WORKING FOR THEIR
 BOYS AT THE FRONT

The girls employed at the Fl Tovar, hotel of the Grand Can yon have formed a knitting so- ciety of their own. That is they donate the money to buy yarn. and then knit the yarn in to useful articles for the sol diers. Three complete sets have already been completed and sent to boys from the Can yon. The girls are certainly willing to work and help win the war, besides keeping up their own knitting, they are al- SC helping out the Red Cross Chapter of Williams. And the Chapter here claims that the work received from the Canyon comes up to standard.
 Any of the tourists stopping at the Ell Tovar would surely know that we are at war, as every girl you see whether at work or play is knitting. While waiting for the cook to fill an order the girls knit, they knit between courses, and some of them even go as far as to knit with one hand and serve with the other. A common sight to see is sock and a meal on the same serving. table, with the half knitted sock receiving the most attention.
 The head waitress is an ex- pert knitter,. and goes about her work knitting all the time. Her record is to sit down and knit complete sock ready for use, in three hours.
 Last week the girls ordered Forty-Four hanks of yarn, and as soon as it arrives they con template on making it up into sets, which will be available for the boys as they leave. So young fellows leaving the Can- yon VII not have to worry about getting set after they get over there, it will be furnished them before they leave.
 Recently this same society of girls made over two hundred garments for the Belgium Refugees.

PAINLESS PATRIOTISM

Using substitutes for food needed for our soldiers and the allies is called painless pa triotism."
 Pork, beef and mutton are the principal meats we must send if we would have these people---our people---over in Europe remain in the war.
 Have a wheatless meal every day and practice a little "pain- less patriotism" by usinp sub stitutes for the wheat which we must ship.
 It is not necessary to buy ba- con to obtain fats for frying other foods. This is not saving fats. There are vegetable oils which are available for this purpose.
 Corn oil for instance, is a ri- val of olive oil and other veg etable oil. Corn oil enthusiasts claim that it is superior to all others for salads and cooking purposes. It is said to be free from the absorption of odors, so, that it may be used for the frying of fish. and then after straining to fry onions, and again for frying some sweet delicacY.

COC0N|0 SELLS OVER s1Q,000 IN STAMPS
Mrs. J. A. Sine, Williams, Arizona. Dear Madam:

O0dI MdOdm
 It is gratifying to read your letter of the 18th, outlining the enthusiasm which charact- erizes the ladies of your organ ization in the sale of Thrift Stamps. The number already disposed of is encouraging, and we sincerely trust that the good work will be continued with out abatement.
 For the information of your organization 1 am pleased to tell you that the total number of stamps sold in Coconino County up to the end of Feb ruary amounted to S13,761, which is not a bad showing.
 Our representative at the Grand Canyon, MT. Dillon, has by himself disposed of practic- ally $2,OOO worth of stamps, and has two more pledges from persons who have signi- fled their willingness to take 5000 each.
 We, are receiving equally gratifying reports from other sections of the County, and trust that after our people be- come acquainted with the fine investment which War Savings Stamps afford, that they. will buy them more literally. Mar icopa Couny reports sales of $111, 1,539, Yavapai $29,316, Co., chise $25,817, Gila $2O,441. These figures were complied on February 21. The rest of the Counties at that time had sold less than $1O,O00 worth except Coconino, which was then ere dited with $1O,3O5.
 We trust that with the ad- vent of spring weather, the la dies of your organization will better be able to canvass their respective districts, and we sim cerely hope that we may have strong showing from Will jams for the month of March.
 With best wishes for. your success, 1 am
 Yours in the common cause,
 David Rabbit
 County Chairman

THOUSANDS IN WAELTH
 POURED FROM SKIES
Over 5 inches rainfall in Feb.- Worried stockmen greatly relieved-Storms valued at hundreds of thousands- High temperature saved big loss.

The following article was written in Miss Bush's class ot English.
 The precipitation for Feb ruary 1918 has been exception ally heavier than that of Feb ruary, 1917, the precipitation for the past month being five inches, which is more than it has been in years. The Cattle Region Bulletin for the week ending February IS says, ,"Wa- ter is plentiful" and this re- ported only the beginning of the recent storms.
 The worried stockmen of Northern Arizona have been greatly relieved by the recent storms as dams and all the wa ter holes were rapidly drying up, and a continued drouth would compel the .stockmen to ship in water
 Two weeks ago many were forced to anticipate. the ship- ping in of water at great expen- SC. It has been estimated that these recent storms have liter ally meant hundreds of thou sands of dollars.
 Due to the high temperature the stock loss is not what it would have been if the temper ature fell, as cold weather and no water are the enemies of the stockmen. The last storms have been for the most part rain, which is fortunate for the stockmen as the feed has not been covered up. The weather bureau reports that the late rains have been general, thus starting the early feed further south.

We understood that this was merely
an indirect way of approving our ac-

cred by the dissolution of the Haps-
burg domains. But that speech new

with Mr.. Wilson,"
Have you proofs that these words
have done your cause harm?"

"Col. Stefanik?" I inquired with

British khaki and the third that of
a French lieutenant colonel. whereas

Excellent" the colonel answered.
'I spent many months in America or
ganizing and persuading the Czecho-
Slovaks to join our army. The Amer
lean government was entirely friend
ly, permitting all those Czecho-Slo-
vaks not actually drafted into the
American Army to serve in our ma
tional army, whether citizens or un-
naturalized, and devising a method
of avoiding the law which forbids re-
cruiting in America for any foreign
army
I'VE are very proud of the conduct
of the Bohemians in America who are
loyal citizens without ceasing to love
the country of their origin. 1 have
been told that very large percen-
tage of the first volunteers in the
American Army were composed of Bo-
hemians. A large number of the men
set to guard docks and munitions
works and to prevent the approach of
Germans are also my countrymen.
