Back on the Job.

We learn from the Flagstaff
Leader that G. E. Cornelius, who
was given leave of absence as
president of the Flagstaff normal
for the period of the war, and
has been in camp at the Preside,
San Francisco, will tender his
resignation to the government at
once to resume his place as head
Of the school. Mr.. Cornelius re-
turned to Flagstaff Monday morn
ing, and there was great rejoic-
ing among the pupils and faculty
when he made his appearance at
assembly. The school has evil
IDENTIFY missed the diplomatic and
executive ability of Mr.. Cornell
ius in keeping the wheels of the
machinery running smooth.

Christmas Roll Call.

Are you a member of the Red
Cross? If you are not you had
better get your dollar ready as
you will be asked to join during
the Christmas roll call which is
from December 18th to 23d. This
is an annual institution with the
Red Cross, but it is more import
ant than ever this year. There
has never been a time since the
war started when Red Cross
work was of more value and
more pressing than today.
The object of this roll call is to
get every adult in Winslow to en-
roll in the ranks of the American
Red Cross. The residences will
be canvassed first, and the men
are requested to leave their dol
lars with their wives, so when
the canvassers come one trip will
do for both. The membership
is S1.00, which pays your dues
for one year. Renewals will
also be solicited by the committee.

New Newspaper.

Winslow will soon be in the oil
boom right. Messrs. Bryan and
O'Brien. of Holbrook, are in the
city this week arranging to start
a newspaper to put life and ac-
tivity into the Holbrook oil fields,
and to promote the growth of
WinsloW in keeping with the de-
velopment of the oil. Mr.. Bryan
is one of the owners of the Hol-
brook Tribune, and Mr.. O'Brien
is from Nevada, and is a news
paper writer and publicity agent
of many years experience in
mining camps and oil fields.

Councilman Parr Resigns.

At the meeting of the city
council la st Tuesday evening
Councilman Parr rendered his res.
lgnation as a member of that
body, and the resignation was
laid on the table until the next
regular meeting. Mr.. Parr has
to resign as councilman in order
to take up his new duties as state
senator from this county, which
will require his presence in Phoe-
nix the first Of the year. There
is more honor and glory in being
a member of the city council, but
the per diem as a senator is larg-
er. 1t ought to be if a man has
to live in Phoenix, which, if the
newspapers of that city are to be
believed, is a den of iniquity and
vice. But Mr.. Parr is a young
man of strong moral convictions
and we have no fear he will be
contaminated.

indictments Squashed.

In the United States court at
Tucson last Monday Judge VIM.
Morrow, of San Francisco, hand
ed down his opinion sustaining
the demurrer of the twenty-five
defendants who had been indict-
ed by a federal grand jury in the
Bisbee deportation affair, and
quashed the indictments. The
indictments charged conspiracy
to deprive citizens of the United
States of theirE constitutional
rights.
On behalf of the defendants,
while not denying the deporta-
ton of certain citizens, it was al
legged that the |. w, w. got con-
troll of the mining camp and ord
cred a strike which was not sane
toned by the international Union
of Mine. Mill and Smelter Men.
The strike continued for three
weeks against the protest of the
international Union, and as a last
resort to restore order the sheriff
of the county. Harry Wheeler,
with force of deputies rounded
up about 1900 of the disturbers
and shipped them out of the
camp. While it was a summary
proceeding clearly illegal as all
other mob violence it evidently
had the desired effect, as there
has been no trouble whatever
since that date between the In
terrational Union of Miners and
the mine owners, and members
of the |, w. w. are no longer in
evidence at Bisbee.

Keep Cemetery Gates Closed.

People visitingthe cemetery in
their autos or buggies are re-
quested to see that the gates are
closed securely when leaving.
The gates have been left open
quite frequently during the past
few weeks, and cattle invade the
place. A turn-stile has been put
in for the convenience of the peo-
Pile, so it is not necessary to open
the main gate in entering or
leaving.

Night School Progressing.

The night school started off last
Monday night in good shape with
an enrolment of thirty fl v e i.
There were five new pupils Tues
day night, and Wednesday the
enrolment was forty y-eight, ell
of which speaks we'll for the sue
cess of the school.
Glasses are being held in both
the Greig and Pittman shorthand,
typewriting, bookkeeping, Span
ish, shop arithmetic, draughting,
cooking and sociology.
The chemistry class could not
be offered for lack of sufficient
applicants for the study. Prof.
Lesh is desirous of offering a
course either in general chemis-
try or one in household chemis-
try. This latter course ought to
appeal TO those interested in
household affai.s. 1t will include
such topics as burning and oxida-
ton, fuels and carbon compounds.
fireplaces and stoves, gas and gas
oline stoves, oil and gas lights,
air and ventilation, water and it's
publication, foods and adulter-
ants, cleansing and laundering,
ink. textile materials, dyes and
dying, photography, paints, oils
and pigments, sanitation, distil-
lation of petroleum, wood and
coal, corrosion of metals, clean
ing of metals, lime, cement and
building materials, brick and pot
terry, commercial chemicals.
A course in chemistry will be
given if enough members will en-
roll at 3 o. m. for those who can
not attend the night school. No
previous knowledge of chemistry
is needed for any of these cours-
es, nor is algebra necessary. A
course in qualitative analysis will
be offered if desired.
One or two more pupils will
make certain class in European
history, and two or more will in
sure class in wood working.
New pupils will be received all
of next week, but it is urged
that all those who desire to en-
roll should come as soon as possi-
BILE.
There seems to be some mis-
understanding as to the Red
Cross work in the manual train
ing department which has been
carried on every Wednesday
night. This work is going on
just the same as ever, and those
who have been helping are urged
to come back next Wednesday
evening and bring their friends.
This allotment of work cannot be
met without help from the me-
chanics of the town.

War Savings Stamps.

The time limit for making good
the pledges for purchasing war
savings stamps expires with this
month, and it is hoped all will
respond promptly. Arizona is
going to fall far behind in her
quota on this feature of the war
support unless every one makes
a special effort during the last
few remaining days. Let every
person resolve. to purchase one
Csc Thrift Stamp every day dur
ing the month of December, and
if this is done Winslow will have
done her full share, and go over
the top. The record of our city
so far has been 100 per cent and
better on all war activities, and
we must not fail on War Savings
Stamps,
