FLAGS IN SCHOOLS
URGED BY CITIZENS
Federation of Associations
o. KS Recommendations of
Educational Committee.

American flags should be provided
in every classroom and on every
school building of the District public
school system, the Federation of Citf-
zens' Associations voted last night at
it's meeting in the board room OF
the District buildinfi. The action was
recorded in adopting recommendation
70 Snowden Ashford, chairman of the
education committee.
The federation at the same time ap-
proved of the committees opinion
that "a more judicious expenditure
of funds" would enable the board OF
education to provide flag for each
of the 200 classrooms and l60 scnool
buildings in Washington.
5000 Available for Flags
The committees recommendations
were made in connection with a re-
port on resolutions submitted TO the
federation Of the Mid-City Cltizens
Association deploring. the lack or
flags in some of the classrooms. The
resolutions pointed out that the col
ors were used in the ceremony OF
saluting the flag.
Mr.. Ashford reported that an ap-
propriation of 5000 was allowed tne
board of education for flags. and as
serted that if this money were used
to better advantage than now. 1t
would be possible to not only equip
every District classroom with nag
but to furnish two large nags Tor
each building.
Approves Appointive Change.
In the course of his report Mr.. Ash
ford referred approvingly to the pro-
posal of the District Commissioners
that they appoint members OF the
board of education, and declared that
such a change In method of appoint
friction known to have existed in the
past between the board Of education
and the Commissioners"
This friction. he indicated. was
exemplif1ed in the virtual taking
over" by the board of education of
the offices of municipal architect and
superintendent of repairs. insofar as
school construction was concerned
and he characterized this alleged
domination by the school board as
an effort on it's part to reach out for
more power"
Adopt Recommendation.
How the board of education has
managed to accomplish this. l do not
know" said Mr.. Ashford, himself for
merly municipal architect. He inti-
mated that tho Commissioners had de-
liberately allowed the invasion" OF
authority in order to satisfy the board
that it could not handle the architects
work.
The educational committees recon-
mendations that the Abbot School
at 5th and l. streets northwest, be
abandoned for educational purposes
because of its having become obso-
lete; that the portable school building
be removed from the Fairgrounds of
the Peabody School, and that the high
school curriculum be not burdened
with a compulsory course in law and
economics. as proposed by one asso-

Small Potatoes and Few In
A Hill.

When will our city find relief
from the one man power which
acts as Judge, jury and the whole
darn courthouse? Ordinances hid
away and never published that
might offend stockmen and send
their trade out of town can be
suppressed and their livestock
roam around town all winter,
but when some malcontant, or
town enemy is to be disciplined,
if he has a valuable cow, or calf,
it is herded into the city pound
even if some poor boy has to be
bribed to do it. A. j. Kellis re-
ports having a valuable mich
cow ruined by being driven into
the pound and left there unmilked
for FIVE days. He is seeking re-
dress and the municipality may
have a damage suit pending. A
few facts on this and similar wee
small potato acts ought to make
some of our city officials feel like
80 cents in a washtub o. suds.

A New Asset for the City

Chandler has a city ordinance
that brings home the bacon. 1t
authorizes search of premises on
information and belief where in
toxicants are kept. or dispensed;
stoppage and search of vehicles
passing thru for same purposes,
and a fine of $500 or six months.
Federal fines of only $50 didn't
seem effective to stop bootleg
ging so municipal ordinance was
framed. It works, too, judging
from fines collected by the city
which heretofore have gone to
the county court.

To Make Homes Attractive.

When you meet any of the city
dads don't be afraid to heckle 'em
a bit about the outrageous price
they are charging fer irrigating
a few square feet of your lot to
wet a few shade or fruit trees,
or raise a few heads of lettuce. A
lot 50x150. at current rates, will
cost $37.5 a month to plant it
and raise a little home garden
truck, or $i3. Is month for 25
fruit trees. Of course, you can't
afford, nor can anyone else.
The railroad gets it's water for
$1.10 for ten thousand gallons
and you would have to pay So. 70
for only 5000 gallons, or combine
with all your neighbors on your
street to use enough to get the
same rate and it is doubtful if
they would allow such an arrange
ment anyhow. You have to get
a lower water rate if you are 60
ing to have gardens.

Gold Strike Continues to I'M
prove Near Vulture.

From the gold specimens COM
ing into Wickenburg this week
one would guess Alright that this
was a gold county. r. Myers Of
the Buckhorn was in town again
on Thursday and brought in some
rare specimen ore that must GO
we'll up into five figures a ton.
1t wasn't from his own mine
either. Itwas from new strike
about two miles from his prop
erty. He and Sharpe, his part
ner, are getting out the mazuma,
judging from the regular ship
ments of bullion that are COM
ing in.
Reports from the Brinkly prop
erty, near the Vulture, continue
encouraging. Many new loca-
tions are made daily, while the
late discovery ssems to be hold
ing out. Our editor has followed
mining excitements for 40 years,
and if these new discoveries keep
up he may be tempted to move
his plant and start a real gold
boom by laying out a townsite
near some of the most lucky
ones.

Why so Many People Come to
Wickenburg and Move
Away.

People come to Wickenburg
because of her wonderful water,
tn e unsurpassed recuperative
qualities of her climate, the
wealth in her mines, and because
near Wickenburg are ideal ranges
for wintering sheep and cattle.
They move away again, first:
Because Wickenburg, to date,
has not offered the full fouF~ years
high school course.
Second: Many household ne
cessities are unreasonably priced.
Third: Sanitary methods are
not used in disposal of tin cans
and rubbish, neither are swilIs
properly disinfected. screened,
and guarded against becoming
breeding places for mosquitoes
and diseases.
Fourth: It takes five-dollar Of
fers to get suggestions for civic
betterment. C.. B. H.
Several other letters might be
published and for sake of those
too timid to give true names, we
stipulate nom de plume will be
admissible in lieu of real name
which should accompany the ar
ticle competing for the SIS prize.

Personal Mention.

Mrs. Paul Macker and her two
sons, Kenneth and Gordon, along
with Mrs. B. Rogers and Mr..
Clayton of Denver, left by auto
for Los Angeles on Monday.
Mrs. Macker's departure will be
much regretted by many Wicken-
burg people, among whom she
has been an apt and energetic
moving spirit in public endeavor.
AS a leader in community well
fare, Mrs. Macker was one of
the most fervent and inspired
workers among the Catholic
Ladies, who have accomplished
so much for the W,ckenburg
Catholic church. which is appre-
ciated by all. We regret to an
nounce in this connection that
Mr.. Macker also expects to fol-
low in few weeks, but the de-
claration that they will return in
August should counterbalance
their friends regrets at their
short absen :e.

Silurianism must give way to en-
ergy so that new stores and new
enterprises may come in. The
coming in of homeseekers must
be encouraged. Every new fam.
lily that settles here increases
trade and the valuation of every
piece of property in the town.
Competition will encourage trade
and be a strong factor in holding
permanent residents.

The Grounding Superstition.

Education and scientific in
vestiGation keep spreading in
:ellieenee among the people, and yet
primitive ideas linger in the mind of
the race for many generations. One
such rotion is the quaint old super
stition about the grounding, that
the spring weather can be foretold
from. the results of his annual ex-
cursion from MS lair on February 2.
This old notion goes far back Of
modern history, and is the. heritage
of Il time before scientific discovery.
While modern knowledge laughts
at oil saws like the grorndhog story
and considers them joke, yet they
represent the cropping efforts of
primitive peoples to learn the facts of
life as seen in the world about them.
People had sharper eyes then, and
could detect many indications that
would be hidden to the folks of to-
day. They over-estimated the abili-
~ OF the grounding to forecast the
weather Of early spring, but they
were keen observers of the external
world and knew more about nature
than the town ored populations of
present times.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
b 6. ". STRAIfS
President Of American Society for Thrift

Those who practice thrift viii
never TAIL entirely; they may not at
tain the heights, but they never viii
reach the depths.
No one, at the beginning of life,
ever expects 20 fail. The lamp Of
hope burns brightly in youth. But
hope alone cannot bring success.
There must be concrete action along
right lines. Steadily, step by step,
the desired ends are attained Where
there IS persistent effort with free
dom from wrongful methods of con-
duet and living, there can be no
such thing as ultimate failure.
And it is because the practices Of
thrift keep one constantly within the
bounds Of prudent living, that this
plan of life is the best safeguard
against failure
In broad and general way. moral
soundness, as well as economic
stability, is the inevitable accompani-
ment Of thrift practice.
Thrift is character tonic. 1t
develops the will and strengthens the
moral fibre Through it one is able
to forego those habits of life that are
harmful.
Thrift equips US for the temta-
tons as well as for the vicissitudes
of life.
No man can practice thrift with
out being a better citizen as well as
more Independent one.
t is these aspects of thrift which
should appeal strongly to parents
and to those who are engaged in
educational duties. Let us send
forth our young men and our young
women into the world with a
thorough appreciation of the moral
as well as the material values of
thrift. After all, success in life is
not to be wholly measured by materi-
al standards.
Learn the value of thrift. No
better safeguard against failure can
be provided than such an equipment
