BIG SCANDAL AT WEST'N UNIVERSITY CHURCHES FACE SHORTAGE OF EDUC'D NEGRO MINISTERS ACCORDING TO GOV'T REPORT A SQUARE DEAL This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or ms 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. VI.—NO. 7 BIG S CHURCHES FACILITY OF EDUC'D NEED ACCORDING T (Presfon News Service) Washington, D. C.—The demand for at least 1,500 educated Negro ministers yearly in the United States is being supplied by only about 100 Negro men having any sort of ecclesiastical training, with the result that the Negro churches of America face a serious shortage of educated or even trained ministers each year, according to statistics compiled at Howard University, under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. There are about 50,000 Negro churches in the United States of all denominations. Last year less than 100 Negro men were graduated from any kind of training school for ministers and of this number less than ten were college graduates. The average school training among the others was about one and a half years of grade school work. This shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is now one white minister to every 889 white people in the country. There are a large number of ministerial training schools in the country, but few of the young men, who complete a college course are inclined to take theological training. Among the Negro schools maintaining high grade theological departments are: Lincoln University. Wilberforce University, Howard University, Virginia Union University, Livingstone College; Gammon Theological Seminary and others. Just why the college trained young Negro does not enter the ministry is a problem. It is said that the most serious draw-back confronting the Negro in America to day is the lack of training on the part of 75 per cent of its ministers. Mexican Laborers Brought to Mills In West Virginia Benwood, W. Va. — One-hundred and fifty Mexicans wre brought here last Monday to work in the Benwood mills. Shortage of American labor was given as the reason for the importation. Mills, mines and road construction in this district are able to continue only through labor from the outside, it is claimed. A large number of the miners in this district are Negroes from the south, brought into this section with the proffer of high wages. Negroes are also employed largely in road construction work. Shown Every Courtesy On the occasion of the recent visit to this city of Mrs. B. Smith of Los Angeles, she was quite royally entertained by admiring friends. She was taken for an automobile ride to Tempe, Mesa, Yaqi Town, and other places of interest by Dr. and Mrs. W. C. Hackett and Mrs. P. F. McCutcheon. She also was taken on a sightseeing trip by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur McLindon of 733 West Buchanan street. Altogether, she had a very nice visit to the old home town. Mrs. Smith left last week for her home in Los Angeles. The Tribune follows, of course. Another Boy Born Thursday, July 19 to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Jofar of 931 West Grant street, a bouncing baby boy.

Phoenix Tribune key to Happiness ARIZONA'S LEADING NEWSPAPER In 10,000 Homes M.E. CHURCH SOUTH RISES IN DEFENSE OF OLD TUSKEGEE Lake Junaluska, N. C.—(Special). The Social Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in annual session here last week, gave out a statement expressing appreciation of Tuskegee Institute and declaring that any interference with the institution would be a "lasting disgrace to Southern civilization." The statement which was given wide publicity by the Associated Press, was as follows: "Inasmuch as there has come to us through reliable newspaper reports and private sources of undoubted reliability information that the interests of the great institution for colored people at Tuskegee, Ala., are seriously menaced by threats of organized interference, "Resolved, that this commission put on record our appreciation of the incalculable value of that institution for the training of our colored fellow citizens, and declare our unalterable conviction that any invasion of its rights or interference with the orderly pursuit of its lawful and benevolent labors would be a calamity to the institution and a lasting disgrace to our Southern civilization. The aciton of the commission of which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is chairman, was called forth by the recent parade of Ku Klux Klan at Tuskegee and by other efforts to intimidate the institute, because of its supposed attitude in the controversy relative to the new government hospital for colored veterans. The statement is considered very significant as representing the leadership of one of the greatest South ern denominations with a membership of 2,500,000. It indicates the prevailing attitude of the best people of the South toward Tuskegee and other Negro institutions. Arthur Brisbane Believes Migration of Blacks is Menace (Preston News Service) New York City.—In his daily editorial comment under the caption of "TO-DAY" Arthur Brisbain has the following to say regarding the coming of the Negroes to the North: "Constant migration of Negroes from the South to the North is a menace to southern agriculture. It may also prove to be an important factor in the 1924 campaign, and others. In the North those colored men will vote, and 90 per cent at least, will vote the Republican ticket. Twenty-five thousand colored voters, or fewer, located in the right spot, might decide a close national election." Going East Madam O. G. Howard of 726 West Grant street, will leave in a few days for an extended eastern trip. She plans to visit in St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago and -other places of more or less importance. She will remain several months. St. Paul Guest Mr. O. G. Washington is a recent arrival from St. Paul, Minn., and is the house guest of Mrs. Bertha Jackson and Mrs. Carrie Morris in 805 South 5th avenue. He plans to spend a brief vacation in the city and it is predicted that he will be the inspiration for many social affairs. HOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 Klansmen Used Sheets From Vets. Hospital At Tuskegee, Is Claim (Preston News Service) New York City—According to reports reaching here from various sources, it is charged that sheets from the store room of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., were used as uniforms in a KU Klux Klan anti-Negro demonstration there on July 3. It is further charged that white persons connected with the Hospital entertained the members of the klan paraders at supper in the hospital after the demonstration. These charges were made by the N. A. A. C. P. following an investigation by special agents from the association. According to the report submitted by the investigators, the sheets afterward were found to bear "dust and automobile grease", and other evidence to show to what use they had been put.

PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN OF LITTLE ROCK CONVICTED OF RAPE Little Rock, Ark—Henry L. Dorsey was found guilty of having assaulted a young woman, whose name was not divulged, last Thursday afternoon in Criminal Court and sentenced to 3 years in the State Penitentiary. The jury was out less than thirty minutes. Dorsey waived the time allowed before the passing of the sentence and was sentenced by Judge Wade immediately following his conviction. Dorsey is a prominent proprietor of a garage here. He was charged with attacking a prominent young society woman in his garage here on May 5, last. It is said that the crime was committed when the young lady went into his garage during a heavy rain storm. During the trial it was brought out in the testimony that the woman had known Dorsey for a number of years and as far as she knew at the time she sought shelter from the storm in his place of business she would be perfectly safe. She told the court that Dorsey was in the garage alone when she went in out of the storm and that he invited her into his office, locked the door behind them and put the key in his pocket, and then like a wild animal attacked her. Screams for help failed to bring aid. JUST THREE PEOPLE CAN WHIP DEMPSEY SAYS JACK JOHNSON JUST THREE PEOPLE CAN WHIP DEMPSEY SAYS JACK JOHNSON (Preston News Service) Indianapolis, Ind.—Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, discussed the ring sport with county officials here Friday, while attempting to obtain the release of his automobile, which was attached by the Sheriff, when Johnson was appearing here in vaudeville in 1921. During the visit of such a distinguished a personage as Mr. John Arthur Johnson at the court house attracted considerable attention and everybody wanted to hear Jonson's opinion about the big fighters. He was constantly questioned by persons who crowded into the sheriff's office about first one fighter and then another. Someone asked Johnson if he thought that there was any fighter today who could whip Dempsey. As quick as a flash Johnson answered. "Certainly." "Who?" he was asked. "There are three people in the world who can knock out Jack Dempsey." the former champion asserted, "they are Fripo, Harry Wills and Jack Johnson." Georgia Legislature Seeks to Pass Measure Outlawing the Kluxies (Preston News Service) Atlanta, Ga.-A bill requiring all secret organizations and societies to file a list of their officers and members with the clerk of the Superior Court in counties in which they have meeting places, and to prohibit the wearing of masks or other coverig of the face or head outside of the lodge room, was introduced in the Georgia House of Representatives last Monday by Representative Bozeman of Worth county.

Women No Longer Need To Grow Old Says This Doctor (Special To The Tribune) Paris—The experiments of Dr. Serge Voronoff in the rejuvenation of elderly women, as well as elderly men, have been crowned with success according to the doctor. Dr. Voronoff states that he had succeeded in restoring youthful vitality and passions to septuagenarians and octogenarians, but he wishes to describe his process in detail to the pathological congress in Rome on October 8 before publishing it. He hopes to make aged women even bear children. The process consists of transplanting glands from young female chimpanzees, which are now being caught for him by the scores in Africa. Dr. Voronoff hopes to exhibit some of his rejuvenated women at the Rome congress—and perhaps some babies born to these women. HARRY WILLS STARTS TRAINING IN EANEST FOR DEMPSEY BOUT HARRY WILLS STARTS TRAINING IN EANEST FOR DEMPSEY BOUT (Preston News Service) New York City—Harry Wills, brown panther of New Orleans, and the most logical contender for a championship bout with Jack Dempsey, established a camp at East Chester, Mass., and began training with the hope that he is at last to get a crack at the belt. Accompanying Wills on his trip were Mr. and Mrs. James McCoy and Mrs. Harry Wills, pretty and accomplished wife of the challenger. Mrs. Wills has taken more than a passive interest in the welfare of her husband during his training for all fights and her presence in his camp makes the place bright, cheery and homelike. Will Have To Train Hard Wills and his staunch supporters realize that he will have a hard time rounding into condition for such a bout, after his layoff of almost a year. Leo Gates, heavyweight, who recently returned to New York, has been engaged as his sparring partner. Wills' manager feels that he should have at least one fight before meeting Dempsey and has agreed to permit the challenger to box the winner of the Bill Tate-Clem Johnson fight sometime during the month of August. Entertainment a Success The musical and literary program given by the Golden Links Juvenile Missionary Band of the C. M. E. church was a complete success. The children performed well their parts and all were delighted with the affair. Proceeds from the entertainment were donated to Mrs. N. M. Huff, 216 East Buchanan street. Mrs. Huff is a faithful member of the C. M. E. church but has been confined to her home the past several months on account of illness. Home from Georgia Mrs. Amelia Thompson, wife of the Rev. M. Thompson, pastor of the C. M. E. church, returned a few days ago from La Grange, Ga., where she was called on account of the serious illness of her sister, Miss Susie Brown. She reports her sister's condition as improved and hope is held out for her recovery. Aside from the sad mission on which she went, Mrs. Thompson reports a very pleasant visit with relatives.

GIRLS AT QUINDARIO SCHOOL LURED TO LONELY PLACE BY TEACHER AND STOREKEEPER TUSKEGEE AFFAIR IS NOT AS YET SETTLED BY LONG SHOT AVERS Birmingham. Ala.—The future policy of the Veterans' Bureau in regard to the operation of the Tuskegee, (Ala.) Veterans' hospital with Negro personnel rests on a determination of whether the good faith of the federal government is involved through promises made by the white committee of the Treasury department. According to Director Hines, for the present the hospital will be conducted with the present staff of white doctors and Negro nurses, but the process of selecting Negro physicians, ready to put them in when a definite policy is decided, will continue. Find Committe Made Big Promises There seems no doubt, said Hines, that the white committee made promises when land was donated for the institution, that it would be under the control of white personnel. "I recognize that possibly the committee exceeded its powers in makin such promises, and I, therefore, will move cautiously and seek to determine just what was meant. The Tuskegee Institute is manned entirely by Negro personnel, but has a board of trustee composed of 16 white men and four Negroes. It may be that a similar form of control of the hospital was contemplated. At any rate the citizens' committee at Tuskegee seems to have a promise in writing which it was said if disregarded might involve the government's good faith." Missouri Governor Paroles Two Convicts Each Doing 25 Years (Preston News Service) Jefferson City, Mo.-Two Negro convicts, sentenced to serve 25 years in the Missouri State Penitentiary for murder in the second degree were paroled by Governor Hyde last Wednesday.

A STRONG CHARACTER Race prejudice is bound to give way before the influence of character, education and wealth. These are necessary to the growth of our race. Without wealth there can be no leisure, without leisure there can be no thought, and without thought can be no progress.—Boston, Washington. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year RSITY ARIO SCHOOL JELY PLACE BY D STOREKEEPER (Special To The Tribune Kansas City, Mo.—There was more in the sudden, unannounced marriage of "Prof." Peter Crutchfield of Western University to Mae Bridgeforth, a student there, and the hasty by night flight of Lawrence Patton to Colorado and the immediate preparations for a trip home by June Smith, a student at Western, on the day before commencement exercises than would at first be suspected. Crutchfield, who is storekeeper at Western University, Quindaro, Kans., and Patton, who is assistant instructor in electricity and engineering at Western, lured nineteen-year-old Mae Bridgeforth and seventeen-year-old June Smith, both students, to a lonely spot in the woods behind the girls' dormitory. Planned Act For Days According to students, both Patton and Crutchfield had planned the escapade for days in advance of its happening. On the morning of the incident Patton and Crutchfield were heard planning with the girls, in a store near the school. Following this talk, Crutchfield and Patton, who, because of their capacity, had no restrictions on their movements about the campus, were seen to go across the chicken farm down in the lonely woods near the river. Within half an hour they were followed by the girls. They were stopped in their course by a teacher who warned them to go to their dormitory. According to his statement, the girls turned as if to obey him, but took a round-about way and went to the woods, where, in the company of the men, they were later discovered by students and two of the instructors of the school. The girls attempted flight when they were discovered. Surprised in their act, Patton and Crutchfield assumed a meek and humiliating expression. Crutchfield Resigns Crutchfield immediately handed in his resignation. Patton, who is married, first attempted to "smooth" things over with President Peck, who refused to hear him. Patton left about midnight of the following night, leaving the girl, June Smith, to suffer the humiliation. Mrs. C. Bridgeforth, who resides here, is mother of the girl, she hastened to the school when this news reached her, and it is said that at the point of a revolver commanded Crutchfield to marry her daughter. Reluctantly he complied, but it is rumored that he diseried her shortly after the marriage, leaving for parts unknown. Postal Employee Had Habit of Using Money That Was Not His Own Pine Bluff, Ark—Julhus C.

Spend your money judiciously and watch Phoenix grow. Now is the time, let's go! Things are beginning to open up and prosperity is just around the corner, says Babson. Meanwhile, banks are closing their doors, merchants are going bankrupt, big corporations are going into the hands of receivers and calamity howlers are everywhere in evidence. In the face of all this, it is a little hard for the average individual to believe Mr. Babson's statement. Fashion decrees that women's dresses should be only six inches from the ground. Some of our young girls don't seem to know this. Knee skirts are out of style, ladies. Let 'em drop. Speaking for the men, we feel safe in saying that we have seen enough.

A woman with her hair beautifully arranged, her gown fitting to perfection, and her shoes either soiled or unpolished, furnishes a peculiar kind of amusement to the onlooker. The tangled affairs of Ben Rice, former Phoenix merchant reminds us of what the immortal Shakespeare said about "these mortals." Some people spend more time talking about how much work they have to do, than they spend doing the work. The famous barber shop orators, who discuss base ball and imaginary politics, are having their day during this warm season. The man who is working has little time to talk, that is, if he hopes to make a finished job if it. Phoenix must and will have a colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A.

JOHNSON, Interracial Secretary for Oklahoma CHRIST'S LAW AND HOW TO KEEP IT. "Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Chrit's law."—Gal. 6:2. The Jews when Jesus was on earth, were very strict observers of the law of Moses. In fact, they gave so much attention to the observance of the letter of the law that they often lost sight of its significance. Jesus came and made it unnecessary for them to bother about memorizing so much of the law. To love God supremely and one's neighbors as one's self, according to Jesus' teaching, is to keep every requirement of the "law and the prophets." Christ, therefore, has only one law and that law is love. His law consisting of only one word constitutes a rule of conduct that would make useless all law, all courts and all places of punishment. The weak would have no occasion for complaint against the strong; the ignorant against the wise; the poor against the rich; the honest against the dishonest; nor the black man against the white man. The Apostle Paul in the text shows how the love of Christ, a panacea for all ills, may be obtained. "Always carry one another's burdens, and so obey the whole of Christ's law. Obeying the command to "always carry one another's burdens" is the only way to build love, Christ's law, into our lives. We value things in proportion as they cost us. The same rule applies with reference to "one another." If mothers love children more than fathers do, it is not because they have greater capacity for loving, but because the children cost them more pain, patience, anxiety and toil. A man never ceases to love the family to which he is giving whole-hearted support. It is only when he does not carry that burden that his affections lodge somewhere else and desertion becomes possible. Woman's independence of man's support has more to do with the prevalence of divorce in this day than anything else. Opportunities for "carrying one another's burdens" are so abundant that no one needs to look for them. Exery day, everywhere we can find: 1. The burdened individual. The problem of adjusting one's self to his enviorment is fraught with many burdens. Sometimes they result in tragedy and sometimes in heroic living. Many a suicide would have been averted if someone by kind word or deed had lifted the burden which bore so heavily upon the victim. Young women, burdened with sins committed while conscience slept; young men burdened with the embarrassment of financial loss or social disgrace; men and women of all ages and races, wrestling with religious doubt, furnish us opportunities every day to help bear some perplexed and dejected person's burden. 2. The burdened family. No homes regardless of wealth or station, is free from the multitudious burdens which afflict family life. The rich and socially great do not have to struggle for existence and place in society, yet they may have problems of character that burden infinitely more. The poor, in addition to the daily grind, may also be burdened with character problems that you can help to lift. Because every family has economic, social, moral or spiritual burden to lift, opportunities for service in that regard await every one of us. 3. The burdened race. And we would have you know that the Negro is not the only burdened race. The Anglo-Saxon carries greater burdens than the Negro or anybody else. That is due to his prominence. Leadership is always burdened with responsibilities. But, the heaviest load on the Anglo-Saxon's mind and heart is not constructive leadership. It is the problem of recognizing and maintaining "white supremacy," and at the same time being "a big brother to all other races." Deep down in the heart of the average white man is the disposition to deal more kindly than he does with other races, even the Negro. Because he fears that an absolutely square deal toward these peoples will be mistaken for an admission of their equality with him, he maintains an attitude toward them that, in his heart of hearts, he condemns. This of necessity gives the average white man a burdened conscience. So, I repeat, the Negro is not the only burdened race. Hard as the oppression of race prejudice may be, it is a burden put on us by others and weighs much less than the burden an accusing conscience puts on the oppressor. Let me plead with men and women of my race, not to add to the oppression others put on us the burden of an offended conscience. Whatever else may be our handicap, let us not be guilty of hating. Thoughts of hatred distort our minds, embitter our spirits and destroy the image of God within us. Burdens borne unselfishly remind us so much of the "Man of Galilee" that we should not only accept them, but count it a signal honor and high privilege to be like Him.

The Cross-Cut (Continued from last issue) of the ugly poison-laden drugs she brewed—some one who now was doomed to die and to lie in a quick-lime grave! Carefully Fairchild gained his feet; then, as silently as possible, he made for the rickety stairs, stopping now and again to listen for discovery from below. But it did not come; the insane woman was chanting louder than ever now. Fairchild went on. He felt his way up the remaining stairs, a rat scampering before him; he sneaked along the wall, hands extended, groping for that broken door, finally to find it. Cautiously he peered within, striving in vain to pierce the darkness. At last, listening intently for the singing from below, he drew a match from his pocket and scratched it noiselessly on his trousers. Then, holding it high above his head, he looked toward the bed—and stared in horror! A blood-encrusted face showed on the slipless pillow, while across the forehead was a jagged, red, untended wound. The mouth was open, the breathing was heavy and labored. The form was quite still, the eyes closed. And the face was that of Harry! CHAPTER XVII. So this explained, after a fashion, Harry's disappearance. This revealed why the search through the mountains had failed. This— But Fairchild suddenly realized that now was not a time for conjecturing upon the past. The man on the bed was unconscious, incapable of helping himself. Far below, a white-haired woman, her toothless jaws uttering one weird chant after another, was digging for him a quicklime grave, in the insane belief that she was alding in accomplishing some miracle of immortality. In time—and Fairchild did not know how long—an ill-visaged, scar-faced man would return to help her carry the inert frame of the unconscious man below and bury it. Nor could Fairchild tell from the conversation whether he even intended to perform the merciful act of killing the poor, broken being before he covered it with acids and quick-eating lime in a grave that soon would remove all vestige of human identity forever. Certainly now was not a time for thought; it was one for action! And for caution. Instinct told Fairchild that for the present, at least, Rodaine must believe that Harry had escaped unaided. There were too many other things in which Robert felt sure Rodaine had played a part, too many other mysterious happenings which must be met and coped with, before the man of the blue-white scar could know that finally the underling was beginning to show fight, that at last the crushed had begun to rise. Fairchild bent and unlaced his shoes, taking off also the heavy woolen socks which protected his feet from the biting cold. Steeling himself to the ordeal which he must undergo, he tled the laces together and slung the footgear over a shoulder. Then he went to the bed. As carefully as possible, he wrapped Harry in the blankets, seeking to protect him in every way against the cold. With a great effort, he lifted him, the sick man's frame huddled in his arms like some gigantic baby, and started out of the eerie, darkened house. The stairs—the landing—the hall! Then a query from below: "Is that you, Roady?" The breath pulled sharp into Fairchild's lungs. He answered in the best imitation he could give of the voice of Squint Rodaine: "Yes. Go on with your digging, Honey. I'll be there soon." "And you'll kiss me?" "Yes. Just like I kissed you the night our boy was born." It was sufficient. The chanting began again, accompanied by the swish of the spade as it sank into the earth and the cludding roll of the clods as they were thrown to one side. Fairchild gained the door. A moment more and he staggered with his burden into the protecting darkness of the night. The snow crept about his ankles, seeming to freeze them at every touch, but Fairchild did not desist. His original purpose must be carried out if Rodaine were not to know—the appearance that Harry had aroused himself sufficiently to wrap the blankets about him and wander off by himself. And this could be accomplished only by the pain and cold and torture of a barefoot trip. Some way, by shifting the big frame of his unconscious partner now and then, Fairchild made the trip to the main road and veered toward the pumphouse of the Diamond J. mine, running as it often did without attendance while the engineer made a trip with the electric motor into the hill. Cautiously he peered through the windows. No one was there. Beyond lay warmth and comfort—and a telephone. Fairchild went within and placed Harry on the floor. Then he reached for the phone and called the hospital. "Hello!" he announced in a husky, disguised voice. "This is Jeb Gresham of Georgeville. I've just found a man lying by the side of the Diamond J. pumphouse, unconscious, with a big cut in his head. I've brought him inside. You'll find him there; I've got to go on. Looks like he's liable to die unless you can send the ambulance for him." "We'll make it a rush trip," came the answer, and Fairchild hung up the phone, to rub his half-frozen, aching feet a moment, then to reclothe them in the socks and shoes, watching the entrance of the Diamond J. tunnel as he did so. A long minute—then he left the pumphouse, made a few tracks in the snow around the entrance, and walked swiftly down the road. Fifteen minutes later, from a hiding place at the side of the Clear creek bridge, he saw the lights of the ambulance as it swerved to the pumphouse. Out came the stretcher. The attendants went in search of the injured man. When they came forth again, they bore the form of Harry Harkins, and the heart of Fairchild began to beat once more with something resembling regularity. His partner—at least such was his hope and his prayer—was on the way to aid and to recovery, while Squint Rodaine would know nothing other than that he had wandered away! Grateful, lighter in heart than he had been for days, Fairchild plodded along the road in the tracks of the ambulance, as it headed back for town. The news already had spread by the time he reached there; news travels fast in a small mining camp. Fairchild went to the hospital, and to the side of the cot where Harry had been taken, to find the doctor there before him, already bandaging the wound on Harry's head and looking with concern now and then at the pupils of the unconscious man's eyes. "Are you going to stay here with him?" the physician asked. "Yes." Fairchild said, in spite of aching fatigue and heavy eyes. The doctor nodded. "Good. I don't know whether he's going to pull through or not. Of wm "I Don't Know Whether He's Going to Pull Through or Not." "I Don't Know Whether He's Going to Pull Through or Not." course, I can't say—but it looks to me from his breathing and his heart action that he's not suffering as much from this wound as he is from some sort of poisoning. "We've given him apomorphine and it should begin to take effect soon. We're using the batteries too. You say that you're going to be here? That's a help. They're shy a nurse on this floor tonight, and I'm having a pretty busy time of it. I'm very much afraid that poor old Judge Richmond's going to lay down his cross before morning." "He's dying?" Fairchild said it with a clutching sensation at his throat. The physician nodded. "There's hardly a chance for him." The physician went, and Falchild took his place beside the bed of the unconscious Harry, his mind divided between concern for his faithful partner and the girl who, some time in the night, must say good-by forever to the father she loved. Judge Richmond was dying. What would that mean? What effect would it have upon the engagement of Anita and the man Falchild hoped that she detested? What—then he turned at the entrance of the internet with the batteries. "If you're going to be here all night," said the white-coated individual, "it'll help me out a lot if you'll use these batteries for me. Put them on at their full force and apply them to his cheeks, his hands, his wrists and the soles of his feet alternately. From the way he acts, there's some sort of morphinic poisoning. We can't tell what it is—except that it acts like a narcotic. And about the only way we can pull him out is with these applications." The interne turned over the batteries and went on about his work, while Falcchir, hoping with his heart that he had not placed an impediment in the way of Harry's recovery by not telling what he knew of Crazy Laura and her concoctions, began his task. Midnight came and early morning. With dawn, the figure on the bed stirred slightly and groaned. Fairchild looked up, to see the doctor just entering. "I think he's regaining consciousness." "Good." The physician brought forth his hypodermic. "That means a bit of rest for me. A little shot in the arm, and he ought to be out of danger in a few hours." Fairchild watched him as he boiled the needle over the little gas jet at the head of the cot, then dissolved a white pellet preparatory to sending a resuscitary fluid into Harry's arm. "You've been to Judge Richmond's?" he asked at last. "Yes." Then the doctor stepped close to the bed. "Tve just closed his eyes—forever." Ten minutes later, after another examination of Harry's pupils, he was gone, a weary, tired figure, stumbling home to his rest—rest that might be disturbed at any moment—the reward of the physician. As for Falrchild, he sat a long time in thought, striving to find some way to send consolation to the girl who was grieving now, struggling to figure a means of telling her (Continued on page 3) SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 111 cigarettes 4 more 24 for 15¢ The AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.

Again a moan from the man on the bed, and at last a slight resistance to the sting of the batteries. An hour passed, two; gradually Harry came to himself, to stare about him in a wondering, vacant manner and then to fasten his eyes upon Fairchild. He seemed to be struggling for speech, for co-ordination of ideas. Finally, after many minutes— "That's you, Boy?" "Yes, Harry." "But where are we?" "We're in a hospital, and you're knocked out. Don't you know where you've been?" "I don't know anything since I slid down the wall." "Since you what?" But Harry had lapsed into semil-consciousness again. And it was not until late in the night after the rescue, following a few hours of rest forced upon him by the interne, that Fairchild once more could converse with his stricken partner. "It's something I 'ave to show you to explain," said Harry. "I 'can tell you about it. You know where that little fissure is in the 'anging wall, away back in the stope?" "Yes." "Well, that's it. That's where I got out." "But what happened before that?" "What didn't 'appen?' asked Harry, with a painful grin. "Everything in the world 'appened. I—but what did the assay show?" Fairchild reached forth and laid a hand on the brawny one of his partner. "We're rich, Harry," he said, "richer than I ever dreamed we could be. The ore's as good as that of the Silver Queen!" "The bloody 'ell it is!!" Then Harry dropped back on his pillow for a long time and simply grinned at the ceiling. Somewhat anxious, Fairchild leaned forward, but his partner's eyes were open and smiling. "I'm just letting it sink in!" he announced, and Fairchild was silent, saving his questions until "it" had sunk. Then: "You were saying something about that fissure?" "But there is other things first. After you went to the assayers, I fooled around there in the chamber, and I thought I'd just take a flyer and blow up them 'oles that I'd drilled in the 'anging wall at the same time that I shot the other. So I put in the powder and fuses, tamped 'em down and then I thinks, thinks I, that there's somebody moving around in the drift. But I didn't pay any attention to it—you know. I was busy and all that, and you often 'ear noises that sound funny. So I set 'em off—that is, I lilt the fuses and I started to run. Well, I 'adn't any more'n started when bloeyy-y-y, right in front of me, the whole world turned upside down, and I felt myself knocked back into the chamber. And there was them fuses. All of 'em burning. Well, I managed to pull out the one from the foot wall and stamp it out, but I didn't 'ave time to get at the others. And the only place where there was a chance for me was clear at the end of the chamber. Already I was bleeding like a stuck hog where a whole 'arf mountain 'ad 'it on the 'ead, and I didn't know much what I was doing. I just wanted to get be'nd something—it's all I could think of. So I shied for that fissure in the rocks and crawled back in there, trying to squeeze as far along as I could. And 'ere's the funny part of it—I kept on going!" "You what?" "Kept on going. I'd always thought it was just a place where the 'anging wall' ad slipped, and that it stopped a few feet back. But it don't—it goes on. I crawled along it as fast as I could—I was about wooxy, anyway—and by and by I 'eard the shots go off be'nd me. But there wasn't any use in going back—the tunnel was caved in. So I kept on. "After a while, I ran into a stream of water that came out of the inside of the 'lil somewhere, and I took a drink. It gave me a bit of strength. And then I kept on some more—until all of a sudden, I slipped and fell, just when I was beginning to see dyelight. And that's all I know. 'Ow long 'ave I been gone?" "Long enough to make me gray-headed," Fairchild answered with a little laugh. Then his brow furrowed. "You say you slipped and fell just as you were beginning to see daylight?" "Yes. It looked like it was reflected from below, somewyes." Fairchild nodded. "Isn't there quite a spring right by Crazy Laura's house?" "Yes; it keeps going all year; there's a current and it don't freeze up. It comes out like it was a waterfall—and there's a roaring noise be'nd it." "Then that's the explanation. You followed the fissure until it joined the natural tunnel that the spring has made through the hills. And when you reached the waterfall—well, you fell with it." "But 'ow did I get 'ere?" Briefly Fairchild told him, while Harry pawed at his still magnificent mustache. Robert continued: "But the time's not ripe yet, Harry, to spring it. We've got to find out more about Rodaine first and what other tricks he's been up to. And we've got to get other evidence than merely our own word. For instance, in this case, you can't remember anything. All the testimony I could give would be unsupported. They'd run me out of town if I even tried to start any such accusation. But one thing's certain: We're on the open road at last, we know who we're fighting and the weapons he fights with. And if we're (to be continued) Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN INVESTMENT UNION "I shine to make the flowers grow," said good old Mr. Sun. "And though I keep on working, my work is never done. A GORGEOUS ELF "So all you grown-ups and children and flowers need never have a fear that Mr. Sun will not be here most days of every year." "Of course," Mr. Sun continued, "that little verse is my summer verse and a spring verse and an autumn verse." "I'm Anxious to Hear." "I'm Anxious to "I do hope you Hear." will recite them all to me," said Peter Gnome. "It would give me great pleasure to hear them." "Well," said Mr. Sun, beaming brightly, "it is nice to have one's poetry wanted and asked for and treated thus politely." "I'm anxious to hear the other verses," said Peter Gnome. "Not because I am polite," he added. "You're not rude, though," said Mr. Sun. "No," said Peter Gnome, "perhaps not rude, but I mean that I am not asking you to recite your verses for me because I wish to be polite. "Such is not my reason at all. I really and truly am very anxious to hear your verses." "All right," said Mr. Sun, "and I'd be delighted to recite them to you." "Which one will you recite to me first?" asked Peter Gnome. "Well," said Mr. Sun, "I'm not particular." "I think," said Peter Gnome, "it might be nice to end off with the one about the winter as the winter is the time of the year which we're now having, and so it would be suitable, I think, to end off with that one." "As you say, as you say," grinned Mr. Sun. "Let us hear the autumn one next," said Peter Gnome. So Mr. Sun began: I shine in the autumn 'most every day, When I don't shine I'm hiding away, For I like a game of hide-and-seek, And now and again I hide for a week. I love the bright colors of all the trees, I love the fresh and pleasant breeze, But now and again I take a good rest, For that makes me feel my very best. Mr. Sun smiled upon Peter Gnome. "That is all there is to the one on the autumn, though it is a little longer than the summer one, you see. "Of course the summer is so hot I couldn't think up a longer one for the summer. I did more when the cooler days came, though I have a lot to do with the heat myself." "I should say you did," said Peter Gnome, "and it is a great joke to hear you speak about the heat. "If there is a creature who loves all the heat in the world it is Mr. Sun." "That's true," said Mr. Sun. "You know me, I can see that." "Now for the spring verse," said Peter Gnome. Spring, spring, spring rushes along, As it rushes I sing my song. I sing of the warmth that is to come And the trees come out to hear me hum. The buds burst open and the birds arrive, They're all so glad that they're alive, And I sing and make them feel so fine, As I look down at them and shine! Peter Gnome chuckled and said: "You certainly do keep them warm and you make the buds of the trees come bursting out in a great hurry, too. Oh, once you send them your warm rays there is no keeping track of the spring. It rushes so! A boy looks up at the sun. "But now for the winter verse." "Oh, yes," said Mr. Sun, "I will recite that one for you now." So Mr. Sun be-gan once more: The winter is cold "Mr. Sun Smiled." and freezes the toes. Perhaps the ears, also, and maybe the nose. But it doesn't touch Mr. Sun, for he's far above. up above, Which is something nobody else can do, I'm quite sure that you agree, too! "That was fine," said Peter Gnome, "but I expected the winter poem to be a very long one just to show its dif- ference from the summer. "Your winter poem wasn't as long as your spring and autumn ones. "But no matter, it was a jolly poem anyway!" "It's not the length that counts," grinned Mr. Sun. "It's the poetry and beauty," he ended with a chuckle. Would Avoid Chastisement. Aunt Nettie (sympathizingly)—Why, Edgar, dear, what's the matter? Edgar (sobbingly)—Mamma w- whipped me.

After consulting for days with the manufacturers, it was decided I could have a small stock costing about $1,000.00 providing I could pay cash. Always being a believer in owning a home first, I had bought a lot and built a small house costing just $1,000.00. The next thing to do was find someone who would loan $1,000.00 on this property. After several weeks this was accomplished, and by October the yard was started. You who have been here the past ten years know the result of this start. I have always sold lumber fast from the beginning, working on the theory that a quick turn-over at a small profit was best. Approximately two and one-quarter million dollars worth of lumber and building material has been sold, netting less than FOUR CENTS on the dollar. While the net profits are small, the turnover is large, and a few paltry pennies on each dollar soon count up. We are now unloading our SEVENTY-EIGHTH car of Lumber this year, completing a stock that is second to none in Arizona. DON'T BE MISLEAD Because of the fact that we started small, and there was a day when we did not have a large stock, it is sometimes reported by parties with selfish motives that we cannot fill your orders. When you hear any reports of this nature, just come to our yard and see for yourself. We did start small, but by giving big value for your money we have grown to our present proportions. WE ARE FOR ARIZONA and before another ten years expect to have yards throughout the state. If you live in any city or the country within the limits of our good roads system you practically live in Phoenix so far as our excellent delivery service is concerned. We have recently added another truck to our equipment, making this service even better than before. Try us once and you will stay with us. In the past our business has been practically a cash basis and we have not handled a great deal of contractors' business. However, we can now extend credit to reliable parties, and invite you to have your contractor try our yard, or if you wish we will send you a reliable contractor or capenter and will back him to the limit on your job. We believe Phoenix will soon start on the greatest era of building activities it has ever known and are prepared to take care of anything in the building line. You are invited to inspect our plant, where you will find a large and complete stock. No matter what you want in the building line you will find material here that will suit you. We are conveniently located, our stock is kept in the best possible condition and can be readily inspected. Our employees have been with us a long time and understand their business and are more than glad to help you in every way to get what you want for your particular purpose and save you all they can.
