AMENDMENT NO. 7 VERY
NECESSARY TO COLORADO'S
EDUCATIONAL SUCCESS.

The Educational Amendment, No. z,
on the ballot, deserves the support of
every mother and father. every man
and woman, because it provides at n
very low cost to the people of Colo
RADIO future for a every boy and girl.
In comparing the per capita cost for
Higher Education in twelve represent
ative states we find Colorado at the
bottom of the list. This should not
he, and when we think that the Edu-
cational Amendment does not pass the
LEVITT simply gives authority to the
Legislature to increase the revenue of
the state educational institutions In
proportion to their needs, and not in
excess of l mill. Seeing therefore,
that the investment is sure to bring
permanent blessings to Colorado. let
each voter go to the polls on Tuesday
and mark Y for Amendment No. Z.

| Dear Madam:
The Music Commission feels that the
coiored singers of this city deserve an
Opportunity for Self-eXpression through
the medium of concerted singing under
conditions more favorable to them than
is possible under the present plan of
a mixed membership in the regular
Municipal Chorus.
Acting upon authority from the may
or, the music commission has there
fore arranged with Mr.. Wilcox, direc-
tor of the municipal chorus, to devote
one evening each week to the training
of a chorus composed exclusively or
colored singers. Any colored citizen
who can pass the simple voice test re-
uuired. and who will agree to attend
rehearsals regularly and respect the
usual rules of similar organizations,
will be eligible to membership, without
any cost whatsoever. In view of this
plan, colored singers will no longer
have membership in the white division
of the municipal chorus, nor will white
singers be admitted to the cOlored di-
vision.
Mr.. Wilcox will meet applicants for
membership in the cOlored division OF
the municipal chorus on Monday even
ing. October 25th, at 7 80 o'clock, at
the office of the music commission. %
East 18th Avenue.
AS a former member of the munich
pal chorus, you will not require voice
trial. We trust that you Will respond
cordially to this effort to bring larger
municipal opportunities to the people of
your race and that you will help us
10 reach them by inviting your friends
and acquaintances to attend this first
meeting on the 25th.

NEVADA MINING MAN
 INVESTS IN. YAVAPAI
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Closing of the option deal for the Union mines, situated ill Blue Tanks district, in the southern part of this county, was announced yesterday by Albert c. Fordman, the buyer, the sellers being Abraham Crow and John Nordling, who are now in Phoenix ,oo.
 MT. Fordman comes to Prescott to investigate title and other legal mat ters, which he has found to be as rep resented. Early operations are to begin and the company to be organ ized will be incorporated under the laws of California. The Union was originally located in the late eos by Civil war soldiers numbering II, in which each was designated to own certain foot units" aggregating about 900 feet along the Assure
 A community arastra was built and each lot of ore treated by the individ- ual owner. Remnants of this crudely built plant are still in evidence, and it ceased to be in action when drouth occurred, no water being available for milling or other purposes.
 The values are mainly gold, with a silver by-product carried in concen- trates, this output assaying $6l per ton. A small hoist and testing mill of six tons capacity is en route from Tonopah, Nevada, where the princi- pal office is located. MT. Fordman contenplatesdI making Yavapai his main base of mining operations, and is preparing to close other deals Prescott may possibly be his head quarters, as he is very favorably im- pressed with the city.

ed of this offense by your own con- fession," the court asserted, "and if you ever come back, it will not be as a defendant, with right to counsel and to plead. I will not pass sentence at this time You are to retire from the court room and try to repair your wrong. Warren Davis is appointed your probation officer for a period of five years"
 Stevens, who is a smelterman, is quite small of stature, and he made pitiable figure as he stood before the court and heard the instructions of the judge as to his future conduct. He was originally charged with assault with intent to commit murder, but on the showing that he was blind drunk, and apparently failed to recolleCt any thing of the incident, 1t was deduced that he had no malicious intent to- ward Robbins, whose injuries though painful, were not serious, Robbins received a bullet in each leg and held Stevens until Tom Rynning ran up and relieved him.

 With this reservation, the declara- ton of abstention of the young man who in a drunken fit, shot and twice wounded Night Watchman Robert Robbins, of Clarkdale, is total and complete. He made it before Judge John ]. Sweeney Ill the Superior court yesterday after having been allowed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of assault with deadly weapon.
 Consideration for the wife and two young children of Stevens led the court to delay imposition of the sent ence. Judge Sweeney had the defend ant up at the bar for serious heart to heart talk. He informed Stevens that man of his age-30 years should know enough to let liquor alone if it affected him that way, and that after he sets forth to care for his wife and children, if he relapses even to the extent of taking a drink, he will be haled back into court and given the limit You stand convict

GRANDMA REID OF
 CAMP VERDE PASSES ON
lFrom Wednesdays DaiIxl


 Mrs. Mary E. Reid, better known as Grandma Reid" died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William God ard, Saturday, December ?, 1919, al the age of 84 years, 7 months and 19 days.
 Mary Ellen Davis was born in Ran dclph county, Missouri, May 8, 1855. She was married to George William Reid on August 19, 1853. Thirteen children were born of this union, six of whom are living, and were with her when the end came. Edgar Reid of Flagstaff, Mrs. John Cox, Mrs. William Goddard, Cole, George and Uriah Reid of Camp Verde.
 A remarkable thing about this dear old lady is the fact that she had ll5 descendants, 87 of whom are living The living, in their order, are six children, 2S grandchildren, B great grandchildren, and two great-great- grandchildren. Few people have such a record.
 Someone has written such a beau- tiful little story which goes some thing like this: Mother works for you, looks after you, loves you, for gives you anything you may do and the only thing she ever does to hurt you is to die and leave you" How well that describes Grandma's life, she was a mother to all of us and I truly believe that the 'only thing she ever did to hurt us was to die and leave us"
 She was member of the Christian church, having joined that branch when just young girl. Brother Acuff, pastor of the Methodist church at this place, conducted the funeral services. So many sorrowing relat- ives and friends were present to pay their last respects to this beloved woman and to go with her to that last resting place.
 God is omnipotent, and man is i'm mortal. Therefore, be patient and work. The end shall certainly be joy, not sorrow. The stone shall roll away, and the dead shall rise again. Let us then look upward through our tears, look forward to that joy which shall surely be ours in the end, and to that day when we hope to meet her There.

claims that were prosecuted success fully by the local organization, be- sides the finding of jobs for several of the men discharged from Whipple Barracks, as well as ex-service men who came to Yavapai for the climatic conditions. Also the Legion's CO., operation with the federal board of vocational education has gained it deserved recognition from the head of that organization in charge of the San Francisco district.
 The veterans are looking forward to the day when housed in building at once headquarters and memorial to the fallen of this community, the work and service for the ex-soldier can be enlarged to include co-opera- ton with the medication of Amer icanism and social and civic better ment. With the passing of the holi- days Legion activity will be at a maximum, regular meetings will be held, and the veterans of the war will demonstrate their capacity to be of effective service in civil capacity in the better years to come.
 George Nilsson, the adjutant, has stated that a meeting will be called to be held early in January.
 Already the membership has mani fested such strong interest that full attendance of the veterans is pre- dicted. With membership approach ing the 500 mark, the influence for 100 per cent Americanism in this community will be great. And as the cooperation of the representative in terests of the city has been pledged in support of the purposes of this creditable young organization of the sons of Yavapai, Prescott will feel the benefit of the activity of the Ernest Love Post during the coming year.

BUILDING RESUME SHOWS CITY
 HAS EXPERIENCED A STEADY
 GROWTH DURING PAST YEAR

near the business property. The ex- tensive addition to the Valdrini hotel has been completed giving the city a moderate rate hotel with capacity of above 200 rooms.
 Three new business rooms erected by Contractor Chris Totten for John Zucca on North Cortez, adjoining Timerhof's, are almost ready for oc- cupancy. The remodeling of the building which houses the extensive automobile show rooms and repair department of Charley Reibeling's garage, added to the modern aspect of South Montezuma street, as has the building of modern show windows ill many of the establishments. :
 That the growth of the city is com mercial as well as residential is evi- denced by the addition which o. w. Bruchman is building into his store building at 123 North Cortez street. An entirely new front is being built, of the double-decE,, all plate glass city show window style. ..-- |.
 Also the store width is being in creased four and one-half feet by utilizing the space formerly used as a stairway. In addition to this en- largement, the clothing store is being heightened 20 feet, an extension of this length now being under con struction.
