NOW FOR GOOD ROADS

The road bond election was
carried by a vote of more than
three to one, and wilk go on rec
ord as proof that the people of
Graham county are progressive.
The amount of bonds voted
for, $250,000, will undoubtedly
be wisely spent on the different
road projects planned by the
highway commission and it will
not be long before Graham county
will be at the top of the list of
good road counties.
The completion of the high
way between Greenlee and Gila
counties will bring the valley
into greater prominence and will
be'a good advertisement to the
travelling public.
Good roads are absolutely nee
essary these days and the people
of Graham county are to be con-
graduated for the splendid ma
jority vote they gave the bonds.

GlLA ACADEMY

The first big game of the bas-
ket ball season was played Friday
night, at the Thatcher Amuse-
ment Hall, between the Wilcox
High School and the Gila Acade-
my.
At 700 o'clock sharp. the G.. A.
boys came on the floor in a group.
But instead of practicing any,
they ran around the hall several
times to quiet their nerves, and
as they ran around the G. A. stu
dent body sang their school song,
Purple and Gold. "
The big colleges and universi-
ties who have tried this say it is
very good, instead of letting the
boys come out and begin to throw
baskets, because this settles their
nerves and they are not near so
nervous.
At 7:15 the referee blew the
whistle and the game started.
For about five minutes neither
side made goal, but one of the
boys, branded G. A. across the
front of his shirt, got reckless
and threw a basket. This caused
a long loud cheer to come forth
from the throat of every Acade-
my student in the house.
At this, the Wilcox boys be-
came vicious and began to work
harder. After a few minutes of
hard fighting, one of them made
a basket, which made them feel
better.
AS the game wore on, the G.
A. boys kept adding to their
score until, at the end of the first
half, the score was twelve to four
in favor of Gila.
Let me tell you one thing that
during this time the q. A. stu
dents that were there were not
quiet; they were exploding and
giving off some of their famous
yells.
After ten minutes rest the
game started again. The Wilcox
boys knew by this time what they
had run up against and put in
their best men and efforts, but it
was of no use, because every time
they would make a basket, one
of the Academy boys would fol-
low their example and add one
more to their score.
By the time each side had add
ed twelve points to their score,
the time keeper gave the signal
to stop, and it stopped immediate
ly, because both sides were fati-
gued. The score now stood twen-
ty-four to sixteen in favor of
Gila. Immediately after the
game the Wilcox boys gathered
in one end of the hall and gave
yell for Gila, whom turn gathered

Instead of the regular military
drill last Thursday, the boys met
in the assembly, where they
listened to a very interesting lee
ture given by Captain Wicker
sham, of Stafford, about the rules
and regulations of the army. He
also explained and showed by ex-
amples, the need of obeying or

Military Training

The last period of the day, from

The boys are learning very
rapidly the different commands
and how to execute them.
All of the boys who have not
secured military suits and who do
not wear them on military days,
are put in a squad by themselves,
called the Awkward SQUAD. "

FRESH AIR AND SUNSHINE

When you buy Red Cross
Christmas Seals you endorse
fresh air and sunshine" " a story
by Rex Beach:
Are you in favor of sunlight,
fresh air, good food and plenty
of it? Of course you are.
Then you are also in favor of
buying as many Red Cross Christ
mas Seals as you can afford. with
possibly a little bit more for good
measure. Because Red Cross
Christmas Seals are sold to raise
money for auti-tuberculosis work.
AS understand it, when the ex-
PLANTATION is stripped to its bare,
clean core, anti-tuberculosis work
means the distribution of Gods
sunlight and fresh air to all the
people-not excluding the little
children of the tenements whose
world ism shamefully lacking in
these glorious necessities of life.
And if the people have the sun
light and fresh air which they
deserve they will be able to pro-
vide themselves with the nourish-
ing food which they need,
After all is said, the prevention
of tuberculosis and the treatment
of those already unfortunate
enough to have contracted the
disease, consists in general eff
fort to make sane living popular
and within the reach of all. That
is why | am a strong supporter
of the present campaign of the
National tuberculosis Associa-
ton. The campaign will culmi-
nate in the Red Cross Christmas
Seal Sale when more than Sc, 5OO,-
900 must be raised to carry out
the plans to fight the White
Plague during the coming year.
The size of the sum is based on
a carefully considered budget,
but the big outstanding fact as
seen by a layman is that $50, 600
persons died from tuberculosis in
the United States during the past
twelve months. Anybody who
buys Red Cross Christmas Seals
is helping to cut down the death
rate and | venture to predict that
every man, woman and child who
understands the situation will
wish to be among the buyers and
users of the seals.
In my travels in Alaska, | have
seen whole villages of tubercu.
lous Alaskans because of their
living conditions. The Indians
of the Caribbean Sea section are
far from tuberculosis because
they live outdoors.
In every great city in America
we have people who live at vari-
Gus stages between the stand
ards of the Eskimos and the
standards of the San Bias Indians
In matters of hygiene. Those
who keep hidden from the fresh
air and away from the sunlight
need to be shown how to win
back their heritages of mankind
for their own sake and for the
sake of all the rest of us.
The most direct way for the
average citizen to help bring this
about is to buy Red Cross Christ
mas Seals to the utmost. If this
