TRUSTEES ASK FOR

Unless Plans are Revised Cannot
Erect New School Building Out of
100000 Already Provided. Brief
Statement of How Money Has
Been and Will be Used.

The Trustees of the City Schools
opened the bids June 2, for the pro-
posed new school building in Grena.
da. The award was made to the G..
T.. Lockett Lumber Co. at 500, 100000
AS this paper understands, the heat
ing and plumbing will cost approx
mately $S,O00.00, to which should be
added about $10,000.00 or thereabout
Tor equipment. The trustees evident
ly are of the opinion that the building
cannot be erected and equipped with
the money in sight and are therefore
asking for an additional bond issue
OF $15 100000. The notice of the City
Council to issue fifteen thousand dol
lars In bonds at the next regular, or
July meeting, appears in this issue of
The Sentinel, and the bonds will be
issued unless 20 per cent of the
voters of the City of Grenada protest,
in which event an election will have.
to be ordered.
1t will be recalled that an election
was held some three months ago in
Grenada to test the sentiment of the
community as to issuing 100000
in bonds for the purpose of erecting
a new building and the bond issue
carried. Sometime last year, the City
Council issued $25,0OO.OO in bonds
for the proposed new building, thus it
appears that there have been issued
bonds to the amount of $100,000.00
for a new building. Out of this one
hundred thousand dollars approXi-
mately the following expenditures
have been made or it is supposed will
be necessary before the new building
is completed and ready for use:

and changes "and things left out"
usually add something to the cost not
at first anticipated, so The Sentinel
supposes that the additional bond is
sue asked for is meant to cover pro-
bable additional cost.
1t is stated that there is approXi-
mately 100000 now on hand of the
one hundred thousand dollar bond is
sues, the remaining seven thousand
having been spent in changes and i'm

Evangelist Talks
On Old Testament

The study OF the narrations of the
Old Testament prove to be very in
teresting to everyone who attends the
gospel meetings at the Adams school
auditorium. Another audience had
the pleasure of hearing Evangelist
Reedy give an exposition of certain
portions of the things which were
written before" The speaker took
for his theme: Lessons from the
Old Testament" He said in part:
"There are times when the plan of
God seemingly fails. say seeming
ly, because the plan of God cannot
fail. But II is too often true that
men who claim to represent Gods
plain fail to bring it up to the stand
ard, and many take advantage of
the weakened condition of the church
and seek to change the plan instead
of developing their faithfulness of
Gods plan. 1t was Gods plan that
He should bc King of Israel and it
was a perfect plan. Israel was not
faithful to that plan and their un-
faithfulness weakened the nation. 1t
was then that they demanded a king,
one that they could see, and that
they might be like the nations about
them. They changed Gods plan and
substituted one of their own. This
meant their failure as a nation. So
we today must be careful not to act
after the same manner of unbelief
by substituting human ways for the
divinely appointed ways.

Asks Permission
To Rehabilitate
Old Padre Lake

A public hearing in st. Johns will
probably be had on the application
to the satte water department of
John Rothlesberger for permission to
rehabilitate the old Padre lake near
st. Johns. according to an announce
ment made yesterday by w. S. Nor
viel state water commissioner Mr..
Rothlesberger's application asks the
water department for permission to
use the water stored by repairing the
dam in the lake for the purpose of
operating a power plant to furnish
electrical current for the city of st.
Johns and other enterprises.
The Padre Lake, many years ago,
was natural lake, which was dry
part OF the year. Several years
ago, dam was constructed and
water stored in the lake by divert
ing the flood waters of a small
stream into it, but the dam broke and
since then never has been repaired.
The lake has no stream running into
it and water must be diverted into it.
1t lies just below the reservoir which
furnishes the water supply for st.
Johns.
At the same time the matter of
permitting Gustave Becker of
Springerville to place a power plant
on the Becker lake below Springer
vile may be heard, Mr.. Norviel said.
Mr.. Becker has not made formal ap-
plication for the plant. but it is ex-
pected that he will file one. He pro-
poses to furnish electric power to the
town of Springerville. At present this
power is furnished by means of a
gasoline engine and generator.

BIC CROWD HEARS
OP|E READ SPEAK
ON HUMAN NATURE

To those who have poured over
"The Jucklins," "The Kentucky Col
onel," 1.-THE Tennessee Judge" or any
other of the numerous productions
of Opie Read, and even to those who
never heard of his fiction. it was a
rare treat to sit in the presence of
the plain honlely and whimsical old
literary genius, at the Chautauqua
tent last night. Even the dogs
turned out to hear the originality of
this sympathetic being and were re-
warded with a story about their very
selves, which the capacity audience
enjoyed.
Besides being masterful creator
of fiction, Read is a newspaper man
of national repute. From what he
had to say upon the subject of "Hu
man Nature and Politics. which he
illustrated most effectively with
stories from his own life experience,
one would conclude that he has a
rather high regard for human nature
and a lesser respect for the game
of politics. He related story after
story mailing his argument that
liberation of the imagination and
education of the individual along his
own lines of right endeavor, would
lift the standard of thought. Con-

been wrong. The majority never dis
covered America.
He paid magnificent tribute to
Washington, Lincoln. Grover Cleve-
land, all of whom were decried at
certain times in their lives because
folks were too far in the rear to un-
derstand them. In time Woodrow
Wilson would emerge from the fog,
and be honored with a statue. in
justice to his ideals, he said.
Numerous stories of incidents OF
his own life, both pathetic and hu-
morous, bringing tears and then
peals of laughter, but in all cases
against habits of drinking and
chance. He witnessed the hanging
of a man whose mean career began
with betting on a horse race.
A telling close to the lecture was
an original poem in blank verse,
tribute to country and flag. A
throng of people left the tent, lifted
out of the sordid events of life, IL
their remarks were true indications.
Mrs. Read was seen in the audience.
Mr.. Read was preluded by the
Oceanic Quintet, company of young
women OF unusually attractive ap-
pearance, and musical merit.
Today's feature OF the Chautau-
qua program will be "Cappy Ricks,"
at 1880 this evening, a play built
Evening Post. by Kyne. Frequent
| inquiry indicates that the tent Will

minute. The cast will be all pro-
| fessional, from New York.

Arizona National Guard will be held
this year from August 20 to Septem-
Der 80. probably at Douglas, at which
time all the machine gun and rifle

for the time they are on the encamp-
ment unless they shall have enlisted
at least three months previously.

unit, is now open for enlistments and
