HELEN L. BROWN NEW PRES.
 OF ARIZONA TEACHERS

Miss Helen L. Brown of Tomh-
 stone, county school superintendent ! of Cochise county was recently eiec- | ted president of Arizona State Teach CTS association for the coming year. She defeated A. l.. Jones of Phoenix, l superintendent for this county, by a margin of 21 votes.
 There was no other contest. Mrs. Ward A. Wheeler of Prescott was the only nominee for secretary, and was duly elected. The same held true for Glen s. Perkins of Tucson, who becomes treasurer of the association.
 The date and place of the next meeting was left to the discretion of the three officers named. There was some talk of shifting the date to the Christmas holiday period.
 Most of the delegates left Phoenix last night for their homes in various parts of the state.
 In point of numbers, and in the percentage of attendance at both general sessions and sectional meet ings, the convention this year was the best in the history of the association. In addition the caliber of the visiting educators was greater than ever be- fore. pr. J. J. Tigert, U. s. Com missioner of Education; Dr. Charles H. Judd of the University of Chicago; Prof. Milford Aiken, of the Univer- sity of California; Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, head of the commission of illitertcy in the United States, Prof. c. G. Sargent, head of vocational edu- cation in Colorado and a leading authority on rural school work, Presi- dent Cloyd H. Marvin, of the Univer- sity of Arizona; Prof. Elizabeth of Los Angeles; Prof. A. N. | Palmer, author of the Palmer meth l cd" of penmanship; and other nota- bles in the field of education attend ed and spoke many times during the 1 course of the convention.
 The meeting was credit to the efforts of President A. O. Neal of Secretary A. L. Jones, of Phoenix; and Treasurer J. O. Mullen, of Jerome; the retiring officers.

MAKE GOOD ON PINTO BEAN

Two Red Lake farmers have made good this year on the Pinto Bean. They are c. c. Thomasson and J. M Miller, of Red Lake Valley. Mir. Thomasson planted 13 acres and MT. Miller 5. The yield was heavy and the price is good. They figure that their bean crop cleared them approx imately eighty dollars to the acre. Even at that they had considerable loss in the field due to delay in pro curing harvester. They now have both the harvester and the thresher and they expect to put in larger acreage next year to still better ad- vantage. The Pinto Bean is very popular in this section of the country so that the men have had little difficult ty in disposing of their crop at Sc. a pound. It is probable that fully a hundred acres of these beans will be planted in Red Lake Valley next season.

H. 5. FOOT BALL
 SEASON CLOSED
Held Flagstaff High to 12 to 6 Score
 in Second and Final Game of

E1eio r Fidgstah High to 1Z to 6 Score
 in Second and Final Game of
 May it be recorded here that the first season of football in the annals of Williams High School, though brief proved beneficial to the boys and was fairly successful None are suffer ing from injuries, there is no great financial deficit; the games have brought closer relationship between the boys of the two teams and the
 morale of the local student body has been improved by the participation in the new sport.
 The game last Saturday at Flag staff was anybody's game until the final whistle. In the first quarter Raymond Rupe scooped a tumble and sprinted ninety two yards for touch down. In the second quarter Elmer son tied the score and in the fourth and last quarter added another six to the score. Neither side succeeded in making their point after touch down, close, the ball striking the bar and bounding back.
 Public spirited citizens who made the trip and carried some of the play CTS were: Messrs Hamilton, Griffith, Wilborn, Poison, Duffield, Britt, and Bobby Burns.
 Doctor Mackey of Flagstaff ref creed in his usual capable manner Never in the history of the two schools has there been such good feel ing between the boys of Emerson and Williams. The score of a game is soon forgotten but that spirit of sportsmanship, fairness, respect for the privilege and rights of others, the ability to take punishment unfinch- ingly, subduing an individual desire for the benefit of the team-an of these, taught by football, remain through life as a permanent part of a players character. And if you could have heard the complimentary passed by the players on botA sides after the game you would have agreed that the present season had taught all players far more than mere Fundamentals of technique in foot oall.

Read the Story of Peat. .

The United States contains 12,OOO square miles of unused peat land, an
 area more than 10 times that of Rhode Island, capable of yielding If
 billion tons of fuel at a cost of S1.5O to $5 ton, according to compre- hensive bulletin on the subject just issued by the United States Geologi- cal Survey. The deposits are on the surface and lie in the New Eng land, Atlantic Coast, and Great Lake States, most of them in regions re- mote from coal mines. This bulletin which is the most exhaustive Ameri- years for its preparation, points out the location of thousands of deposits, owned by thousands of farmers and other landowners.
 Fifty million tons of peat is used annually as fuel in Europe. Peat is suitable also for use as a fertilizer and in promoting the intensive growth of truck crops, both in green houses and in open fields. Manu- features of commercial fertilizers are paying as much as S1O ton for good peat. The present output is about 100000 tons annually. In some parts of the country the yearly pro- ceeds from the intensive cultivation of peat and much soil for lettuce, celery, and onions amount to more than $500 an acre.
 Those who own or are interested in deposits of peat or muck may ob- tain free copies of the bulletin by addressing the U. s. Geological Sur vey, Washington, D. c. It was pre- l pared by c. c. Osborn and is publish 1 ed as the Geological Surveys Bulletin ' 728, entitled .'The Occurrence and Uses of Peat in the United States.

 It is said that enthusiasm is lamp filled, trimmed and brightly burning, and that excitement is lamp ex- ploded. But those who attended Sunday School last Sunday found 8 school brim full of enthusiasm but no excitement 146 were present with an offering of $11.OO, and to add to what has already been offered to the winning class, Jerry Lee started something, when Monday morning he sent word that he would add five pound box of chocolates. By noon it had reached the ears of Mir. Kirwin and out of his kindness he contributed a similar gift, so it looks as though the winners would be we'll fed. We desire to thank these merchants in ad- vance for their kindness and interest in the rivalry between the competing classes.

Sunshine Varies Widely In Amount With Seasons.

In Amount With Seasons.
 1 The amount of sunshine possible in
 any locality varies widely with the
 seasons in middle and high attitudes. says the Weather Bureau of the United States Department of Agricul ture. Further variations are caused by the conditions of the sky locally in
 respect to clouds or fog. During the
 season of the longest days of the
 year the sun rises along the central
 northern border of the United States
 about one hour earlier than in the
 exereme south, but this condition is
 reversed during the shortest days.
 In the exereme southern portion of
 the United States the shortest day or
 the year is only about three hours
 shorter than the longest day, but in the extreme northern part there is difference of about eight hours, reck- oning from sunrise to sunset.
 The fewest hours of sunshine in summer are found along the north Pacific coast. Summer sunhsine east of the Mississippi averages less than 10 hours day, but except along the Pacific coast and in the extreme northern Great Plains the daily aver ages to the west of the Mississippi; generally exceed 10 hours. The maximum amount for the summer as a whole occurs over the western por- ton of the plateau and in the Great Valley of California, where the sun shines nearly IA hours a day with a1- most continually cloudless skies. This is about 95 per cent of the possible of sunshine.
 Cloudy weather in winter in the Lake region, the Ohio Valley, and the Mountain districts, as reduces the winter sunshine to two | and one-half or three hours daily average, which is from 35 to 40 per | cent of the possible amount. The, ern Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and | southeastern California, where the averages for the December 5o February period range mostly from seven and one-half to eight ! hours a day. The percentage of sunshine is high also in this season in the central Great Plains area, where the averages exceed six hours daily. They are generally between five and six hours per day in the South Allan -ic and Gulf States, but somewhat higher in the Florida Peninsula.

 Der Tuesday morning after short

 pastures in his Essex. The robber,

 Ia bronch.
 Passenger train number eight was tied up a short distance west of Will 1iams Tuesday morning due to the de- railment of several cars in a freight train ahead. The brakeman ran back to flag any trains in the rear and while several hundred yards from his train saw man enter the rear coach, a sleeper. Knowing the man had no business in the car he hesitated between two duties, to remain where .he was to flag oncoming trains, and to investigate what the intruder was up to in the coach He walked to- ward the sleeper while listening for possible train in the rear. When he was about fifty yards from the rear coach, the man appeared again with suitcase in his hand and set off across the field. The brakeman yell ed at him to drop the suitcase but the thief responded by increasing his speed. The brakeman started in pursuit but stopped after short run and returned to his position as flag man.
 Howard Greening, school boy from Supai on his way to school, pass ed the brakeman a few minutes later and was informed of the robbery and told to look up an officer as soon as he reached town The boy did so and found Bobby Burns to whom he told of the robbery.
 Bobby mounted his Essex and set out in hot pursuit. He sighted the robber about a mile from town in a field and set out in pursuit. After i a rough chase across fields. in which ! the Essex suffered a broken spring, to town. The brakeman identified | the robber who proved to be Nestor Apodaca. The suit case proved to be the property of W. A. Mathews, of Needles, California, and was valued at forty-eight dollars. Apodaca went through the sleeper ransacking it but succeeded in finding no valu- ables- The hour being early most of the sleepers were not yet awake He was unarmed when apprehended and had not used a gun on the oc- cupants of the sleeper.
 Apodaca was given a preliminary bearing before Justice McDougall on Wednesday. He was bound over to the superior court on charge of burglary.
