In going to the polls and voting at
the primaries should it happen that
YOU desire to write in the name of any
one for any office always be sure to
place an x also in the ballot square
in front of the name SO written In.

those they desire to vote for but Of
ten forget to place Cross in the bal
lot square in front of the name writ
ten in, so it is quite important that
voters bear this in mind.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
INSPECTOR VISITS CIRCLE

l.. G. Humphrey, sanitary inspector
of the Montana state board of health
visited Circle last Saturday, and while
here paid the Banner call.
Mr.. Humphrey reports that he
found the hotel rooming houses, but
cher shop, restaurant and soft drink
parlors in good condition, but said
there was one thing in town that abb
solutely must be attended to and that
Is the outside toilets or privy. These
he said were in deplorable condition
and asked that we publish some of
the public health laws and regula-
-tions pertaining to same in order that
the public might take the proper steps
toward keeping our little city in a
neat, clean and above all, healthy con-
ditiop.
+ It is a we'll known fact that flies are
the greatest germ carriers in exis-
tence and it is therefore of utmost
Importance that the open toilets be
properly taken care of according to
law. The law provides that they be
fly proof, and unless steps are taken
to make them SO, the parties neglec-
ting to do so will be dealt with accord
ing to law
Following are some of the regula-
tions governing open toilets:
Any outside toilet or priyy, privy
vault, cesspool or other place used for
the deposit of human excreta "a
which permits access to the contents
by animals (dogs, chickens, rodents,
etc. (2) which permits access to the
contents by flies or other insects, 80
which creates foul or Objectionable
odors, az or which is so located as to
render the pollutiSn of dpmestic wat
er supplies probable or dangerous, is
defined as a common or public nuis-
ance dangerous to public health.
The collection of refuse matter in
Or around the immediate vicinity of

Assessors Books for 1870 Show In
crease in Basis Value of 4119,e37
:. Over Last Yesr. County Gees
Into Sixth Class

John B. Harkness, the McCone
County assessor, has the past week
| completed the assessment roll for the
year 1920, and according to figures
given to the Banner, shows a nice in
crease over last year.
The total assessed valuation of Nc
Cone county for 1920 is $16,7O2,519
while the total assessed valuation for
1919 was 1926, ,47B. The basis value
last year was $4.S9z.8 .80l while this
year it is $5,016,43S, an increase of
$119,637. This advances McCoDe coun-
ty from the seventh to the sixth class,
as all counties having a basis valua-
tion ofs$5, 100000 or better are placed
in the sixth, class. The increase In
valuation is largely due to the in
crease in agricultural land, many peo-
pie having proved up their homesteads
and received patents the past year
and now assessed.
Below we give a detailed statement
of the 1920 assessment which will uD-
|doubtedly be of interest to our read

CURIOSITY IS NEW TEACHING

That women are venturesome in try ing out new educational methods has been shown by the enthusiasm with which they greeted the Montessori and natural education" systems, both in- troduced by women.
 Now the project method is pro- posed by Miss Florence F. Bamberger, associate professor of education in the
 Johns Hopkins university. It seems rather to be an adaptation of both the Montessori system and natural edu- cation"
 The project method, to which. Miss Hamburger believes. the old fashioned "enforced'' method of education will in time surrender internationally, has for it's central object the creation within the pupil desire and curiosity to learn. As an example, she cites the taking of newspapers to school by a 1 teacher who discussed them with her 1 pupils, with the result that the class is 1 now editing and publishing paper of 1 It's own.
 i Instead of being a haphazard way of l teaching, the advocate of the project method says it requires intelligent study, and before attempting it the ] teacher should take courses in sociol l ogy and psychology.-P Dis ] patch.

MeVay, Donald Dunbar and Dwight B. Heard
 At a meeting of the executive com mittee held yesterday noon, Dr. Brown field was elected president, Warren Mc- Arthur vice chairman, and J. H. O'Riel- ly secretary and treasurer. These three, with the assistance of other members of the executive committee will con stitute the acting directing heads of the organization. and all communica- tions should be addressed to and busi- ness taken up with MT. ORielly, BOP North Central avenue, it was an nounced.
 The floor committee 1t was decided, will have charge not only of the floor management, but of the music, pro- grams, refreshments and cloak room facilities. Donald Dunbar was elected chairman, with instructions to appoint as many subcommittee chairmen as he deems necessary.
 Tn order to have all parts of the state represented, it was decided to 1 name separate reception committees of 1 five or more members from each of the | fourteen counties of the state. This list 1 is now being prepared and will be an nOunced at an early date by a commit tee which was named as follows: H. D. i McVay, chairman: A. A. Betts. Harry 1 w. Asbury, Charles w Fairfield, Shr- 1 ley Christy. Harry Kay, Harry Welch and Jesse l.. Boyce.
 Committee of Welcome
 A welcoming committee made up of | representative of all of the women's organizations of Phoenix and environs will also be named, it was decided, and this list will include many prominent social leaders.
 A. T. Estgate was made chairman o1 the finance committee, Joe V. Pro- chaska of the decorations committee and Ralph Collins of the press commit tee. The latter will appoint every news paper editor in the state as a member of the committee.
 Little children will be welcome at th' inaugural ball, and for the special ac commodation of parents, a nursery vii be one of the adjuncts of the occasion arrangements to this end having beer completed yesterday with the Phoeni1 Day Nursery management for takini over this responsibility.
 The general public will be invited t attend the ball with the understandin:
Arizona republican., 1920-12-05

will be given in honor of Governor and Mrs. Thomas E. Campbell at the new Shrine auditorium sometime during the early part of January by the people of Arizona
 No pains will be spared to make the affair brilliant social success, and to that end care has been taken in the selection of the general and subordi- nate committees to see that truly rep .resentative citizens are named, regard less of partisan alliance. Nor will any one community dominate. It is espe- cially emphasized that there is no de- sire to claim all the honor for Phoe- nix, for it is realized that in an occa- sion of this kind it is more fitting that all parts of the state be represented and the naming of committees will be made with this thought in mind.
 For some weeks past there has been a general sentiment that an inaugural ball should be held with the incoming of the new state administration. This
Arizona republican., 1920-12-05

thought took definite form at a largely attended meeting of citizens held in the senate chamber Friday night In at tendance were representative citizens from all walks of life. Following the selection of Dr. F.. R. Brownfield as temporary chairman, various phases of the arrangements were discussed, espe- cially as to the place of holding the event. Though not definitely decided, it is thought that the Shrine auditorium will be completed in time for use some time during the forepart of January, and in all probability the affair will be staged sometime between the 10th and 18th of January, with the possi- bility of an earlier date if it can be arranged.
 Name Executive Committee
 The ball was set rolling. so to speak, by the appointment of an executive committed as follows: Dr. R. R. Brownfield, Dean William Scarlett Warren McArthur. J. H. OReilly, H. D.

GOV. CAM PB ELL PROTESTS TROOP
 r. MOVEMENT

Phoenix, April 17-Gov. Thomas E. Campbell today protested to the state department against extending the troops movement privilege to the Ca rranza government and the conse- quent violation of the rights of the sovereign state of Arizona, to the end that the lives and property of our own people and those friendly, to us may not be. jeopardized."
 The protest against the granting >of the request of the Carranza govern ment to move Mexican federal troops through American territory to attack Sonora revolutionary forces was made after the governor had received mes- 'sages from the chambers of commer- ceof Douglas and Nogales and from many individuals. The governor in his telegram to Secretary Colby, de clared that trade and social relations between Arizona and Sonora had been firmly established within the past year; that American interests in So- nora, running into many millions of dollars, had been afforded ample pro- tection andthat any act tending to disturb this condition would in my judgement not only result in vast ma- terial loss, but in a1I probability be at tended by other and far more serious consequences
 Permission by the United States government to move Mexican federal troops through American territory would doubtless. result in a pitched battleon Agua Prieta. Douglas and Nogales boundaries" the protest add ed, "as Sonora troops are now mobi- lizing to offer armed resistance. Great CT danger now to be apprehended is a repition of border raids such as oc- cured at Columbus, which outrage was sequence to a similar passage of Mexican troops through United States territory"

 tions in the West

Washington, D. G., April 21.-A, Sub Committee of the Committee on h. dian Affairs of the House of Represen- tatives, consisting of ten Members of Congress, will leave Washington next month for a tour of investigation which will include the principal Indian res- ervations and schools in the South west The committee will consist of Hon. Homer P. Snyder, of New York, Chairman; Hon. Charles D. Carter, of Oklahoma; Hon. John A. ElstOn, of California; Hon. Carl Hayden, of Ari- zona; Hon. B. c. Hernandez, of New Mexico; Hon. William w. Hastings, of Oklahoma; Hon. Marion E. Rhodes, of Missouri; Hon. Harry l.. Candy, of South Dakota; Hon. R. c. Cole, of Ohio and Hon. M. Clyde Kelly, of Pennsyl- vania.
 Owing to the fact that there are more full blooded Indians in Arizona than in any other state, Congressman Carl Hayden has succeeded in secur- ing an agreement that the committee will spend more time in his State than in any other. The Congressional party will leave the train at Gallup, New Mexico, on Tuesday morning May IS, for a two days inspection of the Ne- vajo and Hopi Reservations, return. ing to the railroad at Holbrook. Four days, beginning Friday, May 21st, will be spent in the vicinity of Phoenix, during which time it is hoped that the Committee will have an opportunity to see the Roosevelt Reservoir, to ex anime the San Carlos dam site and the lands near Florence. Casa Grande and Sacaton, which will be included in the San Carlos Irrigation Project Swhen constructed. MT. Hayden has also insisted that the proposed recla nation project on the Colorado River Indian Reservation near Parker be brought to the attention of the Com mittee, and this will be done on May 25th 74---
 This is the first time that so large Congressional delegation has visit ed Arizona for the purpose of becom ing more intimately, acquainted witf it's Indian problems The result o their tour of inspection is certain tt have beneficial results, because the Congressmen will acquire a fund O first hand information which will be useful when legislation is proposed for the development of the resource! of the Indian reservations.
