Autos Cost More
Than Rural Schools

One farmer with a cheap auto
mobile has more invested in that
one piece of mechanism than the
average community as whole
has in it's school plant; and the
owner o f the auto frequently
spends as much on the upkeep
of his one car as the community
spends for the total maintenance
of the school, including the teach
er's salary. This is one of a
number of significant compari-
sons brought out by the Hon. W.
F. Feagin, state superintendent
of education for Alabama, in a
survey reported to the United
States bureau of education.
To illustrate further the plight
of the schools, Superintendent
Feagin shows a dilapidated rural
school in contrast to the hand
somely constructed Jail in the
same county. costing several
thousand dollars. ''This Jail, ="
he says, ''has sanitary drinking
fountains, shower baths, clean
floors, plenty of light, good ven
tilation, and is otherwise attract
i've. Could a person from the
district in which this school is To-
Gated be blamed for preferring
the jail?"-Ex.

War Doesn't Increase
Making Of Explosives

Contrary to general belief, the
manufacturers of explosives do
not need war to give stimula-
ton to their business. One of
the officials of the largest pow
der manufacturing companies in
the country recently made the
statement that only 5 per cent
of the explosives manufactured
are used in the war. The rest
are used in constructive work,
mainly engineering and agri-
cultural.
Without the use of explosives
this man asserted that it would
have taken fifty years longer to
complete the Panama Canal.
The closing of the powder mills
in America, he said, would re-
suit in greatly lessening t h e
products of the mines. Instead
of following the methods of the
big gun makers and endeavoring
all the time to increase the arma-
ment of nations, the powder
manufacturers are trying to
constantly bring before the pub
lie new uses for their products
as that is where the money is.

able location for a townsite.
Some time previous to this
'toWnsite hunt the plac e r
miners of Granite creek took a
day off, held a meeting and
unanimously dubbed their camp
Goodwin. These 'Goodwinites'
endeavored to persuade the gov
ernor to locate his capital at
their place, but the site was too
canyon like and the governor
selected the mesa on which the
city of Prescott now stands.
THE townsite was surveyed
and plated by Col. Rob Groom
and Van C. Smith. In April or
May, 1864, the whole outfit, in
cluding the military, abandoned
Chino valley and movedAto the
present sites of Fort Whipple
and Prescott. After considera-
BILE discussion the new town was
named Prescott in honor of the
famous American historian. The
old log building on the west side
of Granite creek was the execu-
tive mansion until the capital
was moved to Tucson.

Member of Hunting
Party Lost for 3 Days

j. Owen Freeman, Frank Nc

turned Tuesday from a two
weeks hunting trip in the He
ber section. They got big game,
too-fve bucks-one each. Ev-
cry fellow while on the trip
found himself" but McCIoskey.
He got lost. He went out
from camp Friday to do a little
skirmishing on his own hook
and just before sundown shot a
buck, wounding it, but the ami
NAL kept a-going so did Mac.
He travelled for some distance
on the trail of the buck, until he
lost his bearings and seeing it
was useless to look for camp
after night, built a big fire and
sat down, as he did not bring
his bed along, to rest till dawn,
when he might see Alright.
Well, he wandered around till
late Sunday when he reached
one of j. w. Richards sheep
camps and was directed from
there to the Richards ranch
house, only few miles away,
where there was an abundance
of food and bedding. Not long
after he reached the ranch Mr..
Richards arrived in his automo-
bile, which looked mighty pleas
ant to Mac. They decided to
Immediately return toward He

way were not long in calling up
rescue parties. ,the news of
the lost man had been tele-
phoned all over the country and
searching parties from different
sections were sent out and more
were preparing to go. So a
rider was sent to Heber with
instructions to send messages
all over of the finding.
Things were very favorable to
Mr.. McCloskey, there being an
abundance of snow upon the
ground, consequently he did not
suffer from thirst, and having
some ammunition and plenty of
matches he was alright for game
and fire. He killed a Jack rab-
bit while on his trip" which
constituted his supply of grub.
But Mac has no desire to expe-
rience a like journey.
