Baptist Church.

Baptist Church.
 We desire to take this opportunity of thanking all those who sang in the chorus Sunday evening and contribu- ted so largely to the success of the Mothers Day program. We solicit your help and presence next Sunday evening, when we shall give eXpres- sion to our mingled sentiments of patriotism and christianity. We want to render a few well selected patrio- tic songs and have a sermon on the subject Christianity versus the War Spirit We will meet Friday even- ing to practice songs for this ser vice-S o'clock at the church.
 Sunday morning the sermon will be on The Unfolding Life We should service if you are not going else where. Church going is largely a habit and one you can easily acquire and enjoy.
 We have met with sufficient en- coura cement, in raising funds for church improvement, to justify our beginning the work at once. We need $500 in order to finance our plans that the church may not be un- duly burdened with remaining debt when the work is finished. Our friends have been generous and courteous in their response to our demands upon their liberality. Others will respond in a similar way when given an oppor- tunity. We have the confidence to believe that the good people will place ill our hands the necessary funds to complete this necessary improvement. One man came yesterday and said \ want to give you $20 on your church extension plan" I surely like his kind. If there are any other volunteers like him in Clifton won you please see me at once? I need your encouragement in this hard task.
 ]. w. BITTERLY, Pastor.

TO ALL CITIZENS OF ARIZONA:

Today we face the necessity of raising our First Arizona Infantry Regiment to war strength either by voluntary enlistment or by the draft. Voluntary enlistment is a credit to the man who gives his services and Arizona can not be more highly hon. ored than by having her young men voluntarily bring their organization to full strength.
 From the older men, the mothers and sisters, facing as they do the necessity of loved ones absent in the service of their Country, l ask aid and cooperation. In the hands of all the people of this State is Arizona's answer to the call of our Country and President Delay means the draft, no choice of service for the young men who go.
 America has entered this war on the side of liberty and humanity. Honor ing the memory of those who fought for those principles in the Revolution, who first established liberty and hu- manity as the basis of our Govern ment, it is fitting that the newest State to enter the Union should be those principles.
 It is the duty of every man, woman and child in Arizona to urge enlist ment on those liable for service until the required number represents Ari- Zona, that Arizona's record may be an example to all the States. I ask the aid of every loyal citizen of Arizona in urging that men who are liable for service volunteer now and take their places as members of our First Ari- zona Infantry. To the young men who are of the prescribed age 1 would say:-"Go, and Go Now."
 THOS. E. CAMPBELL,
 Governor of ArizOna

THE AMERICAN RED CROSS

At meeting held in the Princess Theatre on Sunday, May 20th, Bishop Atwood as the authorized representa- tive of w. w. Hush, field agent of the Pacific Division, organized a chapter of the Red Cross, to be known as the Clifton Chapter.
 The application for charter was signed on Saturday, March 18th, by the chairman and secretary of the prelim. mary organization which had been meeting for some weeks. This organ ization had sent in an application through the National Headquarters, but owing to the great press of busi, ness, it has been thought best to grant authorization to organize Chap, ters through Field Agents, that the work may be taken up at once and carried on until such time as a chapter is granted through the regular channels.
 AS there seems to be no definite understanding of the organization or specific work of the Red Cross the fol lowing excerpts are taken from the pamphlets sent out from the Division headquarters:
 The committee on organization must obtain authority to form chapter from the Director of Chapters or from the Director of the Division in which the proposed chapter is located The committee on organization must be composed of persons of prominence and public spirit who have the confi- dence of the community. It should represent all elements, including busi ness men and other men of large af- fairs. The Red Cross is not wo- mans organization, nor a physicians, nor a nurses, as is believed in various places. Its work is sufficiently i'm portant, varied and extensive to de- mand the voluntary service of the ablest men and women of the com munity.
 When authority has been granted the committee on organization may call meeting for organization and the election of officers and of an executive committee. Official authorization to organize and elect officers is issued by the director of chapters or the proper director of divisions
 Membership in the society which involves no fixed obliga tions, although it implies loyalty to the Red Cross and such help as the members can give is distinct from enrolment in special forms of service such, for instance, as the nursing service.
 Members residing within the juris- diction of a chapter automatically be- come members of the chapter unless they individually request exemption in which case they are enrolled as mem- berS at large.

FOREST FIRE ON THE
 APACHE FOREST

About eleven o'clock on the morn- ing of May 16, big smoke was sight ed from the Supervisors office in Springerville, Arizona. At nearly the same time, the Pat Knoll Lookout, Escudilla Lookout and the big Lake Lookout Stations reported fire to the Supervisors office over the phone. It was discovered the fire was only a short distance from the Pat Knoll lookout station, so MT. Ellis Wilt bank, the lookout, was instructed to go at once. AS Rangers Swapp and Rem cher were in the office at the time of the discovery, they, with Administra- tive Assistant Billingslea started inn mediately. In two hours they arriv- ed to find several cattlemen and sheep men already fighting it. After burn ing 100 acres the fire was put under control.
 The fire was started by a Mexican sheepherder who had built his camp fire in some heavy bunch grass. He was arrested by the Forest officers above mentioned and brought to Sprinserville and they then took him to St. Johns, Arizona, and his trial was held the next day, May 17, and a fine of S25 % was imposed.
 Had it not been for the cooperation of the sheep and cattlemen who were fighting the fire when the Forest off, cers arrived, the acreage burned would have been much greater.
 Such cooperation is very much ap- preciated by the Forest Service.
 MoraLbe careful with camp fires.

Junior-Senior Banquet


 One of the most unique and inter- esting social events of the school year was the banquet last Friday evening. given to the Seniors, memzers of the School Board and the High School faculty by the class of 1918.
 At 7:3O the thirty-four guests were conducted to the Domestic Science room, where a long table was laid in the most attractive manner The decor ations were all in red, white and blue and the center piece was toy ship from which streamers extended to the corners of the table.
 The four course banquet was served by the girls of the first year domestic science class and was a credit to the department. The courses also car ried out the color scheme.
 After the last course the toastmas- ter of the evening opened the series of toasts with a few we'll chosen re- marks and introduced the speakers on the program.
 MT. Hurley responded to a toast to "Old Glory and succeeded in prov ing that he has little Irish in his make up. Mildred Kelly gave a clever toast to ''The Stripes and Mil dred Cotey to The Stars" Miss Bain represented the faculty in her toast to the Wave and in the absence of w. R. Davis, Miss Hughes was call ed on to respond to toast to the Staff. ," |.
 Much to the surprise of the guests the toastmaster called on various un- suspecting members of the board of education, faculty and the Senior Class for impromptu speeches which were much enjoyed.
 After the toasts the guests with drew to the reception room in the hall above and enjoyed an evening of music.
 Everyone united in declaring the Juniors to be splendid entertainers and in wishing the Seniors the best of good fortune for the future.

The Commercial Department is one of the largest and best of the fihigh school departments It's students are all able to hold stenographic and bookkeeping positions in nearly any office.

Three seconds and a first captured from the best schools of the state. Daniel Romero took second in Grafton, and second in Rapid Cal culation; Mildred Kelly second i1 cooking, and first in sewing. During the winter at the Sons of the Revolu tion contest held at Phoenix, Saul Rabenowitz, the local contestant wor second place, and a silver medal That the people of this district should feel proud of their schools is putting it mildly. That they are the best in the southwest is self evident Everybody should encourage the Board the County Superintendent and the teachers in every way possible for the way in which they are bringing the schools rapidly to the front. Every body should boost our schools.

THE FOOD CRISIS.
Forewarned 10 Forearmed - Prove
Nour Promises by Deeds.

The Star knows in no better way for
lodges to do their bit" in this war
than for them now to arrange them
selves into kind of a cooperative
body that the less fortunate brothers
and sisters can and will be taken
proper care Of when the real famine
comes this winter. Our oaths and OBJ
legations compel US to look after the
widows, orphans and unfortunate
members. What better aid. help, sup
port or succor can we give them than
by US now looking out for these then or
probably ourselves? The churches
could likewise form some cooperative
union whereby the poor and distressed
members who had literally contribut-
ed once to the church. but, for some
reasons were either too poor. too sick
or were unable to do 30 now. could be
given proper foods byra little fore-
thouaht, wise business dealings and
expert Management. Tho Star offers
this plan to the lodges and their aux
iliartes: First, appoint two men from
each male and two women from the
female lodges to form themselves into
a large committee OF the whole: which
committee will lay plans and devise
