COOPERATION GROWING
AMONG LARGER SCHOOLS
ROTARIANS WERE TOLD

Tom Bellwood, dean of Flagstaff
Teachers college, was chairman at
Tuesdays Rotary meeting, and had an
interesting and instructive program,
built around the work of the schools
Of higher education in this state.
Mr.. Bellwood led off with a talk
about teaching. There is need of
greater cooperation between the lead
ing educational institutions of the
state, he said, and this cooperation is
now much greater than ever before
and is increasing. One of the definite
results it is believed will be an all
state summer school in Flagstaff,
probably beginning next summer.
But there are local problems to be
solved if this is to be brought about,
and much constructive local coopera-
ton is needed to secure more hous-
ing facilities. Owe can't expect some
of the teachers to come here" Mr.,
Bellwood said, 'thaving been used to
the average luxuries, to find that they.
will have to live while here in some
barn or shack. We need more dormi-
tory rooms and more rooms through
out the city"
Dean Cross of Phoenix Junior col
lege described the functions of jun
ior colleges. They prepare students
for universities, for special vocational
training, such as law, engineering,
ETC., and also take care of many stu
dents in two-years work who other
wise would not 90 to universities and
take the four-year courses required
there. He said Leland Stanford uni
versity has adopted the plan of Johns
C
two-year courses and leaving that
work to be taken care of by the sew
eral junior colleges of the state. In
1921, when Phoenix Junior college was
established, it had seven students. 1t
during the last school year.
Id. Payne of Tempe Teachers col
lege sketched the increasing demands
in requirements made for teaching.
When that school was founded AZ
years ago an eighth grade training
was all that was required of teachers.
Then the requirement was raised to a
year in a normal school, then to two
teachers college.
Dean Lockwood of the State univer-
sity said that relations between the
institutions of higher education in
this state were never more cordial
than now and they are getting finer
all of the time.
DR.. Grady Gammage, president
Flagstaff Teachers college, gave a
fine impromptu talk on the objects Of
Rotary.
Professor w. B. Downing of the
University of Kansas, with Miss Mil

LOGGER GEN. DOUSETTE If
We GET TO LOGGER HEADS

F. E. Dousette, the energetic young
man who materially assisted IN the
return of Alsace and Lorraine to
France and otherwise performed in a
most disagreeable manner toward
Germany during the 1918 exchange of
powder puffs, cargoes of scrap iron
and nauseating odors calculated to be
most offensive, was in the city this
week accompanied by very ikable
gentleman whose name befits Phoenix

energetic mentioned above, with his
acclimated Baker, is making log of
a polar trip from Phoenix to Flagstaff
and on up through the Lees Ferry
pontoon country to Zion national park
in Utah.
In an interview with General Dou-
sette in connection with his trip
through Oak Creek Canyon and the
joyous scenic jounces northward
bound we are pleased to promote him
to First Sergeant-the only man in
the corps that knows as much as the
captain, and most of it he told the
captain. General Dousette thinks in
logging this trip for the Arizona Re-
publican he may get page of pic
lures and log of the trip. If our
promoted Sergeant Dousette can't
swamp special edition of the Ari-
zona Republican with new stuff on
this trip we feel certain that Cor
poral Dousette can do kitchen police

A soldier can't make the weather

CITY COUNCIL PASSES
ORDINANCE INSURING
BETTER QUALITY MILK

A better grade of milk will be sup
piled to Flagstaff consumers follow
ing the passing and adoption of the
uniform dairy ordinance which has
been under advisement of the city
council for the past four months at
the meeting Monday night of city
council.
The uniform dairy ordinance was
recommended to the city by the U. S.
bureau of public health and the state
dairy commission and has been adopt
ed by most Of the large cities in the
state.
Among other things which the ordi-
nance contains is that all bottles, cans,
packages, and other containers shall
be plainly labelled as to whether grade
A, B, C or D milk Grade Al milk is
that with a very low bacterial count
and is produced under the most sani-
tary conditions. Grade I'D" has
high bacterial count and is produced
where cleanliness is questionable and
conditions poor Grades B and c are
intermediate.
Another provision in the ordinance
is that every grocery, restaurant,
cafe, soda fountain or similar estab-
lishment selling or serving milk shall
display at all times in place desig-
mated by the health officer a card
furnished by the health officer, stat
ing the grade of milk at the time
when delivered.
The dairies which supply milk to
the city will be inspected twice a year
by the city health officer and the
gradings made public through the
medium of the newspaper. Accord
ing to DIR. Felix Manning, county
health officer, there are only two
dairies supplying milk at present that
could come anywhere near the "a"
grade. This doesn't imply that the
milk is not sanitary, but means that
it isn't being produced under condi-
tions which are conducive to abso-
lutely pure and wholesome milk. Sew
eral milk dealers have already started
the necessary improvements to come
under the grade "a" rating which
will come officially in force the
first day Of January. Two dairymen
say they will be able to comply with
the ordinance by August |.
zone of the worthwhile features Of
the ordinance" said DR.. Manning, lis
that people will be the judge of the
milk they are getting from their
dealers. Every label cap which car
ries the grade of milk shows the
housewife or consumer just what she
is getting"

40 GALLONS OF MOON"
SEIZED BY COUNTY In
TWO RAIDS LAST WEEK

Approximately 40 gallons of moon
shine liquor and one Is gallon still
were confiscated in two liquor raids
last Friday by a combination of coun-
ty and federal officers. Frank Akin,
federal prohibition agent, worked with
Sheriff j. @. Parsons office all last
week getting evidence and helping in
the raids.
Friday morning Deputy Sheriff Art
Vandevier and Mr.. Akin visited the
ranch of M. H. Sorell, south of Maine
and took 25-gallon still, various
pieces of equipment for the manu-
facture of liquor and six gallons of
finished product. Sorell had made no
attempt to hide his plant, other than
the isolation of his ranch house from
any road of neighbors. The still was
not operating at the time of the raid.
Monday, Sorell in regular session of
superior court here pleaded guilty to
the charge of manufacture and was
fined $500.
Friday evening trip was made to
a sheep ranch west of Mormon noun
tain and Jose Gajate, foreman of the
ranch, was arrested for having in his
possession 10 gallons of liquor. When
the officers swooped down on to the
ranch, man jumped into a car and
drove hastily away. After arresting
Gajate, the officers followed the
tracks of the automobile and found it
hidden in the woods about a mile
from the ranch. In the car they found
"a gallons of moon" but the driver
had made his getaway. The owner Of
the liquor and car is thought by the
officers to be Salvador Merrice and
bench warrant has been issued for
him. Officers are of the opinion that
the driver of the car had been at the
ranch delivering the 10 gallons Of
moon" to Gajate when they arrived
and that he was making his regular
deliveries when interrupted.
Gajate was bound over to federal
court by Tom l.. Rees, U. S. commits
sioner, on a charge of possession. He
was released on $500 bond.

Many Given Fines For
Licenseless Fishing

A. E. Mann, deputy game warden
of the state department, has been
working at Mormon Lake for the past
two weeks assisting fishermen in Sc
curing their licenses"
Over a period of IL days Deputy
Mann brought 13 fisherman before
Justice of Peace Harry Richwine for
fishing without license. Each was
fined $5r with the exception of two
who were fined $40.
Deputy Mann says he hopes people
will buy fishing licenses, because the
state game department has no desire
to make wholesale arrests. One thing
that most people do not understand,
said the deputy, is that married wom-
en- must have individual licenses ir-
respective Of whether their husbands
have them or not. Children under
the age of II, when accompanied by
parent or guardian are not required to
have fishing or hunting license.

Jack Marine, cadet in the U. S. avi-
alton service. at March field, near
Riverside, Calf, surprised his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. H. Marine, and
brother George Sunday evening when
he dropped in on a 30-day furlough.
He was brought by airplane as far as
Ashfork, where he landed to come the
rest of the way by train. 1t was
thought inadvisable to try to land that
large type Of plane in Flagstaff as
there is no suitable landing field
here.
Jack has three and half months
more to serve, then will graduate into
the army aeroplane reserve. He has
found his experiences interesting and
at times thrilling. Three times he
made parachute jumps and once was
in smash-up when there was no
time to jump, the tail of his plane
catching a tree top and causing a
wreck from which Jack emerged safe,

Killing of Joe Cans

Sloan Burgen, sentenced to life i'm
prisonment for shooting to death Joe
Cans and recently brought back to
Flagstaff on order of the state su-
preme court for a new trial, was re-
leased last Saturday by request of
County Attorney Frank M. Gold.
Burgen, who is colored, was SEN
fenced last July Cans, whom it is
said persisted in his attentions to
Burgen's wife, the alleged motive of
the killing, was also colored and both
were employees at the Flagstaff saw
mill of the Cady Lumber corporation.
1t was ruled by the supreme court
that the local court had failed to allow
evidence establishing the relationship
between the two men prior to the
killing. Burgen was a model prisoner
and that, combined with his previous
good reputation was much in his
favor.

what appears to be one of series Of
house burglaries which have baffled
the police of that city, Flagstaff, Will

In each of these cities the burglar
les have been almost identical in char
acter-the theft of women's clothing.

This Negro-hater would have bus

to riding in, a coach, or in bus, In

Company's office and enough OF
those cabs will be available along
any route this person may desire.
Five persons can ride all to them
selves for the price of one. This
brings the cost down to about nine
cents per mile. There will be no
stopping for passengers and this In
dividual can bask in his own prs
iudices, while the world goes moving
on. 1t is the irony of fate to say
that the colored taxi company will
furnish a similar service at fiat
rate and the cars will be on hand,

provided he pays the amount before
he enters the taxi and not have any
risk as to a dispute on the amount
due when he leaves the car.
Cars exclusively for white folks,

are here and if there are any "fool
colored folks" who want a similar
service on account OF their anti
pathy for white folks, then they can

none of the latter kind in this com.

from this writer's own admission
