Oranizdtion of Councils ofDefenSe
 The Council of National De. fense has recently issued to the State Councils of Defense, its representatives in the States, 2 bulletin and program, urging the latter to create in each school district or similar govern mental unit a Community Coun- ciI. It is hoped that when these communities have discovered the joy of working for a cause great CT than their personal interests. they will naturally want to con- tinue the organization for na- tional service in time of peace.
 The Arizona State Council in turn has called upon the County Councils to take up this work in the various communities. The county organization of Navajo county will create councils in every town of the county. This work was begun last Monday when Chairman o. D. Flake and most members of the Executive Committee met with citizens of Wlnslow and assisted in the or ganization of the Winslow Coun- cil of Defense. Organizations were effected in Holbrook and St. Joseph on Tuesday. Repre- sentative and energetic men were chosen in these community councils and no doubt much good will result when they begin work.
 Some of the work suggested for local councils is to assist in or carry on a systematic drive for the sale of Thrift Stamps during the month of May. They are also requested to formulate plans for the Americanizatlon of aliens, the collection of material for a potographe history of the war, the systemization of emer- gency employment and other necessary activities.
 The Holbrook council held a meeting Tuesday night and or ganized by the election of J. F. Woods, chairman, Charles Os- borne, secretary and C. G. Dol man. treasurer. Chairman of other committees appointed are: Ed. Hennessey. public defense; Mrs. Lucretia Fianigan, welfare service; J. w. Richards. produc- ton; D. J. Thomas, Liberty bonds and Thrift Stamps.

Delicate Surgical Operation MESA, May 2, 1918.
z. c. M. Braxton, HOlbrook.

MT. G. M. Braxton. Holbrook.
 Dear Braxton: As I am on shift tonight, sitting up with my boy, my mind wandered back home to my family and friends, and thought perhaps you might like to hear how we are getting along,
 Charley was operated on last Thursday at noon; was on the table about three hours. It was one of the most delicate oper- ations that modern surgery knows of, and not one in a thous- and who undergo such an oper- ation ever comes off the table alive. It is now the end of the fourth day and the patient is out of danger and doing well.
 The nature of the operation was for the removal of the petuitary gland, and the gland was situated right in the center of the brain. For instance, and to make it more plain. suppose you run hatpin directly through the head from the center of the forehead to the center at back of head, then another hatpin directly through from temple to temple, and the gland lies right square under where the two pins would cross.
 One noted doctor from Los Angeles, who was in consulta- tion with Dr. Nelson, told me that he never knew of a case of this kind to ever come off the table alive. and that the boys chance was just about one in a thousand. Two days later he called me on the phone and in- quired how the patient was get ting along, expecting to hear of the boys death. I told him Just fine, and doing nicely" He could hardly believe it. wished me good luck and said goodbye. We'll. 1 will not tire you further. With kind regards to you and Mrs. Braxton, 1 am very re- spectfuIly, w. B. CROSS.

To Interest Mining People

Jack Marden went to Prescott Monday evening. on business connected with the Holbrook Oil Company, to consult with Geolo- gist c. E. Major and to inter view some prominent mining peo- ole who have expressed the de- sire to get into the oil game here. Those who are on the inside" say that there is little doubt of their taking up the proposition. A favorable report by a geologist as well known as MT. Major goes a long way toward instilling con- fidence. It was MT. Marden's intention to go to San Francisco. but he may not do so, owing to a press of business here. His col leagues expect him to return early the coming week.
 Dan Snowgoose says that he was instrumental in having MT. Warden come to Holbrook, and his associates all agree that no mistake was made. From the fact that the report of Geologist Major has been indorsed by every geologist that has made examinations here (and they have been severaD his selection was a wise one as well.
