HIGH SCHOOL u NOTES
hurraxl Gold Footballs

At rousing assembly. c. A. Stauf- fer of the Arizona Republican handed out to the members of the 1919 football squad the little gold footballs which are annually presented to the team by The Republican. Although the fellows knew that the little presents were com ing some time, not one of them knew that they were going to be given out that morning. Everyone thought that the assembly was to boost the bond election or the Fire Prince but when the curtain went up, and the clan be- held Mir. Stauffer and MT. Myers, both of them of The Republican, and also noticed d pile of little boxes on the table, a prolonged howl was sent up and was not quieted until the foot balls were given out. There were yells for each one of the fellows receiving a football. as Manager Eisele called the names, and after this several good ones were given for The Republican. Mr. Stauffer presented the presents as the boys came on the stage. They showed their appreciation by all punching up in the center of the stage and giving nine rahs for The Arizona Republican. The footballs are much larger this year than they have been in previous years, and are full sized instead of half like the others. These can be used only for watch fobs.
 "The Fire Prince"
 StuDendous marvellous, magnifoliOS. These familiar circus words will not begin to describe the big giee club play which everyone is talking about, and which is going to take place next Friday night. The seat sale starts this morning at S:30 o'clock at Vic Hannys, and at the high school. and it is the belief of the management that there will not be a good seat left by noon. That sounds good and it means that this play is being looked forward club play ever staged at r. H. $. No wonder, with such characters as Les Barramore and Viola Hartman in the cast. Two more popular students could not have been chosen. This was prov on in the assembly yesterday when they were repeatedly encored by the students. Then think of the size of the cast-70-some cast for a high school. Once more. get your seats early, or you may be out of luck.
 One of the very first things asked by those who contemplate moving to a new place is What kind of schools do they have2. If the bonds asked for for the high school are voted down, the answer to that question in the fu- ture will have to be unfavorable. Peo- pie with children of high school age will avoid Phoenix The success of any school depends mainly upon two teachers and adequate room and equipment.
 Right now the Phoenix Union high school is low on equipment and room. Next year the reports will go out avoid Phoenix as there is no room in the high school for your children.

The Federal Reserve System, q
Bulvark to Prosperity

U there is one thing above all else which
we have to thank for Americas safe
passage through the financial dangers
of the war period and for the security that
she now enjoys in the midst of worldwide
stress it is the existence the Federal Re-
serve Banking system. Particularly is this
true of the South, of which the Albany (Ga.,)
Herald we'll observes: 1T is enough to give
one the shudders to think what would have
happened had it not been for that steadying
system"
The new banking and currency law,
which the Wilson Administration pressed to
enactment despite all manner of selfish and
sand-blind opposition, became operative just
in time to save the country from what might
have been the worst Of panics. Who can for
get the anxiety Of the summer and autumn
of 1914, when all business was trembling
from the shock of Europe's upheaval? Try
ing as they were upon the entire country
those times we're especially so upon the
South, where the largest Of cotton crops lay
heavy in fields and warehouses, with lit

confronted this region since the darkest days
of Reconstruction Yet the crisis came and

and agricultural alike, sangune and strong

not in the entire country single national

commerce and finance realize the danger OF
times which are marked by under-produc-

the increased cost of living, that we nave
