WILDCAT CAUGHT
/. RABBIT DRIVE

The largest attended 'jackrabbit drive
ever held in Maricopa county was
staged Saturday afternoon at the c. w.
McColly farm southwest of Chandler.
Over 500 men, women, children and
Indians gathered to take part in the
drive which resulted in a wholesale
slaughter of jacks which have been de-
stroying the farmers crops.
The surprise of the day came when
wildcat sprang out of the brush and
joined the horde of jacks which were
fleeing before the onrushing, bowling
mob of 500 people armed with clubs,
horns, cowbells, etc. The wildcat was
quickly surrounded and killed by Y.
L. Homes. Nit Sims, Ben Clark and
party of this city.
The drive was held at the request of
! G. w. McColly of the Chandler Farm
Bureau. The matter was placed under
4 the direction of D. A. Gilchrist, rodent
pest director for the United States Bio
] logical Survey and the University of
Arizona. Poison Expert l.. G.. Metcalf
supervised the construction of a huge
corral with wings Of rabbit-proof fence
/ extending out for a mile on each side
Guy Fisher of the Southwestern Cot
! ton company of Goodyear co-operated
by furnishing several men to help con-
! struct the fence.
Plans We're made to handle a crowd
of 200 people and several of the live
wires of Chandler were placed in
charge, of divisions of men, o. H
Kunce, president of the Chandler Farm
Bureau, and W. w. Pickrell, secretary
of the Chandler Chamber of Commerce
assisted in this respect. 1t was very
difficult to handle the crowd of S0t
when plans We're made to take care
of only eco, and for this reason many
of the Indians and boys killed many
rabbits out on the skirmish line instead
of driving them into the corral. IL
} spite of this fact hundreds of rabbits
: were killed and the final rush of tn
jacks into the corral was a sight Ions
to be remembered
Plans are being made for anothe
drive at the same place. Watch fo
the date or you viii miss all Of tn
fun.
} City folks who attended the driv
were surprised to see the hordes O
= these pests which destroy the farmers
crops, and the farmers surely appre
! ciate the cooperation of the people i
attending these drives

An intensive drive on the pocket

The vessels missing are the Hewitt,

Yute, a bark which was last heard from

The parrot and a bottle containing a

No Booze for Rich;
Private Stocks in
Danger if POu Wins

WASHINGTON, june 21.-Congress
should make the rich dIsgorEe their
huge private stock of liquor. Repre-
sentative POu, North Carolina, said
today.
Amendment of the prohibition en-
fOrCement would make them operative
on rich and poor alike, according to
POu, who is ranking Democrat on the
House Rules Committee, which now
has the VOlstead supplemental pro-
hibitiOn bill under consideration.
"If we are TO have prohibition why
not make It affect all alike" said
Pou. Zone of the main causes of dis
satisfaction as the result of national
prohibition is that the rich man with
his well stocked cellar is immune
from the law, while IL some poor devil
is caught with a bottle of mOOnsIiine
in his possession he goes to jail.
There should be liquor for none or
liquor for all
The rich liquor drinker can be hit,
POu said, by making mere possession
of intoxicants crime and he Is
considering framing legislation to
this effect.

.SCOLES NAMED
INSPECTOR OF
STATE SCHOOLS
Board of Education Also
Adopts Basis of Giving
State Aid.

Leroy scoles of Ft Wayne was
named assistant State school inspector
by thu state board of education today.
The position, which carries a salary Of
$500 a year. was created at the last
session OF the Legislature.
Mr.. Scoles is a graduate Of the Acad-
emy of Goshen College and OF Nlnona
College. He was also a graduate student
at Indiana University and took extension
work at TT. Wayne. He subsequently
taught In various schools and was later
a grade school principal in TT. Wayne.
The board adopted a basis for the clas-
siacation Of common schools ia the State
TO be graded according to their efficiency.
At the suggestion of L. b. Witherow,
State school inspector, the following ha-
sis for classification was adopted giving
a possible score of 1O0 Grounds, q;
buildings, %; heating and ventilating, Z;
equipment, 21; school term, :; teachers,
70 supervision, Z janitor service, g. 1t
was explained that a school with over
80 points would be rated first class. with
between so and 80 points second class
and below so points third class. The
suggestion was also made that schools
rating less than. fifty points should not
receive State aid.
The three-year standard normal course
was changed to a four-year course by
the board and the requirement was made
that all high school principals must have
completed such course.
A committee composed of Lucius B.
Swift, c. e Coffin, Miss Eliza A. Blaker
and Joseph Daniels called on the board
asking it to approve the indianapolis
Teachers College as a Iormal school.
The matter was referred to the committee
on teacher training with the power to
act
The board ruled that the school at
tendance officers examination list
should be in the hands of State school
officials by June IL and that the officers
should be selected July IS.
A committee appointed to inspect an
Indiana supplement to the Frye geog-
raphy recently adopted by the board re-
ported that a number of errors had been
found and that they would be listed in
the books.
Following the meeting the board went
to the ClaypooI Hotel where a luncheon
was given IN honor of DIR. W. w Parsons,
Terre Haute, retiring president of the
Indiana Normal School Or. Parsons has
been a member of the board for about
forty years. He will be succeeded as
president of the normal school by L. n.
Hines, State superintendent of public in
struction.

HOLDS REMEDY
LIES IN APPEAL
City Files Demurrer to Michi-,
gan st. Injunction Suit.

Arguing that the remedy OF the
property owners lies in an appeal from
the assessments of the board of public
works rather than in inJunctive proceed
ings Thomas Stephenson, city attorney,
today filed a demurrer to the suit for
injunction to prohibit the board OF
public works from proceeding under a
resolution for the opening of Michigan
street from Dorman to Highland avenues.
The suit, which was brought by William
c., and Stella E. Freund, is pending
in Superior Court, Room 4.
The demurrer also contends that the
property owners ought not stop the open
ing of the street which is for the pur-
pose of eliminating a jog, by injunction,
because the board of public works had
a right to open the street, even though
it might be held that there was no power
for it to include in the cost Of opening
the cost of paving the new stretch. Merle
n. A. Walker, counsel for the Freunds,
holds that the resolution should be
blocked by injunction because it is ille-
gal in that it provides for opening and
paving at the same time. Since the part
of the resolution providing for opening
the street is not invalidated, Mr.. Stephen-
son argues, the entire procedure can not
be held up, but the property owners must
seek relief from the cost of the paving,
If they so desire, through a suit on ap7
peal from the board of works.
