VACATION SCHOOL
 DOUBLES IN SIZE

Entering today upon the second week of the present season. the Taca- ton school of Trinity Pro- Cathedral has an enrolment exactly twice as large as one year ago. At that time there were 125 boys and girls in at tendance. At this time the enroll ment amounts to 250. Dean Scarlett and those who are giving their time and attention to the work are eX- tremely gratified at this showing.
 The fact that the school is non- denominational and that all classes of boys and girls are welcome, has gone a long way toward insuring the success of the needed institution. Be- cause of the unprecedented attend ance it had been found necessary to designate days for the boys and other days for the girls.
 The complete schedule is as fol- lows:
 The kindergarten meets on the first four mornings of the week. The kin dergarten includes both boys and girls each day.
 The intermediate and senior de- partments are divided as follows: Tho boys meet on Monday. Wednesday and Friday; the girls meet on Tues day, Thursday and Friday.

RUSH TO SECURE
 STATE MONEY ON
 LOAN BY NEW LAW

| Loans of state money to the amount
 of $51,166 have been approved by the
 state loan board in the past three days,
 or since Senate Bill No. 95 became a law on June '. This is by far the largest amount of state funds ever loaned within the same space of time. This flood of loan applications was caused by the features of the new law governing the loaning of state money on Arizona lands. By this law state money now can be loaned on lands to within 50 per cent of their assessed valuation and also may be made on unimproved land, the money to be used in making improvements.
 Maricopa county led all other coun- ties in the number of claims, fifteen of which were approved for loans amounting to $3S 600 Graham was sec ond, with six applications for $10466 There was one application from Santa Cruz. county for $1600 and one from
 Yuma county for $5OO both of which were approved
 All applications for loans of state money must be accompanied by fee of $5, according to officials of the state treasurers office If the applica tion is rejected, the fee will be returned according to the new law, which says in part:
 'The state treasurer shall charge for filing applications for state loans s5. In case any application for a state loan, filed with the state treasurer, is re- Jected, the fee therefor shall be re- funded to the applicant.
 This S5 fee is returned only when the application is rejected" said A. F. Stelzer, deputy state treasurer. and not when the application is withdrawn by the applicant"
 If any land owners in the Salt river project want to borrow state money on their land, added MT Stelzer. they should file their applications as soon as possible because, under the ruling of the attorney general, land for which water right applications have been made cannot be accepted for loans of state funds.
 We are informed by the reclamation service that land owners have until July IS to make applications for water rights whereby they can take adyant- age of the twenty-year payment plan Ii the application is made after July IS they must pay within ten years Since July, 1916, more than $25OOO of state money has been loaned on Arizona land. Awaiting the new law were applications accounting to more than S12O,000. According to the terms 1 of this new law not more than $5.0O0 | can be loaned to any one person, nor can loans be made on land appraised at less than S10 per acre. The state loan board consists of the governor. secretary of state and state treasurer.
