REFUSE TO ARBIrRATE

The chances for the resumption
of work in the mines of the Mo-
renci-Clifton district are certain
ly not very bright at the present
time.
The mining companies refuse
to arbitrate any question as to
whom they should employ or who
shall be judge of any employees,
efficiency. The companies also
announce that the leaders who
brought on the strike will not be
allowed to work in the mines
again.
The companies state that they
will resume work on October 1st,
provided sufficient men are avail
able and are willing to work un-
der the conditions of the agree
ment made in March, 1916. The
wages to be paid would be fixed
on 25-cent copper provided in a
sliding scale.
Unless a sufficient number of
men are willing to work under
above conditions to justify the
companies to resume work, the
mines will be closed for an in
definite period.
The outlook is discouraging as
the strikers insist on arbitration
and that no discrimination be
made against the men who left
work July 1st.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

After a weeks delay, the High
School and Grammar Grades of
Stafford opened Monday. Septem-
ber 10th, showing a very good
attsndance. The total enrolment
is five hundred seventy six. In
the High School and Eighth
grade we have one hundred
seven. There are twelve in the
senior class, eight Juniors, eigh-
teen sophomores, twenty-nine
freshmen, and forty two in the
Eighth grade. All students,
both old and new, are going into
the work with ever Increasing
vigor, and the term of 1917-1918
promises to be the most success
full of school years.
In all live schools there is al
ways something doing" and
Stafford Hi is not behind the
times. The demonstration given
in honor of the National Army
men on September 18th, was the
first opportunity for our pupils
this year to show their school
spirit. The students of the High
School, together with the Seventh
and Eighth grades, were an inn
portant feature of the parade.

FREE PICTURE SHOW

Think of it, a picture show
that lasts week and does not
cost you a cent! Good show,
too, fine variety and a program
that not only has heart inter
est" but soaks one full of in
formation he ought to have.
That is one of the many good
things that will be offered to
every visitor to the State Fair
this year, November 18th to
17th. The big picture show will
be in the new mining building,
5Ox15O feet, now under construc-
ton. Prof. Chas. F. Willis, Of
the University of Arizona, is in
charge of the Mineral Depart
ment of the Fair, and is the man
who will be most to blame for
the novel aspect that branch of
the big show will assume this
year.
Take notice, everybody! Be-
ginning with the year 1917, the
Mineral Department will cease
to be a mere ''still-life" exhibit
over which hangs a tomb-like
silence, but will be transformed
into a palpitating, nerve-tickling
bureau of interest, where there
will be something doing every
minute. The barkers for the
living skeleton, the fat lady and
the boneless wonder will have to
strike a new KEY if they keep the
crowd away from the Minerals
building very long at a time.
Safety First is the slogan of
the hour. Mine rescue work and
first aid do not apply alone to
mines and railroads, but to every
human activity. Capable in
structors will be on hand to tell
the public how to break its leg,
mash it's finger or step on a nail
and then give the wounds tenn
porary dressing until the doctor
comes. The mine rescue exhibit
tions, especially the gas helmet
feature, will explain just how
life is preserved in the trenches,
and the war is about as lively a
subject as one can discuss these
days.
Then there will be lectures
telling the prospector just how
to proceed to determine the min
eral contents of his latest discov-
cry, by means of a pocket assay
ing outfit that only costs a trifle
and the use of which will be
demonstrated. Printed booklets
on the subject will also be dis
tributed. Then there will be the
picture shows going on all the
time describing these and kim
dred subjects as well as the
showing of some popular educa-
tional reels.

why our government has omitted

incident that follows appears to con-

There came day when, to my great

leave the old house in which he had
lived for II years and to build the
"What House." in lite street, mainly
prompted, he told me, by the wish to
show what he could achieve in dec
grafton. E. w. Goodwin was the arch
itect, and it was not long before they
auarreled over the work, in commemo'
ration Of which Whistler caused q
stone to be inserted in the front of the
house, engraved with the words:
Except the Lord build the house
they labor in vain that build 1t. Z. W.

The stone has long since disap'
peared. Goodwin died in 1886, and In

THE BIRTH OF A NATION
HERE ON FEBRUARY s,
MATINEE AND NIGHT

The magnitude of David w. Grit
f1ths feat in staging THE Birth of
a Nation" is almost appalling-at
least to the devotees of the older
forms of theatrical entertainment.
Where now are the little groups of
actors, the pinchbeck scenery and
the petty properties OF the so-called
legitimate" drama? BY comparison
with the new art, the legitimate"
measures to the mountain like moles
hill. Instead of scenery for his back
ground Griffith has used Nature. For
subject he has covered $50 years of
American life and history. Eighteen
thousand peoplehave done his bidding
and In the hair-raising rides of tn
Ku Klux Khan three thousand riders
and horses sweep over the dusty
roads.
No wonder that this magnificent
historical spectacle La the talk OF
the country. 1t has established an
entirely new art In the realm of the
art of pantomimic screen
spectacles with an orchestral score
perfectly aynchronized TO the action.
