FLAGSTAFF CLAY BIRD
DEVOTEES FELL HARD

It was an off day Sunday for the
Flagstaff Gun club, each shooter
having trachoma that prevented him
seeing the targets, halitosis that
scared them faster away and St. Vitus
dance that made his trigger finger
erratic. As one old reliable after
another stepped up and fell down,
the only hope left in the breasts of
the bunch was that the Jerome out
fit, against whom we were paired in
the Uncle Dud intermountain states

afflicted with the heebie-j -jeebies
than we were.
But not so! The hillside hangers

LOCAL CREDIT BUREAU
IS READY FOR BUSINESS

On account of the extreme import
ance which is attached to credit
business by the local merchants and
business people, the Flagstaff Credit
association was officially launched
this week with 18 firms and individ-
uals participating. The Chamber of
Commerce will supervise the work Of
this association, issuing weekly cred
it reports to all members and giving
out credit information at all times.
This association will become a
member of the Arizona State Credit
association and will derive consider
able benefit from the information
supplied by the "a member organiza-
tions throughout the state. The Flag
staff association will also affiliate
with the National Credit Mems as
sociation.
When on the coast during the holi-
days, Miss Margaret K. Stewart, sec
retary Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce, secured valuable information
from the Fresno Credit Mems asso-
citation, which largely will be applied
to Flagstaff problems. Information
has also been secured from various
associations in Arizona.
w. H. Switzer is the chairman of
this credit association and is assisted
by a committee Of four prominent
business men of this city. The Credit
bureau is now compiling detailed
credit information of local nature

TWO COLLEGE BASKETBALL
SQUADS A TOURING WENT

Flagstaff Teachers college varsity
and freshman basketball teams left
Wednesday noon for their first bas-
ketball touring schedule-the varsity
squad to the southern part of the
state, to meet Tempe Teachers col
lege and Phoenix Junior college on
January 13 and IA. The freshmen
are making a loop of the northern
part of the state. to play the high
school teams of Winslow, st. Johns
and Snowflake on January IL, 13 and
Ia. Hoddy Stevens, one of the vet
eran college cabasa artists, is acting
as mentor of the yearling squad. r.
G. Osborn, faculty chairman OF ath-
letics, accompanied them.
Last year the varsity squad was
barely nosed out in the last five min
utes of play by the Tempe team but
Phoenix Junior college received neat
drubbing by Flagstaff.
Coach E. H. Lynch has been putting
the boys through hard grind the
past two weeks to condition them for
these games and it is believed they
will give a tough account of them
selves in their initial conference ap-
pearance.
Jack Wilson of Blsbee, Cy Schlan-
sky of Miami and Tex Patton of Dal-
las, Texas, have been working to-
gether for the forward positions. Det-
loft, another last years letterman has
practically cinched the pivot position.
Buddy Kieren of Miami and Les Nc
Clure, who played with Montezuma
college five last season, have shown
up well in practice and will probably
be started out on the first string.
Jarvis, Brittian, Shumway and Glib
bons have shown up to advantage in
regular workouts and will probably
see action in these games.

"For many years there has been a
controversy between the county and
certain Of the county officers con-
corning excess fees, which the county
claims should be paid into the coun-
ty. More than a year ago at the sug-
gestion ot Judge Cunningham, the
court authorized the employment Of
sufficient force In the auditors Of
flee TO make a detailed and accurate
audit OF these fee accounts with the
various officers. This work has been
partially completed, and last week
there was laid on my desk, the final
report Of the auditor on this fee a.
count.
"Under a recent ruling OF the at
torney general, che work or procuring
this account Is properly that az the

suits for the collection fee OF nc
counts does not belong to the county
attorneys office. This must be pro-
vided by a special contract with the

given TO the county attorney, under
