PREHISTORIC CURIOS
 FOUND BY CHANCE
Discovered By Mexican While Dig ging an lrrigating Ditch South of tke River.

There is no limit to what a farmer may hope to do in Arizona If he don't get rich raising farm products he is liable any minute to dig up valua- bles of the most unexpected is:nG and in the most unexpected places. That is due to the fact that the present civil ization here is built on the ruins of a former civilization of which little is known and anybody may any day stumble into the gold laden vaults of the first national bank of prehistoric Salt river valley.
 Yesterday a Mexican named Gutter reg brought to the office of Col C. w. Johnstone in this city an aggregation of relics that he ran across while dig ging a ditch. His idea is to sell them and buy more frijoles to eat while he is digging more ditch. He said that in his ditch digging enterprise across the river south of Phoenix he broke into what seemed to be a sort of cave. It is likely it was protected room of some prehistoric building. buried by the debris of ages. Anyhow the relics were unlike most of the curios of sim liar sort in that they were clean and bore little evidence of contact with the dirt and water.
 Among them are three stone axes, one being almost perfect. Among the most interesting pieces are two little

CELEBRATION OF THE
 FOURTH IN MORALES
The People of the Line Cities Made It An intermediate Event.

Governor Kibbey and Col J. H. Me Clintock returned home Monday morning from Nogales where they went to participate in the Fourth of July festivities They were accom- panied by Sims Ely. territorial auditor who will remain in southern Arizona for few days on official business.
 The governor and party were roy ally treated and were made the guests of the city being entertained however at the home of Con O'Keefe the chair man of the committee of arrangements for the celebration. The visitors were treated with the greatest hospitality possible.
 Nogales was full of people and the most friendly feeling exists between the population on both sides of the line. Nogales, Sonora was about as demonstrative and as literally deco rated as was Nogales, Arizona. On a pole planted on the international line was a huge picture of two -clasped hands one representing Mexico and the other the United States. Nogales Mexico came across the line almost en masse to aid in the celebration.
 Owing to death in fffsrofficial fam fly Acting Governor Cubillas of So- nora was not present but the Mexican federal officers in Nogales and most of the Sonora judiciary were present to enjoy the festivities and greet Gov ernor Kibbey. Frank J. Duffy was the chairman of the meeting for the ora tor sirss.1 L. speech and gracefully introduced the other speakers.
 Judge 0'Connor read the declaration of independence and Governor Kibbey delivered a good address on the sub ject of good citizenship. Tn the even ing there was parade and an i'm promptu reception in the Montezuma hotel.

LaPorte, in northern Indiana, near

WHEN We WERE TWENTY-0N

Things collegiate have changed
greatly since the days when we were a
college chap and this change not
only relates to atbletics-baseball foot
ball-and the manner of wearing the
hair, but it includes the length of the
college term.
Within recent colleges through
out the II have been shortening
the scholastic year, and now in NAM
institutions Of learning, especially in
the South, commencement exercises
take place in May instead of June, as
summer vacation is longer by four
weeks thar it was 25 years go. The
principal reason for the change is
traced to hot weather. College stu
dents make little Roadway in their
books after a warm spell sets in, and
educators concluded that nothing was
gained by continuing the academic
term through June, as in years gone
by.
Men accustomed to toll all the year
round are seldom at their best in the
month of June, and boys and girls feel
the e~nervating effect OF heat even more
quickly than their seniors; or at least
they imagine they do, which, in their
case, amounts to the same thing. There
has been some movement in educa-
tional circles toward a return to the
old fashion OF holding back commence
ments until the last of June, but to
change from the present system would
be a mistake. 1t is not well to force
the mental processes of the yonng or
to compel study when spring fever is
in the blood. Their is certainly moth
ing to be gained by it in the long run.
