THE WEATHER COOLS
 SORTER SUDDEN LIKE

Speaking of the weather, much of the language used must be censored, for even the people who live here all the time do not approve of the wealth. CT man walloping the mercury around just as though he had the combined authority of McAdoo and Dr. Jimmy Garfield, all rolled into one. Anyhow, his tampering with the weather caus- ed barrage of snow which made the trenches some six inches deep and there was coolness which augment ed some below zero here in the city, while over at Bellemont where they have no one to protect them, it is reported that there was 10 degrees of coldness below zero; it was report ed as considerable cold down in the Phoenix country.

ing hands might attend her. Unfor- tunately pneumonia developed and all too soon claimed another victim.
 Miss Baum came to make her home in Flagstaff but two short years ago. In that time her genuine sterling character so impressed itself upon the community that all who knew her voiced their admiration.
 A teacher in both public school and Sunday school she possessed rare op- portunities with her mental and spir- itual gifts to lead her followers right.
 She worked indefatigueably in the service of her Master, whom she most sincerely loved and to whom we know she has gone to enter into a broader, brighter inheritance. Sympathy is ex- tended to both Dr. and Mrs. Baum as they journey with the body of this daughter to Los Angeles, that it may rest among the flowers she loved so well.

 "Victory Sunday" at the Federated Church. ..
 Services next Sunday at the Fed erated church will be known as "Vic- tory Sunday" The Sunday school has prepared a program of music and song which will bear pertinently up- on our recent peace and its effects upon our nation. The church services both morning and evening will be con- ducted as usual and will be presided over in the absence of Dr. Baum, by laymen. Both services promise to be well worth your attendance.

 Most joyous was the occasion of the re-assembling of the Five Hundred club last Tuesday evening at the home of Mir. and Mrs. E.. M. Brown on As pen avenue. The usual games took precedence the fore part of the vevn- ing but when refreshments were served, all formality was cast aside and the members enjoyed themselves socially to an unusual extent.
 This is the first meeting for many weeks but the club plans to continue their meetings from now on at the usual interval of two weeks. .a

INTERE STING EVENTS IN THE LOCAL SOCIAL WORLD
Campbell Hall Girls Beautiful Even in Masquerade.
MRS. FRANK N. NOBLE

Campbell Hall Girls Beautiful
 Even in Masquerade.
 We promised to tell you this week all about masquerades and balls, plain old-fashioned parties and clubs and other social events so long denied us we have almost forgotten their names.
 First we would mention the very successful enterprise of the Campbell hall girls last Saturday evening when they gave their masquerade and dance in the dining hall of the Nor nal. z, While primarily this was a war time measure one might say, because the young ladies had made patriotic | pledges for the war workers fund, yet everyone felt the occasion one for merrymaking, not alone because of peace, but this was the first gathering of it's kind since the flu.
 And oh, how merry indeed was the occasion. Masqued figures in pie turesque garb danced and flirted and careened until twelve when the masks were discarded and even then the fun was not diminished for all were in a holiday mood.
 The delightful hostesses for the oc- casion proved themselves financial ex- perts as well, for the when the cold, grey dawn of the morning after ar rived and they took stock of their cash, they found something over a hundred dollars realized for the war fund. They are gratified and grate- ful to their friends whose cooperation made this neat sum possible. I. !. !. <
 And You'd Like Mary Frances Jakle, Too. .r.
 Another social affair of the week which, too, held little of the flavor of war and patriotism, was the de- lightful little party given at the Jakle home by a youthful though patriotic war worker, Miss Mary Frances Ja- kle. Conceiving this form of raising her war pledge, Mary Frances found fifty-six little friends "rarin" to help her. They came trooping in at the hour of three, each paying slight admission at the door, but deeming that little indeed to the real fun of appearing in mask.
 What an array! Gypsies, sailors, soldiers, clowns, Charlie Chaplin, old Colonial danes, Red Cross nurses, black mammies, blacker pickininnies,4 Uncle Sans, Dutch girls, farmers, liberty maids, Indians, Mother Goose favorites, policemen, Mary James, Chinamen and Christmas girls.
 In the grand march the judges, Mrs. Widner and Mrs. Sullivan, found it hard indeed to place the prizes flor uniqueness and originality but their decisions eventually gave the prizes to the following: Martha Washington,
The Coconino sun., 1918-11-29

Genevieve Garrett; Maggie Jiggs, Mary Michelbach; Miss Hylophone Pink, Kathleen Conrad; Ralph Heisser as Uncle Sam and Louise Bader as Charlie Chaplin.
 Much applause greeted these de- clsions after which Miss Mary Pick ron danced cleverly and later sang to the accompaniment of Miss Mary Powers. At 4:30 dainty refreshments were served and to give just the right patriotic touch the children sang in stirring measure "The Star Spangled Banner" Mary Frances is so happy over the financial result that she wishes everyone to know that $12.06 makes her war pledge a big one, thanks to her many little friends.

 Shakespearians Are
 Happily United.
 The Shakespeare Club is happily united again. Last Saturday evening found them assembled at the Pollock home for six o'clock dinner and aside from the. fact that dining together is a great treat since the days of con servation, even the pleasure of meet ing again made it happy occasion. Places were marked for twelve at the prettily appointed table and even keen appetites failed to stop the flow of wit and fun.
 Adjourning to the living room all were seated about the cheery fire when the hostess announced a treat in store. Letters from old time mem- bers and friends! And what a pleas ure it was as different ones read characteristic messages from former Flagstaff residents. From east to west, from north to south all testified an undying loyalty to old Flagstaff and the friends they still hold dear.
 At 10:30 the guests bid their host ess adieu assuring her of a most de- lightful evening. Before leaving the club unanimously voted to continue their weekly program meetings since war drowned upon them no more. En- toying the occasion were Mrs. Acker, Mrs. Sanford, Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Fronske, Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Rees, Mrs. Ehlers, Mrs. Hart, Miss Morse, Mrs. Rudd and Mrs. Noble. The club will meet next Monday night and lis- ten to an opera on the Victrola. Mrs. Rudd will direct the study.

THE HIGH HEART.
BY Ellis Parker Butler of The Vigil
antes.

The big thing that Americans should
concentrate upon at this time is the higf
heart.
No need now to ask whether oil and
water can mix. We know that autoeracy
and democracy cannot exist side by side
any longer in world grown small, Au-
tocracy must cease to be, in order that
democracy may be safe; or democracy
must perish in order that autocracy may
conduct bloody forays Of conquest at
will.
To-day America is a crusader for
rght-for our own national rights and
for the rights of all Just nations. You
and |, being Americans, are comrades, in
this great crusade. That does not mean
that we are guests at pink tea; cru
saders do not drop dead if speck OF
dust alights on a patent leather shoe
With high hearts and holy JOY they meet
discomfort. wounds and death.
Weaklings whine but strong men bear
all things with high hearts and clear
eyed courage when the cause is just and
the goal noble. | have heard men whine
because they thought, unless things
changed, they might possibly have to do
without lump of sugar IN their tea
sometime in the future! God OF our
fathers What kind of crusaders are
these? Rather than this let MS rejoice
that we at home can share the burden
with those in the field of battle.
Party politicians, cotton wool weak
lings and German propsgandists whine
and encourage the whine. At every de-
viation from the smooth course of things
as they were in the dreamy days of
peace The plotters whine and the weak
lings echo the whine.
Americans. our nation was vast, !
peaceful land. 1t was organized for peace !
and suddenly il has been driven to war. |
War, we are told. is hell, but we at home |
do not suffer that hell At the worst we
face discomfort and temporary annoy |
ances due To sudden shifting to war con- /
litions. These things are inevitable. Let |
lis not whine. Let lis meet all with a
high heart. with eager courage and with
brave cheerfulness. That is the big job
to-day
