BELIEVE 1T OR NOT

The Examiner has run across a
bit of news that will have to be
accepted as a rumor until further
details are released. We have it
from what is considered a reliable
source that the purity of the water
supplied this town has attracted
the attention of a well known con-
Germ that manufactures soda pop
in large quantities, and that the
firm has Investigated conditions
here as to the location as dis
tributing center. Owing to the fact
that the selection of a site for the
factory is under consideration, def
mite news is withheld, but it is
known that nothing will be done
in regard to plant construction un-
til early this fall

ANOTHER BLOW
At WHISKEY

Phoenix, AriZ., June 20.-Like the
old formula Of throwing salt on a
birds tail in order to catch it, the
time honored alibi for carrying a
"drab of whiskey agin a snake
bite" has been exploded here.
Authorities OF the Arizona Health
Department have given the lie to
the whiskey antidote for snake
bites. although they admit the
liquor nowadays is reported potent
enough to counteract almost any
thing.
Rather than toss down a snifter
Of whiskey when bitten by snake,
the victim will do well first to
apply a tourniquet a few inches
above the wound 1t should not be
bound to tightly and is only intend
ed to delay absorption Of the pol
son in circulation.
Should the victim have an anti
venOmous serum along, he should
read instructions and act accord
ingly. Speed is not vital, but car
Ii Odb iiAOIA dSIAOllo W ll1C iCIUCl
is vital. Snake yenoms act slowly
If no serum is available, incision
and suction are required. Make a
cross cut incision at each fang
mark, using sharp, clean knife.
Cut thru the skin to the depth of
one quarter inch and one half inch
long. Next apply suction to the
wound by breast pump If available,
or with the mouth
Best of all, however, is-don't
pick up or reach for an object on
the ground before first looking care
fully for snakes. A snake reseuts
anything being suddenly poked at
It and is liable to make swift re-
prisal in form Of bite, authorities
say.

DELIGHTED, /
ASSURE YOU

Ever since DR.. v. E. Powley
moved his family from Proenix and
took the ]. B. Boor residence on
Harding avenue, for an office and
residence, an Examiner reporter
has been trying to grab a few min
utes OF his time to find out what h,
thinks about Coolidge and its pres
ent and future. Knowing that the
doctor is man Of wide experience
and has been looking over the west
for a location that looked like it
had something back of it, we
thought the fact that he selected
this town might mean something
Tuesday an office seeker had the
doctor Gagged for a few minutes and
we awaited our opportunity. He
has been so busy making calls
here and there that it was hard to
butt in on his time, and the only
thing sick about the reporter was
his pocket book and it wouldn't pay
to work that over.
DR.. Powley says Coolidge is the
best little town in the state. l am
delighted with both the town and
its future Aside from the fact
that in my profession as chiroprac-
tor l have been kept busy, there is
a strong appeal to me in the tre-
mendous extent Of wonderful soil
that backs up this town, and its
natural location for a town is Just
going to force business here, and
structures to take care OF the house
ing Of that business. Naturally fine
homes will be built to accommodate
the people who come here. 1t is
the best bet for the making of a
town, and a big one, have come
across since coming west" The
decor and Mrs. Powley arrived in
Arizona some months past from
Davenport, Iowa. Arizona is a
wonderful state and the movement
from the east and California has
hardly started" stated the doctor

assure you"

DEMAND FOR
HOUSES TO RENT

A visit to the real estate Off
ces, the newspaper offices, and the
merchants, brings out the indisput-
able fact that Coolidge is short of
houses to rent. People who are
locating in this town are daily ask
ing for information as to where
they can secure a place to live in.
New homes that are built are taken
at once and the demand seems to
increase Notwithstanding the fact
that this is the summer season,
when lots of people are supposed TO
leave on vacation. II is hoped
that all who want to live In Cool
idge will manage to be accommo-
dated by the building OF new

EARLY SUMMER RAIN

By taking the compass Of the
moon, examining the buttons on a
rattler, counting the stars, or by
indications in the working of the
home brew, none Of the weather
experts in this locality gave out
warnings Of the wind and rain
storm that hit here Wednesday. It
was a lalla pa loosa while it lasted
and almost caused the boys In the
clothing business to stick out their
rubber goods. No great damage
has been reported.

KNOWS LAW

George Stovall, than whom a bet
ter lawyer doesn't practice in this
neck of the woods, dropped into
this office Tuesday. We were glad
to see him as long as he did not
represent a law suit in which we
held the opposite end to him.
George was perambuiatihg around
constructing a few fences to protect
his run for district attorney. The
only thing he has against the edi-
tor of the Examiner, George says,
is that the editor is an Irishman,
and a republican, cant do him any
good in voting, and takes his money
for advertising.

SADDER BUT WISER

AS a result Of correspondence
with a Kansas mortgage and invest
ment company, who write that at
the time OF taking on business here
a certain agent was not in their en-
ploy, a number of people in this
community are sadder and wiser to
the extent OF kissing a $24.00 ap-
plication fee for loan a mournful
goodbye. 1t is said there is a
warrant out for the mans arrest.

We all believe and count it true,
That life endures for me and you;
That beyond this misty vale of tears
Continued life, more grand, appears.
For a spell we sometimes doubt;
Because we cannot reason all things out
But in the silence we hear still,
Doubt it not, it is my will
For life endmes it cannot end;
On this truth you can depend.
Always onward, ever gaining,
And to brighter heights attaining.
Of course, will come the shades of night
And, for time, obscure the light;
But the morning, if we prepare,
Will shine for us again, more fair.
And in the night, while we are resting,
Of our works may come the testing,
That will decide, for you and me,
And all others, their earned degree
