PETITION FOR HALVORSON
Parents ASK Trustees to Retain the High
School PRINCIPAL.

The selection oe Prof Jamison to
be the principal of the Clifton high
school for the year 1911 has caused
protest to be filed with the board of
trustees The protest took the form
of petition which was signed by the
parents of nineteen of the pupils who
will attend the high school next Year.
The petition presented to the board
in favor OF the retention of Prof.
Halvorson as principal of the high
school, recites his good work in this
district for the past five years and
his splendid qualifications attested by
scholarships which meet the qualif-
cations imposed by the school laws of
Arizona. 1 is further set forth that
the present standing of the Clifton
high school has been in a great meas
ure due to the earnest and conscien-
tious la bors of Prof. Halyorson The
petition further states that the prin-
cipal selected by the board does not
possess the qualifications as set forth
in the school laws of the territory.
It>is understood that two members
of the board, Messr;. Niblock and
Tappjn, favor Prof. JamisOn as the
principal of the high school,. John
Grimes, third member of the board, is
said to favor. Prof. Halvorson being
retained in his present position, and
his position is sustained by a two
thirds majority of the parents whose
children will attend the high school
next year.
The action of the board has been
the subject of discussion among the
high school students and their parents
during the week. According TO a
no charges were filed against Prof.
Halyorson It is said a majority of
the board, however, desired to make
change
FROM present indications the action
of the board in dismissing Prof Hal
vorson will not be allowed to stand
without a contest. The statement IS
made that Trustee Niblock does not
possess the legal qualifica tions to
serve the district as school trustee,
being neither taxpayer, in the
meaning of the statutes,-nor the par
cut or guardian of child of school
age. 1t is probable that a protest
Will be fled with the county school
superintendent. Another matter that
will probably come before the school
superintendent is the charge that
Prof. Jamison does not possess the
qualifications required of a high
school teacher The contracts with
the teachers were 20 have been signed
Wednesday evening, but the entire
matter has been put over for further
consideration.

NoUeListS Not Reliable
Authority on GunOLogy

"Of all the fool people that are let
loose in fiction" exclaimed the gun
crank as he dlsgustedly threw across
the room the magazine he had been
reading, "the alleged gunfighter Is the
worst! Why don't the authors who
want to put shooting into a novel at
least go to gun store and see what a
revolver or a rife looks like before
they try to write about It!
Magazine editors who go in for
that sort Of fiction ought to have
gun editor who would know the differ
ence between a derringer and scatter
gun, and who would at least be aware
Of the fact that 1t isn't the trigger that
clicks when you cock shooting iron
of any although ignorant novel
lists have been producing thrills and
shivers in equally ignorant readers
with that click of the trigger so long
that the mistake has become a classic.
Nov, here's an author" and the
gun crank picked up the magazine he
had Just thrown down and found the
sentence which had set him off.
Here's an author who makes one of
his characters, represented as a crack
a-jack with a gun Of any sort, 'twirl
the cylinders of his revolver with the
practiced thumb as he gets ready to
shoot! How many cylinders does
that author think a revolver has, any
way, and what does he think the cylin-
der is for, and what does he sup
pose would happen to man who stop
ped to play with his gun in that way
when somebody else had the drop on
him?
And the other day read about an
other fighting man in a novel who,
his creator alleged, had carefully fled
away the trigger spring of his rife
And I've been trying ever since to fig
ure out what the author supposed
himself to mean and what he imag-
ined he was going to make his hero
accomplish by such an asinine pro
ceeding as that.
But it's no use trying to find sense
in such stuff. There isn't one novel
writer in a thousand, anyway, who
would know the difference between
six-shooter and a skyscraper!"

Recorder Joe F. Tebben, who re-

his resignment as member of the

A Medicine That Does Not

The active medicinal ingredients of
Rexall Orderlies, which are odorless,
tasteless and colorless, is an entirely
new discovery. Combined with other
extremely valuable ingredients, it
forms perfect bowl regulator, intes-

Rexall Orderlies are eaten like candy
and are notable for their agreeableness
to the palate and gentleness of action.
They do not cause gripping or any disa-
Rreeable effect or inconvenience.
Unlike other preparations for like
purpose, they do not create a habit,
but instead they overcome the cause of
habit acquired through the use of ordi-

physic, and permanently remove the
cause of constipation or Irregular bow

Solicitor Johnson read the law re-
garding the Overdrawal of funds, and
said that as the law was imperative
that clerk should not permit any fund
to be Overdrawn, some proceedings
should be had to protect the clerk in
issuing orders.
The Solicitor also said he didn't be-
lieve council had any jurisdiction over
the treasurer, but the intent of the law
was that he deposit the village money
in the depositaries as a whole and that
he take up all orders issued upon the
treasury by the clerk and give his in
vidual check on the depository.
