CATHEDRAL CAVES

In times past it was the fad with many people whose circumstances permitted. to journey abroad, spend a few thousand dollars, come back home and prate about the wonders of the old country.
 Now it's "See America first" but perhaps it is not so much the fault of the people with the "abroad fad" after all, for everything worth seeing abroad" is advertised ex- tensively while the home wonder, with few exceptions are not men, tioned very loudly.
 Within few miles of Williams there are several natural wonders that perhaps many of our citizens have never heard of, much less visited.
 One of these natural wonders afe the Cathedral Caves near Ashfork, two in number. One of the caves has large opening that a horse can be driven into, the other has a very small opening and it is nec- essary to crawl thru the opening and down a 25 foot ladder, this cave is much more interesting than the larger.
 The satellite formation of cer- tain parts of the cave are very beautiful, but one should be equipp- ed with reflecting lantern or electric flash lamp to see the cave in all its beauty as candles do lfot penetrate the intense darkness and reflect on the high walls to the best advantage.
 Last Sunday R. T. Davenport, Frank Udine, and G. B. Kirkpat- rict visited and explored these caves and were we'll paid for the time expended.

TEACHER CUTS PUPILS

Judge Harben defends Grace Miller in the Jus tice of the Peace Court of Judge Cartmell at Selig- man.

 man.
 Judge Harben, of Williams, was called to Seligman to defend Grace Miller, a pretty and prominent school teacher who was charged with forcibly cutting Carl Drapers hair.
 Carl Draper, who is one of Miss. Millers pupils, insisted on attend ing school with his hair long and unkempt and down in his eyes. Miss Miller repeatedly requested Carl to have his hair cut so that he could keep it out of his eyes, but Sampson like, he persisted in his purpose to let his hair grow. At last when patience almost ceas- ed to be a virtue Miss Miller seized the young culplit and sheared him. This so enraged and angered his parents that they immediately ap- peared before the Hon. Judge Cartmell and demanded warrant for the arrest of the school teacher, which warrant was issued after/a complaint was sworn to and filed before his honor charging Miss Miller with forcibly cutting the then already too long hair of said Draper with a pair of scissors, commonly called shears, which said scissors and shears was then and there had and held in the right hand of the said Miss Miller with the intent then and there to forcibly cut, clip, cleave, shear, trim and sever said hair from the said head of said draper all of which was contrary to his usual appearance and contrary to the form of the statutes in such cases made and provided and against the peace and dignity of the state of Arizona.
 Miss Miller was forwith arrested and brought into court to answer the charge in the complaint Judge Harben appeared for the defendant and the court and par ents represented the state. Judge Harben, lawyer like, proceeded to file motions attacking the jurisdic- tion of the court and plea in bar, and also pleaded former jeopardy, which only tended to confuse his honor and all of which was promptly overruled.
 It began to look as tho the de- fendant would be found guilty be- fore any evidence was introduced when Judge HaIben decided to play his high card, and reaching into his pocket pulled out de- murrer and asked the court to file it. The demurrer admitted every thing in the complaint but denied that the Penal Code of the Revised Statutes of Arizona defined as a crime the cutting of a pupils hair by a school teacher with pair of scissors or shears then and there held and had in her right hand. This puzzled the Judge, who after examining the statutes from"Kiver to Kiver'' decided that the de- murrer should be sustained and dismissed the case.
 The case did not end there be- cause the local barbers demanded the further arrest of the defendant for p-acticir g the tonsorial art

the entire nation responsible for the

Servia's Victories.
Sefvia's victories in 1912 bothered
Austria for they came as a surprise
not only to that country but to the
entire world. In the fall OF that year
that little country put two hundred
and sixty thousand men In the field
during three weeks and later added
one hundred and torty-five thousand
more. At least thirty thousand OF
these were killed and wounded. But
In 1919 when the trouble with Bull
garia came on the Sarvians again put
a. large army in the field and proved
their efficiency in warfare.
But once more Austria interferred
and robbed them of a part of their
victory, for by delicate diplomatic
tactics she induced the powers TO COM
pei the Servians to give up part of
their conquest where Albania was con-
cerned, and Servia lost what she so
much desired-a seaport The cap
ture OF Salonika by the Greeks and
the victories OF the Servians in Mace
