With the exception of the Fort Apache Indian reservation, dourine has been practically wiped out of the reservations, according to a report made by Dr. F. l.. Schneider, of the bureau of animal industry, to Dr. R. J. Flight, state veterinarian, with whom he is cooperating in the work
 As this territory remains menace to the ultimate eradication of dour- inc and it's recurrence in the remain der of the state. Dr. Schneider has written to inquire the attitude of the state in handling the matter.
 All territory of the northern Indian reservations in Arizona Is shown by blood tests of horses to be free from infection, reports pr. Schneider of conditions in Navajo and Apache counties.
 The area in the Fort Defiance In- dian Jurisdiction of the Navajo reser- | yation, after several years of active work, is now considered to be free l from the disease, a large number of l positive reacting horses having been l found and destroyed in that section. The Moqui and Leupp reservations l to the west of Fort Defiance are practically clean at this time, an area l that was heavily over-run with I dourine infected horses.
 'Very active work has been ac- ! complished in the Western Navajo 1 Indian reservation under the CO., 1 operation of the Tuba City Indian l Agency writes Dr. Schneider. .In I the neighborhood of 250 positive re- acting horses have been found and l destroyed in this jurisdiction during

Friendly Moros made frequent visits to my camp and on one occasion this secretary appeared among them with his phonograph, and permitted several dattos to. talk into the machine. Then with some thing of the air of the magician, he
 would wave the crowd back and grind out the words spoken by the

 The principalscenters of Young Mems Christian Association control are alive with activity and teams in the various sports meet as frequently as
 possible to compete internationally for honors. The result has been an extension of Young Mems Christian Association prestige that must have a marked effect not only upon the future of the individuals concerned, but upon the relations that the peo- l pie whom they represent shall bear Ito each other. It all must lead to la better understanding and draw Ithem and us closer and closer to- gether in friendly intercourse as 1 time goes on.

sThe early appearance of the Young Mems Christian Association with the army was in the days when the soldier was rarely in the minds of our people. Luxury was unknown and none was expected, pay was meager and the isolation at times became very irksome, so the Young Mems Christian Association worker was a welcome companion and his comfort gratefully received.
 "On the border and in Mexico, the Association realized more than ever the opportunity to aid in affording the men of the service clean recrea-. tions. It provided reading rooms. clubs, games. lectures, movies. all of which served to keep him from the temptations that constantly follow in the wake of an army, or are found indigenous to the locality where the soldiers lot Is so frequently cast.
 The extension of Young Mems Christian Association work in America has been very gratifying. There lies in the heart of every man desire to live honorably among one's fellows. but humanity is not as yet able to rise much higher than it's
 environment. Where ennobling sur-
 roundings are absent those of an- other sort are found and in spite of ] the better instincts evil influences prevail. But we must not forget l that the difficulties of reform are much greater than those of guid- anee.

CONTRACT AWARDED FUR SANTA CRUZ CO.
 HIGHWAY ID STATE

The Santa Cruz highway commits sion has awarded the contracts federal aid project 50 to the state highway department which bid on the work at cost plus $10.
 Contractors DeWard, Cobhan and Holcomb put in bid for this work which was submitted by the Santa Cruz highway commission to Thomas Maddock, state engineer, and after the bid was given careful analysis the commission was advised to accept the contractors bid.
 MT. Maddock. in nis wire to George H. Fielder, chairman of the commits sion, said. Prices bid on Sonite- Patagonia work are as cheap as state can do this work. with the excep- tion of the concrete. Taking into consideration the possibility of acci- dents to employees and flood losses, etc, we believe it best to accept this bid or re-advertise. We believe we could move our outfit to the work from the county line to Fairbanks, thus expediting completion of the entire road"
 Despite this wire, the highway commission advised the department that it preferred having it carry on the construction.
 The highway department has sig nified it's willingness, and forces will begin on the project at once. The project is 13 miles in length and Is a continuation of the 15-mile federal aid project No. 27 from Sonita to the Cochise county line. which is being completed by the highway depart ment
 This 15 miles of work was started in April and the rapidity with which it was built and the quality of the road work combined to make the Santa Cruz highway commission de- sirous of having the department fin | ish the road. Funds will be pro- vided by a county bond issue of s100,000 supplemented by federal aid.

 My Soldier GirIr at Ramona
 The new bill to be presented at the Ramona theater today for a run ci Thursday, Friday and Saturday Is a military farce. bordering some on the melodramatic. It is weh-eon- nected story, dealing with military maids. detectives. cowboys, wine, women and song, lively action and intense interest.
 It would be unfair to thosN who will see it, to divulge too much of the plot and the workings of 1t. but it is promised as a most delightful offering and the feature attraction of the Pioneer Girls engagement For novelty of plot. variety of action, sprightliness of dialogue and tuneful catchy song numbers. no play seen at the Ramona this season can excel My Soldier Girl"
 That Bob Greer knows how to con- struct a musical comedy that never lags and which Contains a laugh in every line has been decidedly proven. He has the knack of knowing what the people want and of producing a comedy of sustaining interest. at the same time keeping the action going on by leaps and bounds and at just
 the right spot throwing in a popular song number.
 The new play is full of really late
 hits and 1t will be a race for honors between Bob Greer, Jack Miller. Caro- lima Brunson. Errin White and Doro- thee Bates. The augmented Pioneer Girls chorus will be seen in some new and novel specialties with some stun ming new costume creations.
