There are many beautiful candle.

which makes it seem like veritable
palace to me. On the right as you
go in. there are lot of pictures with
the finest handmade and handcarved
frames which money can ever buy.
Next to the lower pulpit, there is n
fountain with a priests heavy braided
robe OH it. and next to that there is
figure of the Virgin Mary. On tn.
other side there is figure of the

has the crucifixion of Christ, pictures
of Moses, the Virgin Mary. Christ in
the mothers arms, and at the top an

SNOW FALLS FRIDAY
Winter With His Icy Breath
Reaches Mt. Vernon
Late

Winter has finally set ii/ 1t really
truly showed carly Friday morning
when few people were out of bed or
even had Il chance to see it,
The flakes which fell in Mt. ver
mons first snow of the real winter
season were small and very light. but
snow just the same and not the fine
rain and mist which has been falling
at intervals during the last few days
and which was called snow when it
came down in October
During the latter part OF 1918, Knox
county has been very fortunate in the
matter of cold weather, having had
little chilly weather and practically
no cold weather. Even though there
were chilly days during October, the
first part of November was exception
ally warm when compared with the
same time last year, when early in
November snow fell and winter came
sooner than is usual.
Frosts this year were light unit
November and few garden patche:
were withered up prematurely. Nov
that pthe first part of November has
passed without cold weather, it may
be expected that the winter will no

VOCATIONAL EDUCA.
 TON IN ARIZ. SCHOOL 6

Under the Smith-Hughes act which passed Congress about a year ago, Arizona receives for the year 1917-18 $3O,OOO for the promotion of vocational education in the secondary schools.
 The Act virtually revolution izes the present course of study in the high schools. It lays stress on vocational agriculture, home economics, trades, and industries. It demands that from twelve to fifteen hours a week be devoted to the practi- cal work of a chosen vocation, and that drawing, mathema- tics, science, etc., or whatever the subject should be taught sc as to relate itself to this voca- ton. For instance; the stud- ent of agriculture will study the chemistry of soils, while the home economics student will study the chemistry of foods.
 Congress passed the Smith, Hughes Act with the belief that the welfare of the nation depended upon the changes to be brought about by this Act. It will enable our boys and girls to learn tangible things. subjects that relate themselves to life, and they will be equip ped to find profitable employ ment when they leave the school.
 The Smith-Hughes Act as- sumes great importance as a war measure. It will eliminate the great class of unskilled la- borers. It will teach a boy something of value in dollars to him, and will make him more useful to his community and his country.

Obeyed.

We are grateful to the subscribers
who have come in and paid up their
subscriptions in advance as required
by the War Industries Board. There
are a good many, however, who have
not. paid in advance and we were
compelled this week to drop their
from our list. We find that a
large majority of our subscribers are
greatly pleased that this order has
been issued, as they prefer to renew
their paper when the subscription
expires, instead of continuing the old
way. Hereafter, The Advertiser will
be compelled to collect all lsubscrip-
lions in advance. But we will notify
each subscriber at least 10 days be-
fore the expiration so the subscrip-
ton can be renewed without missing
an issue. Please watch your label
from week to week. We will be called
upon for a sworn statement of our
circulation from time to time and
will therefore be compelled to en-
force the pay-in-advance order.
