THE WRONG NUMBER, BUT

It was the same old story. He had got the wrong number on the tele- phone.
 Only this time he received shock.
 "I'm sorry I gave you the wrong line," said a sweet voice over the wire.
 "It doesn't matter a bit," he re- piled, not to be outdone in courtesy. "I'm sure the number you gave me was much better than the one l asked for; but it just happened that l wasn't able to use it."

STATE TREASURER AFTER
 JOB ON NORMAL BOARDS

State Treasurer Ross is preparing to take steps to make himself an ac- tive member of the Tempe Normal School board and the Northern Ari- zona Normal School board. As far as known the state treasurer has never been considered member of such boards, though Ross calls attention to the fact that the law is very clear on this point. It reads, "The state treas- urer shall be, by virtue of his office, the treasurer of each of the said (normaI boards"
 It is probable that Ross will file formal notice with each of the boards that he intends to assume jurisdiction of the funds of these institutions.

out of the mist, their crews standing
on deck like black fence, no colors
