HIGH SCHOOL
 NOTES

MT. Venne is working hard with the second team fellows in preparation for the coming game with the Indian sec- ond squad next Friday. He says they will trim the redskins as bad as their first team was beaten last Saturday. The Coyote varsity was given a much needed layoff yesterday by Coach Geary, but he wants every man out today. There is a possible chance that the U. of A. second team may be here to take on the Coyotes next Saturday, instead of Douglas, which plays Tue son.
 Charles Gilliland, who was put un- der the lilies'' last Saturday, came to school feeling fine yesterday. He says, Wait til turkey day-revenge will be sweet"
 Lyman Gorrell crossed the goal for three touchdowns against the Indians. That is going some for a tackle, and is probably the first time that Coyote tackle ever performed this feat. Each time that Butter crossed the line there were about six Indians clinging to his legs.
 A free feed was given to the ''Y'' boys last evening at the Y. M. c. A. The object in this was to get the fel- lows together and plan on the mem bership campaign. Every fellow who is too light to play football or join in the athletics up at the high school should take advantage of the campaign and become a member. All the phys ical training one needs can be had at the big up-to-date gym or in the fine swimming pool.
 Manager Eisele says that his con- science hurts him and that he is go- | ing to own up to the fact that he is do- ing the school a great wrong in letting them retain that old coal burning stove down in the dressing room. He says that he has kept this from the school for about two seasons, just be- cause he loved to break up the kin ding and build the fires every after noon. He also admits that a gas heater can be installed for the amount of money that it takes to buy coal enough to heat water every afternoon for a week. His only regret in put ting the school wise" is that he is afraid that they will take advantage of what he has told them and put 1T little gas heater which will be easy to handle and which won't cost SC much to run.

 Expect heavy Vote
 The vote today, it is expected, will be one of the heaviest ever cast at a special election conducted by the as- sociation. Wide interest throughout the valley is being manifested in the various issues and the importance of the questions to be decided will, it is hoped, bring out close to a full vote.
 Election supplies were distributed to the different polling places Saturday and Monday and everything is in readiness for the opening of the polls at s o'clock this morning, it was stated by officers of the association last eve ming.
 Results of the election will be com piled at the Water Users building to- night, it was announced by Secretary Charles Van der Veer.

NEW GEOGRAPHY FUR
 GRAMMAR SCHOOLS SOON ID DE ADOPTED

A report on rearranging the gram mar school course on geography will be considered at a meeting of the state board of education November 8. C. O. Case, state superintendent of pub lie instruction, announced yesterday.
 A number of changes in the present course will be made. it is anticipated. and to that end the committee in charge is at work. Superintendent Philbrook of the Bisbee schools has been appointed chairman of this com mittee.
 MT. Case says the course in gram mar, which was arranged before the adoption of the new textbook, will have to be changed somewhat. The new grammar compiled by Jeschke and Gillet is considered superior to the textbook of the previous year and will be used in the future. The course as prescribed for the old grammar was good and, MT. Case says, it is hoped that only the reference pages will have to be rewritten.

REWARD |S OFFERED . FUR THE CONVICTION ORANGE THIEVES

The manager of the Arizona Orange association says that there is strange evidence that there is an organized band of orange thieves stealing fruit from the orange groves north of town and that he is determined to put stop to this stealing.
 He offers a reward of s25 for infor- nation that will lead to the arrest and conviction of orange thieves stealing fruit from any of the groves owned by any member of the Arizona Orange as- sociation.
 Last year several hundred boxes of fruit were stolen in the valley and thieves got away, excepting two who were arrested and convicted.
 Those who steal only a few will be prosecuted just as vigorously as the

Los Angeles to Camp Curry, Yosem-

Club of Southern California under
official A. A. A. supervision. Cars
of many different types, makes,
weights and prices were entered.
The distance is BIAS miles over

from sea-level up to $500 feet, ,includ
ing long, firing grades as we'll as

be selected to test car efficiency and

And no better demonstration of
the correctness of the Franklin
principles ofair cooling light weight
and hexibility could be desired than
the results recorded. Even though
rating of "ton-miles" was devised
to remove all handicaps of weight,
the Franklin took both prizes for
which all cars were eligible, in
