RANCHERS ARE SLOW
DISPOS|KG OF GRAIN

According to all reports the ranch
ers this season are very slow in dis
posing of their grain crop. Up until
yesterday there had been practically
no wheat and very little barley Of
fered for sale at any of the places buy
ing grain in the vicinity of Mesa and
the south side. II is the general inn
preston that the reasons for the APP
parent slowness of offerings is on ac-
count of the low price. Just how the
difficulty will be remedied remains to
be seen. 1t is understood that the
buyers are claiming that the market
is off all over the, west and that the
ranchers are sure that if they can hold
their grain long enough that the price
is bound to get better. There are five
machines at work in the vicinity of
Mesa and it is a we'll established fact
that there is large amount of grain
ready for the market as soon as the
ranchers get ready to sell.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES
WERE WELL ATTENDED
The Last Appearance of the High
School Class.

The commencement exercises given
at the Auditorium of the Mesa Union
high school Friday evening were well
attended, the room being crowded
with friends and relatives of the young
people. The stage was decorated with
the class colors and the motto, Life
Without Labor is Lost" hung in the
background Immediately above which
were suspended ten stars one for each
graduate.
Collins Jones, in a rather brief in
troductory address, as salutatorian,
welcomed the friends of education to
the exercises. This being followed by
Miss Arizona Johnson in an essay on
The American Girl" Miss Johnson
wavered considerably from the beaten
paths and injected considerable orig
inality into her address. Another
thing she advocated equal suffrage
and favored the idea that the Amer
lean girl is able to take care of her
self without the trouble occasioned by
having a man around. Howard Peter
son in his address on THE Man of the
Hour acquitted himself very credit
ably The class poem by Joe Perkins
which is given below was loudly ap-
plauded as the numerous references
were made to different members of
the class. Miss Minerva Sanders in
the class prophecy read the palms of
each of the graduates and expressed
10 the audience just what she found
there. The readings caused much
merriment for the audience and much
embarrassment for the particular in
dividuals who were having thier for
tune told.
Miss Alton Clark as valedictorian
handled her subject, The Royal Path
OF Life" in a very entertaining man
ner. Miss Clark is perfectly at home
on the stage and her delivery was
splendid.
Professor ]. II. Lopez of the Phoenix
schools presented the diplomas and
took occasion to give a short resume
of the graduating class, saying that he
remember a few years ago, when
there were between fifty and seventy
five Youngsters just starting to the
Mesa schools and that now that num-
Der had been thinned until only ten
had finished the course. Professor LO-
per was given AN ovation when he
arose To make the presentation speech
which he doubtless could not help but
appreciate.
The music was furnished by the
high school chorus and semi chorus
under the leadership of Mrs. Ruth
Huber, the teacher of music. The
eighth grade girls sang the Good
Night song after which Rev. Morris
NJ. Blair who had previously rendered
the invocation. pronounced the bene-
diction. The giving of flowers follow
ed but no presents were given the
graduates on the stage. George w.
as president Of the board
of education presented to Phil Peter
son the boards medal for the highest
grades made during the school year.
Mr. Peterson's grades having averag-
ed ninety eight. The Republican medal |
for the best single debater was given |
to Miss Hilda Ellsworth

DYNAMITE CAP
CAUSE OF ACCIDENT

Further investigation of the accident
which occurred at Weeks station de-
veloped the fact that a dynamite cap
was responsible for the tearing away
of the thumb and the first and second
fingers on the right hand of the 13-
year-old son of Willard Johnson and
the serious injury to the eyes of the
1O-year- old son of j. H. Minter. The
lads were brought to Mesa about mid
night Friday night in charge of the
physicians and their wounds
were dressed again yesterday. The
fathers of the two lads engaged a car
at the Mesa garage and made record
breaking time to the scene of the ac
cident. 1t is impossible to state yet
whether the Minter boy will lose the
sight of his eye or not.

BOB SMITH AT THE MESA
OPERA HOUSE.

Bob Smith, the well known enter
appeared at the Mesa opera
house last night under the auspices
of the high school. Mr.. Smith is from
Mississippi and his delineation of the
southern characters apparently comes
with ease. He is especially happy in
his delineation of the old time darkey.
Humor and pathos are disseminated
with equal ease and abandon.
