Winslow's CONNER
cidl Club Gives An
niUersary Banquet

Last Saturday night, March
18th, the Winslow commercial
clnb gave its annual banquet and
invited a number of out-of-town
guests. Among the honored
guests was Gov. Thos. Campbell,
who made talk appropriate for
the occasion. Among the promi-
nent people of Snowflake who
received invitations and who at
tended were: Jos. w. Smith,
cashier of the Bank of Northern
Arizona; P. P. Pitchlynn, super
visor of the Sitgreaves National
Forest; John A. Freeman and c..
3. Owens, county supervisors.
Irish green cards with gold
embossed shamrocks were issued
as tickets of invitations, and the
menu was fashioned so as to
honor some of the more promi-
nent of the invited guests, as
follows:
Grape Fruit a la Campbell
Consomme Tnttle
Radishes Ripe Olives
Filet of Halibut Vaughn
Sweetbread Patties-Janis
Punch Newman
Roast Young Lamb QuinIan
Potatoes Mahoney Daze Spinach
Smith Salad a la Chester
Snowflake Ice Cream
Assorted Cake
Sierra Cheese Toasted Crackers
Coffee-Guthrie
The guests from Snowflake
expressed themselves so well
pleased with the entertainment
that they may petition the Win
slow commercial club to repeat
the banquet without waiting for
next March 18th.
1t was a great affair and re-
flected much credit to the spirit
of enterprise of that club-the
steering wheel of Winslow.

Chicken Dinner

Last Saturday night, Ireland
18th, a sumptuous chicken spread
was given at the S. S. A. build
ing by Mr.. Lee Wilhelm, Misses
Fern Wilhelm and Sadie Hulet
in honor of the Senior class. to
which the Academy faculty and
board of education Of that insti-
tuition were invited. Forty
spreads were made and enjoyed,
and had it not been for the St.
Patrick Day dance at Turley Hall
at same time, many more would
have attended, as a number of
invitations we're sent out. But
the attendance was sufficient to
make the occasion one Of the
most interesting of the season,
and much praise and credit was
voted to the getters-up of the
affair.

Mesa High VS.. S. S. A.

Mesa High VS.. S. S. A.
Come to the Academy building
Thursday evening March 20, and
cheer for our home school debat-
ing team. This will be our first
pitched battle with any school
other than the S. j. S. A.
The question is a problem of
the day. Resolved: that all dis
putes between labor and capital
should be submitted to compul-
sorry arbitration.
We will uphold the negative.
Things are moving at a ten
second gait now in the student
body. The Student body Execu-
tive Board have been busy for
some time and now the whole Of
the Student body are moving in
one powerful body towards ends
it has in view. Things are being
attempted, some Of them have
already been realized, which
have seemed hardly possible in
years heretofore. One of the
biggest things we are attempting
is the putting out of year book.
We ask of the people of Snow
flake who are realizing the great
benefits of a school of this kind
in their city, that they give US
their very best support. Please
get in and move with us. We
are sure that cooperation of this
kind will mean a great deal to
your own interests.
Winslow High School will be
here sometime in April to meet
us in full track and field meets.
This is also something new. You
see, gradually we are pulling out
of the old rut and are being rec
ognized as one of the institutions
in the State of Arizona who are
doing something.

Road Bond Convention

Last Saturday representative
men from the various communi-
ties of the county met in Hol-
brook to discuss the proposed
road bond proposition and to
formulate plan for the PROPOSE
tion to go before the voters of
the county. Messrs. Jos. w.
Smith, Sam'l. F. Smith and WE.
Stratton composed the committee
with P. P. Pitchlynn as honorary
from Snowflake, met with the
convention. 1t was decided that
$160,000 would be needed, and
the convention agreed in a very
harmonious manner to work for
the election of the bonds when
submitted by the Board of County
Supervisors. No doubt an cleo
ton will be called for the near
future.

Champ Clark Horse
Sense to the Bat in
a Remedy for Peace

Asked recently for an express
sion Of his opinion as to the
prospects of peace and the best
means for assuring its perman-
ence, Speaker Clark furnished
these remarks for the readers of
Leslie's: l think the war will
end pretty soon. Everyone who
has any sense, except some fell
lows that are making money out
of the war, wants peace. Of
course, so far as | am concerned,
it is always peace with honor
that kind of peace that Disraeli
took home with him from the
congress of Berlin. AS soon as
this great war is over, | am in
favor Of congress passing reso-
luton not only requesting but
directing the president to pro-
pose to all the nations of Europe
a disarmament by land and sea
by percentage. This is the only
way we will ever get at it. One
great nation is not going to dis
arm with all the rest of them
armed to the teeth. +" Speaker
Clark's practical and common
sense suggestion as to the future
course of the nation occupies
happy middle ground between
the extremes of militaristic de-
and blind pacifism that
will commend it to the sober
judgment of the country. In a
time when hasty and unstudied
action is urged by jingoists and
and peace lovers, good sense is
at a premium.

simple, efficient and inexpensive
method known whereby maggot
life (the early stage of fly life)
could be destroyed in manure
without injuring the fertilizing
value of the manure.
Paris green in watery solution
one pound to Is gallons of
water appears to be the solution
of the problem. 1t proves to be
highly efficient as a maggot kill
er, it is easy of application, COM
paratively inexpensive, and, in a
negative way, increases rather
than diminishes the fertilizing
qualities of the manure.
Take a common garden water
ing can fill it with water. add a
teaspoonful of Paris green and
stir until dissolved. Use this
daily on the fresh manure and
you will swat the fly in the most
effective way.
This weak solution is not dan
gerous to stock; they would have
to eat large quantities of the
bedding to be effected.
A can of this solution should
be kept in every barn. Label it
poison.
It's all very fine to go away
for rest and recreation but it's
mighty unpleasant to return
home with typhoid fever and re-
grets. Many do. None should.

"THE FRUIT OF HIS FOLLY"
BY A Home TEAM UNDER
RELIEF SOCIETY

! Snowflake play lovers :
were treated last Friday :
Z night at Social Hall to one :
: of the very best preform-
ances of the season-"The
: Fruit of His Folly" under :
: the auspices of the Ladies
: Relief Society of Snowflake. :
: Without hardly a hitch, we
: were made to feel that "Old :
: Timers" were on the stage.
: The entertainment was none
too long for our enjoyment. :
Marion Rogers as Jack Dun
ning," was at home in the char
acter. His delivery and presen-
tation was excellent, and support
ed by Mrs. Clayton, as Dorothy"
his wife, the two were easily the
stars. Mrs. Clayton was, in turn,
well supported by Mrs. Ida F.
Willis as Alice Grandon, A
Society Pet" The contrast
characters, Hugh Willis as Percy
Ogden, true friend, F." and Fred
Willis as Ashley Drayton, a
man of the world" were close
second stars. Loie Hunt as
Melinda Jane Boggs, from
Juniper, demonstrated the
queer notions of an old maid to a
7, and put life into the show
from start to finish. Laura Nor
ris as Polly Flinders, the black
diamond" was black sure enuogh
and a shows'er born nigger gal.
"The Owner of CowsIip Farm" "
or Hiram Boggs," by Don C.
Smith, exhibited the character
istics of the simple style of way
down in Dixie land, especially
his misery in being dressed up in
a billed shirt and collar. He would
have been lost had it not been
for his better half, Aunt Sarah"
by Mrs. Enid V. Haynes. Clynn
and Frank Willis took care of
their parts in good shape, and all
together played like clock work.

Flies are the most danger

Unfortunately the public has
not clear understanding as to
the proper means by which flies
nav be eliminated or reduced in
number, or the principle which
S involved in this important
sanitary measure. Innumerable
devices known as fly catchers'
.ae offered for sale for the pur-
pose Of entrapping or destroying
these insects and are very pOpu-
lar with the public; however,
this method has no practical i'm
pOrtance in eliminating the fly.
It's to be regretted that other
methods are employ
edin this direction; for instance,
school children are encouraged
to destroy flies with the promise
that it will materially aid in the
elimination or reduction of these
insects, and prizes are given
those who kill the greatest num-
Der Of them. This is not only of
no practical value but there are
serious objections to it, for it
gives children as we'll as adults
an incorrect idea of the means
