Local Happenings.

NII. anu MFS. w III. hudson, Oh
San Bernardino, arrived in Win.
slow last Saturday to visit the
family of H. A. Coble.
Misses Pauline Woods and Mar
guerite Drumm were in the city
last Monday evening to attend
the Elks' annual ball, and re-
mained over New Years Day.
Miss Newman, who has been
visiting several weeks at the
home of her uncle, Alex Robert
son, left last Saturday after
noon for her home in Canada.
Mrs. L. Peralta, of this city,
was married in Flagstaff Christ
mas night to Mr.. J. Armigo of
that city, the ceremony being
performed in the Catholic church.
Rev. and Mrs. w. J. Gordon
left Monday for their new home
at Nogales. A farewell recep-
ton was rendered them at the
home of Mrs. Bowen last Friday
evening.
Mrs. C. H. McKellips received
word Sunday that her mother,
residing at Beloit, Kansas, had
passed away that day, and she
left Immediately to be present at
the funeral.
Miss Ella Dadey has returned
to Navajo county again, and is
now a clerk in the office of Lloyd
Henning at Holbrook. The young
lady was visiting in Winslow with
her former old friends over New
Years.
Early Tuesday morning, Dec.
9th, baby girl twins were born
to Mr.. and Mrs. E. 7. McMillin,
of north Warren avenue. Due
to long continued illness of the
mother the babies were not
strong, and only lived a short
time.
Mr.. M. H. Moore, and Mrs. H.
E. FRANKIE and daughter, of Mil
waukee, who have been visiting
Grandma Moore for several
weeks, departed Sunday for Cali
fornia, where they will remain
for a short time, returning to
their home by way of New
Orleans.
The mother of C. J. Willis is
spending the winter here with
the family of her son, and as
she reads of the extremely cold
weather and snow storms in her
home town of Providence, r. l.,
she is glad she is in Arizona for
the winter, where we are having
such balmy spring days.
Prof. L. B. Moore returned
Monday from Phoenix, where he
accompanied Mrs. Moore to place
her in St. Luke sanatarium for
the winter. Mrs. Moore has
been in the hospital at Albuquer-
que for several months, but was
SO much improved that it was
thought she would improve faster
in the mellow climate at Phoenix.
DR.. Brown was called to Snow
flake last Saturday to attend
Miss Della Smith, the 12-year-
old daughter of Mr.. Jos. w.
Smith, who had broken the bones
in her right ankle and foot. The
young lady was attempting the
acrobatic feat of walking the
railing on the bridge near Snow
flake, when she lost her balance
and fell to the bottom of the
wash, a distance of about twenty
feet.
We have a letter from J. E.
Biller, who with Mr.. McNally,
left here for California about
three months ago to force their
way into the United States army,
and from his letter they have
evidently been successful. They

Red Cross Notes.
The following note reached the
local Red Cross this week:

Inc fOllOWlng note feacneQ the
local Red Cross this week:
Fourth Company, U. S. Disciplinary Barracks
Guard, Acatraz Calf, Dec. 25. 1917.
Apaehe-Navajo Counties Chapter. American Red
Cross, Arizona.
Dear Ladies:
In behalf of myself and the
members of the 4th Co., U. S.
Disciplinary Barracks Guard it
affords me great pleasure thank
ing you for the Christmas pack
cts which were received by us
this Christmas morning.
81 can assure you all the men,
many of whom have no home
ties or connections, as we'll as
myself, appreciate these gifts
beyond all measure, coming as
they do at this critical period in
our individual and national life.
With best wishes for the con-
tinued success of your noble work
and wishing you all a Happy New
Year, | remain,
Yours truly,
HENRY E. ZEIGLER,
1st Sergt. 4th Co., U. S. D. B. G.
as r. The above letter is only one of
many expressions of appreciation
which frequently reach this Of
flee, and all may be assured that
anything they do through the
Red Cross will reach those for
whom intended, although ru-
mors to the contrary are often
foated by those who are spread
ing the German propaganda. 1t
is our Red Cross-yours and mine.
Uphold it and all that it does.
By hindering the work of the
Red Cross you aid the Kaiser.
Which are you doing? Come to
the Red Cross headquarters. You
will be welcomed. Lend your
moral influence, if no more...
Another one of the pleasant
surprises of the past week was a
check for $55. Is which came as
donation from the Red Cross
branch at Springerville.

INSOMNIA CHEATS
PARCHED THROATS
AT TOWNS OASIS

FREDERICK. Nd, Aug. 6-The
wherewithal to slake that burning
thirst, which has made Frederick not
unlike the great sandy stretches Of
the Sahara Desert since May l.,
reached Frederick recently after
much delay. II (the thirst-slacker)
came in 100 cases, it's amber tints
cleaning refreshingly through crew
ices in the cases, resting on . truck
of many tons capacity.
Still cleaning amberishly. that
which was to make an oasis in other
wise dry Frederick was carried from
the truck with extreme care and like
caution into the storeroom of one Of
Frederick's clubs. Inside members in
good standing stood by looking on in
keen satisfaction and anticipation.
Although the lager beer was
brought into Frederick at night and
unloaded Immediately. It appears that
erick's temperate folks was restless
in sleep and just happened to look out
at the club across the street, where
gentlemen in days gone by had been
won't to refresh themselves. Lo and
behold, this total abstainer saw case
after case being carried into the club.
The arrival OF the cargo OF wet
goods began to be whispered around.
States Attorney Aaron r. Anders
heard. He at once gave orders that
the consignment OF lager be removed.
There was a howl OF protest. It
was claimed that II was for individu-
al use and had been bought by these
club members for their own indi-
.,NI Nd
was proposed to consume II amid the
sacred precincts and confines OF the
club In proper masculine atmosphere.
But 1t was not to be. 1t was held
by the States attorney that innocent
parties would be the goats" So.
with considerably less enthusiasm
and with funeral-like utterances. the
wherewithal was hauled away again.
Where to, was not disclosed.

CROWDER CALLED
BEFORE SENATE:
GIVES DRAFT DATA

Provost Marshal General Crowder
was called before the Senate Military
Affairs Committee today, when the
first hearing OF the new man power
bill was held.
Crowder stated before entering the
meeting that he didn't know why he
had been called, as an the information
he had on the subject had been in
corporated in his letter to Secretary
Baker, which was filed with the bill
by Senator Chamberlain.
The provost marshal general told
members of the committee that the
amendment to the present selective
service act substituting the words
occupations and employments" in
stead of Industries. including agri-
culture" was because it was thought
that the draft boards should have
wider scope" in the control OF ex-
emptions and of men between
thirty-two and forty-five.
He said that the date OF registra-
ton suggested. September 8. was
only tentative and that the depart
ment may change this. 1t was
planned, Crowder told committee
members, to make the registrations
and the drawing fall on the same
day.

can casualties during the past forty
eight hours have been amazingly
slight, considering the depth Of our
advance. An advanced dressing sta
tion is empty, the doctors are idle,
and ambulances are lined up, with
the drivers resting. Everything bears
out the statement of officers and men
that "there hasn't been a battle for
the last two days-Just a march"
Over the ground OF The recent bitter
nghting a striking note was that all
German dead ;ay lin valleys, woods
and GOWNS. while the American dead
were On :he ridges. This is due 20
the boche system OF establishing ma
chine-gun nests. When in villages or
woods. the enemy machine guns are
carefully placed in hollows 200 yards
from the top of rise Or plateau. The
advancing Americans have no lint OF
resistance until they reach the crest
Of the elevation. The boches are then
able to open a surprise fire. and the
doughboys have to rush the nests.
The entire country from the Marne
to the Vesle is now a vast scene Of
wreckage. Scarcely a mirror even re-
mains unbroken. .he boches having
smashed them with hammers.
Every town and village is wrecked.
Not 4 house Is intact.
