repeated. "It'S just ten per cent of

"Yes. You and me. We're going into

Dave looked at Coward sharply.
Was he trifling? No. his eyes were
frank and serious.
"You mean itT"
"Of course. Now, I'll put you onto
something. and It's the biggest thing
that has been pulled off yet. There's
section of land lying right against
the city limits that is owned by a fell

who fell heir to an estate and had to
go home to spend it. i am arranging
through a London Office to offer him
ten dollars an acre, and I'll bet he
jumps at it. I've arranged for the nee

expenses for cables, ETC., and you can
put your hundred into that. If we pull

up in business as Coward & Eden

sounds better. Boy, there's a fortune

"What do you figure it's worth?"

Coward shouted. Dave, newspaper

"The city boundaries are to be ex-
tended-probably will be by the time
this deal goes through. Then 1t is city

Dave was doing rapid thinking. Sgd

CHILD FRAMING Avn HOME

CHILD TRAINING AT HOME
BY Carolyn Sherwin Bailey.
Author of Wonder Stories.
| The Primary children did not
want to paly with the boys and
girls from Mill Street. although
the Mill Street children were in
the same class. Odd LITTLE. for
eign lads and ladies they were,
wearing fur caps and scarlet
shirts. and orange colored scarfs.
But they did not seem to know
how to play; and there was
something worse than that
about them.
1.-THE Mill Street children
don't know how to live in our
town. said the others. "Only
see what they dol" ~
Maud saw enc Saturday after
noon when she took her roller
skates to the park. There, right
beside sign that read Keep
Off The Grass" sat Santa, the
little Italian girl, picking
daisies. s,s
"Oh, please don't do that San
ta," Maud said. "The sign says
not to. You come with me and
| will show you free daisy
field" v.t@..1s
Santa looked at the sign. She
touched the letters with her fin
yers and then she smiled at
Maud as she joined her on the
sidewalk and the two hurried
off. They had a beautiful after
noon and on Monday Maud gat-
hered the Primary children to-
gether and told them a secret
about the Mill Street children.
Then such nice things began to
happen.
Jane had big police puppy
that he had brought from .Havre,
France, but he would take it out
I on Mill Street, and even father,
without a muzzle. But Harold,
who sat next 10 him in school
him to the big city hall and
showed him the sign about dogs
being rnIzzled and Jeans fat
her bought him a muzzle so large
large and soft that the puppy
liked to wear it.
Barton was going to school
one day and he met Joseph go
ing the other way Joseph had
not gone to school in Russia, and
he had decided to play truant.
/ because it was such a sunny day
But Barton told Joseph that he
wanted to show him something
so together they went to school.
They entered by the great front
door and Barton showed Joseph
the notice on the wall that told
the school law. 1t read that a
boy or irl must not play truant.
So Joseph laughed with his big
brown eyes, for the sign was
a surprise to him and he was not
even late to school.
After the Mill Street children
had learned to live in the Ameri-
can town and how to play with
the American primary children,
, they found out Maud's secret
She had asked the others to help
, these foreign little ones to learn
the laws that the signs of the
town told. Mill Street knew
very little about laws and the
children, at first, could not read
the signs.
Is there Mill Street in youl
: town.

WOMEN TEACHERS PAY NOT RAISED EQUAL ID THAT IF TIE MEN

Have women teachers received the same increase in salaries during the past year as the men serving on the teaching staff of the public schools of the state2
 This is the question which Frank Dikes assistant superintendent of pub lie instruction. hopes to answer in the affirmative. Dikes is believer in equal pay for equal work, but declares that, according to the records of his office, the men have been given a higher salary than the women occupy ing the same positions.
 The superintendents of the various counties of the state have not yet filed their annual report with the state superintendent. According to that of a year ago, the male teachers of the high schools who received an average of S151.40 were advanced to an average of $16270. while the women did not average over S123.71, which was their previous salary. In the graded schools the men were increased from the aver age of $113.07 to S135,13, while the women, with an average of $96.57, were advanced to S9S.9S.

COTTON GROWERS ID MEET TONIGHT AT
 WEST END SCHOOL

"Co- operative Marketing" Contour Irrigation and other subjects of great interest to the farmer will be discussed tonight at the cotton growers meeting to be held at the West End school
 The meeting is the fourth of a series being held over the valley under the auspices of the southwestern branch of the American Cotton association, the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers association, the primary pur- pose of which is to give every cotton grower in the valley the opportunity of learning how to get the highest price for his cotton.
 Previous meetings at Peoria, Glen dale, Cartwright, Yuma, Tucson, Saf- ford and other points in the state have been uniformly interesting and sue cessful, the association at this time the beginning of the season-having three times the membership and acre age enrolled by the end of the last season.
 The next meeting after tonight will be Saturday night at the Washington school on Northern avenue, and the first meeting next week will be in the Madison district
 Most of the larger ranches and many of the smaller ones in the West end already are enrolled in the association, including such representative growers of cotton as the Holiness -Wotton Ranch company. the Babbitt- -Cowden inter ests, the Meyers Tanner company and many others.
