1.-The attitude of the public towards
mission work has undergone revolu-
ton in the past ten years." said Ben
jamin Starr, of Topeka, executive sec
rotary. Before the Laymen movement
began, foreign missions were sneered
at. Now this disparagement has al
most ceased. Not only has the work
in all the churches been greatly slim
ulated but missif MS have won the
powerful aid of the commercial in
terests of the nation"

FINN BOUND OVER

George Finn, charged with a felony
 in the theft of a team and wagon from his brother in-law at this place in December, was arraigned yesterday in justice court and bound over to the superior court. His bail was fixed at $500. which he was unable to give, and he was committed to jaii. Ther is somewhat of a romance con nected with the case. Finn, accord ing to his statement, first met the woman who now bears his name in Kansas years ago, where they were sweethearts. The girl later married a man named Clark and came to Ari- zona, where she raised a family. Lat CT she was free to wod again, and when ZInn went to the home of Mrs
 Clark in Pleasant Valley, north of Roosevelt, last year the old love was rekindied and they were married Finn claims that he is addicted to the use of Opiates, and upon a trip tc trip to this place for supplies he took more than was his custom and went away with the team and wagon be- longing to his brother in law.

Five Graduate in Mid-Year; Record
 Attendance Now of 565

With total attendance of five hun dred and sixty-five students, the Tenn De Normal and Training Schools will start this morning on the second half of the 1914-15 term.

Three hundred and fittyseven students will be on hand for the new semester this morn ing and there are hopes for the ad- dition of still others within few days. in the training school the attendance mark has reached POS, another large gain over last year, due partially to the regular growth of the institution and again to the inauguration of the new kindergarten department last fall
 Unusual to the past. five students graduated from the normal with the close Of the first semester last Friday They were: Misses Pearl GOrrell, Rena Higgins. Winona Perrigo, Laura Las sator and Mary Wells.
 President Matthews hopes for the appropriations from the legislature that will provide for general improvements about the grounds, the erection of the new buildings, and various other badly needed necessities about the campus confident that after the committed from the legislature has made an in- vestigation of circumstances at the normal, they mill be able to turn in very favorable report. All of the ap- propriations asked for by the normal board this year are based on actual needs on the campus for it to keep apace with it's regular growth.
