BOARD OF EDUCATION
 DECLINES TO CHANGE THANKSGIVING PLANS
Moral Training Justifies Friday Hoii- day, Is Reason for Denying
 Petition

At a special meeting of the board or education plans were approvad for the new buildings to be ereteed at Thomas and Aclpco. The board also reeon- mended to the city. commissioners the purchase of a site for a negro school, located between Avonaaie and Wood- lawn.
 A number of petitions were submitted to the board requesting change in the time of holding the Thanksgiving eX- ercises of the schools. These petitions were submitted by Superintendent Phil lips without recommendation.
 On account of the value of the moral training to the children, the board de- clined to change the custom that has prevailed in the schols for many years, and decided that the granting Of Friday as a holiday is justified py the value to the children of the special exercises on Thank ksgiving day. It was the unan- imous opinion of the board that any change of time or method of observing Thanksgiving in the schools would be step backward for the schools Of the city.

AVOID CHRISTMAS
 GIFTS OF GOLD

The government is discouraging tho use of gold coins for Christmas gifts not to abolish the giving of money-but to conserve it's gold supply. By comply ing with the wishes of the government, every one will assist in winning the war.
 A good substitute for gold coin as a present is a war savings certificate. Any banking house in the country will supply them at face value, without charge. United States thrift cards are also very useful and acceptable gifts.
 By making such gifts the spirit of the holiday will be preserved, the necessity for saving and thrift will be emphasized and the country will be helped in it's fight.

MORE FORSTRY REGIMENTS
 TO BE ORGANIZED

That several more regiments of for esters and woodworkers will be raised for service in France is officially an nounced in advices received by the local Forest Service office. To supply trained lumber jacks, millmen, team sters, and foresters recruiting will be vigourously pushed not only in New Mexico and Aroizona, but throughout the United States. Recruiting for a second regiment has not yet started; but to create a reserve for the first regiment, privates will continue to be enlisted and sent to the regimental camp.
 Practical woodsmen subject to draft but not yet called up for examination are urged by the listing officers to make application for the forestry reg iment. This regiment, and others to follow, will supply lumber and timber not only for the trenches and for bridges and highways, but for the great docks and wharves needed for for the docking of American trans ports in the ports of France.

TRIAL OF HUNT APPEAL
 NOT UP BEFORE OCTOBER

Abstract of record in the Hunt Campbell case on appeal was filed in the supreme court Monday. The ab- stract is 322 pages in length, printed and bound in pamphlet form. The case at the earliest cannot get on the cal endar and be argued or submitted be- fore October, say attorneys interested in the governorship contest.
 The abstract, filed with the court by Eugene S. Ives, F. c. Struckmeyer and L. B. Whitney, as counsel for for mer Governor Hunt, will be followed within the next ten days by brief. After the brief has been filed the Campbell side will have 30 days in which to file it's answer. After the answer has been filed the appellant will be given 20 days in which to re. ply to the answer of Governor Camp bell. Then the case will be ready for setting of argument, or it may be sub mitted without argument, provided both sides so agree.
 It took the Hunt people 90 days to prepare the abstract of record, which finally reached the supreme court Monday. In this record is included only those portions of the case heard in the superior court considered neces- sary to place the plaintiffs side be- fore the supreme court. The case is appealed to the supreme court on points considered in error by the Hunt people. The full title of the case is George P. Hunt vrsus Thomas E. Campebll.

RED CROSS BELONGS
 TO THE PEOPLE

It is the earnest desire of the Red Cross that the American people, to whom the Red Cross belongs, should know all about its acts and its affairs. The people have given a wonderful exhibition of generosity and big heartedDess and at their bidding the American Red Cross has undertaken the most stuptndous effort in the his tory of mankind to relieve suffering and distress.
 The accounts of the Red Cross are regularly audited by the War Depart ment, and an annual report is made to Congress. But it is the purpose of the War Council to take the people, day by day, as fully as possible into its confidence. Information as to Red Cross matters will accordingly be made public in great detail.
 The War Council was appointed by President Wilson on May 10. The period from then until July was largely devoted to the campaign to haise money, and to developing an or ganization to administer the War Fund when it had been raised.
 To handle the business of the Red Cross a year ago there were 75 en- ployees at Washington headquarters; today there are 700 paid employees and 61 full-time volunteers. The num- Der of members of the Red Cross on August 1, 1916, was 206,077. On July 27, 1917, there were 2,547,412 mem bers. Over 5000 pieces of mail come into Red Cross during the war, in- clude the head of the largest copper company in the world, bank presi- dent, a railroad vice-president, and numerous men of influence and prom thence from all parts of the United States. The ability and enthusiasm which has been placed freely at the disposal of the Red Cross in this situ- ation is one of the most remarkable features of this enterprise.
 Members of the War Council and their staff assistants, together with many heads of departments created specially for war service, are serving without salary from the Red Cross.
