VESPER

It is said that a Pittsville School
teacher is credited with writing on
the blackboard the following admon-
ition: Don't trife with matches; re-
member the Chicago fire" When she
returned after dinner some small boy
had written the following just beneath
Don't spit on the floor; remember
the Johnstown flood"
The cranberry growers below here
lost quite lot of their crop this year
on account of not having enough wa
ter to flood with. 1t was thought that
when they tapped Hemlock creek that
they would have sufficient water, but
this year hte water in the creek was
to low to flow into the canal. In fact
there was but little water in the creek
The State Highway Commission has
sent out notices announcing hearing
at the court house in Grand Rapids on
Friday, Oct. 9Th at which time the
special legislative trunk line COM
mittee together with members of the
state highway commission will meet

Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Johnson fare
we'll at the church Friday evening as
it is about a settled fact that they will
leave Vesper in the near future. A
program was rendered consisting of
songs, readings and short talks. Fol-
lowing the program coffee, cake and
sandwiches were served in the base
ment. Mr.. Johnson has not definitely
decided where he will locate, but will

location.
W. I. Strack shipped a car of stock
from Grand Rapids Friday and ano-
Their car from Vesper on Saturday.
The new law requiring town boards
to drag main roads in towns is now
IN force. 1t is hoped that the drag
law may not be allowed to fall into
disuse as was the case with the guide
board law in some towns. The law re-
qulres that the town board designate
such highways. as in their Judgment
by reason of amount of travel and
grade conditions, which shall divide
the same into sections. The town
board shall provide an earth road drag
for each section, which drag shall not
be less than seven feet in width. A
dragman shall be appointed for each
section whose duty it shall be to drag
the highway under direction of the
town board; or the board may contract
to have any section dragged. Prefer
ence to perform this work shall be
given to the residents on land abutting
the sections to be dragged.
W. T. Strack sold his farm last week

FAREPROGRAM

The Federation of Women's Clubs
held very interesting meeting at the
home of Mrs. Rogers Mott on the
afternoon of Saturday, last. The pro-
gram had been arranged by the COM
mittee on Health and Moral Welfare
and a special invitation had been ex-
tended to the teachers and instructors
of our public schools who literally
responded to the invitation. A large
number Of the members were also
present.
The program was opened by vocal
solo by Miss Marion Atwood, accom-
panied on the piano by Miss Bernice
Eggert.
The afternoons program dealt al
most entirely with health and social
welfare, and much enlightenment and
instructive information was gained by
all who were in attendance.
Dr. Ruckle gave a report on the
work of Medical Attention in our
schools and gave most interesting
talk of the work as it has come under
his own observation and attention.
His talk fully convinced his hearers
that, in order to do good work at
school, and to be an efficient pupil,
good eyesight is of the utmost i'm
portance.
An exceedingly interesting and in
structive paper was read by DR. Good
rich, which held the closest attention
Of everyone present. His paper dealt
almost wholly with the period of ad-
olescence, the child advancing into
manhood and womanhood and offered
much food for thought. This subject
as discussed by Doctor Goodrich
showed that he had given the
matter serious consideration and
thoughtful attention. It is to be re-
GREETED that there were not more moth
ers present.
The Women of the Federation were
exceedingly fortunate in having pres
ent at this meeting, Miss Murray of
the Marquette Dispensary at Milwau-
kee, who gave them great deal of
information regarding the social well
fare work as it is carried on by that
body. Her pleasing modest way in
telling Of her work won for her many
admirers.
An invitation was extended to the
teachers of our schools to become mem
bers of the Federation of Women's
Clubs.
The program of the afternoon closed
with another solo by Miss Atwood
Both numbers were rendered in most
pleasing manner and added greatly
to the afternoons entertainment.
After the program an informal So
cial time was INDUCED in and light re-
freshments were served by the West
Side Division, the Misses Hayward and
Quinn presiding at the tea and coffee
urns.
The Health and Moral Welfare Com
mittee are to be congratulated upon
the thorough manner in which their
program was carried out

DOGS AND A.
DOPT WAR
CALVES"
INSTEAD

Chicago, Ill.-Tracy c. Drake. chair
man of a committee of hotel men work
ing on the conservation movementwith
the National Council of Defense, has
asked the women who can afford to
keep pet dogs to adopt at least one
war calf" and bring it up till it be-
comes of respectable beef size. He
has bought $50 calves and taken them
out to Lake Geneva to grow fat for
their country.
Drake states that a three or four
months old calf can be purchased at
the stockyards at $40, and is as good
an investment as a Liberty bond.
Drake predicts the plan will result
in the saving of 20O,OOO,OOO pounds of

indian OFFICE
TRANSFERRED

The Indian Office that has been in
our city for some time was trans
ferred on the first of October to Leona,
Wisconsin. The official reason for this
transfer is reported to be for retrench
ment purposes. Whether this reason
is really the cause or not we are I'M
able to state at this writing. While
it may be saving the government a
few dollars it is inconveniencing not
only the Indian agent and his corps
Of assistants, but also all the Indians
who live inthis vicinity and have been
coming to this place for their pay.
The business men of Grand Rapids
have petitioned the government to re-
store the office to Grand Rapids. S.
j. Stienstra, the Indian agent, left for
Leona, Monday where he will continue
his duties at that place.

F. j. Wood and friends took a trip
up thru the northern part of the state
as far north as Eagle river last week.
They were gone several days. They
report a delightful outing. The high
ways were all in excellent condition.
The scenery was picturesque and in
viting. Too much cannot be said in
praise of an automobile trip along the
Wisconsin river valley as far as the
State Line. 1t is recommended that
those who never took this trip should
do so at the most favorable opportun-
ity.

This afternoon at 2:3O the June tion Briggs team and the c. & A. nine tie up for a game and a good contest is expected. Both teams are in fairly good shape just at present, and inasmuch as the season is be- ginning to lag, the nine innings today should be crammed full of worlds S series pep"
 But athletics in the district isn't going to receive a vacation, for as baseball is ushered out, football is going to be ushered in. As matter of fact, football is already here. Dur ing the past week the c. & A. team was organized, with N. O. Gallagher as manager and c. Lgon the captain. First practice was held Friday after noon, and about twenty candidates for the team reported. Gallagher is well pleased with the prospects. It looks as if the 1917 team will be every bit as good as the 1916 organization, and as the last years crowd went through the entire season without tasting de- feat. great things are expected from the new suad.

RESERVE BANK MAN VISITS BISBEE IN
 INTERESTS OF LOAN
Commercial Club Will Boost Next Liberty Loan of Three Billion Dollaas = Dallas Man Arranges for Coop eration.

R. A. Lawder, assistant cashier of the National Reserve bank in Dallas, Texas, was in Bisbee yesterday rela- tive to the floating of the next Lib erty loan, which will be for S3,000,. 000. .000. He asked the cooperation of the Warren District Commercial club in the matter of publicity and advertising. This work Tom Egan, the clubs new secretary, will handle locally.
 During his stay here Lawder com mented on the excellent showing Ari- zona had made in the last Liberty loan bond issue. The quota in Co chise county was $796,OOO. while ST. 57S,O00 was subscribed. Graham coun- ty fell $3O.OO short, but Greenlee over-subscribed her quota $75.OO0. In Pima county this over-subscriptiOn was over $S6,000. Santa Cruz county had a quota of S211,OO0. but the sub scription was only SS4,0O0. Arizona as whole. said Lawder. had more than done her part, and he firmly expects that she will do equally as well on the new loan.

BISBEE HIGH SCHOOL
 DEFEATED BY SOLDIERS

The Bisbee High School were de feated Saturday morning at Naco by the First Arizona Infantry by a score Of l3 to 0. The two teams put up a very good game for the first game of the season. The High boys were outweighed 15 pounds 70 the man, but nevertheless showed good sand. The soldiers kicked off first and this was returned by T. Page about 15 yards. After two or three fair gains on the part of the High, the soldiers took the ball on blocked pass and very shortly kicked from the 25-yard line. Visilia returned. but Bisbee was soon forced 10 kick. The second quarter proved fatal to the High School. The soldiers, after recovering the ball, ook it over the line for two touch downs, one which they failed to kick a goal for. Soon after the third quar- ter began. Hobbs was relieved by Coach LaurensOn. who played very aggressive football. From this time on the boys became more aggressive. Neither failed to score in this quar- ter. Bisbee started a series of end runs and line plays that took the soldiers for while. and were three yards from scoring in the last quar- ter and failed. The game was well attended by First Arizona rockies. The High School team expects re- turn game in week or so and also expect to come back strong.
