''The Stacker" at
 the Pdstinle Tonight

American descendants of all nations will find incidents of spe- ciaI importance to them in The Stacker. Metros forthcoming production de luxe starring the celebrated actress, Emily Ste Yens, and written and directed by William Ohristy Cabanne. A representative from every race is shown on the screen, and then the heads of all grouped together, dissolve into the fabric of an inn mense United States flag. the true "melting-pot" of the na- tions.
 Memorable incidents connect ed with the history of the coun- try in its most dramatic episodes are pictured. and live again on the screen, and present events are shown in an allegorical form. Civilization is shown being crush-i ed by the God of War. Justice calls Columbia, who lights the torch of Liberty. which then shines over all. A dove of peace shown on a branch, and then flies away. The branches of the tree dissolve into a fortress of steel with enormous guns. Three thousand soldiers with fixed bayonets answer the call of Col umbia, marching close in one great formidable armed mass. The picture changes quickly to naval scene, showing Americas battIeships on the high seas. Next the German fleet within the Kiel canal IS pictured. with the Allied fleet waiting patiently outside to engage it in action.
 The historic events included in this great picture of patriotism are Paul ReVere's ride, the weld ing of the nation, when General Grant and Robert E. Lee clasped hands, the martyrdom of Nathan Hale, the composing of "The Star-Spangled Banner. an d momentous incidents in t h e careers of Washington. Lincoln and President Wilson.

Liberty Fires Burn in HOlbrook

Liberty fires burned in Hol-
 brook Tuesday evening to re-
 mind the people that the cam
 paign for the sale of the Liberty
 Bonds must be brought to suc-
 cessful close before the end of
 the month. Two fires were started, one near the railroad track opposite the Old Trails ho- tel. and the other on the mesa north of the public school build ing. The fire in town was in charge of Mayor Geo. w. Hen nessey and the one on the mesa was burned by the Boy Scouts.
 Similar fires were burned in every town in the United States. Mrs. Wilson, wife of President Wilson, started the fire in Wash ington. and Governor Campbell lighted the fire in Phoenix. The  plan to burn these fires for the purpose of reminding the people of their duty to buy Liberty Bonds was inaugerated by the Woman's Liberty Bond commit tee. In this county Mrs. Julia Braam. chairman of the local committee. appointed Miss Irene Milestone chairman of the bon fire committee, and through her efforts the fires were arranged for and by their burning a consi- derable impetus was given the Liberty Bond campaign.

Lost in The Mountaies

W. Paul Geary. Sam Proctor, Vic Hanny and one or two other Phoenix notables are i n the mountains above Eager hunting deer. Tuesday morning MT.
 Geary shouldered his gun and left camp alone and did not re- turn till Friday morning. His absence caused great alarm. it being supposed that he was either lost or seriously injured. and te- lephone messages were sent out for help to find him. F. w. Nel- son, brother-in-law of MT. Geary, was notified by telephone and he had men go from Eager and Springerville to aid in the search. Friday morning Mir. Nelson was called up by phone and informed that MT. Geary had returned and all right. but no particulars were offered in explanation of his ab- sence from camp alone for two days and two nights. It is pro- bable that Mir. Geary will have hair-raising story to tell when he returns. St. Johns Observer.

Tedn1sters Quit Work

Last Monday the teamsters
 working on the grade of the
 Apache railway quit work be-
 cause the contractor refused to
 grant them an 8-hour day. The
 men had been working nine hours and were being paid $2.25 per day and board. They were satisfied with the hours and wages until some agitators from Gallup got on the job and per suaded them to demand shorter hours. The contractors refused to grant the request of the men and paid all of them what was due them.
 Sheriff Newman was advised of the condition of things, and going to the scene informed the men that it would be we'll for them to hunt jobs elsewhere; un- less they wanted to work they would not be allowed to remain near the grading camp. The re- suit of the sheriff's advice was that the men who had stirred up the discontent left Monday even- ing for the east. A few others went to St. Johns Tuesday and a large number of them returned | to work on the grade. The fore man on the work informed the editor of the News Tuesday aft srnoon that he would be working l full crew in a few days.

WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS That Haue Been Noted by The Neuus' Staff for the Edifcdtion or Its Readers. Really Worth Perusdl.

Knitting Club Dance Big Success
 The dance and card party gi-
 ven in Wetzler's hall Tuesday
 night under the auspices of the
 Holbrook Knitting club was one
 of the most successful social
 events eyer held in Holbrook.
 The attendance was very large,
 many out of town people coming in for the evenings pleasure.
 From the time dancing began until after two o'clock in the morning, the large dancing hall was crowded with people en- thusiastically tripping the light fantastic. Many who did not care to dance found pleasure in playing cards in the large lobby of Hotel Wetzler, which was kindly thrown open for the oc- casion by the proprietor, Mrs. Margaret Smith.
 Shortly after midnight light luncheon was served. This con- sisted of sandwiches, cake and coffee. The materials for the lunch were furnished gratis by citizens of the town and the lun- cheon was prepared and served by the members of the knitting club and other loyal ladies.
 The cash proceeds from the sale of admission tickets, and from the auction sale of a few cakes left from the luncheon. amounted to $2O2.25. This money will be used by the knit ting club to purchase yarn to knit sweaters, muffiers and other garments for the Arizona boys now in the U. s. army service.
 That the citizens generally l sanctioned the laudable en- deavors of the members of the knitting club was evidenced by | the generous manner in which | they responded with donations of money and other things to the worthy cause. The members of | the orchestra donated their ser vices, MT. Julius Wetzler gave the use of the hall free of charge and Mrs. Margaret Smith. pro- prietor of Hotel Wetzler, threw her hotel open to the use of the guests.

The Apache RailtOay Purchase.
 Big Body of Pine Timber

The last vestige of doubt
 as to the building of the
 Apache railway from Hol-
 brook to the pine timber 70
 miles south was dispelled
 this morning when J. R.
 Farwell, engineer in charge of the construction of the road, received a message stating that his company was the successful bidder for the timber on the forest and Indian reserves. This tim Der was sold Wednesday at the Forest Service office in Albuquerque and at the h. dian commissioners office in Washington.
 MT. A. B. McGaffey, head of the Apache Railway Co.,, was the only successful bid der foy both bodies of tim Der.
 People conversant wit h the situation have never had any doubt but that the Nc Gaffey company would be successful in buying the timber, the purchase o f was the main object in building the railroad. This company was the only one that could comply with all the requirements exacted by the government from bid l derS for the timber.
 The News is not advised ! or not any other persons bid for the timber. Anyhow, it is of no conse- luence. The main tihng is that the company now con- 3tructing the road is the sue :essful bidder, and by it's purchase the last obstacle to the building of the road has been removed.

Attended Tuberculosis contention
 Dr. J. L. Prichard of Winslow has just returned from the Grand Canyon where he at- tended the Southwestern Con- ference for the prevention of Tuberculosis. The States re- presented were Ariz., Calf, New. Colo. Kansas, and Texas, New Mexico, and Okla. Pro- bIems of far reaching importance to the welfare of Arizona were discussed. Dr. P. K. Brown of San Francisco read most valu- able paper on the Migratory Con- sumptive problem which alway confronts us with alarming dan- ger, but more especially now with the approach of winter.
 Figures from the War Depart ment showing that the draft has brought-ou the unsuspected and Regretable fact that there are in the U. s. 100000 of our young men between the ages of 21 and 31 who are affected with Tuber= culosis, and that 12. GOO of these are living in these Southwestern states, Arizona having the great est number percapita.
 Contrasted with these figures is the lamentable fact that there are practically no pubic hospital beds outside the state of Calf, and that nurses, dispensaries, and other provisions for the care of these men are lacking.
 Furthermore we will soon be confronted with another pro blem, the returning soldier whC breaks down under the strain O trench fighting. An idea O what we may expect can be bas ed upon the fact that oyer 150. 900 French soldiers have devel oped tuberculosis since the wa began.
