REDUCE FREIGHT RATES
 ON SHEEP SHIPMENTS

PHOENIX, March 29.-The Arizona corporation commission has ordered the railway companies to make re- duction of approximately 3719 per cent in the freight rate on shipments of sheep from the Salt River valley to points in northern Arizona, the re- duction to be only temporary.
 This reduction was made on re- quest of the Arizona Wool Growers association through it's president and secretary, Senator Hugh E. Campbell and Judge F. w. Perkins, respectively.
 It is estimated that 100000 sheep will be shipped by rail to the summer ranges in northern Arizona. These sheep are in the Salt River valley pas tues and can not be driven across the desert country to the trails and drive ways without mourning serious losses.
 It is reported from trustworthy sources that sheep men having per nits on certain of the National For ests will, in cases where it seems to be necessary, be permitted to enter their range allotments month or six weeks earlier than usual. The court eSy thus shown to sheep owners by the forest officers is much appreciated by flock owners.
 The Arizona sheep sanitary com mission was given an appropriation of $15,0O0.0O by the state legislature, which is S7,500.00 for each of the next two fiscal years. This is the largest sum that the commission has ever received from the general fund, and will in all probability cover the expenses of the commission during the next two years, making it unneces- sary to collect the special tax hereto fore levied on sheep.
 The drought still continues to hold sway on the desert. Late rains, how ever, have refreshed the uplands in a few sections, some green feed being reported in the Mayer and Cordes dis tlicts. Flock owners are greatly in hopes that there will be feed enough so that sheep can be trailed to their summer ranges without further hard ships.
 Shearing is in progress at Congress Junction, Wickenburg, Bumblebee, Mesa and at a number of places in the Salt River Valley. It will continue well into April at some of these places.

STATE EDUCATION
 BOARD FACES BIG TASK

The state board of education is faced with putting across two big pro- jects as a result of legislation enact ed at the recent session of the legis lature, according to Miss Elsie Toles, state superintendent of education. Not that the state board is complaining of the task before it. The board request ed the legislation that brings about these two new pieces of work.
 The first big task is that of ar ranging the plans in every detail for carrying on the teachers institutes under the Jurisdiction of the state board of education. Under the form CT arrangements, the teachers insti- tutes were strictly county affairs, ar ranged and paid for by the several counties. Under this plan the county sets the time, and the place for the meeting, the teachers coming from all parts of the county to attend the in stitute.
 Under the new legislation, the insti- tutes will be conducted by the state board. The speakers to lecture to the teachers on professional subjects will be chosen by the state board. Instead of the teachers coming to the speak CTS, the speakers will visit the several communities and deliver their lec- lures.
 "The proposed plan will be a big improvement over the old one," said Miss Toles. By sending the speakers out to the teachers of the communi ties we hope thereby to reach also the residents of the various communities as well as the teachers. This plan also will do away with the necessity of closing up the schools for two or three days as was customary when the teachers were expected to attend the institutes"
 The work of securing the desired speakers and arranging speaking schedules for them will have to be worked out in the office of the state superintendent. The state will pay for all expenses incurred in holding the institutes.
 The second big pice of work to be taken up by the state school board un- ger new legislation is the matter of handling the certifcation of teachers. The new law turns all of this work over to the state board of education. Formerly this was handled by the state board of examiners. This board is to be abolished.
 Under the new plan, which takes effect next June, it is hoped to raise the standards of the teaching profes- sion of the state. Already the stand ard is considered unusually high, ac- cording to Miss Toles, but the board is anxious to continue the improvement wherever it is possible. Plans for this new work will have to be drawn up and put into action within the next three or four months.
 Both of the bills that provide for these new features in the administra- tion of the state school system were urged by the progressive school peo- pie of the state. On the whole, it looks as though the new state super intendent of schools has some real work before her in putting into ef- feet the provisions of these two bills alone.

MAN KILLS
 SELF IN FIT OF DESPONDENCY

Seated under a tree near the north west corner of Library park, Phoenix, at ' o'clock last evening, an unidenti- fed man suddenly removed his hat from his head. threw it from him, and then sent a. bullet into his brain. Death was almost instantaneous. A man and a boy were the only witness es of the act.
 There were few people in Library park at that hour last evening and no one noticed when the man entered or what he had been doing. c. E. Gaba- an, who was passing the park, had his attention attracted to the man as he suddenly threw his hat from him and with the other hand at almost the same instant raised a revolver to his head and fired a shot. He fell forward to the ground.

BACK TO HONESTY
(Columbus Enquirer.Sun.l

We, as a people, have got to return to the
basic principle of honesty, upon when American
industry and commerce are founded" declared
Alba B. Johnson, president of the Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce. in address he made
not long ago at of the annual exercises of
the University of Pennsylvania This. one natur-
ally would conclude, is a rather broad inlplica-
ton that we, as a people, have not been prac
ticing that virtue as we should have done for
time past.
And it may be that Mr.. johnson isn't so far
wrong. when we come to consider the matter in
the same light that he does. He arraigned the
entire nation for having lost sight of the funda
mental facts of certain forms of honesty from
which we are not excused because based upon
an exchange of service. Mr.. Johnson declared
that the main object today is to get something
without paying for it, but" he asserted, lin the
end we pay the price,
And we do pay the price When we resort to
extravaganza, which is only form of dishonesty
we find that before we through, have to
pay the cost. This is true of our individual as
we'll as of our national life. 1t is the experience
of every man who has done so, and it is likewise
the experience of every nation that has permit
ted extravaganza to run away with sound judg-
ment and good business.
We shall have to get back to common honesty.
IF Johnson says, before shall be able to
reach the goal we desire. In this dishonest prac-
tice, we are cheating not only others, but we are
not true to ourselves. And we can never hope to
thrive and grow and be great in the true sense
of the term until we are .0nest and in this, as
in charity, should begin the practice at home
for it is true, as shakespeare expresses it
ITO thine self be true,
And it must follow as night the day
Thou canst not then be false to any man"

THE PERFECT LADY

Mrs James Randolph, of Michigan, evidently
doesn't approve of the modern girl She says
ITO be perfect lady girl cannot use rouge,

all, of these things and be lady enough for all
practical purposes, provided she doesn't make

don't suppose there many among the younger
set Of girls-meaning those under tnirty-who
conform to Mrs. Randolphs standard of per
feet lady" Some few who afflicted with poor
health may do it, but these, of course are to be
pitied
We like to see a girl rouge if she needs
it and can use it with proper restraint We don't
know enough about the wiggle and the todde to
pass Judgment but we know all about chewing
gum and can state that it not only doesn't hurt
the girls to chew it, but seems to do them good,
especially then they pull it and pop it. We used
to know girl who kind, friendly virtuous
and intelligent, and she was one of the best rag
time singers in South Florida. Ii she wasn't
good enough to be called lady, then we don't
care for ladies, and don't believe the Lord does
either.
Nearly all girls cross their legs in public these
days and think nothing of it. There is no reason
why they shouldn't do if they are properly
clothed. The time has ong-snce passed when
the exposure of the lower half of the feminine
limb was considered shockngly immodest. And
so far as that goes. never yet have heard of
an authentic of immortality growing out of
the modern custom of wearing practically moth
ing at Clearwater Beach and other bathing re-
sorts.

ANOTHER VIEWPOINT

editorial utterances Of this newspaper regarding
participation by the United States in the world
var and the causes that brought about this action
The question was raised as tc whether the ele-
gram had ever considered one phase of the war
situation that had tremendous bearing on the
territorial integrity Of the United States Being
far removed from the Canadian border it was sug-
gesied that the south generally failed to realize

and the kaiser were to be next door neighbors.
The fact that for more than one hundred years
there has net been fort or a gun or warship

neighbors brought out the realization that under
German vassalage things would be different Here

EVENING HOURS

The day with its worries is ended at last, its
troubles and hurres things of the past; the
sun has descended, the night shadows close, the
evening is splendid, it brings me repose. All
day was drilling and sweating around, and
moving and milling and paving the ground;
| welded the onions and wrestled with trees I'M
til l had bunions on fingers and knees. And oft
in my toifing l murmured, "By James! What
profits this moiling? What good mems games?
We labor and labor, and labor some more, till
Death with his saber comes up to the door.
We're blowing or hewing or building wall;
what good are we doing? What use is it all? We
fill up the hollow, we drain out the weir; and peo
pie who follow whit know we we're here" And
now in the cleaning my rest is so sweet, think
of my roaming around in the heat, and know
that it fitted my soul for this hour, and toll is
acquitted of charges dour. l carried my bur
den until the days close, and this is the guerdon
"a tired mans repose.
