GRASSHOPPERS NUT SLOW ANSWERING
 SUMMONS
Keep on Keen Jump Un- til Advertiser Was
 Swamped

"WANTED-Grasshoppers; will pay , cents each for fat ones. Al Will liams, Ford hotel"
 This startling want ad was inserted in a Phoenix paper a few days ago, says the Phoenix Republican. The re- suits were immediate At this time of the year when the frosty nights have set in the supply of grasshoppers is not so large as earlier in the sea- son. Al Williams wanted a few grasshoppers and he got them. For the particular purpose for which the hoppers were wanted one or two dozen would have been ample. When he had finally convinced the last boy that he did not want any more hOppers the front office of the Ford was full of them. They got in the ink bottles and trailed black streaks across the register; they hoped to and down the bar, and revelled in a puddle of beer on the floor.

SOMETHING IS ON IN EDUCATIONAL
 CIRCLES
Territorial Board Will Conduct A Complete
 Investigation
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Within the next few weeks the ter ritorial board of education will meet in Phoenix to hear the charges pre- ferred against Superintendent s. H. Mcclure of the Yuma schools by President K. c. Babeoek of the Uni versity of Arizona.
 Much secrecy has been maintained by teachers regarding the identity of the superintendent President Babcock scored when the teachers were in session in Phoenix, but it leaked out that Mcclure is the educator to whom Babcock had reference.
 Little can be learned about the na- ture of the charges Babcock will make, but it is understood that he will accuse Mcclure of making un- truthful statements, though in just what they consisted only Babcock and a few others appear to know.
 Babcock furnished the only sensa- tion of the Arizona Teachers insti- tute during fair week and in the ab- senee of anything else of the kind it furnished the educators much food for thought and a subject for much comment.
 There was no hesitancy on the part of Babcock while addressing the teach CTS and though he did not name the object of his accusations he made them plain enough as to what he al- legged to be the guilt of "an Arizona school superintendent"
 Governor Sloan has requested that the meeting of the territorial board to hear the charges against Mcclure be set for a time when he can be present. The members of the board are the following:
 Governor R. E. Sloan, chairman; Kirke T. Moore, territorial school su- perintendent; E. E. Kirkland, terri torial treasurer; Kendrick c. Bab- cock, president University of Arizona A. J. Mathews, president of Tempe Normal; Dr. J. H. Blome, president Flagstaff Normal; Henry G. Robert son, superintendent Mesa choOls; John D. Loper, superintendent Phoenix schools

brought with him an armadillo. This animal was presented to Williams and Haffner and they added it to their menagerie. The armadillo was asked feet his dinner. He turned up his nose at all the delieaeies. Williams got out a book on "Animal Life in the Tropics'' and learned that the armadillo's delight is ants and grass hoppers. Williams decided to provide his pet with two dozen grasshOppers on the half shell. Hence the adver- tisement.
 Friday morning a small army of boys invaded the Ford hotel Some had pasteboard boxes with holes punched through the cover. From within there sounded a continual humping like someone knocking on the front door. Others brought paper bags full of hoppers, and still others had them loose in their pockets. Some of them were as big as humming birds and escaped while they were being counted. Others were malicious ly released in the office when it was learned that Williams would buy no more of them at the prevailing rate of five cents a head. The intelli- gent insects hopped about the floor and the chairs and alighted gently on the coats and sleeves of the guests. The hotel looked as though it had been stricken with the plague of seventeenth-year lOeusts.
 Yesterday the armadillo was taken in charge of l.. LaChanee, of the Wakelin grocery, who will be it's keeper for the present and see to its education.
 Williams was asked yesterday what he did with the surplus of Chops"
 ''I shipped them to a big beer brewing company" he responded eheerfully.

DEADLY CIGARETTE Is
 AGAIN IN EVIDENCE

BISBEE, Ariz., Nov. 22.-RusseH Moke, an employe of Schwartz Bros, had an exceedingly narrow escape from being burned to death or smoth- cred in his sleep last night at the Loekie house. A cigarette he had been smoking ignited the covers on his bed. He was awakened by the rising fumes of burning cloth and found his bed smOuldering and ready to break into flames. He quickly the fire and suffered nothing worse than a seorehed wrist.
 MT. Moke was T, ding in bed with a lighted cigarette in his lips and dozed off to sleep, the "smoke" fall ing from his lips to the bed and set ting the coverings on fire. If he had slumbered a few moments longer he would probably have either been burned or smOthered to death, as the smoke was becoming more dense each minute and flames ready to break out when he awOke.

PROOF IS
 REQUIRED DEC. 30
Important Information Received at The Arizona Land Office Regarding
 This Valuable Property.

The Phoenix Republican has the following important news article re- garding the Parker townsite:
 The register and receiver of the land office yesterday received from the commissioner of the general land office a letter of great importance to those who are making proof of prefer enee rights to lots in the townsite of Parker, and of still greater importance to those who propose to do that but have not yet started proceedings. The letter limits the time in which such proof can be made to December 30. It calls attention to the fact that though the public sale of lots has been post poned indefinitely, or rather to some date not yet announced, the making of preference right proofs may pro- eeed until December 30 but not later than that.
 It is reiterated that those who have begun the formal proceeding for mak- ing such proofs, should keep right on and the hearings must be held on the dates now advertised. There is nOth- ing for them to do but complete the filings started, and this reiteration is important to them only in that they should not get the idea that by reason of the postponed public sale there is no need of hurry. That post in no way affects them.
 But the most important thing is the
Weekly journal-miner., 1909-11-24

necessity for the quickest possible &C.,
 tiOn on the part of those who have
 not yet made their filings, but intend to and keep putting it off from day
 to day. Under the law there must be thirty days publication before Deeem-
 Der 30 and as it takes a day or so to make their filings and get their mo- tiees into print, it is quite apparent that they should have their filings made so that publication may begin not later than November 2S, which is next Sunday. If the filings are not made and all the details attended to before that time, it is altogether like ly that they might as well not be made at all. The time to act then, is right now and get the matter cleaned up as early as possible this week.
 The time is so short that it is oe- sirable that as much publicity as pos sible be given the above facts. The local land office receives a heavy mail daily concerning matters in connection with the Parker townsite, but in this instance it is believed the press can do a favor to those entitled to prefer enee claims by giving them the infor- nation more quickly and more geaer- ally than through the channels of indi- vidual correspondence, though, of course, every possible bit of informa- tion is given out also in the regular way.

 MT.
