Saturday. Warder is eager to see the
 Indians play the normal school again.
 and he is certain they will give the
 normal girls all they are looking for
 Miss Harvey. who is in charge of the girls of the Indian school, is so pleased
 with their performance and the man.
 ner in which they nave been handled
 by Warder that she win try to arrange
 a game with Tempe next Saturday.
 The Indians have learned to make baskets from everp position of the
 court and have also learned to guard
 much better. Warder thinks it is through their inability to guard that
 they lost the game to Tempe. He will
 leave for Tempe on Tuesday and
 guard the interests of the girls there
 and instruct them in team work which
 has been lacking in their plays. Too
 mucn individual play does not win
 games. It is team work and fast play ing.

 THoRNLEss cAcTUs-It is sug- gested that Luther Burbank has no | monopoly of the thornless cactus busi-
 ness. There are two plants in tn, capitol grounds belonging to the fami- ly popularly known as the prickly pear that are practically without thorns. That is, they are SO tnornless that cattle may eat them with impuni- thorn would be. These little hairs lunches scattered over the surface at intervals in the places where the thorns would be. There little hairs are so nearly thorn that if the fin
 ger is rubbed over them some of them will stick in after the manner of d tiny redwood splinter. However. these irritating hairs are not of sufficient importance to be called thorns by the range cattle which love to browse on the mesquite beans and leaves among which are real thorns. One of these | plants referred to is a very large one,
 probably ten feet hign and covering a wide space. The other is quite small. There is a bit of real human l interest in a statement made yester- | Gay to a reporter that is repeated for the benefit of all who care to read. | That was that when one gets his fin 1 gers full of the little hairy thorns re- ferred to above and which are too small to pick out successfully with a needle, the best way to get rid of them | is to draw the fingers through the i hair. The writer did not choose to. i load up his fingers in order to eXpeTi- ment, but those who care to may do | so.
