 While the finance committee of the Red Cross donated quite a bit of the material used, patriotic citizens. both men and women, contributed thread and muslin. Eight sewing machines, in use throughout the day, were also donated.
 Mrs. W. K. James, Mrs. Gordon Tweed and Mrs. T. w. Pemberton were in charge and announced that on the three days of the week to be given over for this work some member of the local Red Cross would always be pres ent from 9;30 o'clock until the closing hour, o'clock.

COUNTIES BILL SUSTAINED BY
 WILEY [. JONES
Classification Measure of Last Legislature Held to Be Legal, by Attorney
 General in Formal Ruling

Attorney General Wiley E. Jones yesterday ruled that the county classi- fication bill. known as Substitu-" G. ate Bill IT, is constitutional and that it became effective March b. - will mean that boards of supervisors will in some cases increase the pay of office holders
 It was stated last night that State Auditor Jesse L. Royce would not hon. or the claims of the judges of the su- perior courts, on the ground that the constitution provides tha1 no officer paid by the state Shali have his salary raised while in office. Part Of the sal ary drawn by the superior judges ie paid by the state. It is probable that he will force one of the judges to sue him, and carry the matter to the su- perme court to test it's constitution ality. He is taking this action to pro- tect his bondsmen.
 Following is a copy of the letter which MT. Jones sent out yesterday to the county attorneys of each county, telling them to inform the boards of supervisors that the law is constitu- tiOnal.
 The matter of Substitute Bill No. v, fixing the salaries of state officers and classifying the countiesof the state and also fixing the salaries of county officers, will call for your advice to the board of supervisors at their regu- lar meeting on Monday next. This bill forms a complete chapter and repeals Chap. II. Title 13, Revised Statutes of Arizona, 1913 Civil Code. It also car ries an emergency clause, that it shall be in full force and effect from and after it's passage and approval by the governor
 The intent and desire of the legis- lature was that the act should take immediate effect as expressed in the emergency clause. It has been the policy of this department at all times heretofore to recognize all laws as con- stitutional, and that policy will be pur- sued by this department in the matter of said Substitute Senate Bill No v.
 The supreme court, having very properly decided that the classification act, passed in 1912, and incorporated in Chapter II. Title Ia, as above men toned, was uncOnstitutional, it became the duty of the legislature to pass a new classification act as speedily as possible, and after due consideration of legal points involved. I therefore suggest that you advise the board of supervisors on Monday next, to observe the provisions of said Substitute Sen ate Bill No. 77, including it's emer- gency clause.
 T think it is the official duty of this department and the county attorneys to uphold the law as passed by the leg lslature and approved by the governor. and would so advise in the matter of said Bill No. 77.
 Said Bill No. r was approved the night of March 14, and under the emer- gency clause became effective March 15. For the first half of the present month, up to the fifteenth instant. | i can only suggest that you follow the law of 1901, with amendments thereto. particularly those of 1907 and 1909 and as modified by the provisions of the state constitution

MOTHERS IF MEN AT RED CROsS
 LABOR II EASE WAR SUFFERING

Half a hundred women gathered at the chamber of commerce yesterday and cut, pasted and sewed for the Red Cross. Many were unaccustomed to doing more than a bit of hand work but they were just as eager and willing to do their part of Woman's war work as those to whom sewing was an old time accomplishment. They worked Each and every one who dropped in during the day for an hour or more wished to .share in the preparedness program which the National Red Cross society is urging at the present time. There were groups of women gathered around the tables cutting from the great bolts of muslin, others sat close by with needle threaded ready to haste the seams to be received in turn by the women who sat at the machines. The finished hospital garments were neatly folded and stacked and then new set begun. Doctors and nurses operal- ing gowns, sheets and pillow cases. were few of the articles made at the initial sewing party which will be re- peated every Monday, Thursday and Saturday.
 The women have been impressed with the seriousness of the war situa- tiOn. The relief work which they can do has been urged upon them by re- peated telegrams from the Red Cross authorities in Washington. It was an earnest group gathered at the chamber of commerce and although many of the leaders of the movement violated the eight-hour law, they are not asking other women of the city to do the same. But they do ask for help. They urge all who can, to drop in, if only for an hour or so, on the days set aside for this purpose. Those numbered among

 Regarding the situation at Doug las. the Winslow Mail of last Fri day said:
 The attorneys for Mir. Hunt gained: permission from the court last Tues day to take up Snowflake precinct Tor investigation for alleged fraud, and three witnesses were put on the stand in an effort to prove fraud in the marking of ballots during the election, and out of the mouths Of their own witnesses they were con demned. The real interest behind the effort to discreGit Snowflake pre- clnct is the VindictiveneSS of Repre- sentative Flake, who is still smarting over receiving 30 votes out of a total of nearly 200. and he is so peeved at his overwhelming repudiation at the hands of his neighbors. among whom he has been living so many wears. that he was willing to smirch the reputation of the whole precinct to vent his spleen. The principal ob : feet of his displeasurc is Joseph w. Smith, cashier of the Snowflake bank, one of the most substantial and highly respected citizens in the county, who was an active repub- hcan worker and was largely respon- slble for the smal, vote accorded Flake"

That is exactly what it will mean to you
to come to this office and arrange to have
your teeth put into perfect condition. You
will be thankful many times in the years to
come if you will just make up your mind to
take this decisive step now.
Maybe you have been putting it off on
account of thinking that it will cost tre-
mendous lot of money. II this is the case,
you will probably be pleasantly surprised
when you come here and get our prices.
On account of the very large volume of
business which we do at this Office we are
able to make the very lowest prices. II stands
to reason that we can afford to take smaller
profit on the individual case than Office
which does only one-half to one-third the vol
ume that we do possibly afford to take.
Just come to this ofice-let one Of our
experts examine your teeth-he will tell you
right away just what is necessary to put them
