SECTION THREE.

HuDHOOD always appeals to
those who have passed that hap
~ DIV springtime of life. and this
week has surely belonged to the chill
dren. as in merry throngs they have
gathered at the schools and have eager
" renewed the friendships that have
lapsed during the summer And no
more interesting groups can be found
than at the High school building,
where the charming young society buds
and the manly cadets are again enter
ing upon year OF strenuous work
1t has been said the freshman year
may well be called a Comedy Of Err
rors," vet to those who are but enter
ing upon their work at the High school
there is more of tragedy than comedy
in the events that occur during that
mOmentOus first year Everybody
seems to COnspire to make life d burden
10 the timid youth who wanders with
frightened mieu from room TO room,
stumbling upon groups of mighty Sc
niors, entering the sacred precincts
where the juniors hold forth, or at
tempting to make friends with the sec
ond-year men, who greatly resent such
familiarity upon the part Of the
scrubs"
No graduating student is more pOmp-
Gus IN the hard-earned glory Of his Sc
nior year than are the lOrdly sophie
mOres, who, having passed through ten
long, weary months of torture, are more
than willing to pass along to the incOm-
ing students the trials and fluctuations
that had beset them in the preceding
year.
Then the busy juniors, who, after two
years of deSulJOTy work, have suddenly
awakened to a realization that there
T-T.
that with their senior year already
looming upon the horizon, it behooves
them TO work without ceasing" So
with an armful of books and a most
learned air they hurry through the
halls with barely a nod for the other
students.
Every one recognizes the lofty Sc
niors. with their self-assurance and a
Jealousy of their prestige, that makes
their every utterance a challenge to the
others to show their mettle or sink into
complete oblivion.
But with all their rivalry, the COM
mon love for their alma mater makes
then a unit in all the school events, and
the mischievOus pranks Of any student
are reliShed by each and every member
of the student body, whether he be first
year, second year or upper classman.
In the midst Of the earnest work that
is done by the boys and girls there can
always be found time for a little frivoli-
ty, such as class parties, senior
spreads and the cadet dances. Already
the social season among the students
has begun with the delightful hop
given on Friday. The affair was COM
plimentaTy to the cadets, whose sol
6ierly bearing and manly conduct at
Seattle has made them a source of SO
much pride to Salt Lake. And it is
whispered that other affairs viii soon
be given 70 do honor to these boys.
and as they viii reciprocate I'm kind, a
jolly social season in High school cir
cIes may be counted upon.

A Cochise Farmer
 Has Loaded Chickens

A new settler who has small farm 4 few miles from Cocbise, doe. not dare to trampls on a small portion of it and is afraid to eat his own hens eggs. Heavy fowls he had been fat. tening for Christmas are immun e from death for the present. so far as his killing them IS concerned.
 Dynamite is tte cause of his trouble. He opened two one-pound sticks Of the explosive, into which little frost had found its way, and after break ing the cylinders into pieces spread them cn flat stone in the sun to dry. He meant to use the dyna. mite ou h's land he is clearing.
 When he went to get the explosive after Ee had drilled holes under mes. quite roots he saw a flock of his hens scratching in the dynamite and eat. ing it AS they would eat small gravel. That's why the farmer does not dare eat his own hens eggs, for he fears particles of dynamite may turk in the shells.
 "Who knows where that dynamite they ate is now" he said, sadly. Suppose it's got into the shells! Think I'd run the risk of cracking one of those eggshells? Yet how are ycu going to eat eggs without breaking the shells?"
 And there's the story in an eggshell. The puzzled settler cannot tell by the looks of his hens which ate the dypa- mite; therefore, he doesn't dare to eat any of them at Christmas. As for swinging heavily on their heads with an axe, he shudders at the thought. The settler begged the reporter of THE PRGsFEC TOR not to use his name.

Predict Cattle Famine
 for the Next Year

That there Is to be cattle famine next year such ss the United States has never known is tine prediction Of many cattlemen in Arizona.
 The plsinest of reasons are given for this prediction. It will be remember cd that when the calving season came las. spring, the COWS were in poor con- dition on the ranges. Just abont the time the COWS came in the rains fell sufficiently to improve conditions, but it was too late to increase the number of calves, and the result is that the ranges of Arizona and Sonora and practically the whole Southwest have now upon them only seventy per cent oi the number of yearlings or yearlings to be that is customary at this season of the year.
 The Dispatch, commenting m the condition, says that one cattlenan, who makes Douglas his headquarters, stated that his herds did not produce half the number of calves they have been producing from year to year. The same condition is reported from all the csttlemen in the adjacent valleys and in Sonora.
 This cannot help making 6 famine in the beef market, for though the cattle are marketed often direct from Wyoming. Montana and Kansas, the yeArlings usually are sent out of the southwest to be grszed and fsttened in the north.
 Csttlemen are already forecasting the situation, and as a result are ask ing higher price. for their stock. Tn advance of the cattle famine, the price of pigs has also gone up, and one man in 6 position to know said that one of the big packing houses was paying eight cents pound for pigs, whereas two years ago the same stock could have been bought for three cents.
