Sun Defeats Bosalusa.

The B. H. S. Jrs, played the, Sun
basket ball team last Saturday at
Sun. The game was entered with
great enthusiasm, both teams being
eager for victory.
Regardless of the fact that the
Sun boys outweighed our bows
twenty pounds to the man they
played excellent. The B. H. S. BOYS
lost to the Sun team in their passing
and shot several difficult field goals.
The court being in the middle of an
old road and having small trenches
running through it, made it very
hard to dribble the ball and it not
being lined off they couldn't tell
when the ball was out of bounds.
Two or three of the B. H. S. boys
were slightly injured in getting the
ball out of bushes and mud puddles.
Mizell and Fraser of the Rio first
team played with Sun. Mizell started
making twelve points out of six
teen. Fraser and also the Sun bows
played good ball. All of the Boga-
lusa boys played well.
Refree Underwood had to call
very few fouls; at the end of the
first half the score stood 8-4 in fav-
or OF Sun and at the end of the !
game 16-12in favor of Sun. The B.
H. S. lineup was as follows: Robert
Collins, Robert Lambrieht and
Searcy Young, forwards, Carl Starns
center, llous Keaton and Eddie
Moore guards, Virgil Underwood
referee.
Several rooters went down with
High School boys among them be-

vivid memories of the eventful past
came like floodtide into the con-
sciousness of that great mind, as he
retrospected the turbulent scenes of
the war, and prospected the mo-

What emotions must have stirred
that great soul in this place of re-
tirement as he communed with
fairies of the forest and nymphs of
the sea! Like the aftermath of a
busy eventful day which comes in
half conscious dreams at night, the
mind of the great secessionist must
have been much possessed by self

Necessity for Leadership and Large Co-oberatiue Effort to Clue the Whole Country KnolDledge
 Of the Most Successful Country Schools

ership may be found in this country the most striking proofs of what can be done to tie our schools to our life. The hope is eventually to make the school what it should be, and easily may be made to be, the very heart of the community-so club and coop erative center as well as school.
 There would seem to be nothing visionary in such hope. To effect this evolution there is needed pri- marily leadership, and this the gov ernment must give if it is to realize it's desire for a people who are both skilled and happy. The spirit of our people is against paternal govern ment We do not take with kindness to an authority that is mandatory. There is sound belief that a people who make their own way are in the end riper and of stronger fibre than those who accept what is not the re- suit of common determination. But this spirit of intense individualism does not make us independent of or indifferent to useful methods and help full standards And it is these that we can reveal. It is these that we should find and place in service, rather than force the disconnected schools of the land to feel their way out or mud dle through" We may not command, but we may show how" This is democracy's substitute for absolutism in the effort to secure efficiency.

Professor Hugo Munster berg is a professor of psychol- ogy at Harvard. His head is filled with ideas, and he knows many things.
 But some things he doesn't know. For instance, he has been taking a fling recently at newspaper reporters, who, he says, habitually ulsrort what men say and do, and the professor regards this as a bad thing for public morals.
 Evidently the professors experience has been with the big city newspaper; but the metropolitan press is but a very small part of the coun- try's press.
 On these newspapers a vast quan- tity of news must be gathered in an extraordinarily short time Accuracy

" and the most successful social enter prise yet undertaken by any people The United States maintains a Bureau of Education in this department, which, upon a small appropriation, col lates as best it can the figures and facts which most inadequately tell the story of the growth and use of this most brilliantly conceived piece of governmental machinery.
 The American people are not indif- ferent to their schools. Quite other wise. They pay for their support al most as much as they do for the sup port of the entire federal government; in round numbers, three-quarters of a billion dollars year, which keeps an army of 100000 teachers at work. Ed ucation is indeed our foremost indus try, from whatever point of view it may be regarded. Yet, I am assured that it has made less progress than any of our other industries during the past 30 years.

WASHINGTON, Dec.

S., and, as a result, it can safely be said, that diplomatic relations are at the breaking point.
 President Wilson and Secretary of State Lansing are reserving comment until the official text of the reply are received: so far only the press ab- stracts have been received. But it is authoritatively stated that the U. s. will not enter into an exchange of opinions with Austria and will decline to discuss the facts regarding the tor pedoing and shelling of the Ancona, with the subsequent loss of American

 Prof. Munsterberg is provincial. like many other dwellers in Eastern cities In the small towns the people are close to their newspaper Frequently the editor knows everybody in the county Accuracy becomes a deadly necessity.
 No reporter or editor who is worthy the name dares say he does not care whether what he writes is true or not His profession and his pride in 1t oe- mand that he gives to it the best he has in him. Accuracy, attention to de- tail, truth are only some of the things he must give to his paper.

Six car loads Of machinery, to be used by the o. & c. Construction Co.,, in building the "Warrenite" road from Yuma to Somerton, arrived in Yuma yesterday, which goes to show that real work on the road is to start as soon as the proper railroad sidings can be prepared by the Southern Pa cific.
 The construction company has now leased a strip of land near the old gin, and will maintain it's headquarters at that point Actual work on the road has already begun by the tearing out of the wooden culvert on Third street.

 Whenever Sim Says something, he always lives up to s.-this is well Known here in Yuma. And he told our reporter these very words:
 On these evenings I will place my merchandise before the public at such low prices that some of the peoples hair will stand up straight-if they have any hair on their 'cabeza.''

The dead town!

lC OCdQ tOW u
 Did you ever go into a town and, as you stepped from the train, have it strike you sud denly that the town was dead?
 Have you ever had a town described to you as a dead town?
 Have you ever stopped to analyze just what is meant by these words Dead town?
 In the last analysis, they mean just one thing and that is that the merchants of the town don't advertise!
 A dead town has certain positive aspects of demise which are as bald as a piece of crepe hanging on the door of a private house. The stores seem to be merely existing. Their shelves are covered with apparently unsaleable goods. The storekeepers seem to be wing with each other to see which will win the first prize as the town grouch.
 If you talked with them, they knock ed the town, they knocked business, they knocked the mail order house. They were continually complaining that other people did business and made money but that they didn't seem to be able to sell anything. They sure guessed it was the town. Yes, that was 1.-the town.
 If you asked the merchant if he advertised, he would have looked at you with amaZement. What was the use of advertising when business was so bad People who had money to spend, he would tell you, were sending it to the mail order houses. No, he would say he didn't advertise! He wouldn't thrown good money after bad
 On the other hand, go into a live town and what will you see? The mer- chants have attractive displays in their stores. The daily or weekly news papers are filled with big announce ments of special sales or low-priced goods. They are not afraid of the mail order houses because they have the same means to reach the people advertising makes the mail CT der house great.
 The merchants have their local as sociation for mutual help, and behind the association the local newspaper is pushing, pushing, pushing. Everybody is working and everybody is happy and boosting.
 If you want live town, get behind the newspaper and the newspaper will do the rest. Forget the timeworn ar guments that the paper is a dead one. The paper is alive enough if the people are alive. The surest test of a live town is live newspaper, and news paper can't be alive unless the town boosters do their share.
