WHICH WAS all we had.
But IN the morning.
A NEIGHBOURS man
CANE IxTO our hous'.
WITH TWO of the blades
THAT HE said he'd found
IN A bunch OF weeds.
Avn HE wOuldn't leave.
TILL I'd paid him a dime
FoR EACH Of the blades
AND ALONG about noon
he FOUND three more
AND As fast as he'd find them.
FOR A dime apiece.
THEY'D BE lost again
But THIS neighbor guy.
JUST KEPT trailing around
down IN the bushes
AND IN the Ions grass
JUST LOOKING for blades
AND FINDING them
UNTIL HE'D found forty.
WITHIN THREE days
AND I'D paid him 81
AND WENT out Of the business
AND VOW I find out
THAT HE bought the things
AT TWO for a nickel
AND PRETENDED to find them
AND SOLD them to ne
FOR a dime apiece.
AND WITH the 81.
HE BOUGHT a toy airpIane.
AND I'VE stolen the spring
AND HE can't make It work
I THANK you.

LAUNDERING BILLY

The Junior class of the Aca- demy will present that side-split- ting farce-comedy. "Blundering Billy" tomorrow night, March 28, at the Overson Hall. Billy is engaged as a secretary by MT. Futile, the father of Dorothy, whom Billy loves. MT. Futile, however intends that Dorothy shall marry Lieut.. Griswold be- cause of his social standing. Billy tries to win the graces of MT. Futile, but his mary blund- CTS almost cause him to give up hopes. Billy finally blunders to success.

RAILROAD RATES
 WILL BE REDUCED

The reduction in passenger rates reported as having been ordered by the United States railroad ad- ministration is good news for Arizona, said state Corporation Commissioner F. A. Jones, when shown the dispatch from San Francisco.
 ''It cuts to three cents per mile rates in this state which run from four to six cents," said Jones. We have been making a fight against the rates discriminatory to Arizona for many months and a memorial prepared by the com mission on this subject and pass ed by the legislature arrived in Washington before the order was put into effect. It will material ly reduce travelling expenses to Los Angeles, Denver, El Paso and probably to Kansas City,"
 Commissioner Jones enumerated the different passenger fares which prevailin the state, against which the commission has been waging a steady battle.
 Out of Globe the rate now is five cents a mile," he said. On the Grand Canyon line it is six cents. East of Tucson the gen. eral rate is four cents a mile and west of that point Az cents. An idea of the saving which this will effect for Arizonans who travel may be judged by the fact that the present fare to Los Angeles is $17.8O and under the new scheme this will be reduced to $13.50.
 "This certainly is the best news Arizona has had for a long time"

ARIZONA'S OWN
 15Sth INFANTRY
 HOME APRIL 10

The 158th infantry, Arizona's own regiment, will be demobiliz- ed and on it's way home by April 10. This is the word contained in dispatches from San Diego, quot ing Major A. J. Dooley, intelli- gence officer of the 40th (Sun- shine) division, who has arrived in Camp Kearney, Cal, in advance of Major General F. s. Strong, to establish an office at the camp and prepare for the demobiliza- tion.
 According to Major Dooley. 16.- 900 officers and men of the famed Sunshine division will arrive at the camp in time for demobiliza- ton by April 10. The division, composed almost entirely of men from the west and southwest, re- ceived it's training at Camp Rear ney and will return there to be out of the service.
 The units of the 40th listed for demobilization at Camp Kearney, Major Dooley said, include the 157th, 158th, 159th, and 160th in fantry regiments; the 143d, Hath and 145th machine gun battalions; the horse section of the 115th supply train, division headquar- tefs and military police.
 The 18th, whose boys will soon be on the way to their Arizona homes, was originally an Arizona while the 157th was a Colorado regiment. The artillery units of the division have already been demobilized. About 19,OOO officers and men of the 10th were used as replacements in other di- visions in France.

State Takes OverLyman Dam

The state loan board has taken over the Lyman dam project and will push it to completion under their own engineers. Francis J. Sellew of Yuma has been engaged as supervising engineer to com plete the dam and main canals for a fiat fee of $5,000. L. c, Levac has been engaged as superinteno- ent of construct tion.

SUDDEN DEATHS

The people of ConchO was very much shocked over the deaths of Mrs. Lucy Ella and Mrs. Nasif Tamar.
 Last Friday both of the above named parties were apparently enjoy ing good health. During the day they partook of some ice cream and about 12 o'clock mid night, they became very i'll. Dr. Mayer was called and did all he could to relieve their sufferings. They seemed to be paralyzed, could not speak to tell you any thing. Saturday evening Mrs. Ella was relieved from her sui fering by death. Her mother, Mrs. Tamar fingered until Sun day evening, when she also died.
 The suddenness of these deaths has cast shadow of gloom over the town of Concho where Mrs. Tamar and her daughter. Lucy, have lived for so many years. MT. Tamar was killed in an auto mobile accident year or so ago.

ST. JOHNS VICTORIOUS
 IN MEET

703 to 633 was the final score of the athletic tussle, St. Johns vs. Snowflake. The two schools tied in the intellectual events. The big meet opened Friday evening with a grand concert and two volley ball contests. The concert itself was worth more than the price of admission. The St. Johns faculty had an easy time defeating the Snowflake faculty in volley ball, and the academy students literally swamped Snow flake. The scores of the first con- test were 21-16 and 21-9. The points of the latter contest count ed up 21-13 and 21-6 in our favor.
 The intellectual events were presented Saturday morning. MT. ................., of Snowflake won the oratorical contest over James Dewitt by a 2 to 1 decis- lon of the judges. Miss Hazel Nicoll of our academy won over Miss Rogers of Snowflake by 2 to 1 vote, in the original story contest.
 Every one says that the track meet was the best ever staged. But it seemed as though Snow flake was destined to nose out 633-623 win. The summary of track meet is as follows: 100 yds. Wilkins CD, Udall CD,
