Board, to reduce it more than
we were reducing it. and con-
tended for a greater reduction.
The main reason for a greater
reduction was, that farm pro.
duets are much cheaper than
they were a year ago.
For every $l.0O0,0O0 we pay
taxes on with the State rate at
~ cents per hundred. We pay in

farm products we can easily be
taxed too high on real estate.

it proved to contain a small

where he exhibited his find.
This relative. it seems. had been

U. s. DEVELOPING WATER SUPPLY IN NORTHERN ARIZONA RESERVATIONS

Tn the past the department has been seriously handicapped by lack of funds, a condition which prevented them from carrying out suggestions which had been made by the geo. logical survey. Previous to 1916, an expedition under Prof. Herbert E Gregory of Yale had spent six sum- mers in making investigations in this region and preparing data for a pamphlet which appeared in that year.
 Tn this Look Prof. Gregory de- clared that the tapping of artesiar
 water would not be an impossibility in this section, and recommended the sinking of a deep well to test his
 theory A year ago last May the committee on Indian appropriations
 visited here and approved highly O. the work done by the irrigation de pertinent on this reservation unde the direction of A. H. Wamack, fore. man in charge. As a result of thi visit a larger appropriation was SC cured, which permitted the purchas of a larger rig to carry out Prof Gregory's suggestions.
 At a depth of about 500 feet arte- sian water was struck, the flow be- ing sufficient for population of 1000 This water is free from aIkaf
 and the other minerals with which all the spring water .n this country is charged Since the tapping of thif

VADABURC SCHOOL
 HOUSE COMPLETED

GLENDALE, Aug. 1e.-W. IT. Grif- fen. one of the original settlers in the Nadaburg district, was in Glendale Friday and was bubbiing over with enthusiasm over the prospects for the future of Nadaburg. He reported that not only had the contract for new school building beep let. but the building finished already. Two weeks ago Thursday the contract was let to Johnny Howell of Glendale. and in exactly fortnight the structure was completed. The school is a frame building 30 feet square and embodies all the latest innovations for the rural school house. New desks. seats and blackboards, with a plentiful supply of necessary school materials, have been provided. Mrs. Augusta Crozier. recent graduate of the Tempe Normal school. and homesteader in the Nadaburg dis trict, will be the teacher. The school prospects are the maximum number will be about 25. This new school is in District ST.
 Mir. Griffen said that since the re- cent rains the grass was coming up fine and prospects for fall and winter pasture are very good. People living in the Nadaburg section are prepar- ing the land and making ready for planting. This renewed activity in that district will be of interest to residents in the Glendale district who are property owners there

LITTLE PETE ovERTAkEs THE
 WHITE SPOT
BY THORNTON W. sl

Lipperty- -Lipperty-Li scampered Little Pete out Son to the great shadowy Green Meadows with his eyes fast on the white spot which he was sure was his mothers tail. Out here there were no nice little paths cut by his father, Peter Rabbit, and running wasn't as easy as he had thought it would be. Sometimes the meadow grass was so tall and thick that he couldn't run and would lose sight of the twinkling white spot he was trying so hard to catch up with Then when he had crawled through to where the grass was shorter he would see it again and try harder than ever to catch up-
 He had felt very brave when he left the Old Briar Patch. He had said to himself that there wasn't the least bit of danger out on the Green Meadows. But the farther he got the more certain little uneasy feel ing grew. How big the Green Mea- dows were. and how very. very small he was! How terribly lonesome it was out there all alone! He did wish that his wother would sit down and wait for him. But if she should sit down he wouldn't be able to see her tail, which was all he could see of her in the dark. When he rcmem- bered that, he hoped that she wouldn't sit down. because without that to watch he would feel even more lonely and frightened than he did now. The very thought made him catch his breath and try to run faster, although he was getting out of breath now.
 So he kept his eyes fast on that moving white spot and struggled or It vas growing bigger now and Little Pete knew that he was getting near CT to 1t. His courage began to come back a little. It seemed to him that he had been running a long. long time, such long time It was queer that his mother should go so far out on the meadows. It was still more queer that he couldn't see the little white tails of his brother and sisters, for. of course, they must be just te- hind her. And how funny she rani When he had followed her along the little paths through the dear Old Briar Patch her white tail had bob- bed up and down, up and down, but now 1t hardly bobbed at all. But it kept moving, sometimes very fast and sometimes so slowly that he had hard work to make sure that it moved at all. Sometimes it went off to one side and then suddenly would turn and go in the other direction.
 Once 1t seemed to come straight toward him. Little Pete sat down and stared at 1t. It was queer. Yes, sir. It was very queer! ue never had seen his mother run backward, but if she wasn't running backward, how could he see her tail coming toward
