"Polly" is Dead

Polly, the pet parrot of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Curtis, died last week.
She moped around for several days
gradually growing weaker, until her
frall little body could stand the strain
no longer, and with a last polly,
Poor Polly" the first words she had
uttered for two days, her spirit de-
parted on its farewell trip to the
feathered paradise. Polly was bird
of unusual intelligence and had ac-
quired an extensive vocabulary, and
one never got lonesome when she was
nearby. Her demise is sincerely
mourned In several households
of Liberal, including the writer's,
where she was guest of honor" for
two weeks recently. She was buried
with due pomp and ceremony by the
younger members of the Curtis fami-
ly, and several of the neighbors'
children came over to pay their last
tributes to a feathered friend who
had been source of entertainment tC
them while alive.

Rural America Beautiful.

The time is not far distant when
the country roads of America will be
as picturesque as those in Europe.
In several states we can see the be-
ginnings of concerted movement for
the Identification of the landscapes.
In Iowa, for instance, the landscape
experts Of the horticultural depart
ment of the State College are giving
assistance to many towns and COM
munities in the laying out, parking
and landscaplng Of roads, streets,
school grounds, parks and cemeteries
and their surroundings. Requests
are already coming in from farmers
and rural dwellers for advise and
assistance in farmstead planting, re-
forestizatlon, roadside parking and
other projects. Turning the cow
pastures into parks leaves them as
good and sometimes better as far as
the cows are concerned, and they are
easier to look at as parks. The move
ment will spread. 1t costs little and
means much.

Extension of R. F. D. Service

July 1st will see the r. F. D. ex-
tended to more than million farms
not at present receiving the senvice.
This, 1t is claimed will be done, with
out additional cost to the public, by
the REIMBURSEMENT of routes so as to
avoid Implications and unnecessary
service and by the installation of
motor service upon many routes. AS
the good roads movement bears fruit
In the shape Of passable highways the
year around, more and more routes
will be added until practically every
farm in the United States will be on
a rural free delivery route. This,
with parcel post facilities for the
market OF farm produce, will mean
millions Of dollars to the American
farmer.

COUNTY SCHOOL
 REPORTS ARE GOOD
From S':nday's Daily.)

(From S'1day'S Daily.)
 Returning yesterday from an off cial visit to the schools at McCabe and Humboldt, w. Curtis Miller, county superintendent, reports that he found both schools in a hourishing condition. Two years ago the school at McCabe lapsed on account of the attendance being less than the num- Der which enables a school to draw funds for its support. Soon there after, however, money sufficient to support the school until such time as it could be officially continued was bequeathed in the Parsons will, and from this estate it has been kept go- ing. Mir. Miller says that the at tendance is not up to the legal standard as yet, but that under the direction of its present teacher, Miss Blanche Mcdonald, there is good in terest and prospects that soon it will be able to again draw money, from the school fund.
 The superintendent visited the Humboldt school Friday, and says he was gratihed at the progress be- ing made in the three departments, under the tutelage of George Gamble, principal, and Mrs. Abbie Rambo, Miss Eleanor Fay and Miss Marguer- ite Stephens teachers. Last fall the school building was enlarged and inn proved by the addition of one room and the remodeling of the two old departments, and the average attend ancc for the first five months of the present school year shows an increase of fifteen over the average of last year, this being one of the best equipped county schools in Yavapai county.
 Reports have been received from the schools at Mayer and on the Crown King line, showing material progress recently, according to MT. Miller. The Mayer school has three departments, over which Mrs. Ward Wheeler prcsidcs as principal, the teachers being Mrs. Laura Chalmers and Miss Mary Richardson. The at tendance in this school has averag- ed five higher for the past five school months than during the previous year.

He also stated that with the new custom ore plant at Crown King being available for mar kcting the product of many old mines in that belt, this movement will be an induccment for many mines to again become active.

FATHER BENNETT
 IS CALLED BY DEATH (From Sundays Daily.)

Father Frederick T. Bennett, pass ed away at Phoenix yesterday after noon, was the sad tidings received by many in this city last night. Ex- pressions of sorrow over the loss of this well known Christian, were many, and aside from religious cir cles his death is universally regretted.
 For nearly ten years he was the rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church in Prescott, where his sincere minis trations to the afflicted in charitable acts so freely and willingly extended, made him beloved by all. His benev- olence was a beautiful trait of his every day life, and the many gener- ous deeds shown those even outside the realms of his church. attracted admiration from all.
 Over five years ago, he was stricken with paralysis, since which time he had been in poor health. He retired from active pulpit duties and was called to Phoenix in another capacity of his church. His health continued to fail, and finally ne became bedrid- den. He was born at Windsor, Eng land, about sixty years ago, but had been in the United States for over quarter of a century Several sisters and brothers survive at the old home. The funeral will take place next Tuesday afternoon in Phoenix.

(From Thursdays DaiIy.)

lETOul lHuIS Sudy OdAJ.J
 Messrs. Rhodes and Jackson, meat merchants of Humboldt, will defer crossing even a small sized rivulet in the future during an Arizona rain storm. They had thrilling expert encc last Saturday, when both had narrow escapes from drowning.
 They were going from the shelter town to Dewey in wagon and be- tween the two places gulch but a few feet deep was running with full head of water. They knew the country. and paid no attention to the flow as the team went in. In an in stant thereafter they realized the dan ger, when tlH horses were swept oft their feet and the wagon was upset. Rhodes jumped out and attempted to release the animals, while Jackson was swept away, and landed on the opposite side. Rhodes was carried under, and when he regained his feet quite distance below, was in an ex- haustcd condition It was believed for several minutes he was dead.
 The place that carried such a large head of water is less than half mile from Humboldt, and in dry weather is but a little dry sand wash not over three feet deep and about thirty feet wide.

ANOTHER OF GOV. HUNTS
 BOYS LANDED HERE
(From sundaYs pal1yl

Ed Bauer is playing checkers with his nose in the county bastile to pay for his fun in turning in false fire alarm from hrebox twenty-nine in the redlight district last Thursday night, and he will have ten days to think over the sport he engaged in to the discomfort of the fire depart ment and detriment of the city in general. Bauer pleaded guilty to the charge when arraigned before Judge J. NJ. Aitken, who promptly assessed fine of ''ten or ten"
 Robert Robbins, newly appointed chief of police, made the arrest. the first of his official career, after hay ing been informed by a Chinaman who said he saw the man when he broke the glass in the box In addi- ton to this evidence some of the in mates of resorts in the redlight dis trict, who were frightened when the alarm was sprung, said that Bauer told them not to worry, he was "just having some fun with the fire boys"
 No sooner had Bauer landed in jail than he commenced to dig hole through the wall to make his escape. This was discovered by Robbins, who placed him in cell. MT Robbins says that Bauer is another of Cover nor Hunts boys" who was recently released from the governors pleasure resort at Florence on parole. The case will be reported to the governor.
 Forged Check.
 The crime for which Bauer was sent to the penitentiary was forging and cashing check, using the name of George C. Ruffner. He served but one of a fourteen-year sentence.
 It developed last night that at about the time the fire alarm was turned in by Bauer a small blaze had been started at the door of one of the redlight resorts, which failed to burn. Someone had used piece of paper in the form of funnel through which to pour oil into a crack in the door from the outside, and then set a lighted match to the funnel The half-burned funnel and oil on the door told the story of attempted arson. Whether Bauer is connected with this piece of work is not known.

 The same action was taken relative to Senate Bill No. 43, in- troduced by Senator Sims (Cochise) which makes it a mis- demeanor to obtain credit through fraud, misrepresenta- ton or false statement. The bill has the backing of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association and reputable merchants who have suffered in the past because there has been no way in which a dealer might be punished for making false statements relative to his assets.
