 STAMPS STARTED WITH V|GOR
Geo Rabbit Appointed County Chairman of Sales tee-Geo. Spemre Placed in Charge of Work for West Side-9 Local Agents of First Class-$223 of Coconino Average of $27 for Each Man Woman Child in County

The campaign for the sale of War Saving Thrift Stamps has been started vigorously in Co., conino county as elsewhere. MT. Trittle, Arizona State Di- rector of the campaign, ap- pointed MT. Geo. Rabbit as County Chairman to head a county committee to work in conjunction with the national Thrift Stamp Committee. MT. Rabbit in turn, has appointed MT. Geo. Spellmire as his as- sistant in the West side. MT. Spellmire, when interviewed, defined his duty as being, t'to help work up as much enthus- iasm as may be, and to engen- der as much impetus as possi- ble to the sale of stamps"
 MT. Spellmire has already taken steps to appoint nine agencies of the first class to assist in the sale of stamps, each of which will be permitted to hold and sell in one day, thrift stamps not to exceed $1,- 900.
 Thursday, Admission Day" was designated as a state holi- day, and special efforts were made to increase the sale of stamps. This was considered an especially fitting way for the state to observe the anni- versary of her admission into the Union.
 The campaign for the sale of stamps is to continue without pause during the entire year of 1918, and during this time Co., conino county is asked to raise the sum of $223, ,32O thru the sale of stamps. This makes an average of $26.50 for every man woman and child in the county.

SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Bush has started a small circulating library for the high school pupils. She has collected quite a number of good books for them and allows them as much time as they like to read one. These books are all books that Miss Bush has chosen, and many of them give you. credits on enter ing college. Mildred Finney was appointed librarian and she will see that the books are all kept together and that none of them are lost. This small library gives the pupils a good chance to read books that are we'll worth the time spent in reading them.
 The Junior Red Cross girls will soon have twelve complete baby outfits finished. The boys are busy collecting quart bot ties which can be sold here in town, in order to raise some more Junior Red Cross money.
 The seventh grade, are going to have a valentine box in Miss Bush's room, Thursday after noon. They are busy making the box and the valentines.
 Doris Duffield left for Phoe- nix, Friday evening, where she is to have her adenoids remov- ed. She is expected back in about a week.
 Iva Easton was absent Tues day on account of a sick head ache. She was back again the following day.

After much dis cussion, the following motions were put and carried: On mot ion Dr.Melick, seconded by Barnes, annual dues placed at $1.5O. On motion Gold second ed by Melick, Secretary was au- thorized to send check to Washington covering re-aflia- ton of the local club for year 1918.

 Until this range is completed the club will hold their bi- shoots on the range south of town. The first shoot weather permitting, will be held next Sunday afternoon. All members are asked to meet | at the Postal Telegraph office at 2 P. M., and go from there in a body, to have their shoul- 1ers kicked. All new members as we'll as old should make ap- plication to the secretary and l secure an official receipt for heir dues.

How I Raised My Quarter

One Tuesday night mother went to Flagstaff. She left me in care of the children and the house. Everyday I had the children to get ready for school the house to clean, and dinner to get, then my dinner dishes to wash up.
 I didn't mind the work but I didn't like to stay home alone at night. However every thing went just fine and dandy.
 It was Friday noon when mother came home. I had the work all done and dinner all ready. When she came in she was so we'll pleased that she gave me a. quarter.

WILL AID RED GROSS
 WITH FAIRY OPERA
Ex-Prima Donna to Produce "Hansel and Grethel" With Local Junior Talent, to Raise Fund for Red Cross

The Junior Singing Club com posed of some fifteen Williams children of school age, is pre-. pairing the fairy opera, Han sel and Grethel" for production in about six weeks. Mrs. Fran ces A. Scott, a former New York Prima Donna, of wide ex- perience both in leading oper- atic roles, and as an instructor in music and amateur operatics is training the children.
 The full cast for the fairy op- era includes seven principals and chorus, all parts being taken by girls. The selection of children for the parts has been completed and the train ing is now being pushed. All of the children are doing we'll and some of them show decid- Jed talent. The response they give to the training testifies to the exceptional ability of Mrs. Scott as a leader and instruc- tor.
 Williams is assured of a rare treat when the Junior Singing Club completes it's training and presents the charming little op- era which they have chosen.
 Mrs. Frances A. Scott is the wife of Dr. R. M. Scott who To- cated here about a year ago. She was for a number of sea- sons the prima donna of New York Grand Opera Company. and her work there received high praise by noted musicians and operatic directors i'll that city, and also in many of the large cities outside of New York, which her company made. It is enough to say that she was for two seasons a pu- pill of Oscar Saenger of New York, and received a high re- commendation from him.
 While it is not yet possible to set the exact date for the per- formance, as yet, it is antici- pated that about six weeks will be required in which to train the children. The proceeds of the entertainment will be turned over to the local Red Cross.

29 Helmets Shipped


 The special order for hel- mets which was received by the local Red Cross chapter last week was shipped Mon day, there being twenty-nine completed and shipped direct to Camp Funston where they will be distributed among the Arizona boys
 When the members heard that a special order for helmets had been received and that the boys were in need of them many of the women were very anxious to learn to knit.
 The helmet is one of the hard est pieces to knit but notwith- standing the beginners learned to knit beautiful ones in this short time. Some of the more experienced knitters knit as many as three helmets during this time.
 Knitters who knit three hel- nets were Mrs. Klock. Mrs Barnes and Mrs. Reese. The be- ginners who made helmets were Mrs. Yarnel, Mrs. Jeffries Mrs. Ritter and Miss Peet.
 Some very we'll made hel- mets and other knitted goods were received from the Grand Canyon and Red Lake.
 The amount received from Red Lake was more than was expected and shows that the women there take a great deal or interest in the work. The roads have been very bad and it has been hard for them to get yarn and to turn in their work
 Another shipment will be made in a few days there were a number of helmets that were not quite finished.

are urged and expected to con tribute much assistance in the cause.
 The e'Elks' turnout the state made a special drive on the 14th, Admission Day, and the latest returns show very grati- flying results.
 Liberal cooperation is ex- pected from all the towns peo- pie in order that Williams may keep up. the high standard which the people have thus far set in their support of meas ures.
 It is suggested by the com mittee that a good practice for men to indulge in would be be to make it a rule to buy a 25c thrift stamp every day, forgo- ing few cigars or making some other little sacrifice
 Not a Donation 1A
 Remember this is not a do- nation but an investment on which the government pays 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly. The certificates ma ture in five years, but if the in- vestment which they repre- sent, is needed for some urgent purpose, the owner is at liberty to cash same for it's full value plus 3 per cent interest, at any post office or bank by giving 10 days notice.
 MT. Spellmire will maintain the principal office locally, at Babbitt-Polson's office. From this office all literature may be had, and thru this office the stamps will be dispersed to the various agents.
 Thursday was observed by the closing of stores and other places of business, and decided progress was made in the sale of stamps.
 Buy one or more stamps ev- cry day.

 In letter to his parents from Camp Kearney, MT. Lyle Nc Lean shows that Arizona is holding her own. He tells of a parade two hours and forty minutes long in which 158th U. s. Infantry attracted espec- ia1 attention. When somebody told the people on the viewing stand that these were from the 1st Arizona's, they went plum crazy. 1858 U. S. Inf. Com pany B also has an outstanding challenge for horsemanship in Camp Kearney. Keep your eye on 158 U. s. Infantry!
 The commencement exercis- es at the Red Lake Schoolhouse on Friday evening were most impressive. This, the second class to be graduated from the school certainly did honor to their instructors. Great appre- citation of the present teacher, Mrs. Anna B. Murphy was ex- pressed at the commencement. The program itself was as fol- lows:
