 Road contracts for grading and crowning will soon be let at The Cedars, Nine Mile Draw, for fiat just south of Show Low, Scott Flat, Dry Lakes and the La Roux Wash.
 The county engineer will ap- preciate all reports of the condi- tion of the roads.

SerUices in Nev Church,

The new l.. D. s. church is so nearly completed as to permit the holding of services in the auditorium last Sunday after noon. The speakers at these servlces were President S. F. Smith, of Snowflake. and MT. Jno. R. Hulet, of HoIbrook.
 At this time the members of the church voted to tender the church to the local school board for the use of the higher grades, the need of additional room for school purposes being urgent. The sentiment in favor of this action was practically unanimous.
 This liberal proposition by the members of the church entities them to the hearty thanks of every patron of the schools; it lnsures increased facilities for the schools without cost. and it clarifies situation which might otherwise be dark. The school trustees have already accepted the offer of the church people, and as soon as the painters have finished the interior of the build ing. it will be put Tn use by the school. This will probably occur the first week in next month.

NICHOLSON ISSUES
CALL TO ALL MEN
OF QUAKER BELIEF

The time has come for the Society
of Friends of America to go forward
All Christendom is yearning after an
expression of the Christian faith that
corresponds nightly to the Quaker
type. Real Christianity is at low
ebb and the whole world seems ripe
for higher spiritual standards.''
This is part of the call sent out to
men of the Quaker church Of the
country. It appeared today in the
American Friend. The call is for the
National Conference Of Men Friends
The call was written by S. E. Nichol
son chairman of the general commit.
tee and approved by the members.
The purpose of the conference is ex
planned in the following paragraphs
from the call:
Friends have exacted no service
have opened their doors wide for their
women to band together as ladies' aid
societies. The result has been that all
too few Of our men have interested
themselves in any tangible, construct
i've way in behalf of our church prob
lens.
In many meetings the women out.
number the men two to one at the
Sabbath morning services for worship
while in the majority of our meetings
far too many of our strong, virile men
never present themselves at a bust
ness session.
If the roll were called Of the
strong young men who have been lost
to Friends within the past twenty-five
years through their inability to feel
that a mans job awaited them if they
remained in the church, we would
have presented rather startling pic.
ture OF a condition which the church
has thus far refused to face seriously.

for Record.
EACH SHARES COST
Eleven of Jurists Voted to
Uphold RoOsevelt's CHARGE
of Barnes League With
Charles Murphy.

This is the statement of Col.
Roosevelt on July %, 19N. upon
which William Barnes based his
suit for libel:
In New York states we see at
its worst development the system
of bipartisan boss rule. The out.
come of this systeum is necessarily
that invisible government which
the Progressive party was in
large part founded to oppose. 1t
is impossible to secure the eco
nomic, social and industrial reform
for which we are pledged until
this invisible government of the
party bosses working through the
alliances with crooked business
and crooked politics Is rooted out
of our government system.
THE interest of Mr.. Barnes and
Mr.. Murphy are fundamental and
when the issue between popular
right and corrupt machine rule is
clearly drawn the two bosses will
also be found fighting on the same
side, only or covertly giving one
and another such support as can be
with safety rendered.
They really form the all power
full invisible government which is
responsible with the new admin
istration and corruption in the
public offices Of the state"
