STATE SCHOOL FUNDS IRE

make two appointments of school
funds to the various counties but
twice a. year, State Superintendent OF
Education, C. o. Case, has made an
extra apportionment.
Mr.. Case explained his action, in
that the money had accumulated from
back taxes, and rather than let the
cash be idle, he decided to divide it
among the counties. The money is
divided according to the number of
school children in each county, Mari

of the counties her share being So

$3S $3.50.

WEIRD TRIBAL CUSTOM
AMONG YUMA INDIANS

There are many unpublished inter.
esting features connected with the
Yuma Indian fiesta now in progress
on the reservation about four miles
from that city.
The fiesta had its origin when the
Yumas commenced to mourn for their
dead who were killed in a great battle
with the Cocopahs, which ended a
long existing trouble between the two
tribes. Ever since them in July of
each year, the Yumas carry on this
fiesta in memory of the Indians of
their tribe who have died during the
proceeding IL months. One of the fea-
lures of the fiesta is the creation of
images. The Indians make small gro
tesque images for the occasion, one to
represent every person who died dur
ing the year and as they are made the
medicine man throws spirit into
each one. These images then repre-
sent the living soul of the departed
friends, and the dances are made in
their honor.
Until few years ago the Indians
made sacrifice at each fiesta, which
was so cruel that the government
finally put stop to it. They would
dig large pit and fill it with grain
and hay and other products. Then
they would place large white horse
in this pit, after the animal had been
gaudily decorated and passed through
some sort of process of witchery, and
after dancing about the pit for hours
the live horse, in addition to the other
contents of the pit, would be buried
as a sacrifice, to the Great Spirit. 1t
is said the Indians gave up this sac
rificial feature with much reluctance,
declaring at the time that it robbed
the ceremony of the most important
part Of its significance-Yuma Sun.

SMALL MECHANICAL
CONTINUANCE IS WONDER

Many of the most wonderful inven-
tions of the ages have been but SIM
pie contrivances which brought for
tunes to the investors and but little
to the man who brought it about.
Many wonders are wrought by me-
chanical devices which, simple in
themselves, yet productive of untold
value to the striving, struggling
human brain. The little old safety
razor went begging for time, yet
later brought millions to the invest
ors.
To our mind, nothing in recent
years has been invented to relieve the
human mind of detail, more complete
ly than the little compact machine
called the Merchant Calculating Ma
chine"
That few levers will give you the
correct result of any problem you
want to solve does not seem reason
able, but it is here and here to stay.
To one fundamentally inclined, it is
better amusement than a music box.
The company owning the little
wonder, have concluded to perfect
their plant and in order to quadruple
the output of the machine, which have
met with so much favor in the big
business Offices and for that reason
business offices, are offering some Of
the stock for sale at very reason
able price for limited time.
F. j. Giurovich, representing the
firm, has been demonstrating the ma
chine here for few days at the Com
mercial hotel, and would be pleased
to show it to persons interested in it.
