with
a donated" or unpopular title.
Here's how:
McTigue was awarded the title
of light-heavyweight champion
arbitrarily by the New York box
ing commission after Delaney's
retirement. The field is full of
good contenders, and the reason
for choosing McTigue above any
of the others must remain one OF
the mysteries that shroud the
strange ways of the cornish.
Loughran slapped Mikes ears
down, winning the crown. He is
therefore light-heavyweight cham
pion of. the world (pardon us,
New York;. Now the point is
Loughran really is a worthy fell
low, and to see him wearing the
title under a cloud is disappoint-
ing to his thousands of followers.
There seems to be quite a lot OF
politics entering into the New
York boxing commission appoint
ments. u
THERE are several heavyweight
= bouts in the oting that are
lulus when it comes to arousing
crowd interest, speculation and
debate. George Godfrey versus
P9olino is one IN particular, and
Tom Heeney versus Jack Sharkey
is another.
Godfrey and Paolino are rough,
rugged and tough They are ham
mer-and-tong types and judging
from past form, rush out at the
bell, arms failing, betting away
until somebody goes out.
Heeney and Sharkey are clever
boxers and the scientific fan
