Children Make $40 for Red Cross.

Children Make So for Red Cross.
What we consider a dandy contri-
button to the Red Cross was made
Monday by three DEBORAH children
who certainly demonstrated their
work and hearts are in the right
place. Friday evening Little Rather
inc Kittlesby, Barbara Burtis, and
Edward Bear gave piano recital at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Bear. They sold tickets about the
previous to the recital.
They gave everybody their moneys
worth and the occasion proved most
enjoyable one. These little folks
counted their receipts and found they
had SIS, which they turned over to
Treasurer Ben Bear. The children
are pupils Of Miss Katherine Hust-
vedt. Certainly this contribution Is
dandy and these children are to be
commended very highly for their pa
triotic efforts.

..Flora Bella" Great Show.

One of the best shows seen here in
years appeared at the Grand last
night in Flora Bella" The cast was
a strong one, headed by Miss Rhoda
a pretty blonde who could
sing in a most pleasing way. The
company was one of the best balanc-
ed ever appearing here, and they con
tributed no end of fun to the fair
sized audience present. On account
of the war tax 10 cents had to be
paid on each $3.50 ticket. The house
was not packed, but nevertheless a
pretty good sized audience was pres
ent and went home with the satisfac-
tion of seing one of the best plays
ever appearing here.

The Most Difficult Language

In spite of the a large number of Engishmen for some weeks have been carrying discussion in the London Observer to the most difficult lan guage.

The consensus of opinion though. be that Chinese and Russian divide honors difficult language championship. Basque that curious. indescribable language spoken oy the natives of Southwestern France and Northern Spain is referred to with defer ance by the difficult language hunters. We have had in Arizona and in all regions of the west where sheep raising is an industry many natives of the Basque provinces, always sheep herders. If they could not readily learn English or Spanish they might well be deaf and dumb. for local linguists Spanish and French not able make head tail of the Basque speech. though it looks and sounds like both French and Spanish and yet is neither
 One of the contributors the difficult language symposium humorously decides that the American language is no slouch puzzler, and in proof he cites an instance of its perplexities quoting from a gentleman who has used more of it lately than any of his fellow citizens and who is admitted by them to be an authority regarding the American tongue.
 The correspondent writes the Observer:
 Sir: If agree that speech exists express thought must also agree that the American has claims to be considered the difficult of the sophisticated languages in today. Witness the diversity of the interpretations placed by competent critics the peace recently promulgated by president of the United States. You, sir. differ widely from MT H. w.

FISHING AT LAKE
 ROOSEVELT UNDER
 J. $. REGULATIONS

Unrestricted fishing in Roosevelt lake is now a thing of the past and all fishermen must hereafter conform with the provisions of the state game laws regarding fishing. An agreement has recently been drawn up between the reclamation service, the forest service and the state game warden to provide for the strict enforcement of the law Forest and reclamation officers will so far as is consistent with their reRu- lar duties, report all offenders to the state game warden for prosecution.
 This agreement grows out of a fed eral law providing that fishing in a "ational bird refuge must be done only in accordance with the state laws Roosevelt lake is within sucn q it walton. The main provisions of the law are as follows:
 No fishing can be done without a license and aliens or non residents must procure non-residents' licenses The legal bag limit is 25 pounds per day. or in possession at one time. and fish must be caught with q hook and line attached to a rod or held in the hand. The selling of fish is prohibited. There is no closed season
 IL has also been agreed that any fur ther stocking of the lake will be done only with the approval of the United States bureau of fisheries. This pro- cedure has been adopted in order to prevent the introduction of undesirable species and it is expected that applica- tions for fish from private parties will be submitted through the forest super visor at Roosevelt Ariz
 The new agreement. according to forest officers. will materially increase the funds of the state game and fish department and thus allow it to extend Its activities in game protection.
 Many fishing parties are now arriv- ing at the lake and good catches of bass are reported

AMERICAN LABOR NOW IN POLITICS

Bear in mind this added burden of pense is not like that occasioned by q Safety Ap- pliance Law imposed by congress in the exercise of it's police power. If, the labor leaders say. this IS class question: is this law. thereby. class legislation? How is the matter of employees wages to be settled after November first. when the inquiry commission will have reported and when the dura- ton of wage increases provided by the present law will have expired?
 Yet all these questions overshadowed by the broad. permanent aspects of the situation. In- dustrial wage disputes have politics.

 It is all sudden, radical change in the opera ton of our institutions Perhaps congress perhaps the people, want this change.
