NEW MAP ISSUED Of
BAIVKHEAD HIGHWAY

The Bankhead National Highway
association has just issued an official
map of the Bankhead highway, which
starts at Washington, d. c., and ends
at San Diego, Calf This map shows
all of the divisions and rivers and
streams it crosses. and is quite COM
prehensive in every way 1t repre-
sents the work of the association for
the past six years in locating and
building this great transcontinental
highway which can be travelled 365
days in the year.
The government is building over
1900 miles of the road. The United
States war department recognizes
this as being the safest and most di-
rect route from the Pacific to the At
lantic for military purposes, which
was demonstrated by the United
States transcontinental army convoy
that traversed the same in 1920.
This map has been furnished to

'R|FLE CLUB SHOOT
To Be HELD SUNDAY

Attention Of Phoenix Rifle club
members and others who wish to
come out as guests of the club is
called to the change in time of the
next regular shoot, to be held Sunday
on the state rifle range at p. m.
All club members will meet at the
armory. 240 West Jefferson street, at
1880 p. m, and arrangements will be
made then TO take care of anybody
who does not have a car.
A change in the rules has been
made to permit the use of any rifle,
instead OF limiting same to the
Springfield and Krag. as heretofore.
This will give users of both larger
and smaller bore guns a chance to
learn just where their particular
guns shoot, and will be valuable
training to the man who expects later
to use his rifle for game shooting.
Free ammunition will be issued by
the club, but this will be the govern
ment 80 calibre .06 cartridge only
Shooters using other sizes will have
to furnish their own ammunition.
Don't forget that this is an oppor-
tunity for several men who haYe not
hitherto qualified as expert riflemen
to get on the Arizona national match
team and earn n free trip east next
fall. participating in the biggest
sporting event of the year as far as
shooting is concerned.

FIRE DESTROYS ONE OF GIBBS.
LANDS SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Gibsland, Feb. 16.-The, grammar
school building was destroyed by fire
that started in the basement tonight
about 500 o'clock. The loss is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
The high school building on the
same grounds, was saved by strenuous
work by the firemen and citizens, but
was considerably damaged.
About 250 children attended school
in the building which was destroyed.
There will be no interruption in
school work it was stated last night.
1t was planned to assign the grades to
the churches this morning, and classes
will be continued here until other
quarters can be provided.
No one was in the building when
the fire started, so far as known. It
Is reported that the fire started from
the lighting plant in the basement.
The building was of brick and had
eight class-rooms and a large audi.
torium. 1t was erected in 1907.

SHERIFF AND DEPUTIES
CAPTURE FOUR STILLS

Sheriff Currie and his deputies broke
their record for still hunting" the past
week, having captured in all four stills.
Sunday afternoon, Sheriff Currie, &C.
companied by deputy Henderson
Jordan, W. c. Thomas and Y. NJ.
Lyons made a raid on what had been
still, which was located on the farm
Of Lisso L. Cathey in the Driskill neigh
borhood. Those operating it had been
tipped off that the officers were COM
ing however, and succeeded in hiding
the worm, but left GOO gallons of mash
as evidence that it was no ordinary
"two by four" outfit. A search Of the
premises resulted in the finding Of the
boiler, but the worm could not be
located. The boiler was of galvanized
zinc, and was designed for use as
hot water tank in a home.
Mr.. Cathey, on whose place the still
was located was Police member Of
Ward l for several years, and is a we'll
to do farmer. He denies any ,knowl-
edge Of the presence Of the still on his
property No arrests were made in
this raid.
Wednesday night a raid was made
by the sheriff and his deputies on a
sill being operated by three negroes
and a white man on William Sneed's
place near Beulah. The officers
caught the moonshiners in the act Of
making run. There was quantity
Of liquor and mash, besides CON-
plete set of paraphernalia. Tom
Methvin, white, and three negroes, Ed
Albums, Robert Frits and Walter Nc
Neil were arrested and have been re-
leased on bond to appear before the
court on Saturday. They will doubt
less plead guilty.
We understand that two stills have
been captured by special deputy Baker,
near Castro, and turned over to
deputy, A. D. Staples, subject to the
orders Of Sheriff Currie.
This is good WORK on the part Of
our officers and deserves the hearty
commendation Of every citizen who
wants law enforcement worse than
they want moOnshine whiskey. It
shows too that whiskey making has
already become improbable, and those
who are still making 1t had just as well
make up their minds to one Of two
things-either to quit making whiskey
or pay the penalty.

agriculture, manual training, domestic
science, combined with a course in
English. Before the school can meet
the requirements fixed by those at
the head Of the colOred training schools
throughout the State, it will be neces-
sary to make certain additions to their
present building and to purchase some
additional land.
To raise funds to meet these require.
ments, a series Of mass meetings were
held at the school building by the col.
ored people to discuss the advantages
which training school located here
would offer for the advancement Of the
colored boys and girls throughout the
parish. And On Sunday the principal,
B. ]. Crawford, invited a number Of
white citizens Of Arcadia to meet with
them. Among those who responded
were Rev. J. G. Cox, H. L. Runge,
W. D. Goff, ]. P. Harrell, W. ].
Murphy and several others.
Rev. Cox talked at length on the
problems which confronted the negro
Of today, stressing the importance Of
proper home training, and the need Of
the best training that could be given
in their schools. He encouraged them
in their efforts to improve their
school.
H. L. Runge, who has proven his
ability to raise FUNDS Tor worthy pur-
poses Of all kinds, gave them the bene-
fit Of his experience, and we under.
stand the greater part Of the funds
for their present needs, and this
amount, We understand, is to be sup
plemented BY aid from the Department
Of Education as soon as the work al
ready begun has advanced to a point
to meet the approval Of those at the
head Of Colored Training Schools Of
the State.
During the several meetings held
here in the interest Of this work last

the surrounding country responded in

who are behind this movement.
