Red Cross.
 While no definite date has as yet been set for the reopening of the local Red Cross workroom, it is at least in- teresting to know there is a prospect of again assembly for work in the very near future. In talk with the chairman, Mrs. w. H. Porter, it seems there is an urgent call just now for pajamas. This is work that can be easily done at home, and as many calls are coming in for home work during these days of the epi- demic, it is quite possible that the workrooms may be opened at certain hours and this work given out to those desirous of going on with so important a task. Over the country the work has been stopped but in re- cent days the rooms are again open ing up.
 Some interesting news concerning the Red Cross program for the Xmas gifts to the soldiers is at hand. The estimated number of soldiers from this county that are now lover there" has been forwarded to the Pa cific Division headquarters and this same number of Christmas cartons will be forwarded to this Red Cross chapter. These cartons, uniform in size, will be furnished to the families of the soldiers and the Red Cross committee will help inspect and pack the gifts. The chapter sticker will be placed thereon and the packages de- livered to the local postal authorities, who in turn will send them to the American Red Cross at an eastern port and in due time will be delivered to the boys in Europe by the Red Cross.
 The American Red Cross overseas is as busy an institution as that at home. Just one little item that the, committee accomplished this spring was the feeding or rather furnishing hot lunches to thirty-two thousand school children in Paris alone. Early indications point to general re- sponse for the Christmas roll call.
 The goal of general membership is regarded as a much better plan than the old quota method.

 "The Glad Game"
 Five years ago Eleanor H. Porter wrote the story of "Pollyanna," the little girl who persisted in looking on the bright side of things.
 Public approval soon set it's stamp upon the book and 500,000 copies were published and the author re- gently admitted that the little girl had become SO real and individual that her personality was now all her own for when Mrs. Porter saw the chicken-toed hieroglyphics which told her was Pollyanna in Japanese, she felt she was indeed beyond her. The "Glad Game" is being universally played--perhaps unconsciously by some--but nevertheless, played. What is this game? It is not calling pain pleasure, nor sorrow iov. It is not sitting down with folded hands

 Never was there more call than now for simple acceptance of facts and a searching for the godd that is. As a community, Flagstaff has gone through an experience not soon to be forgotten but through it all, so much good charitable work has been done that for it, many thanks must be ren- dered.
 Splendid Work at Emerson
 Hospital.
 The temporary hospital at Elmer son school has been a blessing to the community.
 The large, sunny, well-heated rooms furnished ideal quarters for those needing careful attention of both doctors and nurses.
 The domestic science room under charge of Miss Watkins, Miss Lenore Francis and Mrs. Dayton Drain fur nished appetizing trays of food for the invalids, the two faithful cooks, Mir. Wilson and MT. McGookin, val iantly standing by their posts until the large corps of nurses on duty day and night were fed.
 Just now Miss Katherin Bader is in .charge of the nursing, the Phoenix nurse succumbing finally to the in fluenza.
 Many local men worked day and night during the serious first weeks of the epidemic. but quite few be- came victims thmeselves,. One can still see Mir, Charlie Woolfolk man. aging in his efficient manner the work still to be done. MT.

THE PASSING OF

county OF ElkO loses one for whom
the man is yet to be- found who will

sterling qualities of the departed that
it seems but fitting that a parting
word should be said for the deceased
who died here without the comfort
of close relatives and almost alone in
the country Of his adopted citizenship
StrOzzi was born in Switzerland So
years ago and came to Eureka, in
this state, in 1883. From there he
went TO Spruce Mountain, where h,
was employed for some little time
and then went to Ruby Valley. where
for many years he has been employed
by various ranChcrs and stockmcn in
that valley.

Fatally Shoots Wife and Her
Mother in Chinatown This
Morning in Fit of Jealous

A shooting that will prove fatal 10

tain outcome for second, occurred
here this morning in cabin occupied
by Dan Rodgers, his wife, Mabel, and
her mother, Sallic Rodgers Mabel
Rodgers, the wife, has been employed
as u hOuscmaid in the sporting house
operated here by Jessie Ward. and
this morning was detained at her du.
ties for longer time than was usual.
Riley, who has been employed as a
porter at the o. X. barbershop on
Railroad street, went TO his home and
found her absent. He asked the
mother OF Mabel Riley whether or not
her daughter had yet returned and re-
ceiyed q negative reply. He then
went out and secured a fOrty-fiye Colt
automatic revolver. In the meantime
Mabel came home and went to bed.
The only details OF the story thus far
made public come from the old lady,
Sally Rodgers, who says that Riley
entered her daughters room and be
gan talking roughly to the woman.
She does not know what was said,
but says that the talking continued
for some little time when suddenly
she heard Riley say, DO you think |
won't do it?" and these words were
followed by shot Mrs. Rodgers
ran into the room and Riley then
turned the revolver upon her, shoot
ing her in the pit Of the stomach. The
wound inflicted upon Mrs. Riley en-
tered at about the naval and pene.

at the back. She will die, according
