"WE ORIGINATE --- OTHERS IMITATE" Phoenix Tribune Key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes SOUTHERN WHITE WOMEN TAKE STAND AGAINST LYNCHING SOUTHERN WHITE WOMEN TAKE STAND AGAINST LYNCHING (Nashville, Tenn. Feb. 17.—Declarating that "unless lawlessness and mob violence can be checked, the very foundation of our civilization is threatened." a large company of representative Tennessee women, white, from all sections of the state, in session at McKendree church here pledged themselves to cultivate a' Christian attitude with regard to inter-racial questions and organized the woman's section of the Tennessee Inter-Racial Committee. The meeting which was called by Mrs. Luke G. Johnson of Atlanta, representing the southern commission was attended by about seventy-five women prominent in church and club work, and was apparently of one mind in the desire to help bring about a Christian solution of the race problem in the south. Mrs. Johnson presided and addresses were made by Rev. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Bishop Troy Beatty of Tennessee, Mrs. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee, Ala., Dr. W. D. Weatherford of Southern College, Professor L. M. Faverot of Louisiana and Professor S. L. Smith of Nashville. Dr Alexander, who is the executive secretary of the Inter-Racial Commission, outlined its genesis and purpose, and made a strong appeal for the application of Christian principles in interracial relations, instead of leaving the whole question alone, or seeking to solve it by force. Mrs. Moton, the wife of Major R. R. Moton, who succeeded Booker T. Washington as head of Tuskegee Institute, make a brief talk, dignified and in fine spirit, expressing confidence in the friendship and co-operation of the white race and pleading for the sympathy and help of the white women of the south in the development of better Negro homes and schools. Among the declarations of the meeting were these: We appreciate the chivalry of white men, but deplore the fact that a Colored man must suffer violence in seeking the protection of the women of their race. We therefore pledge ourselves to cultivate the Christian attitude of mind in every day contacts by discouraging the use of these terms both in conversation and in the press that arouse resentment and convey a sense of inferiority or contempt; by using our influence against rudeness on the part of all public officials, and employees of public utilities; by standing for justice and opportunity and the fullest possible development to which every individual of the race can attain. HARDING BEST DRESSED Washington, D. C., Feb. 17.—President Harding is the best dressed man who has been in the White House for many years, according to J. C. Wineman, prominent local tailor, who brought delegates attending a tailors' convention here to shake hands with President Harding today. "In my estimation, President Harding dresses perfectly for one in his position." Wineman asid. To Our Readers No person is in a better position to know the attitude of the business concerns of a community than the one who solicits the advertisements and comes in personal contact with the heads of the business concern. When the advertisement of a business firm is carried in the Tribune, it not only serves as an announcement of the special prices or the line of goods handled by that concern, but it is a Direct Invitation to members of the race to patronize the business place; further, it is assurance of fair and courteous treatment. Go Where You Are Invited 1922 WILL GO DOWN IN HISTROY AS ONE BIG CAMPAIGN YEAR 1922 WILL GO DOWN IN HISTROY AS ONE BIG CAMPAIGN YEAR (Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Feb. 17.—That this is "campaign year" is evidenced by the activities of various state political committees which are issuing calls for county, district and state conventions, apportioning the delegates, and making other necessary arrangements that are preliminary to every political primary and election campaign. Practically every state will hold state primaries or conventions and state elections this year. In addition to state elections, the entire membership of the house of representatives, and 33 out of 96 United States senators are to elected. The first state to hold such a primary is Indiana, which on May 2nd will nominate republican and democratic candidates for the United States senate. The senator whose term expires in Indiana is Harry S. New, republican. Senator New will be a candidate in the republican primaries for the nomination to succeed himself. YOUTHFUL SLAYER WILL FACE DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR YOUTHFUL SLAYER WILL FACE DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR (Associated Negro Press) New York City, N. Y., Feb. 17—Luther Boddy, the Colored desperado, charged with the murder of two police detectives, January 5th, and later captured in Philadelphia by a Colored detective and Justice Scott, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in supreme court, Justice Wasservogel's court tonight. The verdict announced after the jury had deliberated four hours failed, apparently, to affect the young Negro, although he knew that the penalty meant death by electrocution. He said he was 22 years old, had attended high school and had been convicted of lesser crimes four times. Boddy's defense had been that in his previous dealings with policemen they had been brutal and that it was the fear of being beaten and manhandled that caused him in a temporary moment of insanity to shoot the two detectives who had just arrested him.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 RECORDER OF DEEDS GOES TO BLACK MAN FROM WEST VIRGINIA RECORDER OF DEEDS GOES TO BLACK MAN FROM WEST VIRGINIA Washington, D. C., Feb 17.—"President Harding is reaching political decisions." This time it is quoted, for it was said before. Arthur G. Froe,' of West Virginia, has been named by the president for recorder of deeds. The president is praised for his courage in naming a member of the group for the position, but he is being criticised for not naming a man of national reputation. "Who is Arthur Froe?" That question is being asked on all sides. From all reports, Mr. Froe is a very estimable gentleman. He is a successful lawyer and a politician of influence, in his "home section," but is not known nationally. President Harding, it seems, finds it most difficult to do a really popular thing for the group. The president is fully informed on the criticism that has been launched against him, but insists that his motives are misunderstood, and that later on all will be well. There has never been a president who is better informed on current racial problems. As with all subjects, the president delves into information on the subject personally; he talks with people constantly and reads news articles and editorials in our racial newspapers, furnished him from an unbiased source. The president reads the favorable and unfavorable comments. MESA By Alphonso Robinson The Mesa division of the U. N. I. A., held a splendid program Sunday evening at the church.

(Flip) Baker and W. E. Foster, both whites, are being tried here for the shooting of Artie McDowell by mistake for a Negro brakeman at Millington, last September as a part of a general plot to drive Colored men from railroad jobs. The state seems certain to win a conviction, but owing to some twist in the law here it is felt they will not get more than one to five years. The special agent of the Illinois Central knew there was a plot to shoot the Colored men off the trains and had gone to Millington to frustrate it. It was brought out that Foster and Baker had declared: "That it was a shame for Negroes to have the train jobs on the north end, while so many white men were out of work," and that they decided to go to Millington that night and make the Negroes on the train think that "Hell will be to pay" if they kept on the runs. However, they intended only to scare and not to kill anyone. Earnest Jones, a tall yellow Negro out of Paducah was the one whom they hoped to get that night. McDowell is tall and of dark complexion and was mistaken for the Negro. The deep snow-covered mountains are again practically cleaned of snow and the forest foliage is again visible. Many folks of the city are suffering with la gripe and severe colds. It is rumpred that a few cases of flu are in existence. It is very necessary at this time to take precaution concerning health conditions. Mrs. Eliza Moker celebrated her several friends, social callers, namely: Mrs. and Miss Alice Fernley, Mrs. Shaver and her son Mr. Toliver, Dainty refreshments were served, during the evening Miss Alice Fernly entertained the guests with many beautiful selections at the piano, while Mr. Toliver, a beautiful singer, spiked the affair with several vocal numbers. After a late hour the guests departed declaring Mrs. Anderson a wonderful hostess, while Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and Baby Maria Louise bade them make frequent calls. Mrs. Tliza Moker celebrated her birthday with much merriment with several of her friends. The home was beautifully decorated, color scheme pink, carnations used artistically making an exquisite showing. A delightful five course dinner was served, and during the meal, music was furnished by the Victrola which made the dinner more palatable. Dancing and card games were the amusing feature. Guests present: Mrs. Ed. Hall, Mrs. Joseph Burkhart, *Ms. Claude Green, Mrs. Lucy Delany, Mrs. Joe Anderson and Mrs. Moker, the clever hostess. The guests retired at a late hour declaring Mrs. Moker a delightful hostess, and further stated that the greatest evening was spent in the history of their lives. Mother Coopwood, mother of Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Hall has, been on the sick list for several days, in bed a great part of the time, but is a little better. Mother Coopwood, like many of our mothers, is decliling in age and much tenderness is due. We hope she will soon feel good again. Mrs. Eliza Evans sold her beautiful home on East Sheldon street for a neat sum. The deal was handled through Mr. Hines' office. This should awaken many of the Prescott folks paying rent. How far are you getting ahead? The best investment on earth is the earth itself. Mrs. Mary Tobin, who underwent a serious operation, is at home again feeling much better but still weak from the stay in bed and the operation. Much time is needed for her complete recovery. Mrs. F. H. Alexander has been a little sick but is much improved. little sick but is much improved. Many things for the uplift of our folks are going on and many of the Colored people of Prescott are engaged in all lines. Mrs. Addie Evans has opened a high class hand laundry with Mr. Johnson, formally of Tempe. SENATOR FROM STATE OF ARKANSAS SAYS DYER BILL USELESS (Akron, Ohio, Feb. 17.-United States Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, assailed the Dyer anti-lynching bill which passed the house at Washington last week as unconstitutional and characterized it as "absurd beyond necessity for argument." and as doing violence to every well known rule for the construction of constitutional provisions." In addressing 400 Ohio jurists and attorneys at the opening sessions of the mid winter gathering of the Ohio Bar Association here today. In his attack upon the Dyer bill, Senator Robinson said: "No progress will be made in overcoming the mob spirit by the enactment of unreasonable or unconstitutional statues, for such efforts in the end must meet with failure. It is unreasonable to fine a county $10,000 as provided for in the Dyer bill, unless the authorities representing the county have failed in the performance of their duty. "It is absurd beyond necessity for argument to say that if five or more persons secretly assemble in one county, and under the Dyer bill such an assemblage of five persons constitutes $^{4}$ mob, unlawfully seize a prisoner and transport him through another county to some place where his life may be taken with little danger of detection, that the unoffending citizens of the county through which the unfortunate victim may have been conducted, shall have their property levied upon and sold to pay a forfeiture for a wrong to which they have contributed neither by any wrongful act nor by any default of private or public duty." Last week the Willing Workens' Club met with Mrs. Polk and spent a pleasant afternoon. Art and needle work engaged the attention of the ladies and many fancy pieces were made. Questions brought in by Mrs. Mary Davis were as follows: Q.—Who was the first white man in Kentucky? A.—Daniel Boone. Q.—What two presidents died on the Fourth of July? A.—Adams and Jefferson.

Friends of Mr. Clarence Lindsey will be pleased to learn that he is getting along nicely at the Phoenix Sanitorium and much improvement is noted in his case. SOUTHERN SENATOR PROPOSES SOLUTION FOR RACE PROBLEM SOUTHERN SENATOR PROPOSES SOLUTION FOR RACE PROBLEM (Special to The Tribune) (Special to The Tribune) Jackson, Miss., Feb. 17. — Senator McCallum today introduced in the state senate in session here, a concurrent resolution providing for the legislature of Mississippi to memoralize the president of the United States and the national congress to secure by treaty, by purchase or other negotiation, sufficient territory in Africa to make a suitable and final home for the American Negro, where, under the tutelage of the American government, he can develop for himself a great republic, to become in time a free and sovereign state and take its place at the council board of the nations of the world. Senator McCallum proposes to use such part of the allied war debt as may be necessary to acquire such territorial possessions to the end that America shall become a nation of one blood, as it is in spirit, and as he says "To give the American Negro opportunity for the development of racial development under the most advantageous circumstances."

YOUNG WILL BE HELD MARCH 12 (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Feb. 17.—After a consultation with the officials in the state department, and other well known citizens throughout the country, The Associated Negro Press announces Sunday, March 12th, as the date for national memorial services in honor of Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., "Well known soldier," who died recently in Nigeria, in the service of his country. The final disposition of the body of Colonel Young has not been determined upon. It has been stated that the law would probably not permit bringing the body to this country within a year. Consequently the date for the memorial service was agreed upon. At the state department, The Associated Negro Press was informed unofficially that the immediate cause of the death of Colonel Young was Bright's disease. It is thought that he had gone to Nigeria for the benefit of his health. Mrs. Charles Young, the colonel's wife, it is learned, is in this country at Wilberforce, Ohio, the country home of the distinguished military officer, where the colonel's mother is also living. The children are in school abroad. Real Memorial Event It is planned to make the twelfth of March a real memorial event. Besides memorial services in the regular army regiments, Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Infantry and the Ninth and Tenth Calvary regiments, the Eighth Illinois, Chicago, Colonel Otis B. Duncan commanding, and the Fifteenth New York, New York City, Colonel Little commanding, all other organizations throughout the country without formal invitation, are invited to remember the dead hero appropriately. The Ornega Phi Psi Fraternity, with the Alpsa chapter in Washington, and of which fraternity Colonel Young was an honored and active member, has joined in the plans for the memorial, and sent official notices to chapters throughout the country to have a memorial service on March 12th or join with local bodies in appropriate recognition. James Weldon Johnson, executive secretary of the National Association of Colored People, on whose board Colonel Young served, has been asked to notify the branches throughout the country to fittingly honor the memory of Colonel Young, and impress the people with the grave responsibility before the people of all races. The Associated Negro Press, executive offices 3423 Indiana Ave., Chicago, Ill., is receiving suggestions and furnishing information to all who desire it. Improving Rapidly Mr. R. F.

We should take the children to Sabbath school and the young people's meetings. We should be there to help enliven the service and to see that error does not set up wrong ideals. We are a lazy gene- ration of fathers and mothers. Our parents took us to church, but from the chair of ease we say to our children: “Go along to the Union.” We despise the service by not going ourselves and they imitating our action, despise it by going somewhere else. I remember a church, where I suggested to the sisters that the Mission Circle buy five gallons of cream and bake a few cakes, that we might entertain the young men of the city who were fast drifting away from the church. We forget that Christ fed men both physically and spiritually. At this reception to which they crowded, we talked tellingly with them of the real ways that they could improve their lives, While the iron was hot, we helped them organize a Young Men’s Reading Circle.. It went off with a whirl and ran all winter. I did not go much because they were reading and discussing a book of mine on forceful subjects of the hour. The Mission Sisters after a time felt it would run on alright without them, so they began dropping out. Another selfish group in the community seeing the power in these young men to give them political pull, came into the meeting and remained quiet until yearly election time. On that night they took charge. They overran the will of the young men. At one time two presidents attempted to preside. The*outside faction gained control, changed the place of meeting and in a short'time a fine organization was dead. Strong Christians must stay by any good work or it can be altered into something else. The organizers were to blame, who became careless of this great responsibility, When we create a good thing we should put our very life into it and stay down in the trenches that it may hot be perverted and our idea in the hands of selfishness or wickedness be changed from a blessing to a curse. The strong men and women of the church must ever be present in our Young Peoples Unions, our literary and debating societies to see that right ideals and standards alone are held up before the impres- sionable mind of youth. Well meaning but unwise people in such meetings may do a world of harm, toward giving youth an im- pulse toward skepticism or vice. How carelessly we allow half skeptical people to ask any kind of question in the Sunday school, which seeks to question the justice or wisdom of God. Can we calculate the harm of such arguments to childish hearts and weak adult minds. I con- sider them profane discussions and such people ought to be di- rected to carry their questions to the pastor or teachers meetings. Children should be fed the Scriptures say, on the milk of the word, not the strong meat. I am God, the creature of his crea- tion, if is His right to do with me and all I possess as He wills. In debating societies, Christian people should see if it is an .auxiliary of the church, that people morally sound and strong in logic be placed on the side that represents God and righteousness or a world of harm can be done to the minds of the youth of the community, If the wrong side wins from mere technique of argument during the few minutes the judges are out, the subject should ‘be thrown open to the house and those who can talk clearly and forcefully should clear up the erroneous impressions which have dropped in the listeners minds like tares. I know of no more helpful process than debating. It trains us to make points. If we know our time is limited, it makes us clear and concise, one of the most needful things in the Building of the Kingdom. This is a race of orators. It is a natvie gift and the reason why so many black boys have been class orators in great white institutions. But the rest of us should consider whether we possess new Truth or are we entertaining the people with cut and dried knowledge which they already possess. If we have no new truth, then we are imposing onthe patience of the people and merely in love with the sound of our voice. To put Many such persons upon our church programs takes away from the drawing power of the service. We may possess new Truth and yet not possess the power of God to make it bright, winning and forceful that it may draw men to Christ. The man in the pulpit or leader of an auxiliary who attempts to teach the people with dry technical husks will leave them famished spiritually and is not building the church. If we have new truth and can dress it up in choice language, we must avoid taking too long to tell it or trying to tell too much. Sometimes we collar a man and try to tell him in an hour what it took us years to learn; or we wander round and round the poke of our subject or worry the listener down with petty details. ever we do not have the attention of our audience we are doing 4 — one of — things. ve sat in wonder at some of our religious gatherings to hear some man speak as God's own voice the people stirred to real response when some instrument of the-devil would gain the floor and ramble round until the patience of the people was ex- hhausted and their minds eae Those in authority should pier no one so to sit on the wheel of progress.

I never remember leaving a church service before THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING the average man but helps to prove Ben Tillman’s charge. that no Negro service has been dismissed in order since Emancipation, Let us put our foot down upon long-windedness. I remember a church I once visited, while doing educational work. I spoke after the pastor's morning: sermon, which was an excellent one. I tried not to mar it with Bone talk. Among other re I mentioned was the advantage of dressing girls simply. At that time some feeling existed between the sisters and two old brethren, ex-ministers, seemingly well meaning old men. But they could not resist the temptation to use the chain of thought I had started to pommel the sisters. They said enough to have run these hard working women away from the church. 1 had to make another talk in defense of them. This church was devoid of attendants. It was in the heart of the city. The pastor seemed a man of zeal but these men were killing his services. Such conditions in a church ought to be- ‘come a matter of church council and prayer. The church ought to make clear to every member that lengthy talks should never follow the pastor’s sermon. It is not psychological to pour too | much into people heads. They cannot hold it.

THE PHOENIK TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING The Green Pea Pirates ers and took on enough fuel to carry her to San Pedro; after which she steamed across the bay to San Francisco and tied up at Fremont street wharf. The cargo came down in boxes, variously labeled. There were "agricultural implements," a "cream separator," a "windmill," and half a dozen "sewing-machines," in addition to a considerable number of kegs alleged to contain nails. Most of it came down after five o'clock in the afternoon after the wharfinger had left the dock, and as nothing but a disordered brain would have suspected the steamer Maggie of an attempt to break the neutrality laws, the entire cargo was gotten aboard safely and without a jot of suspicion attaching to the vessel. when I get the price to back to San Francisco little schooner, and go South seas. How thou with you, Scraggsy, oL "Lovely," replied simply grand. I'll put out of this job." Mr. Gibney whistled his teeth. "That's the ticket for admiringly. 'I tell you soldier of fortune busi right, but it don't an compared to be a sa eh, Scraggsy? Just as there was a revolution my job in the Colom come north for the p No, I ain't been in the When all was in readiness, Captain Scraggs incontinently "fired" his deckhand and engineer and inducted aboard a new crew, carefully selected for their filbuster virtues by Scab Johnny himself. Then while the new engineer got up steam, Captain Scraggs went up to Scab Johnny's office for his final instructions and the balance of the first instalment due him. Briefly, his instructions were as follows: Upon arrival off Point Dume on the southern California coast, he was to stand in close to Dume cove under cover of darkness and show two green lights on the masthead. A man would come alongside presently in a small boat, and climb aboard. This man would be the supercargo and the confidential envoy of the insurrection junta in Los Angeles. Captain Scraggs was to look to this man for orders and to obey him implicitly, as upon this depended the success of the expedition. This agent of the insurrection forces would pay him the balance of five thousand dollars due him immediately upon discharge of the cargo at Descanso bay. There was a body of insurrection troops encamped at Megano vancho, a mile from the beach, and they would have a barge and small boats in readiness to lighter the cargo. Scab Johnny explained that he had promised the crew double wages and a bonus of a hundred dollars each for the trip. Don Manuel Garcia Lopez paid over the requisite amount of cash, and half an hour later the Maggie was steaming down the bay on her perilous mission. The sun was setting as they passed out the Golden gate and swung down the south channel, and with the wind on her beam, the aged Maggie did nine knots. Late in the afternoon of the following day she was off the Santa Barbara channel, and about midnight she ran in under the lee of Point Dune and lay to. The mate hung out the green signal lights, and in about an hour Captain Scaggs heard the sound of oars grating in rowlocks. A few minutes later a stentorian voice halted them out of the darkness. Captain Scaggs had a Jacob's ladder slung over the side and the mate and two deckhands hung over the rail with lanterns, lighting up the surrounding sea feebly for the benefit of the lone adventurer who sat muffled in a great coat in the stern of a small boat rowed by two men. There was a very slight sea running, and presently the men in the small boat, watching their opportunity by the ghostly light of the lanterns, ran their frail craft in under the lee of the Maggie. The figure in the stern sheets leaped on the instant, caught the Jacob's ladder, climbed nimbly over the side, and swore heartily in very good English as his feet struck the deck. "What's the name of this floating coffin?" he demanded in a chain-locker voice. It was quite evident that even in the darkness, where her many defects were mercifully hidden, the Maggie did not suit the special envoy of the Mexican insurrectos. "American steamer Maggle," said the skipper frigidly. "Scraggs is my name, sir. And if you don't like my vessel—" "Scraggsy!" roared the special envoy. "Scraggsy, for a thousand! And the old Maggie of all boots! Scraggsy, old tarpto, your fin! Duke me, you doggedon the salmander!" "Gib, my dear boy!" shrieked Captain Scraggs and cast himself into Mr. Gibney's arms in a transport of joy. Mr. Gibney, for it was indeed he, pounded Captain Scraggs on the back with one great hand while with the other he crushed the skipper's fingers to a pulp, the while he called on all the powers of darkness to witness that never in all his life had he received such a pleasant surprise. It was indeed a happy moment. All the old animosities and differences were swallowed up in the glad hand-clasp with which Mr. Gibney greeted his old shipmate of the green-pen trade. Scraggs took him below at once and they pledged each other's health in a steaming kettle of grog, while the Maggie, once more on her course, rolled south toward Descanso bay. "Well, I'll be keel-hauled and skull dragged!" said Captain Scraggs, producing a box of two-for-a-quarter cigars and handing it to Mr. Gibnex. "Gib, my dear boy, wherever have you been these last three years?" "Everywhere," replied Mr. Gibney. "I have been all over, mostly in Panama and the Gold coast. For two years I've been navigatin' officer on the Colombian gunboat Bogota. When I was a young feller I did a hitch in the navy and become a first-class gunner, and then I went to sea in the merchant marine, and got my mate's license, and when I flashed my credentials on the president of the United States of Colombia he give me a job at "dos cientos pesos oro" per. That's Spanish for two hundred bucks gold a month. I've been through two wars and I got a medal for sinkin' a fishin' snack. I talk Spanish just like a native, I don't drink no more to speak of, and I've been savin' my money. Some day when I get the price together I goin' back to San Francisco, buy me a nice little schooner, and go tradin' in the South seas. How they been comin' with you, Scraggsy, old kiddo? "Lovely," replied Scraggs. "Just simply grand. I'll pull ten thousand out of this job." Mr. Gibney whistled shrilly through his teeth. "That's the ticket for soup," he said admirably. "I tell you, Scraggs, this soldier of fortune business may be all right, but it don't amount to much compared to being a sailor of fortune, eh, Scraggsy? Just as soon as I heard there was a revolution in Mexico I quit my job in the Colombian navy and come north for the pickin's. . . . No, I ain't been in their rotten little army. . . . D'vee think I want to go around killin' people? . . . There ain't no pleasure gettin' killed in the mere shank of a bright and prosperous life . . . a dead hero don't gather no moss, Scraggsy. Reads all right in books, but it don't appeal none to me. I'm for peace every time, so right away as soon as I heard of the trouble, says I to myself: 'Things has been pretty quiet in Mexico for twenty years, and they're due to shift things around pretty much. What them peons need is a man with an imagination to help 'em out, and if they've got the money, Adelbert P. Gibney can supply the brains.' So I come north to Los Angeles, shows the insurrecto junta my medal and my honorable discharges from every ship Td ever been in, includin' the gunboat Bogota, and I talked big and swelled around and told 'em to run in some Vincent van Gogh "I Framed It All Up for This Filibuster Trip You're On." arms and get busy. I framed it all up for this filibuster trip you're on, Scraggys, only I never did hear that they'd picked on you. I told that coffee-colored rat of a Lopez man to hunt Scab Johnny and he'd set him right, but if anybody had told me you had the nerve to run the Maggie in on this deal, Scraggys, I'd a-called him a liar. Scraggys, you're much-bueno—that is, you're all right. I'm so used to talkin' Spanish I forget myself. Still, there's one end of this little deal that I ain't exactly explained to all hands. If I'd a-known they was charterin' the Maggie, I'd have blocked the game." "Why?" demanded Captain Scraggys, instantly on the defensive. "Not that I'm holdin' any grudge again you, Scraggsy," said Mr. Gibney affably, "but I wouldn't a-had you no more now than I would when we was runnin' in the green-pea trade. It's because you ain't got no imagination, and the Maggie ain't big enough for my purpose. Havin' the Maggie sort of puts a crimp in my plans." "Rot," snapped Captain Scraggs. "I've had the Maggie overhauled and shipped a new wheel, and she's a mighty smart little boat, I'll tell you. I'll land them arms in Descanso bay all right." "I know you will," said Mr. Gibney sadly. "That's just what hurts. You see, Scraggsy, I never intended 'em for Descanso bay in the first place. There's a nice healthy little revolution cementin' down in the United States of Colombia, with Adelbert P. Gibney playin' both ends to the middle. And there's a dog-hole down on the Gold coast where I intended to land this cargo, but now that Scab Johnny's gone to work and sent me a bay scow instead of a sea-goin' steamer, I'm in the nine-hole instead o' dog-hole. I can never get as far as the Gold coast with the Maggie. She can't carry coal enough to last her." "But I thought these guns and things was for the Mexicans," quavered Captain Scraggs. "Scab Johnny and Lonez told me they was." Mr. Gibney groaned and hid his face in his hands. "Scraggsy," he said sadly, "it's a cinch you ain't used the past four years to stimulate that imagination of yours. Of course they was purchased for the Mexicans, but what was to prevent me from lettin' the Mexicans pay for them, help out on the charter of the boat, and then have me divert the cargo to the United States of Colombia, where I can sell 'em at a clear profit, the cost bein' nothin' to speak of? Now you got to come buttin' in with the Maggle, and what happens? Why, I got to be honest, of course. I got to make good on my bluff, and what's in it for me? Nothin' but glory. Can you hock a chunk of glory for ham and eggs. Phineas Scraggs? Not on your life. If on Page 4) The great debate held Tuesday night at Antioch Baptist church, between A. Turner and Major Jones, resulted in a unanimous verdict for the negative. The question for debate was: "Resolved that there is no eternal torture." Major Jones upheld the affirmative, while A. Turner presented the negative. Mr. Todd Tannehill, our wide awake transfer man, whose stand is at 17 S. 2nd street, is getting ready for spring and summer business.

A SAFE INVESTMENT We are rapidly approaching a period in the history of the country when good agricultural farm lands will become the most valuable property to hold in this country. Farm lands properly handled are without question the source of the prosperity of the country. At a conservative estimate it is the safest investment a man can possibly make. Notwithstanding the fact that there are large areas of fairly good land unoccupied, the fact remains that the choicest and best located lands are now in the hands of home-makers, and owing to their increasing earning capacity are rapidly increasing in value. We may reasonably expect to see more rapid increase in the price of well located good lands in the future than in the past. This leads us to commend the investment in good lands. This especially applies to the southwest where lands produce from to six crops annually. We can't conceive of a possible safer investment. "Sweet Human Nature!

As for Captain Scraggs, every drop of blood in his body was boiling in defense of the ship he loved. "You're a pirate," he shrilled. "And you're just as big a hornset as you ever was," replied Mr. Gibney. "Always buzzin' around where you ain't wanted. But still, what's the use of bawlin' over split milk? We'll drop into San Diego for a couple of hours and take on coal, and about sunset we'll pull out and make the run down to Descanso bay in the dark. We might as well forget the past and put this thing through as per program. Only I saw visions of a schooner all my own, Scraggsy, and—well, what's the use? What's the use? Scraggsy, you're a natural-born mar-plot. Always buttin' in, buttin' in, fit for nothin' but the green-pea trade. However, I guess I can turn into my old birch and get some sleep. Put the old girl under a slow bell and save your coal. We'll have to fool away four or five hours in San Diego anyhow and there ain't no sense in crowdin' the old hulk." "Gib," said Captain Scraggs, "was that really your lay—to steal the cargo, double-cross the insurrection junta, and sell out to a furrin' country?" "Of course it was," said Mr. Gibney pettishly. "They all do such things in the banana republics. Why should I be an exception? There's half a dozen different gangs fightin' each other and the government in Mexico, and if I don't deliver these arms, just see all the lives I'll be savin'. And after I got the cargo into Colombia and sold it, I could have peached on the rebels there, and got a reward for it, and saved a lot more lives, and come away rich and respected." "By the Lord Harry," said Captain Scraggs, "but you've got an imagination, Gib. I'll swear to that, Gib. I take off my hat to you. You're all tight and shipshape and no loose ends bobbin' around you. Don't tell me th' scheme's got t' fall through, Gib. Great snakes, don't tell me that. Aln't there some way o' gettin' around it? There must be. Why, Gib, my dear boy, I never heard of such a grand lay in my life. It's a absolute winner. Don't give up, Gib. Oil up your imagination and find a way out. Let's get together, Gib, and make a little money. Dang it all, Gib. I been lonesome ever since I seen you last." "Well," replied Mr. Gibney, "I'll turn in and try to scheme a way out, but I don't hold out no hope. Not a ray of it. I'm afraid, Scraggsy, we've got to be honest." Saying which, Mr. Gilney hopped up into his berth, stretched his huge legs, and fell asleep with his clothes on. Captain Scraggs looked him over with the closest approach to affection that had ever lightened his cold gray eye, and sighing heavily, presently went on deck. As he passed up the companionway, the first mate heard him murmur: "Gib's a fine lad. I'll be dad burned if he ain't." At six o'clock next morning the Maggie was rounding Point Loma, heading in for San Diego bay, and Captain Scraggs went below and awakened Mr. Gilney. "What's for breakfast, Scraggsy, old kid?" asked Mr. Gilney. "Fried eggs," said Captain Scrigs, remembering Mr. Gibney's partiality for that form of nutriment in the vanished days of the green-pea trade. "Ham an' fried eggs an' a sizzlin' pot o' coffee. Thought a way out o' our mess, Gib?" "Not.yet," replied Mr. Gibney as he rolled out of bed. "but eggs is always stimulatin', and I don't give up hope on a full stomach." An hour later they were tied up under the coal bankers, and at Mr. Gibney's suggestion some twenty tons of sacked coal were piled on top of the fo'castle head and on the main deck for'd, in case of emergency. They lay in the harbor all day until about four o'clock, when Mr. Gibney, by virtue of his authority as supercargo, ordered the lines cast off and the Maggie steamed out of the harbor. Off Point Loma they veered to the south, leaving the Coronado islands on the starboard quarter, ten miles to the west. Mr. Gibney was below with Captain Scraggs, battling with the problem that confronted them, when the mate stuck his head down the companionway to report a large power schooner coming out from the lee of the Coronados and standing off on a course, calculated to intercept the Maggie in an hour or two. Captain Scraggs and Mr. Gibney sprang up on the bridge at once, the latter with Scraggs' long glass up to his eye. "She was hove to under the lee of the island, and the minute we came out of the harbor and turned south she come nosin' after us," said the mate. "Hum!" muttered Mr. Gibney. "Gasoline schooner. Two masts and bald-headed. About a hundred and twenty ton, I should say, and showin' a pretty pair of heels. There's somethin' up for'd—yes—let me see—ye-es, there's two more—holy sailor! it's a gunboat! One of those doggoned gasoline const patrol boats, and there's the federal flag flying at the fore." "Let's put back to San Diego bay," quavered Captain Scraggs. "it be durned if I relish the idea o' losin' the Maggle." "Too late," said the philosophical Gibber. "We're in Mexican waters now, and she can cut us off from the bay. The only thing we can do is to run for it and try to lose her after dark. Tell the engineer to crowd her to the limit. There ain't much wind to speak of, so I guess we can manage to hold our own for a while. Nevertheless, I've got a bunch that we'll be overhauled. Of course, you ain't got no papers to show, Scraggs, and they'll search the cargo, and confiscate us, and shoot the whole bloomin' crowd of us. I bet a dollar to a doughnut that fellow Lopez sold us out, after the fashion of the country. I can't help thinkin' that that gunboat was there just a-waitin' for us to show up." For several minutes Mr. Gibney continued to study the gunboat until there could no longer be any doubt that she intended to overhaul them. He made out that she had a long gun for'd, with a battery of two one-pounders on top of her house and something on her port quarter that looked like a Maxim rapid-fire gun. About twenty men, dressed in white cloth, could be seen on her decks. Presently Mr. Gibney was interrupted by Captain Scraggs pulling at his sleeve. "You was a gunner once, wasn't you, Gib?" said Captain Scraggs in a trembling voice. "You bet I was," replied Mr. Gibney. "My shootin' won the trophy three times in succession when I was on the old Kearsarge. If I had one good gun and a half-decent crew, I'd knock that gunbomb silly before she knew what had hit her." "Gib, I've got an idea," said Captain Scraggs. "Out with it," said Mr. Gibney cheerfully. "There was four little cannon lowered into the hold the last thing before we put on the main hatch, and the ammunition to load 'em with is stowed in the after hold and very easy to get at." Mr. Gibney turned a beaming face to the skipper, reached out his arms, and folded Captain Scraggs in an embrace that would have done credit to a grizzly bear. There were genuine tears of admiration in his eyes and in his voice when he could master his emotions sufficiently to speak. "Scraggsy, old tarot, you've been a long time comin' through on the imagination, but you've sure arrived with all sail set. I always thought you had about as much nerve as an oyster, but I take it all back. We'll get out them two little jackass guns and fight a naval battle, and if I don't sink that Mexican gunboat, and save the Maggie, feed me to the sharks, for I won't be worthy of the blood that's in me. Pipe all hands, lift off that main hatch. Reeve a block and tackle through that cargo gaff and stand by to heave out the guns." But Captain Scraggs had repented of his rash suggestion almost the moment he made it. Only the dire necessity of desperate measures to save the Maggle had prompted him to put the idea into Mr. Gibney's head, and when he saw the avidity with which the latter set to work clearing for action, his terror knew no bounds. "Oh, Gib," he wailed, "I'm afraid we better not try to lick that gunbob after all. They might sink us with all hands." "Rats!" said Mr. Gibney, as he leaped into the hold. "Bear a light here until I can root out the wheels of these guns. Here they are, labeled 'cream separator.' Stand by with that sling to—" * "But, Gib, my dear boy," protested Captain Scraggs, "this is insanity!" "I know it," said Mr. Gibney calmly. "Scraggs, you're perfectly right. But I'd sooner die fight'n' than let them THE LIGHT "I'd Sooner Die Fightin' Then Let Them Stand Me Up Agln a Wall in Ensenada." "I'd Sooner Die Fightin' Than Let Them Stand Me Up Agin a Wall in Ensenada." stand me up agin a wall in Ensenada. We're dilubusters, Scraggsy, and we're caught with the goods. I, for one, am gain' down with the steamer Maggie, but I'm goin' down fightin' like a bear." "Maybe—maybe we can outrun her, Gib." half sobbed Captain Scraggs. "No hope," replied Mr. Gibney. "Fight and die is the last resort. She's eight miles astern and gainin' every minute, and when she's within two miles she'll open fire. Of course, we won't be hit unless they've got a Yankee gunner aboard." "Let's run up the Stars and Stripes and dare 'em to fire on us," said Captain Scraggs. "No," said Mr. Gibney firmly, "my old man died for the flag an I've sailed under it too long to hide behind it when I'm in Dutch. We'll fight. If you was ever navigatin' of fice on a Colombian gunboat.

PHOENIX ENJOYS FIRST TASTE SOFT WATER FEBRUARY 12 Seventeen months of continuous labor and an expenditure of $1,500,000 was rewarded last Sunday when City Engineer L. B. Hitchcock released the water of the Verde Gravity System into the city mains of Phoenix. Within a few hours practically all the mains connecting with the 20-inch distribution lines were being flooded with the soft water from the Verde river, 31 miles away. While the construction work of the great water system concluded several weeks ago and its complete success from an engineering viewpoint had been established, Manager Thompson delayed the release of this water into the city mains on account of the presence of a bacterial content. The presence of this organic matter is accounted for by the fact that a certain amount of surface silt unavoidably found its way into the pipe lines and intake of the Verde system during the course of its construction. This surface silt naturally carried with it a certain amount of organic matter which manifested itself in the form of pollution in the early pathological reports. The simplest way of eliminating this matter was to flush the entire system until the analysis at the city end would show the water to be as pure as it always has been at the intake. This method of flushing has been continued for the past many weeks with an analysis being made every few days to determine the progress of purifying the entire pipe line. In the face of considerable opposition and political criticism, Avery Thompson, the city manager, withheld his permission to release the Verde water into the city mains until all danger of pollution had been absolutely eliminated. Shortly before going to press, the following statement was made by City Manager V. A. Thompson, to a correspondent of this paper: "The Verde water system is going to be all we ever had hoped for in the way of a permanent water supply both from the standpoint of quality and quantity. All construction work is completed with the exception of the upper end of the intake along the river. The sanitary analysis of the water shows a much purer supply from a bacteriological standpoint than the city water we have been using. The Verde water is running as low as two bacteria per cubic centimeter." The water was turned in Sunday night, Mr. Thompson added, "on the strength of a report from the pathological laboratory, made Saturday which assured the city officials that the counts made in scientific tests showed the water perfectly safe for drinking purposes. It was to reach this point, that the turning in of the water was delayed as long as it has been." The Verde system consists of two miles of heavy concrete intake, parallel to the river, and thirty miles of redwood pipe line, extending from the intake, across the desert to the point of juncture with the city distribution mains. If the present rate of inflow at the intake maintains, City Engineer Hitchcock said only about 1,000 more feet of the intake pipe must be laid to insure an adequate supply. When completed, the Verde system will have a capacity of 15,000,000 gallons a day and with the proposed reservoir, some day to be constructed, can sustain a 25,000,000 gallon per diem flow during peak load periods. The ordinary 15,000,000 gallon capacity is sufficient to supply a city of 75,000 inhabitants. CHURCH DIRECTORY FIRST A. M. E. ZION CHURCH Corner 10th street and East Washington street. A. J.

UNE test A in subscriptions before $100.00 diamond ring ping for The Tribune Los Angeles, Cal. mbus, New Mexico. Saturday, February 18, 1922 According to an estimate made by A. A. Johns, of Prescott, Arizona now has about 1,000,000 sheep, not including Navajo Indian herds. The assessed value is $5 a head, and with lands and equipment, the sheep industry of the state represents an investment of about $15,000,000. This year the wool crop amounted to about 8,000,000 pounds, at present prices valued at around $2,000,000. Lambs numbered about 600,000, valued at $2,500,000, gross returns from the two items being about $4,500,000. It is estimated that the cost of Verde Central and Shea stocks are the centers of interest on every stock exchange in the country. The price of the former seems to have settled at about $3 and that of the latter is slowly creeping up, the present asked price being 30 cents, with very little available at that figure. There is a brisk enquiry for Calumet and Jerome and many sales of small blocks of the stock are being made at around 20 cents. There is also a considerable enquiry for Green Monster, and the asked price his stiffened appreciably.
