Twenty-Five boys have been work
ing out daily at the local high school
in preparation for the coming foot
ball season which opens tomorrow
with a game at Prescott. The squad
is somewhat handicapped by the loss
of eight lettermen from last years
team but with Captain Charlie Proch-
now and Babe Cameron, backfield
candidates; and Corbett, Wallace and
Beard, ineman on hand along with
some promising new material, the
team ought to give a good account
Of itself during the season.
The practices have consisted OF
mainly drills in fundamentals, tack
ling. blocking, running interference,
passing, and kicking with one or two
light scrimmages each week. Several
of last years second team men are
showing up we'll and ought to land a
place on the team. Bob Prochnow
and Wong June are likely backfield
men while Siipher, Thomas, Ander-
son and Caffey are making a strong
bid for line positions. Curry and
Brands are two new men in school
with some experience. Both of these
boys are husky and are showing
plenty of fight. Others who have
been working out and show much
promise are: Harrison, Meir, Dun
man, L. Steinmetz, J. Steinmetz,
Ward, and Kuhn.
The local team has been pointing
to the game tomorrow and considers
it one of the hardest on the schedule.
Very little is known of the Prescott
team but they are reputed to be
strong, all but three of last years
men are back The outcome is a
question, but it is assured to be a
good, scrappy game. A win would
place Flagstaff as a strong contend
er in the Northern Arizona League.
The probable starting lineup will
be: Ends, Caffey and Beard; tackles,
Wallace and Curry; guards, Corbett,
Rrandes, Anderson, Slipher; center,
Brandes or Slipher; quarterback, c..
Prochnow; halfbacks, B. Prochnow
and June; fullback, Cameron.
The seasons schedule is as follows:
Sept. 25-Prescott at Prescott.
Oct. 8-Clarkdale at Flagstaff.
Oct. 15-Williams at Flagstaff.
Oct. 29-Winslow at Kingman.
Nov. 11-Williams at Williams.

BOY SCOUTS AND JAZZ
FEATURE HIRAM PROGRAM

Last Friday the Hiram club was
regaled with good food, good pro-
gram and good fellowship. Miss
Beaslev. Mrs. Vandevier and Miss Il.
DeBeaulieu were responsible for the
tasteful luncheon. Alex Johnston
provided the program and President
Frank M. Gold led the club In the
lighter vein.
The guests included T. A. Stahl,
L. w. Cress, A. W. Brown, Frank
Harrison, Bob Waldraven, Phil Hall,
E. Morrissey, and G. B. Felker.
That tuneful, toe-tickling twain,
Hall and Morrissey, furnished sever
al lively, excellent pieces on the BAN
10 and accordion, which received gen
erous deserved applause.
Geo. D. Felker, deputy regional
executive of Region IL, Boy Scouts,
gave an interesting resume of scout
work. He summarized the scouts
objective as an effort ito balance the
growing boy in his relationships with
home and community" Scout work
covers the ages of boy from IL to
16. beginning with no physical exer-
ton in the tenderfoot class to some
physical work in the second class,
more physical work in first class,
and finally specializing in some vo-
cational occupation under community
direction. There are 100000 scouts,
led by 175,000 men of whom less
than 1000 are paid employees. The
effort is made to care for part OF
the boys leisure time, as it has been
proven that the makings of either
wickedness or cultural development
are found largely in the leisure time
of man or boy. The scout movement
is recognized by the government and
is one of four efforts to care for the
boy, the other three being the Big
Brotherhood movement, Federated
Boys clubs, Y. M. G. A.
Clark Granting will be chairman
at today's meeting.

FUTURE is
DIMMED If MADE HEALTH
RESORT, COTTON SAYS

DR.. Harold S. Cotton of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania faculty, who
with his charming wife long have
been ardent friends of Flagstaff and
recently bought fine country home
here, sounds note of warning again
st trying to make this a health re-
sort. His letter is self Explanatory:
"Mr P. J. Moran,
Flagstaff, Arizona.
"My dear Mr. Moran:
Yesterday received letter from
Miss Stewart asking me to help get
in touch with certain individuals in
connection with the campaign to get
the National Sanitarium for Tubercu-
lar Children, Inc, located in Flag
staff.
"Mrs. Cotton and / believe in
Flagstaff. We believe that it has a
wonderful future as a great tourist
and educational center. We have
visited nearly every state in the
Union and after fourteen years have
settled here. We know of no other
locality that contains The diversified
interests to be found in the neighbor-
hood of Flagstaff. This is not only
for tourists but also for the wealthy
dude ranch" habitue, forever in
search of new sensations; while
yearly it's reputatin is increasing as
center of educational work and sci
entific research in varied fields.
+ We believe that this is a country
for well people and that Flagstaff
will utterly kill it's future prospects
as dude ranch center by advertis-
ing itself as sick country like Sill
yer City or Prescott.
In the east Arizona has the repu-
tation of being vast sanitorium.
AS a consequence of this the eastern
yacationist SHES off; and Wyoming
is getting the money without half
of the attractions. So far Flagstaff
with the wonderful plateau country
stretching on every side has been
living down this reputation and has
a wonderful opportunity to make
itself unique in the southwest. /
consider that we will ruin our future
)rspoects by this tempting "bird in
the hand" proposition.
am always glad to help Flagstaff
in any way possible but | consider
his move as menace to the best in
terests of the community.
81 am very sincerely,

MORAN, FRONSKE ARE IN
OKLAHOMA CITY AFTER
CHILDREN'S SANITORIUM

Feeling that the utmost import
ance is attached to attempt on the
part of Flagstaff to bring the $5,-
100000 tubercular hospital for poor
children of America to this point, the
chamber of commerce prepared a
26-page statistical survey of the var
ious reasons for such an institution
establishing itself here, and also
containing letters from such as Sem
ator Henry Ashurst, Governor Hunt,
G. B. Wilson, Senator Runke, John O.
Thomas, /. B. Koch, Charlotte Acker,
Grady Gammage and others interest
ed in seeing this hospital established
here.
The reason for attempting to Sc
cure this institution is not only be-
cause OF the largeness of the invest
n1ent but on account of the nation
wide publicity Flagstaff will receive
within the next 60-days due to the
campaign for funds throughout the
entire country. Those particularly
interested feel that the city cannot
receive anything but the most favor
able publicity on account of the insti-
tuition being for children.
With such a large project estab-
lished in Flagstaff we would be in
position to secure large manufacture
ing interests due to the publicity
Flagstaff will receive. 1t is an ad-
mitted fact that Flagstaff is anxious
to enlarge its payroll and only by GO
ing after projects of the scope of this
tuberculosis hospital, can we hope to
bring the eyes of the nation upon us.
At recent melting of city council,
they voted to send a delegate to this
conference in Oklahoma City, on Sep
tember 25, and they have accordingly
selected DR.. NJ G. Fronske as their
representative. P. j. Moran, presi-
dent of the chamber of commerce will
also attend this meeting and it is
hoped that Earl Slipher will be able
to go also. DR.. Fronske and Mr.. Mo-
ran left Wednesday evening and will
attend this meeting in Oklahoma City
on the following Saturday, returning
home next week.
In this connection Mr.. Moyan said,
Eve are going to this meeting with
the intention of bringing this insti
tuition to Flagstaff. We would not
be making this trip if we had not
carefully and conscieutiously investi-
gated this proposition and viewed it
from all angles. In so doing we have
arrived at the decision that if Flag
staff can secure this institution it
will be one of the biggest accom-
plishments of the year.
IF we are not successful, we will
anyway have demonstrated to our
neighboring communities that we are
on our toes and alive to our oppor-
tunities and in so doing, we will have |
at least secured some very Valuable
publicity"

BOYS WORK THEME OF
THIS WEEKS ROTARY


Boys work and it's Importance to
the community and nation was the
theme of Tuesdays Rotary program
conducted by G.. B. Wilson, chairman
for the day, who had arranged an
interesting, inspiring program.
President Ed Miller, having re-
gained his voice, was in charge.
Mr.. Wilson related several exam
pies of successful boys work in other
communities and read excerpts from
speeches at the International Ro-
tary convention stressing the i'm
portance of the work.
Frank M. Gold told how the juve-
nile courts in this state are conduct
ed. The superior court judges are
the juvenile court judges and have
absolute jurisdiction over law break
ers under the age of 16, whom usual
ly in case of minor offenses they talk
to and counsel, committing to an in
stitution only those who seem incor-
rigible. No record is kept of these
cases. Mr.. Gold said while Judge
Jones Of this county handles many of
these cases, the names of the Of
tenders and all particulars are kept
secret, so the offenders are not handi-
capped in later life by any record
of their misdemeanors. Mr. Gold said
that there are comparatively few
juvenile cases in this county, and
called attention to the fact that 90
percent of all misdemeanors and
crimes coming before the courts of
this county are committed by non-
residents. He concluded with an ap.
peal to the men to not forget any
momentary high resolves they may
make to be helpful to boys, but to
transmute the resolves into daily
action.
NJ. I. Powers in well-chosen anec-
dotes and genial spontaneities ex-
pressed his appreciation of Rotary
and its influences and friendships
and his greater fbndness for Flag
staff and its people than for Los
Angeles and his neighbors there.
Otto Lund, state director, Ameri-
can Red Cross, spoke of the Florida
disaster and of the drive for local
funds to assist the sufferers.
George Myers vocal solo was en-
corcd, both numbers being home
runs. Miss Elsa Myers accompanied
on the piano.
Young Bill Costigan did solo
Charleston dance and as nimbly re-
sponded to encore.
w. H. Switzer, chairman resolu-
-tions committee, read resolution
inviting the next Rotary district con-
ference here, March IL and IL, and
it was unanimously adopted.
Sergeant at Arms, Ralph Davis,
who had or will have birthday this
week, passed some good cigars.
The tables were beautifully deco

THIS LAST WEEK CITY
BEAUTIFUL CAMP AIGN

18 THIS is LAST WEEK In ClI I
Another page in the history OF
Flagstaff's successful city beautiful
campaign has been turned and many
wards are the better for this concen-
trated action on the part of all. Dis
trict No. in charge of Orinn Comp
ton has the distinction of having the
only two-star honor yard. Mrs. An
thony Burke of that district won the
flag for lawn and weed week and
again won it on building and paint
ing week, receiving first prize this
last time.
The chamber of commerce office
received call from one OF Flag
staff's prominent citizens the other
day relative to the fact that no flag
had been placed on his property. This
seems a most regrettable incident
but due to the limited number of
flags and the great number of lawns
and homes deserving of this honor, it
has been impossible to place flags IN
every case where they are deserved.
Next year let us hope we shall have
a sufficient number of markers TO
post in every yard that has shown
unusual development and let us hope
that every yard in the city will be
deserving.
This week is clearing of rubbish
week" and everyone is asked to tear
down old fences, pull up neglected
walks, cut weeds, and remove all rub
bish in order that you may be IN
line for the prize and flag. Re-
member, the Judging is done every
Friday, SO be prepared. Place your
rubbish in boxes or sacks on your
parking strip each Saturday morn
ing of this month, and the city will
carry it away.
The winners for the past week are:
District No. l, Paul Rodriguez, first
Joe Crawford and F. G. Chiappetti;
District No. 3, Ray Babbitt, first
Arthur Vandevier and the Flagstaff
Community Hotel; District No. a
Mrs. Anthony Burke, William Comp
ton and Brooks Tourist Park; Dis
trict No. 5, al Kimsey, first, Mr.
Lewis and Mrs. w. A. Mayflower;
District No. 6, DR.. J. O. Fordyce
first. DR.. E. A. Miller and George
Harrington. The winners in district
No. l in charge of K. j. Nackard
have not been turned in yet. The
prizes this past week were two tick
cts in each district to the Orpheum
theater. Next weeks prizes will be
one dollar grocery orders on Rickel
& Hilkins.
Beginning Monday, September 81
will be general improvement week
and those places showing the most
improvement over the whole month
viii be awarded the prizes and hon
Drable mention. At the close of the
campaign, the three best exhibits in
The entire city will be awarded pri-

MISS VIRGINIA PHELAN
R. JOHNSON ARE new
TEACHERS CITY SCHOOLS

The faculty roll of the Flagstaff
city schools has been completed by
the selection of Virginia Phelan Of
Flagstaff as school nurse and Ray
nnond Frank johnson of Seattle as
the additional teacher of social sci
ence and mathematics in the high
school.
The school board experienced con-
siderable difficulty in selecting a
school nurse. Candidates were scarce
and those who did apply seemed
poorly qualified for this important
fortunate in securing the services OF
a trained nurse.
Miss Phelan received training in
San Francisco, is graduate of St.
Joseph's hospital of Phoenix, and is
a registered nurse in this state. Since
her graduation she has had practical
experience as a nurse end has held
executive positions in San Diego and
Chicago. She win not take up her
duties until September 81. She has
many friends in Flagstaff being the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Phe-
Ian of this city.
The enrolment in the high school
during the past two years, as well
as the quality and qua'ltity of the
work accomplished, has increased to
such proportions that an additional
teacher was necessary. The neces-
sity of giving additional courses and
formation of extra classes to meet
the demand of a growing high school
was apparent last year, so the ques-
tion of an additional teacher in both
Emerson school and the high school
was decided upon last spring and
provisions made in the budget to
take care of this extra work.
Raymond Frank johnson of Seat
tie is a graduate of University Of
Washington, and is the new teacher
of social science and mathematics in
tbs high school, arrived from Seattle
last Wednesday and Immediately as
sun1ed his duties.

TEACHERS COLLEGE OPENS
MONDAY; INCREASE ROLL
GAMMACE new PRESIDENT

! The Northern Arizona Teachers
college will open for the fall quar-
ter on the 9th year of it's existence,
and the second as standard teach
ers college. According to conserva-
tive figures given out by the busi-
ness office it is expected that the
collge will have about 10 to 20 per
cent increase in enrolment over last
year.
The largest increase will be shown
it was explained, in the new depart
ment of physical education which
has become SO large this year that
it was necessary to relieve Mr.. Jes-
supe present physical director of his
duties of coach of athletics. Mr.. Jes-
suppe will devote all his time and
energy to the further developing of
this department. 1t is estimated
that rs to 90 boys will register, and
about half of them will be enrolled
in physical education. It has been
necessary to partition off Bury hall
to take care of the large influx Of
young men. IF this condition contin-
ues, in a few years it will be neces-
sary to build other dormitories or
enlarge the present ones to take care
of the young women, and give over
Taylor and Bury halls for young
men. This healthy growth has re-
Elected itself in the type Of students
coming here.
The increase in the number of
young women this fall will not be
as large as that of the young men
probably for the reason that the en-
phasis has been placed largely IN
attracting the great army Of young
men who after they are graduated
from high school drift away from
school for all time.
President Gammage announced
that the first faculty meeting will
be held at eight o'clock sharp on
Monday morning, and at 8:45 regis
tration will begin. However, the
business office is urging all old stu
dents and those living in town to
nav their fees Saturday in order to
avoid the rush on Monday. All stu
dents must pay before they will be
allowed to register.
Glasses will begin at 8 O'Clock
Tuesday morning. The first general
assembly is scheduled for Tuesday
morning at 11:40.
The training school children will
register at o'clock Monday morn
ing.
No changes were announced on
the faculty with the exception OF
Miss Cornelia Dockstader, first
grade critic, who will be on her
,auarter's leave of absence this fall
Her successor during her leave has
not as yet been announced.
Friday, October /, is the date set
for the annual "get-together hand
shake" at which time all the old
students and faculty will renew old
acquaintancesships, and the new stu,
dents will meet the old ones as well
as the faculty. Invitations have been
mailed and it is expected many
townfolk will get acquainted with
the students.
