WHAT THE APPLE TREES HEARD.

The Apple Trees IN their beautiful
pink aud white gowns looked down on
the other SIDE Of the stone wall and
tossed their pretty blossoms as though
quite disgus,cd with what they saw.
The yard on the other side OF the
stone wall WAS not pretty sight.
Tin cans and bits Of broken tree branches
an old shoe or two and rags and pieces
Of paper made n a very untidy place.
1T j. AWFUL, murrnured the talle>t
Apple Tree To think II is right be-
-ide Us, too, when we are in full bloom
| hope no one sees that untidy yard
and thinks II belongs 20 Us. "
II hope not, sister replied the
other tree. Il am really afraid when
the wind blows that the black dust
from that yard may soil our beautiful
blossoms or some Of the bits of r. O.
or paper may he blown up here And
cling 20 our branches.
How Pear Tree can bloom in that
dreadful yard | cannot understand,
the 'allest Apple Tree said IF | had
10 stand in the midst Of all that dis.
order and dust ! sm sure could not

SC0TTSDALE NEWS
OF PAST FEW DAYS
Miller Tract Selected for ScottsdaIe
High School

The largest vote ever cast at
local election was polled Saturday,
when 110 voters expressed their opin-
ion as to the best location for the
proposed high school. Charles Miller
received SO votes for the site he Of
fered. one block north of the present
schools. Three other sites were Of
Tered and they all received a generous
vote by persons interested in locating
the school on them. One of the most
interesting things about the election
was the absence OF any unpleasant
feeling about any OF the tracts. The
locations were all very good and it
was a toss up with most of the voters
which to select. The Miller tract
was selected by most because 1t was
near the other school and would save
money In being close enough so that
some OF the high school teachers
could teach some of the grade sub
jects. such as home economies, agri-
culture, farm shop, etc, and save on
teachers Everybody is back Of the
proposed high school and most of
.hem expressed their opinion for
building a good building with an au-
iftoriun large enough to care for at
east 500 people.
Principal l.. o. DuRoss, President
En9rleS Mlller OF Inc ECHOOl DOdTu,
walter Dom and Guy Loonlis, also
r11ernbers of the school board, spent
Monday visiting the different high
schools OF the valley in order to de-
eide the type Of building they want
to build and the kind of material, so
that they can build cheaply and at
the same time have a. building that
viii be ample for many years and be
beautiful. They will spend several
more days this week visiting high
schools.
The lucky days of the Scottsdale
