A Liberal Proposition

R. H. Futile, superintendent of the Arizona divisions of the Santa Fe Railroad company, was in Holbrook last Monday on off cial business. and while here made a proposition to the direct ors of the Holbrook school dis trict which may be accepted by them. Mr. Tutlle's proposition is tbat his company will give the services of accompany architect to draw plans for the new school building, and to superintend it's construction. These services will be given by the railroad company without charge to the district.
 The interest the Santa Fe has in the school building is that of the largest taxpayer in the dis trict. Its officials desire, since the company will pay most of the cost of the building. to secure the best possible building for the money expended. In fact, it IS q lite probable that had not the bonds been already sold, the rail- road company would make an offer to build and equip a suitable bu lding for school purposes, without cost to other taxpayers in the district. The county did this in the Manila district, and that district will secure a better building than if bond issue of $5, 900 had been voted.
 Since the bonds have beenyot- ed and sold in the Holbrook dis trict, the railroad company can simply offer it's services to help in securing the best building pos sible for the money expended. It is liberal proposition and should receive careful consider ton.

Session of Supervisors

The board of county supervi- sors met last Monday morning and continued in session thro- out the day. All members were present.
 The meeting had been adver- tised for the purpose of hearing any complaints that might be offered against the proposed tax levy for the ensuing year.
 The only person who appeared was w. F. Garnet, a representa- tive of the state taxpayers asso- citation. He came to offer an ob- jection to the increase in the levy over that of last year, but learned after his interview with the board that hls objection was not well founded. He therefore withdrew it.
 The board viii meet again next Monday. This meeting has been called for the purpose of increasing the assessment on range cattle in the county. The state board of equalization has ordered the number of such cat tie increased 5 per cent.

who appeared on our books to be
 in arrears on subscription. In the
 letters accompanying these state
 ments of account. we rec1ted the
 fact that the News subscription
 books contained errors, owing
 to the lax methods that had pre-
 vailed in the office for some time
 prior to our taking possession in
 March; and it was further stated
 that we would be satisfied with
 a settlement of the account,
 whether in accordance with the record in our books, or according
 to what the recipient of the statement considered correct. In short. we put it up to each sub scriber addressed to settle either by our books or by his own.
 A majority of the subscribers to whom letters were sent have complied with our request. Some of these have paid the amount our books showed to be due; others have paid according to their own records; in every case the settlement has been satisfac- tory both to the owner of the paper and the subscriber.
 However, there are few peo- pie who have paid no attention to the communication sent them. and it is to these that this final notice is addressed. It may be that it has not been convenient for some of these to pay as yet. If such is the case we respect fully request that they notify us of the tact and they will be- given any reasonable sime de- sired.
 There may be others in this class who have had some arrange ment with former management of the paper whereby they were to receive the paper gratis. To these we would say that any such arrangement terminated on the first of last March. when the present proprietor took over con- trol of the paper. In purchasing the paper we assumed no obliga- tion to continue a free list of subscribers. We bought the paper as a business investment, and we can only make the in vestment paying one by collect 1 ing subscriptions from every per son who receives the paper.
 There may be some who have not answered our request be- cause they never ordered the paper and do not want it. They have been simply taking it from the postcffice because to do so was less trouble than to notify the publisher to discontinue send ing it. 1
 To those last mentioned, as well as to all others who have shown no inclination to adjust their accounts. we will say. that unless we hear from you before the first of September next, we shall presume that you do not care for the paper, and shall drop your name from our sub- scription list. This is not is a plain statement of our intention.
 We can not afford to send papers to a large number of peo- ole without pay. Even if we could maintain a large free list, it would not be fair to those sub scribers who pay regularly for the paper to charge them for which was given to others. Moreover. we know that the man who pays for his paper wants it. The person who does not pay, probably does not want it-at least he does not want it badly enough to pay for it.
 We shall therefore take it for granted that all who do not re spond to thls final notification be- fore Cantamhar fret dn not cara

Some Pointers About
 the Roadoir Cap

no men dislike boudoir caps9
 Of course this is a rather dIfd- cult question to answer because most women haven't any very adequate way of discovering more than one nlan's taste on the subject of boudotr capa although some ingenious debutantes have been known to discuss the sub4 ject by way of small talk The yer dict has to go down that men really do like these frivolous little French contraptions
 many fndescribab1e nothings called neglfgees, be they huffy caps or rib- bon made slippers, but with a mans characteristic feeling for the fitness of things they do not like to see these contraptions worn tnappropriatelys What man does not like to see his wife sipping coffee opposite him in the soft lace friIls of a becoming natinee2 But what husband does like to sec the same lace rufflss lowering over Che Gr1- ing pan2
 When once frdIls have so been dese- crated the charm is broken. Light pink to many men is the most odious color of the rainbow because 1t calls up recolIections of shattered iIlusfons- that wonderful creation of crepe de chine and lace that began it's career in those wonderful honeymoon days ana endeo It several seasons later, gray and bedraggled. as the easiest thing to put on when early morning duties call ed the wearer reluctantly from sleep
 The wise woman is the woman who cherishes dainty boudoir aceessories with the same loving care as party clothes. who folds them away tenderly when not in use and would no sooner wear them about the ordinary tasks of housework and drag them into the kitchen than she would bake puddinga in the best Sevres china
 This woman knows the value Of tho simply constructed morning work dress. She knows that it is much bet ter for her husband to look at her ia a simple gingham or serge work frocls over the coffee cups in the morning and long for the time when he can have that pleasant sort of chunrly chat at night with her after the chi1-= dren have gone to bed, when she Is transformed by the charm of the un- sullfed neglgee, and still wonder at the miracle of her daily transformation from a brisk and neat worzaday lady to a delightful companiou of his leisure than for him to become sated with tho vision of too many ruffles worn at the wrong tKne.

 peeially those for young girls. have fichus as part Of their construction. And those nchus. reminiscent of Ma rie Antofnette Quaker maldens. Martha Washing ton and old fashioned and quaint women in many ages, are de- cldedIy charming. With the high puff ed sleeves. the short waisted, narrow bodices the short full skirts of the day, fchus are particularly in harmony. and 1t is to be hoped that these early indications really do feretell 9 general use of this charming accessory to wo- mans dress.
 The season ox their coming Is pro- pdtfoua Season really plays an i'm of styles. IT high necksa are Introduced this spring there is far less likelihood Of their lasting than If they come in the autumn, when they are naturally welcome. So with fchus making their appearance just when every one is be- ginning to think of next summers nallslins there is strong likelihood that they will become fashiohabIe and even popular
 tsThe last lime that hchus were worn come ten or eleven years ago, they were usually worn with high necked froclxs and therefore much of their charm was Iost They are rightfulty . neck finish. not merely an additional decorative feature of the frocA And their soft white folds should be out lined against the neck rather than against the frock to be at heir best.
 But the last time hchus were in 1ashion most of them had no soft white folds. for they were often made ef fAcelored fabric of various sorts cred and co1ored voiIe and chiffon. This year, So far at. least the hchus are made of sheer white e-organdies &sslae or enffEon. Net, of course. has come in for attention. for in it's vaFi- o1s grades and sorts it is suitable to uae with almost all of the faShlonable xnAHer1a1s.
 And so far this year. too, most Of xhe f1chus have been used on the charming short waisteds fun slsirted evening froeks Of soft heavy silk So, naturally. these fchus have been of a rather dtrninutive sort not quite like their pr0totypet of starched muslin.
 Some Of the muslin froc4xs for south ern wear. however have shown larger nchus of organdie. tlIIe and chiffon Sometimes they are edged with little narrow frilIs of some sort of ruf1fng and soznetir1es they are bound with g tiny narrow strip of color.

 which she laid down.
 But, with the suspension of Par1siAn ssocial life, the French style artists found themselves with but one cus- tomer-the American woman. They might have gone on designing clothes such as the Frenchvonan would wear sin normal times; but some one started something. Some one began to talk of American fashions. Some one else said there should be American fashions for American women
