HOLBROOK, NAVAJO COUNTY, ARIZONA, FRIDAY

Snowfake People Glue Testimony
 About twenty dispositions of Snowflake people were taken Monday and Tuesday by attorneys in the Hunt Campbell governorship con- test. Ex-Governor Hunt was represented by Senator Ives and Sam Proctor. Governor Campbell was represented by Attorneys J. B. Crosby and E. s. Clark. Mrs. Julia Braam, official court steno- grapher of Navajo county, transcribed the testimony of the witnesses, which will be presented in the superior court of Maricopa county.
 Upon the testimony fur nished by the witnesses ex- amined will depend the re- suit of the contest. Parti- sans of Hunt are not san guine of favorable action in the Snowflake matter by Judge Stanford, and they seem to think that the chances of their man ever being able to remove the prefix "ex" from his title are very slim.

Campbell Calls for Loyalty Day

Campbell Calls tor Loyalty Day
 Governor Campbell has is sued a proclamation calling upon the citizens of the State of Arizona to gather in their respective places of worship Sunday, April 8, and ack- nowledge their allegiance and fealty to the Union. This day has been set aside as Loyalty Day, all over the state. A time when the people are expected to place their moral force behind the government by holding pa rades and patriotic demon strations. The pastors of the churches are urged to deliver patriotic sermons.
 In several of the states a Loyalty Day has already been observed, but it was the opinion of Governor Campbell that such an ob- servance was not necessary nor would have as much eff feet before President Will sons address to congress and the establishment of ar actual state of war.

Supervisors Transact Business
 Thn honrd nf oo,,n+,r c,1ron,

Supervisors Transact Business
 The board of county super visors met in regular month ly session last Monday morn ing and remained in session throughout the day. Part of Tuesday was also consum- ed in transacting business by the board.
 The most important thing done by the supervisors was the settlement of the salary question which had been pending since the decision of the supreme court holding the salary law of 1912 un- constitutional.
 In accordance with this decision, the supervisors de- cided to place all county officials upon the salaries fixed by the 1901 law. An order to this effect was made by the board, and beginning with April 1 practically every county official will draw an increased salary.
 Provision was also made by the board to pay back salaries for the past 27 months, and warrants were issued to all claimants who had held office during that period.
 It was held by the super visors that the salary law enacted by the legislature did not effect the people now holding office, for the reason that the state consti- tuition provides that salaries can not be raised or lowered during the term of office.
 A detailed report of the demands allowed and other business transacted by the board will appear in an early issue of the News.

Sonta Fe Train Wrecked

The fact that train No. 2, one of the Santa Fe's flyers, was not running at more than twenty miles an hour as it left Flagstaff, Ariz., at 4::35 o'clock Sunday morning probably prevented a disast- rous wreck.
 Five cars a mail car, bag gage car, smoker, chair car and tourist sleeper left the track on a short curve a short distance east of the Flag staff station. None of the cars turned over although several of them were tipped at a dangerous angle. No one was seriously injured.
 The derailment was caus- ed by a broken rail, accord ing to the account which reached Holbrook.
 c. H. Brown and George Morse were on the train en- route to Holbrook. Both were in the rear Pullman and neither was hurt.

To The Taxpayers of NaUaio Co.

HS dNPd9SIS UT ANNO@JO
 Since the issuance of the Call for a Special Election, to be held on April "A, 1917, to determine whether or not the bonds of Navajo county shall issue to the amount of S16O, ,0O0 for road improve ments, I have been informed of rumors that the order call ing for the election is illegal; that the proposed County Highway Commission is ille- gal; that various other de- tails in connection with the Call are illegal.
 I desire to state to the tax payers that 1 am satisfied that the proposed Special Election has been legally call ed and that all other steps and proceedings had have been duly and legally carried on, and therefore 1 wish to suggest to the voters and taxpayers that no consider ation be given to these ru- mors or reports, but that they vote for or against the bond issue, as their judg- ment may dictate. It is particularly to be desired that the issue in this special election be not clouded or be- fuddled with any legal sub tleties or microscopic tech nicalities which can best be settled in a forum constitut- ed by law to determine such matters.
 Therefore, MT. Taxpayer, if you believe that the peo- pie of Navajo County can afford an improvement in the roads of the county which will make them req sonably capable of carrying the traffic which must neces- sarily be carried over them, I would suggest that you vote the bonds. 1 believe. that Navajo County has the public spirit and such com plete lack of sectional feeling that the taxpayers will place the fullest confidence in the Board of Supervisors and the County Highway Com mission created by a recent Act of the Legislature that the apportionment and ex- penditure of the sum called for by the Order for a Special Election can and will be made with perfect satisfac- ton to all interests and to all parts of Navajo County. Yours for a Greater Navajo,

THE WAR RESOLUTION

Whereas, the imperial German government has committed repeated acts of war against the government and the people of the United States of America; therefore be it,
 Resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem- bled, that the state of war between the United States and the imperial German government which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally de- clared; and that the presi- dent be and he is hereby au- thorized and directed to em- ploy the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the government to carry on war against the imperial German government; and to bring the conflict to a sue cessful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the congress of the United States. {"
 President Wilson's address to congress last Monday was one of the most masterly state papers ever penned by a president. 1t was a scath- ing arraignment of the I'm perial German government and it clearly set forth the numerous reasons why the United States must enter in to war with that govern ment.
 The fact that both houses of congress have adopt ed the above resolution is evidence that a big majority of the members of congress are determined to stand by the president in whatever action he may deem it neces- sary to take.
 It is probable that the entry of the United States into the war will bring it to a speedy close. It gives the German Imperial govern ment an excuse to quit; that government can we'll claim that it can not win a fight against all the big govern ments of the world, and can gracefully sue for peace.
 On the other hand, should the bigoted autocracy that rules the German empire imagine that there is the slightest chance of saving their present form of govern ment, they may prolong the war for a time. But it can not be for long; the United States, Great Britain, France and Russian make too strong a combination. The days of the German Empire are numbered, as we'll as the days of all empires. A re- publican from of government will eventually supplant the Imperial government in Ger many, as it has supplanted the monarchical form ir Russia.

A Merry Affair

A gay party of young folks assembled last Saturday night at the Wetzler hall, where the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Fred Wetzler, Miss Regina, was hostess. The evening was spent in various amusements. A molding contest, using chewing gum, was much enjoyed, and in this contest two prizes were awarded for the best animal formed. Mildred Richards received the prize for girls and Royal Thomas the prize for boys.
 When the dainty refresh ments were served many of the guests had a surprise awaiting them in the form of an April fool. In select ing what seemed to be a toothsome piece of French pastry, they found when bit ing into it something which could not be consumed.
 The young hostess was assisted in entertaining by her parents and Miss Oppen- heimer.

Amazing Effect of
War Relief Activities

By the time a great many people who deal
in women's apparel considered themselves on
the verge Of nervous prostration through the
strain Of the spring there came into the whole
clothes situation glimmer of light that has
broadened into strong ray OF sunshine.
1t has created optimism in all quarters. 1t
came through war relief activities. That
seems an astounding thing TO have happened,
but it is another phase Of the proverb ut is an
III wind that blows nobody any good"
II makes an interesting chapter in the his
tory Of wonen's apparel during the Great War.
Something similar 10 it happened in England,
not in France, but the entire thing happened
only where il could happen, in this ire
mendousy prosperous country.
The beginning Of the war has been written
in chapters Of activity on this side and fighting
on the otheE side. Literally millions Of women

VVIAR relief work has given an unusual
w stimulation to the clothes industry.
W The dressmakers were not in happy
frame of mind during the spring. They felt
as if i'll luck were hitting them all along the
line. There was an offensive against the centre
and the ends.
First there were the enormous prices that
had to be paid to the French designers for the
gowns that were sent to this country as in
spiration for new work. Added to the prices
was the serious danger of not being able to
get the clothes that were ordered, through the
lack of transportation that came after this
government dismissed the German AM
bassador.
The renewed activity of the submarine cam
paign was liable to make McGinty and French
gowns comrades on the sands of the sea. One
of the women buyers who, during the spring.
was spending thousands of francs in Paris for
her shop was asked by the house of Paquin
why she did not feel sure of the frocks she was
choosing. She answered that it was the first
time she had to think of what mermads might
like to wear. The retort made by man buyer
who was standing near her was that if she
felt that most of her cargo would be sorted out
by mermaids she had better go to Callot for
her frocks.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-07-15
Consider the
Mermaids!

The new costumery shown by that house,
consisting as it did of metallic brocades, gleam-
ing fish scales, short, swirling tails and a
variety of beaded necklaces, would have ap-
pealed to those creatures whom we always
think of as combing their hair as they float
and sing.
When the prices had been paid by the dress
makers for the spring gowns and the trans
portation had proved secure, America declared
war, and the economy cry was raised.
The dressmakers and the shopkeepers who
sell clothes had not had sufficient time to
realize profit on their vast expenses for
French gowns in March, and the majority Of
them decided possibly unwisely, that they
would hold sweeping sales in order to clear
out whatever they had before economy brought
about crash in commerce. The shops were
also compelled to pay their salaries during this
troublous time, and they believed that they
could do this more easily by holding sales.
They would get cash and they would keep the
workrooms busy by alterations.

Revival Of Interest
In Clothes

This is the feeling that has come to every
woman, even if she has only piece of heart
left. The summer, therefore, is season to
be filled with intense activity and great ma
tional grouping of women from every rank
and file of human life on this continent, all
met together under one flag
This extraordinary condition connecting the
buying of new clothes and the doing of war
relief work appears to the apparel people in
all the glory of an unexpected Christmas
present.
