EMERSON SCHOOL OPERETTA

The Operetta given on Tuesday afternoon by the school children at Emerson hall, was perhaps the most elaborate of recent years. Two o'clock found the hall packed to its utmost capacity and at this hour the children marched in amid applause and took the seats reserved for them.
 In a few moments the overture of the operetta was softly played by Miss Metcalf who presided at the piano during the afternoon.
 As the curtain was drawn, a host of garden girls were seen preparing the soil for their spring planting and while they diligently wielded hoe and spade they did not forget their pretty chorus. Quite patiently they sat down to wait for their pretty blossoms to appear and in far shorter space of time than is usual in Flagstaff, the reward of their efforts came trooping along, heralded by the ever dainty pussy willow who did nothing but wave her magic wand and summon her faithful followers, the daffydill, the daisies, the buttercups and cro- cuses, the wild rose and the dandi- lions, while even the stately sunfow- CT was not forgotten.
 King Pansy, proclaimed by most winsome page in green came to greet his loyal subjects and quite humbly gave up his royal throne to Lisel, the dear little Goose Girl, who was forth with crowned "Queen of the May" This was the signal for a glorious May pole to be placed in the center of the stage and as the final chorus of children stepped in perfect rythmn to the tuneful strains, the audience most graciously gave the applause due the successful performance of the Spring Festival"
 The second number was an Indian dance by some twenty little Indians fierce and warlike enough-in their warpaint and feathers. So splendidly did they impress their audience-they were forced to reappear and give a few more steps.
 Another number which pleased, was the "Ten Little Sunfowers."
 They too were forced to respond to an enchore. The twelve lovely maids from Japan-the number which con cluded the program-quite won their

When the coroner's jury ar- rived at the place his companion left him, they were unable to find the body, but discovered it about two miles from that point. Chavez was a married man.

WOMAN'S COUNCIL OF
 NATIONAL DEFENSE

Woman's part in the war is to be a prominent one if we may judge from reports from all over the country. This part too, is to be duly super vised for nine prominent women have been named as a committee to be known as "A council of national de- fense." From this council will come advise as to how best the assistance of the women of America may be available in the war. The women who compose this council are prominent in different walks of life but have been | chosen regardless of any organiza- tions with which they may be asso- ciated. Among them we find Mrs. Josiah Cowles of California, the new president of the General Federation of Women.
 The consensus of opinion is that the housewives alone, can settle the prob lem of conservation of food in the home and it is to this end that their energies will be directed.
 A letter from the President of the Federation of Woman's Clubs states this clearly in the following letter:
 Wilcox, April 24th, 1917.
 My Dear Club Members:
 In consideration of the serious con- ditions our United States has to face . feel it my duty to ask cooperation from every cllb woman in this state to consider carefully the needs of her community, and to work for the re- ducing of expenditures in entertain ing and in every other way in her daily life. Such as conservation of expenses in the home, economy in dress and careful study of the most nutritious and economical foods for the table.
 | I believe all clubs should either
 assist the Red Cross in their work or, where there is no Red Cross So-
 ciety, have a department of First Aid work, and be ready to join the Red Cross when they need us. Don't wait for somebody to start this work; dc l it yourselves and begin at once.

We have used it on some streets at as
low a cost as 3 cents per square yard
At present. therefore. We have few
complaints about the cost Of oiling
streets. The only difficulty we encoun'
ter is that in the spring every taxpayer
wants his Street oiled first.
Our equipment is very inexpensive
We simply convert old sprinkler wag-
ons into oil spreaders with hand valves
and gravity spray. We have three sta;
donary oil stations locuted in different
parts Of the city, eacl. with q tank ca
pacity Of $4,000 gallons and fitted with
steam coils and q small upright boiler.
All our oil is applied hot, and although
We have been told that the cold treat
msnt Is better we think differently on
this point. The Dill Is pumped from the
tank cars to ,o,lra sfdge tanks with
small electric pumps and from tank to
oil wagon wheu the oil is at the right
temperature. H. .S& 4
We have a special process for the
protection Of the oil after it has beef,
applied to the street. We do not use
screened sand. as it costs too much,
and a cubic yard Of it does not cover
much surface Under our system of
shutting Off street for day when
oiling too much sand would be required
to protect the oil when we open the
street for tIaftic. Therefore some four
years ago we started the use of iron
ore Stag, water granulated, which was
procured at a much lower cost than
screened sand Besides. one cubic yard
of this material covers as much street
surface as two cubic yards of screened
sand. The iron ore Stag has the same
effect in absorbing and finishing up
newly oiled road az cement has when
applied on a new asphalt pavement for
hardening, coloring and finishing it.
A good road cannot be built with oil,
but when the oil is properly applied e
road can be kept in condition In al
kinds Of weather.

ty says there are too many permits"
which is true. And one reason there

mits should be granted
II. The Probate Judge is allowed u
fee for every permit ne grants;
"2. He is allowed a fee for every
affidavit he signs from an individual
who swears he needs liquor for medi-
cine.
-. And of course the liquor seller
makes profit out of every permit.
THE law has curtailed very mate
rally the sale. and consequently the
drinking of liquor: but the law
should be drawn tighter together
with one or two amendments.
1T should be made impossible for
any officer to make anything out OF
the liquor traffic. All afRdavits TO
obtain permits to buy liquor ought to
be made by some officer and free and
