Now Believe
 World About to End.

If the world passes the period between December IT and 20 without coming to an end, the Mexican people and not a few of the more superstitious Americans will breathe a sigh of relief, for the belief has been growing among a large class that the predictions made by Porta, a French astrono- mer, that the juxtaposition of of five planetary bodies on one side of the earth, with the sun on the other, during period would cause a cataclysm.
 Many of these people who be- lieve in this prophecy are prepar- ing themselves for the end, ac- eording to Mexican newspapers.
 In connection with a severe earthquake felt at Mexico City on November 13. one paper makes the following comment:
 Many persons were led to the belief that this was the fore-run- ner of the end of the world that has been predicted by the French astronomer, Porta, which an- nouncement has caused alarm and consternation, particularly in the United States. The character of the end of the world as predicted by Porta differs from this, how ever, the end of the human race will be caused by asphyxiation by gases and not by earthquakes. !" Snowflake Herald.

Grazing Homestead
 Passed by Congress.

It will be of interest to people who have made homestead entry and are desirous of taking up a grazing homestead to learn that congress has just passed a bill modifying the law relating to non-continguous grazing home stead, which allows the entryman to take up non contiguous sec tions and reside either upon the old homestead entry or the new.
 The old law required or implied residence on the lands entered, which would make it hardship on the entryman. Lands under zona may now be enteredin Ari- the law, subject to designation by the geological survey. This designation may not be made for many months, but eventually all classes of lands suitable only for grazing purposes will come under the purview of the act.-Hol- brook Tribune,

FRESHMEN.

We are getting worried about our vice-president. It is getting rather serious when a Freshie, and vice. president too, should be thinking so seriously about join ing the Sopbies, (or a Sophie). She says there is certainly a classy boy in that class. At least Dora feels sure of getting one Valentine. That will satisfy her. We may have a Soph join our class. if in some way we can per suade Dora to stay with US.
 Pratt says he thinks he had better think more about Verma than Louise. He wants someone that he will dare to run from at least. He doesn't think it would even be safe to run from her for fear she might stump her toe" and fall on him. What would be left of Pratt? Louise has got better sense than to care what they say, especially such little things as Pratt.
 Carl Beck says it takes a Freshie to get the best of Sen for. It's too bad Della ditched him. but perhaps he needed his eyes opened. doubt very much if he got it that time.
 Owe didn't quite know what to do for while. Whether to play hard and beat Snowflake, or to remember that sweet little thing he met while in Snowflake. He has decided that he will do some high class playing that will make her admire him more.
 You'll all admit we're very good class. ''None better, few as good" ,"

s. J. A. NOTES

We regret very much that we were unable to have the athletic contest that was scheduled for last Friday and Sat urday. The weather, however, made it impossible for Snowflake to get here. We think that the weather will permit of the contest being played here the last of this week. Snowflake is expected over Friday, and the following games will be played:
 Friday evening at 7:3O, volley ball; there will be both a boys and girls game. Saturday morning at10:00, ten his games; both singles and doubles will be played. Saturday afternoon, basket ball. There will be two games, and they promise to be very close. and therefore, very interesting. We would like to see as big crowd as possible out to these -contests. .
 REMEMBER THE DATES.
 From now on there will be fine pro gram, lecture or other form of enter tainment given every Friday morning at eleven o'clock, to which the public is cordially invited. These programs will always be worth seeing, and we would like to have more of our parents and friends come out and see what we are doing.
 Next Monday morning at Il o'clock Mrs. Hugh Duke will give musical re- cital for the students, and as many of the public as desires to come out. This will surely be treat; Come out.
 Next Wednesday evening at 7.SO, the oral expression class of the academy will give recital, to which the public is cordially invited. They have been working at this long time, and would like to have the public come out and see what they are doing.
 This School will meet the Snowflake academy in debating on the first Monday in February. The students have start ed work on their debate, and if they win in this, they will probably meet other schools of northern Arizona. We have some good talent in our school, and we think that we can get off with this very easily.
 On the same date the D. K. UdaIl oratory prize will be awarded to the stu dent who has the best oration on the subject of First Nephi, of the Book of Mormon.
 The academy has started woIk on a play to be given some time during the holidays. It is a merry College farce, entitled, "A Strenous Life". and is a scream, from start to finish. Watch for the date.
 On account of the volley ball contest that will be held in the academy hall Friday night the regular student body dance will be given Saturday night in- stead. This dance is given by the So- phomore class, and will be a dandy. Come out to the Sophomores class pro- gram Friday morning.
