A LITERARY FEAST

Shakespeare Club met last Monday
night at the home of Mrs. Fronske.
Despite the weather a goodly num-
Der were present and the review of
the recently studied book, mill on
the Floss" brought out many interest
ing phases Of George Eliot and her
books studied thus far by the Club.
We merely pass along the suggestion
that lover Of George Eliot will find
a most interesting article on mag
gle Fulliver" in the "Woman's Home
Companion" for February.

Perhaps the best sign of good feel
ing towards our Coconino Sun is the
fact that unintentional mistakes are
not dwelt upon to any great extent.
Our dinner parties of last week re-
eeived jolt in the press and came
out nth the courses all mixed.
Naturally we regretted it but the
chief point as we stated earlier is that
no one took us to task about it.
Thanks.

MAYOR FINLEY ADDRESSES
WOMAN'S CLUB ON CIVICs

The Presidents call for more troops
on Saturday last met with cordial re-
Spouse and the most representative
gathering Of women in Flagstaff for
some time was the result.
The meeting of the Advisory Board
at one thirty, dispensed with an un-
usual amount Of preliminary work
and when the club opened at 2, the
routine was taken up quickly and
systematically. New names were
voted on and monthly reports Of vari-
Gus departments were given at the
close of the business session for the
month, the President introduced our
new Mayor, Mr.. Finley, to the ladies
and splendid talk along civic lines
was given and most heartily applaud
ed by the club. Among the many
good points made was to the effect
that unless all organizations were
working tremendously for the good Of
the town, all effort was vain.
Good roads, good shoveling, and
much Showing" by the women as well
as the men would produce results.
When questioned as to the help the
city might give to the Library, if the
women responded to other good
causes, Mr.. Finley, while not pre-
pared to give any definite word, yet
the impression left was that he would
stand back Of any good cause. The
ladies extended vote Of thanks to
Mr.. Finley in lieu of the fact that he
had been instrumental in pushing the
snow cleaning proposition.
The general feeling at the close of
the Mayors speech was that the
women stood ready to cooperate in
every way with the various projects
for Flagstaff's welfare.
At $3.50 the annual election Of Of
ficers for the next club year was held.
Nominations for the several Offices
were quickly made and the report Of
the tellers brought round after round
Of applause as the names Of the win
ming candidates were announced.
While all the offices seem to be most
ably filled, the choice of next years
President seems unusually felicitious.
Mrs. W. F.. Sisson will hold that Office
and the club will maintain its stand
ard Of excellency all are assured.

MR.. AND MRS. MARLAR GIVE
BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT


Two of the largest social functions
given in flagstaff for some time were
the lovely dances on Monday and
Tuesday evenings with Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Marlar as hosts.
The occasions demanded more than
usual interest for society folks, as
Flagstaff was introduced for the first
time to the fine new dancing hall, re-
Gently erected ON Railroad avenue by
Mr.. Marlar.
At $3.50 the guests were received by
Mr.. and Mrs. Marlar and the many
expressions Of surprise and delight at
the brilliantly lighted hall with its
beautifully polished floor, were evid-
ences at once Of the success Of the
evenings. In little alcove above the
dancers at the north Of the hall, the
musicians for the evening, dispensed
the best Of music which was another
feature altogether necessary to the
pleasure Of the guests. Many lovely
gowns brought forth for the first time
added vivid touch Of color,>to the
indoor scene though many guests had
been detained at home on account of
the raging blizzard that was unkind
enough to come so inopportunely. A
vocal and violin number by Mr.. and
Mrs. Brown during the intermission
entertained the guests and gave them
too, respite from dancing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marian were heartily
congratulated on their successful af-
fairs and their guests, numbering over
two-hundred bid them adieu with
hopes for the repetition of many more
pleasant occasions such as these.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. j. Sullivan enter
tanned their Five Hundred club last
Thursday evening. Six tables played
until the delightful lunch was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rosenberg had as
dinner guests on Sunday last, DR.. and
Mrs. R. H. H. Blome, Miss Nora
Blome and Miss Lydia HUI.

CARD OF THANKS

We wish the dear, good people Of

Tuesday morning Of this week, the
entire school, including the training
department, were entertained in as
sembly by talk from Mr.. Blom-
berg, representing the Edison inter-
ests, and several pieces played on the
new Edison diamond-disc photograph.
Mr.. Blomberg has for many years
been connected with Mr.. Edison in his
laboratories, and was thus qualified to
give us much valuable information
about the great electrical-and music
al-wizard which we should probably
otherwise never have received. One
thing of particular interest was that,
while newsboy of fourteen, the train
conductor boxes his ears so severely
that several of the bones of the outer
ear were broken. Because Of this mis-
fortune, Mr.. Edison invented a device
whereby his inner ear is made very
susceptible and he can hear many
more overtones than the ordinary per-
son. For his own use, Mr.. Edison has
made a piano, which he considers the
most pergent in tone in the world al
though he does not intend putting it
on the market. The pieces played on
this new dfamond-disc Edison were
among the best in the musical world,
large share Of them being songs by
the leading stars in the Metropolitan
Opera House in New York City. But
as well as songs, several instrumental
selections were rendered, one Of them
being a cornet solo "Bartleet's
Dream" which Miss Gardner thinks
was the best rendered Of all. "An Old
Sweetheart Of Mine" by James Whit
comb Riley was recited by one Of the
best speakers in America who is par
ticularly famous because of his clear
diction. The song which was perhaps
the best liked by the audience as a
whole was a simple ballad 'Take Me
Back Kathleen" composed by Ger
man born Virginian to his Irish wife.
Mr.. Blomberg says it is Mr.. Edison's
favorite selection.

his return is uncertain.
Friday night the students living on
the campus as well as quite a num-
Der from town enjoyed dance in the
Dining Hall. The music was furnished
by the Perry children"
The latest notice to be placed in the
bulletin board reads as follows:
Thompson starts lamp shining.
Hangs sign on Pratt Udall." A glance
at Pratt's left eye explains matters.
Probably as gentle reminder to
the girls, probably just for fun, about
half of the dormitory boys appeared
at dinner Sunday with their beauti-.
full faces decorated with beauty spots.
Mrs. Winert, of Winslow, a sister of
our efficient and good natured cook,
Mrs. Hanley, is the latest arrival to
enter in the student ranks. She is an
elderly lady and has had some ex-
perience in teaching school, it is said.
Since the storm of Tuesday, snow
fighting in all its form has been the
leading student activity. No one
pretends to go or come from meals
any more without at least one genu-
inc rolling in the snow.
On account Of the severe storm Tues
day, Misses Clickener, Gardner and
Stemmons Of the faculty were COM
PEELED to remain on the campus over
night. They chose Bury Hall as
suitable rooming house.
Leslie Mcdaniel, perhaps the most
picked on of any of the dormitory
boys, covered himself with glory
Wednesday noon when he put Ralph
Dickinson in the snow, carrying him
clear down the Dining Hall steps to
do it.
Monday morning roll was called
and a yes and no vote taken as to who
would prefer weekly chorus practice
on Monday mornings and who would
prefer to study. By far the larger
number chose the chorus practice,
showing that the students are for the
most part musically inclined.
Word has been received from Tenn
pc that the teams which are to meet
this school in debate this year have
been selected. A further statement
is to the effect that they have blood
in their eyes. People here who are
acquainted with our opponents have
good opinion Of their ability and the
dual clash will probably he a hard
fought one.
Word comes from Tombstone that
at recent meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Tombstone National
bank, Thomas H. Brandt was appoint

1916 graduate Of our commercial de-

known in these parts particularly as

news is welcome to his friends here.

A LESSON IN BREAD.

This war is changing political
opinions so rapidly that when it
is over we will see whole new
philosophers being taught. There
are some things that ordinary
people cannot understand about
political theories, and one of
these is being driven home by
the food conservation program.
Here it is; In Detroit bread is
selling for thirteen cents loaf.
Across the river at Windsor.
Canada, the same bread is selling
for nine cents loaf Why does
mt the Windsor bread cross the
river and flood the Detroit mar
ket and reduce the cost of living
to the people of Detroit? Moth
ing but a little important duty
of % per cent.
An imaginary line separates
Canada from the United States.
Pretty much the same kind Of
people live on both sides of the
line. Canada raises the same
kind of wheat that Michigan does
and It costs just as much to mill
it in Windsor and 6ake it in De-
troit. But our statesmen at
Washington make us, the plain
people, who live in Detroit, pay
more than 80 per cent more for
our bread than Canadians do for
theirs.
This is only one incident out
OF many which show how un-
just is a protective tariff. The
American people have been pay
ing tribute to the trusts and
manufactures of this country and
have built up giant fortunes by
their blind obedience to the
