The late Will Rogers, famous

1882, when he successfully smashed
the political machine of seven
times Governor George W. p. Hunt
and swept into office as Arizona's
chief executive for two terms end

Born In Tennessee
DR.. Moeur was born at Decherd,
Tenn, Dec. %, 1869. With his fam

life as cowboy on ranches in the
Lone Star state. However, he con-
tinued his education, and in 1896
was graduated from Arkansas In
