 The man and the maid sat close together on the beach and watched the storm.
 'EHow the wind howls, darlingp said she, yelling to make herself heard.
 'eYes," shrieked her lover.
 ''Whv does it howl?" she screamed.
 "Dunno. Perhaps it's got the toothache," he bellowed.

Wilde of the university, Superin- tendent Matthews of the Tempe normal school, Dr. R. H. Blome of the northern normal and Su- perintendent John D. Loper of the Phoenix schools will be con- tributing editors. There are three principal things for which "The Arizona Teacher" will strive, better wages, sabbatical year and a pension system. These things will be asked for not for the teachers. but for the good of the schoolsof Arizona.
 The vocation of teaching is a stepping stone to something better than it used to be, but it is not yet as distinct a profession as it should be. It is desired that those who engage in it may be given as much assurance of
 
 the future as those who engage in other vacations. It is stated that 800 new teachers come to Arizona every year and, of course, as many leave. Such a shifting must not be the best for our schools.
 Better wages. pension sys- tenn, a stabbatical. or vacation year. in which the teacher can travel or engage in study after a half dozen years of continuous service would allure to Arizona high grade of teachers and keep them here so that our educators would cease to be birds of pas sage. Their usefulness would increase with their years of ser vice.
 There are other defects of our educational system which ''The Arizona Teacher" would seek to remove. That. they are existent is well known to the teachers. but the teachers are not agreed as to the remedies to be applied. They have little opportunity to reach an agreement. It is not afforded in the brlef sessions of institutes of educational associa- tions, but it is hoped that the pages month after month of ''Hhe Arizona Teacher" may furnish a medium by which tea chers, schools trustees and pat rons may reach a basis for re- form.

NEVER RODE ON TRAIN;
 IS KILLED BY ONE

The injuries received by Fred Becker near Cedar Glade on Sun day night proved fatal yesterday morning at the county hospital, where he was brought to receive medical attention after being hit by a locomotive while walking along the railroad track.
 The deceased was more fam iliary known as Fritz" and for over 20 years had been a pros pector of thls and Mohave coun- ties, but at times following his trade as a printer whenever his services were required. He was native of Germany and no known relatives in this country survive.
 Becker, during his life, had made the boast that he had never paid a cent for railroad fare. and had never beat his way on train. During his many years of wandering from camp to camp in the northern part of the State he invariably walked and not unless he was asked to ride in a wagon or on an animal would he travel from one place to the other than by any other means than hiking. He was totally deaf and hls af- fliction is attributed to his death occurring in the manner noted. He carried and honorable dis charge from the German army, for services rendered in Eastern Africa.

ODD SUITS FOR DAMAGES.
q PiebaId Head. Stolen Thirst and
 a Missing Ear.


 The recent claim for damages brought against great London shop b. consumptive clerk, on the ground that the unsanitary state of the office had brought on his dis ease, drew from the judge the re- mark that this was the first case of the sort that had ever come before the courts.
 Cases even more remarkable keep cropping up at intervals, though fortunately they are seldom of so grave a nature.
 Some ten years ago, for instance, a Birmingham commercial traveller sued a chemist for compensation for the damages done by a special hair dye which the chemist, its in ventor, had guaranteed would turn his customers hair an enduring brown.
 What it really did was to turn his hair curious bluish tinge, with patches of gray. The chemist had offered to compromise by supply ing his indignant customer with any recognized make of dye he wished for the rest of his life. But an action followed, and the piebald traveller secured damages.
 One of the funniest cases ever brought into a court of law was surely that which tickled all Aus traIia toward the end of the last century. A young Sydney business woman had mixed a secret drink cure with her brothers breakfast coffee.
 The brother found the effect ex- tremely unwelcome, and when he realized who was responsible for his fading interest in strong drink he was ungrateful enough to sue his sister for $3,OOO damages for 'con- sequent loss of thirst" But an un- sympathetic jury took the sisters side.
 A case that reused great interest in medical circles, as we'll as a good deal of amusement. was an action brought a good many years ago by a surgeon at London hospital against colleague for the loss of an ear.
 A diseased ear was to be ampu- tated. The patient, struggling un- der chloroform. was being held down. Just then the lights went out. The patient fell off the edge of the table in his struggles, and the junior surgeon leaned over aft CT him. The operator felt an ear in his hand and, thinking he might not get another opportunity, the patient being so abnormally rest less. made one swift. neat slash. The operation was successful, but the ear was the wrong. man'sl- London Answers.

RANGE CAN BE RESTORED
 WITHOUT CLOSING IT

That a serious decline in the carrying capacity of the vast areas of western grazing lands, due largely to the fact that stockmen fail to give the range plants a chance to keep growing, can be remedied without closing these areas to cattle and sheep, is the statement made by the de- pertinent of the agriculture in a bulletin recently issued on range improvement. Excessive graz ing in the spring before the for age crop is mature. and such grazing continued year after year. says the department, are the main causes of range deteri- oration. U
 On the national forests, the department points out, where the government is doing away with these evils and stock is handled under government regulation the range lands have improved to a point where it is agaln possi- ble to market large numbers of beef and mutton animals direct ly from the range.
 In the free for alp period of the early days, the department goes on to say, the most palata- ble forage plants were so closely cropped that they were unable to develop the necessary plant food. and so literally starved. In addition. the roots were ire quently injured by trampling or killed by exposure. As a result the best kinds of vegetation grew weaker from season to season, and where the practice of early and close grazing was continued. the range at last be- came practically denuded.
 The vegetation which furnish. es the grazing crop has much the same growth requirements as a farm crop. No farmer who hopes to realize the best returns from a permanent hay meadow. it is stated, would think of har- vesting the crop as soon as it is tall enough to cut, regardless of whether or not it is mature. Nor would he graze a permanent pasture closely from the time the growth begins until it ceases, for he knows that this will re- suit finally in killing it out. And since climate and soil conditions over much of the western graz ing lands are less favorable to plant growth than those on the average farm, even greater care must be exercised in utilizing the range crop than is necessary with that on the farm.
 i The remedy suggested for range deteriation is a system of deferred grazing. Under such plan an over grazed portion of the range, sufficiently large to supply the forage from the time of seed maturity until the end of the grazing season, is protect- ed from stock until the seed crop has matured.
