once in the profession all efforts for better qualifications are drop ped.
 When the examiner took charge of the office eight years ago, there was not single high school that had been in operation any length of time. For that reason it was thought impossible to grade strictly on what the appli- cant made, but gave the greatest per cent possible.
 For such grading now, there IS no excuse, nor will 1t be practiced.
 For the sake of avoiding the semblence of suspicion that a money consideration entered into the issuance of license, the ex- aminer during his former terms of office gave some applicants two and even three trials for a single fee. By doing this he felt that the failures were stopped from making any charge that money was at all considered in the refusal of a license. Such a practice was evidently a cause for some that were wholly un- prepared for the work, to make an attempt for a license, and few succeeded.
 Such a practice as was thought justified at that time would now be wholly indefensible, and un- just to schools and to teachers.
 The two examiners of the county fully understand each other and also what was expect ed of them by the county court which appointed them. There twill be no trouble as to license. All teachers will be examined in the district in which they live and should any desire to teach in the other district the paper will be transferred without cost to the teacher.
 Believing that Carroll county holds the teachers to a severer test than some of the adjoining counties the present examiner will follow the same precedent in the future that has been fol- lowed in the past.
 It is the desire of the present examiner to raise the high grade of his predecessor, R. c. Gibson, not to lower it. In this endeavor he invites every teacher in the county to join him.
 Respectfully,
 J. c. BUNCH,
 County Examiner.

pect, as the appearance Of the great comet
in Aries was said by ancient astrologers to
presignify "evil and detriment to the Eastern
part sorrows 10 the peoples under Aries;
the clash OF arms and bloodshed; death or
reinforcement OF some king" Since the
comet appeared two local wars have oc-
Cured in the Balkans Italy has been at

nearly eXterminated in its retreat from

the abdication OF Charles V. Of Germany.
The astrologcrs assert that they gain their
fore-knowledge of coming events by study
ing the heavens from many different points
of view. The position of the sun with re-
gard to the planets and stars is the most
important heavenly influence on human ac-
tons and earthly occurrences. The position
OF the moon. owing to its nearness to us,
and the Important gravitaticnal influence 1t
exerts upon our minds and bodies, is next

of an individual. starting with the hour at
which he was born and the position of the
various heavenly bodies at that moment, is
another common method by which the as.
trologer peers into the future. Then again.
the study OF the palm Of an individual
helps to round out the labors of the as

BY the use OF all these methods, an as
tonishing number Of curious occurrences all
over the world are foretold with remark
able detail. For instance, we are told that
there will be new gold strike in the State
of Montana which will be n complete sur

ton will occur in the northwestern part OF

s Selling Mines" D
is Valuable
Information

! In the October number Of the
Arizona Magazine is an article by
Charles F. Willis, Director of the
State Bureau of Mines, which
should be of interest to those hav-
ing prospects or mines to sell. It
is entitled, Selling Mines"
The article Sums up various
things which the ordidary pros !.
pector usually tells about his prop
erty, which are usually of little
interest to the buyer. Inadequate
descriptions are the cause of many
mines being turned down without
even an examination by the syndi-
Gates. Briefly summed up, the
things the average buyer desires
to know are as follows:
Location, nearest railway station
aud distance; roads and conditiou .
Of the same; transportation faclli-
ties and freight rates. 1t is a lso
necessary to know the character of
The deposit, ore and country rock,
with maps, even if they are crude,
~howing the plan and section Of
the work done. The average
width Of vein should be known and
the distance over which it can be
traced; the number Of samples
taken, and where, with their re-
spective values is Of vital import
ance. The water, timber and fuel
supply should be given.
In the case Of developed mines,
possibly having record of produc-
tion, the information available may
be very extensive; in this case the
one submitting the proposition
should give description and his
tory of the property in as full de-
tail as possible, laying particular
emphasis on the costs. It is de-
sirable also to know how far the
mine workings are open for exam
ination and sampling.
The above are a few essential
points necessary to encourage ex-
animation and change of hands OF
properties, and are described in de.
tail in the Arizona Magazine.

Why Not a Whist Club !?

Benson should form a whist OF

wholesome passtime, is what the
prospective homeseeker generally
considers as desirable, with gooc
schools as the predominating OBJ
ject, of course, if there are child

are of a high standard, and now

Halloween Party

Last night at the Auditorium was
a scene of gayety and fan. 1t was
a Halloween party in which the
faculties Of the high and grammar
schools; their families, and boys
and girls Of the high school gath
cred to celebrate All Saints Day,
Merriment was rampant through
out the evening, as traditional lore
and customs were observed and en-
acted. To add zest, the auditorium
was appropriately decorated for the
occasion and the boys and girls
wore MILDLY blouses.
Peanut races, bob for apples, and
other Halloween games were in
dulged in. The initiation of Fresh
men caused much pleasantly. The
fortune teller foretold good and
evil.
Refreshments consisted of pump
kin pie, apples, nuts, coffee, etc.
