Soiled Doves Leave.

County Attorney Larson was
in Winslow Wednesday on one of
his regular trips to clear the
town of the soiled doves. who
manage to float in here from time
to time between the regular
visits of the County Attorney.
Two of the painted danes, who
have been living in the A. c..
hotel for some time, left early
on the morning of the arrival of
Mr.. Larson, but he found one
upstairs over the Poy store and
ordered her to leave. Mr.. Larson
will be in the city again to-day
with some warrants, which will
be served if the parties return.

Disloyal Postmaster.

According to the Mohave Coun-
ty Miner the postmaster at Chlor-
ide, J. M. Russell, who has been
in charge of the office for several
years, was removed from office
last week because he refused to
display the American flag from
the postofice, and it was further
charged he had told people the
Liberty Loan was not good and
advised against the purchase of
bonds. If these reports are true
it was time he was removed from
his position, as no one should be
allowed in the government SER
vice who is not thoroughly loyal
in every thought and word.

Books for Soldiers.

1t seems to be necessary to call
attention again to the matter of
donating books for the soldiers.
The number to be gathered in
Winslow has now been raised to
400, and that number can easily
be secured if every one will Gull
over his library and give such
books as he no longer cares to
preserve. Prof. G. C. Grover has
this matter in charge, and if you
will telephone him at the high
school. advising you have books
to give, he will send a messenger
to get them. He wants to get
the books all assembled and
shipped within the next two
weeks. Books with the covers
gone, or the binding in poor con-
dition, are just as acceptable as
others, because the government
rebinds them free of expense.
Take a day off to go over your
books, and lay out those you
will give, and then call Mr..
Grover early Monday morning.

Miss Crandell offered her SER

Miss Crandell offered her SER
vices to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association for work at the
French front and was accepted
February IA, 1918. She sailed a
few days later on a vessel that
was pursued for two days by
submarines. Though not con-
voyed until the last forty eight
hours of the voyage, the ship es-
capped.
Miss Crandell was versatile
and accomplished woman. She
was prominent in educational
circles in America. She was ed
ucated in France and Germany
after fnishing'a collegiate course
in this country.
After eight years of study of
art and the romance languages
in France, Miss Crandell offered
her services to the Y. M. C. A.
and was given charge of a large
canteen near the firing line.
The cable to Mrs. Mccormack
stated that she was seated at the
fireside of the canteen when the
shell exploded that caused her
death.

Woman Sacrifices Life.

American soldier boys are not
the only heroes on the battle
front in France. Within the past
week two young American wo-
men, who were post exchange
workers for the Y. M. c. A., have
been killed by German bombs.
One of the women, Miss Marion
G. Crandell, was a sister of Mrs.
S. Mccormack of Kingman.

Parcels for Overseas.

Because the people at home
have been sending so much stuff
to the American soldiers in
France, a great deal of which
was useless and unnecessary,
and in some cases the shipments
were in violation of law, the
postoffice department has issued
an order that on and after April
1st, parcels for members or in
dividuals connected with the eX-
peditionary forces in Europe will
not be accepted for mailing or
dispatched unless they contain
such articles only as are being
sent ct the written request of
the addressee, approved by his
regimental or higher commander,
or an executive member of the
organization with which he is
connected. In other words the
soldier will have to request the
shipment of an article before it
will be accepted in the mails.
Postmasters must secure the as
surance of the sender in each
case that all the articles con-
tained in the parcel are being
sent at the addresses approved
written request, and that the
written request is enclosed in the
package, by requiring the sender
to place on the wrapper under
his name and address the follow
ing endorsement: 'This parcel
contains only articles sent at ap-
proved request of addressee,
which is enclosed. This rule is
to be strictly enforced by all
DOStmaSterS.
