The News force had quite a
scare Friday, for while speeding
up on a Gordon press, the fly
wheel came off and started for
the stairway, but just before
starting on its downward flight
it struck box of boiler plate and
was turned into a wall. If that
wheel had descended that stair
way, somebody's good automo-
bile would have been sadly
wrecked, as it was, no damage
was done.

ReeuIar Meeting of Supervisors

Regular Meeting of Supervisors
 The regular monthly meeting of the board of supervisors ot Navajo county was held in the board room last Monday. Out side of the auditing and allowing of bills, and other business of a routine nature. considerable other business of importance was transacted, and in order to finish this an evening session was held.
 The question of roads and bridges in the county was thoro- ly discussed by the members of the board and plans were for mulated whereby some great i'm provements will be made in this respect in the near future. An election will be called for early in January for the purpose of submitting the proposition of is suing $63, 900 in bonds for new bridges. These bridge have been petitioned for and there is but little doubt that the people will vote in favor of the bond proposition.
 In addition to taking action on the bridge matter. the board de- clded to borrow from the state $20. 900 for the purpose of i'm proving the roads in the state highway system that lie in the county. and which are maintain ed by the county. This sum will be secured at once, and work will be started as soon as the states road building crew has finished the work being done in Apache county.
 The News believes that the supervisors have acted with com mendable judgment in arranging for the improvement of the roads and bridges in the county. No thing helps a country more than good roads, and money spent for such purposes is spent to a splendid advantage.

Cause of Typhoid Epidemic


 The cause of the typhoid fever epidemic which has prevailed in Gallup, N. M., for the past month has been definitely deter mined. Dr. Smith, of the Unit ed States Health service. made a thorough investigation, and made a report last week to the city council last week. The Gallup Herald, of October 30. publishes the following:
 t'The following is taken from the report rendered by Dr. Smith to the council:
 The epidemic, which is typ hold fever, attended by a number of mild and abortive cases, was almost certainly caused by milk infection. The report goes into details regarding the flood and the overflow into the Mulholland dairy farm carrying infection.
 ''The original cause of the epi- demic is attributed beyond all doubt to the six cases here dur ing the past winter, spring and summer. Three of these were amonp railroad emploves and boys who visited their fathers about the cars.
 It is not clear where the pre- epidemic cases received infection but it is probable that the typ hold fever was constantly pre- sent in the city from mid-winter until the time of the flood and that the sewage delivered into the Puerco was contaminated with typhoid bacili. The ex- ploslve outbreak was a milk born infection.
 Dr. J. w. Bazell of Holbrook. health officer for Navajo county, has made a careful investigation of the sources of infection with the few cases that prevail here. He has traced the infection dlre- ctly to ice cream sold in Holbrook. This ice cream came from Gallup. and the persons who were af1ict- ed with typhoid were in the habit of partaking freely of this cream.

Two Hundred and Fifty Stories
 And every story a good one. They are entertaining, but that is not all you can say about them. You know there is hardly per lodlcal published that is not full of time wasting stories, but not single story in The Youths Companlon IS a tune waster. Take the stories of A. Stephens. It would be hard to pick out one from which you cannot learn something useful and yet enter tainlng.
 Some of The Companion stories refresh your knowledge of geo. graphy; some tell you the mys- teries of chemistry, some reveal the secrets of forestry and of general farming. They cover a wide range. They are chosen
 
 with an eye to the possible lik- ings of every member of a Com panion family stories of vigor- ours action and stirring adven- ture for boys, stories of college life and domestic vicissitudes for girls, stories that range all the way from sheer drollery to deep seriousness for men and women. There are no stories quite like those in The Companion.

SEWING COURSE IN
LANCASTER SCHOOLS
Country Teachers and Training
Class to Receive instruction.
Course viii Last All Winter and the
knowledge Gained Transmit
ted to Scholars.

Saturday morning ten young ladies
sat around the big table in the county
superintendent Office and with Mrs.
Servis of the Lancaster schools and
Mr.. T. H. Ubbelohde of the university
extension, planned a course in textiles
and sewing. This course is a part of
the home economics course and is a
splendid feature. 1t consists Of six
parts, arranged for study during the
entire school term and will be carried
on in the Lancaster teachers training
department of the high school. There
is room for about twenty or more
young ladies, so there are places
for others desiring to take up the
work. After the sewing work has
been reviewed the class will be given
a cooking lesson. The idea is to have
the lessons far enough apart to enable
the teachers TO thoroughly master the
outline in the bulletin. The cost is
purely nominal, being fee of So for
the entire series of lessons. Lancas-
ter will benefit by this course and the
high school will enter into new field
of usefulness. Regarding the nature
of the work the bulletin on Home
Economics says:
''This course in sewing gives in
struction in simple and machine sew
ing, in darning and patching and the
making of undergarments and other
useful articles. Simple methods for
the testing, judging, and the buying
of cloth are also given. Since the
conditions are not the same in all ru-
raj communities, different problems
and methods of teaching will be dis
cussed, giving the teacher an oppor-
tunity to choose that method best
suited to the needs of the community.
Mr.. Udelohde says that Grant and
Juneau counties are the first to have
this course and they were selected be-
cause thed had live county superinten-
dents who asked for the work.
The first lesson will be given in the
near future.

KEEWATIN, IS; LANCASTER, 0.

That was the score last Friday, or
somewhere in that vicinity, few more
or less not making any particular diff
ference. Keewatin had the ball from
the first and kept it most of the time.
Fhis team halls from the famous acad-
envy at Prairie du Chen that doesn't
do much else than travel around the
country playing real football. Accord
ing TO reports they have played num-
erous college teams defeating the
Southern Minnesota university team,
10 to 0, and holding upper Iowa uni
versity at Fayette, to score of z to z,
last Friday. Lancaster failed to score
and was clearly playing way out of
its class. The Keewatin boys easily
weighed $50 pounds heavier than the
locals and have had vastly more exper-
fence. There are three Indians on the
Keewatin team and one of them, Coy
on, has played several years on the
Carlysle university Indian team. He
is a wonderful player, weighs 216
pounds and works the forward and
crisscross pass and end runs to perfec-
ton.
The locals were evidently leary of
their formidable rivals for the better
part of the game, but toward the end
bucked up and did much better often
sive, as we'll as defensive.
The visitors scored ten touch-downs,
made eight goals. They very evidently
did their best and went home with
another scalp dangling to their belt.
While a game of this kind is good ex-
perience for the local team, one doubts
the wisdom of putting a team in its
first season up against players that
are entirely out of their class and
from which victory would count for
nothing.
The lineup was:
