SWIPED THE ROLL
 WHILE JACK SLEPT

c. Thomas Rider, a young man who blew into town about month ago, attempted get-rick-quick scheme at the Cabinet saloon Sun day night. Rider had a frame made up in the saloon on which he had been making wool yarn shawls and selling them around town, and in this way became familiar with everything around the saloon. The night bartender, Jack Gilman, be- came sleepy during the night and left the colored porter to watch the bar while he took little nap. The porter left the saloon for a few min utes and during his absence Rider slipped behind the bar and tapped the cash register for about $40 in cash. He also got away with box of the best cigars in the case.
 The theft was soon discovered and Rider was at once suspicioned of being the guilty party. Officers were sent to his room and when they accused him of the theft he strenuously denied any knowledge of the affair, but a little search by the officers soon brought to light all the money, except one dollar which Rider had spent. The box of ci- gars he had destroyed by throwing them down the vault in the yard. \ Rider was arrested, given trial before Judge Housewife Tuesday afternoon and sentenced to serve ninety days in the county jail.
 Thus another prisoner is given a nice little time, with room and board, at the expense of the tax payers of the county. When will the board of supervisors wake up and make it possible to put such petty offenders at work on the county roads? A good county road would soon be built between Will jams and Flagstaff, and at practi- cally no expense to the county, if the board would authorize the proper officials to utilize the labor of the buns and sneak thieves sen fenced to jail, in the building of the. highway.

NEW GRAMMAR SCHOOL
 IS SECOND TO NONE
Erected the Old Site Commanding the Town, it is
 Credit to Northern Arizona

1Ht building IS WlreQ TOT electrlc lights and each room contains base plug for the attachment of vacuum cleaner. The auditorium has an outlet for the attachment of stereop- ticon.
 The building is heated with steam throughout and contains two fire bose reels and drinking fountains.
 The hoard of trustees, consisting of F. w. Smith, clerk, Andrew Miller and J. S. Campbell and W. D. Finney, the retiring member, deserve great deal of praise fnr their untiring efforts in obtaining such splendid building, of which the entire community should be proud. The work has progressed without a hitch and the architect and contractors have co-operated with the board in every way, each endeavoring to make monument for himself. The architect was Royal w. Lescher, of Phoenix, the general contractor, M. Tull, of Phoenix, the plumbing and heating contractor, J. H. Mulrein, of Phoc- nix, the plaster contractor, w. S. C. Carson, of Phoenix, the painting contractor, J. c. Simmons, of Will jams and the electrical contractor, The Phoenix Electrical Co.
 All lumber used is native pine, milled by the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber company. The building cost about $2S,O without furnish ings and will be turned over to the district practically free from debt and without one cent of bonded in- debtedness upon the district, most unusual state of affairs and one in which the whole community should rejoice.
 The school year begins September 2 and that evening there will be open house for all to come and look over our modern and fully equipped school building.
 The list of teachers for the term is as follows:
 T. H. Cureton, principal.
 Mrs. Bertha S. Kennedy, sixth and seventh grades.
 Miss Jennie M. Daggs, fourth and fifth grades.
 Miss Hazel Harvic, second and third grades.
 Miss Mary McGinnis, primary and first grade.
 Miss Lava Sughrue, Mexican primary.
 Miss Mary l.. Watson, manual training,
 Miss Bertha s. Peet, music and drawing.

1HC ucW w lllldilS STdlllllldI school, now completed on the site of the old building, is without doubt the largest, most modern and up to date grammar school of any in the state, with the possible exception of the new Adams street school in Phoenix, which is some larger, but not any more modern.
 The style of architecture is mis- sion and the design has been con sistently carried out. The con- struction is the best throughout, the footings being of concrete nearly five feet in width, the foundation of limestone to the height of the first floor and the balance of the walls of brick, thirteen inches in thickness. The outside is plastered with ce- ment plaster, the base being float finish and the balance a slap dash finish. The roof is covered with asbestos composition roofing, being a freproof material, but in the course of four or five years this will probably be replaced with tile, which will add still more to the ap- pearance.
 The interior arrangement is ideal for grammar school, the building being built U-shape, with court in the front and with provision made for adding units of two, four or six rooms in the rear. The first floor has five exits from the corridors as well as an exit to the outside from the auditorium and contains six regulation-size class-rooms, 25x32 feet in size, two smaller rooms which can be used as class-rooms and an auditorium capable of seating from 25O to 300 people, with a large stage and dressing rooms. All class rooms have cloak rooms with lava tories.
 All corridors are unusually wide and the ceilings are of ample height. The light in all class-rooms comes from one side only, doing away with any danger of cross lights so injur- ious to the eyes, and the pupils are seated so that the light comes over the left shoulder only.
 The tower contains a room for the trustees or principal and above this is the belfry..
 The basement contains the toilet rooms with modern fixtures, large room for gymnasium with dress ing rooms and showers off from it, large room for manual training, a fuel room and a fireproof boiler room. All walls are plastered with hard wall plaster and tinted in soft colors, green predominating.

leaving the stem. Wash it under a
move all dust or foreign matter;
hang by the stem until thoroughly
dry. Be sure to select perfect speci-
mems, placing them in the preserving
liquid "a to As hours. Before thor
oughly ripened have your jars clean

Don't get discouraged if the first
attempt does not prove successful, but
keep experimenting until you do sue
ceed Don't fail to properly label the
specimens, giving name, variety,
where and by whom produced.
The formulas follow:
For berries and all fruits.-Clear
water white kerosine is frequently
used with good results with straw
berries, blackberries, raspberries and
currants. Be sure that no drops of
water remain on the berries.
All fruits and vegetables-To every
gallon of water add one-half ounce
corrosive Sublimate. This has given
good satisfaction with nearly all kinds
of fruit and vegetables and should it
become clouded or dim can be re-
newed. Must be handled with eau

in jars with pods cracked open make
nice dispay
For firm, smooth-skinned fruits
To every gallon of water add one
quart of glucose and one-haf ounce

MINE PRODUCTION IN
THE CENTRAL STATES
Values of silver, Copper, Lead and
Zinc Reported by United States
Geological survey ut $64 4,519,44 for
Year 1911,


The United States Geological Survey
has recently published as an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources of
Ghe United states for 191 a report on
the mine production of silver, copper,
lead and zinc in the Central States
an 1911, by b. S. Butler and ]. p.
Dunlop. The total value of the out
nut of these metals in the Central
Ctates in 1911 was Se4,519,444, nearly
half Of which came from Missouri,
whose productio was valued at $780,
17l.311. The value of the output of
Michigan, the second largest produc-
er. was $27,743,572.
The production of silver in the
Central states in 1911 was 550,1S4
fine ounces, valued at $291,59S, COM
pared with S65,7O fine ounces, valued
at SlS7,479, in 1910. OF the 1911 pro-
.ducton 497.2S1 ounces came from
chs copper lodes of Michigan.
The output of copper from the Cen
;tral states in 191 came from the states
OF Michigan and Missouri and amount
ed 10 22O,4SO,51S pounds. OF this
production 219S40,2O1 pounds came
from Michigan.
The mine production of lead in the
Central states in 1911 was 1858
short tons. which, rated at the aver
age New York price for the metal for
the year $500 a tom, was valued at
SI6,9SO.21O. compared with 171,226
short tons. valued. at $15,O67,SSS. in
1910 Missouri produced 95 per cent
cta
about "A per cent Of the primary lead
recovered in the United states from
domestic ore.
The production of zinc in the Cen
tral states in 1911, based on mine re-
turns with a deduction for separating
and smelling losses, was 1883 short
$ons, valued at $19,6SI572; the pro-
duction for 1910 was 17S,7S4 short
IONS, valued at $19,3OS,672. Missouri
was the largest producer of zinc in
the United states although its pro-
duction. 122.5l5 tons, was slightly less
than in 1910.
The survey report gives the produc-
Eion Of lead and zinc by regions, there
being seven. three of which are not
limited to any single state. These re-
gions are known as Joplin; Southeast
Missouri; Upper Mississippi valley;
Nentucky-Southern Illinois: and
ArbuckIe mountain, Oklahoma.
noteworthy fact shown in the report
IS that while the amount Of zinc con-
cenlrates produced in the Upper Mis-
sissippi valley region was 10000
short tons. or about 40 per cent OF
the 200 GO short tons produced in
the Joplin district the value of the
former was only s2.324,072, or not
quite 20 per cent of the value of the
Joplin output (S1O.21I993.) This diff
ference is accounted for by reason OF
gne higher-grade ore produced in the
Joplin district.

FINE PROSPECTS IN TEXAS.
Dry-Earming Proves Successful and
Splendid Crops are Assured.


Splendid Crops are Assured.
Austin, Texas.-The Texas Dry
Farming congress will hold its annu-
al meeting at Uvalde, Aug 20-22. H.
p. Attwater, industrial agent of the
Sunset-Central lines, who has just
returned from a conference with f.
NJ Getzendaner, secretary of the
congress, states that. great interest is
already being taken by the farmers
and business men of Uvalde, and
that the meeting will be the greatest
in the history Of the organization.
Prof Attwater states that crop
prospects in that section are exceed
ingly favorable. thereby insuring
splendid crop yields. Thousands of
acres of oats are being cut, corn and
cotton look fine, cattle sheep and
goats are thriving, and prospects are
good for big honey and pecan crop.
THE fact that the soil is now well
supplied with moisture reminds the
farmer of the necessity of adopting
sensible cultural methods for the pur-
pose of conserving the moisture for
the benefit of growing vegetation
during the hot dry summer months"
saps Prof. Attwater, "and these
methods are taught by what is known
as the dry-farming system, which
shows farmers everywhere how the
rainfall may be retained in the ground
and evaporation prevented so that the
growing plants will receive the bene-
fit Of the moisture. West Texas far
mers are now reaping the benefit OF
the important lessons taught at the
Dry Farming Congress. and in appre-
citation they will make a big exhibit
at the big congress at Lethbridge
Oct. 1926 next and be represented
by a large delegation"
