STATISTICS SHOW THE
 DEMAND IS UNLIMITED

Experience has shown that Yuma and the southern portion of this state can raise ostriches more profitably than in any other part of the world where it has been tried, and to the Examiner the question arises: Why do not men of capital who are seek ing investment along lines different from ordinary farming come to Yuma and engage in ostrich raising"
 Here it is no experiment, though the business is comparatively new and limited to very few men.
 The records at Washington show that there is practically no limit to the demand for ostrich plumes at fan cy prices, and that there are large imports of these luxuries and rapidly increasing. Then, why should not business farmers engage in a business that certainly offers magnificent prof it's. The statement of Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield, issu- ed in May gives the exact figures for the value of imported feathers as nine and half million dollars, as against six and a quarter million dollars the year before. This was not all for ostrich feathers, but the increased de- mand for these plumes alone was about $2.OOO,0O0; and all this good two million dollars; and all this good money goes to foreign lands for no other reason except that they cannot be bought in the United States. Owing to the dry atmosphere, os- triches thrive here equal or better than any other place on the globe. this fact is undisputed now by all au- thorities on the subject. Now, why should not an effort be made to en- courage an extension of this indus try here and advertise to the world it's great possibilities for investment?
 If Yuma and the Southwest could supply the demand in the United States alone there is mo limit to what such a business might do for this favored section.
 It may not be generally known that Phoenix has the largest ostrich farm known, a number of former Yuma lcitizens being now engaged there in the business.
 Biechteler Brothers and James Meadows have the largest ostrich farms in the Yuma valley, the for mer having moved to Yuma from Cuba for the greater advantages here.
 The accompanying picture shows one of the Biechteler Brothers on the left and the method of handling os- triehes in the valley.

SOCIAL SIDE OF THE . YUMA COUNTY SCHOOLS

Our town and valley schools are all busy worshops. It is been the duty and privilege of the County Sup erintendent to visit several schools during the past week. It is most grat- flying to see the Improvements made in nearly every school building, to note the increased attendance and the splendid spirit of work on the part of teachers and pupils.
 Crane school, District No. 13, open ed Sept 22nd, with sixty children on hand and several have entered since. This means an increase of over 25 per cent. over the enrolment of last year. Twenty-nine enrolled in the grammar grades the first day under the principal, MT. Joel Peterson and thirty-four enrolled in the Primary department with Miss Miller. This is MT. Peterson's second year as principal of Crane school and Miss Miller's third year as primary teach CT. This record speaks well for both teachers and patrons.
 The children of the Grammar de partment have developed considerable power in debate. On Sept. 26, the day before the road bond election, they discussed the question under is sue. At the close of their discussion they took a vote on the question which resulted Is to 2 in favor of the bonds. The following day their elders voted with a majority for bonds.
 On October 3rd they organized a school literary society. The officers are: President, Mary Box; vice pres ident, Helen Kent; secretary, Mary Hubbard; treasurer, Lola Nunnaley, This society will give a program each alternate Friday afternoon to which the public is invited.
 On October II, an ice cream and candy social was held From this so- cial $33.20 was cleared, which has DCCn dppllCO JOWdlO IAO pdy VI their piano. A most interesting pro- gram was rendered in connection with the social

This school has live board of trustees and the patrons are inte~- ested in their school.
 Reports of visits to the Rood school, Shadyside, Sunnyside and other schools will appear ill another issue. The county superintendent and the editors of the papers assume that the people are interested in hear ing about the advancement of our schools.

On Wednesday morning the High School was agreeably surprised when Miss Boehringer, county superintend- ent of schools, made a short call for the pupose of distributing institute pro- grams to the teachers. Mr. Van loose took advantage of his distin- guished visitor by calling the High School pupils together in the assembly room and requesting Miss Boehringer to address them. While such action was unexpected by our visitor, she, nev- ertheless, complied gracefully with the request, and in her usual pleasant manner delivered an inspiring and helpful address which was enthusiasti- cally received by the high school. Her text was Do it Now" Among many other things, she said: Have an aim in life, and you will accomplish more; whatever you do, do with all your might; leaders should stay close to those they lead and be one of them"
 Our talented superintendent is de- servedly popular with the high school boys and girls, who are looking for ward with pleasure to her official vi ii when she has promised to speak to them at greater length. On account of her training and experience, and well known ability, Miss Boehringer's ad- dresses are of exceptional value to the boys and girls of Yuma county.
