Anticipating a strike by the lumber-jacks at the camps, the Saginaw and Manistee Lumber Company shut down it's saw mill and closed the camps last Friday. The mill was opened again Wednesday to saw up the last trainload of logs that had arrived, after which it was again closed indefinitely. The box factory is still in full oper- ation and will probably be kept so.
 After hearing the demands of dissatisfied lumberjacks, the management informed the men that it would be impossible for them to grant the demands and continue to operate. The same situation exists in Flagstaff and the following statement is made by the three mills, in common:
 ''In June of the present year the Saginaw & Manistee Lum- Der Company, Flagstaff Lum- Der Company, Arizona Lumber & Timber Company and Green law Lumber Company made an advance in pay from ten to fif- teen per cent and the officials of these Companies after due consideration of the demands now made by some of the em- ployees of their logging camps have decided that it would be impossible to grant any de- mand which would in any wise increase the cost Of production, because to do so would make it impossible to operate"
 The demands which the lumberjacks made include a higher scale of wages and a nine hour day. It is the con- tention of the mill operators that if these were granted, the mills would be forced to close down due to the competition of other mills where such a wage scale and the nine hour day are not in effect.
 Some of the flumberjacks have left for other parts, pre- sumably to seek work, while others are remaining in town awaiting developments. A part of the camp forces remain ed at the camps and are now at work.
 The Mill has no intention of at tempting to import other labor to replace those who have re- fused to go back to work as
 it is simply a case of the
 mill being forced to close down indefinitely if the men do not
 see fit to go back to work on the ; former basis.
 The Mill would be agreeable Ito shorter day-a nine hour or even an eight hour day if only it would be made national so that competition would be made fair to all. A law to establish such a day Is now before congress Present indications are that the mill will remain closed down for some time yet, tho a settlement of the difficulties would mean much to the town

MISS JULIA MUNSON .s
 LAID AT REST

at IHe nome Ol ME. anu MTS.A. R. Montgomery, shortly after noon. Miss Munson had been in poor health for about two years and recently lost her strength very rapidly. Death was due to heart failure tho she had fallen a victim of tubercu- losis in the past few years.
 Two weeks ago Miss Munson went to the Grand Canyon to visit Mrs. Corb Wolfe, and rested in hopes of regaining her strength. She gradually became weaker but not wishing to return to Williams while feel ing so i'll she delayed the trip until Sunday. On the train it became apparent that she was very near death tho she did not realize it herself. When the Montgomery home was reach ed Dr. Clymer D. Jeffries and Mrs. G. Reinhart were called in and did everything possible for her but she passed away at ten minutes after one going to e. ternal rest as tho falling asleep.
 As soon as the train arrived here from the Canyon, word was sent to Miss Marion Nun son, in Flagstaff, and she hur- ried to Williams, reaching her sisters bedside about fifteen minutes before death came.
 Chester Munson, brother of Julia and Marion Munson, has been spending the past few months on the Perrin ranch near Seligman and it was nec- essary to send an auto truck forty miles to bring him to the railroad. He arrived Monday, very tired from the trip and is reported quite ill from the exhaustive strain of the trip.
 Dr. William Munson, of Chi cago, an uncle, arrived We'd nesday and completed arrange ments for the funeral.
 Misses Marion and Julia Munson and their brother Chester won a host of friends here summer before last when they kept house here for sever al months. Miss Marion re- turned to Flagstaff in the fall and Chester went south while Julia remained here at the
 home of MT. and Mrs. Mont gomery as her health forbad further school work. During the time she lived with them she won a place in the hearts of the Montgomery family and was loved as tho a member of the family. Her sweet disposi- tion, unfailing patience and cheerfulness, in spite of her i'll health, endeared her to all } her friends tho none in Will
 Hams will feel her passing as
 keenly as the Montgomery fam
 fly. While with them she had
 shared their grief in the death
 of Allan, who had idolized her,
 and when at his grave last Dec
 oration Day, sincerely request ! ed that in case of her death she might be buried beside him in the local cemetery. The cool.
 ness and restfulness of the site seemed to comfort her. Fol
 lowing her wish she was laid al
 rest in the place she had cho' 5 sen.
 The funeral services were
 conducted at ten thirty Thurs l day morning at the graveside } The cortege formed at the . Montgomery house at ten O. - clock and many atuos were 1T the procession, proving the ur- s limited friends who mourned 7 the passing of their young r friend.

JUNIOR RED CROSS

Council, announces the launch ing of Junior Red Cross open to all school children in the country. The new organiza- tion hopes to become a channel for patriotic service and inter- est to the 22,OOO,OOO boys and girls of school age in the Unit ed States.
 Membership in the Junior Red Cross is to be by schools. Whenever there has been plac- ed in the local school fund an amount equal to 25c for every mount equal to 25c for every pupil, the school becomes school auxiliary of Red Cross and is entitled to display a Red Cross banner. At the same time every pupil becomes a Ju- nior member and is entitled to wear the membership button.
 The school fund can be rais- ed by the school, or collected by subscription. In some of the states it will be raised by cities to cover all schools in the city districts. In other states the campaigning will be for a state wide fund and the enrolment of all the pupils in the state. In every case, however, the schools are to be associated
 with the local chapters of the Red Cross thru a teachers com mittee of the chapter.
 The school fund will be used
 for the purchase of materials
 which the children will make
 up into Red Cross supplies, and
 for other uses in which thechil-
 dren will have a personal share
 No part of it is to go for chap
 ter or general expenses.
 Membership in the Junior
 Red Cross will be developed
 by states. Division managers
 will appoint membership con-
 mittees and school activities
 committees for each state. The
 membership committee stimu-
 lates interest and raises funds
 for the School Supply Fund. It will be composed of some of the most influential people devoted to educational affairs.
 The School Activities com
 mittees will be made up of vo- cational teachers and other school officials. Under it's di- rection patterns of articles to be made, and other instructions , for use in the vocational class , rooms, will be prepared and sent to all the schools.
 . The plan has been developed by President MacCracken, o1 ,, Vassar, in consultation witF school authorities and the Nat '' iolal Red Cross. Dr. MacCrac ken said today:
 'I believe in the Junior Rec CDss, not only because of thu
 great sums of money it vii
 earn and the immense amour
 of supplies which the schoo a pupils, especially in our tech n nkal schools will make, but be 5, calse of it's educational and pa l. trDtic value for the children. n ''The work for the Red Cros t will teach service for other e and unselfish giving; it vii l. stimulate interest in our nat Ii iolal government and it's polio 2. ies during the war; and it vii l. afford useful release for tn If youthful energy which is stim l. uhted by the violent and mor le bn aspects of war conditions IS ard if indirected, may caus ;e under wrong conditions, grea er inrease of juvenile delinquer r, cy and crime.

coIors and Materials.

A search of the shops reveals coun- ters laden with many beautiful fabrics of silk, wool and cotton mixtures, in colors and designs of oriental strange ness. We stand spellbound before a bewitching array of mandarin crepe, velours. velveteen, roshanara crepe, velvet and the more sedate serges, and try to decide whether We can wear the lovely new chinese blue, or If mahogany or taupe would not be more becoming.
 Having selected a suitable color; We turn to the fashion magazines to de- termine the style of the new frock. Here are two distinct silhouettes, the long, slim, close-fitted lines of Rus sian origin, and the modified peg-top. draped so that it's fitness comes be- low the hips half concealing, half re vealing the deep pockets, and tapering gracefully toward the hem.

The cool, crisp winds of autumn are driving the linnets and mocking birds out, of our oaks and cottowoods in search of kindlier climate. We who cannot follow them in their pilgrim age are suddenly reminded that No vember is upon us and winter not far away. Reluctantly we prepare to put away the sheer voiles and filmy crepes, whose gay colors we have Haunted to the summer breezes, and face the mo- mentous question of replenishing the wardrobe against the day when "the north winds do blow"
 Of course. the first to be considered is the one-piece dress, for no costume is more appropriate for ordinary street and house wear than this charm ing garment. It is quite invaluable in bridging the interval of uncertain tenn perature between early autumn and winter.

plice waist is extremely popular and the inevitable detachable collar is cut long enough to outline the V-shapeu neck Picturesque buttons of all shapes and sizes adorn the bodice front, the long cuffs and oftentimes the front of the skirt or tunic. Rows of self-toned silk braid make an ef- fective trimming for the bottom of the Russian tunic.
 A loose panel front is a charming variation to relieve the severity of the frock, especially if the panel effect is carried out in the waist also, ending at the squarely cut neck A belted Russian blouse buttoned down one side is seen in the larer models.
 The Separate Collar and Cuffs.
 Georgette crepe, organdie, linen and satin are the materials most favored for the large detachable collars. They appear in a variety of shapes, square, pointed, round, while some are pleated at the neck in back. Where the waist opens on a little vest, 3 very prett' effect is realized by making collar an! vest of one of the new figured silks in Japanese designs.

Call to Arms

The bugle has sounded for you. American Housekeeper! Whether you live on a farm on in a city apartment, in a cottage or avenue residence, Un- cle Sam is mObilizing you to do your bit"
 And this bit" must be done imme diately. No three months in training camp before you go to the front. But now, today, immediately, every house keeper in America is called to the colors.
 On her banner are three words: Serve by Saving" Her ammunition is food. Her uniform is a kitchen apron.
 Every intelligent housekeeper Is an swering the call with the same fine glow of patriotism and loyalty to her country that is prompting thousands fo our young men to don the khaki For she knows the great ask that lies before her-that of so modifying the food habits of the 100000, 900 peo- pie in this country that the United States may not only meet the emer- gency of feeding our own brave boys on the battlefield, but keep, our allies from starving.
 This great patriotic task can never be shouldered by one group of women working alone. Every housekeeper in America. no matter how large or small her family or pocketbook. must CO., operate-must mobilize.
 Her campaign is not to ask her fam fly of community to slarve themselves, but rather to teach them to eat less meat. sugar. fat and wheat by substi- tuting other foods that are equally good, but that cannot be sent abroad
 Of course every woman will have her own difficulties to overcome. Our supply of food depends so much on the locality in which we live. What would be extravagant for one to eat would be the most economical food | for another Then, too-and this is the most perplexing problem of all-our Johns and little Marys and Jacks e no. the same. Each household offers a separate problem.
 Your task of feeding your family in the most economical way will be great. | ly frightened, however, if now. in a momentof leisure, you will map out your campaign in the following way:
 1. Try to discover and stop the small wastes-those little leaks that have formerly seemed too trivial to bother about
 2. Decide on the things that must be done immediately; for instance, the preserving of any perishable fruits and vegetables that may still be plen- tiful and cheap.
 3. Learn how to make delicious dishes out of leftovers and serve as far as possible food raised in your own locality. This will save transporta. | tion.
 All this does not seem much for Uncle Sam to ask you to do, does it And yet eve"y woman who does this conscientiously from day to day will be as good a soldier as any fighting man in the trenches.

The New RIouses.

The charming simplicity of the li- tie blouses of georgette crepe appeali particularly to the business wom'n. There appears slight modification in sleeve styles, for the new sleeve, though still perfectly plain at the shoulder. is puffed a little where it is gathered into the long, straight, but toned cuff.
 Some of the blouses display com bination of colors; others are em- broidered or beaded in little oriental designs. Not a few have a graduated ruffle edged with lace or hemstitched on each side of the front, wide at the collar and tapering to the belt.
