A further step in the direction of a game preserve will be taken if the legislature can be brought to see the matter the same way as a number of prominent Elks in the state. A movement has been started to set aside the praham mountain as a state game preserve and to stock this with elk. The Boone and Crockett club of New York, an organization of wealthy men interested in preserving game, are also interested in the proposal of state game preserves for Arizona and other western states and it is thought that through the instrumentally of this organization additional elk be obtained for the state pre-s The Graham mountains are an ideal preserve.

The best time to enter school is on the first day of the school year; the best time to leave is on the last day of the last term of the school year. First year pupils, that is, pupils who are entering school for the first time after reaching six years of age, should not enter after the first month of any term is past. The interruption and hindrance to the rest of the pupils of this grade is more than any considerate parent ought to demand. If your child does not become of school age (six years old) till after the first month of the term is past, or if you do not get ready to send him the first month, keep him out until the beginning of the next term.

The United States is the only country in which the son of the poorest mechanic or laborirg man may become its ruler and where tne aaugnter oi a iarmer may become the wife of a president and the mothers of senators.

It is the only country where all earthly honors are within the reach of every citizen and where it depends upon the individual himself whether he will be a senator or a street-sweeper, a railroad president or a railroad section hand, a millionaire or a pauper, a general or a policeman, a banker or a bankrupt. At the January meeting of the Board of Supervisors which commenced Monday the 6th the most important occurrance was the receipt of a petition demanding an election to determine whether or not the sale of liquor shall be prohibited throughout Navajo county. When the Board convened, Pinetop and Pinedale, each containing eight signers were the only petitions on hand and were laid on the table pending the possible receipt of the other twelve precincts. Up to noon of Tuesday the 7th no more petitions being received it was generally believed that there would be no more at that meeting and the county fathers expected to com plete their business that night. Examinations of the Treasurers books and the making of a list for jury service occupied most of the time.

Business compelled Barnett Stiles to leave the meet ing early Tuesday afternoon, and only routine business was in prospect up to that time. For some reason however the bulk of the petition was withheld until the following morning and Crosby, who received it from R. C. Smith, County Superintendent of Schools. Supervisors Hatch and Richards decided to defer action in the matter until the next meeting which will be held in February.

The petitions contain in all 368 signers which is 18 more than the requisite number provided by the statues. The Wmslow petition alone had 66 signers, 16 more than the required number. In round figures the petitioners constitute about twenty-five per cent of the last registration. At it's next meeting Feb. 3rd, the Supervisors will formally consider the petitions and verify all signatures with the poll list.

If it is found to conform with statutory requirements it will be mandatory for the Board to call an election within not less than 15 days and not more than 30 days. The action of the drys has been anticipated for some time, so that no surprise was occasioned by filing of the petitions. The sentiment of the residents of the upper country is opposed on doctrinal grounds to the sale of liquor and in Winslow and Holbrook the prohibitionists have some fol'o v-inpf. Under the segregation act, 'the vote of Winslow, the only incorporated town in the county, will be considered seperately from the rest of the county, so that even though a majority of votes in the county decided against liq- uor, Winslow would remain wet if a majority of the Winslowites voted that way. nucleus of an organization composed of the business men of Winslow has already been form- ed to combat the prohibition ceded that the country precincts will chose to put liquor beyond reach: of 'temptation, it is confidently believed that the majority of voters in Winslow and possib ly Holbrook will decide for a continuance of their personal privaleges.

At any rate the fight is to be a decisive one and the outcome will determine sentiment on the issue involved. The drys have fired the first shot and their opponents are well prepared for attack according to general sentiment the Prohibitionists will find poor comfort in the returns from Winslow.
