FLAG SHOULD FLY
ON BUTTE EVERY
DAY, CLAIM HERE
Agitation to Keep Old Glory Afloat
On the Butte Every Day Started
by Citizens and Organizations of
Tempe and Vicinity.

Agitation for resumption of the
practice of flying Old Glory on the
flagstaff topping Tempe Butte is
now taking form in Tempe and
vicinity. Many persons interviewed,
including city officials, civic leaders
and prominent members of William
Bloys Post No. 2, American Legion,
agree that a flag should be dis
played on top of the butte, but all
appear more or less at loss as to
whether it would be best for the
city to buy the flags or whether it
would be best to raise money by
popular subscription for the pur-
pose.
It was suggested by some that the
flag could be placed on the summit
and allowed to remain until tattered.
Those in favor of this course said
that the light was originally placed
ON the flagstaff in order that all
might see the flag proudly waving
at night over Tempe and vicinity.
Some ex-service men, including
several members of the local Amer
lean Legion post, said that it was
against the traditional uses of the
American flag to let it remain
aloft after sundown-that the flag
should be hoisted at sunrise and
taken down with the sun.
Some residents who have had ex-
perience in raising money here for
the purpose Of maintaining flag
on the butte said this would neces-
state employment of man for the
purpose of raising and lowering the
flag and that this would be an ex-
pense that the city might not wish
to assume and that would possibly
be hard to support by popular sub
scription.
Members of the American Legion
pointed out the advantage Tempe
has over other towns and cities in
having a small mountain in its
backyard on which the colors may
be raised to such heights as to
make them visible for miles and the
subject of favorable comment from
all who view this unusual sight.
These men assert that the sight of
an American flag on the butte is a
mark of patriotism that will remain
in the memory of all who see it
and that it will make them respect
the citizens of the town patriotic
enough to keep flag afloat on the
top of a mountain.
The town now owns one flag, and
it is raised on the butte on holl-
days and other days of celebration
observed here.
The first flagstaff was erected
on the butte in 1898 during the
Spanish-American war, according to
old residents here. Flags were
placed on this staff at various
times. The Tempe high school stu
dents placed a new flag on the
butte when the new high school
building was completed and occu-
pied in 1910.
The present flagstaff was erected
in 1917 during the world war. Dur
ing the world war a flag was on
the staff night and day, old resi-
dents said when interviewed yes
terday.
Action on the question as to
whether or not it is advisable to
put flag on the butte and whether
or not it should be taken down at
night and raised at sunrise is ex-
pected soon from the American Le-
gion and the various civic bodies.

of disappointed Florida land seekers,
the two printers spent several
months travelling leisurely through
the Old South. They paused under
magnolia trees by bayous encircled
with overhanging messy trees and

They turned out work for ambi-

Beside swamps filled with croaking
bullfrogs and swarming with mos

booming oil towns, where adven-
turers in their mad rush for the
wealth of the oil workers and tender
feet were attracted by the advantage
of ordering stationery from a travel
ing shop that paused in front of
their doors and was ready imme-
diately to deliver the finished prod

piled snow up to a depth of II
inches at the head of the Kaibab

 To appreciate fully its grandeur, one may we'll drive into the coun- try away from the glare of. artificial lights. Viewed under the best con- ditions. as from a mountain top or in the clear skies of Arizona if is a sight unsurpassed by any earthly scenery.
 The main features of the Milky Way are readily observed without a telescope. l. follows a. single course from the northeast horizon up to the zenith.

New Spanish Hotel
 Nestles in Clouds

Avila, Spain, Sept 80 GPl-One Of the most picturesque regions of Spain Is being opened to tourists through the efforts of the royal commissioner of tours, who has had erected in the Gredos range of mountains a hostelry which will be one of the highest in Europe.
 The hotel has been built at a height of over $500 feet, in the midst of peaks attaining an alti- tude of s,695 feet and surrounded by forests of pines. From some points view may be had for over 70 miles across the undulating planes of the two Castles, rivalling in beauty many parts of Switzer- land.
 The Gredos range hitherto has been little visited owing to its in- accessibility, but government tour ist authorities are opening up in every region of Spain the pic turesque health resorts. until now attainable only with great physical effort.

SPURNED BY. GIRL, HERMIT 50 YEARS
EDghshman Has Turned Sour ,,. on Whole World

Great Garfield, England, Sept. 30. P-In q hermit's rural fortress near this little EssAx town lives James Mason. 70 years old, who for 90 years has hid himself from the eyes Of men. -
 When he was a youth of 20, his sweetheart married another man, and Mason fled Into seclusion to hide his inconsolable sorrow. For 50 years he has not looked upon the. face of a woman.
 The woman who Tilted Mason still lives and this year celebrated her golden wedding anniversary.
 Mason's brother Thomas. two years younger than the recluse, de- voted himself to the care Of James and throughout the five decades has been his sole attendant and companion.
 Only three times. during this half century Of exile has James Mason been seen by men other than tt brother. and these were all within the past few months. Once the old man, tortured by. rheumatism and a threat Of paraly sis feared he vas nearing death. He refused to be seen by a physi'- clan, but summoned a clergyman for a secret conference.
 Again recently the hermit ap. piled for an old age pension, and to obtain this dole he submitted to an interview by a pensions officer. At first he declined to receive the official, but his innreasing infirmity and the growing poverty of the aging pair forced him to break his rule.
 4 neFspaperman who sought to visit Mason on the fiftieth anniver- sary of his self-imprisonment failed to gain admittance. but saw the face of the graybeard through a window.
 When the youth made his VOW to abandon human society, he and his brother bought two acres of farm land and proceeded to transfer 1t into stronghold of complete pri- vacy. Bristling hedges and d cor rugated iron fence guard the bor- dera Would-be intruders have en- countered barbed wire barriers and tunnels with trap doors to defeat their curiosity or their humanita- rian impulses.
 The hermit himself lives Tn a small hut Nanked by a jungle of thorny bushes and thistles. During his lifetime of isolation he has read cnly the Bible and copies of a reli- gious journal which the faithful brother has brought.
