The High School
Commencement Ex ,.cises


The twentieth annual cor, nence.
ment of the Scotland High School
was held in the opera house last
Friday evening. The house was
filled to OVERLOOKING and many
were turned away for lack of room.
The rostrum was beautifully decor
ated with the class %colors, silver
grey and rose, and suspended above
was the class motto, "Who Thinks
Can Conquer"
The class consisted of twelve
graduates--eleven girls and one
boy. From the appearance of
the class one vas impressed with
the fact that if our citizenship is
to receive the full benefits of u
educational system the rights will
have to be. conferred upon the
feminine branch. The masculine
branch was we'll represented as far
as it went, but it was in a hopeless
minority.
After an invocation by Rev.
John Kaye, and a chorus, orations
were given by the members of the
class as follows Misses Carolyn
McLachlan with a Statutory ad-
dress, Helen Robinson, Nellie
Beecher, Laura Plattner, Frances
each, Kathryn Long, Mr.. Oliver
Deming, Misses Luella Patten,
Iris Alter, Dena Schneider and
Harriet Patten with a vaIedictory
address. Miss Myrtle Smiley was
excused from delivering her grafton
as she had just returned from the
hospital and was physically unable.
F. L.. Wheeler, president of the
board, with a few remarks compli.
menting the class and the school
for the creditable work that it is
doing, presented the members of
the class with their diplomas.
The oratiols were carefully pre-
pared and nicely delivered. The
entire program went through with
out a break and was very credit
able to the members of the class.
Before the audience was dismiss
sed Prof. McVay announced that
be had been presented with a
scholarship by the association of
colleges, good for one years tuition
and incidental expenses at any one
the colleges which the student
might choose to attend, and which

of the class who would

Carolyn McLachlan, the saluta-
who will attend Dakota
at Mitchell.
Scotland has for many years
,rided itself upon its schools and
las been constantly adding new
eatures to the course. Next year

WHAT FLAGSTAFF OFFERS
 THE AMERICAN TOURIST

A corporation has been organized at Flagstaff, a famous halting place in Arizona, designed to build a hotel costing s1O0,OOO or s200,00O. Flag staff, originally a lumber-camp, IS surrounded by many attractions of mountain scenery, and so, the Santa Fe Railway and an ocean-to-ocean automobile highway passing that way, has become an attractive summer re- sort. Among the natural attractions are the San Francisco Peaks, a re- markable group of cliff-dwellings, some cave-dwellings of ancient races which are puzzle to the archaeolog- ist, not less than 800 extinct volca- noes, and a lava-bed which looks as though it had been deposited only a few days ago. These and other sights are within an area covered with noble yellow pine, and favored by a summer climate than which none better can be found on earth.-The Earth.

REMARKABLE YOUNG LADY
 . TELLS THRILLING STORY


 Rose Winslow, the girl textile worker of New York, one of the re- markable figures of the suffrage movement of this country, spoke in Flagstaff Wednesday for the Woman's Party, or Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage, which is opposing the reelection of President Wilson and his support because of their op- position to the Federal suffrage amendment, which women of the east and west have for four years demand ed passed.
 From childhood one of the exploited children of the Massachusetts mills, Miss Winslow tells of the need of ex- plotted women and children for the ballot in the Eastern centers of popu- lation with a thrilling power. An organized woman, she makes an espe- cial appeal to labor men and women, to whom her message from the east is especially addressed.
 Miss Winslow came to this country from Poland a child and began her tragic apprenticeship as wage slave at the age of eleven. From the be- ginning she had an uncanny power over words, learning English rapidly and becoming interested early in the fight for the franchise in Massachu- sets and New York. She became one of the brilliant labor orators of the mills. Contracting consumption from her unsanitary work in the shops, after a long period of recuperation, she began speaking for suffrage, de- scribing the helplessness of wage earning women without the ballot.
 In Flagstaff Miss Winslow told of her dramatic meeting with President Wilson, when she led great deputa- ton of working women, representing every organized trade, to the Presi- dent during the 63rd Congress to ask him to support the Federal Amend ment and make the women's battle for bread in the congested eastern centers easier. Miss Winslow made her plea to deaf ears, the Presidents only reply being that he was inter ested" in these pleas of the toilers, but that he could not Ego ahead Of his party" Since this rebuff Miss Winslow has put her whole heart into work for the Federal Amendment, trying to make working men and women see the importance of it's passage and asking them to oppose the reelection of Wilson on this ground alone.
 In the Rockefeller coal camps or Colorado, where she has just spoken daily to great audiences composed al- most entirely of miners and their wives, Miss Winslow has made pro- found impression. She will speak in every mining camp in Arizona, and in all the larger cities of this state.

WILD GAME CENSUS
 ON ARIZONA FORESTS

A "wild game census" is the latest wrinkle of the United States Forestry department in the Arizona-New Mexi- co district, according to Forest Ex- aminer Aldo Leopold, who is in charge of the census.
 It would be a very nice thing for the census taker and his aides if the various wild animals would step right up and be counted when the enumer- ator comes around, but naturally they are a little bashful and it becomes necessary to adopt other methods of counting them.
 One of the methods used for enum- erating deer is to count the bucks killed during the season and then null tiply by a factor. The factor chosen by MT. Leopold is ten to one.
 Thus for every buck killed it is assumed that there are ten deer of every kind in the region of which the census is being taken. Another me thod is to investigate the deer tracks and use factor estimated on the pro- portion of COW tracks to the number of cattle in a given region.
 Mir. Leopold believes that the wild game census will prove of great bene- fit in the work of wild game protec- ton, and has enlisted the aid of a number of persons familiar with the mountain regions in southern Arizona in getting his data.

EXPERIMENTING 0N NEW
 FISH SCREENS FOR STREAMS

Santa Fe, N. M,. Oct. 9.--In the be- lief that big part of New Mexico's trout supply perishes annually in irri- gation ditches, the State Game War den, the Santa Fe Water Company, and the Forest Service have agreed to install a series of demonstration fish screens in the company's ditches leading out of the Rio Santa Fe. Here tofore, they say, nobody has invented a fish screen that will turn fish and at the same time keep clear of debris. The newly invented Utah screen, however, promises to fill the bill, and the object of proposed experiment is to show the public what it will do. It is hoped to induce landowners all over the Southwest to install the screens and save the millions of trout that arc now lost in ditches each year.
 The Utah screen consists of re- volving drum encasing waterwheel. The wheel furnishes the power to turn the drum, which is fitted with devices to lift debris over the screen and dump it into the ditch below.
 Officials of the Santa Fe Game Protective Association say that the screens will be installed and working before winter.

LOAF IS
FAILURE

Getting his information first
hand, Mayor Fawcett spent three
hours Saturday morning visiting
groceries and bakeries in Tacoma,
weighing loaves of bread that he
found on sale, and interviewing
tho statesmen.
81 found that Tacoma has al
ready whipped the bread trust, :"
was the mayors report.
"All of the non-trust bakers
are selling large loaves of bread
a. reasonable prices, and are con-
filming themselves to the five and
10-cent sizes.
There is utterly no demand for
the l5-cent loaves, and they are
being taken off the market rapid
ly.
Baking Own Bread.
"Most of the bakers have re-
turned to the standard of selling
10-ounce loaves at cents and 20
ounce loaves for 10 cents.
What | want all bakers to do
is to establish a similar scale,
with the added inducemnt of Of
fering six five-cent loayes for a
quarter, or three 10-cent loaves
for that amount.
"The grocers told me that the
bottom had fallen out of the mar
ket for trust bread.
THE people are baking their
own bread. And those who have
to rely on bakers bread, are
stunning the trust"
In some places Fawcett found
the loaves were even larger than
he had asked. In some stores
bread is being sold at and 8
cents.
Whipped, He Says.
Housewives telephoned the
mayor every few minutes Satur-
day morning asking him the
names of non-trust bakers.
1--WE don't want to patronize
the trust, but we have no way of
knowing which bakeries are in
the organization" said one of the
women.

pal bread" said the mayor. THE
trust is whipped already"
