PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES


 The last week has come, the week most dreaded by both pupils and teachers. To the pupils it means a nerve racking strain-hard work and fear of failure; to the teachers it means 15 hours day of the dreariest sort of drudgery grading hundreds of papers, looking through countless records, footing up totals, making av- erages, weighing records, deciding vexing questions, and trying to ac- complish the impossible feat of being both just and merciful. No other week of the year approaches it in stress and strain; at no other time does the teacher need so much to be at her best; and yet at no other time lis she further from the best. Worn l by the strain of long term, and all | but exhausted by the unusual burden of preparing for the closing, together with a redoubhng of her energies to round out her work in fullest meas ure, she comes to the supreme test with depleted reality, and nerves a-jangle. Need We wonder that ev- erybodv concerned dreads the last week?
 The program of Saturday evening was a success. A magnificent audi ence assembled to see and hear. The house was packed and many went away without attempting to get in. The program went through without a hitch. Everybody seemed to enjoy the occasion, and the school earned neat sum for future use The door re- ceipts amounted to $10890 As there was very little expense, nearly all of this is net. We wish to thank our l friends for their generous support. | As soon as the regular examina- | tions are over, the various contests 1 will take place to determine who are to get the medals. Pupils who wish to enter one or more of these contests will see their teachers to learn the hours.
 On Thursday evening at 8 o'clock We shall have our formal closing At that time Is prizes and medals will be given, the certificate of award will be presented, and MT. Hubbell will de. liver an address to the patrons of the school Misses Harton, Muth, Gree son, Revile and Hubbard will furnish the music for the occasion Every body invited to come, and urged to come on time.

If Africa is to be the seat of a modern human population and supply food to other parts of the world the whole balance of nature must be upset and the wild big animals destroyed. There is no alternative. The practi- cal question is, How far is it possible to mitigate this process?

A PRINCE LEARNING FARMING

A prince at work on an English farm!
 This is almost daily sight at Fairford, Worcestershire. where Prince Erik of Denmark, third son of Prince Waldemar, Queen AleXandra's youngest brother. has been working quietly and steadily for some months past.
 Prince Erik who is little more than 20 years of age, has studied agricul ture since he was a boy of 16 and is now on tour of the principal Eur opean countries to obtain his finishing touches in different departments of practical farming, which is the prin cipal pursuit of his countrymen.
 The main object of his visit to England is to obtain first hand knowledge of cattle farming, wheat growing and the raising of pigs.
 The Danish minister of agriculture, NJ. Kristian Pedersen, who paid pro longed visit to Worcestershire last summer, declared publicly on his re- turn to Denmark that the English system of cattle breeding, especially our profitable methods of utilizing

 LODGE SLOGAN
Phoenix Fraternal Order is Determined That Thou sand Membership Mark Shall Be Passed in lmme- diate Future

Another large class was initiated into inc Loyal order of Moose yesterday afternoon in the new lodge hall of Phoenix Lodge, No. 70S. At the same time over twenty-five new applications were reported by the investigating committees and were voted upon taV- orablv. There will be initiation at the regular meeting on Tuesday evening and another special meeting will be held next Sunday for the purpose of initiating those who have been unable to take the work during the week
 While there has been a most eXcep- tional voluntary application for mem bcrship. the slogan adopted long ago One of a Thousand', will be slow of being realized, the lodge still lacking nearly 400 Of that figure. With the end in view of clearing the atmosphere in this respect, a campaign was inaug- urated yesterday that promises to be carried on with Whirlwind energy to the end that the thousand mark will be exceeded within the next two or three weeks
 cams were StltCtfN ' t9ttlNtHS t4fN teams captains chosen to direct the work. A spirited rivalry started at the outset One team is designated as the "Whites,s' with James G. Simpson as the captain, and the other as the Reds" with J. $. McIlwaine as the captain. Ribbons of the proper color were served out to scores of the mem bers present at yesterdays meeting and in the next few days it is believed that practically every member of the order in Phoenix will be identified with one or the other of the teams
 The meeting of yesterday afternoon was particularly interesting. Governor Hunt, himself one of the most enthus- iastic members of Phoenix lodge avalled himself of the opportunity to witness the initiation of the large class. among whom was Attorney General George Purdy Bullardl The new player piano in the lodge hall served a good purpose in rendering music during the session of the lodge. Hundreds of the members of the order yesterday paid their first visit to the new Moose Home and eX- pressed themselves as pleased and sur prised a the progress made. The for mer quarters of the Arizona club have been completely transformed unti there is now no more comfortable home for a fraternal order in the southwest

 transmission stations are fitted up in
 railway stations or blockhouses, and
 the trains are supplied with receivers
 for the electric waves. Such receivers

 Special transmission appliances are not necessary, as the telephone wires
 along the line will serve for this pur- pose. According to the inventor, this appliance can be used for applying emergency brakes, by means of cleo tricity and from a distance to trains; furthermore, by means of a linecon-
 tact. it makes it impossible for q train to overrun the stop signal. This
 latter safety appliance has already been tested on the electric railways of Prussia. Again, by means of regular bell signals, the apparatus can be used to give the engine driver due
 warning of any danger. In order to 1 combine the two in a practical man ner for railway requirements, the

Value Of Erui* Acids,

1t is thought that acid fruits induce
rheumatism. The contrary is true.
Fruit acids taken into the system by
l person, who has rheumatism act
beneticially, and actually have the eff.
feet of increasing the alkalinity of the
blood. Experiments have proved this
conclusivsly. Thus a person who has
tco much uric acid in the blood should
for q time cat fruit or acid fruit juices
i'll large quantities.
