March there was only one bid, of $62,- 779 and the board of supervisors and state engineer decided to reject it and construct the road by day labor. The forces started to organize, when two other contractors stated they would bid if the proposition were again sub- mitted.
 Tn order to avoid the loss of good weather, unless the bids were again too high, the highway department had them submit tentative bids to the board of supervisors to be held by them, the contractors agreeing that If they again submitted bids the bid would be as low as the tentative bids, which proved to be the case,' said Maddock.
 The highway department which is handling all it possibly can will now be relieved of the actual construction. Mir. Maddock stated that bids would be received at Flagstaff today for the paving of a portion of the Old Trails highway running through q part of the town and by the Northern Arizona Normal school. The work will be paid for by the city and federal aid secured by the highway department.
 Bids will also be requested shortly for the paving of a part of the same highway through Winslow. The legal requirements will delay finishing the road until summer, it is understood.

SAVE S10,481 IN 4O
 DAYS BY REJECTING
 FIRST HIGHWAY BID

Forty days after a bid of S62,7I9 was respected by the state highway depart
 ment for the building e the Oatman- Goldroad highway, bid of s52,39S was received and accepted at saving or $10,4S1 to the state.
 According to word received at the state engineers office yesterday, three bids were submitted for the construc- tion of the two- mile mountain road in Mohave county. the lowest being that of Alvey and Larson which will be accepted The other bids were $54,41T by Period Miller Construction com pany and s6O.2O0 by Period, Chappel
 and Granger.
 The states estimate for the road
 building was $54.29S.5O, and when the bids were forwarded Thomas Maddock,
 state engineer, advised Thomas S O'Connell to secure the consent of the
 board of supervisors for the lowest bid
 Part of the expenditure will be GOV
 cred by the 75 per cent fund, while federal aiI has been secured and the 9 per cent fund of the state will com
 plete the amount involved in the road
 building.
 Tn addition to the states estimate of
 S54 29s.50, material. including cement, reinforcing iron for the bridges and corrugated iron culverts, amounted to s14930 while 10 per cent for engi- neering and contingent expenses made the estimate $16,1 151 which brought the low bid $2.0OO below the estimate. When the bids were called for in

2OO BELOW STA TAvDARD
 TEACHERS IN ARIZONA

That it has been necessary to accept 200 below the standard teachers among the 2,100 employed in the state of Arizona, was reported to the Ma tional Education association by c. O. Case. state superintendent of public instruction In his report on condi- tions respecting teachers, MT. Case said it had been necessary to accept lower qualifications in order to supply instructors. He stated that the number of teachers below the age of 21 was increasing and that promising young men and women were not being at tracted to teaching as a profession as they were in the past.
 During the past year, MT. Case esti- mates, 800 teachers dropped out, while he gives the shortage of teachers for the coming school year as 100 and places the figure at 400 of the new teachers entering the school district over which he has supervision.
 Teachers salaries in Arizona have not increased as have the salaries in other vacations, MT. Case claims, hold ing that the salaries have not advanced in proportion to the cost of living.

CARRIER FORCE OF THE
 REPUBLICAN NOW r

The growing circulation of The Re publican, together with the purpose to give it's subscribers a better and more prompt service, has made it necessary to add 10 more carriers to the force. which already consisted of 62.
 The carrier corps has also been de- veloped in another way. The Repub- lican always maintained the best and most reliable force it could procure, but in so large q number of boys, es- pecially the younger boys, there were some who did not feel the responsibility that they had assumed. Still it has always been a fair average corps.
 But the level of it is being steadily raised by the employment of older boys and by the more careful selection of them. Among the members of the force is now Ferguson Burton of the Phoenix high school and the chosen yaledictorian of his class this year. His grades for the four years amount to 937 and he will be graduated with 1g credits Mir. Burton has been singled out for mention only because he is the type of carrier to which the circulation department of The Republican aspires.
 For The Republican that work is not for small and more or less irrespon sible young boys, but for young men of character who will find in it oppor- tunities for advancement as so many former carriers of this paper have ad- vanced to high positions.

TEh|NS GE7 AF TER CITIZEN QUOTA IN bIG CHURCHDR|VE
With Denominational Cam paigns Nearly All Ended, Workers Turn Attention To Public Subscriptions

Taking advantage of the extension of the time limit in the campaign Of the Interchurch World Movement, the First Baptist church of Phoenix hur- dIed over it's denominational quota of S45,O00 with an additional *7,000 yes terday. This church is now leading the state in the United Financial cam paign in which 30 national denomina- tions are participating. Many other churches throughout the state took ad- vantage of the extra time granted by obtaining full quotas and turning their attention to soliciting the citizens of their respective communities who are not church members.
 Best results from the general citi- zenshiD campaign which follows the denominational drive were reported from Douglas yesterday where B per cent of their quota has been realized. Floyd W. Farley. district director of Mohave county, reported to headquar- ters here yesterday that the churches there have obtained their denomina : tional quotas and are beginning the citizenship drive. Clifton has raised s90OO through denominational chan neIs and is now working on the class ..B', or citizenship lists. Nogales re- ports that the Baptists there over subscribed their quota on the third day Of the drive.
 Make Start In Tucson
 Although the churches at Tucson are continuing to work Cn their denomi- national quotas, $200 has already been church members. This is considered very encouraging as the actual citizen ship drive has not started in Tucson. Methodists at Clifton report $4,5O0 sub-

 Thousands of union church meet ings were held Sunday night in all parts of the country preparatory to the mobilization of church forces for thlS weeks citizens drive.
 Chance for the People
 During the present week., declares Lyman L. Pierce, national director general for the Interchurch World Movement, the American people will be given the chance to endorse by their gifts the interchurch idea, the joint kind, which includes the support of the interchurch program will have the right t-of-way The church teams will unite all over the country to play the biggest game that the Christian church has ever seen. An appeal is being made for multitudeS of gifts, large and small. for the lnterchurch World Movement fund which will be the Joint fund of the great coopera- tive movement of 30 denominations and which will be applied for the per petuatiC<t of the movement Of these 3U denominations in their efforts for the elimination of duplication of effort and needless lost notion

Swine plague at the prison farm was reported yesterday by Dr. R.

REVIVAL MEETINGS ARE TO BE OPENED
 AT GLENDALE NAY 9

Rev. H. c. Hart, recently of Los Angeles, will be the minister in charge of the union evangelistic services to be held in the Glendale grammar school auditorium under the auspices of the Baptist, Christian and Metho- dist Episcopal churches of that city.
 Rev. Hart is an evangelist well known throughout the country by those who follow the men who are giving Of their time and strength to the work of winning men and women to the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Before taking up the work of an evan gelist, Rev. Hart was pastor of a large church in St. Louis. Since that time as an evangelist he has covered nearly all of the largest cities in the United States and Canada. Among these being cities in the central states and on the extreme coasts, east and west. During the past eight years his meetings have been tabernacle ones-
 Tn 1908 he was the evangelist for the tabernacle meeting held by the Methodists in their annual Huntington Beach assembly.
 In the union tabernacle services held in Phoenix in 1917 his preaching brought blessing to number that can not be estimated. He held large crowds for term of four or five weeks with great interest manifest. Rev. Hart is a man fearless and undaunted. In man ner somewhat dramatic. His subjects are such as to bring people to a point where they will be honest with them selves and think.
 The services will open May 9, and extend for several weeks. The eXecu- tive committee is planning every de- tail. and will have a good song leader and interesting music throughout the meeting. Large crowds are expected
