INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL A. DISGRACE ID
 STATE

PHOENIX, Feb. 13.-That the in- dustrial school at Fort Grant is mis- named and is not an industrial school at all is the opinion of Andrew Bau- inert, Jr. chairman of the commits sion of state institutions, who with Lloyd B. Christy and John Rock, members of the commission, reached Tucson Friday night to inspect the new dormitory at the university, af- ter their first visit to the Fort Grant school ...-f,,sf'
 The Fort Grant school is a work house. rather than an industrial schcol,'' said MT. Baumert There is nothing there which gives any evi- dence of being a school. It is a de- plorable situation and one that should be remedied by the legislature immediately.
 There are eighty boys and about sixteen girls at the school. They are housed in two old tumble-down build ings. There are a number of win dow lights out. There are no facili- ties whatever for vocational educa- tion. There is a shoe shop and a tailor shop, the latter not now in use. About all the boys do is their own work arH'
 No Amusements.
 "At six o'clock at night after din- .ner is over, the boys are marched to big room used as a dormitory and locked up for the night. They are kept there until in the morning There is no library at the school and no amusement is provided. The room is not heated and there are no tables It is simply punishment of the worst kind and of the sort that breeds mis chief i-
 ''The only way for the state to dc at the Fort Grant school is to start over and make it a real industrial school. The present buildings inner ited from the government are not suited to the purpose. Modern build ings with facilities for vocational ed ucation should be provided either here or at some other site.
 Any parent visiting the schoo would certainly be shocked at the sit uation there. It is true that light plant has been installed, but the bat teries for storage have not been pro vided, the current is fed direct and every now and then the whole sys tenn is blown out. There are two old pianos, but they have not been turn ed for ages and cannot be used. Should Provide Employment. F '9The salvation of the school is tc provide employment for the boys and girls along vocational lines. teacf them a trade and provide wholesome amusement for their leisure hours It will be big job to put the schoo on it's feet and will cost considerable money but it will be worthwhile an6 the state owes it to the boys and girls confined there. They never will be made good citizens unless this is done"

provided for in bill now before the legislature, for which an appropria- tion of $65,000 is suggested. This is house bill carrying an emergency clause to give it immediate effect, and already has been recommended for passage.
 With regard to the Tombstone and the Clifton and Solomonville roads, Delbridge said Holmquist had told him part of the work was being done by prisoners, but that these were to be taken off the jobs and employment given to citizens who were out of work.
 No person can deny that there is certain amount of unemployment in the state'' he said, but believe that the surface indications make the problem appear worse than it really | is. It is my opinion that if we can put 600 men to work on our roads within the next 60 days we will be taking up a great deal of the slack. Many miners have been discharged from plants at different points in the state, but I am given to under stand that the majority of these have gone to the coast. They will not be back for two or three months and by that time conditions should be beginning to readiust themselves. do not wish to minimize our unem- ployment problem, but at the same time I believe that it has been paint ed worse than it really is.

Better Babies. or ereenIee-

A very important meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Edgar Mitchell on last Tuesday afternoon by the Civic Section of the local Womer's Club Mrs. Mary P. Lockwood, state teacher of all home demonstration agents in Arizona was present and gave a very interesting history of the development and work of such agents not only in the United States, but es- pecially in our own state of Arizona. The work of properly feeding, cloth ing and housing a family is of first importance in any scheme of exist ence and the Federal government realized this when it encouraged the placing of Home Agents and partly financed the proposition. Mrs. Lock- wood after stating what they were prepared to do asked the ladies pre- sent what they considered of most vital importance in Clifton, or Green lee county At first the suggestion was made that our own agent. Miss Wills, start a Clothes Saving Shop and have regular classes teaching the Mexican women how to patch, darn sew on buttons and save clothes that would otherwise be thrown away. In. cidentally she would teach them how to clothe the children and avoid put ting on three pairs of overalls on one boy and emitting the underwear and shoes. Other ladies present seemed to think that at this time of the year a move of some kind should be made to better the health conditions anc save the babies during the summer It was recalled that last summer seventy-seven babies died during the months of June and July. Plans were then made for securing the co operation of all organized clubs, fra ternal orders and churches. Mrs. A L. Terry was appointed committee of one on publicity. A time will bt set for the baby clinic when mothers will be asked to have their babie: weighed, measured and examined b, a doctor and records made. If thu baby fails to measure up to standard advice will be given on the prope
 care of the child and it's progress
 watched for several months. Thi will not be a Baby Fair" and blu ribbons will not be given for tn
 prettiest baby, it will be strictly health crusade. Mrs. Mitchell is tn
 county chairman on Child Welfar
 and with the help of these ladies am
 all others interested in preventin
 the useless waste of life in Greenle
 county the movement ought to b
 popular and successful

H0LbR00K 0|L FIELD MAY BE LARGEST
 IN J. $. A.

Holbrook, Arizona, Feb. 15.-Addi- tional proof that the possibilities of the Holbrook oil field make a special appeal to the men who know most about petroleum and it's development was furnished during the past week when Ezra B. Loper came here for the purpose of secul ing a site for an oil refinery. MT. Loper is a native of Holland and represents syndi- cate of his countrymen who have been engaged in the business of re- lining oil in this country for some time. .r
 These shrewd Dutchmen have been watching developments in the ,Hol- brook field and are convinced that government and other prominent ge- ologists must be right when SO many Of them believe that oil in commer- clal quantities will be found in the Holbrook section-and the enter prising spirit which they absorbed during their residence in America leads to the conviction that the time to get the most desirable site for a. refinery at low price is before oil is actually struck and the wild boom is on
 Extensive Oil Area.
 From information which has come to F. s. Graham, one of the drillers for the Hopi Oil Co.,, the prospective oil area of the Holbrook field may be even more extensive than has been thought. In professional pa- per No. 93 of the U. S. geological survey, by Herbert E. Gregory, a. map of the section from the San Juan river in Utah-where oil was found in twenty out of twenty-five wells drilled-to Holbrook shows that the Goodridge formation of the~ Pennsylvanian series of the carbon iferous age underlies the whole sec tion. though it crops to the surface only in the San Juan country and in the vicinity of Holbrook. Some of the most prolific fields in the coun- try are found in the above-mentioned formation. .r4.t
 gu.g Seepages. r
 Graham's information is that oil and gas seepages have been found in. tributaries of the main Colorado river, about 65 miles northwest of Flagstaff, and that the Indians for years have. caught up the oil from the surface of the water and used it for medicine. In the same vicinity one can dig into the surface, and iiOni Ihe opeHlhS gas VIII come Wnlcn will burn until the sand caves in. This section is inaccessible at this time, but Graham has made arrange ments to go there in the spring and make thorough investigation. Near his old home in Texas oil was found on the surface of a small lake for years and no attention was paid to it. It is now the center of a great oil producing section and has made people Ike knew immensely wealthy.

KELSEY SENTENCED TO
DEATH IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
fCont;nned from naoe one)

CONTINUED from page one)
Kelsey was held at Waterbury for
nearly two months last summer for
observation. He was gwen the
Binet scientific test. Taking 100 per
cent as a basis for normal mind, the
experts found that Kelsey possessed
the mentality of an Swear old child
or that he was 40 per cent normal.
This was an educational test, how
ever, and really did not determine his
sanity.
Kelsey had been married twice. His
first wife and child were drowned
several years ago. His second wife
is living but has not been to the Jail
to see her husband for several months
The mother has called at the jail
quite regularly to see her son and has
brought him many fancy foods.
Kelsey, who suffered a paralytic
stroke a few years back, has a
long criminal record. He has served
at least one term in prison and two
terms in the workhouse. He has al
ways been an irresponsible sort of p
character.

to pay taxes in Bennington and many
other Vermont towns. Our tax rate is
high. and most of US have a feeling
of resentment when obliged to pay
so much apparently for so little at
any one time. After all though we
Americans do get more for our tax
money than any other people on
earth. The tax money pays for QUE
schools, lights, highways, sidewalks,
sewers, supports the hospital, state
institutions, police and health depart
ments and all other public utilities.
In Vermont at least practically none
of it is stolen and the amount fritz
tered away in extravaganza and in
competence is not as large as in most
states. 1t is hard to pay heavy tax IS
but tax money, properly expended IS
an essential part of civilization. Don't
grumble, it might be lot worse.
