Commercial Club.

the commercial club were enter
tanned by the domestic science
department at the high school,
and the visit had the effect of
opening the eyes of the visitors
to the grand work being done by
Superintendent Cornelius and his
efficient corps of teachers; and
they made the further discovery
of the total inadequacy of school
accommodations for the army of
children in attendance, and the
many disadvantages under which
both teachers and pupils have to
labor.
Prior to the serving Of the lit
tie luncheon prepared by the do
mestic science pupils, Supt. Cor
nelius piloted the visitors through
the different rooms of the high
and grammar schools. The con-
gested and general unsanitary
conditions apparent stirred up
their civic spirit to the point
where they will insist that some
immediate action be taken, not
only to improve existing condi-
tions, but to increase the school
facilities to properly house and
care for the children.
Winslow has without doubt the
most competent school board of
any town in the state, two Of the
members being experienced ex-
teachers, Mrs. Gillard and Mrs.
Keyes, and the third member, T.
Niethammer, is a careful business
man, with progressive ideas and
full of enthusiasm for the school
developement. To them the con-
ditions at the school have been
patent for year or more, but
their appeals for additional ia
cilities met no enthusiastic re-
sponse, and they have struggled
along as best they could, with
the loyal uncomplaining support
of the faculty, the one bright
spot in their official duties. But
now that our business men have
come in personal contact with
existing conditions, the matter
will undoubtedly be reported to
the commercial club at their next
meeting, in the hope of arousing
a public sentiment strong enough
to get bond issue passed to put
up another building and make
needed improvements in the ones
now in use.
This failure to provide ade-
quate school facilities is not due
from any opposition to the insti-
tuition, but can be charged Who'll
ly to lack of actual personal
knowledge of conditions. Our
people are progressive and want
the best for their children. but
they do not realize how fast the
school population has increased
the past two years. Think of it.!
An average daily attendance of
nearly 700 pupils in two build
ing that cannot comfortably ac-
commodate more than 400. This
city needs another building at
once, and some provision should
be made to meet the demand.
Let US all do our part to give cor
dial support to the school board,
who give freely OF their time,
and to Supt. Cornelius and his
loyal faculty who are working
at such disadvantage to main
tain the high standard OF the
Winslow schools.

The regular social afternoon OF
the Friday club was held at the
home of Mrs. Riley Walcott last
Friday afternoon. Fourteen of
the members were present tc
partake Of the hospitality of the
hostess, which is always pecu-
liarly a feature of Mrs. Walcott' s
social gatherings. The afternoon
was spent with needles as is the
custom of the club, and at five

Mrs. w. P. Blake was charm

Miss Boles of the kindergarten
department, had a mothers day
last Monday afternoon, so they
could gain tirst-hand information
of the work being done. After
the classes we're dismissed the
affair was turned into a social
function for an hour, and a
source Of not a little amusement
was when Miss Boles put the
mothers through some of the
kindergarten stunts. Miss Boles
is threatening to give a father S
day soon, so with this advance
information as to what will be
expected, we would advise the
fathers to commence practicing
up on cutting paper dolls, mould
ing julius Caesar out of mud,
and skipping the rope to music.

From a Phoenix paper we take

known to our young people, and
whose grandmother, Mrs. John
Noble, is still a resident here.
AT the Elks' theatre this
week a local high school youth is
making his debut as a profession
al actor with the Redmond COM
-pany. Earl Galpin, who has
been foremost in local and high
school dramatics, gave his friends
a distinct surprise when he ap-
peared Monday evening in the
role of Almeric St. Aubyn in the
MAN From Home. " His por-
trayal of the difficult role shows
professional finish and he carries
through without flaw the charac-
terization of the ne'er do well
youth intent upon marrying a
girl for her money. Galpin has
considered for some time the
adopting of a stage career and a
few months ago joined a local
dramatic school for that purpose.
His amatuer training aided his
rapid advancement, and in the
casting Of the current stock pro-
duction he was selected for a
trial reading of the role and
made good. " He now has been
made a permanent utility player
of the local stock company. 1t
is young Gilpin's ambition to en-
ter the musical comedy field and
with the mastering Of the stage
technique and the Development
of his singing voice, he will be
ready at the opening Of the sea-
son to join as a regular member
of the musical comedy company.

Sudden Disappearance.

"A llCCIo ripple OF 6KclCGmon
spread over the town this Weel
when it became known that A
Y. Moore, the city attorney, haC
quietly packed up his personal eff
fects and left for parts unknown
last Monday. 1t was known ht
had a case in Phoenix this week
so his absence for a day or two
attracted no unusually remark.
especially when he sent a tele
gram from that city to Attorney
Conwell asking him to take care
of a couple of cases that would
come up in court this week, as he
was detained in the capital city
Wednesday it was discovered
that Mr.. Moore had taken away
with him all his wearing appare
and other small belongings, anc
his office had all the appearance
of being deserted.
What prompted this strange
action on the part of Mr.. Moore
is hard to understand. 1t is
known he was slightly in debt
to some of our local people, but
no one was pressing him for
payment. While his law prac-
tice was not large, he had a good
salary as city attorney, and was
generally considered a promising
young man. He was of a quiet
unobtrusive disposition, and was
slow to make friends, studious,
but lacking in that energetic
fighting spirit that makes a sue
cessful lawyer. His acquaint-
anceS are at a loss to account for
any excuse for his strange ac-
tions, other than a sudden dis
couragement taking possession of
his spirit.

Our Railroad Boys.

The dance given Monday even
ing by the two railroad organiza-
tions, the B. Of r. T. and the B.
of L. E. and T., was certainly
one of the social events of the
season. The committees from
the two orders, assisted by the
ladies, have been busy for a
week getting the decorations in
place, and arranging for the re-
freshments. Their labors were
rewarded by a crowd of enthu-
siastic dancers, who tarried un-
til an early morning hour. Aside
from the successful social fea-
ture, it was profitable financially
to the two. orders.
The ladies Of the B. of L. T.
gave delightful surprise party

VAST AREA OF TEXAS.
Some Of the Magnificent Distances lr

Some Of the Magnificent Distances In
tho Lone Star State.
Those who live in the east and north
have little or no conception of the mag
nifcence of distances in Texas. Here
are just few figures that will help to
illustrate the vastness of area of the
Lone Star State.
The distance from Houston to 81
Paso by the nearest rail route is 833
miles, which is only III miles less than
the distance from New York to Chi
cago, 947 miles.
It is 82O miles by rail from San Anto-
MO to Ell Paso. This is ia miles
greater than the distance from Chicago
to Pittsburgh.
The distance from Echo, Tex, the
most eastern point on a direct railroad
route, to Ell Paso, is 944 miles, or three
miles less than the distance from New
York to Chicago.
The distance from Brownsville, Tex,
on the gulf coast, the easternmost
point on the Texas-Mexican border, to
Ell Paso, the western terminus of the
border, is more than 1900 miles. This
Is greater than the distance from New
York city to Tampa, Fla, or to Spring
field, I'LL It is greater than the dis
lance from New York to st. Louis by
40 miles.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Diana Of Ephesus.

Ephesus was one Of the twelve Ionic
cities of Asia Minor and was situated
In Lydia, near the mouth Of the river
Caystrus. According to Strabo, it was
founded by Androclus, son of Codrus.
1t ultimately came into possession Of
the Romans, and in the time of Au-
gustus it was the greatest place Of
trade of all the cities of Asia west of
the Taurus. st. Paul resided there
three years, but the destruction of its
great temple by the Cloths in 26O A. D.
gave it blow from which it never re-
covered. This was the famous temple
OF Diana. Near the western extremity
of the town are still to be seen some
massive structures, which have since
1868 been carefully excavated. It is
now certain that these stand on the
famous temple site.

GREEN sHELLED FLEAs.
Tiny Parasitss That Attack Nearly Al

Tiny Parasitss That Attack Nearly All
ri a.. Fresh Water Fish.
Scarcely any species Of fresh water
fish is free from the attacks Of the lit
tie DISLIKE fish flea, its dattened, green
ish body being pressed close against
the skin of the fish.
The so called fish louise is neither flea
nor louise, but member of a simple
group Of crustaceans, well known to
naturalists for the parasitic habit Of
most of it's members.
It is far from having reached the ulti-
mate degeneration Of the chronic par
asite, however, and often forsakes its
victim to enjoy the pleasures of the
free.
I have watched the fish heas during
these excursions into the open water;
apparently engaged in their gambols-
tiny greenish disks dashing hither and
thither in direct course, diving sudden
" downward or upward or turning over
and over in a series Of rapid somer-
saults, which have been reckoned to
number some hundred minute.
~ Should a fish flea wish to rejoin a
host it approaches until it is caught
up in the swirl of water which accom-
panies the movement Of the fish, and,
so soon as it touches, it lays quick hold
upon the skin Of its victim by a pair of
peculiar sucker organs, placed on the
Ander surface near the mOuth.-L0nd0n
