Flagstaff Getting Ready.

Flagstaff is straining every
muscle in getting ready for the
big celebration which is to take
place July Sd and 4th, in charge
of the Elks Lodge of that place.
They have their paving opera
tions in full swing and will have
several blocks completed by cele-
bration time. An interesting
feature of the celebration will be
the street dancing which will
take place on the new pavement
with "a piece band furnishing
the music. We understand they
are going to pull a big masquer-
ade ball on the evening of the
Fourth.

Democratic Postmaster.

With the opening of the Win
slow postoffice tomorrow morn
ing a democratic postmaster will
be at the helm, the first one with
in the memory of the oldest in
habitant. VIM. Daze, jr., is the
incumbent, and he has the added
distinction Of being the young
est postmaster in the United
States in charge of a postoffice
of this class. However, his age,
or lack of age, will not interfere
with an efficient administration
of the affairs of the office, as he
is mentally and temperamentally
we'll equipped to handle his new
duties. Mr.. Daze is a native son,
popular alike with both old and
young, and he has the good will
and endorsement of everybody.
Miss Mahoney, the retiring
postmistress, has had charge of
the office for eighteen years, and
has had the satisfaction of see
ing it grow from a little cancella-
tion office in the back of a gro
Gerry store to its present place as
one of the best offices in the
state. During all the years she
gave the office her faithful per-
sonal attention, and now retires
with the good will of all the
patrons who regret that politics
made a change necessary.

HAVE A FAD OF YOUR OWN
Everyone Needs Something to Bring
Thoughts Different From Those
of the Work-a.Day World.

Have some sort of fad for the sake
of recreation, even if it is nothing more
than making a collection of moths and
butterflies.
You need something to relieve your
mind, something which will bring
thoughts different from those you must
have in the work-a-day struggle.
However. do not become so interest
ed in outside things that you en-
croach on the time necessary for sue
ceeding in your business.
In adopting a fad, select something
light and restful, not so deep as to give
you brain fag; for choice. something
which will take you out into the open
air and give you exercise.
There is nothing more beneficial to
most people than walking. Take hikes
into the country. This is better done
with definite purpose. Go and get
back within Il given time; have q def
mite destination. Walk fast. Don't
lag.
Study the birds in your locality
their names, haunts. and modes of liv-
ing.
Perhaps you get enough exercise
with your daily grind of work. If
so, take up the study of some sub
iect which will improve your mind.
Brain work is just as necessary to
health as physical exercise.
Follow the Gary system in your daily
life. 1t works out well.

White Eskimos,

Vilhjalmur Stefansson is having a
difficult time with his 'blond Eski-
mos" and by this time doubtless
wishes that they were more brunette
and ordinary. They hold up his men
and rob them of everything removable,
and utterly decline to consider the ex-
plorers a superior race. Yet when
they are visited by an epidemic of in
fluenza they attribute their misfor-
tunes to the witchcraft of the
strangers.
Hitherto newly discovered peoples
have been greatly impressed by the
white skins of the discoverers. The civ.
ilized races of Peru and Mexico re-
spected the complexion of the Span

Girls Particular About Dress.
"a tiny maid of four, a wee laddie
unable to speak plainly wear precise
ly the same costumes as mother and
father-full, long, black skirts, white
cap, gold spiral, coral beads, and
apron for the one; black cloth or vel
vet trousers and jacket, much adorned
with silver buttons, Silver-buckled
shoes, and queer black hats for the
other.
"The tiny baby pats and smooths
and settles its many wide skirts, ad-
justs its beads, and feels it's gold spi-
rails, to be quite sure they are all as
they ought to be, with as much care
as its mother. 1t must be confessed
that this anxiety of dress is much
more developed in baby girls than in
boys. Perhaps it is only another ex-
ample Of masculine conceit, this SEEM
ing indifference. The little boer, as
the country boys are called, may think
that he cannot fail to look well under
any circumstances, and his principal
purpose seems to be to have his hat
tilted over his eye at just fathers an
gle. But the little girl simply must
know that her cap is straight and her
skirt even and unwrinkled before she
can be happy"
According to Mrs. Albrecht, many of
the women and men of Holland pro-
claim their adherence to Catholicism

kjnos Who Reianed Briefly.

Sixty-eight, years is long time to
wear a crown. Many other monarchs
have hardly had time to get comfort
ably settled upon their thrones, be-
fore death or abdication overlook
them.
John l of France has to his
credit a reign of only five days.
For breyity that is hard to match.
Napoleon was emperor the second
time for 100 days, and then started for
st. Helena. Louis XVIII, whom he so
rudely deposed in March, 1915, had oc-
cupied his throne less than one year.
Francis II ruled but year, Louis
x two years and Louis VIII three
years.
Russia has also witnessed some
lightning changes in the house of Ro-
manoff. Katharine 1 was czarina but
two years and Ivan vi for year. Pc
ter II was car of all Russias for only
three years.
