kELLNER RETURNS FROM REMOTE DISTRICT School Superintendent Sur prised at Growth of
 Winkelman

After spending several days in the Winkleman and Christmas districts, w. o. Kelmer, county superintendent of schools returned to this city Friday night, having experienced a very cold and disagreeable trip, but having found the schools in excellent condition.
 At the Winkleman school, the atten- dance is above the average and in the opinion of Mir. Kellner, it will soon be necessary to establish new school at Hayden, the new and rapidly grow ing sister town of Winkleman, located about two miles down the river from the original townsite. At Christmas, the attendance is also large and in both schools, there has been big in crease in the average attendance over last year.
 "The growth of the Winkleman dis trict is surprise to me, ' said MT. Kell- ner yesterday. "The Ray Consolidated is building an excellent railroad into that district and when the big new con centrator is completed, big asset will be added to that part of Gila county.
 "I believe it would be good invest ment for the county to build new wagon road through Dripping Springs wash. This would cut off several miles of travel and would direct consider able amount of trade to Globe, be- ievs.
 "The road is not bad at the present time, as it has been improved toward Kelvin, but a still further improve ment could be made. '

LIFE'S MIRROR.

(By Madeline F. Bridges.)
There are loyal hearts, there are spir-
its brave;
true
Then give to the world the best you
have,
And the best will come back to you
Give love and love to your life will
flow.
A strength in your utmost need:
Have faith and a score of hearts viii
show
Their faith in your word and deed.
Give truth and your gifts will be paid
in kind
And honor will honor meet.
And a smile that is sweet will surely
find
A smile that is just as sweet.
Give pity and sorrow to those who
mourn;
You will gather in flowers again
The scattered seeds from your Thought
outborne
Though the sowing seemed but
vain
For life is the mirror of king and
lis just what we are and do:
then give to the world the best Won
have
And the best will come back to vor
