SCHOOL NOTES.
You Are Invited to Visit School.

Chapel exercises were conducted
Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Trott of the
Methodist church. He brought out the
fact that one should aim to have a
complete mastery of himself rather
than allow habits to dictate to the in
dividual.
Charles Smith, Loren Smith, Dorothy
Jacobs, Alice Stevenson, Sarah Bates,
Pearl McGrady, Allen Young, May
Wotschka and Alice VOLTS, of the third
grade did perfect work in spelling dur
ing the past week.
Mrs. j. IIirleman was a visitor in
the first grade Tuesday.
School was dismissed at 3 'clock last
Friday afternoon and for a half hour
the band gave very fine entertain
ment on the grounds in the front Of
the school building.
English IL have finished reading
Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. -
Mrs. Wilbur and Mrs. Taylor were
visitors in the first grade Last Friday.
Laura Stout of the fourth grade and
her sister Katherine of the sixth, have
moved to Plymouth, Ill.
The first tenth-grade class meeting Of
the year was held last Friday evening
at the Memorial hall, the high school
teachers being guests of the class. A
very good time is the predominating
report from those in attendance.
The first of the series of basketball
games played by the High School Bas-
ketball league was played last Friday
Immediately after the band concert
AT that time the team captained by
Devere Fish defeated that under the
leadership of John Lyle by score
of i to o. The second game, that
between teams led by Theodore Fer
guson and Russell Hindenach, was won
by the former S team by score of IL
to 6. On Tuesday night of this week
the two winners of last week staged a
game in which after an uphill battle
the team captained by ID. Fish defeat
ed that of Theodore Ferguson by a
score of s to g. These games are fea-
tured by fast and determined playing
and serve to keep interest in this kind
of work keen. The standing Of the
league terms to date is as follows:

county agricultural agent, survey was
made in the high school to determine
the amount of the earnings of the high
school pupils during the recent vaca-
ton. The total report shows that of
the 200 people enrolled in the high
school l76 of them were engaged in
aiding in the grape harvest. The ag-
gregate earnings as reported amounted
to a., 1868. 1t would seem that this
report bears evidence that the charges
made by some few people that high
school students were not desirable help
are entirely unfounded. These earn
lngs certainly prove that the high
school students were directly respon-
sible for the saving of large tonnage
of grapes which might never have been
harvested had il not been for this aid.
The local schools will hold a Parent
and Patrons day on Friday, December
IA. At this time the various rooms
will have specimens Of the work done
by that grade during this year on dis
play and at the same time the regular
classes will be in session in order that
visitors will he able to observe the
work as it is being carried on.

A correspondent writes that he re-
Gently stopped at a confectionery store
to buy 10 cents worth of candy and
received four ounces of taffy cut in
small pieces, each wrapped in oiled pa
per, the pieces put in a pasteboard box
with gold lettering on it, tinsel.cov-
cred string around the box, piece or
wrapping paper around that, and cot
ton Irvine around the whole. He thinks
a simple paper bag would have served
as well in the place of all this boxing,
wrapping and tying. And he is right.
But it is the business of the the candy
seller to please his customers. He
wastes time and material because he
thinks he must do so to hold his trade.
When you buy candy or any other COM
modify, let the dealer understand that
the simpler the wrapping the better
you will like it, and it won t be long
before the waste will end.

 Cowpeas should be planted from Apri. to August l at elevations under 3500 feet. from May to July under 5000 feet, ard from May iG tO June l. at elevations over 5,000 feet. The later dates are for dry farming sections over 3.500 feet. They are not successful at a lower altitude except under irrigation.

OULTRYMEN'S $
 ANNUAL MEET

The annual meeting of thc Arizona State Poultry Association is to be held in the Chamber of Commerce hall Sat urday afternoon, January l3. at D. m., according to q statement by NJ. F.. Bemis yesterday
 Resides the election of officers there are other important matters which will come before the meeting. At the pres ent time there are two state poultry associations, and an effort will doubt . leNs be made to bring about a consoli- dation of the two. Tn that event 1t is likely that the members of the Arizona Staye Association would join, the Ari- zona Poultry Breeders Association and proceed to organize county associa ton.
 The poultry industry at the present time, notwithstanding the high cost of feed, is one of the most flourishing in the Salt River valley. and poultry breeders are already beginning to re- ceive orders for matching eggs. and day y-old chicks at q rate which indi- cates bumper season. f't
 The demand for eggs in the mining towns of the state has probably never been greater, and there is every ndi- cation that prices for guaranteed eggs will remain high enough to make egg production profitable even with high leed prices. Poultry breeders should get together now, no matter whether they are doing q large or small busi- ness, and for that reason il is to the interest of all poultry folks to turn out to the annual meeting of the associa- tion January 1S Ali poultry breeders are welcome. and all who are members of the association or who have ever been members are urgently requested to be present"

With the above words, Lillian Russell, an unquestioned authority on feminine attractiyeness, places no uncertain value on nice hair as beauty asset. Unkempt, uncared for hair not only cannot be attractive but is actually 2 disgrace.
 But why have ill-kept, untidy hair? By devoting few moments regular ly to brushing and intelligent appl:- cation of NEWBRO'S HERPIC1DE, the hair may be made to yield won- derful returns in increased personal charm.
 Dandruf is the direct cause of more hair trouble than anything else. The hair becomes thin, harsh, un- even ard falls out in quantities. 1t looks dead and lifeless; there is no Iuster. The scalp itches.
 HERPICIDE will remove the dan huff which is causing all the trouble, clean the scalp, give the hair life, snap and luxuriance. The hair stops coming cut, the itching ceases al- most at once and withal there is most gratifying sense of cleanliness.
 To the woman who wishes to make the most of nature's gifts by having fluffy, beautiful hair, NEW EROS HERPICIDE is toilet necessity. 1t is exquisitely per tuned and is delightful hair dressing.
