(From Saturdays Daily.D

The many public school teachers of Yavapai county who arc uncertain as to thir salaries continuing while the influenza epidemic has necessitated schools suspending need have no anxiety over reports in circulation that while their services are dispens- ed with their pay will stop. Such is not the case. To the contrary, dur ing the life of the quarantine full payment will be made. This was the statement made yesterday by County Superintendent Miller, who has been officially advised to this ef- feet by State Superintendent Case oi Phoenix. This official says that while Spanish influenza has caus- ed all public schools to close for all extended period, in justice to all teachers their salaries should con tinuc. It is his opinion that as mat ter of law, unless otherwise Stipulat- ed by contract, no deduction can be made from teachers salaries during the time the schools may be closed for the above reason.
 As to the law which requires ar eight-months school year, the statute also makes provision to this end 1T anticipating abnormal conditions ana the present influenza situation IS GOV cred under the emergency clause o the legislative act. In other words school is entitled 10 its full apportion ment of county and state funds ever if it is maintained for only sever months in the year.
 1 Tn harmony with the attitude O this state official, Superintendent Miller has been honoring all de mands made for teachers salaries il this county. and will continue 90 [, do as school remains closed on ac count of the flu.

OUR DOUGHBOYS
 MADE TO FEEL AT HOME
(From Saturdays Daily.D

Writing from France, Don C. Me Iver, with the Americus Overthere Theater League, has the following of interest to say concerning his amusement tour among American soldiers:
 We gave a number of performan- ces in England, one especially at Eagle Hut, where the programme lasted three hours When we land cd in Paris it was midnight, with the city pitch black as a guard against air raids In Paris we play ed for week at Soldiers and Sail ors' clubs, Y hotels and hospitals, and had much opportunity to sense the wonderful makeup of our boys Tn hospitals where we found them shot to pieces, all wore a smile and voiced the same desire to get back to the front. They are a great lot Of boys of our, and in our work of en- tertaining them we feel that we oc- cupy a rather important place. We have given our show under all sorts of conditions, from well appointed theaters, aeroplane hangars, wagon and auto truck platforms, in hospi- tals, dugouts and stables, without pianos. and yet with wonderful pianos captured from Germans. AL ways is the place jammed, with hun dreds on the outside to hear and see Have given as high as eight shows in one day, and the boys give us royal welcome.
 "Was walking down a street in Troyes the other day and met ' man covered with mud and trench dirt, and on getting real close dis covered it was Judge Frank O. Smith of Prescott. You can imagine the meeting. He stayed over and saw our show, and saw what it meant to Americans. He was more than en- thusiastic about my own humble ef- forts. He had an opportunity to wit ness a most touching incident. It was this: An American aviation of- l 'lCCG dil DuSlCu up siaii A4SAiLH A~ sick. We loaded him on a stretcher and brought him in a truck to see our show. Had him hear real songs, real jazz by two dandy men and some sweet songs by real American girl and the boy was so happy that he cried out loud. That is what enter | tainment means over here.
 'We have given five shows as ter " was dropping shells on us. We are equipped with tin hats and gas masks. no other baggage except the music roll and my egg bag. We arc taking the show where the boys are taking chances with them as the bull lets whistle and the shells roar. Our slogan is this: We are over here till its over"
 ''I often get an empty feeling for old Yavapai, but I have never beer so tired. dirty or happy in all my life as here.''

House Detective Joseph Rashman burst into room 636.
 George w. Lemons, one of the greatest men in the world, or some thing, stood, bent double, in the mid dle of the floor. Georges hair was mussed. His clothing was dishevel- ed. His pockets turned inside out.

 George told his story to Detective Eastman and Chief House Detective Fitzgerald.
 Orville, the bell hop, had gone home as usual at o'clock. Alvarez had checked out. Allison King had disappeared. And George w. Lem ons had learned that with all he knew about women from the Yukon to London he had learned some more from a pretty Y year old Chicago girl, said to be an actress out of a job.
