AAI ySot@A 0o oltSlAl AlOOll o session of the local board of cost review for the Arizona lands of Yuma project it was clearly demonstrated that the land owners of Yu- ma and Gila valleys had been assured by former higher ups" in the U. s. R. s. that it would not cost them exceed ing $40 per acre to construct the Yuma irrigation project.
 Attorney Molloy laid great stress on that point in his closing argument to the board. He was corroborated by o. P. Bondesson, former secretary of the Water Users Association, and Attorney lngraham.
 1 These assurances were given in Director Newell'S preliminary estimate, and upon that assurance, Secre- tary Hitchcock set aside the three million dollars for the purpose of paving for the construction.
 But-and there's the rub when the contract" was signed between the govern ment and the water users, no specific price was named.
 When asked by Dr. Mead why they did not insist upon the price being fixed, Attor- ney Ingraham said that in those days everybody had inn plicit confidence in the gov ernment's promises.
 When asked what was done after it became geIlel- ally known that more than $3,OOO,OOO had been spent, and still the project was far from complete, MT. Ingraham said that no one was ever mo- tified when that amount had been exhausted; but that it was the universal idea that the system had been enlarg- ed in order to irrigate the mesa and possibly the lands in Imperial valley.
 Dr. Mead and pr. Fleming listened to Attorneys Molloy and Ingraham and MT. Bondesson with unabated in- terest. Gen. Marshall was also an in- tent listener.
 It was doubly clear that the wit nesses had made a great impression on the board, but it remains to be seen whether the contract" as i'm piled by the Newell letter and other letters and documents of a similar character will be enough to outweigh the legal contract, wherein no specific

CLEANING POLITICS

only from the inside of the political party" says kev. Joseph H. O'Dell, D. D., in the Ladies Home Journal.
 "Men who exert any infiu- ence in elections must play fthe game three hundred and sixty five days in the year. A hundred circumstances make it impossible for the minister to be a direct fact in the results, but this does not render him a political nonen- tity. He can understand enough of the working meth ods to apply the great deter minative principles; he can inspire the sluggish citizens of his congregation to a per formance of their civic du- ties; he can fire the men of his church with such a pas sion for righteousness in pub lie life that they will serve on their party committees and become candidates for office. he can luster registering and voting with a sacramentai significance.
 What he cannot do him. self by direct action, he can cause a hundred or five hun dred of his parishonerS to do as an integral part of their Christian lives. There are certain spheres of influence in which a minister is at a dis count because of his profes- tsional standing. But he is not thereby shut out from a part in the development of modern society.
 Jesus did not legislate by specific acts, regulations and bylaws, but by the proclama- ton of determinative princi- pies. Those principles are as applicable today as they were sixty generations ago. It is the minister's privilege to show the relevance of those principles to modern life; to bring them to bear upon such problems as local op- tion, factory regulation, child labor, workmen's compensa- ton, capital and labor, trade competition, penology and a hundred kindred themes.
 If he can lay the divine compilations of such princi- pies upon the men who fall within his pastoral domain, he will have become a social, i o;,,;o cd -o1;+;oo1 ~o,or oF

School Of Macon.

Saturday the team tackles the crack
Industrial team of Columbus and this
promises to be the game of the day
among the High Schools OF the state.
Ibis bunch is the same that defeated
the local 'Aggies" and it is important
locally because comparison can
thus be drawn of the two Americas
teams. 1t is important generally be-
cause if we win, it gives us a claim
over the victims" of Columbus.
Those attending the game against
Lanier clearly saw the quality of foot
ball played by the High School eleven.
A true, honest game, won only by the
incessant fighting and striving Of the

blend your cheers with those of the
students to encourage the team in its

HIGH SCHOOL GOSSIP.

The past week has been prolonged
ordeal for the pupils of the High
School. Ever since the founding of
the school it has been its custom to
give monthly examinations, therefore,
the school students in the past week
suffered the same ordeal as those who
preceded them. Now since the object
CT suffering is past the students are
signing signs of relief.
Rev. J. B. Lawrence conducted the
chapel exercise Thursday. The stud
ents welcome him gladly and are very
glad to welcome him whenever he
comes. He not only gives US good ad-
vice but also gives us good educational

VICTORY.

The defeat of Lanier High has
worked wonders in creating a school
spirit that any institution would be
proud of. The small crowd of stud
ents on hand to witness the downfall
of Lanier at our hands was enthusi-
astic. But, when it spread that our Hi
had won IL to 6, the students rose as
enc and declared to support us, and
the way the "Freshies" resolved was a
pleasure to behold. They have learn
ed early the Americas spirit" and it's
a safe bet they'll be on hand when the

OUR DEEDS; OUR HOPES.
(By Cliff Wheatley.D

tby ClIH WHcdtICy.J
The game last Saturday did a great
deal to bring visions of 10 to our
sight. The fact that we defeated La
nier is "prima facie" evidence that
our team is good. Then, the posses
sion of Dedman and Chappell is more
evidence that two proven stars reside
in the back-ield. Ed Mathis, at half
is proving himself factor despite of
the fact that the arduous duties of
captain retard him. Gatewood at half
is a speed merchant and is one OF the
fastest in properties. Thus, 1t Is
easily seen that our back-feld can
compete with any in the state.
The line is heavy, and as a line, is
fast. 1t is augmented by the acquisi-
ton of Witt. who in spite of his
"greenness.' has proven himself a
conner" by his consistent playing
Dodson. as guard, is an artist in
defence. He showed his worth in
Saturdays bame by his beautiful
blocking. Taking each man individ-
ually, the school has strong aggre-
cation.

the hardest ever attempted by the
team. 1t includes two games with
each of the following: Albany High

THE GOOD OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE.

A great question on the minds of
the present day public is the Home
like education. The wife's duty is at
home, for the home, and there is moth
ing that stimulates this attitude more
that domestic science. There is moth
ing more accomplished than useful
lands and useful hands are more de-
nanded day by day. In the prepare
tion of food, the vital part of human
existence, useful hands are of more
consequence than the average person
suspects.
Not only is cooking taught, but also
sanitary conditions are stressed.
Cleanliness is a great question before
the American people today. Health,
the most precious of mans posses
sions is assured by cleanliness.
The American people are more and
more seeing the greatness of domes-
tic science. 1t was a great addition to
the school when domestic science was
introduced, and the pupils appreciate
the Additionally and advocate OF
female usefulness.)
