1t Costs Arizona $35
To Educate Her Blind

1t costs the state of Arizona
just S35 a year to educate the
blind, according to a statement
made public in the office of G. 0.
Case, state superintendent of
schools recently. The state of
Arizona has at the present time
just three children whom she is
sending to school, and all of these
are in attendance at the Brekeley
California school for the blind.
c.. O. Case returned from the
University of California town
terday after taking to that place
Edward Warren of Prescott, the
third blind boy to be taken to the
school from the state. The other
two have been in the school some
time. "The progress of the
youngsters is wonderful" said
Mr.. Case yesterday. ''They are
doing as we'll as they might in
some cases if they had their eyes.
| found the most surprisingly
beautiful school in Berkeley
where they have at the least two
millions of dollars in their plant
and where the students are in
structed not alone in read, ritin.
and rithmetic, but where they are
shown how to use their hands.
Manual training, domestic science
brass beating, leatherwork, print
ing and other trade vocations
are taught and the results at
tanned by the students are re-
markable. Arizona could not
better her home for her blind. =

after his interests in connection
with the final settlement of the
Ranchers' Trust company. Mr..
Norris was on his way to Wash

whisper something interesting in

SNOWFLAKE STAKE
ACADEMY NOTES

Last Friday evening at the
Academy building the faculty
entertained the student body.
Nearly all the students were
present and everyone seemed to
have an excellent time. The
greater part of the faculty's US
ual grace and beauty was lacking
on this occasion. because Miss
Hansen was too i'll to be present.
The following program was rem
dendered, "Our Dear Old High, /"
by the choir. Buff and Blue, !"
sung by the choir. Opening re-
marks by Prof. Crandell. Mod
ern Version of Ten Command
ments," Prof. Hyrum Smith.
Vocal solo. Prof. Crandell.
The classes then contested in
the following events:
High Jump, won by the Soph-
mOreS.
Relay Race, won by the Fresh
men.
Sewing race, won by Seniors.
Costume race, won by Seniors.
The Seniors carried off the hon
ors. All winners in these events
were presented with a large
block S, the official letter of the
school. The crowd then moved
to the gymnasium where a pleas
ant hour was passed in dancing.
One interesting feature of the
evening was the ''Handshake"
in which every person present
shook hands with everyone else.
You may look for an early
spring for on Monday morning
the Seniors "budded OUT in
green (jerseys).
In the separate meetings on
Monday morning for the young
ladies and young men, entertain
ing and instructive lectures were
given.
We are glad to welcome pack
our old schoolmate Walter Smith
who has been out over a month
on account of illness. A number
of our students are at home this
week on account of a sudden en-
largement of the head and they
are little modest about showing
their development to tn cir
friends.
Miss Hansen is almost per-
suaded to start a class in domes-
tic art for the young men who
were so proficient in dressing
dolls at the party Friday night.
Wednesday morning Homer F.
Bushman, Of St. Soseph, member
of the board and staunch sup
porter Of the school, gave us a
very timely and inspirational
talk. Come next Monday morn
ing and hear the Sophmores en-
tertain at the devotional hour. .

WE SHOULD INCORPORATE
TO BETTER SNOW
FLAKE TOWN

VI Vic IIOOC UOduClI ultJ OAON"0ON1
of any town in the state of Ari-
zona. The setting could hardly
be more picturesque nor offer
better opportunities for the max
ing of a nice clean and sanitary
town. The surrounding country
is rich enough to provide the
necessary means for the main
tenance Of a prosperous little
city. Almost the only thing now
lacking is determined and unit
ed effort on the part of its citi-
zens to make it what it ought to
be. This cannot be done to any
advantage except through incor-
poration.
There has been some very good
work done by the pioneers; a
very good beginning has been
made. There are many fine and
we'll kept residences in Snow
flake, and the bulk of the houses
are in keeping with a live and
orderly town, but right alongside
of these can be found eye sores
in the form of garbage and re-
fuse not properly disposed of be-
cause there is no central author
ity in which the responsibility
rests to clean up and put the
town in a sanitary condition.
With Snowflake an Incorporated
town, all this would change in
the twinkling of an eye. The
horses and COWS which now make
the streets and sidewalks their
rendezvous could be kept off the
public thoroughfares, and the
change that these two policies
alone would make in the appear
ance of the town would be more
than worth the sacrifice neces-
sary for the incorporation of the
town.
The fact that Snowflake is in
corporated would be a good ad-
vertisment, and it would help
more to bring in railroad than
any one thing that the people
could do. The railroad is a fore
gone conclusion. While it may
not come right away, it is sure
to be built in the not far distant
future. Timber is becoming
more and more valuable every
day, and the 500 or 900 million
feet of timber now available for
the markets is sure to find pur-
chaser, even if the parties, who
at present are figuring on it, fail
to make good" which is not at
all likely. 1t is true, they are
slow about it, but large bodies
move slowly" and time must be
given in all undertakings which
involve the expenditure of large
sums of money. Of course, when
matters of this kind are first
launched, the more enthusiastic
always get ahead of themselves,
and announce that everything
will go through in few days,
but the ones who pay the freight
move cautiously, hence the delay
in the matter of construction of
the Navajo Southern Railway.
1t is the HERALD's opinion that
railroad will be built to connect
with the great timber lands and
that in the not far distant future,
and also that it is up to the peo-
pie of Snowflake to do everything
possible to encourage it's coming,
and, we believe, that the incor-
poration of our beautiful little
town will go a long way towards
accomplishing this boon, and in
enhancing the value of all real
property within the town limits.
The expense of maintaining a
town need not be heavy. That
will be left to the people them
selves. The people will have the
selection of their mayor and COM
mon council and there is no doubt
that the people of Snowflake
have the men. who are econom-
ical and conservative, and have

MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT AS
SOCIATIONS HOLD
CONTEST

contests OF Cn0 N. L. "A. WOIhGIo
of the Snowflake Ward were
held here Sunday. Much talent
was exhibited, and those who
were fortunate enough to hear
all the parts had a feast long to
be remembered. There is little
doubt that this was one of the
best, if not the very best, con-
test ever given by the organiza-
ton in Snowflake.
Immediately after the Sacra-
ment service at the Stake house,
the oratorical contest was held.
Four contestants showed their
skill in the declamatory art. La
zelle Smith led with "The Power
of An IDEAL" This was a logic
ally constructed exposition of the
benefits of high ideal, and end
ed with a plea for the auditors to
have an aim in life. Marion Rog-
ers won first place. His oration
began with a beautiful figure,
rhetorically worded, comparing
the Jewish race to the Gulf
stream. The history of this peo-
pie was depicted graphically by
the Speaker. Miss Iris Flake
won the admiration of the audi
ence when she, in scathing
phrases, rebuked 'Idleness" and
called on all men to get to work.
Miss Lucretia Willis, with much
feeling, extolled "Oratory.''
The judges, Bishop Silas S.
Fish, Joseph Peterson and Miss
Laura Baird, only after long con-
sideration, were able to decide
on the winner, so close was the
contest.
Harvey Ballard, of the Junior
class, won first place in violin
music by presenting a beautiful
selection at this session. The
Junior chorus of boys and girls,
under Prof. Crandell, also rem
dered the beautiful song, THE
Goodness of God" in pleasing
manner. The young people were
awarded first place.
THE EVENING SESSION.
In the evening session, story
telling and musical numbers oc-
cupied the time. Those who re-
told stories were Miss Frances
Willis, Mrs. Vera Jennings and
Mrs. Ellen Owens. These ladies
acquitted themselves very credit
ably. Conflicting opinions were
held by the audience as to whom
the judges would award first
place. Mrs. Jennings, by adher-
ing most closely to the rules, was
the winner. Her story was one
depicting the heroic self-abnega-
tion and the consequent success
of a struggling boy. The judges
were DR.. Smith, Marion Flake
and Mrs. S. S. Fish.
The mixed quartettes by Miss
Nellie Gardner and company and
the Kartchner family, were very
beautifully rendered. The Kart
elmer Sisters and Brothers car
ried off the prize. They main
tanned ably their musical reputa-
tion with the people.
The vocal soloists made a fav-
orable impression. Miss Leah
Smith and Miss Clara Rogers en-
tered IN this feature. The first
of these was given the victory.
Miss Ada Flake took first place
against Miss Bertha Owens in
the piano contest. Both young
ladies acquitted themselves nice
ly.
Prof. Crandell and Lafayette
Kartchner, in a classical rendi-
ton, won in the duet class in
competition with the Kartchner
sisters.
Master Silas Smith rendered a
pretty little cornet solo, and was
given first place in that event.
The judges for the musical
numbers were Miss Della +.

BANKS TO A LLOW
LEGITIMATE CREDIT
Sec'y McAdoo Grants Request
For Additional Crop Moving
Funds-Scores boarding

Washington, Sept. 23,-Secretary Nc
Adoo tonight adopted stringent meas
ures to urge national banks to extend
legitimate credit and charge normal
interest rates on loans. He telegraphed
to 10 national banks in the four re-
serve cities in the South that their
requests for additional crop moving
funds from the federal government
would be granted at this time, and
made clear that his action was taken
in connection with reports of excess
siye interest rates and restriction of
credits.
In statement, Mr.. McAdoo declared
that there was an extraordinary
boarding of money by banks through
out tine country and piling up Of re-
serves without occasion. He said re-
ports to the comptroller of the cur
rency showed that money boarding has
been carried on by banks to an eX-
IRENE degree and announced that he
expected to focus attention upon the
guilty banks by issuing a daily list
of those with excessive reserves.

ATTITUDE AS TO
mine WORKERS
Must Adhere to Basis of
Settlement Agreed
To By Miners

Washington, Sept. 23.-President Will
son today refused to change his at
titude toward the Colorado strike sit
uation and indicated that the mine
operators must accept the basis of set
tlement already agreed to by the
miners or stand responsibility to the
country for the result.
]. f. Welborn, president of the Col
orado Fuel & Iron Co, known as the
Rockefeller property discussed the
situation with the President and told
him that some of the principal points
of the basis of agreement did not meet
with the approval of his concern. He
proposed another plan of settlement,
but Mr. Wilson refused to take it up.
Mr. Welborn promised to lay the
Presidents views before the other OPP
orators and then to send a final an
