Entertainments
Were Successful

The Lone Star School gave two sue
ceSsful entertainments and earned
money for the equipment of the play
ground.
The entertainments were given by
the pupils under the direction of the
teachers, one Thanksgiving and the other
Christmas. The trustees duplicated
the receipts and there was more than
enough to buy the slide.
Believing patronizing home industry
the school had Mr.. Davis and "his
boys, Of Stafford Manual Trpining Shop,
make the slide at cost of $1,000. The
pupils are we'll pleased with it and are
all getting lots of pleasure from it.
They also have a sand pile and indoor
base ball, donated by the teachers.
These, with the acting bar and high
jump, make them feel as though they
have quite modern playground.
The remainder of the money will be
spent in buying avictrola for the school.
The school attended the rally at
Thatcher in body and all reported a
good time.

SULLY'S COLUMN

The Stafford Chamber of Commerce
will some day have the support of every
man, woman and child in Stafford, and
it is not to be wondered at when you
think of the difference 1t makes in d
town, to have good live body of pub
lie men always thinking and working
on some new plan that will boost the
town and help US to grow.
The highest paid men In Stafford are
members and active in the affairs of
the Stafford Chamber of Commerce.
The best brains we have here are work
ing for our good, and if man is good
enough to manage q business at big
salary for corporation, then it is only
fair to presume that his advise is worth
something to us.
The sociability run to Klondyke
was big success in every way.
Those who made the trip will not
forget the kindness and hospitality
of the management of the Grand Reef
mine and citizens of the Aravaipa
valley, who were always busy looking
out for our comfort and seeing that no
one was overlooked There are quite a
few of our boys who are never at loss
in dance hall, and it is to their credit
that the fair sex does not develop into
wall flowers at any dance the Stafford
Chamber of Commerce attends.
The new shelves that were installed
in the office If the Chamber of Com
merce, to hold the exhibit of fruit and
other products of the Gila valley, have
been stained dark mahogany and add
to the general attractiveness of the
for the display that shows up the glass
jars to good advantage. J. M. Wilson,
manager of the Olney Hardware Co.,
furnished the staining and supervised
the work.
The material for handsome booklet
is now in the hands of the printer and
will be printed at an early date. The
booklet will contain complete write-up
on Stafford and vicinity, with halt-tone
illustrations that will show the outside
world what kind of land and homes we
have here.
The Chamber of Commerce has re-
ceived letter from Pasadena, Cal,
asking for information regarding the
Angora goat industry. AS the sec
retary mas very little information about
this industry, he would appreciate it if
some one would write him full particu-
lars.
The secretary, Joe Sullivan, has an
inquiry for hives of bees and baby
chicks from party in Clio who will
pay cash for an unlimited amount of
both. Any rancher having the above
for sale, should get in touch with the
Chamber of Commerce office immedi-
ately.
The Chamber of Commerce office was
visited by large number of the men,
bers of the Woman's club the past
week, and they were agreeably sur
prised at the progress the Chamber of
Commerce is making. The membership
book was inspected and tire method of
handling correspondence was explained
in detail, and a hearty invitati N was
extended to them by the sec 'etary to
take advantage # the Office and its ap-
pointments at any and all times.
Superintendent Williams, of the Ari-
zona Eastern r. R., promised Secretary
Joe Sullivan his hearty support in
everything, ard on his return to Globe,
would send complete reports on hay,
grain and livestock shipments out of
the Gila valley and Stafford in particu-
lar, so that we may include these re-
ports in our booklet, which is now in
the hands of the printer.

 WILL CLEAR WAY. FOR DEUTSCHLAND
Sister Ship of the U-53 Ex- pected to Act as Convoy
 for Merchantmen.

New London, Conn.,, Nov. 3.--TA German armored submarine U-57, sis ter ship of the U-53. which recently sank five vessels off the New Eng land coast, is expected to act as con- voy for undersea freighter Deutsch- land on her return trip to Germany, according to a statement made to- night by Capt. Paul Koenig. The Deutschland's skipper added:
 "I would not be surprised if the armored submarine appeared off this coast while I am in port. You can't tell what the government will do."
 Captain Koenig said he would prob ably make his homeward dash within ten days. He denied a report that he would go thru Cape Cod canal.
 Officials of the Eastern Forwarding company announced that the subma- rine's cargo was discharged at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Great care was exercised to prevent outsiders from seeing the work. Only the crews of the submarine and the North German Lloyd liner Willehad were allowed in the hold. Nothing has been made pub lie regarding the Deutschland's mani fest.
 The citizens committee, which has arranged for a complimentary banquet to the Deutschland's crew next We'd nesday, announced that a gold watch, suitably inscribed, will be presented to Captain Koenig.
 The U-57 left Brennan on October 13, three days after the Deutschland sailed,
