A Tardu Announcement.

IT'S A BOY-And James says the smile will not come off. Born, on Wednesday. the 18th, to MT. and Mrs. James Kemp, a boy. Although this new citi- zen is a Iusty chap, tipping the scales at eight pounds. the young ster made so little fuss that we failed to hear of his arrival in time for last weeks paper. However, he could hardly be ex- pected to call and notify us, and the happy father was naturally so excited that he overlooked it. Mother and son are doing well.

ARE WE AWAKE
 TO OUR NEEDS?

The latest movement for better education in the Verde Valley consists of the new watchword developed by the several boards -"Better School Buildings. " This movement began last Spring at Cornyille, where a bond issue for SIG carried and thIs year sees the fifty or more pupils in a pleasant new build ing, well equipped and ideal in many respects. The largest school in the valley will be that of Clarkdale. when the new $40,- 000.00 structure is completed. Clarkdale has been the most pro- gressive of all. In September the school opened with an en- roIlment of 102 pupils under the of four teachers. At the end of the third month the had increased to 117, with a daily attendance of no. A new teacher will be added to the present corps after the holi- days. From Verde Valley Ech- oes. Tn The Arizona Teacher.
 From the above. it seems that

we may take hope that the near
 future may see our projectd new
 school building materialize and
 our corps of teachers augmented,
 Surely the citizens of this meek O the woods are not behind the little towns of Verde Valley in enterprise, and our needs are fully as great. If the Clarkdale schools, with IF pupils and four teachers, must have a $40. 0.000.0 % building and a fifth teacher. how about our Holbrook schools, with 139 pupils and but four teachers? The town is growing. the population is increasing; let's keep up with the procession. The best IS none too good for the children who are to be the fu- ture directors of the nations destiny.

ASSESSOR GARDNER
 HOME FROM PHOENIX

Fay Gardner, the newly elected assessor of Navajo county, in. forms us that the Tax Commis. sion held a session of three days duration, followed by conven- tion of county assessors lasting for one day. The result of their deliberations follows:
 The minimum valuation fixed on range horses is $20 head; work horsea. clas A, $100; work horses. class B, $50; saddle horses, $50; stallions. $1O0; mules, class A, S1OO; mules. class B, $50; jacks, $1OO; beef cattle. $35; feeders, $50; bulls, $35; sheep, $3.5O; bucks, S5; goats. graded, $2; common. S1.5O; swine, $5; ostriches, S10; bees, per stand. $3.
 The assessing of merchandise stocks will be on the same basis as last year, which was on the face of the inventory.
 Automobiles will be assessed at the cost price the first year, the next year they will depreci- ate twenty per cent, the third year thirty per cent. and after the third year the assessor will use his judgment. This also ap- plies to motorcycles.
 On the subject of public ser vice corporations, such as gas, electric and water plants, it was the consensus of opinion that they ought to be assessed at the valuation on which they are al- lowed by the corporation com mission to fix ther rates.
 Mr. Gardner assures us that we need not be alarmed at the seemingly high valuations Tn some instances. as, though the valuation IS higher. the tax levy will probably be lower, the ob- Ject being to attain a greater uniformity and more equitable basis of taxation.

School Notes Of
 Special Interest

How about that new school building? Isn't it about time tc start some action in that direc- tion?
 Miss Minnie Heward has dls- continued school for the present. She will spend some time at her home Tn Woodruff and return to school later in the year.
 A letter received by Millie Lee from our former pupils, Esther and Sylvia Cummings, states that they intend to be back in Bolbrook by March 1st and will re-enter school. The teacher and pupils of the Inter- mediate room rejoice. as those girls were general favorites.
 Rev. MT. Carl Ross visited the Grammar room Monday and gave a short talk to the students. His talk emphasized the importance of a correct use of words in speech and composition. This was especially interesting to the members of the ninth grade. who are taking work along this Ilne in their study of rhetoric.
 The 4th grade pupils were highly eIated Wednesday, over having gotten through their reader for the first time. After a careful review they will take up Art Literature. When it comes to addition. subtraction. multiplication and even division, thIs grade knows more about them than the man who made the arithmetic, so to speak.
 The program given by the  Busy Bee" literary. on last Fri day, was one of the best of the year. All those taking part had their work well in hands and It seemed that the program gave as much pleasure to those participa- ting as to those listening. The debate between Claud FIanigan and Bertha Wallace was especial Iy good and showed much inter- est and preparation by those pupils.
 Say, parent, do you know that we can get a much larger money allowance for our schools next year without additional taxation If you will all take especial care to see that your boy or girl attends school more regularly? Our al- lowance for next year will be based on the percentage of at- tendance which we make this year. Let every one help the schools along this line. It costs nothing except a little effort on your part.

 Davy Penrod, IT,, had the mis- fortune to be kicked in the face by mule, last Sunday. It was thought at first that his nose was broken, but close examina- tion by a physician proved this to be untrue.
 MT. Donnelly, our barber. is contemplating an early vacation. as the population has been call ing on him so thick and fast. de- manding that they be shaved and shorn, that it is beyond all human endurance to comply with their wishes. The writer hopes that such will not be the case. until his turn comes.
 MT. Henry Jones, our White river merchant, put one oyer on US last week. by taking unto himself a wife. The bride proved. upon investigation, to be Mrs. Adeline Smith. of Kingman. Both MT. Jones and Mrs. Smith are very popular in this commU- nity, and we wish them a long and happy life.
 We have MT. Hicks, lately of Albuquerque, to vouch for the fact that the wood in the White Mountains is very hard to cut. MT. Hicks sallied forth some days ago. with axe on shoulder, to join the Mexican clan of wood cutters. Nothing to it" quoth he. After six days of strenuous labor, he demanded that the main squeeze" measure up his pile, which he did with joy; total score, one cord. We hear that MT. Hicks is in an awful fix.
