Gov. NestOs Asks for Cooperation

"Now that the returns definitely es-
tablish the fact that most Of the in
dependent candidates for state offices
and an independent majority of each
house Of the legislature has been NOM
mated l wish to thank the voters for
this expression of confidence in our
integrity and sincerity of purpose dur
ing the time we have managed the
public's business.
ut shall be my aim and purpose to
continue along the same line and to
prove to the people of the state that
their confidence is not misplaced and
that the campaign stories of the
league workers were false and wholly
without foundation.
81 am sure the administration will
continue to receive the valued coun-
sci and cooperation of all good. citi-
zens of the state in the work of re-
deeming our promises to the people
in re-establishing confidence in our
state, in restoring our credit, in re-
ducing interest rates and in every eff
fort to promote the prosperity and
welfare of our people"

Arne and John johnson of Mount
rail county, were tried last week in
Stanley on charge of manufactur-
ing liquor. Officers found boiler
with small hole in it and some cop
per pipe, on the premises, but no IL
quor. The defendants explained that
they had used the boiler to cook feed
for their hogs and not being able to
watch it continually, placed a pipe in
it, so the lid would not blow off. As
this appeared perfectly reasonable and
simple to the jury, the defendants
were acquitted.

.REDUCT|0NON ORE
 RATES BY SANTA FE

In conformity with the efforts of the several railroads to adjust rates to better the shippers condition, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail way will at once amend its tariffs to provide that the rate on less than car load shipments of ore will be one hun dred thirty per cent of the carload rate. This means marked reduction in rates generally ,and will greatly assist those who are developing the mining industry by making low rate basis on shipments for experimental purposes, and also the small shippers who are exploiting mine leases.
 The ore rate to the smelters the past two years has been prohibitive of small shipments, no ore below $1OO value returning a profit over smelter and freight charges. With a worth while rate on ores we believe that this county could be shipping considerable ore either to Fl Paso or San Fran cisco

NEAR EAST RELIEF
 IS RE-ORCAN|zED

Reorganization of the Near East Relief in Arizona and New Mexico, with the object of consolidating the two state offices into a Southwestern Headquarters, located in Phoenix, has been completed, according to Charles F. Willis, Southwestern director of the relief organization.
 In the future," states MT. Willis Gall the work of the Near East Relief in Arizona and New Mexico will be conducted through our local head quarters, Room 20, Central Building, Phoenix, Ariz. We have felt for some time that the elimination of the New Mexico office, would affect a considerable economy without dimin- ishing the effectiveness of our efforts to reach the people of the Southwest in behalf of the thousands. of home less and starving wanderers in the Near East.
 "The appeal which comes from the countries of Southeastern Europe mas been such as to meet with the hearty support of many interested people m Arizona and New Mexico, and in this state in particular, the response has given Arizona very fair average among the list of states, Americans everywhere have given lberally to this great work, but the need today is greater than ever before. We have alreadv been assured that the cloth ing contributed from this district dur ing the past summer, has replaced the rags which formerally covered the un- dernourished bodies of scores ot ht- tle waifs for whom there is no room in the orphanages.
 'In spite of the efforts of Ameri- cans, the terrible condition in the Near East is becoming more difficult to overcome. Our organization is now maintaining 175 orphanages, 4o clinics and 36 hospitals, and is shel- tering and feeding over 1OO,oOo or nhaned children. There are 226 Near East Relief workers in the stricken districts, and many other American missionaries, teachers, etc., who are assisting in the work.
 "It is gratifying to know tEat not less than a million people are all'e today who would have died had It not been for Near East Relief. It is to save the lives of million more starV- inc Christians that cur local office IS bending it's efforts to serve the people of the Southwest in connection with their contributions to this worthy cause.
 eve have arranged with every bank in the state to act as our agent m 1he collection of funds so that no one neeo exnerience any difficulty in arrang- inp his contribution. Checks made navable to the Near East Relle1' at Phoenix, through any bank, either Tn Arizona or New Mexico, will be sure to reach us."

1922 Car Owners

We honestly wouldn't want to inter- est you in Dayton Pneumatic Tires, both cords and fabrics, if we didn't sincerely feel that they would stand up and deliver even more miles than yo uexpect from them.
 We've been in the tire business a long time and have sold several makes of tires. Take it from us, one of the most disheartening things that can happen to the tire merchant is to have a good customer come in and throw a bad casing on the floor with these words:
 Here's that blooming, blankety, blank tire you sold me-the thing blew out at thousand miles,"
 No sir! Life's too short. We're selling Dayton Tires because we know that they not only deliver every mile in their guarantee-which is 10000 miles for cord, and 7,50O miles for fabric-but also because it is custom ary with them to keep on running for thousands of miles beyond their guar antee.
 They're good tires for us to sell be- cause they're good tires for you to buy.
 Come in and look them over at the Dayton Tire Shop.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE HELD HERE THIS
 WEEK PROVES A BIG SUCCESS

An outstanding feature among the activities of the schools of the Coun- ty was Two Day Teachers Institute held on Monday and Tuesday in the High School Auditorium.
 The State Board of Education un- der the leadership of Miss Elsie Toles, State Superintendent of Public In- struction, has seen the wisdom of abandoning the Joint Institute plan used heretofore, and has adopted the plan of making the Institute a local community affair. Pursuant to this plan the services of two eminent edu- cators were secured, and in company with the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, are visiting the various county seats and holding In- stitutes there.
 Dr. c. O. Hoyt and Dr. Henry S. Curtis, the two out of state educators who accompanied Miss Toles to Mo have County, are men of widely diff ferent fields in educational work. MT. Hoyt is an idealist with ideals that work and the profundity of his thought enriched by the sweetness of his philosophy, won his. auditors at once and carried them with him through all his addresses. He stated that the Schools most important function was to provide conditions un- der which the student might learn to control himself. He emphasized the importance of having children accus- tom themselves to make their own de- cisions even in the most trivial mat ters.
 Dr. Curtis is an educator along health and recreational lines. He stated that play is not given its prop CT place in our educational systems. His principal addresses were on the subject of Education Through Play". He called attention to the fact that Nations have fallen not during their working hours but during their leis- ure hours, and that the survival of our civilization depends upon what we do with our leisure time.
 1 Both Dr.. Hoyt and Dr. Curtis are authors of standard text books cover ing their particular fields.
 Miss Elsie Toles addressed the In- stitute upon two occasions. On Mon day she spoke of the work of the State and National Educational Asso- citations, and called attention to the cooperation due these associations from every teacher and friend of Ed ucation. On Monday evening she spoke on the "Reorganizing of the State Department of Education, the outstanding feature being the removal of the State Board of Education from the influence of politics, and the selec- ,tion of State Superintendent by ap- pointment of that Board. Such a plan would necessitate an amendment to the State Constitution, and such a measure will be placed before the voters of the State in November.
 The sessions were attended by many patrons and friends of education out side the profession and the effect of these meetings will be felt in the community long after the meetings have been forgotten.
 The school officials under whose auspices the Institute was held and the teachers of the County extend an ex- pression of appreciation to all those whose efforts contributed to the suc- cess. of the meetings.
