NORMAL HOME COMING
BIG SUCCESS WITH LOTS
OF PEP AND ENTHUSIASM

The first annual home coming of
the Normal school was great sue
cess from beginning to end. The pep
rally Friday evening started things
off with a bang The school and its
friends gathered around large bon
fire in front of the campus about 1880,
and from then until after 1000, the
air was filled with cheers, songs and
yells. After songs and dances ON the
campus, the gang paraded down town
where the pep rally proper was held.
A number of Navajo Indians who
had just come in from the nine days
dance at the Gap, gave dance in the
street and later danced again around
the bonfire Ray Sawhill, manager Of
the Phoenix football team, spoke a
few words to the people, and Chair
man +. G. Osborne of the Normal ath-
letic council gave q short speech.
Having encircled the main business
block the students went to the depot
where they welcomed the incoming
visitors from Phoenix. After return
ing to the bonfire, more speeches,
yells and songs were in order. Later
hot chocolate was served in the cafe
terra at the dining hall.
Excitement reigned Saturday morn
ing, with everybody preparing for the
big hobo parade. Lunch was served
at II 80 so that everyone could get to
the parade, which left the campus at
/ o'clock. The high school Juniors had
a float portraying the new arrivals
at Normal as the mere infants they
are. One of our patient southwestern
bQrros represented the speed of Phoe-
nix The faculty were out in their
best and rode in the school lumber
wagon with band of their own. A
mixed band rode in the school truck,
and Barney Google with Sunshine and
Rudy was initiated very well by Nor
NAL seniors. Cheerleader Ernest
Hartz portrayed the trampiest of ho-
bos and was one of the chief leaders
of the whole program. Having pa
raded down town they returned to the
school, arriving at McMullen fielu

MRS. HENSENG SOON TO
REBUILD BURNED AREA

/
Mrs. Marie Hensing is having all
of the rubbish left by the fire that
partially destroyed her mercantile
building at Leroux and Railroad
cleaned away and will soon begin re-
building. She plans making the
Estructure modern in every way and
has in mind many improvements to
that end.
Instead of five store rooms, as for
merly, it is likely there will be six in
the new building. With the elimina>
ton of the space lost before in the
Ninclined driveway into the building
from the north end, there will be a
larger average floor space for six
stores than there was before for five.
The building originally was con-
structed so that a second story could
later be added. Mrs. Hensing also has
that in mind, but will make it only one
story for the present.
The walls are in good shape and
much of the floor studding is as
good as ever, so that rebuilding will
not take more than a few weeks once
it is started. One of the largest ex-
pense items will be for plate glass. the

CASTOR Aubineau, son of Mrs Hem

and he and his mother made the
plans for rebuilding. He returned to

C. d. Richardson is opening up for
business at 5 North Leroux street,
across the street from the burned
building. Nickles, the tailor who oc-
cupied that room, is moving to two
rooms up stairs in the Mayflower
building.
Mrs. Mahoney, whose French
Beauty Parlor was burned out, win
open new shop in the spring, in the
meantime doing her work at the
homes Of her patrons. Her husband,
James Mahoney, whose Turquoise Tea
Room was also burned, has gone out
Of business and now is working for
the Standard Oil company. 1t is re-
ported that the Akers grocery store
has also discontinued business. Mrs.
Longfellow's Art and Needle shop has
been moved to her new Leroux street
location. C. C. Schwarz, the tailor is
locating in a room in the Christian
church building on North Beaver.
The insurance adjustor spent several
days here last week and, it is be-
lieVed, the adjustments were satisfac-
tory to all concerned.

Staying OF KAIBAB DEER
RESENTED By ARIZONA

A clash between state and federal
authority has occurred on the question
Of the disposition Of the alleged ex-
cess of deer on the Kaibab national
forest, in northern Arizona. Acting on
authority Of Governor Hunt, a sher-
mf's posse has taken the field with
orders to arrest any one who comes
from the forest area with deer car
cass. The forest service, in order to
decrease the number Of deer, fer
which there is said to- be an insuffi-
cient amount Of browse on the forest
lands, has recently announced that it
would issue special permits to hunt
saving the herd from starvation dur
ing the winter.
Arizonans have generally taken the
part of the deer IN this controversy
and the governors action will prob
ably find general support, but it is
regretabe that matters should come
to a clash, as between the state and
federal government. However, it
may result in some compromise action
that will be less summary than
slaughter.
We think that the forest service
sholld have given more consideration
to the plan for the driving Of part
of the herd to other forest lands.
When the plan was suggested to
Washington, it was rejected as inn
practical, but Arizonans who are fa-
miliar with the Kaibab section are
confident that the deer could be
driven across the canyon onto other
lands, and certainly their opinions are
worth more than those Of the forest
service at Washington.
The service should have at least
cooperated with the state to the ex-
tent to giving the state an opportun-
ity to show that its plan was prac-
ticable, and it had already entered
into a contract with driver for
crossing some of the deer to other
forest lands.
Needless slaughter of any Kaibab
deer viii be resented by the people of
Arizona.-Tdcson Citizen.

BISHOP ATWOOD BROADCAST
ING TALK ON RED CROSS

Bishop j. w. Atwood will broadcast

KFAD, Macarthur Brothers, Phoenix.
tomorrow night, urging every one to
ioin the American Red Cross.
During the year ending June 30,
1924. 81 600, 900 was expended for the
relief of disabled soldiers and their
families by local chapters in addition
to 81, ,735 825 expended by the national
organization on similar worls.
Many people who have been asked
to contribute say, "the war is over
and there is no more need for the
Red Cross"
There certainly is great need for
funds to carry on the splendid work
thew are doing not only for the eX-
soldier but in many other ways.
where their services are very prompt
" rendered in relief in serious calam-
aties, such as floods, fires, cyclones.
tornadoes, ETC., where by having funds
and equipment available, they render
special and prompt service which IS
so necessary in such circumstances.
In addition to above service the To-
cal chapter retains half of the money
raised, for local use among our own
needy ones, and is ably handled by the
ladies of our Home Service committee.
Let everyone take out at least a
membership card of $1.00.

MR.. AND MRS. L. e. JOHNSON
MOVING TO GLENDALE

Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis E. Johnson and
family are moving to Glendale. Mr.
Johnson, who for years has been a
progressive farmer, has decided to
give up dry farming at least for the
time being. He and his family will be
missed here. He will be especially
missed in farming circles, for he has
been active in trying to bring about
better marketing conditions for farm
products and also in raising the grade
of potatoes planted here and i'm
proving methods of grading for mar
ket.
In his wonted whimsical way, Lew
dictated the following adieu to Flag
staff friends "Our aim in life, to live
in a house by the side of the road and
be friend to man. is defected
somewhat owing to lack of moisture
and little bad judgment and we viii
have to find another house and an
other road for the time being. We
wish our friends every success. We
have no enemies so far as we are con-
GPrned "

that Mccormick intends to make his
drive; so the chances are that hunt,
ing in the west side will not damage
his chances of success.
To sketch developments during the
last few days:
State Game Warden Willard on get
ting word that the u. S. department
of agriculture was to permit hunting
of deer in the reserve made a flying
trip up there, vowing to have every
man arrested that killed a deer. AT
ter a few days he came back, saying
the hunt would not be allowed and
that Mccormick would get his permit
from the department to drive deer to
this side for the state. In other words
the hunt that was about to be put on
and that had been tipped off by The
Sun, was to be held up until after Nc
Cormick had made his drive.
Then, last Saturday, perintendent
Eakin of Grand Canyon national park
phoned The Sun that he had been in
formed that the hunt was scheduled
to open that day; whether ON both
sides of the reserve he was unable to
say. He reported that many cars were
going into the north forest, their driv-
ers to partake in the hunt. Three deer

AMERICAN LEGION
DEAD AGAINST BEGGARS

Begging or solicitation of funds on
the streets for disabled ex-service men
was deplored in a resolution passed
by the American Legion at Dayton,
Ohio. In urging that such solicitation
be forbidden, the Legion pointed out:
"Such funds, whether solicited by
individuals claiming to be disabled
ex-serviee persons or by organizations,
are not usually properly supervised
and accounted for in accordance with
the plans Of legally constituted bodies
who are reaching the disabled and
needy veterans through efficient chan
nels. Many times individuals solicit
ing funds through the sale of trifling
articles on the streets have been found
to have no war record at all and are
takers playing upon the sympathy and
credulity Of the public"

NORMAL ELEVEN OUT
GAINED PHOENIX WHO
WON BY TEAM WORK

Flagstaff was treated TO some more
real football Saturday, and though
the game went against our fOndest
hopes the result was expected. Any
how, when the Phoenix Junior college
Bears in the last quarter oyercame the
lead against them and emerged from
the contest victorious, they knew they
had been up against the real thing and
for once M their career had lost a lot
of fur
Normal's Lumberjacks, popped up
with better coaching and taught that
it takes a real fighting spirit to win
games against fighters, showed really
marvellous improvement over their
-ArYnistice day form. They are fine
bunch of game scrappers and there IS
a fighting chance that they can be
farther whipped into shape to meet
Tempe tomorrow with an even break
to win.
Normal has splendid material.
Brain, brawn and grit are all there.
When the lesson that it is only by the
team work of a smooth-Worklng ma
chine that football games can be won
against other real machines, Normal
will have an eleven that will be the
equal if not the superior of any other
in the state.
Our line-work was vastly superior
Saturday. If that had been depended
on more and less attempt made to
gain around the ends we might have
won. Repeatedly, on her own goal
line, Normal held the visitors. Re-
peatedly, when Normal had the ball
She drove forward through the line,
only to shift the method of attack to
an attempted end run, made without
proper interference and resulting in
the loss of the ball. 1t was the same
when Normal made forward passes.
Almost invariably they were made
wildly, with resultant loss of the ball.
On the other hand, Junior college
had to resort to forward passing to
gain ground. Without it they would
not have won the game.
Junior college won by superior
team-play over team that given the
Same amount of machining would
have overwhelmed them.
Normal received the ball at the
kickoff, but lost it to Phoenix inside
of a few yards From here the visi-
tors scored the first touchdown of the
game before the Lumberjaeks had
time to settle down to work How
ever, the home boys, after having
been scored on, went in with the best
fighting they had ever shown in any
game. During the remainder of the
first half, neither side scored again.
The half ended with the score 6 to 0
in favor Of the visiting team.
The third quarter showed some very
fine work on the part Of the home
boys Beginning the quarter with the
score against them they fought their
way to the goal on two different oc-
casions, one Of which scores was
made by Camp on an open field run.
