What a Newspaper Is Good For

Now that paper is becoming a scarce commodity-just listen to what good uses a newspaper may be put.
 A wad of newspaper is fine for rub ping down cooking stove or range.
 AS window or mirror polisher a piece well rubbed between the hands to further soften and folded with a smooth surface, cannot be beaten.
 Dipped in ashes, wad makes the steel around the grate shine like a mirror.
 Enamel is made free from burn greese and fumes under its applica- tion, and aluminium saucepans shine with wondrous luster if the news paper wad is made the vehicle for securing soap.
 We all know the newspaper is the best for wrapping blankets, furs and winter clothing, during the summer months, for the month abominates the smell of ink and the taste as well.

Wish to Build a Church

We desire to worship with our brother Baptist in federated union in the city, but we cannot, for they will not agree with Methodist on fedora tion in their church and we are com pelled to appeal to the public to aid us in our struggle to purchase and build a church of our own. Doubtless you are aware of the good work that is being accomplished by the A. E. M. church in the city for the betterment of fallen humanity. Seeing that our operations here are only kept going by the free will donations of the peo- pie of your city, and cannot worship with our baptist brother in their church, therefore we appeal to the public to aid us to buy and build a church.

With the Churches
The Federated Church

A large congregation assembled at the Federated church Sunday morn- ing. A pleasing incident of the ser vice was the presentation of forty car nations to Mir. and Mrs. Ed Parker. The whole affair was a matter of sur prise to them It had been known by the congregation that forty years ago that day, they were united in marriage in Marietta, o. Just as MT. Parker finished making the announcements for the mornings, the pastor Rev. Thos. Hambly made few remarks and asked them forward when Miss Jessie Stemmons presented them in behalf of the church a carnation for each year of their married life.
 In the evening the whole congrega- tion went to the Episcopal church to help inaugurate the mission week at that church. Next Sunday evening May 2nd the militia and Normal cadets will worship in this church in body. Special music will be rem dered suitable for the occasion and the pastor will preach sermon on "the greatness of the American na- tion." Every citizen of Flagstaff is invited to this service.

ROSENBERRYS GIVE SERIES
 OF SOCIAL AFFAIRS

The Rosenberry home-most at tractive as it is-has been the scene of a series of delightful affairs this last week. The first one on last We'd nesday evening was the occasion for an elaborate dinner of five courses and was most decidedly stag affair.
 On this evening Mir. Rosenberry was celebrating his birthday and the gentleman of the faculty had come to do him honor. As usual when such a distinguished company get together a season of wit and wisdom was in dulged in after the satisfying of the inner man.
 On Thursday evening Mir. and Mrs. Rosenberry were hosts to the card club and few outside guests. An evening of cards proceeded a most ap- petizing lunch.

PREPARATIONS FOR
 PATRIOTIC WEEK

We brought up our babies week or two ago and now we are going to bring up every citizen of the town without regard to race, color or pre- vious condition of servitude.
 Patriotic week is to be hummer if you only had a list of the com mittees you could we'll believe it!
 Several initial meeting have been held but nothing definite enough for publication has been planned. First week in May is the time set for the stirring event so order your fire works early. Even if you're not going to raise your boy to be soldier you'll want to be in the fray.
 When it comes to "get in the spirit" of things-Flagstaff is as good as any place in the land.

The high cost of living received quite set back few days ago when the girls of class 7 of the Federated Sunday school, gave the first of a series of five-cent picnics.
