Old and New Testament make men
ton of the dog, yet not the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Next to man, points out Mr..
Hawes, the dog ranks highest in in
~telligence, being subject to all the
human passions of love, hatred,
fear, hope, joy, distress courage,
timidity and Jealousy. Man re-
ceives service from many ANIMALS
but the dog is probably the only n
from which he receives pure, volun-
tary friendship. He is the only ami
mai who consumes the same foods
that mar eats.
Chief Use AS A Companion
Congressman Halves thinks the
bulletin he advocates should list and
explain the uses of the dog and he
makes a partial list as a sugges-
ton. The most important use, he
thinks, is that of companion. es-
pecially as hat also includes qua ID
ian. Other uses are as watchdog,
hunting, herding of sheep, cattle and
other creatures. guides for the 5lind,
work such as churning butter OH a
treadmill and similar duties, stage
performing, fire fighting, police
work, rescue work and war. MIR.
Halves has innumerable instances Of
dogs following all these Vocations
with success and profit to their mas
tiers.
The proposed bulletin should
contain a lot of wholesome advice
for me of dogs to the end that
both master and dog will get along
more happily. Some of the prJnci-
pal points which Mr.. Halves thinks
should be included are:
In buying a puppy get one over
three months old but not more than
eighteen months old, unless you
have previously been acquainted ard
friendly with him. Always register
your dogs pedigree.
Feed a puppy frequently but an
old dog only twice a day. Feed
from a pan; never from the ground
or floor. Feed your dog yourself as
this will prove an additional elemen-
of control yer him. Feed a mature
dog morning and evening, the .aeu-
Ter meal in the evening, but a dog
should not be worked Immediately
| after a meal. Do not feed dogs
chicken bones; they injure the ami
mails intestines.
Keep a dogs kennel clean md
dry. Use a leather collar, nevea. a
metal n and chain a dog only
when necessary.
Some of the. bad tricks Of dogs
can be cured readily If you know
how. For instance, one of the bad
habits of farm dogs is to find eggs
and, breaking the shells, suck cut
| the contents. Open an egg, put n
lot of red pepper in it and put it
where the dog will find it. He will
never suck another egg. When dogs
are vicious, 1t nearly always is the
fault of the master. Treated with
intelligence, bad habits will not be
formed.
One of the specially interesting
bits of advice given is never lend
your dog and never borrow one.
Such practice, says Mr.. Halves, is
almost certain to spoil the dog. He
has a vast deal of further advice
and information concerning dogs
which seems to indicate that IL his
suggestion is acted upon. the De-
partment of Agriculture could do no
better than commission Congress-
/ man HAYES to prepare the dog book
whio , he thinks is so badly need
ed.

srrr1,E,rHE SCHOOL QUESTION

1t is time for a showdown on the new school proposition
When the city treasurer flea his supplemental debt statement it
ought to be possible to reach a definite conclusion. The differences
between the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Education over
the right of the city to issue school bonds in excess OF the debt
limit has been settled by the opinion of the attorney general" On
the strength of this opinion the school poas1 as cut its request Tor
= appropriation in half. The question now hrns e On whether
or not the city can issue $25oOoO worth Of bonds without exceed
ing the debt limit.
The people are pretty well agreed that the cnAdren must Dc
,rovidedF with the facilities for securing an education. Even If the
.itv debt at present is too great to permit the issuing of the neces-
! : bonds, it is possible that with the increased valuation for
the past three years and with the retirement of the bonds that
viii fall due this year, the full amount can eventually be issued.
One thing is certain, Friday night ought TO see the end of the
school question, and it ought to be settled in favor of the children

CAPITOL
* JOKES
BY j.. n. TINCHER
q. S. Representative from Kansas.
Seventh District

Many years ago a Kansas couple
bought a farm, on which they paid
down all their savings, giving a
mortgage for the rest of the pur-
chase price.
The land agents commission
amounted to a considerable sum and
the farmers wife objected strenuous
ly to paying it. Crops were bad and
the couple lost the place by fore
closure.
Years passed. Luck changed. The
pair prospered. Finally they bought
another farm. This time the wife
specified in advance that no commits
sion should go to anybody. She
considered it bad luck.
The lawyer who drew up the deed
and mortgage acceded to her re-
quest, and the wife seemed satisfied,
but when she and her husband re-
turned home, she found under the
notarial seal these words:
My commission expires Sept. Is,
1SS-."
And it took the lawyer and her
husband months to convince her that
SO something hadn't been put over on
her.

LIBRARY NOTES

Lincoln walked 20 miles to borrow
book. You have your public library,
which offers you more and better
books than Lincoln ever knew.
Why not use your public library !?
The most recent addition to the IL
brary Is "Spinster of this Parish" by
w. B. Maxwell. 1t is an absorbing
story and holds your interest to the
very last.
Anthony Dyke is picturesque, out
of-doors man, who has hunted wild
beasts in Africa, who was the sole sur
vivor of daring expedition into an
unexplored area of Australia, who has
tramped alone for 1000 miles along
the Andes and who is also an explorer
of note in the Antarctic region. This
big, virile personality bursts into the
life of a young English girl, who is
living in mid-VictGrian atmosphere,
with the effect of an exploding shell.
He has an irresistible appeal for her.
and she-in turn intrigues him. At
ter series of events leading up to a
crisis, told as only Maxwell can pic
ture it, this seemingly ill-assorted
couple defy convention and leave Eng
gand for venturesome expedition in
to the Andes in search of a store of
emeralds. Their expedition is crowd
ed with adventure and peril, and the
story of their great romance is laid
among strange scenes and exciting
events. Competent critics consider
this remarkable novel from the pen
of a writer who has stood at the top
of his profession for years.

Our Ne1U Building
From the Green and Brown.

AS our new high school building has
now reached a time in its construction
when the appearance of the finished
building may be visualized, the read
ers of the Green and Brown will be
interested in some of the general de-
tails of its construction.
In order to have this building ready
for use with the beginning of the
school year next fall it was necessary
to push the work on it to the great
est extent possible all through the
winter. As we have just passed
through an unusually open winter
much more was accomplished than
was at first thought possible. No
one experienced in building, after nu-
merous delays last fall, had any hope
of seeing the roof on the building by
the first of April this year, but we
were all agreeably disappointed. We
may now look forward to the certain
ty that the building will be ready for
delivery on August /, according to
the contract.
By the use of good judgment on the
part of the contractor, N. P. Agren,
and by the exercise of the greatest
care in the handling of materials, it
was found possible to lay brick and
pour concrete under very adverse
circumstances, and in spite of some
very severe weather and unexpected
cold waves only very small amount
of concrete was damaged and none of
the masonry or brickwork suffered in
the slightest. The concrete that was
frozen must, of course, be removed
and replaced but fortunately it carries
no weight and can be done at any
time the builder finds it convenient
to replace it.
The main part of the building is
one hundred and eighty feet long and
seventy-four feet wide, with two full
stories and a basement that is so
much above ground as to constitute a
third story. The auditorium, built as
a wing back of the main part of the
building, is approximately sixty feet
square.
The basement of the main building
contains the heating plant and fuel
storage bins, showers and dressing
rooms used in connection with physi-
cal instruction, space for the manual
arts and home economics departments,
and two extra class rooms. The man
ual arts department has separate
rooms for metal working and wood
working shops as well as lecture
room and tool room and stock room.
The home economics department will
have an equal amount of space divided
into dining room, domestic science
laboratory and sewing room. The two
extra class rooms will be assigned to

department and its work, given brief
ly in weli-chosen words. He made a
most favorable impression.
This is the fifth week of his visit
in the southwest, he said. 1t was the
highest point at which he had enjoyed
the hospitality of Rotary, and he re-
Gently had met with Rotarians below
sea-level.
The trip is for travel, not pleasure.
1t is to get better knowledge of
agriculture in this section of the coun-
try. 1t has been suggested that the
members of the presidents cabinet
should get out oftener, visit around
more and get better acquainted with
conditions. But the last two years,
the first two of the present adminfs-
tration, had been exceedingly busy
ones. The administration came in
during a terrible depression, when
governmental expenses and waste had
been and still were very great. The
administration felt it better for all
hands to stay in Washington, right
on the job, systemizing, cutting ex-
penses, getting methods back to a
sane basis. Not until now have the
department heads felt justified in get
ting out into the field.
On this trip Mr.. Wallace has seen
a cross section of the agricultural in
terests in the southwest that will be
helpful to him, and he believes he
now will be much better able to ham
die with easy understanding the prob
lens affecting us that may come be-
fore him.
What a wide range these problems
take and the diversified activities of
the department of agriculture was
briefly indicated by Mr.. Wallace. The
whole purpose of the department is
one of service and that service is tre-
mendously wide-flung. The routine
cost of running the department is
SAC, zoo, 600 a year. In the various
kinds of cooperative work done the
department spends an additional
$250, 100000 a year. 1t has 10000
employees.
Embraced in this cooperative work
is supervision and administration of
the national forests and the relation
that has to grazing; road improve
ment; county farm agents work;
agricultural experiment stations; ex-
termination of plant, tree and ami
NAL diseases; destruction of predatory
animals and rodents; study of
foreign plants and their importation
and introduction to sections where
their use will be profitable; grading
and inspection of grain; fixing cotton
grades and arbitration of disputes; SUI
pervision of stock yards and packing
houses; supervision of the exchanges
in which grain is bought and sold for
future delivery; inspection of tea;
The Coconino sun., 1923-04-20

girls home, sewing and canning
clubs; boys corn, pig and calf clubs
and hundreds of other activities the
purpose of which is service-service
designed not only to make successful
| farmers and stockmen, but to promote
higher types of citizenship. For that
| is about all we get out of life, the
speaker said-the privilege of being
of service to our fellow men.
The department is not political
Practically all of the men employed
are under civil service. 81 couldn't
tell you the politics of 20 of our 20,-
900 employees" he said "Their use
fulness, not their politics, is the thing
considered"
He expressed pleasure at the high
personnel of the employees of the de-
partment. Very many of them could
do better in other lines Of work, he
said. But they have ideals of service
which seem to per1neate the entire de-
partmnt.
Secretary Wallace said he believes
the worst in the recent agricultural
depression is over. There is gradual
improvement now and though he
doesn't look for any boom, agriculture
is building up and we can all look
forward to the coming year with a
great deal of hope and confidence of
success. Within two or three years
we may expect normal times in agri-
culture.
In Washington, he said, can best be
seen what is happening overseas.
With all the trials and hardships we
have had here during the last two or
three years, we ought to be very
thankful that we have suffered SO
little in comparison with the stricken
countries abroad.

NAL growth for our town and sur
rounding territory.
The auditorium extends into the
main part of the building as far as
the main corridor thus giving more
space than would be indicated by the
outside dimensions of that part of the
building given previously. 1t is pro-
vided with fair-sized stage having
the usual equipment of dressing rooms
and, including the balcony, will seat
between six and seven hundred people.
The central part of the auditorium
floor will be level and provided with
removable seats and will be used for
physical training and social purposes
when necessary Side sairways lead
from the gymnasium floor to the
showers and dressing rooms in the
basement. A projection room is in
cluded where picture machines and
stereopticons may be placed. The main
floor of the auditorium will be Sc by
64 feet, and the stage will be 20 feet
in depth and the same width.
Through agreement with the town
council the high school has been al
lotted what would appear to be suf-

ficient ground to provide a beautiful
campus and furnish space for agricul-
tural demonstration plots in case it is
found desirable to include a course in
agriculture in the curriculum. Ample
room is available for athletic grounds
as well. 1t may not be possible, how
ever, to develop the grounds this
year although as much will be done
as time permits.
1t is the ambition of the board of
trustees to make our High School
the best in Arizona, and Arizona
ranks high in educational matters. As
people begin to realize the need for
education beyond the grades, increas-
ing demands will be made upon the
high schools. The boy or girl today
who receives a high school education
is in approximately the same relative
position as the boy or girl who re-
ceived grammar school education
generation ago for we have advanced

other matters. And the student who
would be able to follow the thought
and progress of our time must first
be well grounded in the fundamentals
of exact science, for the material
progress, upon which our modern civ
ilization is based, is as dependent up
on the researches of the physicist
and chemist as plant life is upon sun
shine and water And the exact, ana
lytical thinking that is necessary to
success in everyday life today is not
the result of "snap" course in high
school or college, but is commonly the
result of mathematical training. An
athlete does not enter a field meet
without long and strenuous prelimin-
ary training and if one is to succeed
In the greater things of life they must
be equally willing to submit them
selves to the mental training neces-
sary before entering the contest.
