Louisiana has done her share I'M

Louisiana has done her share in
furnishing men for the fighting
forces. But for every soldier and
sailor she sends forth to battle, some
man, woman and child at home
should contribute their bit to the
RED CROSS. Its business is to care
for the sick and wounded, to minis
ter to the dying, to help make the
soldiers life at the front more en-
durable, to comfort and suCC0r the
bereaved families of those who have
given their lives for the nation.

Fire Protection
Versus Insurance

One serious drawback to the
healthy growth and development
of the average town is the alb
sence Of adequate protection
from loss by fire. Too many are
content to seek protection thru
insurance. when the sensible
course would be to make fires
practically impossible.
This is not said with any in
tent to decry the business Of the
insurance companies, but rather
as an aid to them in the efforts
they are all making to impress
upon the people the great neces-
sity for adequate protection.
Contrary to the belief Of many
people, it is the desire of the
companies that the very best pos.
sible protection be furnished, for
while reducing the rate and con-
sequent cost Of insurance, it also
practically eliminates the risk
resulting in a decided SAYING to
the companies.
We have not the fainteSt ap-
proach to fire protection. We
have system Of water works
that furnishes water for domestic
purposes, bnt not a fire plug or a
foot of hose is to be found in the
town.
Can you count the disastrous
fires we have had within the past
Is years? And the losses result.
ing have run up into many thous
ands Of dollars.
Our insurance rates are high
and we've had strong threats Of
The insurance companies with
drawing from the town. Can we
afford this?
Our town is ideally located in a
rich timber and farming country
and but for our own apathy and
indifference we could take high
rank as a manufacturing center.
But live business men will con-
tinue to pass us up till We care
enough to supply protection to
ourselves and guarantee it tu
others.
One Of the first improvements
demanded of any town that would
aspire to a healthy growth is an
up to date system Of fire protec-
ton.
Do We see this, aud are we will
ing to do anything about it:

Entertained at Luncheon

Mrs. c. H. Jordan enter tained a small number of guests at a prettily appoint ed one o'clock luncheon last Saturday. The table motif was blue and white; the cen ter piece was a fancy basket filled with white lilies, car nations and ferns; t h e handle of the basket was tied with a fluffy maline bow, this same decoration being carried out in the candy baskets, making the table very attractive. The place cards were held by small blue birds, and favors were corsage boquets of snapdragons and ferns Mrs. Julius Wetzler had the seat of honor being at Mrs. Jordan's right.
 After the delicious lunch con, a social afternoon was spent on the porch with fan cy work.

Rains on the Unjust

We take pleasure in in- forming Editor Chapman of
 the Winslow Mail that his wish as to Holbrook getting a good soaking rain has come true. Of course we who live in this wicked com munity, more particularly described by the Mail as the only place in the county where steel bridges are built, did not expect any rain to fall here until sufficient had fallen in the |" metropolis of northern Arizona to furnish every citizen of said metro polls sufficient clear water in which to take a bath.
 Jupiter Pluvius probably is cognizant of the fact that fastidious denizens of that town decline to bathe in, less drink, the water furnished them by the muni- and only treat to the luxury of a tub when it rains. We shudder to think of such a catastrophe as that it would not rain in Winslow for a year. Would the edi- tor of the Mail forego his bath or would he brave the terrors of Winslow hydrant water?

Quick Work

Last night the local board in charge of the selective army draft mailed cards to the 154 men whose names were drawn first. Fifty of this number were notified to appear before the board next Tuesday, the second fifty were notified to appear We'd nesday and the remainder will appear Thursday. It is possible that another call will have to be made, be- cause of the fact that many of those in the first call have valid claims for exemption on account of dependents.
 The local board is com posed of Sheriff R. L. New man, president; Dr. J. W. Bazell, examining physician, and Attorney W. B. Fer guson, clerk. No time was lost after the receipt of the numbers from state head quarters. The numbers on- ly were sent to each county board by the state board. It was necessary then for the local board to match the numbers with t h e serial numbers given each man re- gistered, and afterwards to fill out notification blanks for each of the 154 men in the 1lfSC call.
 The members of the board are entitled to much credit for the expeditions manner in which they have handled the whole matter. Probab- ly no other county in the state has made a better re- cord than this county, the Phoenix papers announcing Thursday that the notices would not be mailed in that county until Saturday.

Bootlegger Captured
 After Resisting Arrest

Last Friday night Sheriff
 Newman and Undersherifi
 Harp captured a bootleggel
 in Holbrook and thereby
 finished as good a piece o1
 detective work as has beer
 done for some time. The
 bootlegger was captured ir
 the alley at the rear of the Navajo restaurant and had in his possession a cheap suitcase containing 15 pints of whiskey. The man gives his name as Fred Edmond and is a stranger to the sheriff office. He is about 30 yeors old and had in his pos S ession a registration card showing that he regis tered for army service June 5 in Prescott.
 Early in the day Friday the sheriff's office received confidential information that the bootlegger was in town and would attempt to deliver his contraband to people whom he had supplied on previous visits. About dark Sheriff Newman concealed himself in the rear of the News office and awaited the appearance of his man. Soon the man appeared, carrying a suitcase. Sheriff Newman called to him to halt but instead of halting he started to run. The sheriff shot once at the mans legs with his 45 caliber Colt, the bullet creasing him on the right leg below the knee. The wound is slight but it caused the man to halt.
 When placed under arrest by the sheriff, Edmond, re- fused to lead that official to the place he had hidden the whiskey and made an at tempt to break away. It was necessary for the sheriff to strike his captive on the jaw with his six-shooter in order to subdue him. Even after being shot in the leg and wounded on the jaw Edmond made another at tempt to get away a n d might have succeeded, or forced the sheriff to kill him, had not Undersheriff Harp, who had been watching in another locality, appeared on the scene. He drew his gun, ordered the man to put up his hands, and his com mand was complied with.
 Edmond was given a pre- liminary hearing before Jus tice Boyer Saturday and was bound over to superior court. His capture will probably put a stop to considerable of the traffic in booze in this locality, as he is known to have supplied a number of local people when he made his frequent visits.
