Sunday Breaks Record.

New York. June 24.-New
York qty rose in mighty tribute
to Billy Sunday his last day in
the tabernacle. Records in evan
gelistic campaigns were smashed
by the vast thrOng which poured
all day from subway, surface
cars and buses to storm the Tab
ernacle. Attendance, trail hit
tiers, contribution records went
by the board one after the other.
Sixty thousand persons heard
Sunday in three sermons. Alto
gether 1928 persons hit the saw
dust trail. Never before have
so many done so in a single day.
ThirtS-three hundred and TWEEN.
ty-six of them came forward at
night in weeping penitent'groups
whose aggregate surpassed any
night trail hitting yet registered.
When the last man had reached
up and grasped Billy's hand the
enormous number of 98,264 per-
sons had hit the trail during the
campaign. The previous largest
number was in Boston, where
1903 professed conversion.
And bounteous New York
poured into the free will offering
more than $114,OOO to be given
to Sunday. He will in turn do
nate every penny of this to the
American Red Cross and the
army and navy work OF the Y.
NJ. C. A. This greatest of col
lections exceeded that of Boston
by more than 100000. Enve-
Iopes to be opened may swell the
sum considerably.

Americas Sons Respond.

Although it will be some time
before complete returns from all
the isolated corners of the coun-
try are available, it may be safe
ly stated that practically all male
persons between the ages of q
to 80, inclusive, registered June
5, or complied with the regula-
tons for the ill or absent.
Whether the total reaches or
surpasses 100000 is immateri-
al, for that was only an esti-
mate. The registration was ac-
compiShed without such riotOus
scenes as disgraced New York
when the Civil war draft was re-
sisted. There have been pro.
fessional agitators here and there
who have lived up to what might
have been expected from their
general conduct in the past, but
as we have heretofore observed,
they were noisier than they were
numerous. No men of standing
have countenanced their treason
able efforts and very few indi-
viduaIs subject to CONSUMPTION
have given any heed to them.
A suit to test the constitutional
ity of the act may be Instituted,
when some unwilling individual
is finally selected for military
service, but it will fail, as every
Justice of the peace in the coun,
try ought to know. There may
be a few hysterical people who
enjoy the role of martyr, who
will try to stand out against the
fixed purposes of a nation Of
100, 900, 900 people, but they viii
receive scant sympathy.
! We must win this war, no mat.

ter at what sacrifice, for no sac.
rifce would be as costly as fall
ure. We cannot win it without
an army and we have chosen the
best and most democratic way to
get an army. Few of the mill
ions who registered are eager to
fight, but they realize the needs
of the nation and have shown
their willingness to make the su-
preme sacrifice a nation may re-
quire of its citizens. Soldiers
actuated by this stern sense of
duty, who consider that patriot
ic obligation outweighs home,
peace, ease, comfort, health and
even life itself, will prove irwin
chile Those were solemn, seri-
GUS men who stood in line at the
registration places of America
waiting to report for whatever
duty the country may require.

Paper Uniforms Worn by Germans.

that what remains of the more
substantial equipment is being
reserved for another winter cam
paign.
Experts say that any troops so
clothed in the rigorous winters
which prevail on the west front
as these latest prisoners, would
be subjected to severe losses from
illness.
The dearth of soap is given as
the reason for the very unclean
condition of many prisoners.
The deterioration in clothing
in the German armies as we'll as

precautions is in marked con-
trast with the splendid appear

Don't Neglect the Summer Cold

We tcatch cold" in warm weather
because colds are germ diseases and
our vitality is too low to resist them.
To kill those cold germs, the autisep-

Traded Wife for a Dog.

Mary Anne Thompson became
a sort of celebrity as the last
wife to be sold at public auction
in England, the sale" taking
place at Carlisle on April Z, 1882.
She was the spouse of Joseph
Thompson, a farmer, and had
been married about three years
when her husband decided. to
sell her on the auction block.
This old practice, while it new
er had legal sanction, had been
followed in rural sections of En-
gland for centuries. The auc-
ton commenced at noon on the
appointed day, Til pson
placing his wife in a large
oak chair, with a rope around
her neck. He freely admitted
his spouse's faults, declaring
that she had been to him "only
a born serpent, a tormentor, a
domestic curse, a night invasion
and a~daily devil.
He then pointed out her good
qualities, including novel read.
ing, the ability to milk cows and
to make good butter. There
were few bidders, and at length
she was knocked down to Henry
Mears, who gave 20 shilling and
a Newfoundland dog. Mrs.
Thompson went away quite con.
tentedly with her new owner,
and they lived together, appar-
emily happy, for several years.
There is an insistent and grow.
ing demand for over the country
for government regulation of the
price of all foodstuffs. That de-
mand calls for a guaranteed min
mum price which will protect
the farmer or producer, and a
maximum price at which prod
ucts may be retailed. In this
manner the producer will be en-
couraged to greater efforts, the
consumer will be protected
against extortion, and the price
juggling middle men and spec
ulating baby robbers will be put
out of business. This action can
not come any too soon to suit
either the producer, the retailer
or the consumer.

Murder at Flagstaff.

AS the result of a drunken
fight in Flagstaff between two
Mexicans, Florentino Pedroza is
afugitive from justice, and Fran
cisco Avilar is resting in the
morgue awaiting burial. A re-
volver was the medium employ
ed by the murderer, and he shot
his victim through the heart
without any apparent provoca-
tion except an ancient grudge.
Earlier in the evening both men
had eaten supper together in q
local restaurant. Immediately
after the shooting the murderer
disappeared, and at this writing
has not yet been captured.

Prescott-Winslow Basket Ball.

In an intensely exciting game
with Prescott Saturday evening
the Winslow high school team
defeated them by a score of 80
to %. During the entire game
the score varied, Prescott being
first ahead, then Winslow. At
the close of the first half Pres
cutt was several points ahead but
our boys revived themselves in
the second half and carried off
the victory. 1t was the fastest
game that has ever been played
in Winslow and a good clean
game through out. After the
game the high school boys gave
a dance in honor of the visiting
team. WinsloW and Prescott
have always been friendly in
athletic and shown each other
the greatest Of courtesy.

Work Will Soon Begin.

Supervisor CressWell called at
the office Monday with a letter
from Mesmer & Rice, the bridge
contractors, stating that..the final
approval of the plans for the
Little Colorado bridge east of
town had been received from the
government, that the steel had
been ordered for shipment, and
work would start as soon as the
material arrived on the ground.
1t will probably require six
months or more to complete the
structure after work begins if
there is no delay or hindrances.
This will be good news to our citi-
zens, who have been waiting for
this improvement for ten years,
as it will open up the trade with
the Navajo reservation to the
north.

Mrs. Catherine Morgan, moth
er of Mrs. j. B. Drumm, passed
away Tuesday morning at the
home of her daughter after a
few weeks illness, at the ripened
age of eighty years. Deceased
came to Winslow about three
months ago from her home in
Chicago to make a visit with the
family of her daughter, feeling
so vigorous that she made the
the journey unattended. She
contracted a cold a few weeks
ago, and grew gradually worse
until the end came quietly and
peacefully as she passed to her
eternal sleep.
Mrs. Morgan was a native of
Ireland, being born in Queens
county, and came to this ccun-
try with her husband during the
civil war. She was the mother
of eleven children-six of whom
survive her, Mrs. Drumm of this
city, Richard ]. Morgan of Phil
adelphia, James Morgan of Gov
ington, KY, John Morgan of
New York City, and Mrs. Bress-
man and Mrs. Ferguson of Chi
cago.

earnest and devout member of
the Catholic church, and the
funeral was conducted from st.
Joseph's church yesterday morn
ing, Father Vabre of Flagtaff re-
citing the requiem mass at 9:3O
a. m. The body was laid to rest

Baptist Church.

The banquet given Thursday
evening of last week at the pas
torium was a highly enjoyable
affair. The subject for toasts
was "Railroading in the West. "
The pastor presided, and every
man present had an opportunity
to give his experience as a rail-
roader. A number distinguished
themselves as after-dinner speak
ers. The ladies distinguished
themselves in the art of sewing.
Both the juniors and the young
peoples socials were enjoyed to
the full by the youngsters.
The stereopticon lecture given
at the hall Sunday evening by
Miss Anna H. Nelson of Toreva,
on Hopi land, was a revelation
to many, demonstrating the
power of the gospel to transform
the greatest heather into clean
intelligent citizens.
Wednesday afternoon and
evening Rev. and Mrs. Gordon
kept open house to entertain all
their members and friends, which
was socially very successful, both
in point of visitors and the good

nicely established in the new
pastorium.

yited guest.

Parent Teacher Meeting.

The inclement weather last
Tuesday evening together with
the fact that three churches
were holding special meetings or
entertainments, had the effect
of reducing the usually. large
audiences at the regular parent
teacher meeting, but those who
braved the weather were we'll
repaid by the program presented.
The feature of the evening was
the address by Prof. Porter on
the subject of Athletics in High
School," and was in the nature
of a reply to previous address
by Prof. Moore in which he had
mildly criticized athletics as
taking the mind of the pupil
from the serious work of the
school. The musical program
was one of the best that has
been presented this season, con-
sisting of several numbers by
the high school orchestra, a
selection by the high school quar-
tet, two solos by Miss Conner,
and two pleasing cello numbers
by Mrs. M'dell Welch.
