Billie, the Dog, Chased Motor Wheel
 Once Too Often.

There k considerable sorrow in Nor nal circles this week over the unfOrtu- nate and accidental death of Billie the Scotch Collie dog. Billie has been a member of the Normal family ever since he was q small pup and the older he grew, the more he became endearcd m the hearts of the Normal students
 Billie's death was the natural result and consequence of a bad habit he formed in his youth. Motorcycles and automobiles always had peculiar fascination for him. Nothing pleased hlm as much as running after motor wheel. once. year or so ago. he followed a machine to Phoenix and it was some months before he was re- covered
 The other day. filled with the ex- uherance of spring. BiIli, was cnga sed m his customary sport of chasing a motor cycle. Like the man on al crowd - cd street. who dodges the ear on one track to be struck by another on a different track. Billie failed to notice that an automobile was just behind him He was too intent upon the mo tor wheel. As he slacked up his speed little preparatory to giving up the chase. the automobile struck him and crushed out his life.

Meeting Was Aot Adjourned
 Until Midnight ELECTION OF TEACHERS
Superintendent and Three Other Members of Facul- ty Re elected. There Will Be Two New Members of the Teaching Force

Ii was after midnight yesterday morning whcn the joint session "f the trustees of the Union high-sch"ol and grammar school boards adjourned. Tine meeting was one of much more than the average length and q good deal was accomplished in the course of the evening.
 The most important matter and the one that was probably of most interest to the public was the election of the school superintendent The result Uf that election appeared very briefly in yesterday mornings paper. Superin- tendcnt Scudder was elected with single opposing vote. IL was known that there was some opposition to Professor Scuddcr's rcappointmcnt and the outcome of the joint meeting was awaited with interest by the pub lie Notwithstanding the fact that some criticism of the management of the school has been heard in general way. when the board came to take up the appointment of the superintendent there was nothing before that body to indicate that any opposition exist ed; that is to say. mo one had filed any complaint Or ccnsure: no charges of any sort. Consequently no other ap- pications for the position were consid- cred and when the vote was called. all were ayes with the exception of one. Levi Walker voting in the negative. That matter having been satisfac- torily settled. the election of the other teachers was taken up Prof Karl McMurray. Miss Anna Stewart and
  reelected and as au expression of it's appreciation of their services. the board raised the salary of each one hundred dollars for the term.
 The position of manual training tedchcrshrdnun nnu nun 'unaoFd h I'd teacEer and music and elocution were evidently in much demand. There were numerous applications for both posi- tiOns and each application V,s accom- panied bN q voluminoUs quantity of recommendations. It was the consid- eration of these applications and rec concentrations that detained the board until such q late hour
 For the position of manual training. was accepted and he was so notified. In case he may not now still be de- sirous of accepting the position. an other fit candidate has been decided upon as second choice. Professor Jennings is competent to teach not only the manual training but also the sciences and his work in the high school will consist of those two sub iects. In addition he will have charge of the athletics His salary will be S12j per month.
 The position of teacher in the music and elocution departments has been offered to Miss Ida Rodke. She is highly recommended and if she ac- cents the position. her work will also include several classes in English. Her salary will be sl15 per month.
 With these two additional members to the factuty the high school should this coming year he in position to better work than ever before. The arrangements between il and the grammar schools are virtually un- changed though it is probable that this coming year the superintendent v,ll devote little less time to the. public school

CONDITIONS ARE GOOD
 FOR CAATALOuPE CROP

According to a number of the local growers of cantaloupes. as well as those who have been in the business heretofore. the conditions of the vines at this time of the year indicate an eX- cellent crop. The principal feature of the Mesa section, as far as cantaloupes are concerned this season, $ in the small amount Of acreage. IL is not known exactly the number If acres signed up in the association tEis year, but it has been estimated that there are approximately 200 acres planted to cantalOupes in the Mesa section this rcar.
 The small acreage is understood to not only exist in this section but in other sections coming in competition with the Mesa product as well. The idea seems to be that this year will see not only d good crop. but also some very good prices.
