GRAPE GROWERS ARE
 TO MEET SATURDAY
 AT WATER USERS

The grape growers of Arizona are pushing their organization plans as rapidly as possible and hope to be a going concern by next Saturday. The second call for a meeting has been is sued and all growers interested in the movement are urged to be at the Water Users building on Saturday at 1: 30 D. m.
 The business to come before .he assembled grape growers will be .he. adoption of constitution and by laws, the appointing of working com mirtees and other necessary business. It is reminded that as the business of growing grapes commercially in the Salt River valley is given closer attention by those interested, the pos abilities opened up to producers here are more and more apparent.
 It is stated that the earliness of all varieties used as table grapes seem to offer the greatest opportunities. Some of the finest table grapes grown in North America do excep- tionally well in this climate and soil As this is from 500 to zoo miles nearer the eastern markets, it is a point very much in favor of the local growers. Production per acre in this soil is still another point that should be realized as having great bearing on the matter.
 What cuttings planted in the spring will do is well illustrated on the farm of ". J. Burnett at Peoria These cuttings were planted 10 feet apart and the runners from them in this seasons growth so far are tapping each other. or five feet or better in one year. Mir. Burnett is an experi- enced grape grower from the San Joaquin valley of California and is demonstrating his belief that this is a good grape country by planting 60 acres this last spring at his Peoria ranch. All growers are advised to call at MT. Burnett's place and look it over

 A Few Improvements
 Now a few 100 wds. ago I made the remark that I did not care for the game and 1 suppose some of my readers will say to themself that I am trying to pose like a smart Alex and a wise guy because l claim to not like a game that don't take brains to play il.
 Well friends. they couldn't nothing be father from the truth. As l have pointed out, the whole merits of the game lays in the fact that play ing it gives the brains a complete rest and as far as l am conserned that is just like earring coals to New Castle, Penn. That is why l cant take no int. in top spining but I cer- tainly can't find no fault with folks that does. because I realize that good many people needs to rest up different parts of their organisms and specially the weak parts. So instead of me starting a cam paign vs. Put and Take on the grounds that it is a game where F wit is on equal turns with a mas ter mind, why I am going to suS- gest a improvement on 1t namely game where you don't even half to remember what different initials stands for or run the risk of a lame arm from handleing a big oz. top.
 The name of my game is Visiting Cards and it can be played by any number of F wits but We will pre- | tend like theys 10 people playing it.. Everybody brings one of their visit ing cards and gives them to the hots and he drops them in hat.
 Then everybody puts a quarter in the pot. The host then shakes up the cards in the hat and pulls one of them out and reads the name out loud and who ever's name it is that he reads wins the pot. If the host cant read, one of the guests that has had more advantage can be ap- pointed to handle the hat and read the cards.
 This game will be found to be | improvement over the top because they's only one of the players that is

Matter of Teachers Salaries
Taken Up In Report of Supt.
of Schools HI. H. Stuart-An-
nual Report Given Out Mon
day

Teachers salaries is one of the
matters taken up by Superintendent
of Schools II. II. Stuart in his annual
report for the school year 192021,
contained in the 14th annual report
of the Board of Education of the
City of Augusta which has just been
given out. Everyone admits that IN
the past teachers have not been ade-
quately paid for their services" says
Mr. Stuart. During the last three
years your Board has granted to
teachers sizcable increases in wages.
During the school year 1917-1S no
elementary school teacher received Il
salary in excess Of $500 per annum;
While during the past year that
same teacher received 5000. In the
high school q similar change has
taken place; the maximum going
from $3.50 in 19l1-lS to $l400 in
I920-21. Similar increases have been
made throughout the country in the
hope of restoring the teaching profess
sion to its rishtful place and making
it an occupation attractive to our
best young men and women.
This year the annual increase to
teachers working at less than the
maximum has been set by the Board
at $50 instead Of 500, as has been
customary in the past This will be
a disappointment to many teachers,
but | feel sure that they will accept
such disappointment in the spirit of
loyaltr. realizing that the decreased
cost of living is equivalent to a sal
airy raise; that there is limit to
which cities may go in expenditures
for wages, also that other city de-
partmcnts arc also confronted with
serious financial problems.
II am convinced that the maximum
Of $3.50 established in our high
school is not large enough to MAIN
tain the efficient teaching force
which Augusta people will demand,
and l recommend that this maximum
be placed at $1,000 as soon as funds
are available"
Upon the question of High school
accommodations, Mr.. Stuart reports
that the growing demands of our
High school for more room have
"a q tA''i'' Iva \ w '''' ~ I'ION wv
rooms for the ninth grade in our
grade buildings. Such room may be
found in the assembly hall of the
Smith school. and in the assembly
hall of the Harrington school. AL
though the fitting up of these rooms
will require the expenditure Of con-
siderable money, there seems to be
no alternative. Even with this
makoshift arrangement, the High
school building Will not be adequate
or suitably adapted to the organ
lzation and admjnistra ton of a mod
ern high school. Practically all the
courses which we arc able to offer
now are of the traditional academic
type with commercial and household
economies courses. the latter improp-
crly housed and considerably abre-
waited because of lack of suitable
room. Preliminary steps at least
should be taken looking toward the
settlement of the question of high
school accommodations.

annual report is a table giving in

Report of Board Of Education


The report of the Board of Educa-
ton submitted by the chairman, DR..
w. S. Thompson says in part:
ut was very gratifying TO me to
note with what unanimous gcnerOS-
ity the citizens at the school meet
ing in May, last year voted the large
increase in the school budget. 1t has
ever been characteristic of the peo-
pie of this community, not only to
desire good schools but to be willing
to appropriate sufficient money to
secure satisfactory and efficient
schools.
Your Board of Education in cX-
pending the appropriation this year
las constantly maintained a spirit of
economy wherever such economy
would not interfere with the efficiency
of the schools. Although there have
been unforeseen increases in some of
the items entering into the expenses
of operating our schools we have
been able to get along on the amount
appropriated.
This year we are presenting .
budget no less carefully planned
than that of last year, budget
which does not contemplate any
marked changes in the method of
conducting our schools or in the
personnel of our teaching force. This
budget is somewhat in excess of that
of last year and larger than we
hoped it would be, but the Board
feels that in order to maintain the
schools at their present standard the
