Sue There is Lille on Venus.

d.. /. J. J. See, the noted ;st.ono-
mer from the Mare Island Naval OBJ
sarvatory. In an address to the stu
dents Of the University of Missouri
recently said that Venus was habitable
and that it was possible and in keep
ing with all the laws of nature that il
was inhabited.
The conditions On Venus are such, -
he said. that man can live there all
right. The atmC sphere and climate are
al most the same as it is here on earth.
Mars is not Sd habitabe as the earth,
but it seems probable that there is
some kind of life there"
DR.. See expressed the belief that on
planets where life of beings on earth
could not exist there would be life of
very different kind. The theory
that planets were formed by matter
thrown off from the sun. he said, had
been exploded. The planets are form
ed he believed, by the attraction of
particles of matter flying through
space.

in the process. This peculiar little
rodent is black and white and has
pink eyes. Its chief popularity is that
at time when baby mice of other
species are just beginning to move
about this terpsichorean mouse is al
ready able to waltz.
Put together. these Japanese dane
ing mice will waltz in couples, and at
times more than two will join in a
mad whirl. So rapid is the movement
of the dancers that it is difficult to
distinguish their heads from their
tails.
The japanese says that waltZing

upright peg forms convenient pivot

Gold Medals for Pupils

Owing to the fact no mention in this paper was made last week of the eighth grade in the list of teachers for the different grades of the Williams public school, some people seem to have received the impression that there is to be no eighth grade.
 Prof. T. H. Cureton will have have charge of that as we'll asthe high school grades.
 It will be of interest to the pupils and to the parents as we'll, to know that the gold medals for perfect daily attendance will be offered as usual by the board of trustees.
 The fact that the apportionment by the state for the Williams school fund is based, not upon the num- Der of children of school age in the district but upon the average daily attendance, should stimulate the parents to use their best efforts to make this average as high as possi- ble.

SCHOOL WILL BEGIN
 TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER

The following teachers have been selected for the term:
 Prof. T. H. Cureton, principal, eighth and ninth grades.
 Miss Myrtle Gravelle, sixth and seventh grades.
 Miss Jennie Daggs, fourth and fifth grades.
 Miss Lucille Vernaz, second and third grades.
 Mics Lava Sughrue, primary.
 Mrs. Hays, assistant primary.
 Miss Mary Watson, manual train tug.
 Miss Anna Bigger, music.
 We haven't the space to discuss individually the qualities of each one of these teachers. but it is suf- ficient to say that they are all teachers professionally trained and with considerable experience in the grades and kind of work to which they have been assigned, and with but few exceptions hold life diplo- mas for teaching in either this or another state. The school board is to be congratulated on it's careful selection of teachers for the com ing year.
 The patrons of the school are UT gently requested to have their chil- dren ready for school on the date mentioned above, and to cooperate with the principal and teachers in all school affairs. It is absolutely necessary for each child to give full attendance in order to make the most rapid progress in school. A day lost from school retards the work of both teacher and pupil and should not be permitted unless in case of sickness or absolute una- voidable circumstances. Perfect attendance pins will be given to those with perfect attendance al the close of the term. Parents are welcome at the school at any time and should visit the teachers who have charge of their children and work with them in furthering the interest of education If anything happens at school that displeases you, don't talk il all over town. but go at once to the principal and talk to him about it. He is man of sound judgment and good reason and will be pleased to consider any complaint.
 With the just co operation of the parents and citizens of Williams this no doubt will be very sue. cessful term. So let us throw al preiudices aside and bury all ill feelings of the past and enter into the new school year with increased interest and confidence and make the term a crowning success.

A total membership of eigh,y is a conservative estimate of the ultimate number.

COCONINO FARMERS ARE
 IN MIDST OF HARVESTS

Mrs. James Morehead, the News correspondent from Maine, was in town Tuesday and reports that she dug potatoes from her garden last week that weighed Nfrom six ounces to pound and found one that tipped the scales at a pound and half. This is the second year that the ground has been broken. Mrs. Morehead has especial req son to be very proud of her success as gardener, for she does all the work with only the assistance of her two small sons. She has a great variety of garden truck and
 has been successful with all of it. According to Mr. Marion Fix the place to see really fine garden is Tat the Daze ranch. There are so
 many beans that they are going to waste and if the frost holds off just
 little while there will be some
 fine tomatoes. Everything is doing splendidlY.
 Mir. Walter Stevens has dug two
 acres of potatoes and received for
 them $250. From all directions
 reports are coming in of the success
 of the potato crop which sounds promising for Coconino county. / Dr. A. G. Rounseville and w. G. Stevens are having their oats cut
 now with Mccormick binders-a
 thing unheard of in the old days
 of haphazard farming. Later the
 oats will be threshed out by a steam
 thresher that will be in the neigh.
 borhood some time soon.

PROF. CURETON IS BACK;
 SCHOOL-KIDS ARE GLAD

Gee, Pm glad Professor Cure toms back" said a small school girl, "'cause I bet we'll have some swings and a lot of things like we used to-"
 Quite likely.
 This probably expresses as we'll as anything the sentiment among all those pupils of the public school who were here three years ago when Prof. T. H. Cureton made his first and favorable acquaintance with the Williams public.
 The professor returns after a three years' absence, during which he has widened cons: derably his ex- perience and deepened materially his Knowledge generally and bring ing with him an enthusiasm that will count for most of all.
 "Why did I come back to Will. iams," said the professor, with, a twinkle of merriment in his eyes, in answer to the question of a friend "Well, for one thing, I was interested to see how that lot of trees had grown that we planted when I was here before. And I'm glad to say that every sort has ex- ceeded my fondest expectations. Think what first aid to munici pal beauty it would be now if we had planted such trees all over the city three years ago."
 When Professor Cureton resigned his positition here three years ago it was to take charge of ap Ameri- can school in Guanaiuanto, Mexico His articles on the social life 1T Mexico, particularly the conditi or of the peon classes. attracted wid' attention. and through them he se tcured a fellowship in Harvard col lege. After two years' work 1T that famous institution of learn ing, in the department of socia science and pedagogy, he departed for his former home in Missour with a degree of A.B. and LL.B and the highest encomiums 0 praise from his fellow workers there Notwithstanding the scholastic honors that are his, the professor is modest to a degree, and waxe loquacious only when discussing future plans for the conduct of th' school and on the subject of th' advantages of living in this part o Arizona and particularly Williams He has demonstrated the sincerity of his expressions of loyalty to th' town by investing his surplus cap ital in houses and lots here-ano expects to increase his holdings a his means permit.
