Red Cross Notes.

Every member of the local Red
Cross should attend the annual
meeting at 8 o'clock this (Fri-
day. evening. The board of di-
rectors for the ensuing year will
be elected at that time.
Some time ago the national
Red Cross asked for linen
shower for the use of the hospi-
tails. This was postponed be-
cause of the prevalence of infu-
enza throughout the country.
We are asked to make the collec-
ton of these articles this week.
Our allotment follows:
so bath towels, 1898 inches.
120 towels, 18x30 inches.
ga handkerchief, 18x18 inches.
6 napkins, 14x14 inches.
Sc sheets, 64x102, or 64x99 in.
All articles must be new or
nearly new. We are asked to
donate these articles from our
reserve stock.
Leave all donations of articles
at the Red Cross rooms this com
ing week. The room is open ev-
cry afternoon from 2::3O until S
o'clock.
The war may be over, but the
work Of the Red Cross has just
begun. We need workers; won't
you help?
Please turn in your completed
work. We need it now.

Winslow May Get Oil.

Mr.. A. B. Baird, a geologist,
has been in the city few days
making an investigation of the
oil holdings of Mr.. V. A. Keith
on Clear Creek, about seven
miles from Winslow. After an
examination he reports to Mr..
Keith that the formation is broad
ly known as the Pennsylvania,
and that the local field is located
near the axis of an anticIine: that
the structure is perfect and we'll
located with reference to the
higher ground which should pro-
vide the necessary gas pressure
to produce gushers. Mr.. Keith
feels elated over the report, and
says he will have oil rigs on the
land within few months to prove
out the report of the geologist.

Notice to the Public.

Notice is hereby given to the
public,of Winslow that all cases
of influenza, or suspicious cases
of that disease, must be immedi-
ately reported to me as the Coun-
ty Health Officer, that the home
afflicted may be quarantined at
once. under the provisions of the
state health laws governing this
state. Failure to report cases,
which are later discovered by the
health officers, means prosecution
of the heads of the family, which
will be vigorously enforced from
this date forward. The lifting
of the quarantine regulation does
not mean release from the re-
quirements of this order.

County Health Officer.

Winslow in the Clear.

Winslow maintains her usual
pace in the support of the war.
In the late drive for the United
War Work activities, this city
was given $4,000 as her portion
Of the of the county apportion-
ment of $4,000. The figures
complete as compiled by Geo. H.
Keyes, chairman of the commit
tee, is as follows:
Total Cash Pd. Pledges
Business Men .$2815.00 S2S05. 90 S 10. 90

Vic. Boys Girls 3S6.S5 17O.55 ZIG. 80
Total -. s6611.35 $6l6Q.s S. S $50. 80
Mr.. Keyes has not yet received
figures from other sections of the
county, but it is known that the
county as a whole will not meet
the full quota assigned to it.
Those who still have their
pledges unpaid are requested to
pay their money into either of
our local banks as soon as posi-
BILE, so the report can be made

Quarantining Churches.

The following excerpt tai e n
from a religious journal, anent
the quarantining of the churches
in Los Angeles, seems to us to be
good reasoning and a fair state
ment of the position of the
churches:
Now that the trouble is near
ly over, and we have all been law
abiding citizens, we cannot help
but feel that the closing order
placed on churches during the
time of the epidemic, was en-
tirely unnecessary and ill-con-
sidered. Churches should not
have been put in the same cate
CORY with theaters and places of
amusement, which in many cases,
are poorly ventilated. and yet
always draw large crowds.
Religion is SO intimately con-
nected with mans life on earth
that anything which interferes
with it's due exercise, seriously
affects the morals of the com,
munity. A church is a sacred
building. 1t differs from other
buildings in this, that it is set
apart with solemn rite for the
worship of God. 1t is truly the
House of God, and gate of heav-
en-.
What objection there could
have been to permitting the faith
full to visit the church is beyond
imagining. The people were per-
mitted to pack into street cars as
closely as sardines in box. The
large stores were allowed to have
their bargain sales. No hand was
laid upon the great commercial
life of the city, but a heavy hand
was laid upon its spiritual activ-
| ity."

Hun Trenches and Dugouts.


In a letter received by the ed
ltor from his son. who is in
France, we CLEAN the following
on Hun trenches and dugouts,
which would indicate the Hun
expected to spend the winter in
them, and had no thought of the
early surrender:
This morning after | came
off duty | took a little hike thru
the hills and made an examina
ton of the German trenches and
dugouts. They certainly were
marvels at trench making. The
trenches are walled with wicker
work and fioored with planks or
duck boards. The dugouts vary
good deal in construction-some
of them are merely holes in the
wall, and some run deep into the
hills.
Back from the front lines the
officers had their quarters. They
were of concrete run over CORFU
gated steel. The concrete was
from a foot to three feet thick,
and covered with a yard or two
of earth. Inside they were fit
ted up like palaces we'll filled
book cases, beautiful beds, pic
lures on the walls; and mating
on the floor. In each was a large
fireplace or stove as the occupant
desired. Many of them had gar
dens in front, and vine-covered
porticos.
"The hospital was an immense
dug0ut, all steel and concrete
construction at the foot of the
hill. 1t had room for sixty or
seventy patients. The rooms
were electrically lighted, and to
one side was a large bath room
with concrete tubs, hot and cold
water.
"The kitchen was large and
fully equipped, with the pantry
deep under ground where no re-
frigeration was necessary.
Then there were deep dug
outs, forty or fifty feet under
ground, which were leveled out
into long galleries, and here they
had their canteens and reading
rooms for the men. 1t also pro-
vided them with sleeping quar-
ters. These deep dugouts, like
all the others, were lighted with
electricity, but when | went thru
my only light was torch" "

Hard Luck.

The quarantine has had the
churches of Winslow closed for
eight weeks, and the quarantine
was raised so there could be serv-
ices last Sunday-and then it
rained all day and interferred
with large congregations. 1t is
remarkable how easily church
people are discouraged from at
tending services, but they would
hire a closed hack if necessary
to attend some social function.
