To Coconino County Stockmen:
 There will be held at Williams, Arizona, on April 2Oth, 1914, a spe- cial meeting of the Coconino Catt- le Growers Association
 This meeting was deemed advisa- blc, and it was SO voted at the reg. lar, meeting for the purpose of fully discussing the Kent Grazing Bill H. R. JO539 as it is quite apparent that this Bill is not fully understood by all Stockmen and since such a bill if passed would vitally effect the Stockmen of Coconino County we feel that perfect understanding of the measure is good business.

HEALTH NOTICE

April the 17th and 18th have been set aside as Clean up-days and the city wagon will canvas the town and haul off the. garbage and cans that should be barreled or hoxed and set in the alleys where it will be accessible.
 All barrels or other vessels that contain standing water should be emptied at once and if they are to be used should be covered and oc- casionaly emptied, since these are the breeding places for mosquitoes
 The manure piles in the alleys will have to be hauled away at once, for, these are the chief breeding places for flies, and the warm weather we are having will soon in- sure a crop of these disease produc- ing pests which will be hard to de- stroy later on.
 The outhouses should be thor oughly sprinkled with chloride of lime and this should be repeated every two or three weeks to act as a thorough disinfectant
 We have an unusually healthy climate ordinarily, and there is no reason why we should not be free from diseases due to filthy condi ti .ns sr every one is expected to clean up their awn premises and the City will do their. part toward giving every one the right start. Have all youl tin cans and rubbish ready on the 17th and 18th

DRY AMENDMENT
 ID STATE C0NST|-
 TUITION PROPOSED
State Temperance Feder- ation Launched Last Week, Proposes Amendment to Make State Dry.

At the temperance convention held in Phoenix last week, the fol- lowing proposed amendment to the state constitution was adopted: Be it enacted by the people of the
 State of Arizona:
 Section 1. Ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine, or intoxicating liquor or liquors of whatever kind shall not be manufactured in, or introd duced into the State of Arizona un- der any pretense. Every person who sells, exchanges, gives, barters or disposes of any ardent spirits, ale, beer, wine or intoxicating liquor of any kind to any person in the state of Arizona, or who manufactures or introduces into or attempts to in- troduce into the state of Ariz ma any. ardent spirits, ale, beer wine or intoxicating liquor of any kind, shall be guilty of misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be im- prisoned not more than two years nor less than ten days and fined not more than three hundred dol. lars nor less than $25 and costs for each offence; provided that nothing in this amendment contained shall apply to the manufacture or sale of -denatured alcohol.
 Section 2. The legislature shall provide appropriate legislation for the carrying into effect of this amendment.
 Section B. This amendment shall take effect on, and be in force on and after the first day of Jan- uary 1915.
 Wm. w Shenk, secretary of the convention, concludes his report published in the Phoenix Republi- can with:
 "There were 154 registered dele gates from all parts of the state. It is the general judgment of the "old timers" that for unity of action and intensity of interest this was the greatest coevention ever held in the history of the state or terri tory. Its significance argues for a campaign that will be educational, all embracing in its interest of eve ry party and organization, and there is already good representa- ton of those who say with convic- tinn that Ariz na will not desert its progressive leadership among the states by refusing 70 adopt at the coming November election the proposed amendment to the State constitution"

LET COACHES TALK
To HITTER, SAYS HUG
Cardinals Manager Will At
tempt to Have Stringent
Rule Repealed.

Of the eighty-six rules that guide
baseball, just one would be changed a
bit or revised by Miller Higgins, mem.
Der Of the National league rules COM
mittee and manager of the Cardinals.
And the change suggested by Hug will
not in any way cause a material diff
ference
The switch to be recommended by
the Cardinals manager when the COM
mittees from the National and Ameri-
can leagues get together next month re-
fers to the coacher in rule 5S. The
idea planned by Huggins is to create
more enthusiasm, more excitement and
bottor than all, give the batter conf
dence.
AS the rule now reads the coacher
from first OF third base can only direct
his remarks to the runner. The batter
is eliminated completely, likewise the
pitcher. But Higgins would give the
coachers the law TO coach the batter
and heap words of confidence to the
swatter when he comes to the plate
with three on and safe wallop needed
to win the game.
"Why not allow tho coacher to con-
verse with the batter''' argues Hug
gins. Come on. Chief; hit FER a mile,

in the pinch, il inspires him when he
hears from the coacher on first or third.
But we can't talk to him, We must
keep our words to the runneg, and, In
my opinion, n great deal Of Interest Is
taken out of the game.
''They tell me that Jennings goes
the limit on the coaching lines. And the
result is shown. Many fans pay just to
see Jennings's actions. And they can
never tell me that his continual coach
ing does not help the batter. Tt does.
That s what want in the National
league, and | am going to fight to put
in this added phrase in the coaching
rule.
"Now, 7 don Z believe in attacking
the pitcher. Let him pitch his game.
McGraw and others used to center
their remarks of rowdyism to the pitch
cr, and thus rattle and unuerve some
youngster right at critical point.
"a batter will gain more confidence
in the pinch when he hears from his

man to break up the game and such
remarks mean a lot TO the batter, /

ZAaeY Su7ToV'
Requires Men of Keen Judg-
ment to Dig Players Out
of Bushes.

"A TO sooner comes spring than the
mi baseball scout packs his grip
N and hikes secretly from hither
to yon. Placing the false mus
tache On the countenance he visits the
tall grass endeavoring to scare up a
little baseball talent that will astound
the folks at home, writes Harry Nelly.
Time was when the scout assumed
commercial traveller. Others Of him
posed as stock buyer. Nowadays the
scout is too well known to resort to
stage appliances.
The scout In winter often takes up
a business not at all related TO base
ball. For instance, Barrett sells sport
ing goods in st. Louis Larry Sutton
is q proofreader in newspaper office
in Newark, n. j. George buff is ath-
letic director at the University Of Illi-
nois. Dick Kinsella is proprietor Of a
ut Springfield, Ill. Heilbroney keeps
records and turns out the Red Record
book, a most marvellous compilation Of
baseball dope.
Scouting is a peculiar profession.
Turning up the able athlete requires
some sense and good guesser. He
who looks best in the bushes often ap-
pears feeble in the big leagues. On the
other hand, many an unpromising kid
secured in draft or as bonus on
sale develops into world beater.
Baseball is filled with instances of
passing up the good ones. Many turned
down Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker, Hans
Wagner and other stars.
There are folks sufficiently unkind
to say blind man with purse would
make the best scout, but they don t
know.

in a bowling alley at his home town,
Elkins. He says he is making money
with that.
The Detroit club has for some time
been seeking in vain for man who
would replace Gamer at first base. 1t
has tried Sam Crawford, George Mo-
rinrty, Walter Pipp and others without
finding the man itswants. Besides those
named, it has Burns and Heilman for
next season.
