when speaking of the smallpox cpl
demic that is reported to be spread

said that there were cases of small
pox at four different places in this
city and at these four places there
were ten cases.
81 have heard some people say that
the disease was brought here by the
soldiers that have visited in this city.
This is not true. To my certain
knowledge the disease was brought
here by members of the Ringing
Brothers circus.
The doctor said the disease was in
q very mild form 80 far but that the
farther it progressed the worse 1t got
and that It's spread could not be
entirely checked by quarantine. "The
only safe preventative is to he Yacci-

Amsterdam, Jan. Proceedings
of the main reichstag committee,
which is now in session in Berlin
and reports of which are reaching
here, show that the Center party is
supporting Germany's contention that
Poland, Lithuania and Courland are
separate entities of Russia.
Germany's contention for the non
withdrawal of troops from these sec
tions is presumably supported by the
majority in the main committee.
This is the main stumbling block in
the way of Russia's acceptance of the
general terms of peace.
It is known that the Social-Demo-
Gratis, who are in sympathy with the
peace movement, are strongly oppos-
ed to the attitude taken by the Cen
ter, being eager to see the negotia-
tions with the Bolsheviki carried to
a successful conclusion.

London, Jan. 1.-The dramatic turn

lied cause more than the winning of
great battle, in the opinion Of COM

The reported rejection of the Ger

will result in another Joint allied ef-

WANT R. J. KIDD FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

There will be many people pleased to know of the announcement of R. J. Kidd as a candidate for the office of justice of the peace on the Republican ticket-not so much that he announces as candidate on the Republican tick ct, as the fact that he is candidate for that office; realizing that he is especially we'll qualified for the place by years of experience in years gone by as probate judge of Coconino county.
 To the many people who know Judge Kidd there is little or no need of speaking of his qualifications for the office--a better man could not be chosen; to those who are not so we'll acquainted with him, it may be said that he is in reality a rancher doing overtime work on his ranch near Cliffs, and extra time on book work in order that there shall be no very gaunt wolf at the door when Uncle Sam's great world war is at an end.
 In goodly sense he has been drafted for the race by his friends, who believe he could best serve them in this office. He has no idea other than that carrying out the law in jus tice to those who may be compelled to come into his court for the adjudi- cation of their civil troubles in the most expeditions manner.

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 20. 1918. Board of Trade, Flagstaff, Ariz.:
 The nations war industries are fac ing disaster through shortage of un- skilled workers amounting to one mil lion men right now, with situation growing more serious as draft expan- sion becomes operative. Urgent ap- peal from Washington calling on Ari- zona for 2,640 unskilled laborers, which is twice original quota for state. Advices from Washington say these men must be secured for war indus tries regardless of what happens to private industries, but men cannot be taken from mines, railroads or farms. Government is appealing to your as- sociation to cooperate with U. s. Elm ployment Service here in helping re- cruit these men. Will you not adopt resolutions calling on all employers to use the service in hiring unskilled workers and notifying of release of them and asking workers to use serv- ice for getting jobs. Half of state quota will be sent to other states for war work. Suggest appointment of committee to cooperate with labor community board and local employ ment service. This drive for unskilled workers for war industries will con- tinue for about four weeks, and we are counting on the active support of your organization every minute of the time. Give this matter widest pub licity through local papers, public meetings and bulletins. Victory de- pends upon it.
