August 10, 1919,
Today was one of the biggest
days in the history Of our school
the Brakebill school. Prof. Elvis
Abbott, who is teaching at Foster,
brought his school over and met
our school in a spelling match and
ball game. Foster came by 10
o'clock aud the two schools took TO
business IN the spelling contest and
for about two hours il was very
doubtful who would be the yictors.
When the contest closed, aud tallies
counted, Brakebill won by the
small margin of two scores. The
ball game was as hotly contested
aud proved a very interesting one.
Some good playing was done on
both sides. Brakebill took the lead
by making four scores in second
inning and shutting Foster out till
the fourth inning. At this point
Brakebill went to pieces and Foster
scored eight times. Foster took
and kept the lead. But, IN the
seventh and last inning a home run
was made by BrakebIl's teacher,
Jack Hogan, this put new life into
everybody and a fight for the game
began in dead earnest. When the
third man laid down his bat the
score stood IS to IL IN favor Of
Foster. Umpires were Mat Hogan
and II. X. ForsheeT
The cordial hospitality of the
Brakebill people, together with
their sumptuous dinner, forever
won the hearts of all present.
c. l.. Gates, the photograph man,
was among the visitors and made
the pictures for the two schools.
At the close of the days work as
the people started home each de-
clared the day had been a very
pleasant one and that these two
teachers deserve much credit for
interest and good work they have
started. The greatest praise how
ever is due the little ones who took
such a hearty interest in the affair
and showed such an admirable
spirit of rivalry.
must say this was one of the
most enjoyable days | ever spent at
school and l have spent many day
in school. ONE VINO WAS THERE.

 This bill. which reduces the time in which he may obtain patent from five to three years, will not only lessen the period of his struggle, but the further provision which permits him 10 be absent from his homestead for five months in each year Will bs of inestimable benefit. He will then have an opportunity to go into other and more settled parts of the country and there. by his labor, ac- cumulate the means whereby he can devote the remaining months of the year to the improvement of his land.
 There are many places in Arizona where water can be developed, either by pumping or by artesian wells, in sufficient quantities to irrigate pron- tably considerable areas.
 But pumping plants and deep wells usually cost more than the limited capital which the homestead to has in his possession. If he can obtain title 10 his land within g shorter period, he comes that much sooner to the time when he has sn asset in the shape of real estate upon which to borrow the money Tor these most necessary improve, ments.

HAYDEN PLEADS FOR
 SHORT HOMEsTEAOS
Congressman Urges House 10 Amend Law Beneficial
 to All Settles

When the lower nonsef of con gress had under discussion the amendment to the homestead law. reducing the term of required resi- denoe from five to three years, Hon. Carl Hayden. representative of Ari- zona, delivered the following remarks In support of the measure:
 MT. Chairman: ] want briefly 10 give my testimony to the eliec' that nowhere in tne United States IS this legislation more needed 10 an in -Arizona.
 "As most of you are well aware, me larger part of the area of my state is desert land, where there can be no cultivation without irri- gation. IL is true that there are comparatively large sections were certain classes Of crops can be grown by a system of dry farm " but any land in Arizona will Iau- dure in greater abundance if the flow of some stream or the water from some well can De applied 10 the land.
 When the homestead law was first adopted it was applied to the lands Of the Middle West, where there was ample rainfall to produce crops. After the nrst year, when me praire was once broken, the home steader had an income from his land, and the amount of that income was generally sufficient 10 keep him and his family supplied with at least the necessities Of life without any outside resources.
 But when the homeseeker reaches Arizona he finds the conditions entirely different. The rule there is that the settler goes upon the land in anticipation of the building or some irrigation enterprise either by the government or by private capital.
 He takes up the land in the hope and oftentimes with an assurance that he will receive water for irri- gation in the near future. But the pestlaid plans Of government 'en- gineers or Of the managers of private enterprises are always subject to un- foreseen delays. The universal Tult has been that the water has not been put upon the land as soon as anticl- pated. The result is that the poor homesteader. chained to his land by the requirements of the law, must either receive outside assistance Tn accumulated capital or by loans to th'
