 Insurance Rates Rise
 Within the fire districts of Berlin the fire insurance rate has practical lv doubled, as far as private pro- perties are concerned, it was stated today. In spite of the fact that the town has been piped for water, the rates are now higher than they were before this convenience was in stalled.
 Outside of the fire districts the rate has increased about so per cent. it Is said This new ruling went Into effect on June 21 and is caused by excessi"e losses through | fire in all parts of the state. IL does not apply only to the town of | Berlin.
 The fact that Berlin has entered | into an agreement with New Brit l ain. whereb. he latter town fur | nishes fire protection to all parts of | Berlin has received no consideration | from the fire underwriters it is said
 The need for fire department in | the town is thus shown forcibly and | it Is believed that the time will | come when tho town authorities and the townspeopln in gene Il will real izo th,' fire protection should come from wit | the boundaries of Der lin.

STOCK GENERALLY RE-
SPOND TO BETTER RANGES

Light to moderate ram over the
desert sections and moderate to
heavy rain and snow at higher eleva-

ment of nearly all stock ranges OF the
district. Stock generally has begun
to respond to improved conditions Of
feed and water and the soil in most
sections is well moistened assuring,
in more elevated areas, sufficiehcy
of spring feed.
On the upper Gila river, in the
Thatcher section, the range. is fine,
grass good and stock fair. The water,
stock and range in Santa Cruz coun-
ty are all reported good. An apuna-
ance Of running water is available IN
/ the Whiteriver section and stock IS N
good condition. Water and grass arc
ample for spring needs at Pinedale

leges, the high schools, and the grade
schools everywhere are interested.
Indeed, everybody seems interested IN
sports.
There are three kinds of supporters
of athletics. First, there are those
who are interested in the game itself,
hoping always their teams will win
by fair or foul means. They show
poor sportsmanship when their teams
lose, and boastful spirit, which IS
also poor craftsmanship, when they
win. Second, there are others who
stand on the sidelines to bet on the
outcome of the games, with no other
interest than financial gain. The
people who make up this group are
the most demoralizing of all the fol-
lowers of athletics. They do more
than all other influences, to put atfl-
letics in disrepute. May their num-
bers decrease. Third, there is another
class, large group, interested IN
clean athletics and fine sportsman
ship. The boys on teams coached by
men who take this view are modest
when winning and not resentful when
| losing. This group which 1T is hoped,
! is growing rapidly, is made up oil
educators everywhere who desire TO
/ use the interest in clean athletics ana
games of all kinds in such way as to
help the work, not only of the boys
participating in the games, but OF the
entire student body as we'll. Ihey de-
sire to help the players and partlsans
of the game, to still the whine OF the
auitter and teach him to lose the
game as well as win it gracefully and
graciously.
A fine young man on good team
said recently, when congratulated on
winning the game, "Well, ] guess we
plaved in luck this time" Another
time after his team had lost, Well
we did our best and lost. think the
hest team won" Isn't that a fine at
titude for a player to take? | an
\ sure all agree that it is, and that this
lis a fine ideal to keep before the pub
| lie.
| The boy who plays fairly with his
fellows in football, basketball ant
baseball, will be less likely to cheat II
later life when the hours are for Wori
instead of for play. The girl wh'
knows and observes the rules OF tru'
snortsmanship in tennis and basket
hall will not be found cheating a
bridge when she has grown oldef' Io
the lessons of SportsmanSnlp are th
lessons of honor; and when rlgnt ilV
ing and right conduct are made par
of the game of life, the cause Q
craftsmanship is on the side of bette
citizenship as we'll as better states an

Saturday morning in Albuquerque OF
heart failure following pneumonia.
News of Mr.. MiIer's death brought

Mr.. Miller was 33 last October,
The last few years Of his life was a
tedious fight against death, during
which his courage and CHEEKY optl-

The world of sport has made a

A. A. A. LOGGING OLD
TRAILS; HOW SNOW LIES
KEEP TOURISTS AWAY

Major Bernard S. McMahan, O. K.
c., special representative of Ameu-
can Automobile association, was ln
Flagstaff yesterday from Washing
ton, ID. c.
The major, rated as one Of the fore
most road scouts of America, is gath
ering material for the log book OF the
National Old Trails highway from San
Francisco to Baltimore through Flag-
staff.
Logging this HIGHWAY has been long
planned. Now it is being done and
the information, complete in all de-
tails as to road conditions, distances,
scenic sections, camping ana other
tourist facilities, etc, will be publish
ed in an A. A. A. tour book for use

/ United States and the auto travelling

at is too bad something can't be
done to let the rest of the country
know your roads are not closed by
snow during long winter" said Ma
ior McMahan at The Sun office. "Peo-
ple on the coast seemed to doubt my
being able to drive through here at
| this time Of year Fasteners also
have the impression your roads are
impossible now"
Alf Dickinson that morning report
ed along the same line that a tourist
got in the day before from New MeXl-
co who had been told there that the
snow here was two feet deep.
The fact that heavy SHOWS are q
much greater rarity here than in the
middle west and that our main high
way is never closed "a consecutive
hours is so widely at variance WIth
popular misconception that we lose
great deal of tourist traffic during
1 the winter months that we otherwise
would have. II Is apparent that Al

Though the COCONINO SUN bowl

swatters, the only odium or dis

The COCONINO SUN team is COM

of thugs and ex-convicts. The COCO

and smiling in defeat. The other
team had it lost would now have been

The swatters are not only older,
they are much bigger than US. When
