NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES
JOE SHIRLEY, Editor

The annual track and field meet of
the fourteen high schools of the
Northern Arizona Athletic association
is being held on the new McMuIlen
field here today and will continue un-
til tomorrow afternoon.
While here the various coaches
will work out the entire athletic sched-
ule for next years football, basket
ball and baseball games and also de-
eide on the date of next years track
meet.
Formerly but one day has been
given to the track meet, but this year
two whole days will be entirely taken
up. The big reason for this is that
for the first time in the history of
the association there will also be a
girls track meet.
Coach r. H. Drake of N. A. N. S.,
who is in charge, and r. r. Powers,
who has worked increasingly to get
the track in shape, say that this will
undoubtedly 'be the most successful in
the history of the school.
For the first time in the history
of N. A. n. S. this school will not
participate, as decided last year at the
meeting of the association. The nor
NAL boys have nearly always been sue
cessful in carrying off the cup and it
was decided that due to the age and
experience advantages which they
hold that it would hardly be fair to

Suggested for Governor.

Atlanta dispatches to number of the daily
newspapers of the state say that Hon Jesse
E. Mercer is being urged to become a can
ddate for governor. This is interesting news
to Mr.. MERGERS many friends here in south
west Georgia, where he grew to manhood
and for many years was prominently identi-
fed with the affairs of this section. He IS
native of an adjoining county to Terrell and
in another adjoining county he was for
number of years actively engaged in business
and public affairs, all of which makes his
suggested candidacy OF especial interest to
this section.
Whether or not Mr.. Mercer is seriously
contemplating a campaign for the govern
orship The News is not advised but should
he become candidate he will add zest and
interest to the contest He stands for well
defined principles, and is fearless and IN
swerving in his convictions. He is widely
known and an announcement from him as
to his intentions is awaited with interest in
every section of the state.

No Frills for Men.

The announcement of the Retail Clothiers'
Association that frills for men will be abol-
shed may strike the average man of the he
type as somewhat surprising He would say
at once that he did not know there had been
any such thing in the past. At least he did
not have them. and if he be fair to himself
he will not include the cookie pushers" in
the class to which he belongs.
STYLES for men have changed somewhat in
the past several years, but there have been
no abrupt departures. That mainly was be-
cause real men, accustomed to wear clothing
as a necessary complement of their daily
lie and not as emphasizing their chief pur-
pose of existence, never would permit any
thing but sanity in the cut and color OF their
apparel When the frills appeared the torea-
dor trousers, the bell bottoms and other
infections more quisitorial than sartorial reg
uar men were not in the least disturbed be-
cause they were not affected They merely
let some one else suffer the contagion
Not so encouraging is the news from
Paris, where purple tints of clothing have
marked the preening of human peacocks. Not
withstanding the first Encouragement there
is a hopeful note sounded by the female OF
the Species who is not pleased that the male
shall rival her in the display of bright plu-
mage. Ii seems that with human kind there
is reversal Of the rule oft found in nature
which puts the masculine in gayest adorn-
ment. And, while it would be the height OF
Jolly to quarrel with nature for what she has
done. more he men accept with gladness
the changed order which, even if less festive
and capricious, permits them to undertake
and to accomplish to better advantage a good
davis work.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
A Rude Rural Dialogue.

The pitchfork parked within the NOW said,
Il may rest from labor now, and dream OF
pleasant summer fields where | was lord OF
all the yields, when winrows thick on fertile
land would rise and move at my command.
Hay harvest now is snug in barn. the ice is
thick on brook and farm My work well
done, I'm sitting pretty, with time to sing
this little ditty. Hay fragrance upward to me
swes, and, though it's mixed with other
smells from where my cousin dung fork
dwells this is the life there's no use talking,
Tor any tool that lives by forking," The dung
.ork answered, Hey there, brother, let's
speak right plain to one another. | hear your
brags, but where'd you be if it were not for
such as me. The dude may hold his dainty
nose but from my strength the corn crop
grows, the sweetest fruit, the fairest rose;
and green grass grows up all around whereer
my freight is spread ground. Come join
with me a perfect match; for what | start

The One-Crop Folly.

Georgia and cotton have long been almost
synonymous. Likewise, poor farmer" has
been one of the results OF this close associa-
ton Cotton has been the money crop, and
still is the principal one. There are Others
however, and chief of the newcomers is the
peanut.
The cooperative peanut marketing asso-
citation is getting off to an early start and
bids fair to enable the farmer to make some
money on this crop
The prospect of relief from the "onc
crop system" or the cotton system, however
small, is appealing. Cotton can be grown de-
spite the boil weevil, but after the tax
has been paid to this voracious insect there
remains the uncertainty of securing price
that will net an income
Peanuts, and some other crops, too, afford
the farmer another leg to stand on, and the
greater number of legs the harder it is to
knock him off of his feet. Peanuts, with the
help of the cooperative association, prom
ises to be a steady prop.
1t is one of the duties OF the association
to Judge what the demand next season will be
and to have its members plant peanuts &C
cordingly. With the demand and the supply
any way near in their proper ratio farmers
will be materially benefited by peanut cul-
tivation.

Pushers and the Cart.

Let's get Dawson from the rut Read the
advertisement, Put Your Shoulder to the
Wheel" which appears in this issue OF The
News It tells a story of a cart stuck in the
mud; of how onlookers stand by, waiting to
see if something will happen; and, finally,
how doors" by putting their shoulders to
the wheel, get the cart going again.
It doesn't take a vivid imagination to
picture Dawson as the cart. There are many
things that are being done that shouldn't be
done or things that should be done-there is

from the rut they not only move the cart
but they go with it, The others remain be

The Syrup Mixture.
From the Moultrie Observer.

The experiments made at the Coastal Plains
Experiment Station at Triton with the various
methods of poisoning boil weevils resulted
very much as did the experiments at the
Griffin Station, except hat it was even more
favorable to the use Of the poison in liquid
form or mixed with syrup
1t is up to the State College of Agriculture
and the federal agents to either refute these
demonstrations or unsay some of the things
they have been saying about syrup mixtures.
1t looks very much like it will change the
methods of fighting the weevil in Georgia
from the busting method to the spraying and
hopping method
1t is probable that the best method of
fighting the weevil will depend in some meas
ure on the seasons, and that it will be found
that the syrup mixture is best for small cot
ton and busting as good if not better when
the stalk reaches considerable size.
The syrup mixture is simple
It is also cheaper.
At very little expense the cotton crop can
be saved in an average year. There will be
more effort expended with the liquid poison,
maybe, but it will last longer. 1t stands the
rains better.

From the Greensboro Herald Journal

We like to see and hear a man who is
proud of his native town. He is an indis-
pensable citizen although he may be as poor
as a church mouse; but his name should be
written in large letters at the entrance gate
of his town in honor of his memory. We
have such with us and they are worth more
to the progress of our town than their weight
in gold. They know every point of interest
and of advantage for miles around; and any
strangers falling into their hands will soon
learn everything that adds to the honor OF
our town and will be most tavorably I'M

patriotism all short comings and magnify
with honest citizenship every advantage, We

The Presidential Primary.

One week from tomorrow the democrats OF
Georgia will express their preference be-
tween Senator Underwood, of Alabama, and
VIM G. McAdoo, OF California for the dem
ocratic nomination for president. For several
weeks both candidates have had headquar-
tiers at the state capital and have waged more
or less active campaign. However, but little
interest has been aroused for either candi-
date and comparatively light vote is ex-
pected except in those counties which will
hold local elections.
With but few exceptions the newspapers
OF the state have taken but little part in the
campaign. Among the exchanges OF The
News the majority of the daily newspapers
in the populous centers have seemed inclined
to Mr.. McAdoo, while the country press, in
the MAN, is favorable to Senator Under
wood The principal objections to Mr. Nc
Adoo as leader of the party are voiced in
extracts printed below from three of the
most prominent weekly newspapers in diff
ferent sections OF the state The Meriwether
EindcatOr says:
1t matters not however legitimate his
employment and pure his motives, the
democrats can not afford to nominate
McAdoo. He was to get million dol
lars fee according to his own statement,
if he succeeded in Strengthening out Do
heny's affairs with the Mexican govern
ment, and he did get large lee for his
services. The democrats can not afford
to nominate man who has the smell
of oil on his garments. The graft OF
the republican officials will be one of the
issues Of the presidential campaign, and
we can not meet it before the people with
McAdoo as our candidate.
The Madisonian observes that the mess
McAdoo made Of the railroads has contrib
uted more than any other one thing to our de
morallzed agricultural conditions" and the
Commerce News, recognized as one OF the
most ably edited papers Of the state, voices
this objection:
Mr.. McAdoo's management OF the rail
roads during the period did not lead
us to conclude that he is a good business
man. 1t will take a long while tor the
railroads TO surmount the evil effects OF
Mr.. McAdoo's management He increas-
ed the wages of an ignorant man who

that if the polls are opened at the country
precincts in all OF the counties OF the state
Senator Underwood will be an easy victor
but ii most OF the voting is confined to the
cities and court house towns Mr.. McAdoo
may get the Georgia delegation.
