AMERICANS FROM ALL
LANDS HELP LOAN
Folk Songs, Dances and Sports in Gala
Effort of Foreign Division of
Four Liberty Loan.

The Star-Spangled Banner" SING in
English by chorus of more thsn thfr-
same nationality and most of whom
are foreign-bOrn the roll call Of ma
TONS" directed by the only simon
pure American, an Indian; nationalist
ic demonstrations of the history.
sports, art and industries of the neo-
pies of every corner of the world :;
unique displays Of the quaint customs
and habits of many races differing
widely in almost every way: these and
many other striking features have
been taken unto themselves nv the
woman's council Of the fourth Liberty
loan organization as part of their
share in raising the billions for the
fourth loan. To handle this work COM
mittees of foreign-speakfng women
have been formed in every state, coun-
ty and other subdivision. The loan
opens September IS and continues I'M
I'll October 10.
According TO Felix J. Streyckmans,
federal reserve director of the foreign
language division. and Mrs COnstan-
tine Howard, executive secretary of
the woman's council, some idea of the
stupendous task which the women of
the foreign division have set out for
themselves can be gained from the
fact that virtually all that the men,
bers of their choruses and other par
Elephants in the pageants which are
to be given have in common is that
they are all Americans now.
In placing before the public the roll
call of nations" every nationality in
each district, state, county, city and
person to represent that nation in the
dress of his o" her native land They
will also be asked to sing their native
airs or relate some of the folk lore of
the country which they or their an
cestors left. Native dances, sports
and games will also be on the pro.
gram.
The food question being one of the
most important before the world to-
day. the women Of the fOreign-lan-
guage division believe that, there is
much to be learned from a conserva-
ton and economic standpoint from the
foods used and methods of prepare
ton employed in the kitchens of the
fOreign-speaking woman. To this end
every nationality represented in a
community is to prepare food exhib-
1t to show English-speaking Ameri-
cans how they can save to help win
the war.
That the all-American chOruSeS, roll
calls, pageants and exhibits shall have
proper artistic setting, the Woman's
council has secured the services of
Pierre Nuyttens, celebrated Chicago
artist, as consulting director of the
council. Nuyttens will also be chair
man of the councils committee on pro-
duction of spectacleS.
There is no greater force toward
the final welding Of the American soul
than by bringing together for patri-
otto purposes the fOreign-speaktng
persons of the country" says Mrs.
Howard.

Income Tax Man.

Mr.. Geo. Keyes, Jr., cashier
of the Bank of Winslow, has re-
ceived the following letter from
Mr.. Carpenter, internal revenue
collector for this district, which
is self-explanatory:
I'VE are in receipt of your
letter dated January 9th, and in
reply will say that acting on
your suggestion that our repre-
sentative make his headquarters
in the city hall, we have written
the deputy to that effect. So on
his arrival in Winslow he will be
in the city hall, and any publicity
to that effect you can give will
be greatly appreciated by this
Office.
"The deputy, Mr.. E. S. Moore,
will call upon you Immediately
on his arrival, and will be only
too glad to give you any informa-
ton you may need in regard to
the income tax"
Arrangements have been made
with the mayor to let the income
tax man have the use of the city
hah, and he will be found there
at all times from January 18th
to 31st, and it is up to the citi-
zens to turn in their income
schedules.

Basket Ball.

The Winslow high school basket
ball teams returned Sunday night
from Jerome, where they de.
feated the high school in a duaI
match ; Saturday evening, til G
girls winning their game by g
score of 26 to 9, and the bows SO
to 21. These games are the first
of a long series which will be
played this season, and the pros
poets are certainly good for Win
slow to take front rank in the
state. Our material for cham
plonshlp teams is better than at
any previous year, and no energy
is being spared to make the most
of it.
Saturday night at the Electric,
Prescott will play a double bill
with the local teams, and these
games are attracting more atten-
ton than others due to the keen
rivalry between these two schools.
Last year WinsloW defeated Pres,
colt twice in football and basket
ball, but reports from there seem
to indicate a stronger aggrega-
ton, and these games should be
hummers. The boys game with
Prescott will virtually decide
which team will represent the
northern division of high schools
in the tournament planned at the
close at the season to decide the
championship of the state.
The line up of the Winslow
teams will probably be:
Boys: Eastman center; Hertz,
Murphy and Dunklin, forwards;
Crozier, Nelson and Cooper,
guards.
Girls: Dorothy Savage an d
Elsie Cassin, centers; Bernice and
Olivia Cunningham, and Nell
Drybread, forwards; Louis e
Chase, Pearl Harper and Esther
Stephenson, guards.

War Lecture.

Mayor Smith has been advised
that at an early date Capt. j. w.
Crozier, a member of the Canadi-
an forces, will be in Winslow to
give lecture on the war. He
will give US some first hand in
formation, as he only recently
returned from the trenches in
France, where the Canadians
have been bearing the brunt Of
the heavy fighting. No definite
date has been given as to when
the gentleman will be here, but
timely notice will be given of the
date and place of meeting, SO all
can have the opportunity to heal
him.

Fuel Conservation.

Supt. Tuttle is adding his "bit"
for fuel conservation by having
all the old ties on this division of
the Santa Fe hauled into Win
slow, which he proposes to sell
to the people. He thinks there
will be several carloads available
for fuel. He informs the editor
every fellow will have to saw
and split his own ties, which
means we will have to keep on
burning coal. We have all the
ailments of an itinerant mendi-
cant, and cannot do anything but
eat and sleep.

Winslow Loses Another Minister

Our citizens will learn with sur
prise and considerable regret that
Rev. J. M. White, who has been
rector of St. Paul's church here
for the past six years, will leave
here about February 1st to take
charge of the church at Bisbee.
The Bishop has frequently during
the past two years wanted Mr..
White to take some larger church,
but he liked the climate and
people of Winslow so we'll he
preferred remaining here, but
the pressure Of the work in the
diocese has at last convinced Mr..
White that he should take up a
larger work. The people of Win
slow without regard to church
afiliation will all regret to lose
this popular minister, always
pleasant and agreeable, polished
and educated, who is a man
among men.

Off Again, On Again.

The national food administra-
tion has changed front again on
meatless days, and now the ban
is only on pork, and there are
two days Week-Tuesdays and
Saturday. 1t appears that rep
reservations were made to the
food administrator by the cattle
and sheep interests that meat
less days were going to interfere
with the profits of the cattle and
sheep men, and as these men are
organized into state and national
associations, with probably more
or less political influence, their
demand for the abolition of the
ban on beef and mutton was
complied with promptly. Hog
raisers are the little farmers all
over the country, and they have
no state or national associations
with political power, so instead
of a meatless day we are to have
two porkless days.
1t was our understanding that
the meatless day was for the
purpose of conserving meat for
the allies, but evidently all the
noise about having to conserve
was made to let the people know
there was a food administrator
on the job. , We were told star
walton would be staring us in the
face if the meatless days were
not observed. Has the beef and
mutton supply increased SO rap
idly and abundantly within the
past ninety days that now there
is sufficient to supply the allies
without further restrictions at
home? Or has Mr.. Hoover de-
dided to win the war on hog
products alone. If the meatless
day was a war necessity it should
not have been abated at the de
mand Of the stockmen, and it
makes the food administration
ridiculous for putting out the or
der. 1t is about time this coun-
try was getting down to some
settled basis for the conduct of
the war, and commence moving
forward for the accomplishment
of results.

) Mexican Shot.

At Mexican dance held in
Mexican town last Saturday
night, where whiskey was one
of the principal features, a row
was precipitated and in the gen.
eral miX-up some one shot a
Mexican, the bullet penetrating
the feshy part of his leg, inf1ict-
ing a painful, but not fatal
wound. Monday in Judge Samp-
sons court an even dozen of the
Saturday night jewellers appeared
as witnesses and principals in an
effort to locate the party who
did the shooting, but no one
seemed to have a clear idea of
just what did happen except
there was Whiskey in the crowd,
of which they had partaken. One
man was fined $25, and three
others were fined $40 each, but
no one knows yet who did the
