Referendum Again.

According to the Phoenix Re-
publican over 1000 names have
been filed with the secretary of
state petitioning for a referen-
dunn of House Bill No. 4, passed
by the recent legislature, and
known as the Red Light Abate-
ment bill. AS only 5000 names
are required to hold up the opera
tion of the bill under the beauti-
full referendum law until the
people can vote on it in Novem-
Der, 1918, the law is effectually
dead until that time. A glance
over the names will probably dis
close that two-thirds of them are
directly or indirectly interested
in renting property for immoral
purposes, and the balance are
probably the inmates of the
houses and the degenerates who

Red Cross Charter Granted.

A telegram received from Field
Secretary w. w. Hush, of Phoe-
nix, Tuesday morning, by Mrs.
Spellmire, conveyed the cheering
intelligence that WinsloW had
been designated as the Red Cross
Chapter for Navajo and Apache
counties, and permanent organi-
zation will now go rapidly for
ward. A meeting will be held at
the headquarters at once for the
purpose of electipg a board of
directors or managers consisting
of twenty-five members, and
from this list the officers and
executive committee will be
chosen. Branches will be estab-
]ished in all the towns of Navajo
and Apache counties making ap-
plications to the Winslow Chap
ter.
While waiting for the granting
of the charter the local organiza-
tion has been going forward with
their preliminary work of solicit
ing members, organizing class
es and opening headquarters.
Among those who have contribut-
ed in a notable way are R. G..
Kaufman who provided the room
for headquarters, Mr.. ..Shindel
who is furnishing the electric
lights, Mr.. Cornelius who has
loaned the chairs, and Mr.. Hanks
who hauled away several loads
of rubbish when the hall was
being cleaned.
The first cash contribution to
the society was received from the
Friday club which made a dona-
tion of $40.
The present membership is now
about $50, and it is expected to
reach 500 within the next month.
Every adult resident of the city
should come forward with his
81 membership fee, in an effort
to make..the Winslow Chapter the
largest in the state.

Garden Prizes.

City Clerk Crozier, who has a
garden about ten feet square,
thinks the city should offer a
prize for the best garden raised
in the city, as stimulus to the
citizens to get busy. We are in
hearty accord with the idea, but
we insist the council bar out all
the city officials. Three prizes
of $25, SIS and $40 for the best
gardens raised by school children
might prove an incentive for
them to put in the summer at a
useful employment, which would
be money we'll spent.
And while on the subject of
gardens, an official of the agri-
cultural department says a fami-
ly can raise their supply of Gu
cumbers for the season and for
picking in a common sugar bar
rel. All you have to do is to
bore a lot of two inch holes in
the barrel, fill with manure, and
dump in your cucumber seeds.
Pack dirt around the barrel to
the height of about two feet al
lowing it to slope off toward the
ground in sort of mound. Dash
a couple or buckets of water in
the barrel daily and your cucum-
farm is started. The vines will
appear through the holes in the
barrel, and will run about the
hilly sides of the miniature farm.

Conscription is Now the Law.

The conscription bill has pass
ed Congress and been signed by
the President, and under its
provisions every man past the
age of twenty-one and who has
not yet reached his thirty-frst
birthday is subject to the call.
Under the provisions of the bill
the President has issued his call
for all eligibIes to appear before
the proper officers not later than
June 5th for registration, and
those neglecting to respond will
be arrested, and under the pen
alities prescribed by the law will
be imprisoned not more than one
year, and be compelled to re-
gister and do service.
Eligibles who are temporarily
absent from their home, or who
are sick, must make application
to the authorities to be register
ed by mail, and failure to do so
imposes on them the same penal
ties. June 5th being the last
day for voluntarily appearing for
registration, Gov Campbell has
decided to issue a proclamation
making the day a legal holiday,
and calling on all communities to
have patriotic meetings as a tes-
timonial to the boys who are call
ed to defend the country.

Why Liberty Loan?

The SIS, 5,OOO,OOO,000 bond issue
of this year is named "The Liber-
ty Loan of 1917" because it is to
be a loan from free people to
be used in freeing the world.
1t is the loan of a liberty loving
people to be devoted to the estab-
lishment of liberty in Europe and
on the high seas.
1t is the loan of the great demo
cracy of the New World to re-
dress the wrongs and support the
cause of the democracy of the
Old.
