OCCIDENTAL STARS
 HAIL FROM PHOENIX

Athletics have gained a firm hold at Occidental college and the California educational institution is breaking into the spotlight in no uncertain manner.
 For several years the California college has turned out some star ath- letes, but not until the last few years has the fame of Occidental reached beyond the borders of the home state. Today the name of Occidental is known in athletic centers all over the world and Occidental stars call for public attention even in the remote corners of the orient
 Local sports will be interested in the athletic work of the school on ac- count of the many Phoenix boys who have participated in OccidentaIs in ter college events.
 Hugh Creighton, a recent graduate of Occidental and a well known Phoe- nix youngster, made his name on the athletic field during the school term just closed. Hugh is leaving Phoenix in a few weeks for Hang Chow China, where he vii coach the Chinese stu dents In American sports. Hugh was chosen for the position on account of his record at Occidental.
 William Work, member of the Phoe- nix high school class of 1916, has been selected for the position of graduate manager of Occidental athletics. Work will have charge of the Occidental eleven and will take his boys to the Hawaiian Islands in December for a series of exhibition games in the Ori- ent.
 Vic Norton, of the Phoenix high school class of 1918. was the star of the football team at Occidental last year. Vic made three letters in ath- letics, romping away with honors in football, basketball and baseball. The Occidental roster is crowded with the names of well known Phoenix lads, and each one is striving to win rec ord for himself and the school. The progress of Occidental athletics will be watched with considerable interest, especially since the local youths have gained prominence with the coast ln- StitutiOn

KID PALMER MATCHED WITH JACK ROBINSON FUR FRIDAY EVENING

card which promises fight fans fast action every minutes Of every round has been arranged by the Ameri- can Legion for next Friday night at Tallys arena. The main event will bring together Kid Palmer and Salinas Jack Robinson, two of the best boys of their weight in the country. Palmer, the California bearcat, is an ex- soldier. He has been the sensation of the south west for the past year.
 For several months the Legion match maker has been trying to match Kid Palmer up with a. fighter of equal class and in picking Cupid Robinson has as~ sured followers of the fistic game a real fight. Both boys are in Phoenix now and will begin training for the coming contest immediately. The pub lie will be invited to the workouts, which will be held at the Lewis train ing quarters, Eighth and Washington streets every night at o'clock
 Battling Scotty and Billy Alger will get together for the semi windup. When Alger saw the tough old war horse Scotty in his last fight with Hol- glen at Miami he begged for the chance which he will get Friday night. He has promised to give Scotty all the fight he wants and Scotty says 1t can't be done.
 Mack Spaw, another imported boy. will tackle Young Nugent in a four round go. Spaw has the reputation of being the hardest hitter among the To- cal boys, having kayoed such scrappers as Holguen, Kid Mereno, One Round Cornett and Kicks Cooper. Other good preliminaries will make up one of the best cards which has been offered this season. Tickets will be placed on sale t.today at Doyle's cigar stand. One sec tion will be reserved for women and their escorts.

My attention has been slightly at
tracted twice of late to some little
pale lines of poetry that have sprouted
up in the columns of the Courier.
They are the product of some distem-
pered mind that doesn't even know
the value of time. 1t may have been
an apparition of the mind on my part,
but / believe these lines appeared. /
am hardly certain though about this.
But it sometimes seems that l /, can
see the indistinct shadow of some
little demi-devil that appears to be
skinning cats in the air above my
soup-stand. 1t may be this little man
a-cutting up so that is not so very
high nor so very low. Some thick
head that is trying to make spread.
l can't see what strange spell has
seized this numb-skull. He wants
to say something it seems but he
can't spit it up nor he can't gulp it

RURAL SANITATION

Spring is coming, and with its COM
ing many things must be done.
Ground must be prepared and crops
planted, that men may live through
the next winter season. But, other
things should also be done that men
may enjoy the fruit of his labor, for
certain diseases are more prevalent
during the warm season.
The peach trees viii be budding; but
also viii the typhoid germ" be breed

The dogwood will bloom; and the
housefly will multiply.
The grass will grow green; and the
malaria parasite will take up his
journey from man to man with the
mosquito playing the dual part of host
and vehicle.
So let US this year conduct our
"spring cleaning" with the prevention
of disease as well as the attractive
ness of the home in our mind
1t is important to clean up the attic;
but it is infinitely more worth while
TO clean out the insanitary surface

ask.
The guest room may need spring
cleaning; but it is also important to
clean up the barnyard and out-build-
ings, that flies may not breed, and to
provide a garbage pail with a fly
proof cover, that they may starve to
death when bred. Swat the fly early in
the spring, for one killed then means
a bushel less in August, so fast does
his tribe increase.
The dining room and kitchen may
be thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned;
but for safety's sake screen the house
with well fitting screens, that flies
may not carry filth to human food
and baby's lips.
Repair the back porch where it is
broken through; but build a tight
concrete curb about the we'll to ex-
clude surface washings and the en-
trance of filth tracked by the feet of
fowls and animals, both human and
otherwise.
If you have not taken typhoid vac
cine in the past two years, take it
early this spring, that that stable of
safety may be locked before the steed
of health is stolen.
Should you live in 4 malarial sec
ton, it will also be necessary to do
some mesquite 'spring cleaning" that
the malaria parasite may find no host
and no transportation waiting when
he arrives on the scene. Houses in such
localities should be completely screen
ed with wire having 20 strands or 10
meshes to the inch. Copper or bronze
wire should be used for, though ex-
pensive at first, it lasts longer and is
less expensive in the long run.
See that no collections of water are
available anywhere for the mosquito
to breed. Open up any drains and
cover the water in the rain barrel with
a film of kerosene to smother the
wiggletails before they develop into
mosquitoes. Water may be drawn
from a spigot set in the lower part of
the barrel. Straighten the course, mar
row the channel, and clean away the
vegetation along the banks of the
''sprig branch" that no stagnant or
slow moving pools may occur. Mos

Poor, dull numb-skun. The first

came at m as mild as a gentle
child. I said nothing. Then he grew
bold and bad, this poor ignorant lad.
He came with his singer out fierce
and loud and shot his little dart, this
young upstart still held back
awhile, thinking that it was hardly
necessary for a man of my known
ability ard mettle to enter the lists
against such small intellectual TOM
tit as this. There is no renown to
be gained from drawing blood from
a mull-head. Shall man waste paper
and ink or make his thinker think
about such little jink? Shall man
reach forth his hand and grab the
bitter crab? There is so much better
to be had than that. Shall a man
fish for knotty head until the better
fish are dead?
If this knotty head doesn't quit
nibbling at my toes, I'll have to
stamp him dead.
But goodbye, Knotty head, / must
