 Like a thunderbolt from the sky, I the epidemic of la grippe hit Morenci the first of this week and no less than three hundred men employed in the mines were confined at their homes i with this sickness. Many others were also taken down with it during I the week and naturally suspicious were aroused immediately that pro- Germans had caused 1t. Many theories were advanced but as no deaths have occurred no definite req son for it has been agreed upon The doctors and drug clerks have been more than busy and had record days in number of prescriptions. What ever is the nature of the ''Bug'' he certainly was busy
 One of the charming affairs of the spring season occurred on Friday evening of last week when the mem- bers of the Morenci high school en- tertained the senior class of 1918 and the board of trustees to an elaborate banquet, one of the annual events of the high school. The evening was replete with impromptu talks and a sociability long to be remembered. Berl Davis, Glenn Roscoe, and George Clark, delegates from Morenci high school, accompanied by Paul K. Carson, left on Saturday morning for Tucson, where they will attend the first state conference of older boys of the Y. M. c. A. The idea of this big affair is to prepare for future work in the Y. M. c. A. at the close of the war. The conference will continue during three days April 14-15-16 and precedes the University Week affairs in which all the high schools of the state will participate. 7r- It was real social audience that attended the entertainment given by the Morenci Mems Brotherhood at the Chapel on Wednesday evening. The affair was in charge of the presi- dent. F. W. Mclean, who started the nroeram with prayer by Rev. Mac Phie. This was followed by singing America" by the entire audience.
