 CALLED BY DEATH

MESA, Dec. 10.-Mrs. Claude Nicoll passed away yeste"dly morning at 6 o'clock at the residence of her hus- bands mother, Mrs. Grace Nicoll, of double pneumonia. The passing away of the young brlde was peculiarly sad. in that she was bride of but few weeks, having been married only three days before her husband left with the last contingent, for Camp Funston. Everything possible was done for the sufferer Dr. r.. Payne Palmer of Phoenix, with Drs. Nelson and Freestone all being in attendance, but to no avail. Mrs. N;ccll was be- fore her marriage Miss Roberts Lou ise Leonard Her home was in Wash ington, but she was employed at Will Hams. in the offices of Babbitt- Poison company, when she met Claude Nicoll, then in the employe of the Standard Oil company, at Flagstaff.

MITCHELL URGES
 AID FUR HALIFAX
 EXPLOSION VICTIMS

Upon Samuel H. Mitchell. man. ager of the Phoenix Street Railway company, fell probably with more force than upon the average resi- dent of Phoenix the news of the terrible disaster at Halifax, the death list of which is fast mounting beyond 4,000.
 MT. Mitchell is a Nova Scotian by birth, and in becoming acquainted with the details of the explosion and fire whereby thousands lost their lives and many more thousands were rendered destitute, feels called upon to do what little he can toward the alleviation of the terrible want of the stricken people.
 In voluntarily designating himself a committee of one to receive and forward money gifts for the relief of the people of Halifax made home less, the children now orphans and the sufferers in terrible need of food and clothing, MT. Mitchell solicits contributions from all Phoe- nix and Salt River valley people who desire to aid in this cause of dire need.
 There are numerous people who came from Nova Scotia and Canada, who now live in this valley, and It is to these particularly that Mr. Mitchell offers this opportunity to aid their stricken countrymen. MT. Mitchell will be certain that all con- tributions entrusted to him for this purpose will reach the proper author ities to be used in the manner de- sired. For further information MT. Mitchell may be reached by tele- phone 44S5.

W|NSLOW HIGH WINS
 GAME FROM INDIANS

In a fast and snappy game of basket ball, the Winslow High school team de- feated the local Indian school team at the armopy Saturday evening, to the score of 20 to 14. Ghe game was inter esting from start to finish and pro- vided many thrills for the audience. Butler, who is known for his football prowess, played for the Indians and his fast plays were considered remarkable. Eastman, who is also a star in football, starred for the Winslow team.
 In the first half of the game the Winslow team made many gains over the Indjans and their score leaped away ahead, but in the second half the In- dians fared better. The Indians played very well, notwithstanding the fact that they have been at practice only three days.
 Coach Cooper of the Tempe Normal and Coach Osborne of the Phoenix Union High school were the officials. The Indian school band furnished mu- sic before and during the game

 All these and other questions rela- tive to wheat growing are to be dis cussed in meetings called by the school directors of the several dis tricts at some date between now and August 25, at which time we are to have county wheat day at the court house in Prescott to determine the acreage and select county commit tee to order the wheat and discuss the whole plan in general. The banks of Prescott will finance the proposition under satisfactory arrangements with them.
 The agricultural department of the
  government has arranged with the War Department to allow county agents to arrange for carload shin ments of horses and mules on the CO., operative plan. So if there is a sur plus of horses and mules of the re- quired grade in the county and we can get them together at some stated time an inspector will be sent here to take the matter up with the farmers. In case you have animals of the classes below see me that 1 may know what steps to take.
 Horses (geldings) are as follows: Age 3 to s years, height b to F hands, weight $50 to 17O0 lbs. No white orgray horses wanted
 Mules are to be to years old, If 1-2 ot F hands high, weight $50 to l250 lbs. Only we'll bred, first class animals are wanted.
 The object in this cooperative work is to let the farmer get the govern ment price of the animal. Buyers have been making from $40 to $85 per head profit.
 Please list your animals with me as early as possible that I may know whether or not there is car load.
 Yours for more safe farming,

Vatican Report Says Pope Will Sit
Out Differences From Answers oil
All Bellipererts,

All Belligerents.
Rome, Aug. 31.-Pope Benedict,
lit was learned today. has express
cd himself as greatly disappointed
over the rejection of his peace plan
by the American President.
According to rumor here, Emperor
Karl of Austria, and even the Kaiser.
have written the Pontiff indicating
pledges of the widest democratiza-
ton within their empires.
The dispatch does not indicate
whether these letters were written
before or after Pope Benedict issued
his appeal, but it is reasonable to
assume, they preceded the Pontiff's
note.
At the Vatican today it was stated
that when replies of all belligcrcnts
are received, Pope Benedict intends
to issue a statement pointing out the
propositions of peace on which all
agree, and separating those on which
there are differences. These latter
he intends to make matter of dam
ger. In this way he hopes gradually,
by sitting out the agreed sections,
to make peace matter OF politics.
