 in all Kinds of Ways.
 About fifty ladies represented the local work of the Red Cross in the rooms this week. The usual amount of gauge and muslins, along with the work of Belgium relief, was accomp- lished. On Frii1y the ladies reali2- ed they had some task set for them that of placing in envelopes the tickets used n the Thrift drive. Ten thousand tickets we.e placed in sep arate envelopes and 100 of these packed in neat little green boxes, which anyone who chanced to be down town on Saturday, remembers all too well.
 And while we are on this subject of Thrift Stamps, let us give a word concerning the drive: One hundred girls started out to make it a sue cess. Due to their persistency, many boxes have already been turned in. What fun too, they had---we saw one man held up by every team, but strange to say, he was still beaming and incidentally drawing more num- bers.
 Another man persisted in drawing she CTS and 9S's from every box while another would meekly hand over the price of all the tickets to avoid ruffling his temper.
 Four of the 100 at work were able to dispose of their boxes in record breaking time, and these received war stamps as prizes: Miss I. One S,narr, Miss Lula Chancey, Miss Bertha Egge and Mrs. Charles Procknow.
 On Monday night at the Orpheum, began the raffling off of the numbers, George Spellmire presiding, while Earl Slipher gave, in few words, the plan of the committee.
 The gaily decorated wheel held a charm for those who knew their num- Der might appear and excitement grew intense before the evening was over. Another drawing took place at the Orpheum last evening.

 Art Exhibit Draws We'll.
 We told you last week not to miss the art exhibit at Marian hall. We prophesied alright as to the interest manifested should you attend. The exhibit was one of the finest, no doubt, ever shown in Flagstaff, and to the city's praise be accredited the fact that the hours scheduled for Sat urday were too short for the enthu- siastic lovers of art.
 Consequently, on Sunday afternoon the exhibit continued for few hours. Financially, some $40 was realized for the Red Cross.
 Miss Abbott deserves unstinted praise for giving Flagstaff this op- portunity to feast upon these master pieces and the wish is generally ex- pressed that some time again so rare a collection may be ours to look upon.

 Ladies Aid Election.
 The Ladies Aid of the Federated church held a most interesting meet ing last Thursday afternoon. In the absence of the president, Mrs. Breen !. presided. The principal features of the business meeting consisted of the reluctant acceptance of two resigna- tions, that of the president, Mrs. Harvey and of the secretary, Mrs. A. w. Brown.
 Mrs. Breen was made president and Mrs. Marsh secretary. Plans for in- creased efficiency of the organization were laid and later charming musi- cal program was given by Mrs. Wm Rudd and Mrs. Lathrop, while Mrs Jean Switzer gave humorous French selection in a splendid manner,
