SCHOOL SITUATION CHANDLER PUZZLE

CHANDLER, AriZ., Feb. 1S-The old story of Chandler's rapid growth has been set forth time and again in these columns, but perhaps the towns fast increase was never plainer than now, in view of the present school situation The trustees of this district have been worried about providing for increases ever since the term opened last fall. With an enrolment of 585, the capacity of the regular unit system was reached months ago, and to date over 150 pupils are being taught in rooms and small buildings outside. The board has erected two frame buildings on the grounds, but these were filled in a few weeks. Then two rooms east of the school were leased, and later still a portion of the M. k. church across from the school, was rented. Now the directors are confronted with more shortage and it is absolutely impera- tive that at least an eight-room gram mar school be built. Added to this it will be necessary to erect a ward school at the town of Egypt, four miles south, to care for the 200 chilrden ill that vicinity. And the end does not seem to be in sight.

stantial advances. Some speculative issues were even stronger.
 Much of the inquiry for stocks emanated from commission houses. in dicating revival of public interest.
 Over half a score of rails, includ- ing low priced western and southern shares, registered gains of l to , points. Pacifics and coalers again fur nishing the stimulus.
 Selling for profits made little im- pression until the final hour. when United States Steel, marines and some of the inactive equipments yielded part of their gains. American and Baldwin Locomotives meanwhile showing extreme advances of 5la and 7l3, respectively. Sales s0o,O0o shares.
 Money on call and time was tighter, the rate for the latter holding at six per cent bid, with few offerings. All classes of bonds were strong. the several liberty issues supplement- 1 ing last weeks rally. Total sales, par value. s5,325,000.
 Old United States issues were un- changed on call.

HARRY CANNING |S IN FRANCE

Harry Canning is somewhere in France" This doughty young Phoe- nician. who nearly one year ago answered the call of his country and decided that with special training he could do more good for the United States by fooling the Germans than by carrying a gun in the trenches, has safely crossed the Atlantic as member of the Fortieth United States Engineers, Camouflage Corps, and is presumably even now engaged in mak- ing the Huns believe things are what they really are not.
 In a letter received a day or two ago by Mir. and Mrs. J. w. Canning, parents of the young camouflager, it seems that he sailed from an Atlantic port about December 29. He says he lad good trip, one without particular incident. The letter and the envelope are marked Passed by the censor" so it seems that the young man knew just what he could write and what he
Arizona republican., 1918-02-19

could not The last letter received from him was postmarked December 27 and he intimated then that he ex- pected to sail soon.
 When Harry Canning enlisted in the engineers department he expressed a preference for camouflage work. Accordingly he was sent to Washing ton and there he entered the Ameri- can university and took course in camouflage. When that work was completed he was assigned to the Fortieth regiment of engineers. Just what port he sailed from or what one he landed at does not appear from any thing contained in his letter.

Federal Mediator Joseph s. Myers who was the chief factor in settling the strike, returned to Phoe- nix yesterday. MT.
