SCOTTSDALE HIGH
 PLANNING EXHIBIT.

SCOTSDALE, Nov. 5.-Although tke agricultural exhibits of the In- dustrial Week fair at Phoenix were decided upon too late to make an ex- tensive exhibit, the boys in the voca- tional agricultural classes of the To- cal high school have been busy the past two days gathering material un- der the supervision of their instructor. About 30 exhibits will be on display from this district. Most of them will be citrus fruits and field crops, as 1t is too early for the garden crops. If the boys are fortunate enough to win any premiums the money will be turned over to the athletic associa- tion to buy needed equipment for bas- ket ball and track.
 c. E. Schultz went to Goodyear yesterday to purchase some of the registered pigs from that company. Since the first Goodyear pigs were brought into the district three months ago the farmers have been securing more purebred stock, until there are some 30 pigs in the district. A pig club, similar to the one at Chandler, will be started soon by the agricul- tural instructor. The pigs will be se- cured at cost from the Goodyear com pany and the boy who raises the best pig will receive a registered Duroc- Jersey boar free from the company for his prize.
 Mrs. Caroline Wilden of Victoria, Tex. is visiting her sons. s. J. and J. A. Widen of this district She ex- poets to make an extended visit.
 A. l.. Morgan of Morgan & Ford company of Phoenix enjoyed picnic supper last evening with friends on the desert near Scottsdale.
 The home economics class or the high school started lessons in olive pickling this week. Each class mem Der picked a half gallon of olives, made the Iye and lime solution and soaked the olives until the dark circle made by the I've penetrating the fruit nearly reached the seed. They then removed them from the lye solution and began to wash the lye out by soaking the olives in fresh water and changing it three times a day. Next week they will start salting the olives by putting them in a per cent salt solution and gradually increasing it to an per cent solution
 The class in farm shop work fin- ished the barn they were building for practice work and made a set of basketball backstops, foot bridge and several benches for the school the past week.
 The letters for the boys basket ball team came last week and the team look classy with their black jerseys and six-inch orange "S's." The boys have been practicing hard the past week and have improved 50 per cent since their game with Tempe Normal last Friday. The girls have been practicing every evening and will put up a good game against Tempe high when they meet. What the team lacks in height will be made up in -vaad if oh CnadyViu can get the team to practice enough in the even ings.
 The class in bookkeeping has become so large that there is not enough for it in the regular room and Principal DuRoss has moved it into the agricul- tural room so they can use the large tables there.

WATCH YOUR STEP!
 TRAFFIC COPS BACK

Phoenix resumed it's real metro poIitan air again yesterday. Those from the rural districts had cause to open their mouths in wonder and ad- nniration and those from other cities who had just arrived here felt per fectly at home.
 And the reason
 Traffic semaphores were reinstated st the intersections of Washington and Center streets, Center and Ad- ans streets, and Washington street and First avenue. Long lines of cars halted as the red signal turned to- ward them while other long lines of cars with shifting gears and turning wheels. It was all very much big town stuff, and very much needed.
 According to Captain Duncan who is in charge of the police traffic squad. automobiles are piling into the city at rate which may soon neces- sitate the placing of fourth traffic man and semaphore at Adams street and Second avenue

Oolenoy, October 2.-The Oolenoy
community sustained an irreparable
loss in the death of j, Forest Wei
born, which occurred at his home
Monday, September 2G. While he
had been in declining health for
some time few realized the serious

fully of his condition. His closest

member Of the Baptist church. For
a number of years he had served as
deacon of the Pleasant Grove Bap-
tist church of which he was mem
be, at the time of his death. He
was of a quiet and unassuming dis
position. a high tribute paid by
neighbor was that during all Of his
acquaintance with the deceased he
had never heard him express a harsh
criticism of any one. In this way
he erected his own monument--a
priceless example worthy of emua-
ton. He was the eldest son Of Mr.
and Mrs. j. NJ. Welborn, of Pickcns,
one Of the oldest and most subStan-
tial families of the county. The fol-
lowing brothers and sisters survive
him: Mrs. Henry Hendricks. of An
