Midnight is his nickname and al
though it fits him exactly as far as his
color is concerned he is not always
pleased to hear someone refer to him
by that name.
He had been sulking in a corner OF
the playground for some time the 9TH
er day when another colored boy al
most as black as himself called out.
Come on over here and play, Mid
night"
Midnight stared at the speaker a
moment and then answered scornfully,
Go long you black rascal. you look
like half past eleven yourself"

THOUSANDS OF CATTLE BEING
 MOVED ACCOUNT OF DROUGHT

Thousands of cattle are being shipped out of this section of Arizona and southwestern New Mexico be- cause of the shortage of feed and water, due to the protracted drought This action, not taken until the last possible moment, has been forced on the owners. Death for the animals from starvation and thirst and heavy monetary loss for the owners was the only alternative.
 At Rodeo, Hachita and Columbus, N. M., and San Bernardino, Arizona, the present period is a busy one. As rapidly as the cars are furnished by the Fl Paso & Southwestern railroad the animals are being sent out to where food and water are more plen- tiful. The destinations of the various herds are widely separated in most instances.-Douglas Dispatch.

Will Build a New Dam

Senator Fred Colter, of Colterville, went through Monday on his way to Phoenix to attend a meeting of the re- lief commission appointed to assist the flood sufferers in the St. Johns country. Senator Colter says that very little was raised by ranchers this year, though there was good pros pect early in the spring. Later dry weather spoiled the chances. It is expected that work on the new dam will commence sometime in the spring.

Bad Batch of Bucking Broncs

Doe" Pardee's bucking bronchos proved too much for the cowpunchers entered in the busting contest at the State Fair. Six were entered and all but one was disqualified for failing to scratch. Snakes" Richards was the only one to be given another try, and that was not because he qualified, but because his latigo broke just about the time he was to be piled. Johnny Frederick who won the championship during Frontier Days at Prescott was among those who failed to qualify.

Refuse to Lift Ban on Mexican Cattle
 The quarantine that has for some time existed against shipment of Mex ico cattle into the state of Arizona is going to be allowed to stand--for the time at least.
 That was the decision that was reached at the meeting of the livestock sanitary board, which was held at Phoenix. The matter of raising the the embargo has been confronting the board for some time, and much time has been spent arguing the matter pro and con. At the meeting the question was again thrashed out, but the mem- bers could not see their way clear to raise the ban, and consequently the Mexican herds will remain outlaws until such time as the board sees fit to allow them to enter the confines of this state. It was argued that the Mexican bandits were confiscating the choice herds south of the border, and that in fairness to the Sonora cattle men, the animals should be given the right to enter the state for their own protection.
 It is understood that there will be further efforts made to have the board reconsider the matter.

 Auburn scored a touchdown in the first quarter. After eight minutes of fierce play, Steed intercepted Georgia forward pass and headed for Georgias goal. When brought to earth he was but F yards from touchdown. Captain Bidez was then called on and in three smashes ham mered the distance to touchdown. Caughman missed an easy goal
 Georgia rushed forward, passed. swept ends and did everything in their repertoire in the second period, and three times threatened to score, only to have the Plainsmen take the ball away from them, rush 1t and then punt out of danger. The same programme was carried out in the third period.
 In the fourth period, right near the start, Caughman got away on splendid run around end and placed the bal, after 3o-yard sprint on Georgia's 20-yard line. Calling on Steed and Bldez.
