(From Thursdays Daily.)

Approaching the splendid work which the women of Prescott arc doing in the organization of the Red Cross Auxiliary, composed of three divisions, and realizing further that it will require considerable money as well as time, to carry on this work, the 1. O. O. F. lodge last evening ac- ccptcd unanimously the report of its committee, that all of the funds which would ordinarily go to the lodge, . from the dance and banquet, which is usually given in connection with its anniversary, be turned over to the work of the Red Cross Auxiliary in Prescott. The Odd Fellows will cele- bratc the 9S anniversary of the or ganization, on the 23rd day of this month, and on that evening, hundreds Of Prcscott's citizens and members of the lodge throughout the country will attend the great function, which is being given for such a worthy cause.
 In the work of the Red Cross Auxil- iary, as now organized in Prescott, there Is no chance but that the most worthy ends will be served, for should the supplies not be needed at home, they will be sent on to the national organization. Arrangements have been made for the sale of tickets through out the county. \ meeting of the three divisions of the Red Cross officials will be held Friday afternoon and all plans completed whereby the greatest possible assistance will be given not only to the ball 10 be given by the Odd Fellows, but also the Elks.

CHAUTAUOUA IS NOT TO
 HALT ON ACCOUNT OF WAR
(From Fridays Daily.)

The Chautauqua IS to be fixture, war or no war. That was decided at last nights meeting of the chamber of commerce.
 Tn connection with the fixing of its policy in accordance with the possible contingencies of the coming war period, inc chamber of commerce with very complete representation of the businessmen, indulgcd in a wide dis cussion of the Frontier Days celebra- ton. IL was debated both for and against 1917 celebration, and the consensus of opinion seemed to be to hold regular celebration, ii any at all
 Action on the matter was post poned, however, until week from last night, in order to permit those who will have to bear the expense of the celebration, to think it over thor oughiy. Few of those present last evening, came to the meeting with any definite ideas on the subject.
 It was pointed out that the cclebra- ton has grown too big to be allowed to drop unless war times should bring about conditions that simply force the temporary abandonment of the annual Fourth of July gathering. ]. S. Ackcr favored going through with the Frontier program for the psycho- logical effect 1t would have, in con vincing the people that in spite of the fact the nation is at war and under extraordinary demands upon its pco- pie and institutions, the American spirit rises above petty limitations.

 LECTURER TO RED CROSS
(From Fridays Daii-.l

Under the supervision Of Miss Der
 nice Wiley, trained and graduate nurse, the First Division of the Red
 Cross Auxiliary met in the Superior court room Tuesday evening. Al though the time allotted to the lee lures and demonstrations had been set for one hours work 1t was well past the two-hour mark, when the class adjourned.
 instructions were given regarding hospital supplies and demonstrations by Miss Wiley in the making of the small, large and Mayo spongcs, which arc used largely in the base hospitals. Although 90 members were present, each one was drilled thoroughly in the first steps, before proceeding to the packing Of the spongcs and label ing of the same, prior to the steriliza- ton, which will be taken up later. No waste of material Is permitted, each sponge which had been made by the class being tied in the regulation bundles and stored for future use. either at home, or with the national association. Instructions in the fold ing and packing of the doctors gown was also gone into thoroughly. The use of the various thermometers and the reading of the same occupied con- siderable attention on the part of the instructor and also the class.
 Wednesday evening, Dr. John w. Finn lccturcd to the members of the First division, stating that it gave him great pleasure and in fact brought the work home to himself very close. for the reason that his own sisters and nicces have been in this line of cndcavor for some time in Canada.

AUTHORIZE MEN ID LIST VAR
 MATERIAL
GENTRY BEGINS AT ONCE NAMING DEPUTIES TO GULL ABLE BODIED MEN
 FROM YAVAPAI COUNTY
 FOR THE WAR CENSUS.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Work of enrolling all able-bodicd male Arizonans for the purposes of war, demanded of county assessors all over the State week ago yester- day by Governor Campbell, will start in this county at once.
 A rush of work in the Jerome dis trict and the fact he wanted the pay masters to say how the men should be employed, delayed the appoint ment of Assessor Gcntry's deputies for this work The board of super visors yesterday authorized Gentry to employ as many men as he desires to take the military census of Yavapai county.
 That there are between $500 and 1000 men eligible in this county is the belief of Gentry. The deputies will be named in such way as to cover the chief precincts, of which there are 60 in Yavapai county. The pay will be 70 cents per name, in triplicatc and with such data as the blanks require.
 By this method, it is estimated tha: the county will spend between S7OO and $500 compiling the census. Mari copa county adopted less economical method. The assessor there employ cd 20 men at straight salary of SlO0 a month. Thus, if they work month on the census. it will cost Maricopa county a cool 5000 The per capita system will stimulate the deputies to speed, and speed is what Governor Campbell wants.
 The board handled the usual month ly routine business.
