WHAT rs 1T?

Dear Daddy Jim Here I come
for the first time. / am a South
Georgia girl, thirteen years old, with
light hair, blue eyes and fair COM
plexion. My weight is 112 pounds.
l am in the seventh grade, and my
teachers name is Mrs. Saram Nc
Whorter. Papa takes both the Jeffer-
sonians. and likes them fine. I like
to read the POSTCARD Club. I will
ask some riddles: What is it that
rich man wants, poor man has and
a blind man sees? The man that
made it didn't want it, the man that
bought it wouldn't have it, and the
man that got it didn't know it. To
the one that answers these riddles I
will send postcard, and would like
to receive one from Irene. Well, for
fear of the waste basket, I will close
with much love to the Postcard
Club.-Johnnie Clyde Humphrey,

A LETTER WORTH READING.

Dear Daddy Jim:-In answer to
those questions you asked, | will an
sWer: In the days when men wore
armor, each considered every man
his foe. He did not even raise the
visor Of his helmet unless well guard
ed But in the presence of ladies he
knew that he was safe, and so I'M
covered his head in their presence.
The custom of lifting hats to the la
dies is relic of the old days of
chivalry, when a man raised his visor
in the presence of ladies, and the
present custom, like the old, is
tribute to woman's gentleness and
delicate honor and virtue. We shake
hands with the right hand, because
in the old days when men wore ar
NOR they had their shield on the left
hand, so the right hand could be free
to fight, if necessary, or for any other
action. That old custom has left us
the right hand shake. The word
"Messrs". is contraction or corrup-
ton of the French word "Messieurs"
which means "Misters". The answer
to the riddle given by Rush Wilson,
is the moon. All our family enjoy
Mr.. WatsOn's writings, and are very
much interested in the Sunny South
Brotherhood and the work it pro-
poses to do. I am twelve years old
and in the sixth grade at school, I
am Dutch-Jew girl, born in Florida,
as were my parents. With love for
Daddy Jim, Katinka Meyer, Cocoa,
Fla.
Il am delighted to read and pub
lish this letter. 1t means much for
young folks to learn that the man
ners and customs of today have had
a definite growth, that history is a
live thing, not a valley of dead
bones; and, further, that we are all
of us, even the youngest, actually
and actively making history. Every
thought, word and act of yours and
mine is eternal, with never-ceasing
influence on the future. Now tell me
where the word Goodbye" came
from, and why the written letter l.
has a tail.-Daddy Jim.)

CLAIMS THE VICTORY.

Dear Daddy Jim:-Will you allow
me to join your POSTCARD Club? /

school almost every day. Papa takes
your papers, and gave me the knife
which he received with them. You
bet | am proud of it, too. I am in
favor of the way Mr.. Watson thinks
of Foreign Missions and I have been
criticised severely by some, and have
challenged them to debate, but they
refused because l was child, so
claim the victory. I will answer one
Of Matte Burke's riddles: There was
one man whose name was Each, and
he took a pear, and there remained
eleven more. Hoping this will es-
cape the waste basket, I remain,

BALANCE SMALL IN
 TERRITORIAL TREASURY

Phoenix. Nov 12.-Unless action is taken in the meantime, the territory of Arizona will be broke after the thirtieth day of next June, and there will be no funds for the maintenance of the various territorial institutions.
 The last day of next June marks the close of the fiscal year in the Territory and also sees the end of the time covered by the legislature.
 The last Arizona legislature follow ing the usual procedure, appropri- ated funds to maintain the various Territorial institutions for a period of two years following the expira- tion of the legislative term it being expected that two years from the day of adjournment another Legisla- ture would meet and provide funds for the following two yaers. How ever, the passage of the Enabling Act by Congress provided for no Leg islature in the year that it will take to receive Statehood, and in the meantime the members of the Legis- lature, as well as the various county and Territorial officials, hold over for another year. This means a three year term for, the members of the last Legislature, or an extra year more than was provided for by the Legislative appropriations.
 Governor Sloan is preparing the necessary data touching on the sub jeet and in two or three weeks will leave for Washington to present the matter to the proper authorities. Ii will be within tine province of Con gress to appropriate funds for the Territorial institutions for the extra year, but it is understood the Gov ernor is contemplating an entirely different plan, one that will meet with the hearty disapproval of the various county officials who now set an extra year ID office staring them in the face.
 The plan Governor Sloan has hi upon is to secure the passage by Congress of an act authorizing general election in Arizona, thi' election to be called by the Governol upon his return to the Territory iron the East, and to cover all election positions in the Territory, including members of the Legislature, where upon an extraordinary session wh be called to meet the financial de mands of the Territory.

Has Twenty-Five Pupils Who Cannot Speak
 English
Is Making a Success Of Novel Method Of
 Instruction
CFrom Sundays Daily.)

In making his annual examination of the public schools of the county, Superintendent Persons has encount- cred interesting situations, in one in- stance being fOrcibly Impressed with a condition that at no other point in his jurisdiction is there a counter part-that of the school at Nelson, on the Santa Fe railroad, where not an American child is on the rolls. In addition to that remarkable condi- tion, when school was convened a few months ago, not one of the twen- ty-five scholars had the least con- ception of the English language, be- ing Mexicans.
 Miss Kate Fairchild, who was ap- pointed as teacher, relieved the sit nation of the serious problem and began her arduOus duties with a fairly good knowledge of the Ian guage the little ones knew. She adopted a novel course in instruct ing her pupils. They were given books in English, with an interpre tation in Spanish, and she would read and they would follow her in the English tongue. By, this method she made wonderful progress in in structing the children, and over half have made such progress that they converse fairly well in English and readily understand. her instructions.
 She will not permit her pupils tC ask for anything whatever in the mother togue while in school, mak ing each step to the blackboard and write their wants in, Spanish, wher sne interpEets the same into English
 Miss Fairchild was formerly { teacher at Navajo, in Apache eOun ty, under similar conditions, witf the additional burden of several Nav aio children The Mexieans wer' treated in the same manner as sh' is pursuing today, and the Navajo' likewise, Miss Fairchild possessing sufficient knowledge of the 1ndiaI tongue to carry on an ordinary con veTsation.
 At Nelson she started a nigh school for the male Mexican parent of the children, but this was aband oned when the men were placed ol night shifts at the lime quarries.
 She is very popular and is makini record as a teacher that is inter esting in public school annals O the country.

VENEZIA MINE IS
 RICHER THAN EXPECTED
(From Sundays Daily.)

(From Sundays Dally.)
 While in the city yesterday from the Venezia gold mines, of which he is general manager, E. L. Tomlinson said the new mill is in daily oper- ation, dropping ten stamps on eight hour shifts, and that production is satisfactory. With the completion of the new pipe line it is expected a sufficient flow of water for a twelve hour shift will be secured.
 The mill has been running con stantly since November 3rd, and the first cleanup will be made in a few days. The ore being treated is free milling, and comes from the Venezia mine. Development is ex- eeeding all antieipatiOns in volume of the product, a sufficient tonnage being available to keep five stamps in continuous operation.
 In resuming work a few months ago, under the old workings the best body of ore ever found in the mine was encountered.
 At another point, R. L. Chubb is working under lease a section that is yielding bounteously, sending to the mill for treatment 200 tons of ore received from limited depth, that will plate not less than $50 per ton. He is elated at the result and yes terday increased his force of miners to the full limit.
 In speaking of the bonanza strike made by Ramon Lopez and his two associates, near the camp a few weeks ago, MT. TomlinsOn states that he IS treating the yield at the mill, using five stamps. Lopez has a force ot five miners and keeps a pack train of ten burros on the trail steadily No asserting is made of the ore taken out, and that it will plate at least $50 per ton is established. In addi- tion, a light concentrate is recovered of very high grade.
 Since the announcement of the dis eovery every foot of ground in a radius of many miles has been To- eated. In short, healthy conditions are everywhere noticeable, and SC pronounced as to create the belief that the district is entering its mosi active career in many years.
 The VeneZia now has one ot th' most complete surface equipments II the county, and several new build ings nave recently been erected t' accommodate the force.
