not perceptible in other parts of the
city, visit to the Central fire sta
ton will convince the most skeptical.

OF spring as a horseshoe pitching
outfit in active operation? And all
the accoutrements of the grand old
game are assembled at the fire sta
tion grounds and all members Of the
department are in training to meet
challengers.
The boys at Central station have
revived the game on an extensive
scale Rules and regulations have
been compiled and occupy promi-
nent place in the fire station. The
horeshoes are regulation size and
weight, "a ounces to be exact, and
the stakes comply with Hoyle in ev-
cry respect. All contending pitchers
are requested to abide by the Queens
bury rules.
Fire Chief w. r. Simmons and
Clyde Wilson of Central station are
the present champions. They invite
all comerS. The chief now has a
record of three consecutive ringers

DEucEpLY CLEVER

A young Englisbman was walking
up and down the platform OF coun-
try railroad junction, trying to see a.
car that had a vacant seat He didn't
find it, and. assuming an official air,
he walked up to the last car and an
nounced in stentorian tones: "All
out here; this car isn't gong"
There were ordinations low and
deep form the occupants of the car,
but they all piled out and made their
way to cars ahead. The smile on the
young mans face increased as he
took possession OF a seat and approp-
rated another for his luggage.
"Ah," he murmured, 'it's a grand
thing be born clever! Now / wish
they'd start"
BY and by the station master put
his head in the door: Are you the
smart young man who said this car
wasn't going?"
"Yes," said the clever one, smiling.
'Well," said the station master,
with grin also, lit isn't. The brake
man heard what you said and he un-
coupled It. He thought you were a

OF QUARANTINE LAW

w. A. Meusee, railroad employe
at Yuma, yesterday pleaded guilty TO
the charge of having in his pos
session cotton seed introduced into
the state in violation of the quar-
antine law. He was given the max
imum sentence of six months in Jail
and fined $500.

state entomologist. who instituted the
prosecution, and w. j. Galbraith, at
torney general. who made an in
vestigation of the case and represent
ed the state in the court action at
Yuma yesterday.
This is the first case OF the kind
to be brought in Arizona and followed
the seizure of cotton seed believed to
be infested and shipped in from
Texas. The Importance of the mat
ter was not overestimated by the at
torney generals office according TO
the flood of kilograms from civic
bodies in Arizona and California re-
ceived by Governor Campbell in
which. it was urged that the case be
prosecuted. The violation of the
quarantine law jeopardized the cot

tions, and she has been repeatedly

RIFLE CLUB HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING;
OFFICERS ELECTED

The regular annual meeting of the
Phoenix Rifle club was held at the
city hall on the evening Of Jan. 20.
The following officers. to serve for
the coming year. were elected: Pres
ident. H. II. Howard; vice president,
Luke Henderson; secretary and
treasurer, Thomas Rasmussen; ex-
ecutive officer. Daniel V. Brodhead
The election OF Mr.. Howard as
president was a fitting recognition Of
the valuable service he has rendered
the club as secretary for the past
two years, during which time he has
for the most part acted both as sec
retary and as executive officer.
Various plans were discussed for
making the Phoenix Rifle club more
attractive both to the veteran shoot
ers and to novices who wish to break
into the very interesting game of
high power rifle shooting. Some in
convenience has been caused in the
past from the fact that some other
organizations who use the local rifle
range have failed to do their share
OF keeping the targets in order, and
IL was decided to pick out an entire
set of targets for use of the rifle
club and of the National guard, keep
ing these targets locked up, and leav-
ing another set for the casual shooter
and other organizations.
The principal innovations decided
on for the coming year were, first, to
do more shooting as teams. and less
Individual work; and, second. to have
the experts pay more attention to
the development of new men and do
less shooting themselves. Different
experts will be designated at the va
rious monthly shoots as team cap
tains and coaches, and they in turn
will pick competitive teams who will
shoot for both scores and prizes.
This. it is believed, will be much
more satisfactory to both old and
new members, as It will enable the
latter to learn the game more quick
ly and at the same time give the

Build the High7vay
to fit the climate

The residence of Asphaltic Concrete
makes this type of pavement peculiarly
suitable to the climate of Arizona. The
wide range in temperature between sum-
mer's hottest and winters coldest days
calls for pavement that can expand and
contract without deterioration.
Asphaltic Concrete pavement, being re-
silent, does not crack in cold weather
or buckle in hot weather 1t remains
smooth and true to grade despite climatic
changes.
Asphaltic Concrete's residence is fac
tor in it's great durability and helps keep
maintenance cost to the minimum
The durability of this type of pavement
has been proved by the most valuable of
tests-long and successful service.
The taxpayers of Maricopa County will
profit by adopting Asphaltic Concrete
the type of pavement which fits the eli
mate.
Moreover, Asphaltic Concrete highways
pay dividends in long and successful opera
ton. Their small upkeep costs and long
life save the taxpayers money.

SLAP IN THE FACE
BRINGS REQUEST
To GUST TEACHER

When Mrs. Lotus Young, a school
marin of Hilltop. slapped Mrs. Ell
eanor Kirby in the face at a Christ
mas entertainment at the school, her
conduct in the eyes of Hilltop was
unbecoming and unprofessional. and
such that her teachers certificate
should be revoked.
These We're the comlaints recorded
with the state board of education at
its meeting yesterday when the board
was asked to take action in the mat
ter. According t. the Kirbys and
their friends, neither Mr.. nor Mrs.
Young, who teach there. have the
character. temperament or judgment
TO be employed in their schools.
The little Kirby girl was taken out
of school and taught at home by her
mother early in the fall, but when
the peace on earth and good will
toward men" season arrived she
wanted to take part in the school
festivities. According to the Kirbys
she was sent home, but Mrs. Kirby
nevertheless decided to do her bit in
arranging the event and the young
ster accompanied her to school. II
is alleged that the Youngs gave her
to understand she was not wanted
there and Mrs. Young gave her the
pat that has resulted in a request for
her certificate being revoked.
No action was taken by the board
yesterday. The formal charges were
forwarded to the Youngs who will be
given the opportunity OF presenting
their case at the next board meeting
when the county school superintend-
ent of Cochise county will be asked
to testify in the matter.

HOT LUNCH FOR TWO CENTS

A hot lunch was served the school
children OF Friend, Neb., in the last
school year at an average cost of two
cents day for each child, according
to the Lincoln state Journal. The
usual dishes, which were prepared
and served by the students in the
domestic science department of the
school, We're creamed potatoes, peas,
corn, soup, cocoa, etc
The object of the plan was to pro-
vide every child with at least one hot
dish at noon. At first an effort was
made to have every child bring some
thing to the school, an egg or q po-
tato. TO be prepared, but this plan
proved unsuccessful and the school
board OF that city voted to cover the
expenses of the undertaking. AT the
end of the year it was found that the
total cost averaged 2 cents a day for
each child served.
