given to Mrs. A. l.. Porter on Sun
day afternoon, March 10, at her home
on South Robson street. Mesa. The
occasion was her SSth birthday.

and eighth year she, as usual. in
sisted on preparing most of the edi-
bles for her guests, and a more sump-
tous spread to which the guests were
seated is seldom seen. Chicken and
many other good things were there,
but the pies and cake and other
dainties were so delicious that sam
pies were allowed to be carried away
by the delighted guests to others. and
to the skill of Mrs Porter in the art
of cake making.
Mrs. Porter and her husband and
family were among the very early
pioneers who braved the rigors of
an untamed desert, settling in the
Phoenix section Of the valley in 1876,
a year prior to that in which Mesa
was settled. They operated a farm
northwest of Phoenix.
For some years they remained on
the north side and finally purchased
a ranch southwest of Mesa where for
the past 25 years she has lived, with
the exception of the past several
years when she made her home with
her son. o. L. Porter, at the present
address in Mesa. n
The occasion OF the Ssth birthday
was enlivened with "reminiscences and
music and song. Miss Leona Pom
eroy and her string orchestra de-
lighted those assembled with sew
eral numbers. and solos were sung
by Peter Larson and Mrs. Matilda
Pomeroy. herself in her S7th year.

were present: Mrs. and Mrs. Aid
ridge, Mrs Sarah Pomeroy. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cousins, Mr.. and Mrs. Larson
and son Arthur. and o. L. Porter and

INFORMATION GIVEN
Of THE STATE LANDS
OFFERED FOR SALE

So that the general public may
thoroughly understand the matter
and thus be induced to purchase the
state lands offered for sale by Ru-
dolph Kuchler, state land commits
sioner. in an advertisement printed
recently in The Republican and other
papers of the state, w. J. Galbraith,
attorney general, has given the fol-
lowing information concerning the
lands offered for sale. The infor1na
ton. Mr.. Galbraith said. refers more
particularly to the sale OF state lands
where there is an appraised value of
improvements on the land offered.
There seems to be widespread
lack OF information on the part of the
general public, Mr.. Galbraith said, as
to what is meant by this term. and
he offers the following information
in hope that the public will more
clearly understand and also to stin-
ulate competition among the buyers
so that the states income may be
further increased from the sales OF
the lands.
"Our law" Mr.. Calbraith said,
'contemplates two instances of these
kinds OF land. both OF which arise
from the fact that there was a form
er lease of the land to some individ-
ual. In the first instance, while the
individual was enjoying the fruits of
his lease. he spent money in the way
of permanent improvements on the
land leased. At the expiration OF his
lease, bids are again asked on the
land and IL the original lessee does
not become entitled TO a new lease,
his successor who has out-bid him
in the competition for the land. must
then pay for the permanent inn
provements the original lessee in
stalled.
The other instance is where, un-
der a lease, one has constructed per-
manent improvements on the land,
and thereafter the land is put up for
sale to the highest bidder In this
event. if the original lessee who built
the improvements is not the success
full purchaser, then the successful
buyer must reimburse the first man
for the reasonable value OF the per-
manent improvements
'In other words, the policy Of the
law appears to be to encourage the
holders of leases of public lands to
invest their money in permanently
the land. In this way the
land become more valuable to the
StdJc, anu mas a StSdISI SdA ulilS CD
pacity for the state.
'On the other hand. the man who
can expend money in permanent i'm
provements is adequately protected,
in the event that. should he ultimate
ly lose the land, he Will be reimbursed
the reasonable value of these i'm
provements. There is practically no
opportunity for any excessive pad
ding of the value of the improve
ments. A purchaser merely pays in
fact for a reasonable value.
"The law governing this procedure
is found on page 154, chapter 70. Ses-
sion Laws of 1921. and pages "a and
80, chapter of the Second Special
Session of the 1916 Session Laws"
The sale of state lands win be held

Although Washington and Lee
was the winner of the South Atlantic
meet last year, Virginia will have n
number of strong men back from

probable that faster team will be
necessary to win the meet this year.

JAMES WELLS

These smaller concerns employ up

COUNTY NOW LEADS

PUPILS ENROLLED
County Has Advantage of
Better Teachers, Better
Equipment, Better Super
vision, and More Carefully
Planned Courses, Writer
Declares

According to writer in Craw-
ford's Weekly, the schools Of Wise
county are second to none in the
state. Bnsing his article on re-
Gently issued statistical report deal
ing with fully accredited public high
schools in Virginia he makes some
interesting comparisons between
Wise county schools and those Of
other counties of the state.
Definite Standard,
"Ail accredited high Schools" the
article says. "nre required to meet
certain definite standards in respect
to course of study, teaching force.
equipment, length of term and stan
dards in the elementary schools
which high schools, not accredited.
do not attain.
''rhe accredited schools. therefore,
make up the best type Of schools II
the state.
Leaving out the cities, there are
267 such schools, in the towns and
rural districts in the whole state.
Wise county has six such schools.
"There are ten in Augusta coun-
ty; nine in Accomac; nine in Lou
ioun; Northampton, Rockingham,
Albemarle. Mecklcnburg, Pittsyl-
vanin have six cnch. No other coup-
ty has 50 many. Four counties have
no accredited high school at all.
County Lead,
''ln the number of pupils enrolled
in the high schools. Wise county
leads the state. The six schools Of
the county enrolled n total of 7l5
high school pupils Inst year. Norfolk
county is second. with G54 pupils.
Only four cities in the state had lar
ger high schools than Wise county.
The elementary schools conduct
ed in connection with these accredit.
ed high schools form, presumably a
distinctly superior class. They have
the advantage OF better teachers,
better equipment, better supervision,
more carefully course of study, and
longer term, than the average
schools of the state. The elementa-
~ schools connected with accredited
high schools in Wise county enroll
ed 1855 pupils last year. Our clos
est competitor in the state was Au-
gus;a county. with 2696 pupils.
The next two nearest, Norfolk and
