The principal high schools of tbe country have met the requirements for being accredited by the association. The graduates of any high school which is accredited by the asso- citation are admitted to the col leges and universities in the as- sociation without the usual en. trance examination. One of the requirements that high schools must meet is that the minimum educational attainment of all teachers of academic subjects must be equivalent to gradua- tion from a college or university belonging to the North Central Association of Colleges and Sec ondary Schools requiring the completion of a four year course of study in advance of stan- dard four.year high school course.

THOUSANDS OF DUCKS.

Keer stated yesterday that while in the valley during the forenoon. he saw a flock which would number no less than one thous- and basking in a newly irrigated field of alfalfa In the Bard section the same condition pre- vails. It is not the season to kill ducks, however, and unless one of the animals" attacks a fellow and his life is in dauger, he has no lawful right to shoot it, no matter what damage they may do his crop. Last year there were so many ducks in the Bard section that farmers lost heavily on their account. A man from the Imperial valley said yesterday that every season they infest that country to such an extent thousands of dollars worth of crops are destroyed.- Yuma Sun.

Railroad Will Tap New rimbnr Bel.

The checking up work of the preliminary survey of the pro- prosed Snowflake &White Noun tain railroad is about completed. Those in position to know state that grading and bridge building will be started by October 1. and that the construction of this road will be rushed to compile tion. It is estimated that train service will be established to Snowflake by July 4, 1918, or not later than September of 1918.
 The northern terminus of the road will tap the Santa Fe main line at Holbrook and the south ern terminus at Cuff Cienega, in the Sitgreaves national for est, a distance of seventy miles.
 This road will tap the finest timber belt in the United States and one of the finest bodies of commercial timber in the world.
 With a terminus at Cuff Cien- ega the road will be in the min- eral belt of Globe, Rice and Clifton, giving an outlet to the north from that section. This road will become one of the i'm portant railway lines in Arizona. The Messenger.

Chas. F. Wills, of the Arizona State Bureau of Mines, has been in Patagonia a few days this week, in making a trip covering practically the entire state, ar ranging for a series of lectures to be given in the extension work of the mine bureau in the fall and winter months. The lectures will be given in Pata- gonia at the Opera House, the date to be announced later, but will probably be two or three months from this date. The lecture will include first aid work, occupying two days.

OOcbL acting under it's recent ruling that married men should not be exempted unless it was clearly shown that the families were wholly dependent upon them, reversed forty six cases from Cochise county to which ex' emptiou had been granted. The board also reversed the ruling of the Cochise board in three cases in which exemptions had been refused.
 A feature of the work of the State Bureau of Mines, is it's publicity department, which is in two distinct branches, it's ser vice within the state and that outside of the state. The Blu reau is not hampered by red tape, and when important min ing information comes in that may be of particular value to the people of the state, it is i'm mediately supplied to the news papers for publication. It is particularly gratifying to note that the papers use it promptly.

KEEPING ONES TEMPER.

If you get mad because things don't
20 your way it is pretty good sign
your way is not the true way. 1t very
often happens that mans good inten-
tions are tainted and ruined because he
becomes incensed when others do not
agree with him. A true service keeps
one kind and friendly. Whenever we
see among our correspondents one who
is greatly irritated at another and at
tempts to burn tar ON him We feel quite
sure the doctrine he espouses is all
wrong. When we read n contribution
in controversy we throw 1t aside I'M
mediately upon seeing an angry thrust,
for we say 10 ourself truth does not act
that way. When a man asks us TO do
something We don't feel inclined to do
and gets mad at our refusal, then we
are quite certain We did just right.
They are weak persons who act Ger.

When a flag pole is in a slantlng or
horizontal position If the rope holding
the upper corner of the flag be pulled
very tight andithe rope holding the
lower corner be islackened somewhat
thus allowing the flag to drop slightly
away from the pole, the wind will spill
out of it. This will do much to prevent
the flag from wrapping around the pole
A little Experimenting will show how
much to slack away the lower corner

150 and 200 young men in the various
departments of service and with the
notice that this week is the last week
for voluntary enlistment, II is certain
that several more will come forward,
who would prefer to volunteer rather
than to take the chance of being draft
ed In counting against the draft 1t
is not expected those, who have gone
into ambulance work, the engineering
service and the supply companies
be figured. but merely those. who have
enlisted in the regular army, the ma
tional guard and in the navy. These
are the departments of service which
must do the real fighting and in these
branches. Bennington probably has
