ASKS THAT PIMA
 SCHOOL BE CLOSED

Dr. H. Yandell, health officer of the Indian school, has written letter to w. F. Haygood, superintendent of the Pima Indian reservation, asking that the agency and school be closed for an indefinite period on account of Spanish influenza. The letter follows:
 MT. w. F. Haygood, Superintendent, Pima Indian Reservation, Sacaton, Ari- zona. Dear MT. Haygood: On account of the rapidly spreading Spanish in- fluenza' throughout the land, am here by asking that this agency and school be quarantined for an indefinite period
 Allow only those to go out or come in who have business that is very ur- gent No employe should leave these premises or allow friends from without to visit him during this epidemic. Place public notices Gin large print at the local stores, demanding the peo- pie on this reservation to remain al home and have no public gatherings.
 Allow only one individual to the family to come to the stores to buy necessary supplies; this will dispense with the unnecessary loafing at the stores.
 These precautions are taken in keep. ing with those throughout the United States
 Yours very sincerely. (Signed) 'DR. H. YANDELL, Health Officer"

MESALOANST THEU.S.
 HER QUOTA AND GOES
 RIGHT 0N WORKING

MESA, Oct. 11-Mesa is lover the top" and there is rejoicing among the faithful, loyal citizens of this district. Mesa, Alma, Jordan and Lehi are all included and the heavy amount of $165 per capita for the district, amounting to $121, ,150, has been more than raised and the time not yet half over.
 Yesterday at the close of business the receipts were s125,6O0 with several outside committees yet to report. A splendid act of community good fel- lowship occurred yesterday in the local headquarters when Mrs. Stadlman, the chairman, wrote note to Gilbert, tell ing that district that $500 contributed here had been transferred by the local managers to the sister city. This is because George W. Silverthorn, a local attorney, R. Morrison and c. B. Jones all have their ranches in the Gilbert section, and the amount of their sub scriptions will help out that commun- ity, which really is entitled to the amounts.
 It was a great day in Mesa. Every where was seen manifest spirit of enthusiasm in the swelling of the fund. | The headquarters workers were busy all day taking subscriptions, and long before night it was seen that the ap- portionment would be reached. It had been announced that the work would stop when the top was reached, but the message of the president given out yesterday caused a reversal of this decision and the office will be kept open regularly until the close of the cam paign. While nearly 800 people have subscribed, there are a number who are waiting until the cotton begins mov- ing, many of the ranchers being very short of funds, yet who will have money as soon as they can sell some cotton. It is believed that good many thousand dollars will be added before the close of the campaign. Meanwhile Mesa and the Mesa district breathes g long sigh of thankfulness and of relief that once again there is evidence of the patriotism and unswerving loyalty ot it's people.

Rienhardt are there attending the Pythian grand lodge They expected to return on Thursday, but word has come that all meetings are discontinued on account of the Spanish influenza, so they will likely return earlier.
 Miss Glynn, who has taught for sev- eral years in the Winkleman school has resigned and a teacher from Los An geles is expected to take her place soon. Miss Glynn will specialize on certain studies and will in all probability ac- cept another position in the near flu ture.
 Rev. Slack from Tucson has moved to Winkleman and assumed charge of the Presbyterian church. He conducted services for the first time on Sunday, Oct. 6. The people have received the new pastor royalty and hopes are en- tertained of building up a strong con- gregation there.

WAR DEPARTMENT
 INSTRUCTOR HERE
 MEETS WITH BOARD

J. w. Perkins, travelling inspector and instructor in the work instituted under General Order Number 76 of the War Department, was in Phoenix yesterday and met with the instruc tion boards for Arizona.
 Mr. Perkins is one of the men who is responsible for the establishment of the instruction boards all over the United States, for the purpose of giv- ing preliminary drill and instruction to the new recruits under the draft before they go to camp, and now spends his entire time travelling from place to place looking over the work being done.
 The Phoenix instruction board, con- sisting of c. V. Gulley, chairman, and w. l.. Barnum and Dr. Geo. W. Vickers, together with representatives of all the instruction boards in the state, met with MT. Perkins yesterday and conferred. You are doing here in Phoenix" said MT. Perkins, just what the War Department wants you to do, and you are doing it as well or better than in any of the many places I have visited.
 The importance of this prelimin- ary training from the standpoint of | the army, and of the individual sol | dier as an individual is beyond calcu- lation. You teach him to take care of | himself, the ordinary courtesies of army life, preliminary drill that will enable him to become a better sol | dier in a shorter time-in all, the work you do will help to win the war soon- CT, because it will make larger mum | bers of men sooner available
 On Allotment Papers
 | Among the things taught by the local instruction board, whose work of training the next draft of about 1900 men from this district will begir at the Polk street grounds as soon as the influenza epidemic is past, is proper filling of allotment papers. Mr Perkins stated that there are in Wash ington at this time over 100000 al lotments made out in a faulty man her, and that the dependents of these million men are in consequence sui fering, for that reason, that, in mos cases the army authorities have nt way of knowing who or where these | dependents are, since the soldiers, il filling out or in failing to fill ou | properly these important papers, dit not give the proper information.
 The same thing is true to a larg
 extent in the matter of insurance.

NEXT GRAND LODGE
 K. 0F ?. HELD IN TEMPE
PAGE SEVEN

TEMPE. Oct. 12.-Tempe lodge, Knights of Pythias, is still on the boom The grand representatives, Herzberg and Clark, returned Friday from a ses- sion of the grand lodge at Miami. While there they secured the grand chancellorship for one of Tempe's members, J. O. Mullen. Furthermore, the grand representatives lived up to their instructions and secured the next session of the grand lodge of Knights of Pythias and Pythian Sisters. They report that the grand lodge session, though short on account of quarantine, was an extremely busy one. The local Tempe lodge is enjoying an added en- thusiasm and already has a class of prospective members assured. Since the Liberty loan is the topic of the day, it is well to mention that the lodge just subscribed s250 toward the fourth loan. This makes s2,000 that this pa- triotic order has loaned Uncle Sam.
