Editors of ColOrado
Gentlemen:

Editors of Colorado, =
Gentlemen:
Now that the Victory Loan drive is
over, want to take this occasion to
thank you, one and all, for the way
you handled the publicity during the
campaign. .-.
Colorado led the rest of the states
of the Union in the amount of pub
licity per capita in all the other
Treasury Department drives and l
am inclined to think that we led in
this drive, although l do not know
at this time.
At any rate, the campaign was SO
conducted that we were the fourth
state to go over the top by selling
the bonds direct to the people. Iowa
and Michigan reached their quotas
first but their banks underworld the
Loan. Oregon reached its quota first
through sales to the people and Col
orado was second. The direct sales
to the people secured a wider
distribution of the Loan and was
really what the Government wanted
Again thanking you, I am,
Yours very truly,
ALVA A. SWAIN,
Director of Publicity Liberty Loar
Committee, Denver, Colorado.

Art Work for the Annual


A much-desired innovation is being
tried for this years Annual. 1t is a
rare occasion when one finds this in
terestng book decorated in suitable
manner; as a rule, anything goes, both
as to the kind of work and the ideas
presented. There is no reason at all
why the drawings should not be made
fitting not only in execution but also
in ideas. Everything going into the
Annual this year is planned so as to
be related in some way; some draw
ings refer to the locality in which
the Normal is located, portraying
things with which our students are
familiar; others are connected with
school life-and yet all are bound in
one complete harmony by pleasing
geometric design and by masterful
execution, planned especially for pur-
poses of reproduction. If every
thing works out as well as planned,
and the results are as good as the be-
ginning, we feel certain we have an
Annual which is among the best.

that various of the blues" the moans of which have echoed for several years in every American home, cabaret ana dance hall, presently will be heard for the first time i'll England.
 The blues are thus described in the Evening Standard;
 The blues represents very dis tinctive kind of music that has been developed by southern negroes. As it's name implies, it strikes sad note for it expresses the somber feeling of it's makers-negroes, who without knowing anything at all about music. have given expression to their long ings.
 "A striking characteristic of the music is that the pronounced sadness of it all is suddenly relieved, and the whole feeling changed to one of joy, This is quite in keeping with the spirit of the negro, whose feelings change so quickly"
 The orchestra will now render The Westminster Blues" with "The Dub line Blues" and 'The Whitechape! Blues as encores.

Football will come into it's own in the Salt River valley Saturday after noon when the Indians and Coyotes clash in the first Of a two-game series at the Indian school field. The game will be called at o'clock sharp.
 This is one of the big games Of the season. surpassed in importance only by the Indian Coyote clash Thanks giving day The annual Turkey Day gridiron struggle is recognized as the feature football struggle of the entire season and attracts fans from all sec tions Of the valley.
 High class football is sure to prevail when these ancient rivals meet Sat urday afternoon. Both teams. it seems, play far above their ordinary form when pitted against each other and there is no reason 10 believe that Sat urday's game will be an exception to this rule.
 Both Coaches Geary and Duran have been working their proteges hard in preparation for this game Reports from the respective training camps are to the effect that both elevens are in tiptop shape and ready for a hard battle.
 The Coyotes will probably resort to the old army game, using line plunges and shoots off tackle the greater part of the game But Quarterback Norton will be supplied with a wealth of trick plays that can he brought into play should the Indian line prove stone wall

A Rainy Sunday Afternoon


 If it wasn't for the rain, Sunday afternoon, a friend of Dads was com- ing around to take him out auto rid ing, but, on account of the downpour, the ride is declared off and Dad de- cides to spend the afternoon sleeping.
 Dad first tries the lounge in the hall. but because he hasn't been accustomed lately, to attempting any day time snoozes, he finds the light there is too strong for him. After tossing around restlessly on the lounge for a half hour or so, he goes to his room and tries for forty winks on his bed. In about IS or 20 minutes he drifts off into disturbed slumber in which he dreams that the family cat has spilled the family milk in the baby's crib and the infant is nearly drowning in the fluid Dad awakes with a start and catch in his breath to hear the baby yelling for food and to find the cat purring peacefully where it has inserted itself against his knee!
 The third time Dad tries to slip into Sunderland he is much more success ful. He is so very successful, in fact that he doesn't awaken until o'clock in the evening, mother having decided it is better to let him sleep instead of arousing him in time for the evening meal. When he does awake he is cross and miserable. He has lost out on the regular meal and has to eat remnants. He feels like the wreck of the Hes- perus, and feeling so rotten, he goes to bed early that evening. Monday morning finds him as happy and full of pep as man who's lost all his fam fly and relatives. been ostracised by all his friends and seen his fortune 1 slip away from him over night. It | takes Dad a full week to recover from | his Sunday afternoons sleep orgy.
 In the face of all this, is it at all surprising that Dad has become such firm advocate of Sunday moviesa

in the highway commission from that state in the party to come here.
 In charge of the visiting party will be Colonel Ed Fletcher of San Diego, president of the Dixie Highway as sociation and one of the most prom inent men on the Pacific coast. Col. Ed Fletcher is credited with being the person who put over" the San Diego Yuma highway.
 He started the movement in 1914 at San Diego, getting up party con sisting of prominent citizens of San Diego and Secretary of Agriculture Houston and made the trip from San Diego to Yuma. Development of na tional highways was then just start ing and the secretary of agriculture had it exclusively in his Jurisdiction.
 Colonel Fletcher was very insistent that they should know the true value of a good highway from Arizona to a Pacific coast port. He financed the whole proposition and spent much of his own time and money so that the bonds would carry. Because of this activity and of his interest and his ability to handle matters of that char acter they got him into the Dixie Highway association. Since then he has been devoting considerable time in disseminating knowledge to the peo- pie in regard to the necessity for this highway.
 Yuma is going to entertain the Cali fornia visitors royalty. it is learned, and Tucson expects to do the same. It Is possible that the committee on ar- judgements in Phoenix will plan a banquet for the visitors.
 They also may invite the presidents of all the county highway commissions in the state and others interested in good roads to join in the conference in this city. The visitors will enlighten the Arizona people as to the plans of California in regard to the building of their part of the Dixie highway. Colonel Fletcher is big man in the southwest. He is interested in rail- roads, in water works and other large public service undertakings.

YOUNG BROWN
 ID MEET STALL
 HERE OCT. 3 1

Young Brown, one of the most popu lar ring opponents who has ever ap- peared in Phoenix, is coming back for an early engagement.
 Arrangements were completed yes terday afternoon by the. Phoenix Ath- letic club for a 1G-round bout between Young Brown and Jake Stahl, to be held in Arcadia hall Friday evening. Oct 31. This is to be the main event of a four-car program.
 i While Stahl has never appeared in a ring engagement in this city, many local fans are acquainted with his work. Others watched him in train ing at F. A. C. training quarters couple of weeks ago on his only visit to this city.
 In training, Stahl has the form of a high class performer and his ring work against some of the best men of his weight on the coast stamps him as one of the best lightweights in the far west
 His only appearance in Arizona was against Chet Neff at Tucson, a few weeks ago. the referee giving Neff the decision after ten terrific rounds, al- though it was the unanimous opinion of sport writers present that Stahl was entitled to a draw. Jake has agreed to make 130 pounds at o'clock on the day of the bout for Brown.
 As to Brown, his past work here stands for itself. He is probably the most aggressive boxer in this section of the country and is always mixing it. His sensational tenth round finish against Neff here a few weeks ago is still topic of discussion among box ing fans.
 A semi i-final event of unusual merit has also been arranged with Young Leyman and Frankie Monroe furnish ing the opposition in a six round setto. Leyman's ring work is attracting the attention of promoters in all sections of the state and his services are in big demand. As to Monroe, his coast record is one of which any boy might well be proud Although he has par ticipated in more than 100 ring bat ties. he has yet to take the count Two other bouts four round opener l and four round second event, will also be included on the program.

When You Tackle A Man Drop Him Hard
 Enough That He Will Stay Down

and whenever a man has the time to do it, it is the only sure way. Men in the middle of the line are the only ones who can be excused for high tackling and then not too frequently.
 Do not wait for the man to run into your arms, but go after and meet him. When you are still and waiting for him. his momentum may be sufficient to knock you off your balance and make you lose your grip. Secondly, he will better be able to dodge you if he can calculate the distance that you are liable to make your tackle from, than if you are coming at him and shifting the distance.
 Never tackle head on, as it may re- suit in broken neck. Always have the head to one side and one shoulder well into the mans body.
 In stern chase, it is well to have two hands on the man before leaving your feet and putting your weight to his body. Otherwise his momentum may carry him away from you and per- init him to regain his feet again.
 Don't go at your man blindly. Run low but know what he is doing, and try to fathom what he is liable to do. The flying tackle is spectacular. but the tackle with your feet on the ground is sure.
