People using these mills report

Name Changed.

When Winslow built her north
school a year ago to house the
primary grades the building was
given the name of ''Froebel
School," in honor OF the great
German educator who was the
father of the kindergarten. But
conditions have changed since
then, and the school board ,at it's
regular meeting last Tuesday
afternoon decided, by a unani-
nous vote. that the name of the
German professor on one of our
public schools was hardly in
keeping with present American
standards of civilization, and the
name was ordered changed to

Liberty Day Celebration.

A meeting of the business men
was held in the city hall Wednes-
day evening to arrange for some
plan of observing Liberty Day.
After considerable discussion it
was agreed that the exercises
would consist of raising the
honor flag" on the pole on
Front street, with an address by
E. F. Shindel, and a concert by
the high school band. Then the
people would assemble at the
Opera House to hear addresses
by the several ministers of the
city on patriotic topics, with
music by the Matthews orchestra,
and songs by the high school
glee club. These exercises will
start promptly at 1:3O p. m. this
afternoon.
1t was further decided to send
the high school band and as large
a delegation of citizens as could
be assembled to Holbrook, to
assist that city in working out
it's full quota of Liberty bond
sales. The band and some of
the people will go to HoIbrook
on No. % at 4 o'clock, and others
will make the trip in automobiles.
The banks and all the stores
will close at / o'clock for the
balance of the day. Keep this
in mind and do your trading this
morning.

Red Cross Bazaar.

The young lady employees of
the Harvey House are arranging
for bazaar to raise money for
the local Red Cross, to be held
Saturday evening" in the dining
room at that hostelry. These
young ladies are all fancy needle
workers. and during their spare
moments have made many useful
and beautiful articles, which will
be placed on sale. They are all
imbued with the true American
spirit of wanting to do their part
in the war, and the plan of a
bazaar appealed to them as the
best way to raise the most money.

Nebraskan Interested.

According to the Holbrook
News one of the men interested
in prospecting for oil in that sec
ton is Hon. Geo. d. Meiklejohn,
of Nebraska, and he is at Hol-
brook now looking over the fields.
twenty-five years ago the editor
of this paper, then engaged in
newspaper work in Nebraska,
was quite intimately acquainted
with Gentleman George" and
was interested in following his
political advancement from lieu
tenant governor to assistant sec
retary of war under President
Mckinley. In 1889, Mr.. Meikle-
john was elected lieutenant gov
ernor, and it was his firm de-
termined stand that permitted
Gov. Boyd to take his seat. The
republican governor was refus-
ing to give up the office, and the
populist legislature was deter
mined to count out Mr.. Boyd.
With a near riot on his hands,
and threats of personal violence,
Mr.. Meiklejohn insisted on his
rights as the presiding officer of
the senate to preside over the
joint session to canvass the re-
turns. and at the conclusion an
nounced that Gov. Boyd had been
elected. Sid Osborn ought to
meet Mr.. Meiklejohn. and note
the difference between an up
standing republican official who
believed in honesty without re-
gard to party, and a cheap poll
tician who would debase his office
for little partisan advantage.

Another Jab in the Stats.

Even in the matter of appor-
tloning the third Liberty Loan in
this county, by the chairman.
Judge Thomas of Holbrook, Win
slow gets unloaded upon her
people $4,000 out of total of
Sl42, 600, or a little more than
one-half the total amount. 1t
was lmmaterial to the citizens of
this city what their proportion
would be of the amount, as they
all come strongly to the front
with their money to buy bonds,
and to date have purchased near
ly $50, 900 worth, and are still
buying, hoping to make the total
SlOO, 600; but in this matter of
apportioning the amount there
should be some little semblance
to equity. Less than one.third
OF the population live in Winslow,
and only about one-third of the
taxable wealth is in this terri
tory. There are no wealthy stock
men, and very few men of any
considerable means living here,
and ninety per cent of the popu-
latlon are wage earners of linn
tied incomes, and in many cases
generous families. and these are
the people who have come nobly
to the front with their money.

Farewell Party.

The members of the Baptist
church and other friends met at
the home of Mrs. H. A. Funk last
Thursday evening, the special
occasion being planned as fare
we'll for Mr.. and Mrs. H. r.
Luce, who are leaving Winslow
for their new home at Emporia.
Kan. While it is with a great
deal of regret these people are
leaving the church and com.
munity, their friends wished to
cheer them and manifest their
interest for their future in their
new home. The Funk home was
tastefully decorated in the ma
tlonal Ecolors, and the entertain
ment of the evening was the
suggestion of each guest taking
a journey, a ticket for each being
furnished and stop-over privi-
leges allowed everywhere but in
Kansas. Delicious refreshments
were served at the end of the
trip.
A beautiful cut glass bowl was
presented to the Luce family by
these friends. Mrs. R. O. Beau
mont, of South Pasadena, form
erly of Wjnslow, was an out-of-
town guest at the affair.

day morning in their private car

tary was billed to make an ad-
dress on Liberty Loans. A num-
Der of our citizens were at the
train hoping to catch at least a
glimpse of the distinguished
people, but it was too early for
them to be stirring about.

War Victim Lectures.

Turkish and German atrocities
will be discussed by one of the
victims, DR.. Joseph Morhodge,
an American medical missionary
to Armenia, speaks in this city,
Tuesday evening, April 30th, at
the Opera House.
DR.. Morhodge, who is serving
the American Red Cross by his
lectures, which are free to the
public, saw the killing of hun
dreds of the eight million Chris
tians recently massacred, saw
mothers taken captive and forced
to spend their lives in harems
while their children were buried
alive. While being forced to
work as surgeon for the Turks
and Germans, DR.. Morhodge was
wounded and left on the field
to die.
The speaker, who will come to
this city for one lecture, is an
authority on the present situa-
tion in Turkey and the Balkans,
and was in Petrograd during the
Russian Revolution. He will
talk entertainingly on the per-
sonalities of Kerensky, Trotzky,
and Lenine, and will show the
wonderful work that is being
done by the American Red Cross.
BY American aid, DR.. Nor
hodge was rescued from the
Turkish armies and sent to the
United States. He is now en-
route to Russia, where he hopes
to find his wife, three children
and mother, from whom he has
not heard since he was taken
captive.
No charge will be made for
the lecture, which is being given
as a part of the Red Cross policy
to educate the public to war con
ditions and the work that is be-
ing done by the American Red
Cross with the aid Of the money
contributed by the public.

A War Board Executive.

Miss Alice Mcmillan, sister of
Miss Mae Mcmillan, commercial
teacher in the Winslow high
school, has recently been ap-
pointed assistant to Mr.. VIM.
Dunkerley, agent of the Los
Angeles branch of the war trade
board. Miss Mcmillan has been
the stenographer for the board
for some time, and had so thor
oughly familiarized herself with
the work that when the volume
of business required an assistant
with executive authority, Mr..
Dunkerley recommended her ap-
pointment. Miss Mcmillan is
quite well known in Winslow,
where she has been numerous
times in the past few years visit
ing her sister, and the news of
her appointment to this respon-
sible position will be pleasing to

Woolgrowers Hit Hard.

The announcement given out
yesterday that the government
had set a zoe price on wool, and
expected to take all the wool in
the warehouses and in the hands
Of the growers, Communicating
it if necessary, has brought con-
sternation and not a little uneasi-
ness to all the fockmasters in
Arizona. If the order is not re-
voked it will mean bankruptcy
for many of the smaller sheep
men in the state, and will entail
a most serious loss to the others.
At the woolgrowers national
meeting held in Salt Lake early
in the winter it was unanimously
agreed no wool would be con-
tracted until all the government
needs had been supplied, and it
was expected the government
price would equal to the current
market of 60c a pound, but to
have the price set at zoe amounts
almost to confscation. Last year
the President made a direct ap-
peal to the sheepmen to increase
their focks, and many did so at
considerable financial stress, in
the belief their patriotic sacri-
fees would be protected. The
price set by the government for
the farmers wheat was nearly
doubled over the current price at
the time. Meat and wool are
just as essential to war as wheat,
and the government should deal
just as fairly with the WOOL
growers as with the farmers.
