TWENTY-E|GHT
SCHOOL D|ST'S !
IN CHA AREA

ella county has twenty-eight school
districts and ranks foremost in Arizona
along educational lines. Communities
that are in the process of settlement or
that are enjoying rapid development
are confronted with problems that have
ceased to be predetermined in older and
more densely populated settlements
/ Further. it seems to be the trait of the
4 Arizonian-and nowhere is that tralr
more pronounced than in ella county
! to expect and demand for himself ana
his family conditions as good as those
that exist in the older states of the
Union. 1t is such trait that makes SO
much for the rapid progress of Young
| Arizona"
Not the least of her problems has
been and is the education of the youth
of ella county. The citizenship of this
! county has always been and is more
determined than ever that an education
be given every child within it's borders,
to be equal to that offered anywhere
! in the land Arizona is the land Of
opportunity for the adult, and the child
that must be equipped to grasp such
opportunities with maturity. For tins
reason the residents of ella county have
ever been ready to contribute literally
and bountifully for the building, sup
port and maintenance of schools.
Schoohouses First
In each city or camp to grow up in
ella county one of the first buildings
to be erected has been the schoolhouse.
AS the population increases. larger ana
better school buildings are erected
And it is this system that so marks the
progress of education of the youth of
ella county. Vast sums of money have
been expended in ella county during
the past two years for improvements
/ of her school system. Miamfs new high
school, erected at cost of $lo0,oeo,
will be ready for occupancy by f'eDru-
airy l, and will rank with the best IN
the state The phenomenal growth or
that community during the past six
years made the new school very neces-
sary. Hayden is also erecting mod
ern nine-room grade school building
I as a cost of $4,000, and it is under
stood that it will be completed by the
first of the year Inspiration schools
! enrolment has increased so rapidly
that it requires a new room which IS
I being built. 57As.
( As class it must be admitted that
school teachers are generally compen-
stated in less mea sure than in any other
profession However. such is not the
case in ella county. Most of the school
boards are composed or men who re-
/ alize that the most important problem
/ confronting them is higher efficiency
/ in teachers-and with this in view bet
/ ter salaries are being paid them, ana
4 higher results are being accomplished
among the students.

modern house admirably suited for club
purposes. With this encouraging start
the club was quickly formed. funds
were raised and "a splendid golf course,
one of the finest in the southwest, was
laid out by experts Then tennis
courts were built, trap shooting grounds
arranged and finally a dancing pa

erected.

not confined to the Gobre Vale. Globe

DALLAS GIRLS adopt SAILORS

EVERY girl "a dept -a-recruit" is the
title of a movement Just started in
Dallas.
A Young woman telephoned to
Lieut.. d. +. Kemp, in charge of navy
recruiting, and asked him for the
name of Grave and handsome
Young recruit, who would like to be
adopted by nice young woman" Size

church. says still another. Now, all
of these arguments may or may not be
true-but these people are forgetting
one thing. We are placed on earth
not for the accumulation of riches, or
lands. not for the pursuit of pleasure,
not for the final attainment of luxury
or ease. but for the quest of character.
Seek We just the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness and all things shall
be added unto YOU And history
amply attests to the fact that faithful
attendance upon the worship of God
in His holy temple is very great
help to a soul who would follow in the
footsteps of the most perfect character
the world has ever known. Christ has
promised His presence where two or
three are gathered together in His
name; and he who comes always seek
ing that presence will find it-and let
us not forget this. If there ever was a
man who didn't need to go to church
it was jesus Christ. If there ever was
man to whom a church service might
have been disappointing it was Jesus
Christ. And yet ! read from his holy
word: Jesus, as His custom was, en-
tered the synagogue" May that hal
lowed custom entermore and more into
the lives of the people of this com
munity. May His blessing rest upon
each and every church during not only
| this new year, bat in the years 10
come.

ASBESTOS ADDED
To CHA WEALTH

The first discovery of asbestos in
the Globe district was made by T D.
West in 1913 on Ash Creek. Fourteen
claims were taken up by Mr.. West>ana
f. Pattee on Ash Creek. about p miles
in direct y. % degrees from Globe.
Ash creek is a short stream, heading
against Sycamore creek and flowing
north through a rugged canyon into
the Salt river. The asbestos occurs at
a depth of 600 feet in the canyon, the
eastern slope of which has the follow
ing geological section:
Thickness
DlabeSe .........-....--..... ll5 feet
Layers of gray white lime
stone. carrying three belts OF
asbestos u to IA inches in
thickness ....-............ 80 feet
Gray limestone partly chert,'
locally banded and contain
ing sheets and nodules OF
serpentine and some ashes
los ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS $50 feet
Quartize and some conslom-
crate .....,............ 300 feet
Nodules Of serpentine occur here and
there in the locally banded limestone
near the asbestos belts. The asbestos
belts especially the one near The CON
tact with the diabase are more or less
continuous for mile, but vary from
place to place
The principal belt is the one nearest
/ the diabase and is usually separated
from the diabase by a few feet of lime
stone. Other belts occur higher up in
the limestone to distance of about 80
/ feet. The limestone is cut by dixie OF
diabase rising from the main body; the
! highest grades of asbestos are found in
/ the limestone where it is cut by the
/ diabase dixie.
| Since the first discovery of asbestos
in the Globe district by West. a num-
Der Of other claims have been located,
| all in the vicinity Of Globe, and very
! active development work is carried on
| throughout the district. A notable event
! i'll the asbestos industry of the state
has been the recent installation of a
/ milling plant at the Fisk and Shell
| property on Ash creek, 40 miles from
4 Globe. The mill was constructed by E.

LONG DRAWN FUNERAL
Negro Preachers Body Lay In State
For Three Days.

The greatest Ito do" over corpse
ever known in this part of the country
occurred here last week, when the
colored Baptist minister, Will Dirks
died. Drks died last Sunday, and on
Saturday before he died he asked that
his body lie in state" in the colored
Baptist church three whole days and
nights before burial. His family and the
church members carried out his instruc-
tions. Funeral services were held from
IL o'clock a. m. TO 7o'clock in the even

were in attendance about fifteen
preachers from neighboring towns and
about fifty odt-Of-town colored folk.
The church was crowded toits limit and
hundreds of negroes stood on the out

TOO GOOD TO Be TRUE.

Have you ever wondered what the
result would be if the people of this
town thought and said nothing but good
of each other for thirty or sixty days?
Think. 1t would work a revolution in
both mind and body. People who are
constantly nagging would have lost
the habit. The best that is in each one
would have unconsciously forced its
way to the fore and nobility of character
would have made rapid strides toward
supplanting the ignOble and vicious in
man ard womsn-kind. Our town might
not be Garden of Eden, but it would
come nearer to it than any spot on
earth. And it wouldn't cost US penny.

GRATEFUL TO THE CRAFT.

In speaking of the State Fair secre-
try, Shelton Saufley, of the Interior
j Journal, makes use of the following
kind words MANY friends here were
when popular Bob Elkin,
OF the Lancaster Record, did not land
the place. 1t looked like it might have
been a good move to have picked a
of statewide acquaint-
ence like Bob Elkin for such a respon-
sble position rather than man who
is practically unknown out in the
country districts. The Blue Grass fair
at Lexington made ten strike when it
named Denny h. Goode as Secretary.
There isn't country newspaper man
in the state but would work his head
off to help Denny make a success of his
Lexington fair and the same would
have been true had Bob Elkin been
placed at the head of the State Fair. "
We are deeply grateful to him and
many newspaper men through out the
state. for their kind interest and in
thanking them we ask that they re-
member, it is still OUR State fair and
they should join with US, in putting our
shoulders to the wheel and making it
the best fair in all the states.
