Sun Shines Bright
For Sam Johnson

Our old friend Sam Johnson, who
has been expatriated from Flagstaff
for some years, now living at Urban
cite, Arkansas, writes The Sun:
Enclosed please find check for
$500 to keep the "Coconino SUM- shin
ing in our home through 1927. We
sure can't do without it. Several of
our Xmas cards from friends in Flag
staff bore this inscription: "You won't
know Flagstaff if you don't come
soon." We answered them By saying
We realize that by reading the
'Coconino Sum" We note with pleas
ure the numerous improvements made
there in the past year; the many sub
stantial buildings that have gone uD
and the change from a town to a city
shows that the old friends who still
survive are making the "Old Home
Town" one to be more than proud of.
The Call of the West" is ever with
US and it is hard to resist at times,
but we have our home here and it be-
ing a farm, it keeps one busy the
most of the time. I raised good
tomato and hay crop last year and
fattened carload Of nice white-faced
steers, took them to the st. Louis
market in December and did well with
them.
We have had an unusual lot of rain
this winter, but the new year has been
beautiful, sunshine every day and no
rain and we certainly enjoy it very
much and are also enjoying good
health.
Give all my old friends my best re-
CARDS; the same to you and yours and
here's hoping 1927 will be a great
year of prosperity for the Coconino
Sun and Flagstaff.
Sincerely, your friend,
SAM JOHNSON.

were sitting on one of the benches
that line Wiltshire boulevard where it
bisects the Old Soldiers Home at
Sawtelle, watching the never-ending
flow of traffic. Suddenly, with q
bang, a tire went flat not very far
from where they were sitting and a
young and pretty damsel promptly
started making tire change.
The old soldiers looked her over
with admiration. Memories stirred IN
their shriveled old hearts. Finally
one remarked:
BILL, do you remember the first
girl you ever kissed 4"
Bill pondered for a few minutes,
and then said:
