But if the men would look into a

There are 3.0G4 languages in the

The war in Europe seems to have

Do you know that it has cost but 1921 to strip
that pit and that 1897 yards of the finest kind of
gravel have been taken out and used on the roads?
1t is true that much machinery has been bought
by Thurston county and as result it costs but
$15 per mile to grade the roads with that machinery,
while it used to cost $50 per mile under the former
method That means that three and one-half miles
of road can be built now where but one mile could be
built before
Thurston county bought twelve-ton gas road
roller listed second hand which just the same
as new having been used less than month, for $3.50
A new one would have cost $3.50 and the freight
$780, making a total of $3.50. Consequently saving
of 5000 to Thurston county made this pur-
chase yet this action of the board has been severely
criticized by the opposition. AS no contractor in the
county has heavy roller the county has been leasing
this machine at rental of $15 per day. The cost OF
operation is So leaving clear profit of 81 per day for
the county.

cial furnish you that guarantee.
AS this is the last time we will come before you
in this space want to urge you to remember when
you cast your vote next Tuesday that the Republican,
ticket is the only before you chosen by the people
at direct primary. It's candidates are your candi-
dates and belong to you and hold themselves respon-
sible only to you.
Remember that the so-called Nom Partisan ticket
is the product of Darkroom conferences and political
cliques. 1t was nominated in rng-rued convention
from the Democratic offices in the state-house. This
statehose bunch had the to demand that three
candidates in office in the capitol building be plac-
ed on that ticket.
It's candidates responsible, not to you, but to
the "bosses" which gave them being and they will
take their orders from these bosses" and not from
YOU r.
If you wish to return 10 the old days of gang rule
and machine methods, to eliminate the direct primary
and thus lose OF your sources of control your
county affairs vote the NOn-Partisan ticket
If you want economy. if you want efficiency if
you want your public officials to be you trust
and whom you know will bold themselves servants Of
you, vote the Republican ticket.
One farewell word. Beware of the campaign
'roorback," the eleventh-hour campaign yarn, the
story that is pulposey held back until it is too late
to Iefute it.

for bids for reduction Of the grade the old road

and clearing the old road was $1,000 The new road,
which cost So 500 less, has average grade OF AZ
per cent with fills of % feet and the cuts a feet IN
width.
The cost of this work is pretty good boost for
the dav labor system on roads and in addition the
farmers have the money and not some contractor.

BIG GRADUATING CLASS
 THIS YEAR AT NORMAL

With a graduating class of seventy. sixty-three of whom will receive life certificates to teach on the fifth of June, the Tempe Normal is this year placing a large number of teachers in the field This is the largest graduat- ing class in the history of the institu- ton. or of any other state institution in Arizona and speaks well for the pop ularity of the local school Out of the seventy graduating seven are academic seniors while sixty-three are receiving professional diplomas Hardly without exception those entitled to teach, have already entered applications with the various boards Of the state and are now awaiting replies. The prospect for placing the great majority of the class is bright and it is the general opinion of those connected with the Normal that the demand for teachers from that institution is greater this year than ever before.
 The reason of the wide demand for Normal school teachers is that those going out rom tLe school into all parts of the state have made good and with the added facilities, the institution is yearly raising it's standard. Under the direction of trained criticc, the seniors receive one year of careful practice. teaching taking up the finer details of the work thus receiving. a splendid foundation for positions in other schools throughout the state.
 The applications filed by the pros pective teachers include schools in ev- cry county of the state of Arizona and in several instances communications have been forwarded to other states, especially California, Washington and Oregon There are a number of Nor nal school graduates employed in these three states and the demand for others in growing.
 It is now only a matter of ten weeks until the Tempe Normal will close for i the year and at that time, June 5th, the annual graduation exercise will be held. The program of commencement week is not vet out but will appear in the near future

others appear to have died rom natural causes.
 The fish are of rare species, being gold fish, and are very beautiful. Visi- tors are always welcome but it is the urgent plea of the caretakers that they do not feed or handle the fish. The pond has been cleaned out and refilled, a job of some two days and all foreign species, such as eat fish, removed and there is every cause to believe that the unnecessary death will cease.
