A. r., KLEINDIENST NAMED
DELEGATION SECRETARY

A. R. Kleindienst was named sec
retarv and George V. Hays of Will
cox was named chairman Of the Ar1-
IONA delegation to the American Le-
gion convention at San Francisco in
october, at a conference between
Commander Southworth Of Prescott
and Adjutant Osborne of Phoenix
Friday.
Both appointees have signiffed that
they will attend the convention in
their official capacities.
Hays is a prominent leader OF the
Legion forces in the south of the
state and was a candidate last June
for state commander He heads the
delegation as it's chairman and floor
leader and by his sagacity and exc
cutive ability, is in position to
materially assist Arizona in the ma
tionaI convention. Mr.. Kleindienst
who will assist Mr. Hays in handling
the affairs of the delegation, is one
of the boosters of the local legion;
and the Mail is sure that the chair
man will have an able assistant in
our postmaster.
Arizona named nine delegates and
twelve alternates at the convention
held in Flagstaff last June. At that
time it was not known how many

the famous and obscure.
Long before noon most of the
would-be lookers-on were climbing
to the top of the steep cliff where
they purchased reserved seats or
standing room at $1.0O per. Follow
ing this they proceeded to make their
title more secure by the ancient
doctrine of "Squatter's Sovereignty
so they planted themselves upon their
chosen spot and proceeded on their
policy of "Watchful Waiting.
The hours passed and the crowd
grew, and after the observers swell
tering in the hot sun for many hours
the dramatic moment finally came
at o'clock.
The vari-colored participants made
their entrance from the south. They
were not encountered by any super
f1uous wearing apparel. Many beads
and green twigs adorned them, and
paint of various cOlOrs had been CO.
piously applied to various parts of
their anatomies. After marchoing
around for sometime and concluding
the musical part of the program, the
snakes were brought forth. Prob
ably half of them were rattlers. They
were held in the mouths and in the
hands of the dancers, who exhibited
no signs of fear. These deadly rep
tiles were handled about as we would
hanlle a pet cat or rabbit. At inter
vals they were thrown upon the
ground and picked up again. Several
of the dancers were seen to have
been bitten, but thy continued the
dance was apparently no concern.
After about thirty minutes cere-
mony the dancers gathered the snakes
in handfuls, and running to the four
points of the compass turned them
loose. Immediately following this the
crowd dispersed and the Snake Dance
for 1923 was over.

WEIRD SNAKE DANCE ATTENDED
BY PEOPLE FROM ENTIRE nation

The annual Snake Dance is over,
and Hopi-land has put off it's festive
robes and settled down to its origin
al humdrum life.
One of the most distinctive facts
that looms up in the history of every
race and nation is that people in
stinctively turn to the worship of
God.
Be it the savage of Africa, the In
dian of the Arizona desert, or the
most advanced intellectuals of our
age, man has ever recognized a pow
er greater than himself, and has
sought to place himself in harmony
with that power. This inherent
longing within the human soul has
found expression in various forms.
Out of it many ceremonies have
grown up. One of the most weird,
unique and famous of these ceremo-
nies is the Hopi Snake Dance.
People journey across the cont1n-
ent to see this relic of Indian sava-
gerry, and though the ceremony has
sacred meaning to the Indians,
many observers of it share the be-
lief that it is a degrading custom
which is a distinct hindrance to the
civilizing process.
The Hopis seem to regard the
snakes as sacred. and through them
they hope to make their petitions
known to their God Each part of
the ceremony, which is carried out
with ritualistic certainty, has un-
doubtedly advanced through periods
of evolution to its present stage.
Caravans of cars were journeying
across the desert to the ancient city

MOON TO ECLIPSE THE sun
ON SEPTEMBER 10; SCIENTISTS
TO Study SKY PHENOMENA
Get your smoked glass ready.

Get your smoked glass ready.
You will have the opportunity of
seeing the silvery moon partially
eclipse the golden and blazing sun
On September 10. If you happen to
be in Mexico at that time you will
see the moon completely outshine
the sun even in the day time.
The moon will start to eclipse the
sun at about 12:40, will be 90 per
cent complete at 2:O6, and will end
at 3:241a Winslow time.
Although Arizona is not in the
path of complete eclipse, it will be
we'll worth your time to take a few
squints at these heavenly bodies
when they pass each other. Better
still smoke a piece of glass and
avoid injury to your eyes. In fact
no one should look at the eclipse
without using a smoked glass, over
exposed and developed kodak mega
tive, or colored glasses.
The moon and the sun look to be
about the same siZe but of course
they are not. The moon is about
2100 miles in diameter while the sun
has diameter of 100000 miles.
Although the sun is 400 times larger,
it is also 400 times as far away. The
moon goes around the earth at an
average distance of 100000 miles;
the earth revolves around the sun
at distance of 93,000,000 miles
away.
If the weather is clear, with only
10 percent of the suns light showing
in this vicinity, it may be possible
to see the brilliant planet Venus,
which will be in the sky short
distance west of the sun. 1t now
rises a little while before the sun
and is conspicuous object in the
early morning sky. A little more
darkening of the sun would also
show the planet Mercury a little east
of the sun, while in the totality belt,
Saturn, the ringed planet, will be a

FIVE MEN CHARGED
WITH CRUEL crime

Arraigned in the Justice Of the
Peace court, Tuesday afternoon, Joe
Garcia, Willie Rodarte, Ricardo, Tru-
jillo, Sam Duran and Luiz Otero
were charge with the murder of
Emma MOntoya on the complaint Of
J. E. Walker.
Waving preliminary examination
the defendants we're admitted to bail
in the sum of $4,000 each, which thew
were unable to furnish. They were
committed to the custody of Sheriff
Divelbess, who took Joe Garcia, Will
lie Rodarte, and Luiz Otero to Hol-
brook. Ricardo Trujillo and Sam
Duran are lodged in the city jail.
Manuel Chavez, Jesus Ruiz and
VictOrio Gonzales, who were also
mentioned in the complaint, have
not been apprehended. When they
are caught, it is likely that charges
of murder will also be preferred
against them.
Emma MOntoya, who was buried
August %, died as result OF
drunken carousal on August 5 in
which a number of persons were in
volved The coroner's jury, impan-
eled to investigate her death, return
ed a verdict that she came to her
death from violent treatment at the
hands of unknown parties on or
about the twentieth day of August.
The defendants were bound over

almost a complete mystery to inves-

be seen except during the few Sec

the moon, and then only over a very
small portion of the earth's surface.
Observation of it is confined to such

School begins Monday morning
September 3. All high school stud
ents should report to the High School
Saturday afternoon for final regis
tration. All grade students as well
as high school students are to report
Monday morning to their classes for
enrollments with their teachers, for
books and assignments. AS soon as
these things are attended to holiday
will be declared for the rest of the
day. Everything should be in read
mess for work on Tuesday morning.
Children who are five years old by
September will be admitted to the
kindergarten. Those who will be
five by the end of the first semester
will be admitted for the second SEM
ester with the understanding that
they remain in the Kindergarten the
following year.
If children are admitted to the
first grade before they are six, it has
been found, with few exceptions, i'm
possible for them to do the work.
This either means retention in the
same grade for two years or lowering
the standards throughout the entire
school system. The age for entrance
must be fixed some where. After
going over the matter thoroughly the
school authorities feel the above ar
rangement is best for all concerned.
Parents will relieve the teachers of
embarrassment if they will bring or
send only those children who can
meet the above requirements.
