Head IN
HIGH SCHOOL IS
TO GO TO COAST

Anna Belle Driskill. music and art
supervisors at the high, school,, has
resigned her position wIth the Doug :
las schools and has accepted an Of
fer in the San Diego city schools
for next year.
Miss Driskill has been music and
art teacher at the local school for
nine years and has built up a fine
reputation as being first class ifl-
structor as well as being instru-
mental in placing the Douglas high
school second to none among the
schools of the state in the line of
music.
In all the musical contests held
among the schools of the state
Douglas students have ranked well
up among the best each year even
in competition with schools having
twice and three times the enroll
ment.
In accepting the offer in the San
Diego schools, Miss Driskill receives
the maximum salary paid in the
system, a figure considerably higher
than she has been receiving here.
Boards OF education in several
other southwestern cities have offered
Miss Driskill positions during the
past few years, in recognition of her
worth as music supervisor OF high
attainment, but she has chosen to
remain in Douglas until the Cali
for1lia school offered her the super
visory position in the Memorial high
school, enrolling more than 1000
students -.
Besides having charge of the high
school glee clubs, the music and art
work, Miss Driskill has produced some
of the best operettas ever, staged in
Douglas, such as "Pepita," Pickles, .

MILLER PRAISES
TRADE AT Home
MOVE IN FLOUR

P. G. Spilsbury, president OF the
Arizona industrial congress, is in
receipt of a letter from the presi-
dent of the Phoenix Flour Mills, in
which he praises the cooperation
offered by The Industrial congress
during the past year. #''
."P. G. Spilsbury, President,
Arizona Industrial congress,
| phoenix, Arizona.
If"Dear Mr.. Spilsbury:
"One of the largest grain crops
harvested in Arizona during the
past ten years will soon be com
pleted, and the producers will have
received about $1,750,O0O in cash for
their crops.
Due to the splendid cooperation
received from the Arizona Industrial
congress, and with the assurance OF
further cooperation, the Arizona
mills have felt justified in paying a
higher price for the Arizona grains.
and bought in excess OF their normal
requirements.
I'VE conservatively estimate that
due to your cooperation, the pro-
ducers of this state have received
$175,0OO more for their grain crop
this season, than they would other
wise have received. Truly WORTH
while service on your part. + 49,,
"A recent survey made, by your Of
flee disclosed the fact. that during
the past year rs per cent of the
flour sold IN this state was shipped
from outside points Recent expert
mentS made at the University OF,
Arizona show Arizona flour to- be of
the highest quality, comparing favor
ably with any. of the outside flours,,
and that it will meet all baking re-
quirements. Tile Arizona mills will
have to increase their production ,ot
flour at least SO per cent this year
in order to move the large amount
iof grain they have purchased this
season.
Believe you will be interested in
being advised chat during the past
month our firm has received orders
for cars of flour from two mining
companies and two mercantile es-
tablishments. none of whom have
handled Arizona flour during the
past year. This is result of your
cooperation.
"It may also be of interest to
you, that our company has paid the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
in excess of $4,000 this season for.
moving grain from producing sections,
TO our various warehouses, and we
estimate that we will pay $4,000
additional freight dfor moving the
grain from our warehouses to our
mills. In this connection we are
pleased to acknowledge the co-opera-
ton received from the Southern Pa
cific in the way of granting lower
rates on grain and mill products.
Assuring you of.tour appreciation
of your cooperation we are, 15sssH !
VERY truly yours,
Joe MELCzER,
President" :"

Starts To
Pave Sidewalks On
Thirteenth Street

An agitation has recently been
started among the residents Of Thir-

petition will be circulated for side.
walks on that street.
1t is the wish OF the property
holders on that street that paving
work begin in the near future.
According to figures the sidewalk
project would cost only a small sum,
and that sum may be paid in INSTALL
ments over the period of a year. The
total cost of the sidewalk to each
property owner would be approx
mately $75 and this divided between
the II months would mean little
more than SIS each month.

BLAZING MOUNTAIN CABIN
 LIKE BIG AERIAL TORCH
Cottage on White Oak Precipice
 Owned By Harry Slopcr De- stroyed by Fire
(Special to The Heraldl

Plainville, Jan. S1.-A Ku kluX klan scare was created here last eve ming when the fire which destroyed the Sloper cabin atop White Oak mountain was mistaken for a fiery cross. For while there was con- siderable excitement over the sup posed activity of the Klansmen. but it was soon learned that the glow. which could be seen for miles, was only the dying emanation of an al ready dilapidated building.
 The cabin, which is at the summit of the mountain, was built by Harold Judd of New Britain about Is years ago, before the days of prohibition. ' as Mr. Judd said today. With the coming of the World War and the Volstead law it fell into disuse. Young vandals broke in and stripped the building of every article of value. smashed windows and doors and left the place a virtual ruin, which con- dition was accentuated by previous fire, during which half of the roof was burned away.
 When Mr. Sloper was notified last evening of the fire, he said, Let it burn" Nothing else could have been done, as the cabin was inacces- sible to fire fighting facilities.

The Kelso Brothers live up to every bit of the advance accounts with which this notable act has been heralded. These two con- edians, who for a number of years were associated with Clark and McCoullogh. held the audience al ternatingly laughing and applaud ing with their brilliant repartee of humor and situations in which they participate.

Revue is known in vaudeville as a unit" show and it includes Billy Delisle and Furtell's Lions and skit call ed "Outside the Circus" Captain FurteIl. who performs with the jungle lions. is said to be the youngest lion tanner in the world.
 Other acts on the bill included Mary Marlowe in a snappy routine of syncopated melodies. The girl has fund of personality and soon won her way into the hearts of her audience. Fridkin and Rhoda Co. offer a colorful and versatile turn that includes music, song and dance.
 The program for the last half of the week will bring to the screen Richard Dix in Paradise for Two" and another big bill of vaudeville hits.

Andrews Launches His Latest
 Attack on Liquor

Washington, Jan. 31 R-A new war against moonshiners was opened today by Assistant Secretary An drews, the dry chief. In letter of instructions to pro- hibition administrators he called at tention to the old revenue laws against unlicensed manufacture of liquor.
 General Andrews said he was fac ing an increasingly dangerous moon- shine problem. The products of illicit distillers are flooding the mar ket in many sections of the nation, he said, and the supply apparently is improving. Information has reach ed headquarters here that a good stock of this product is being sold.
 Amplifying his recent letter to the senate on the necessity for under cover operations, General Andrews said the government must be per- mitted to use secret agents if it Is to be held responsible for law en- foccelnent.
 Agents are warranted in pursuing these practices to get evidence against bootleggers, he said, so long cs they do not encourage, trap or entice."

"MICHAEL STROGOFF"

"AIichael Strogoff" opened at the New Palace last night to capa- city audiences and from the enthu- siasm that was demonstrated by the hearty applause that the picture re- ceived at the beginning and at the end, it is certain that Michael Stro- golf" will break all records of any picture that ever played the city.
 Michael Strogoff will be shown four times daily at 200, 4:00, 6;00, and 500.
 M. Defas in therole of Feofar, the Grand Khan of Tartary, in the fla nous Jules Verne melodrama, is the living embodiment of the coldly cruel Oriental who watches without the flicker of an eyelash the torture of man or woman. Seated on his throne in the audience tent at the gyeat camp of the Tartar tribesmen, surrounded by his giant bodyguard, his surroundings the very acme of barbaric splendor, shown on the screen in full color, he presents one of the most romantic and pictur- csque figures ever shown in a photo drama. His characterization, make up, manner, gestures, and naughty arrogant msolence are such as to make him shrinking and never to-be- e-forgotten figure.
