President E. C. Warriner of the
Central Michigan Normal School,
former superintendent of schools in
Saginaw, gave a very interesting talk
to the boys and girls of the High
School, Wednesday morning. Mr..
Warriner encouraged the pupils fin
ishing school and those intending to
finish school.
With cooperation and interest al
most anything can be accomplished.
Only recently we have learned that
cooperation, not isolation, means
progress. We have discovered, ito,
that "lack of interest" is the bane
of many worthwhile project. No
school can be successfully handled
unless the patrons of the school CO.
| operate with the teachers and mani
fest sincere interest in the work of
the pupils. The writer wonders wheth-
er our teachers can sense a commun-
ity support and pupils a good COM
munity interest? What is needed is
an acquaintance of teachers and par
ents that they may work together in
solving the problems of education.
Furthermore, visitation of the
schools by the parents is necessary in
order that the pupils may know that
their efforts are being understood
and appreciated. For an awakening
of community and school spirit let us
have a Parent-Teachers' Day, ir
which patrons shall visit the school
meet the teachers of their children
and establish their relations with the
cause of education.

The other day something in hu-
man form put turpentine on a poor
dog that has run about our streets,
harming no one and exhibiting good
will to everybody, causing it the
most exquisite suffering. This was
an act so low, so absolutely unwor-
thy any human instinct, so positively
venomous that we confess ourselves
unable to characterize it in language
that would be proper in print. The
ways of Providence are past human
ken, we do not know why some
things happen, but it would appear
to us that when every other damna-
BILE species of evil had been provided
for, there was a little material left,
too poor for anything else, which
evolved itself into a soul capable of
finding pleasure in the suffering of
anything. (Later)-The foregoing
was just what fixed up and blew off
the first thing. Now that we are re-
lieved, our second, and probably bet
ter thought, is to endeavor to say
something that might operate to
change the mental attitude of the
person or persons who did this cruel
thing and make them worthy of the
beautiful world in which they live,
partakers of that spirit of love and
kindness which makes life worth liv-
ing. We should like to say some
thing that would make them cap
able of looking into the beautiful,
brown eyes of dog and finding
there communion with an unselfish,
unalloyed, devoted friendship, like
unto the trusting friendship of a
child, and all too seldom, alas, ex-
perienced in our associations with
men.

VALUABLE ANIMAL DIES

A. J. Littlefield sustained a very
considerable loss last week, when the
thoroughbred sire heading his herd
of pure bred Holsteins died sudden
ly. Mr.. Littlefield bought the ami
NAL at the Piper dispersal sale, a
little more than year ago, paying
$1,700 for him, and there was every
prospect that he would bring at least
$4,000 at the sale to be held Satur-
day. The animals death was caused
by a nail, doubtless swallowed with
his food, which found Judgement in
the lung cavity. This, of course, was
not discovered until an examination
was made after death.

OBITUARY
Heck


1t appears The Messenger was
somewhat in error in the report of
the death of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Heck, of Brooklyn, as published last
week. The facts, as CLEANED from
Brooklyn papers, published at the
time, appear to be about as follows
Mr.. and Mrs. Heck partook of some
canned spinach in a restaurant on
Wednesday evening, April 7th. The
day following Mrs. Heck complained
of feeling i'll and went to consult a
physician, growing worse so rapidly
that it was necessary to take her
home in an ambulance. Mr.. Heck
went to work as usual on the morn
ing Of this day, but in the afternoon
he was compelled to return home
because of illness. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Heck grew steadily worse, des-
pite the attentions of the best medi-
cal skill procurable, and on Saturday
morning the wife passed away. For
a time it was believed Mr.. Heck
would recover, but on the day follow
ing the demise of his wife he also
was claimed by death. Mrs. Clara
Heck, who was assisting in the care
of her mother, Mrs. Isabella Mon
gold, the latter being very seriously
ill, was at first apprised of the ser
ious illness of her son and his wife
in a telegram. Within a few hours
after this she received another mes
sage stating the death Of the wife and
advising her that the son was
hanging to life by thread in the
hope that he might live until she
could reach his bedside. Mrs. Heck
took the first available train, arriving
in Brooklyn on Sunday, about three
hours after her son had passed away.
The cause of death was given by the
physicians as botulism, rare dis
ease caused from eating infected
food. The young people had many
friends in Brooklyn and in published
accounts of the tragedy were men,
toned in highest terms. Mr.. Heck
grew to manhood in this community.
where he had many warm friends, 30
all of whom the news of his sudden
and untimely death caused the deep
est regret. 1t should be said, also.
that for four years he served his
country in the navy. Funeral SER
vices were held in Brooklyn, Monday
evening, and the remains were taken
to Kingston, NJ Y, where they were
inferred in the family lot in the ceme-
terry at that place.

cattle owned by A. J. Littlefield, this

Ft. Atcheson, Wis, as auctioneer.
1t will scarcely be necessary to state
that this herd is one of the largest
and best in this section of the state.

MT. Harry Lawton, popular freight and passenger agent of | the Southern Pacific of Mexico, with headquarters at Guaymas, was a visitor in Nogales this week on company business. He was accompanied by his friend John A. McPherson, American vice consul at Guaymas.
 Candidates on the Democratic county ticket who have been campaigning the outlying dis tricts this week, are very en- thusiastic over the outlook for ticket. With a united party this year, not only in Santa Cruz county but throughout the state, victory appears certain at the coming general election on the second day of November.
 J. R. Halstead, auditor for the J. D. Halstead Lumber Con- pauy, the main offices of which were recently moved to Los An geles from Phoenix, is a busi- ness visitor in Nogales. Mir. Halstead has made reservation for himself and wife on the big Nogales City of Mexico Special. They will be chaperoned by Mir. and Mrs. Joe Poliu while at the Mexican national capital during the inauguration of President Oregon.
 That the workers of Arizona support U. S. Senator Mark Smith in the coming election, is the recommendation made by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of La bor and noted eastern labor leader, recently made in a public announcement. Gompers said further that Senator Smiths re cord in congress had proved him to be the friend of the workers, and fair and just to both capital and labor.
 Harry J. (PaD Patterson of Patagonia, is in the city in the interest of his candidacy for the office of sheriff of Santa Cruz county. Like the other candi- dates on the Democratic ticket, Pat is making a clean, open and above board campaign. If elect ed to the very important office of sheriff, Pat will conduct that office in a clean, open and above board manner, always doing his duty. Pat has made a fine re cord as deputy sheriff; he will make good as sheriff.

NEW BORDER c. OF c.

Constituti ton and by laws of the American, Mexican border chamber of commerce will be submitted to the local chamber for approval and the question of this commercial body joining the organization decided upon.
 The organization of the Bor- der Chamber of Commerce dur ing the recent conference in Ell Paso of representative of bor- der cities would be noteworthy under any circumstances, but it is particularly so at this time, when the cementing of the two republics into perpetually cor dial relations is being given so much sincere attention by both the United States and Mexico.
 The object of the new organi- zation, which will be composed of the chambers of commerce of cities in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, and the Mexican states of Sonora, Sina- loa, Chihuahua, Coahuila. Du- rango and Nuevo Leon, as set forth in the constitution, is to secure among the membership united and co operative action in the development and exten- sion of trade and commerce be- tween the United States and Mexico and, to this~end, to study all problems effecting such trade and commerce, and to devise ways and means to eliminate all conditions which tend to restrict and retard it."
 Temporary officers were cho- sen, pending the formation of tbe permanent organization, as follows:
 U. B. Bristol, secretary of the Nogales Chamber of Com merce, president; c. L.. Jessup of Brownsville, first vice presi- dent; Manuel R. Meir of Chihua- hua City, second vice president; D. A. Bardeen of El Paso, sec retary manager. These officers, together with one director, to be selected by the El Paso, Juarez, San Antonio and Imperial Val ley chambers of commerce, will form the temporary executive committee.-OaSiS.

PATAGONIA MINiN0 NOTES.
(Patagonian)

Thomas Gardner and Lander Young have just shipped a car of high grade lead silver ore from their lease on the Hardshell mine. They have shipped a number of cars from this lease, and have several more on the way.
 Three shifts a day have been working steadily unwatering the Sweet shaft of the Consolidated Southern Arizona Mining Con- pany. The equipment is work ing finely and the shaft is in good condition. The water is now down to within ten feet of the bottom, or 36O foot level. It is presumed that as soon as this shaft is unwatered that active development work will begin.
 The collection of ores and specimens for the State Fair are now in the hands of MT. J. B. Bristol of the Nogales Chamber of Commerce. While this col lection was not representative of the entire district, it was very good, and will help to show the people at the Fair what we have here in the way of ores. Those who did not get their specimens in can still do so by leaving them at the office of the Patagonian. Every specimen helps. Get them in.
