OFFICER INPERSONATOR
Is SOUGHT BY SHERIFF

John o. Parsons and his men are
on the lookout for man who is
said to be impersonating deputy
sheriff here in Flagstaff. Complaints
have come to the sheriff's office
that the impersonator is notifying
car owners that they must secure
their 1927 license plates Immediately
or stand the possibility of arrest.
whereas county officials have given
the latter until February Is before
any action will be taken.
1t is thought that the man is some
crank who has drifted into the COM
munity as the description does not
seem to fit anyone locally. Sheriff
Parsons asks that anyone having
contact with such a person notify
his office Immediately and secure an
accurate description Of the man.

ALL SIX WERE TO BE HANGED
STATE PRISON

CHICAGO, March. 12-Six desper-
ate convicts, under death sentences
for murder in the state prison break
year ago, made new drive for
liberty from the county jail at Joliet,
H. early today, with the aid of
smuggled saws ard guns. Hours later
five men lay wounded, two seriously
and only one convict was at large.
at a cost of $500 to pull the
Job, three Of the convicts, Mexicans,
fled to Chicago where two of them
were recaptured after a gun fight
with policemen. Meanwhile, their
three American companions were be-
sieged in the Joliet Jail.
The confession of Charles Duchow-
ski, one of the six, that $1,000 was
provided for the dash for liberty,
led to determine by what connivance,
the prisoners obtained the guns and
saws.

AUTO OPERATORS MUST
HAVE NEW LICENSE CARDS


All persons who operate an auto
mobile will have to get new operators
licenses, was the decision Of the
State Road Commission in recent
meeting. The meeting, which also
fixed the time limit for the use Of old
automobile plates permitted after the
fire which destroyed the commits
sion's offices, resulted in the follow
ing announcement.
This requirement viii not be Eff
feetive Immediately, but beginning
March 25 the commission will require
all persons holding operators licen-
ses to send in new applications. If
the old cars accompany the appli-
cations new ones will be mailed
without charge, but if the application
is not accompanied by the old license
the usual fee Of ST. will be necessary.
Application blanks will be distrib-
uted through the state by automobile
dealers, automobile clubs and other
agencies to whom the commission
viii send supplies Of blanks. The
necessity Of reestablishing records
Of the holders Of operators licenses
was given as the reason for this re-
quirement.
The announcement as to automo-
bile plates declares that after March
Is all cars must display proper tags.
It points out that the extension OF 10
days in the use of 1926 plates or
dealers plates was intended only for
those whose applications for new
titles and plates were lost in the
fire but that misunderstanding re-
suited in granting this extension, in
effect to all automobile owners. In
fairness to citizens the Commission
decided this privilege would hold
good within the ten day period end
ing Tuesday.

Cooperative Marketing
Cooperative marketing is the bus
mess like way for farmers to market
their produce.
1t does much more than cut out the
middle mans expenses. In fact that
is the least part Of it. By marketing
farm products comparatively, farmers
are paid according to quality, grade
and merit of the commodity sold.
Therefore it is easy for US all to see
that this type Of marketing encour-
ages the production Of a better quail
ity product, also Standardization,
grading, packing, etc. which is neces-
sary if we are going to be successful
in supplying our home markets. Why,
because the wholesaler and retailer
can buy the same farm commodities
that we are producing here, from
other agricultural regions who are in
position to furnish graded, standard
lied products.
Looking at agriculture in period
of years, we must meet this competi-
ton. On the other hand if we fail to
do this important service somebody
else will, and naturally supply our
markets. The more of this service
you do the less the margin is between
you what consumer has to pay and
what you receive for a given product.
Still other advantages: you can keep
poor quality and Gull products off the
market by practicing this method and
market in a more nearly orderly fash
ion, all Of which will tend to hold the
price level Of given commodity
steady.
Another outstanding factor of CO.
operative associations is the fact that
the consumers demand is carried di-
rect back to you through the manage
ment, also the amount you receive for
your products, thus enabling you 20
adjust your production to market de-
mands.
Cooperative marketing cannot pre-
vent lisses, due to improper care and
management on the farm. 1t cannot
Plan your crop rotations, nor deter
mine your soil requirements to pro-
duce good crops, and compel you to
carry them out. Cooperative asso-
Citations are not in business to make
money, but to render service for
the farmers the most economical way.
If, however, there is surplus if saw
ings they are proportioned out to
members of the association. They
are owned, controlled and operated
by the farmers for the farmers in
terest.

THE n. E. A. AT DALLAS

Charleston, March 9th.-The Divi- !
sion Of Superintendent Of the Nat
ional Education Association convened
at Dallas, Texas, Saturday February
the 26th, and continued in session un-
til Thursday, March the Srd.
The writer in company with others
left Charleston, Thursday noon, Feb
ruary oath and arrived in Dallas Sat
urday morning about eight o'clock.
Superintendent Condor of the Gin
cinnati schools, President of the AS
soeiation, made the opening address
in the exhibition hall of Fair Park
Auditorium. President Condor was
presented with gavel made by the
students in manual training in the
Dallas schools, from the wood of an
old oak under which, General Sam
Houston and his Texas soldiers
fought in the battle of San Jacinto,
where Texas independence from Mex
leo was won. 1t was related in the
presentation speech that Cincinnati
had presented the struggling Teqans
with two cannons which were used
against the Mexicans in the war for
independence. The gavel was to be
taken back to Cincinnati by Superin-
tendent Condor as token of last
ing appreciation for such assistance.
Governor Dan Moody, the thirty
three-old Governor Of Texas ard
Mayor Baylock of Dallas made the
welcome addresses. "Texas opened
her arms and embraced the aristo-
carey of the educational world upon
her warm heart" in the language of
the Dallas News.
The Governor stated that ninety
one years ago there gathered a group
at Old Washington on the Brazos and
undertook to set up an independent
government. One of the reasons for
seeking an independent government
was because the Mexican government
was not providing for the education
of the youth of the country. "It is
an axiom that free government de-
ponds upon educated men and wo-
men" the Governor said. He invited
US to watch the Texas schools grow
in the next ten years. The Texas
people want to give their boys and
girls an education that extends be-
yond the rural schools. eve want all
to get at least a high school educa-
ton" declared the young Governor,
"and we want all to have an equal
educational opportunity
We think the above statements ut
tered by the Texas Governor consti-
tuition a very worthy ambition for US
West Virginians.
The Mayor stated he had lived in
Texas for seventy-five years. Forty
years of which he had had lived in
Dallas. We were told the city had
population of near 275,000.
