WORK
 HAS INCREASED;
 BUT NOT WAGES
Trainmen Show Extent oj Additional Work Per
 formed for Roads.

Cleveland, O., May 6.-The railroad brotherhoods are asking the railroads to better their conditions and grant an eight-hour day.
 The men claim that the revenues of the companies have increased enor- mously on account of long heavy ton mage freight trains.
 The men desire relief from the lorg hours of arduous labor, which have increased greatly in recent years on account of the heavier and longer trains. Official reports shows that there has been an increase of 33 per cent in the tractive power of locomo- tives, an increase of 30 per cent in the capacity of freight cars, an increase of 29 per cent in the number of freight cars in a train, an increase of B per cent in the number of loaded cars in a train, an increase of 19 per cent in the tons carried in the loaded cars and a total increase of AT per cent in the tons carried by the average freight train.
 1 A statement issued by the eXecu- tive committee of the association of | Western railways, April 23, 1916, de- clares that the railroads received in the year 1890, $1.65 per freight train per mile, and in 1914 the earnings per freight train per mile were S3.31, or an increase of 100 per cent over 1890. The freight traina crews are produc- 1 ing double the revenue for the rail- roads according to this statement by the roads themselves.
 By increasing the tonnage moved by the train crew from year to year, the railroads increase their revenues enor- mously without increasing the eX- pense of moving the train. In the testimony of Daniel Willard, president of the B. & o. railroad, be- fore the interstate commerce commits sion, April 19, 1914, he makes state ment that the increase in the train load on the B. & o. from 1910 to 1913 resulted in saving of $4,500000 in train movement expenses.
 If only one railroad can save S4,- 500,OOO by increasing the work of their train crews, the corresponding saving to all the roads in the United States amount to tremendous total
 Railroad officials anticipate that freight trains will continue to become heavier and of great tonnage.
 The employees claim that by all rules of right and justice they are entitled to shorter work day, as their work becomes more and more arduous, taxing their strength and en- durance to the limit.

Quite True

Young MIR. Hallowell was not much
Of a preacher, but, much to his own
surprise and everybody's else, he was
made chaplain on a battleship. He de-
sired to amuse as well as instruct his
men. and to that end he arranged a
magic-lantern lecture on Bible scenes
and incidents.
A sailor who possessed gramo-
phone was secured to discourse appro-
pirate music between the slides. The
first picture shown was Adam and
Eve in the Garden of Eden. The
sailor cudgeled his brains and ran
through his repertoire, but he could
think of no piece exactly appropriate.
"Play up, play up" whispered the
chaplain"
Suddenly an inspiration struck the
sailor, and to the CONSERVATION Of the
chaplain and the delight Of the audi
ence the gramophone squawked out:
"There is only one girl in this world
for me-"

southern teams. They made their
first stop in Prescott, and were beaten
by the Prescott team othe score Of
1915. The local girls consider it a
victory as they had to play indoors,
and under artificial lights. The Flag
staff team has always played out of
doors, and under the rays of the sun,
and it was rather difficult for them to
adjust themselves to the slippery floor
and the lights which they had to con-
tend with in Prescott. On Tuesday
they played the Glendale High school
team and beat them 23-17. The Glen
dale team and the Flagstaff team
have never played for the last few
years, and for the last five years
neither team has been defeated. This
is the most noteworthy victory Of the
trip south as the local girls have de-
feated their strongest opponents.
They yet have to play Phoenix High
school, Tempe Normal school, Tempe
High school, and Mesa High school.
They will remain in the valley during
fair week, and will return home the
early part of next week.
The training school at the Northern
Arizona Normal school has been dis
missed for the week. The training
school teachers are away to the teach
ers' institute at Phoenix, and no
school is being held during their alb
sence.
DR.. r. Fl. H. Blome left last Mon
day for Phoenix where he goes to at
tend the teachers institute to be held
their during fair week. He will re-
turn the latter part of this week or
the early part of next week.
Miss Doris and Mary Christy have
left the dormitory. Miss Doris Christy
will complete her high school course
at Phoenix. Miss May Christy will
stay with her folks in town and not
attend school this winter.
Miss Myrtle Mcdaniel Of New Hall
has been very i'll for the past week,
but is now about again, although still
in weak condition.
Mr.. Ulysses s. George who has

Couldn't Eliminate the Egg

Two men were in the dining car
ordering breakfast. The first one said
to the waiter:
George, you may bring me two
fried eggs, some broiled Virginia ham.
a pot of coffee and some rolls"
"Yassa."
The other said:
"You may bring me the same"
"Yassa."
The second man then called after
the waiter and remarked:
"Just eliminate the eggs"
"Yassa."
In a moment the waiter came back.
"Scuse me, boss, but just what did
you-all say erbout dem eggs?"
81 said just eliminate the eggs"
"Yassa." And he hurried again to
the tiny kitchen.
In another moment he came back
once more, leaned confidently and
penitently over the table, and said:
eve had bad accident, jest afo' we
leave de depot dis mornin,' boss, an
de liminator done got busted off, right
at de handle. Will you take 'em fried
same as dis hyar gemmen?"

She Was a Good Girl, Too

A lady was continually accusing her
servant of extravaganza without any
real cause. The servant always bore
this accusation patiently.
One day the servant informed her
mistress that the coal had been con-
sumed. This was followed by the
usual remark on the part of the mis-
tress, who finished up by saying:
"You evidently eat it'll"
The next day the candles were all
gone.
"Why, I bought pound only a
fortnight ago."
"Oh, WE'LL" rejoined the now dis
gusted servant, "I can tell you where
the candles have gone. I ate them to
grease my throat, so that / could
swallow the coal more easily"

FOOTBALL TEAM At ALBUQUERQUE

The regular meeting of the Literat
Literary Society was held and the fol
Loving program given: Piano duet
Misses Angle and Iaggy; Story, Mr.
Girdner; solo, Miss MaDle Kent; and
a duet by Misses karchner and Irvine
The program was much enjoyed and
the critic reported that the talent in
the society was developing very nice
ly. After short business meeting
the society adjourned to meet next
Wednesday.
A number of Normal school boys
spent Saturday and Sunday at the
Grand Canyon. They report very
splendid trip, and are showing many
pictures to their friends which were
taken on the journey,
The Northern Arizona Normal
school football team was defeated by
the University of New Mexico Nov.
nth. They journeyed to Albuquerque
on Friday and played the University
on Saturday. They were much out
weighed and out-classed as well by
them. The University has very
strong team and plays with such
powerful teams as the University of
Colorado, and the Colorado School OF
Mines. The Normal school team con-
sidered themselves fortunate even to
be able to schedule a game with such
team, as they are then playing the
best teams in the United States. The
Flagstaff boys were royalty enter
tanned by the University boys while
in Albuquerque, and the trip was
much enjoyed. 1t is being planned
that the University team will come to
Flagstaff next season, and play the
local team. 1t is expected that the
boys will be able to give them a much
better game, and the University boys
have said that they should be glad to
play us again, which goes to show
that the Normal school team is re
cognized by very powerful team,

very hard game. Such games as these
are good for smaller teams and the
Normal school team has profited much
by it. They have won every game
they played until the trip to New
Mexico, which makes them winners Of
five out of six played.
The Flagstaff boys are now the
champions of Arizona in the Normal
school and High school class. They
have beaten every game played in the
state of Arizona and feel confident
that they can put up good opposition
to the University of Arizona. The
winning of their five straight games
will grant them the right to put from
three to five men on the state team
and such men as Beaten, Brandt
Prather and Francis should land a
position on the state team. This is a
remarkable showing for so young a
team. They were beaten by Phoenix
High school and Tempe Normal school
last year, and then turn around this
year and wallop them both by scores
of 1877 against Phoenix High school
and 27-8 against Tempe Normal
school. These are the worst beatings
that Phoenix High school and Tempe
Normal school have ever had admin
istered to them, and these were given
by school only out for football the
second year. 1t is a pretty good
record for the Northern Arizona Nor
NAL school to win the championship
of the state the second year out, to
put at least four men on the state
team, and to beat both the schools
that were considered the strongest in
the state
Not only have the boys accomplished
things athletic, but the girls are doing
things now. The regular basketball
team, under the direction of Coach
Honn, are now in the Salt River Val
