He is ardent radio fan, and has built a superhetrodyne set that is very powerful. On more than one oc- cagion he has located England and Germany by his "finder," but on this occasion he picked up a station quite out of the ordinary.

It is a difficult task to write a resume of the life of John Mac- Arthur without dwelling upon his in- tegrity and fine character and this would seem like fulsome praise, con- trary to his wishes and well known modesty. ; John MacArthur came to Colorado in 1882. He lived at Grand Junction where he served as deputy sheriff and held other political offices, Coming to Monte Vista in 1888, he accepted position as book-keeper with the Travellers Insurance Company, later he was appointed which ' position he held ever since, "Perhaps Mr. MacArthur's: greatest work was performed in his business position through which he assisted farmers of the north valley in their irrigation and land problems.

He was elected as Senator from the dis- trict in 1920 and served one biennial Are OME fellows are sure rough on tires--slam on the brake and slide a yard or two in stopping-- drop in the clutch and spin the rear wheels in * It may save a few minutes running time--it may ' even look a little "showy" to the man on the side- Wallcsimut the yaal driver. knows that ft eam. ~~ miles off the running life of the tires.
