THE RIFLE CLUB
 RECEIVES CHARTER

The Williams Rifle Club, recent ly organized, has received its char ter from the National Rifle Associa- ton. This makes the members of the local club, members of the nat ional organization, and puts them in line to receive a number of U. $. rifles and aquantity of ammunition free. It also makes it possible for each member to secure a govern ment rifle for personal use at small expense.
 The officers of the Williams Gun club are identical to those of the rifle club and the members much the same. This insures perfect harmony and cooperation between the two organizations.
 MT. Finney is President, Charles Wade, Vice President, and F. M. Gold, ,Secretary-treasurer, and c. s. Patterson, Manager.
 The Rifle Club organized with twenty-eight members, and others have applied for membership since.
 It is probable that the member ship will reach as high as fifty before the year is over.
 A meeting of the club is called for Saturday night at 7:3O in Dr. Melicks office. This is an import ant meeting and all members should make special effort to be present.
 A requisition for guns and am- intuition will be prepared. The officers desire to send this in at once in order that regular rifle practice may be held soon.

BETTER BABY CONTEST

Mafcn the seventh, the regular monthly meeting of the Women's Club was held in the Parish House.
 Following the business of the day, the meeting was given over to Mrs. Cureton and her assist ants who had arranged a Better Baby contest as a part of the Baby Week program in Williams. This little community is justly proud of it's large number of intelligent and devoted mothers. A large majority of these moth CTS entered into the spirit of the day by bringing their babies to the meeting, and as they arrived with the daintily attired little ones, the committee realized that careful attention must be given to measurements in order that fair award could be made. | Various authorities give slight ly different measurements for the average normal child. The figures used in this contest were the average reached from the ex- animation of(4,OO0) four thous- and healthy babies. This average was taken as normal and the babies judged accordingly. That the climate of this particular sec tion of Arizona is well adapted to the welfare of babies was demon- strated by the fact that practi- cally all of the babies were above the average in size and at the same time we'll proportioned.
 The committee wishes to thank Dr. Jeffries and Mrs. Lebsch who generously gave their time to take the measurements.
 While the examinations were being made, a profitable exercise of questions and answers con- cerning the care and feeding of babies was conducted by Mrs. Cureton.
 Mrs. Rittenhouse read an in- ter 1esting article setting forth the importance of music in the baby's life. The lullabies and hymns softly sung by the mother to her child influence the little life more than we realize.
 There was suggested a list of good lullabies and hymns which every mother should know and sing to her children.
 Mrs. B. Adams then sang two lullabies which were greatly en- joyed. This was followed by a social hour during which tea was served and greetings extended to the guests of the club. Truly "A little child shall lead them, for the Better Baby contest brot out many mothers who have not before attended a Woman's Club meeting. It is being demonstrat- ed that the Women's Clubs are not clubs for the few, but for every woman who would be an intelligent mother, good citizen, a helpful neighbor. as well as a part of the social life of the community. Following are the names of those in the contest and the winning babies:
 Joseph Amundsen, First Boy James Mead Stark, Second Boy Ernest Erikson, Third Boy Ellen Ramey, First Girl Amy Louise Gilligan, Second " Anna Stone, Third |"

MINUTES OF SCHOOL ' BOARD FEBRUARY "A

SCHOOL BOARD OF WILL HAMS SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. TWO.
 A meeting of the School Trust ees was called Thursday after noon, Feb. "A, 1916, the purpose being to declare the office of Mrs. Andrew Miller vacant, she hav- ing refused to participate in the meetings for the past five months, on which account according to the advice from the office of the Attorney General of the State of Arizona and the County Attorney of Coconino County this action was mandatory under the law and not from choice.
 The meeting was called to or der by w. M. Hughes, Chairman of the Board, promptly at four o'clock at which time Mrs. An drew Miller was offered a copy of the opinion of Geo. w. liar ben, Asst. for the Attorney Gen. eral of the State of Arizona, and of the resolution declaring her office vacant, she refusing to re- ceive or read the same. The same was then handed to her counsel. F. M. Gold who appear ed for her. He read the opinion of the Attorney General and the resolution aloud. At the conclus- ion of the reading a roll call was asked for by MT. Gold, which the chairman granted. The follow ing answered present: W. M. Hughes, F. O. Twitty, and Mrs. Andrew Miller. The Resolution as read by MT. Gold was then offered by the chairman, Second ed by MT. F. O. Twitty and is as follows,
 Resolved, that whereas Mrs. Andrew Miller, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Will Hams School District No. 2, of Williams, Coconino county, State hof Arizona, has for a period of moce than three consecutive months, failed, neglected, and refused to perform the duties, or any part thereof, as member ot said Board of Trustees.
 It is hereby ordered that the said office of trustee of said Dis trict be and is hereby declared vacant.
 It is further ordered that the County Superintendent of Schools of said Coconino County, State of Arizona, be advised of said vac aney.
 On roll call the vote was as fol- lows: W. M. Hughes, yes. F. O. Twitty, yes. Mrs. Andrew Miller present. The resolution was de- clared carried by the chairman.
 The following is the opioion as rendered by the attorney General on which the resolution was based.
 Tn reply will state that sub- division 2 of paragraph 221 R. s. 1913 provides that an office shall be deemed vacation upon his ceas- ing to discharge the duties of his office for the period of three con- secutive months, except when prevented by sickness, or when absent from the state by per mission of the legislature. I think that it is within the prov ince of the Board and also their duty to declare the office vacant when an officer has failed to dis charge the duties of the office in any particular for tho time pre- scribed by law. This of course is question of fact, as to wheth- CT or not said officer has failed to discharge any of the duties of the office, with which the law can not deal.
 1 am therefore of the opinion that if the fact is true that the officer has failed to discharge the

Bartender Was a
Suicide, Is Believed

Silver City, N. NJ, April 1O,-De-
velupments in the case of Charles G,
Brainerd, the bartender who was
found dead in the A. G. ,Buckner sa-
loon at Tyrone. tend to indicate sui
eide on the part of the deceased in
stead Of foul murder and robbery as
was at first thought and so reported.
The calibre of the gun found beside
the body with two empty shells cor
responds with the wounds in Brain
'erd's head. He was shot through the
car, the bullet passing clear through
the head. The cash in the cash reg
lister. amounting to $S5. 25, was found
intact, although $25 in change in a
bag back Of the bar is missing.
The theory of the sheriff's office
is that Brainerd killed himself. Sher-
Tiff McGrath and Deputy McCart, who
were on the scene within a few hours
after the body was found, and who
made a careful examination Of the
premises, think Brainerd committed
suicide and that the money was TAX
en- by some early morning caller at
the saloon, who finding the bartender
dead, hastily took what he could get
hold of quickly and fled,
