safe to predict that owing to the low
initiation fee being IN force till the first
OF May. the camps membership will

MISSION.

A Mission will begin at ST. John
the Baptist Church on Monday,
the 2Sth, instant. The sermons
will be delivered every evening
during the week, at the same
hour, by Father GroElau of the
Dominican Order, who is at pres
ent preaching Lent at st. Louis
Cathedral in New Orleans. Faith
er Groliau is one of the best
French orators in the United
States. Therefore, we have rea-
son to believe that those who
will come to hear him once, will
be so eaptivated by the force of
his eloquence, that they will not
miss one OF his sermons follow
ing their first visit.

Rally Days.

Rally Days are great stimuli in the
cause of education. They have done great
good in the past. and to-day are doing
greater good; indeed they have an estab-
hshed function IN our educational system
towards furnishing the highest type of
healthy emulation. From the parish Raj
ly Day in Louisiana, they grew to district
and later to the State Rally Day at Baton
Rouge, a conyoeation day for all the
High Schools of Louisiana. The day is
past when Athletics and manual training
were seperate from Education. Some
great man has said that true education
is that which fits one for complete living.
and we would readily infer that educa-
tion is best which Is productive of the
greatest moral, mental and physical
growth.
Ii is inherent IN all children to pro-
duce, to exhibit. to contest. and to excel.
if possible. Children seldom know Of
superior powers existing in other chill
dren unless brought in actual contact
with these superior powers, and often it
happens that bright children fail to real
ize their own strength unless measured
with those possessing lesser strength.
And mankind grows, by contest and
competition. Boys and girls meet each
other on the Oiympian fields. with equal
chances and determined spirits. and the
stronger prevails. but the weaker is made
stronger by the test. They learn in these
receptive aud impressive stages to stand
upon the field of honor as did our ances
tors of old and display their physical
skill and mental attainments and moral
growth. They strive to do better because
TO do better is right and to do better is
to excel, not necessarily to excel ones
opponent but the greater victory of ex
ceiling ones own best record. To per
form skillfully and well upon the Ath-
letic Field the feats of Discus and ham,
mer throwing. pole vaulting and sprint
ing, to stand before multitude of spec
tators and debate or deliver an Grafton
or recitation is indeed momentous task,
but the valuable experience derived is
greater still.
Last year was the first Rally Day held
in this parish. Few knew what consti-
tuted Rally Day, but it proved an
overwhelming success, and this year be-
ing better organized, and the children
better trained, we should expect greater
results.
The feats as generally outlined are as
follows: Athletics: Hammer throwing,
Discus throwing. shot put, standing and
running broad jump and running high
jump, high vault, 100 yd. dash. 220 yd.
Relay race, liz mile run and Girls and
Boys basket Ball games. (2) Literary ::
Grafton, Glee Club. (3)
Art Contest !: Original Drawing. crayon
or water color or painting, map drawing
and Manual training display etc.
Besides the above there will be Spell
ling contests.
We hope that the interest this year
will be greater than ever before and the
better.

The County
 Campaign is On

This year all candidates for county offices must be nominated at primary elections to be held on the fret Tues day in Ssptemher.
 The Coch.se board Of supervisors have already called for 8 registration of voters and the Secretary of the Territory must issue the notice for the holding of the primaries at least ninety days before the date of holding the same, This means that unless the statehood bill becomes . law before this month then the summer cam psigu may we'll be said to be on.
 The summsr campaign will be a fight for the nomination; the fall cam psigu will be a 6gh, for the election. From all appearances the two cam psigns in Cochise county will be ey- citing ones even though they may be expensive for the candidates.
