At meeting of the people of Red Lake Valley, July 15, def- nite plans were made for a big barbecue to be held at Red Lake, August Is.
 The object of the barbecue is to inform the public, first hand, of the progress of Red Lake and it's agricultural possibilities.
 MT. Harry Boulin was elect ed chairman of the meeting and Mrs. c. B. Hume, Secre- tary. All committees were chosen and details were decid- ed upon so that there can be no chance of any of the plans mis- carrying.
 There will be several con- sessions and a ball. game as we'll as the usual program of a barbecue dinner and various races. The soft drinks and dancing pavilion concessions were sold to Red Lake people in order to assure the best in these lines. Parties wishing other concessions, in no way conflicting with these should apply to Harry Boulin.
 MT. Ed Kinds will be head barbecuer and will have as his assistants, Ernest Kincannon, Emmet Kincannon, Orville Hardie. The fire will be of juniper wood only to impart the most delicious flavor to the meat.
 Other details were worked out and nothing will be lacking that can add to the success of the affair. The program and other details will be published later.
 The following are the com mittees appointed.

MANY ATTEND DEM.
 DISSIPATION LECTURES

Miss Ethel Hewey, culinary expert, who was at Rabbits Store Monday, Tuesday, We'd nesday and Thursday of this week, attracted many listeners daily. In fact, nothing in Will Hams has been so we'll attended as her lectures, since last fall when the Fashion Show and Miss Hewey held the attention of about one hundred people daily for a week.
 Miss Hewey was favorably remembered and the demon stration room was filled to ca- pacity each afternoon.
 The entire program was ap- propriate for war times and the lessons on preparing economi- cal and tasty dishes very time ly.
 The hospitality of the store has been extended toall present Each day punch, waters and candy were served and when five o'clock arrived, all too soon for most of the ladies, those living any distance from the store found that MT. Spell mire had provided automobiles to take them home.
 Variety added much to the interest every day. Sometimes something new was announced each hour. On Monday Miss Hewey discussed "Conserva- ton" and "The Causes of Be ginners Failures" She gave several lessons on preparation and cooking of different things with fewer eggs than usually used. During the afternoon Miss Hewey cooked a large,

A CORRECTION

In last weeks News R. A. Nickerson was credited with stating that he is not a member of the State Coun- cil of Defense, but merely a member of a subcommittee. This was an error due to a mis- understanding on the part of the editor, of the form of the organization of the State Coun- cil of Defense, and of a state ment made by MT. Nickerson. While not called to the meeting at which the State Council of Defense was organized, MT. Nickerson's appointment by Governor Campbell, to the committee on Mines and Manu- factures does make him mem Der of the State Council of De- fense.

SUNDAY BALL GAME
 WAS A TRYOUT

The ball game, Sunday, was really tryout for the subs as the work of lining up for the next game had to be done. The score was, Town II, Santa Fe 10.
 The game next Sunday will be hot one if reports concern ing the speed of the Kingman boys are true. It is said that in Kingman the sand in the ball park is so warm that the team just naturally has to hustle or roast.
 There is a possibility of a game here with Mesa, State champs, on the 9th of August The local team wishes to play on the 5th instead and will dc so. if arrangements can be made.

Fifteen members tried their eye sight and bumped their shoulders at the gun shoot, last Sunday morning, in competi. tion for the medals given by the, different powder companies The Clubs new location at the fair grounds is an ideal one, al- though some of the shooters claim that the trap is no good. the blue rocks wont break, CT else there was no shot in the shells they were using. Any way, those who attended, had one glorious time, even the trap man coming in for his share when couple of the boys let loose with their twelves and punctured the twelve inches of dirt behind the trap house.

MAY ELECTRIFY THE
 LOGGING ROAD

MT. Nickerson is enjoying a pleasant dream of the Saginaw 6 Manistee logging road cleo trified. No direct steps have as yet been taken to make the dream a reality, but MT. Nick erson has done a little estimat- ing on the proposition and is quite we'll pleased with the results that the proposition promises.
 The cost of electrifying the road would not be large-no more than the purchase price of three or four locomotives. The fuel for supplying the power could be had from the waste from timber cut at the camps. By placing the power plant about midway on the road, the loss in transmission would be almost negligible.
 It's only a dream, as yet, but it is one of that kind of dreams that the recent development in electrical appliances has been causing to materialize with astounding rapidity. Its real ization is, no doubt, much near CT than the electrifying of the Santa Fe, which is pretty sure to come within the next five or ten years.

Lyle Mclean at Ajo

The News is in receipt of a brief note from Lyle Mclean who is with the Arizona First at Ajo. He reports that the thermometer usually runs from no to 120 there in the daytime but says that the boys are used to it now and don't mind the heat. His company is being used to guard the Cornelia Cop per mine at that place. There has been no strike there and it does not seem probable that there will be one. Lyle expects to be moved soon to another point altho the company hasn't yet been informed as to where they may go. They expect to go to France eventually.

Catches Fine Trout

Dr. Clymer D. Jeffries re- turned last week from Oak Creek where he enjoyed a ten days vacation.
 Dr. Jeffries stayed at the Lolomai Inn while at Oak Creek. He reports that he caught from ten to fifteen fish a day, all trout above the aver age size. (No doubt.) He attri- butes his luck to the use of sal mon eggs as bait. There was plenty of excitement, especially when Doe" fell in. The fall caused a lame back and he was hardly able to walk for a few days after coming home. pr. Jeffries does not advise the use of high rubber boots as they nearly drown a man if he falls lnthe creek. He states that there is no danger in making the trip down into the canyon in the auto stage as the present driver, Mrs. Halls son, is an ex- pert and negotiates the trip in fine shape.
 It is said that on the first day of Dr. Jeffries vacation, he and two friends were fishing out on the rocks in the creek. He hook ed a fish and slowly, but surely, reeled it in. After it was safely up on the end of his pole he asked his friends what to do next and was instructed to climb the pole and unlock the fish. This sounds rather fishy ? Oh well-what's a fishing trip for?

The edge of possible envy was dulled considerably by the delicious samples of potatoe cake, butter scotch pie and other things which had been prepared dur ing the afternoon. Miss Hewey announced that on Tuesday a sack of flour would be given to the holder of number the dup licate of which would be drawn at three o'clock.
 Tuesdays program included a lecture on Relative values of white and brown flour, and eco- nomical dishes." Five or six dishes were made and sampled. Mrs. Clifford Klock won the sack of flour. A second sack was offered for the following day.
 Wednesday was a banner day. Miss Hewey baked cake, pie cinnamon rolls and bread. Mrs. Jerry Lee won the sack of flour, after which Miss Hewey had the ladies draw for a large meat pie, and a pan of cinna- mon rolls. Mrs. Barnes drew the former and Mrs. E. J. Nor dyke the rolls. Afterward Miss Hewey rallied off the rolls, bread, etc., for the benefit of the Red Cross. Miss Hewey announced a contest in cooking various things, cakes, pies, bread, etc., all to be made with Red Star Flour or other Red Star products, the prizes to be flour.
 A quarter of beef was cut up Thursday and the ladies shown which were the most nutritious and economical cuts. Charts
