 The epidemic of measles here has frightened the Supai Indians. Not an Indian has been seen here of late. It was the measles that cut down the tribe several years ago. As usual when they are ill, they went to their medicine man. The treat ment was a sweat bath and a plunge into icy water.
 The moving picture Gods Crucible", which was shown here last week at the Kolb's Studio was greatly enjoyed. It was taken here last year and the pictures of the Canyon were wonderful.

A nation great its sway still holds,
We greet thy Stars and Stripes today;
The Stars that shine with undimmed

In mighty constellation bright;
Thy Stripes of crimson and of white
That guard thy starry fields of blue
And bind our hearts to thee anew!
Old Flag. you tell of storm and strife,
or Freedom won, of peaceful life
That ever broadened meath tbs sway.
AS DER a continent your way
You held in march of Destiny
Der lands that stretch from sea to

And then the seas themselves you
spanned
And Freedom brought to Orient land!
To-day we greet you, Flag of Right,
For now beneath your folds unite
OiSC WIN ulpOS' Aiu' anu

Heroic hearts that glow and burn!
While gathering hosts, armed for the
fray,
Gladly follow where you lead the way
For still you float in Freedoms van.
The symbol of the hopes of man
Across the sea n challenge came
With roar OF guns and fash of flame
'Twixt Might and Right the line wa:
drawn
And Freedoms last great fight was
on!
America that challenge heard;
Her answer all the world has stirred.
See! Streaming on the winds o

Her flag and allied flags be furleG
Till Freedom triumphs through tn,
