Phoenix Tribune

This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position—Theodore Roosevelt. VOL. V.—NO. 48 By Mrs. Katherine Mack You will find Mr. Cummings at his post of duty at 329 West Main street. He was delighted to get the Tribune and promises an annual subscription soon. He is dependable in business or otherwise. Call when in need of anything in his line of goods. He will treat you right. Mr. and Mrs. S. Williams of 115 Manhattan street are quite interested in the welfare of our people, and will always lend a helping hand to any worthy cause. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Laws of 1317 Ruby street meet their friends with a pleasant smile, and never fail to entertain strangers. Their aim is higher ideals and to help those who are willing to be helped. Mrs. R. C. Ketchum of 1253 Compton avenue is a lovely young woman of pleasing personality, and quite efficient in every way. Mr. Ketchum works at Long Beach and is an ideal husband. We hope for the young couple, health and happiness as they journey through life. We find Mrs. R. Isler a very charming and interesting woman to converse with. The husband, Mr. Isler, is distributing clerk in the Los Angeles post office. If Mr. Willis Williams will write the reporter at 311 Cypress Ave., Watts, Calif., he will learn something of much interest to him. Stanton and Saunders, carpenters, own and conduct the largest up-to-date carpenter shop in Watts. They number among their customers some of the largest furniture dealers in Los Angeles. We had the pleasure of going through thir nice work shop, where they have installed about $700 worth of machinery. They had just finished up a truck load of tables which had to be delivered in order to make room for other orders that were coming in. The Rev. J. B. Bell, formerly of Phoenix, Ariz., but now of Los Angeles, was a pleasant visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Mack on the 14th of February. We were delighted to see him up and able to visit his friends. He has improved wonderfully in the past few days, and says he will be glad to see his many friends at his home, 1245 East 20th street, Los Angeles, Calif. We attended services at Douglas Temple, Spiritualist church, 1434 E. 21st street, Los Angeles. The Rev. G. W. Shields is pastor and we enjoyed an interesting lecture and order of service. Srgt. and Mrs. Banks are enjoying the glorious sunshine and are quite busy looking after their nice lawn and young trees. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Thomas, of San Pedro, are planning to build a sixroom cement block bungalow. Mr. Thomas is owner of one of the finest barber shops in San Pedro. He has not been so well this winter, and would be pleased to get in touch with a first-class barber to help out so that he may take a much-needed rest. Mrs. Thomas has quite recovered from a mild attack of the flu. Friends of Mrs. Ennis Bell will be glad to know she is convalescing from her recent indisposition. Her greatest trouble was over-work. Mr. Bell is a patient in the hospital and is receiving the best of care. Last report received was that he is doing well, and hopes to be home soon. Mr. and Mrs. Bell have an apartment with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. White, forly of Phoenix, and great friends of the Bells. Don't fail to call on these lonely people and leave a word of cheer to comfort them. Well has the poet said: "Kind hearts are the gardens, kind thoughts are the roots, kind words are the blossoms, kind deeds are the fruits." Mrs. Ennis Bell would love to hear from her dear friend, Mrs. Susie Green. Her address is 1610 Central Avenue, Los Angeles, Calif. We called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Cridel at 332 S. Compton avenue, where we found Mr. Cridel sitting on the porch waiting his wife's return from the city. We were told to call again as the family is interested in anything tending to racial uplift. Mr. Cridel is a finished carpenter and is employed by a large building concern in Los Angeles. When in need of a carpenter, painter and a good all-around handy man, call on Mr. W. G. Slaughter. He is a worthy man and is doing things for the race. Don't forget the number, 604 Compton Ave. Mrs. T. F. Hooks of 300 Compton avenue, was very glad to get a copy of the Tribune, and wants all readers to know that she is a child of the King.

He also serves fruit, fruit ice, ice cream and soft drinks of all kinds. His sandwiches can't be beat. If any of our widows think they don't want to marry again, beware of Mr. James' smiles or you will surely change your mind. Mr. Shields is a very busy man and one that gets a good word from every dealer in Watts. Don't forget to call on Mr. Shields when in need of new and second-hand furniture. His prices are right. Mr. J. E. Walton, formerly of Phoenix, Ariz., is sole owner of the largest and best equipped meat market and grocery store in Compton avenue. He is located at 942 S. Compton. If you do not wish to buy, visit his place and give him a word of encouragement. This is due every man who is faithful in his efforts to go forward. When in need of dry goods and notions, call at 925 S. Compton on Montgomery and Houchins. They are doing a good business and know how to please the public. Mrs. Montgomery is a chip off the old block, for her father, Mr. J. T. Howard, has been in the business for 31 years in Topeka, Kans. He is now 67 years of age and still an active member of the firm.

Fraser, who left Prescott in 1914, was delighted with last week's issue of the Tribune and enjoyed every line of the Prescott news. He said it was more like a dream to hear from the old-timers and know that so many are still living in Prescott. Mr. Fraser is owner of a shoe shop on Compton Ave., and has plenty of work to keep him busy. He is married now and settled down to the quiet home life which he enjoys. He wishes Mr. Phillip Avery, his overseas pal, to write him at 922 S. Compton Ave., Watts, Calif. Mr. Lacey Perkins is a bright young man, trying to make an honest dollar for the upkeep of his little family. When in need of a first-class shine, you will find him ready to serve you at 116 W. Main St. Mr. Cunningham is a hard man to find as he is quite busy with his new duties of City Marshal. But the barber shop cannot be neglected, so the men with an overgrowth of whiskers smile and wait when he is not at his place of business. If a man does not receive guests at home, he will meet with very few hosts abroad. Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Mack were guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Smith on last Sunday. We arrived at the lovely home of the Smiths' at 10:00 o'clock sharp, and attended morning services at Eighth and Towne, where Mr. and Mrs. Smith are active members. We enjoyed the wonderful sermon delivered by the pastor, Rev. A. M. Ward. The choir rendered many beautiful numbers and ten new members were received into the church. After services, we motored home and enjoyed a delightful four-course chicken dinner, with all the trimmings. Mrs. Smith is a wonderful cook and knows what to prepare to tickle the palates of her old-time friends. Mr. Smith is a pleasing and congenial host, and you never feel unwelcome in this lovely home. After dinner we motored to many beautiful parks and places where nature offers day dreams to the eyes of those who think. We enjoyed every moment in their presence and the noiseless motor of their 1923 Buick Six spinning through the breeze. We love the cows and chickens, but this is the life! PRESCOTT By Mrs. L. V. Hines At 6:00 P. M. Mrs. L. A. McCarty answered the call and passed into the great beyond. She has been sick for over two years, and held up wonderfully to the end. No funeral arrangements have been made, and a full account of her death will apepar in next week's issue. She will be buried in Prescott. The many friends of Mrs. McCarty are deeply bereaved and the family has the sympathy of all who knew her. The People's A. M. E. Zion church is having regular services and nice audiences, and the pastor, Rev. Simpson, welcomes all to each service. Why not go to church? Send your children to Sunday school. We are responsible to God for our children. Why not train them up in the way that they should go? Take them to church. Mrs. Frank Lenard, daughter of the late Senor Delgadillo, who was summoned to Prescott by the death of her father, received a wire Tuesday, the 27th, stating that her husband, Mr. Frank Lenard, was killed, and she and her son left on the first train out for San Diego. The message did not state how he was killed or when. Only a few weeks ago Mrs. Lenard and little son were summoned here because of the death of her father who was killed at ambush and left lying on the edge of Granite Creek in the rear of the ice house, and no clue was found in this case. Mrs. Lenard and family have the sympathy of their many friends in Prescott. Mr. Frand Lenard was well known and liked by all who knew him. On Tuesday of last week, Rev. and Mrs. Harvey entertained with a several-course turkey dinner. Covers were laid for ten. The home was beautifully decorated in valentine colors, with large and small hearts hung artistically from the ceiling in both living and dining room, which added to the attractiveness. The table was beautifully decorated and the place cards and table trimmings were made by Mrs. Harvey, which cost her nearly a week's work. Mrs. Harvey is an artist, and all pictures used were drawn and colored by her hands. There was nothing left undone, everything being perfect. The dinner was delightfully served, and as Mrs. Harvey is an excellent caterer, and exerted every effort to make the dinner a success, the affair was one of the swellest of its kind given in the state. Several prizes were given the guests and a continued roar of laughter was kept up, caused by the different features used. Mr. Todd received a calendar with a beautiful painting and shaving pad attached. Nettle May received a beautiful prize for singing, the reporter won a beautiful heart-shaped pin cushion. Post offices were neatly arranged in the home, and each family represented had mail, and the interesting features made the time pass pleasantly. The invited guests were: Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Jones and little son Eugene; Mr. and Mrs. David Todd, Thos. E. Hines and wife Baby Nettle and Mother Ramsey. The guests departed at a late hour, declaring this one of the swellest affairs they ever attended. Mrs. Mary Carter received a telegram Monday for Baby Marion telling of the death of Marion's mother at Riverside, California. She passed away at 11:30 Monday, February 19. Funeral services were held in Riverside, and it was impossible for Marion to attend. She was the former wife of Mr. George Jourdan. The many friends of the family share their sorrow in this sad hour. Mrs. Jacob Tull has bene on the sick list for several days, suffering with a severe attack of the grip. She is much improved, and her many friends hope she will be well again. Mr. Woodland received a letter from his wife recently. Mrs. Woodland left several days ago to be at the bedside of her mother. She states in her letter that her mother is very sick and shows little or no improvement. It is the hope of her friends, however, that she will soon make a change for the better. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Burkhardt have purchased a Chandler Chummy roadster—a real automobile. We are glad to see prosperity shown among the colored people.

He and his wife are some of Prescott's best citizens and have everything in keeping with a lovely THE PHOENIX Y. W. C. A. "The Y. W. C. A. means nothing to our people—is doing nothing for colored girls." This is the rumor that has reached the local Young Women's Christian Association. A year ago this rumor was true to a large extent. There were no clubs for colored girls, but the Y. W. C. A. was finding employment for all girls, irrespective of their color or religion. However, this service was slight when compared to the other activities the Association was doing for girls. The Y. W. C. A. having only one worker for girls, has not been able to extend its work until this year. Another club worker has been added to the staff. The first duty of this secretary was to organize the colored girls into Girl Reserve clubs. There is now a club in each the colored high school and the Douglass school. The work done with these girls is identical to that done with white girls. As members of the Girls Reserve Corps of the Y. W. C. A. they are learning self reliance, finding the joys of fellowship and developing a normal, happy girlhood. This week is Y. W. C. A. budget week in Phoenix. With no equipment and few funds, the Y. W. C. A. is helping five hundred and twenty girls to "face life squarely and to find and give the best." Get back of the Girl Movement in your city! The Y. W. C. A. needs your support and your girls need the Y. W. C. A. AFRICAN PRINCE ASTOUNDED AT MORAL LAXITY IN U S (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) CHICAGO, Ill., March 1—While spending a short visit in this city last week Prince Bulawa Cetewaye commented in part as follows on American ways and moral standards: "I think your American standards of morals are too loose. I have observed this in both races here. Maybe these women you call flappers are responsible. We do not have them in our country. My country is almost as civilized as America. Most Zulus go to church on Sunday. And morally they are the finest people in the world. Commercialized vice is unknown. In parts of Africa where such conditions exist, they are the products of the Anglo-Saxon." MOTHER AND TWINS DIE IN FIRE WAUGHTOWN, N. C., March 1—In a fire last Thursday night here, Mrs. Malissa Grant and two of her children, twins, were burned to death. Mrs. Grant was severely burned while attempting to rescue her children.

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CHEMICAL INDUSTRY INDUSTRY INC WHY SOME PREACHERS FAIL There are some preachers, who just can't succeed. Everywhere they go it is the same old story of hard luck, charge torn to pieces and people dissatisfied. Some of these men are fairly well educated, some graduates, some are young men serving their first ten years and others are veterans. Ask the board of stewards about him and they will tell you, "He is a good man, but some how he doesn't take, we will need another man at conference." Why is it that some preachers fail? We suggest: 1. Some preachers fail because they lack tact. They do not know the meaning of the word DETOUR. They attempt to put off on the membership their IDEAS, and NOTIONS, as if they were CONVICTIONS, forgetting that some stewards and officers know more of local conditions than they will ever know. He gets stubborn when advised by officers of the church and talks about "standing for the right," and at every breath threatens the official board with "the law." While a preacher should never yield a MORAL PRINCIPLE for expediency, but he can and must adapt himself to conditions as they exist, when no moral principle is involved until a time shall come when he shall be able to influence a change for the better. No preacher has a right to tear down and destroy until he is able to construct something better in its place. Some preachers attempt to change the entire life of a charge, both social and economic in three months—the life that has existed for years. Some preachers will not accept anything or any plan of a former pastor—some not even the church roll. 2. Some preachers fail because they are lazy. This word may seem harsh and grate upon the ear. We might have said "indolent" or "averse to labor," but we prefer the old word lazy. To go to a parsonage and find a precaher, well and able bodied, piled up in bed at 8 o'clock in the morning is a shame. What kind of example for diligence can he set his flock? Some men are so lazy that they will not even tend a garden, but allow the parsonage lot to grow up in weeds, and then have the nerve to expect the membership to bring them vegetables produced by toil and sweat. There is a class of men who idle away all the morning at barber shops, stores, and on street corners and become as common in the streets as an alley cat. Do our readers wonder why they lose the confidence and respect of the membership? One of the first rules laid down by Mr. Wesley for a Methodist preacher's conduct, and one which, every preacher in full connection vowed he would keep, is "Be diligent, never be unemployed. Never be triflingly employed, neither spend any more time at any place than is strictly necessary." A preacher should be as busy in his work as a farmer, mechanic or banker in theirs. 3. Some men fail because they want to "run the church." We heard a preacher not long ago said, "I run this church from the pulpit to the coal house." This attitude will ruin any preacher in the long run. We have know pastors in churches that had well organized boards, to take charge of the money raised on Sunday, and go down town on Monday and settle the bills of the church. Trouble always comes when the preacher attempts to be steward, trustee, superintendent, secretary and treasurer. The officers have some rights and they refuse to be made figure heads. We know a case where the preacher removed three or four of the stewards in the fourth quarterly conference because they insisted that the financial affairs of the church belonged to the stewards. A successful pastor is one who puts the responsibility of "running the church" on shoulders where it belongs and encourages the people to support his boards. 4. Finally, some men fail because they are envious, little and mean. He cannot bear to hear the people speak well of his predecessor. He never invites a strong preacher to fill his pulpit. He will find fault with every preacher in the conference even if he has to go back and dig up some old thing that occurred before he came into the ministry. Some preachers are even evious of the presiding elder and bishop. They hate to hear the people say pleasant things of even their superior in office. The editor has known more than one pastor to close a revival which was adding numbers to his church because he feared the evangelist would win the hearts of the people. No congregation likes a mean envious, stingy, bull-headed preacher who is always strutting like a peacock, advertising himself. No, brother, we have no particular man in mind just now, but there are several men we know in the church who are failures, as pastors and even our bishops can't make them succeed.—Christian Index. THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING IN THE LAND WHER CHRIST LIVED By Mrs. Lelia Walker Wilson Palestine, the land where Christ lived, and long since known to all the civilized world as the Holy Land, on a whole cannot be called a beautiful land. Every province, and there are seven, has its peculiar physical form and taken separately they are interesting to note, but grouped, they remind one of our own hills and valleys, except of course, they are devoid of natural signs of care and cultivation. In striking such a comparison, do not believe me to mean the more picturesque scenery which America has, but Palestine, to me is like the state of California, up-hill, down-hill; but with twice as much variety of scenery and climate. All America though, has no such remarkable plateaus as Palestine. Running north and south along the shores of the Mediterranean Seas is the Philistine Plain, or as some know it, the Plain of Sharon, and the Phoenician coast. Gradually rising up from them into what is almost the middle of the country are the mountain of Judah, mountains of Ephraim and Mount Carmel. These mountains are a literal dividing line between East and West Palestine. Just beyond them lies the Dead Sea, 1300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean. Due north of it and about 65 mils distant, is the Sea of Galilee. These two inland seas are joined by the River of Jordan and its tributaries. Beyond them and further into the interior, lay the Mountains of Moab, Mountains of Gilead and Mount Hermon, all of which slope greatly away to the Syrian Desert. The land of Palestine comprises the province of Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Phoenicia, Damascus, Decapholis and Perea, which in turn comprise all the various types of land from sandy seashores and fertile valleys to lofty, barren mountains and burning desert lands. These extremely varied regions coupled with the fact that they do not exceed 80 miles in width and 250 miles in length, help to make Palestine the most remarkable part of the world. It has been called the "least of all the lands" and rightly so, for had it been larger, its influence might have been less. As might be supposed, in such a land of varied conditions, the inhabitants are engaged in just as varied pursuits. The chief, however, are farming and sheep raising. There are of course, the merchants and traders, seafarers, laborers, learned men, guides, servants and countless professional "do nothings." But on the whole, the 700,000 persons get along to suit their fancy without much aid from the outside world and apparently not much thought of it. The most ancient methods are used in tilling the soil and grinding grain. In fact, everywhere is to be seen the most obsolete methods. It is just now and then that one glimpses an occidental touch in doing things, and always used by modren settlers. Donkeys and camels continue to be the chief beasts of burden, though the more recent and fashionable residents possess vehicles and horses. Religion is the chief interest of the inhabitants, and why shouldn't it be? Living as they do in the land where christ lived, their every move is among the most Holy of Holies and silent influences are exerted over them that apparently shut out the worst that is worldly. Of the religious, Mohammedanism has the largest number of followers. It prescribes Friday as the Sabbath, prohibits the use of intoxicants and believes in more than one wife. Faithful Mohammedans pray five times daily and wash their feet each time before doing so. Their women wear veils which cover the lower part of the face, the eyes alone being exposed. Among them marriage is easy and so is divorce, a word with a little money being enough to consummate either by a desiring husband. The real cities of Palestine are few and present a sight far different from our cities and the scenes may be contrasted to the quite simple pastoral life of the small towns and back-hill settlements of that land. In them may be found all the pictures of the Orient. A succession of narrow, crooked streets, always filled with brilliantly attired people; low stone dwellings; a row of disarranged, but well stocked shops; countless minarets and spires piercing the sky-line, suggesting the numerous mosques and churches; bazaars, beggars and a conglomeration of everything under the sun. Jerusalem in particular is the home of all the sects and "isms" known in Christiandom, and it is not much more than that. Many things one would expect to find there are not to be seen. There are no parks or theatres, no concerts, no libraries, clubs or lectures. Simple things like soda-water, light lunches, tooth paste and shoe polish are unknown to shop keepers. Only the bare necessities of an antiquated people are carried. Everywhere the Holy Land is spoken of in superlative terms and rightly so, for with its large number of biblically historical points, its singular geographical traits, its sacred importance, it is the one such place in all the world, holy, enchanted and alluring. MAN'S BODY FOUND Texarkana, Ark., Feb. 21.—The body of George Hawkins was found in the McKinney bayou near the Summerhill road, about eight miles from here, last Sunday afternoon by searchers who had been looking for him since Saturday noon. Hawkins' body which was only partially submerged, bore no marks of violence. No reason can be assigned for Hawkins drowning himself. REQUESTED NOT TO RE-ENTER JOHNS HOPKINS Baltimore, Md., Feb. 21.—Heads of the medical department of Johns Hopkins University, requested Dr. H. M. McKoin, former Mere Rouge mayor and one of the principal figures in the Ku Klux Klan disturbances, not to re-enter the institution. They gave as their reason that it would bring undue publicity to the school. It is said that Dr. McKoin told the officials that he would be glad to comply with their wishes in the matter. Long Beach, Cal. By Mrs. Katherine Mack Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stevenson were pleasant callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Mack. We always enjoy their visits, as not one dull moment is spent in their presence. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson are among the most fortunate property owners in the beach town, some of their lots being located near the oil zone. We hope for them a fine "gusher" in the near future. It is always interesting to visit the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Brooks, as they are one of the pioneer families of the Beach, and have something to show for their tireless years of toil. They own three valuable lots on Cala avenue and 11th street, with two good rent houses which enable them to sit down and enjoy a well-earned rest. They also plan to build an apartment house on the east front of their lots some time this summer. Houses are in great demand and we hope they will not change their plans, as we are anxious to see this worthy couple move on to the topmost rung of the ladder. We called to see our worthy pastor and wife, Rev. and Mrs. A. L. Brewer, and found them preparing to journey to Redlands, to attend the young people's convention which met in that city. Rev. Brewer is pastor of the Second Baptist church of Long Beach, and is doing a great work. The choir is under the supervision of one of our talented vocalists, who is a graduate of one of our Eastern schools. We enjoy good singing, and with Mrs. Brewer as leading soprano, the Second Baptist church choir ranks second to none in Southern California. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Jackson called to see us a few days ago and to inspect our little ranch. We were agreeably surprised and delighted to have them as our guests. They were enthusiastic in their praise of the ranch and said they would call more often when the fruit gets ripe. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson are prominent members of Long Beach's social circle, having lived here for a number of years. They own their home, a lovely two-story residence in East Aneheim Blvd., near the oil zone, where lots are doubling in value almost every twenty-four hours. They have been offered a small fortune for their home more than once, and have refused each offer. Mrs. Erwin Higgins and her cousin, Miss Marie Wilhite, are to be complimented for their stay and continued success with the Buffums Department Store (white), which is one of the largest department stores in Southern California. Mrs. Higgins has full charge of the mezzanine floor and Miss Wilhite is in the suit and cloak department. This is Mrs. Higgins' third year with this firm. Rev. and Mrs. Williams are always at home to their many friends, so don't forget to pay them a visit when you go to Long Beach. They also are owners of valuable property near the oil fields, and will hold it until they are satisfied they are getting all it is worth. The reporter did not get to see Mrs. Williams last week when she called, but look out for me, I will be there soon. It is said that Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Perdue will soon have their two three-room apartment houses finished, which they purchased recently and moved on their corner lot on East 8th street. The rainy weather and slight indisposition of Mrs. Perdue worked quite a hardship on Mr. Perdue.

A monster day afternoon in the Zion ng was addressed by leading THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE-ALWAYS IMPROVING By Mrs. S. H. Hill Mr. Wm. P. Crump, Grand Master of Masons for Arizona Jurisdiction, was a business visitor in Yuma on February 14th. His intention was to meet the members of Victory Lodge that night and leave the same evening on a late train for Ray, where he has a thriving business. Mr. Crump surely had forgotten that he had some old friends in Yuma who once were residents of Phoenix. He also must have forgotten that he has a daughter, Miss Elizabeth Crump, who is capable of taking care of his business during his absence; so we would not stand for any such short visit, as we had not seen Mr. Crump for quite some time. We had him to stay a few days and talk over old times and look over the city. This was his first visit here, and he expressed himself as favorably impressed with our town and predicted that Yuma soon will be a prosperous and growing city. On Thursday night the Merrymakers club met at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Caton. After all business had been transacted, the evening was spent in conversation and whist. Mr. Wm. P. Crump was honor guest, and all members of the club were present. Refreshments consisting of salad, cake and coffee were served. Some of the members knew they had a silver tongued orator in their midst, and would not let the meeting close with out hearing from him. Mr. Crump's talk was short, eloquent and opportune. Everyone enjoyed his presence as well as his talk. At the close of the meeting all declared they had a delightful time. We are always glad to have such men visit Yuma as Messrs. Crump, Caldwell, Credille, and others. The meeting of the Merrymakers club this week will be with Mrs. S. H. Hill and Messrs. S. H Hill and Rufus Kelley will act as hosts. Mrs. Martha Chism is still confined to her home on account of illness. Mrs. John Gordon and mother Barnett are on the sick list. Mother Barnett is 92 years old. Mesdames Miller, Johnson, E. R. Caton, John Gordon, Wm. Staton and Mother Caton were guests of Mrs. S. H. Hill last week. They enjoyed a very interesting talk on religious matters. Mrs. Halston paid us a brief visit just before her departure for Tucson. Mr. and Mrs. Kenard, of Bard, Calif., were house guests of Mr. and Mrs. Hill. Rev.
