Business Men Banquet.

DerS, the CUISINE, ana the now OF
soul, was the annual banquet
given at the Harvey House last
Saturday evening by the business
men, when, in addition to their
number. specially invited guests
from abroad were gathered about
the board to enjoy the hopitality
of the occasion.
1t was a beautiful sight when
the doors of the banquet room
were thrown open at 8 .. M,
presenting to view the brilliantly
lighted and beautifully decorated
dining room, with its tables
resplendant in spotless linen and
sparkling glassware. The guests
marched to their seats, Mr.. L.
w. Quinlan taking his position
at the head of the table as master
of ceremonies, and on his i'm
mediate right sat Gov. Campbell,
the special guest of honor. The
service during the banquet hour
was perfect, the walters under
the direction of Manager Belding
performing their duties like an
army of trained soldiers, with no
confusion or embarrassing de
lays. Being St. Patrick's Day
the decorations were in harmony
with the occasion. During the
dinner music was rendered on
Columbia phonograph from re-
cords made by the worlds lead
ing artists and musicians.
When that portion of the menu
had been reached calling for the
cigars, hostilities commenced as
the POSTMASTER introduced the
several speakers for the occasion.
]. Fl. Guthrie, forest supervisor
at Flagstaff. told of his work
in the forest service, especially
about road building contemplated
by the government; Supt. Stephen
Janus, of the Leupp Indian
school, discussed the work being
done under his direction for the
benefit of the Indians, and good
results that will accrue to the
people of Northern Arizona; ].
w. Smith, of Snowflake, was the
missionary for goodfellowship
between the north and south ends
of the county, and assured his
hearers they were anxious to
know Winslow better; William
Daze, jr., being the native son
of Winslow, posed as the only
real old settler about the board,
and noted the improvements in
the city since his advent; Supt.
R. H. Tuttle, of the Santa Fe,
took for his topic the community
of interests between the city and
the railroads, and submitted some
surprising figures on the amount
of money that is paid out here
every thirty days; Col. Martin
Vaughan, the official city boos-
ter, laid out campaign to keep
the business men busy for a
decade, and he was not feeling
very we'll that evening either.
The last speaker of the evening
was Gov. Campbell, and he capti-
waited the whole crowd with his
splendid talk on Arizona, good
roads, and civic organizations in
the cities. 1t was not a studied
effort, but just plain business
talk of one neighbor to his neigh
bors.
The invited guests from out
of-town were Gov. Campbell, of
Arizona; J. H. Guthrie and Chas.
Woolfork of Flagstaff, Paul P.
Pitchlynn, J. w. Smith, C. E.
Owens and J. D. Freeman of

Braying Asses.

Jer 1916.
The good old prophet Jeremiah
was troubled in his day with
false prophets to his people, and
they were probably akin to the
travelling evangelists of the pres
ent day. They come unto a peo-
pie dwelling in peace and tran
guilty, and braying like the wild
asses of the wilderness stir up
strife, discord and contention, in
the guise of being the specially
anointed emissaries of the God
of Peace, and when there was
no grass" longer in sight to fill
their bellies and line their purse,
they move OF to other fields with
their discordant activity.
And Jeremiah complained to
the Lord that the prophets had
told his people that they would
give them assured peace, and
now they were visited with ca
lamity. And the Lord, loving
Jeremiah as his resident minis
ter toiling faithfully to lead the
people into the godly walks of
life, said unto him:
The prophets prophesy lies in my name: sent
them not. neither have Il commanded them, Meth
er spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a
false vision and divination. and thing of naught.
and the deceit of their heart
Jeremiah was solely grieved,
renounced the false prophets,
and was restored to peace in the
sight of the Lord on his promise
not to return unto them, and liv-
ed happily ever afterward.
And in this tale of the trou-
bles of the ancient prophet, is
there not a lesson to learn for us
of the present day, as to how we
take heed of the jtinerant evan
gelist within euT gates, who
comes, not filled with the power
to cement the ties of the broth
erhood of man and the father
hood of God, but rather with the
miser's greed for gold, to hear
the sweet music of the shekels as
they drop in the pan. He is not
interested in the simple word of
God and Christian charity, ex-
cept as basis to capitalize it for
his own profit, and his har-
rangues are nightly uttered not
to win souls to Christ, but to at
tract the populace to swell the
gate receipts. Another of these
individuals has just left town af-
ter a three weeks campaign,
and he would probably have tar
ried longer, but the grass" was
getting short. What of the har-
est? Has there been any great
spiritual awakening? Has the
old spirit of comfy and brotherly
love been strengthened? Our
citizens have been traduced; our
city reviled; and our amusements
cursed; religious hatreds have
been engen dered, and religion
has been trailed in the mire of
bigotry, egotism and conceit.
He is now gone, taking with him
the money that should have been
used to pay the niggardly salary
of our resident ministers; leav-
ing behind the muddied waters
of his hypocracy that will take
many months to clear. The To-
cal ministers work has been
made harder, and the financial
support has been weakened by
just the amount contributed to
the evangelist.
The evangel is gone, and let
US all hope and pray his kind
will never again return. Win
slow may be the modern Sodom
and Gomorrah, but our people
are living happily together in
this world, and if we all 90 to
the same place in the other life
We will enjoy each other even
better by having borne each 9TH
er's burdens here-and there will

BOYCOTT OF POTATOES.
Des Moires Restaurant Men to Serve
No Spuds Unless on Special Order.


Des 4Moines. Feb. 24.-Des Moines
restaurant men have declared war on
the high-priced potato. Hostilities will
begin Immediately, they say, and will
be in the nature Of boycott. The
.spud has passed into the luxury class
and hence deserves no more consider
alton than Australian pheasants or
Timbuctoo humming- birds.
Friday at a special meeting Of the
Hotel and Restaurant Mems associa-
ton of Des Moines. called by H. J.
Boekenhofr, president, the boycott plan
was decided upon. There are two
hundred members Of the association In
Des Mones. ....'
Mr.. Boekenhoff explained the plan
decided upon at Thursdays meeting.
"The hotelNand restaurant men of
Des Moines have decided to boycott
the potato" he said. "They feel that
the present price of tubers is prohibi-
tive. Instead of being a table necessity
selling at a normal price. potatoes are
now in the class with oranges, grape
fruit and other luxuries
"Since some people consider spnds
a necessity, the restaurant men will
of course keep small supply on
hand and fill special orders at prices
in proportion to the cost OF tubers
We believe, however, that these prices
will meet with disfavor and that the
consumption of tubers in Des Moines
restaurants will be small
The retail price Of tubers is Is to
IS cents a peck. the highest price dur
ing the winter that spuds have at
tanned.

Holland Greatly pi.turhsd.

The Hague, via London, Feb. a.
The stoppage Of considerable num-
ber Of neutral sailings to British and
allied ports has raised All issue be-
tween Great Britain and Holland ac-
cording to the Gazette de Hollande.
The paper says:
1--WE can hardly expect Great Brit
ain to reman silent while Germany Sc
cures such advantages by illegal
threats and pressure. Great Britain
has made counter demands amounting
to compulsory traffic with herself.
Dutch shipping must be resumed.
as the nations life depands on its

CONSERVATION was caused here by
the announcement OF the torpedoing
and sinking by German submarines OF
seven Dutch cargo vessels. two Of
which, the Noorderdijk and the Zean-
dix, grain laden and bound for a home
port, belonged to the Hplland-Ameri-
can line. The foreign ministry today
made the following statement:
when unrestricted submarine war
fare was proclaimed the; Netherlands
government protested against 1t and
insisted that the German government
should take care that no Dutch ships,
then to or from Dutch ports, should be
molested."
The statement says further that the
seven ships which have been torpedoed
availed themselves Of a German offer
to sail on Feb. %. They were to sail
together on a westerly course out OF
the danger zone and then proceed to
their destination. The report then
mentions the dispatch received from
the Dutch minister in London which
announces the disaster. The commu-
nication ends with the statement that
It Is believed that all the crews were
saved.
