Are We Lacking Patriotism?

lacking in patriotism, or is it due
to ignorance of the purposes of
the Red Cross that so little in
terest is being manifested in
Joining the local organization
A special drive was made the
past week to increase the men,
bership from 4O0 to 1000 in this
city of 1000 people, and the drive
was practically a failure so far
as getting anywhere near the
goal. Evidently some of our
people have the idea that men,
bership In the Red Cross means
taking on unknown financial obi
cations that might later be as
sessed against members, and
others, especially the ladies think
it means they must give of their
time in the workroom. Such is
not the case. A membership
costs one dollar year, and i'm
plies no further obligations, and
the membership can be dropped
at any time. A woman taking a
membership does not have to
take part in the workroom duties.
as that is all a voluntary service.
While we do not wish to be
understood as discouraging in
vestments in Liberty Bonds and
Thrift Stamps, we would like to
impress on the people that the
one best service they can render
to our soldier boys is by taking
out a membership in the Red
Cross, as this money is used d.
rectly to aid the wounded boys
at the front, and bring them
some of the comforts of the home
they left behind. The Red Cross.
is just as much a government
work as, the buying Of bonds and
stamps, as all its activities are
directed by the government. One
dollar pays membership a year,
and every penny goes directly to
the work of helping the soldiers.
Any other financial assistance
given the Red Cross is in the
nature of a voluntary offering.
Our boys enlist in the army for
the benefit of those of us who are
left behind, and the least any of
us can do is to enlist in the Red
Cross that our mite may bring
comfort and cheer to them.
Mrs. Jackson, who is chairman
of the membership committee,
wants to express her thanks to
the ladies who have so nobly
helped in the drive, and espe-
cially to Bob Walton, the only
man in town who came forward,
as volunteer. Bob did terrible
execution in his territory, and
let no one escape.
1t occurs to us that the matter
of getting our citizens to take
out memberships in the Red
Cross should be taken up by the
local council of defense, and as
certain what is the prompting
motive that keeps them from
joining. It cannot be financial
reasons, because there is not a
family in town who cannot afford
to pay 81 a year for each adult
member.
Mr.. John Flanagan, of Hol-
brook, who wants to be a super
visor and has filed as a candidate
on the democratic ticket, was
visiting in Winslow a few days
last week. Perhaps if some of
the candidates for supervisor
would explain to our people that
in the event of election they
would give Winslow some kind
of a square deal, they might be
able to gather in some votes. In
the past the only interest the
supervisors had in WinsIow was
to get the votes, and when they
got in office put in all their time

Charged With Attempted Rape.

Deputy Sheriff Gardner went
to Flagstaff last Tuesday to take
in custody a Mexican named
Faustino Armentiz, who had been
arrested by the sheriff of Coco
nino county on instructions from
the officers here, charging him
with an attempt at rape. The
assault was committed last Sun
day night. 1t appears from the
statement of the Mexican wo-
man, who is the complainant,
that Armentiz knocked at her
door, and when she opened it he
forced his way into the house,
knocked her down and tried to
assault her. She fought with the
brute, and finally drove him off,
but not until he had succeeded in
bruising her body, and tearing off
most of her clothing. He disap-
peared Immediately but was ar
rested at Flagstaff the next morn
ing. He was given a preliminary
hearing Tuesday afternoon be-
fore Judge Sampson, and was
bound over to the superior court.

Heavy rains and cloud bursts

master mechanics office was
flooded with four feet of water.
At several places between Need
les and Seligman the track was
washed out, and all train service
was suspended for nearly forty
eight hours.

to allot only SIS, thus looping SO

Fatal Accident.

A young Mexican named Bonl-
facio Sanchez was accidentally
electrocuted at the ice plant OF
the Navajo Ice Co. last Friday
afternoon. He was engaged in
handling the iron buckets in
which the ice is frozen, which
are carried on trans by electric
power. Investigation after the
accident showed a bolt holding
one of the bearings had become
loosened and dropping down
came in contact with a charged
wire, which had short circuited
the electricity to the bucket which
Sanchez was handling. The volt
age on the wire was not supposed
to be more than 120, but the
fact that the floor was wet where
the man was working, the full
force of the current passed
through his body, killing him
instantly. The young man was
of draft age, but had been re-
jected on account of physical
disability, probably due to some
defective heart action.

HOW To FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
(By DIR. L. W. Bowers)

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans,
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air and
practice cleanliness Remember a
clean mouth. clean skin and clean
bowels are protecting armour
against disease. To KEEP the liver and
bowels regular and TO carry away the
poisons within, it is best to take a
vegetable pill every other day, made
up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and
sugar-coaed, to be had at most drug
stores, known as DIR. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. If there is sudden onset
of what appears like hard cold, one
should go to bed. wrap warm, take a
hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi-
ously of hot lemonade If pain de-
velops in head or back, ask the drug
gist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets.
These will flush the bladder and kid
neys and carry off poisonous germs
To control the pains and aches take
one Anuric tablet eevry two hours
with frequent drinks of lemonade. The
pneumonia appears in most treach-
erous way, when the influenza victim
Is apparently recovering and anxious
to leave his bed. In recovering from
a bad attack of influenza of pneu-
monia the system should be built up
with good herbal tonic, such as DR.

and banks of American forest trees
or his -Irontic (iron tonic) tablets
