INDIANS GO BACK HOME
AS "FINIS" is WRITTEN
TO lST TRIBAL REUNION

Coming at the time it did, so close
after the Fourth of July, the Indian
1nter-tribal celebration was as largely
attended as could have been hoped
Interest displayed by local people in
the celebration was splendid, business
houses generally closing Friday after
noon to let employees attend the con-
tests at City park. 1t was estimated
that at least 1000 visitors were in
town for the reunion.
The greatest attraction to which
townspeople looked forward to each
day was the equestrian parade.
The Indian and rodeo contests were
staged by doc" Pardee No espec-
laliy good time was made by any of
che contestants due to lack of space
at the grounds, but all of the events
were interesting even to those who
mad seen other rodeos. The Indian
contests especially commanded good
ihare of attention and applause. Dur
ng the last day steer got caught
n corral fence and broke its neck.
Two Indian squaws in exactly eight
minutes had the steer dressed and
ready for distribution among the In
dian families.
Camp '49, the night feature of the
Reunion, was well attended all three
nights.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY
WHEN SHOPPING
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
qanztn n Il nnqnqpA
20. 1922. HarIand II. Alien.)
CHOOSING LAUNDRY TUBS

Every laundress should, if possi-
pie, have three tubs, as this makes
for the greatest economy of time.
Where you cannot have stationary
tubs installed, portable galvanized
iron tubs are excellent to use, as they
give long service, are light to handle,
and do not rust. That is, they will
not rust as long as you are careful
that none Of the galvanized coating is
worn or scraped off. But galvanized
tubs do not hold the wringer unless
fitted with wooden cleats and clamped
to the washbench. Some of the heav-
ier tubs are provided with an attach
ment for holding the wringeF
Wooden tubs are practically things
Of the past, as they are clumsy and
heavy to handle and hard to care for.
They must be kept damp else they will
shrink and leak, aud yet water must,
not be allowed to stand in them, as
the best Of wood will warp and split
under such conditions. The practice
usually is to keep wooden tubs stored
in a cellar where moisture is more or
less constant; or even to keep a wet
sponge in the tub to prevent drying.
And then you have to remember that
constant moisture is apt to attract
reaches.
Fiber tubs are very Light, easy to
hahdle and to keep clean. but il you
get good quality they are more ex-
pensive than the other kinds. Fiber
tubs are made out Of wood pulp, mold
ed into shape and finished with high
luster, and as they are made in one
piece. there is no DANCE Of their leak
ing or falling apart.
OF course tubs come in many sizes.
The ordinary family laundry tub
should hold from l. to IS gallons, as
it will then be large enough to work
without splashing.
The height at which tubs are placed
is most important The top Of the tub
should come just to the end of the hip
A convenient height for woman five
feet six inches is to place the tubs
SO that the bottoms are about p
inches from the floor. A good rule
then is to raise the tubs one-half an
inch from the floor for each additional
inch in your height OF course these
ratios are only approximate, as habit,
length Of your arm and whether you
are short or long-waisted are all fac
tors to be considered

WEATHER FOIBLEs

Weather hit this county in variety
during this week. Up on the Peaks
Sunday, while it was as hot as usual
here in town, it showed few min
utes, much to the edification of num-
erous people who had picked that day
to scale the Peaks. Between Grand
Canyon and Maine on Monday auto
mobiles for some distance in the mid
die Of the day ran into hail that be-
fore it stopped covered the ground to
a depth Of three inches.
Flagstaff and much of the sur
rounding country for radius of so
miles had heavy rain Tuesday. 1t
hit here in the early afternoon and
dropped "a of an inch in a hurry.
Sunday was the hottest day in the
last seven, the mercury reaching 80.
The night before was the coolest-45.

VACATION SPOILED

Hon. R. L. Finch of Tempe, mem
Der Of the justly famous eighth legis-

Mormon Lake where he has been an

The governor felt he was enjoying his
vacation all too well while a lot of
poor fellows over the state needed
state money to help them out
Representative Finch was inclined
to think that while the special session
Of the legislature might provide a
means of paying off the big gasoline
bill, the means provided might not
suit the governor.

been working with the fire force at q
blaze near Fort Valley. AS he sat
down to rest there was big taran-
tula where he placed his hand. It BIZ
him on the fleshy part of his thumb.
Charles had forethought enough to
give himself first aid. He sterilized
his knife blade in burning ember
from the forest fire, cut cash
through the bite so that sufficient
blood flowed to wash out much Of the
poison. He was brought to the hos
pital where the wound was further
cauterized and the effect of the poi
son neutralized. Charles was dis
missed Tuesday morning and returned
to his duties as fire guard at Fort

THAT GAS CUT

Before the citizens get too enthusiastic over
the order for the public service commission to
reduce gas rates some organized body should
take the trouble to review the facts on which
this reduction is ordered.
Whatever reduction is made can be
credited to The Times, which some weeks ago
called attention to the swollen income of the
gas company.
This newspaper, and no other, called pub
lie attention to the fact that the gas company
operates under a contract to atssome time turn
over its properties to municipal control and
ownership when its certificate holders shall
have received the face value of their invest
ment and 10 per cent a year as interest.
The gas company has been making rich
profits in the past few years.
The public service commission officially
knows what the profits were for the year 1928.
But that body, although it had ordered re-
duction in rates, says that it has received no re-
port of the finances of the company for the
year 1926
Under the circumstances, the rate reduc-
ton will bear scrutiny and the closest in
vestigation.
The Lower House in the General As
sembly just closed went on record as demand
ing the removal of all the present commits
sioners That body denounced them, by infer
ence, as failing to represent public interest and
demanded that Governor jackson find success
sors who would have some sympathy with pub
lie interest.
Any decision that this body makes, under
such an Indictment, is open to suspicion and it
may be added that this particular order at this
particular time is open to more than the or
binary amount of suspicion that attaches to all
it's orders
The annual report Of this company, under
the law, must be filed before March 10.
When that report is filed, the public may
be in better position to know whether this re-
duction of rates is just, both to the public and
the company, or is an inspired cut at this
5 time to accomplish some other purpose.
This reduction may be too creator en-
tirely too small.
The public is willing to pay fair rates.
The company must not be allowed to collect
more than just charge.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-03-08

why keep insisting when we know his presence is
the one thing that keeps the revolution going?
Why keep pouring marines into Nicaragua on
the pretext that American interests endangered
by the war when the war itself can be stoppd any
day we wish to stop it?
The Nicaraguan episode, shabby as it has been
from the beginning, has resolved itself much
into a question of saving the face Of our Latin
American diplomacy But as that face is so badly
damaged that it will never look the same, even if
saved, why bother particularly since it's salvation
must be at the price of more bloodshed?

Negroes and Voting

L. A. Nixon, an FL Paso Negro,
was not allowed to vote in a Dem.
ocratic primary.
Thousands more might have been
denied the same privilege, except
that they knew better than to ask it.
Ever since primaries were held in
Texas the Democratic party has
pro ceeded on the assumption that il
could exclude whom it pleased, and
has written that assumption into the
law of the State.
Nixon was not satisfied with his
treatment nor the ground on which
it was based, so he hired a lawyer,
Or other people hired one for him,
and went to court
The Supreme Court has just
handed down a decision which says
in effect that primaries are subject
to the Federal Constitution, and
that no State can give a political
party the right to bar citizens in
violation Of the Constitution.
If this decision proves effective, il
will upset the political structure OF
the South, which is based on the idea
that the Democratic party can keer
itself lily white.
