WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Early rs

administrator. f
The scale OF prices recently fixed q
has been found will not permit opesa;
tors in some states to run their mines
at a profit. This is particularly trud
in some parts Of the south and west
where: coal runs in thin ems. The re-
visement will be accomplished by re.

There will be no relief for the few
operators IN the Central fields who OWL
mines containing thin veins. {.

Under no circumstances" said Dr..
Garfield, must we allow producuon.to

is to produce all we can Just as It ia
the duty OF American citizens In the

separate men under normal .circpri.

CHRISTMAS BUYERS
Spend LAVISHLI
Thousands Throng Stores
When Shopping Reaches
Holiday Crest Here
MONEY IS MORE
PLENTIFUL THIS YEAR

The whirl Of Christmas shopping.
greater than ever before, in spite of the
war, approached its crest yesterday.
Thousands thronged the central stores
and kept opening their pocketbooks (;
Market street was jammed with hurry
ing, scurrying last-minute buyers; de-
livery wagons kept rumbling over the
streets until long after dusk, and the
leg-weary heavily laden mailman was
unimpeachable authority for the state
ment that never I'm the history OF the
Ypletide celebration have 80 many
packages and Christmas cards been ex-
changed
Today virtually marks the end Of the
preparations. And then the hundreds OF
store clerks and other servants Of the
general public win get much-needed
rest.
Money has never been more plentiful
in the opinion Of commercial establish
ments. But never have buyers been
more careful I'm their purchases. Utii-
ity has been the guiding motive for
purchases, and the sale Of useful ar
tlcles has overflowed all previous high
water marks. Articles OF strictly Orna-
mental attraction are not In demand
especially among the representative
class OF shoppers.
The rush Of mail, always the barome-
ter Of prosperity at Christmas time, is
unprecedented.
Careful estimates are that the mail is
fully 30 per cent. heavier this Christ
mas than ever before.
Only perishable Christmas packages

so happy. They diffldently offer theil

NORMAL PUPILS ENLIST
 TO AID UNITED STATES

The Flagstaff Normal School Tues day did itself proud Twelve students enlisted in the National Guard in one day. This is said to be a record for any town of it's size in the state.
 Following is a copy of the wire re- ceived last night by the Arizona Re- publican from Capt. Edwin M. Le- Baron, of the first infantry:
 Northern Arizona Normal School just responded with twelve enlist ments, making record for one place. Fine spirit is being shown by faculty, students and people. The town has promised an equal number of men,"
 In response to telegrams requesting that all seniors be graduated with full honors in case they enlisted, the gov ernor yesterday received telegrams from President Bloome of the North ern Arizona Normal and from Presi, dent A. J. Matthews, head of the Tempe Normal, that all students had been notified to this effect. It is ex, pected that the University of Ari- zona will take the same action within the next few days.
 Practically every town in the state is being canvassed for recruits. Dr. J. B. Nelson, who holds the rank of captain in the national guard has open ed offices in Jerome, and at last re ports was securing a fair number of recruits.

APACHE TRAIL WILL
 BECOME COUNTY ROAD

PHOENIX, April 25-ProSpect for the improvement of the highway to Roosevelt is brighter since the ques- tion of having the county take over the stretch running from Mesa to the forest reserve was favorably act ed upon by the board of supervisors yesterday. If this stretch is form ally declared county highway it will be up to the county to keep the road in better condition than it has been and this is what officials of the Water Users association are after.
 This important link in the Apache trail is in fair condition and,' of course, the most important part is the stretch within the forest reserve, which could be in much better con- dition than it is and should be in keep ing with the national notice it at tracts from visitors. However, if the county takes over the valley stretch leading up to the forest reserve and makes it a good road and should the county highway bonds be voted, as good roads supporters believe is al most certain, the great trail could be made the roadway it should be and would thus make travel to Globe much more of pleasure than it now is.
