Sheep Doing Well
on Winter Ranges

Warm, dry and sunshiny weather
has been favorable for livestock, es-
pecially for young lambs just be-
ginning to arrive in the Salt River
Valley. Ewes brought into the lower
valleys for the winter are generally
in excellent condition and lambing is
progressing favorahly. December
SHOWS have disappeared from all
grazing areas and there appears to
be sufficient feed for all stock. A
large number of cattle have been
shipped from northern sections and
the demand for feed is somewhat
less than usual. Feeding of stock has
been confined to small herds. Water
is low in the Hoibrook section but is
ample about Seligman and good at
Nogales and Whiteriver. All stock
conditions at Grand Canyon, Pres
colt, Thatcher and Nogales are good.
Stock in the Ft. Bayard, New Mexico
section have not recovered entirely
from the cold weather of December
and are deteriorating somwhat.
The end of this week will probably
see the close of this years cotton
season. The weather has been ideal
for picking and most fields are clean
ed up. Lettuce has been greatly inn
proved by recent cold nights. The
observer at Yuma reports that much
alfalfa is down and growers are wor-
ried by threatening weather. Activ-
ity in pecan planting is in evidence.
Land is being prepared on the Yuma
Mesa as well as in warmer sections
about Wellton for both Citrus and
vineyard planting. Total cotton gin
ned at Yuma is near 26,000 bales.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
#@%#*%##%%##%%+f =

Friday marks the close of the first
semester's work in Flagstaff high
school. Semester examinations were
given on Thursday and Friday of
this week. All students must take
the final examination in order to re-
ceive semester credits. Students who
are unable to be present for the final
examination this week end will be
given an opportunity to take their
finals on next Wednesday.
Enrolment for the next senester's
work is being cared for this week.
Since there are few changes to be
made in students programs, the regu-
lar classroom work will go on with
out interruption. All classes will
meet as usual on the first day of the
second semester.
The first semester's work has been
unusually good according to the re-
port of teachers, as to quality and
quantity of work accomplished in
the different departments Of the high
school. The grades made during the
past three six week periods show
comparatively few failures so we an
ticipate that the semester's results
will disclose a good record for the
students The record shows that last
semesters attendance is 12 per cent
better than that of any previous Sc
mester and it is not likely that there
will be any decided increase in next
senester's attendance. AS rule
high school enrolment throughout
the state shows a decrease in num-
bers for the second term of each
school year.

THE AIRPORT

Discussion regarding the adyis- ability of providing municipal air port has reached the point of possible early action, it remaining with the Common Council and the board Of finance and taxation whether the Edman farm in Newington. just be- yond the New Britain border, Is to be purchased for the purpose.
 It looks at this time that the air port will cost Si0,o00 for the land, with small additional outlay probably necessary to prepare it for the use of planes.
 Nothing but an abiding faith in the future Of airplane travel and the commercial advantages to be derived can justify this expenditure. This abiding faith, unless we are some what mistaken, exists. At least. there is general impression, noted al- most everywhere, that the city which does not provide an airport now or in the near future is behind the times. There is also the belief current that land for the purpose, land which is within easy distances of the cities 10 be served, will never become cheaper. We have been told that + is a case Of buying now or paying more later.
 This, of course, Is not 10 be con- struad as an argument for the pur- chase of the particular land in view; that is question that rests entirely with the civic authorities, and Is part of their functions as civic servants. If the city obtains q satisfactory airport this fall il will be ahead Of some other cities in Connecticut, which although warmly discussing such projects, haven't gone quite that far For q time 1t looked as if New Britain would be ono Of the last 10 obtain an airport.
 Cities everywhere are going to ronsiderab ble expense in providing airports. The. imagination of officials and the people has been stirred with the possibilities Of airplann travel and though everyone as yet IS not "air-minded,' there is no doubt that startling developments within th" neEt ten years are anticipated If begins to appear certain that New Britain will he prepared when that development comes.

SEEKING .iN .AUDITORICM

When q city begins to find itself and realizes that man does not live by bread alone, it invariably takes note of the fact it lacks q public auditorium.
 One Of the great cities tha: has rcgun to take stock of such de- ticiency is Boston-there she stands, the one-sided hub of all New Eng land.
 True, the bean city has it Sym phony Hall, fairly large and commo- dious, and displaying sta'uary that no Puritan would have counte- nanced, and which, if photographed and printed in q book could not be sold in that town of purest morals; it also has an opera house Of enor- nous dimensions, which stands idle throughout most Of the year.
 Boston, however, wants more; it desires a municipal auditorium, if it can get it.
 Mayor Nichols has been travelling ir the west to see how municipal auditoriums are conducted in Cleye- land, how the municipal coliseum is operated in Chicago how the mUni- cipal theater is operated in St. Louis. The mayors secretary, the corporation counsel and the city collector are along, providing quite q delightful junket.
 One notes with amusement, there fore, the efforts of the tight-fistcd finance commission of Boston in writing to officials of the cities on the itinerary, making inquiries about the mayors visit, That assuredly is no way to treat a mayor.
 IL looks as if Mayor Nichols is going to push his plans for a Bos- ton auditorium along municipa lines. The city would like to harbor national political convention.

 But the Amoskeag trustees are rot in a hurry. They take a laud- able interest in the future Of Man chester. and has let it be known they will take no action that will spell disaster to the city in which the great industry has been develop cd, unless such action is entirely un- avoidable.
 One cannot help being depressed at the difficulties being experienced by New England's textile plants. But the textile industry elsewhere is not much better off. So long as women wear so much less than formerly the industry will he only a fraction of what it formerly was, It is q victim Of changing fashions.

Camels and Sheiks
 Thrill American Girls

Marrakech. Morocco, Oct. PN- Morocco means camels and sheiks to the shoals Of American school girls who invade the country each autumn chaperoned by Paris finish ing school teachers. Marrakech sees most of them, because they find the herds here which make camel rides possible. No debutante considers her tour complete until she has been camel riding. Sheiks are harder to find, the type being q product of the desert interiors.
 The school girls visit Morocco carly in the fall, at the Christmas holiday or late in the spring. Mar rakech the Red, under the shadows of the High Atlas, is the only city where camcls in numbers may be obtained, and so the girls do most of their camel riding here. Only the freight-carrying type of animal is available. There are no swift ships of the desert" for the young tourists. But that does not de- tract from the enjoyment of the flappers, to whom any camel is camel

HI7HING7ON STORY
 SAVED BY PRINT
Impress Of Ancient Roman Cat
 Upholds Tale

Ashstead, England. Oct FN- Thousands of English school chill dren who have feared that they should have to give up their long, cherished tradition of Dick Whit tington and his cat are once more treasured.
 Dick Wilmington was lord mayor of London in the fifteenth century. The story is told that when a scul- lion boy he vcntured with his cat, his only possession, on a merchant ship of his master and so made his fortune.
 Recently the lord mayor of Lon don, Sir Rowland Blades. said that there could be no truth in the story of Dick Wilmington and his cat for the reason that there were no cats in England in Dicks time.
 There was more excitement in England over his statement than about some of the transatlantic flights. Educators thought they would have to change their stories to the younger people and rewrite the reading books.
 But now comes Arthur R. Cot ton, lord Of the manor of Ashstead, Surrey, in the forest of which the remains of a Roman villa have been found. He says there were cats in England in the second cen- tury, and in proof of his statement he produces a piece of Roman tile made at Ashstead in that century on which a cat had put it's paw while the tile was stir soft, leav- ing a clear impression. Because the lord mayors house | is within a few yards of the Cotton homestead it is possible that the cat caught mice in Sir RoNlands garden. 1,7O0 years ago. Cotton is having a cast made of the cats paw to present to the lord mayor.

\ FLARE IN THE BALKANS

Relations between Bulgaria and Jugoslavia are upon q par with those existing between Serbia and Austro- Hungary before the world war. That is to say, they are un- friendly.
 The Bulgarian Comitadjis, or ir- regulars, have been active again, and as quite frequently happens when they follow their bent alosg the border somebody got assassinat- cd, this time Brigadier- General Kovachevitch of the Jugoslayian military.
 Jugoslavia has dispatched strong note, of course. demanding that ef- fective measures be taken by Rul- garia 10 disband the trouble-mallers Bulgaria no doubt will try to do so; but as the Comitadis have been op- er2ting more or less successfully since the end of the war, they prob ably will start operations again ius' as soon as the present excitement dies down.
 The trouble originates from tho division of former Bulgarian terri tory between Jugoslavia and Greece following the termination of tho world war. Bulgaria thinks it was divaste1 of land rightfully hers, in spite of the exalted declarations made at the time that self-dc'erm- inati0n would govern such realioca- tions of territory,
 The Bulgarian government, while disclalming any connection with the Comitadiis, might do more 10 break ID their operations, is long as Macedonian cyilcs employ them to throw bombs into government bill- ings ever so frequently there is small likelihood of ending this source Of hard-f,cl.ng. The Comi- tadjis irrogulars combine irredendist principles with pay. So long as dis i gruntlod border residents are able and wiling to pay for the services Of bandit leaders SO long will there be intermittent ass1ssiaations. ! T. is fortunate that sundry nations HOW know enough not to go to war over these irresponsible outbreaks, despicabIa and useless though they { be. That at least is a step forward.
