 that everybody around can hear. If he doesn't speak loudly enough, the High Hat repeats it, in loud tones. It's a sure thing that somebody rep resenting Juan's boss will be there to hear how Juan votes. Then, at 6 o'clock, the votes are counted.

"I have just telephoned a friend of mine that if he doesn't reinstate a chauffeur whom he discharged today because he did not vote for me, I will not speak to him again. I know that I have been elected president today un- der this bad election system, but you may say to the American papers that one of the first things I shall lido after I get into office will be to change the election laws of Mexico so as to provide for secret voting"
 He never did, though. He had too hard time keeping himself in the office of president to worry about finding an honest way for other men to get into it., in future generations

VALDEZ HIGH SCHOOL HOLD
 THEIR GRADUATION EXERCISES
(Continued from page 1.)


 "The Alaska Pioneer" was the sub ject of the oration of Miss Eva Lock hart and before the opening of the exercises the local Order of Pioneers met at their lodge rooms and march ed in body to the hall, where they listened to the splendid oration de livered by Miss Lockhart, relative to themselves and their kindred breth- ren. Like the orations of those that had preceded her, Miss Lockhart was clear and distinct, and the excellent material that she had prepared was shown to splendid advantage because of the fluent way in which it was delivered. Her oratory reached to eloquence as she told of the history of Alaska and it's pioneers and the spirit of the country could be felt as one followed the rhythm and spirit of her words. It was an oration in every sense of the word, and in their applause the audience showed how we'll it was received.
 The orations were over. Not a sin gle error had been noted Valdez had listened to three graduates of which any town might be proud; had heard three orations of which any graduate might justly be proud, and these three young people had, in a splendid way, paid the highest trib- ute to their old school and their teachers that they could possibly have paid. Mrs, Martin sang. Need we say more? in her usual inimitable way and beautiful voice she once more delighted Valdez audience with the singing of "Lazyland." Valdez is proud of Mrs. Martin.
 The address of Rev. Price was ex- ceptionally fine. and more polished oratlon has never been spoken in Valdez. He spoke upon Achieve nent" and pointed out to the gradu- ates that right living was greater than fame; that honest endeavor was sure to make them better men and women and asked them to put evefy effort into the work they were about to undertake in life's battles. Then came the presentation of di- piornas by the principal, Prot. F. c. Davis. With few well chosen and well delivered remarks he presented the diplomas to the graduates from the high school, as we'll as the 'hree from the grade school and the audi ence had another opportunity bi showing it's regard and appreciation of the graduating class by clappins heartily as each one stepped forward to receive their diplomas. After the presentation Prof. Davis addressed . few timely reinAtks to tho AsAbets Of the class. which were we'll rSceiv- ed ,by ths analence as sa raftiAx tfib- ute to tho gfsdnatss attar shAir labors tossthsr 1drnt the cos,rse' of thsir hish sch69t llf tthae the N4sHks sorchests[ 1lSyed the csssiht ssiectioA ths M xdtrsss- a to the frcHt SAA sdiii dSa( lil loid, togethArS with ! fs~ noxsftS tsts5 st t5 pSured uson the sscss1sNai sr1dS4 ! ates.

ed by no less person than Officer
Madden who patrols in the neighbOr-
hood of 81 w. Washington st.
Madden, according to Teresa Cook,
a union picket for the striking wait
resses, was very free in the use of
his hands and his speech, when he
arrested Teresa in front of the Knabe
lunch room, 50 w. Washington st.,
Thursday night.
Miss Cooks story is that Madden
grabbed her by the arm and told her
he had warned her a hundred times
not to picket at that point. She re-
piled that this was her first warning.
Madden then said, Come along with
me-" and proceeded to lead Miss
Cook to the station. His actions
were more of a dragging nature,
however, and she requested that he
just let her walk by his side, so as
not to attract attention. This Mad
den refused to do, keeping a strong
hold of her arm.
She also claims that Madden called
her a sneetwalker and bum.

ENFORCING PROHIBITION

China has made it against the law
to use opium, and China is going to
enforce its prohibition law.
For instance, it has made the
penalty of violating the opium law
not a fine or prison sentence, but
a death punishment.
So determined are the authorities
to break up this nationwide dope
habit that the most extreme meas.
ures are used. In the province of
Chentu orders have been issued to
shoot all opium smokers under 90;
over that age they will be sent to

NEW EXTENSION WORK

The University of Arizona has al
ready taken the initial steps to avail
itself of the appropriations provided
by the recent Federal act for ex-
tension work in agriculture and home
economics. Prof. Morse has been
made superintendent of the extern
sion department. This work will be
pursued vigorously in the coming
year. The department of agricul-
ture of the University will send
members of its own faculty frequent
ly into the various parts of the State
to address gatherings and associa-
tions on farm topics. 1t is now
planned to appoint county adviser
for Maricopa county, to be always
on the ground for expert advice and
service. One other agent, with
Prof. Morse, will perform the SER
wee for the smaller agricultural
areas of the State. The University
has already begun search for
competent demonstrator in home
economics and it is intended to secure
an excellent portable outfit to serve
the purpose of demonstration in
home economics. individuals and
women's clubs throughout the State
should correspond with the Univer-
sity to secure the service of the
demonstrator.

TIMBER SALES

Athol A. Wynne, of the office of
SiIviculture, left Albuquerque, June
5th, to examine an important block
of timber valued at more than half
amilIion dollars within the Sitgreaves
National Forest. This timber has
already been advertised for sale at
a price of So so for the first five
years and $500 for the next five
years, but the company interested
in financing the railroad and milling
operations was unable to raise the
requisite amount of capital. Mr..
Wynne's examination is to deter
mine whether the prices at which
the timber was advertised is equit-
able; whether the boundaries are
logical and convenient, and as a
result of his appraisal it is hoped to
put the sale on thoroughly sound
business basis.

her death sent a shudder around the
