Ban Raised on Beef

Phoenix, January 16. Re lief for the stock interests of Arizona, California, Nev- ada, Idaho, Washington and Oregon is contained in a new order issued by Herbert Hoover to federal food ad- ministrators of the states mentioned.
 This raises the ban on the use of beef, mutton, veal and lamb on "Meatless' days, thus changing the meaning of that term to "porkless."
 This action was taken at the conference of food ad- ministrators held at Wash ington last week in which Arizona was represented by George H. Smalley, execu- tive secretary for the office of the federal food admins tratOr for Arizona.
 At this meeting the pecu- liar situation of the western stock men was presented. With drought conditions general throughout these states and with prices on all lines of. feed exceptionally high, there has been a sud- den demand for transporta- tion with which to market stock,a a demand so great that it-could not possibly be met and the stock men were forced with the choice of feeding throughout the win tor or allowing their stock to perish, they said.
 To remedy this situation, it was thought advisable to stimulate local demand by allowing beef, veal, mutton and lamb to be served free ly and at all times for sixty days ending March 13. Dur ing this period the restric- tion will be confined to the use of pork. There will be two porkless days a week, Tuesday and Saturday and one porkless meal for all other days. In this connec- tion, pork is defined to in- clude all kinds of fresh, salt, and pickled pork, as well as ham, bacon and lard. MT. Hoover urgently requests that this porkless program be closely adhered to by all Arizonans.

WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS That HdUe Been Noted by The NetOs' Staff for the Edifcation Of Its Readers. Really Worth PerusdI.
School Notes

School work, which wa somewhat broken up by th' unpleasant conditions of las year, has settled down into regular routine during the past week. Prof. Dolman'. cheerful smile instantly wor for him the cooperation o1 teachers, old and new, anC cooperation and courtesy seem likely. to become the motto of the HolbrooA schools for the coming year.
 A new departmental plar is being followed whereby the 5, 6, z and 9th grades are merged with the high school and each subject is taught by a special teacher. Class room teachers are as follows: 9th 6 9th, MT. Enderton, 2 & 9th, Miss Stone, High School, Mrs. Warner. These teachers take the roll and are gener- ally responsible for condi- tions in their own respective rooms but pupils pass to the other rooms for recitations.
 The girls of the high school planned and carried out a most delightful enter tainment in honor of all the teachers on Friday evening of last week. Pupils above the 4th grade were present and many of the parents came in spite of bad weather. A program representing the varied talents of the teachers was carried out very success fully. There were violin and piano solos, vocal selec- tions and readings, all well rendered and all agreed that it was the most successful entertainment of the school year both as to numbers and the interest manifested by those present. Dainty re- treatments were served by the pupils.
 The teachers are enjoying most excellent cooperative lunches at the building dur ing this inclement weather. Miss Stone, the Domestic Science teacher, is general manager and is ably assisted by Mir. Enderton who acts as business manager and treasurer.
 The teachers gave a most delightful six o'clock dinner in honor of Mir. and Mrs. Dolman on Saturday of last week. The dinner was serv- ed in the Domestic Science room and was well cooked and we'll served. Mrs. Dol man arrived on Friday from Los Angeles and is now busy in the cfice where she finds much to do in assisting MT. Dolman to clear the decks for action.
 The pupils and teachers are enjoying a treat in being allowed to listen to some of the fine records in the music department. These records are somewhat expensive and can be used to great advan- tage by a teacher of music who understands her work as we'll as Mrs. Warner, and who also has control enough over her pupils to enable her to play them to a quiet, at- tentive audience.

Kaiser and DeUiI Meet

l J S~O - OOO@ ON~ W - O--- a California newspaper from some of his friends in that state. The clipping tells of a meeting between the kaiser and devil and what happened. The article was written by Wright M. Cooney and is as follows)
 The kaiser met the devil in an agitated way, and the devil stopped his prodding just to hear what Bill would say.
 Bill approached him quite contritely, for he wanted something done; he would make his last endeavor to enlist him with the Hun.
 So he said, My good satan, I'm in trouble, Pm afraid; if we do not work together, sure as hell my grave is made. I have wor- ried and I've wondered, and the Huns stand in dismay, when they hear the prepara- tion over in the U. s. A.
 'I had thought that Gott was with me, but of late He's hard as bone, so I've come for your assistance and wel'll oust Him from his throne. Now dear Satan, won't you help me? We're a team that would work well, and when the awful war is over wePll own heaven, earth and hell.
 "I surely am disgusted with the Gott up in the skies instead of helping me, He's helping the allies. Just say the word and I'll abide; you come along, but I'll decide; and tonight at just eleven, I'll call out a string of Zep- pelins and we'll make a raid on heaven.
 All this while old satan wondered, scratched his head and then he pondered. When he found his equilib- rum, after Bill had gotten through, he addressed Bill Hohenzollern in these words, l severe but true:
 "You're a dirty, lowbrow ingrate, you're the worst I ever knew; you are dippy, talking fiighty, and to win your greatest blunder you would wreck your God AL mighty.
 'You for years have had a notion that you had a re- gular call, and some day you'd rulein heaven, but, oh, Bill, you'll get a fall. And this fall is-not far distant; it | is coming sure as hell, for the allies have your measure and they will fix you good | and well.
 "You have stopped to the lowest level; you have bro- ken every rule; all the world is now against you, you're a great big jackass fool.
 "I don't like your talk or methods; Pm the Devil, that is true, but you've wrecked and butchered millions, and 1 have no use for you.
 Look at Belgium, poor bleeding Belgium; look at France, and England, too; all because you had a notion that the world you could subdue.
 "For punishing, I've a re- putation, but I've watched

TELLS OR HEROISM
 OF ALABAMA BOYS

letter from John L. Dismukes, Jr., of Nashville, who is in the Rainbow divf- sion, written to his father, contains the following reference to Alabama boys as published in the Nashville Banner:
 There was little Jew from Birming- ham, with both legs shot off. He was ly- ing by a dugout, and asked another boy from Birmingham to pun him out, as he was shot. The other boy said: You haven't got damn thing on me- and laid back and died with smile on his face. The boys were all cool and held their heads fine. There was no confusion at all. Litter bearers worked with the great est bravery during the heaviest part of the bombardment. The French think the American soldiers are the best in the world, and we know they are. A little private in the Alabama machine gun company was in the front lines when the Germans came over the top, and they say he killed over a company of German. and shot over 14,000 rounds of ammuni- tion. He burnt pp his gun, and finally was wounded. Another boy brought down g plane with his automatic rifle.
 "The barbed wire in front of thu trenches was strewn with dead, ane neither side could remove their dead The bodies began to oecay. and it certainly was unpleasant to be around there. have never seen such gruesome sights in my life, but guess it is all in war"
