Hold the FLAG Sacred.

The rills of resolution that recently
have inspired earnest and impressive
but locally scattered manifestations
of disapproval for demonstrations Of
disloyalty or erroneous concepts of
civic obligation are gathered into one
mighty stream. The symbolism of
the flag, of which the disloyal prove
the correctness by their acts of desc

luminous than on this fourteenth day
of June in this tremendous year Of

GOOD SERVICE

Mail contractor, David K. Udall who runs the mail from Holbrook to Edgar via of Hunt, Concho, St. Johns and Springerville has been hard pressed during the past five weeks. Up to that time the mail was being carried with autos and the service was except ionally good.
 AS every one remembers the past winter has been one of eX- .tremes and when the heavy snow fell and continued to fall, all traf- fic by autos was forced to stop. Mr. Udall immediately employed men and horses to carry the mail, and to give any kind of service at all he was obliged to hire 22 head of horses, seven men and one automobile to do the job, the automobile ran from Holbrook to Woodruff. The expense has been enormous. With this big force on a drive of 206 miles, at times, it was almost impossibls to make the trip.
 During the five weeks, that it was necessary to keep these men and teams on the road. only one trip has been missed. Exception ally good service when one takes into consideration the terrible road conditions.
 In good weather only two men and autos are used on the road.

$6O.OO BONUS TO BE
 PAID TO SOLDIERS

Section 14O6 of the Revenue
 Act approved February "A. 1919 authorizes the payment of a bonus
 of $60.00 to officers, soldiers. field
 clerks and nurses of the Army upon honorable separation from active service by discharge, res
 ignation or otherwise. This bonus is not payable to the heirs or rep resentatives of any deceased sol- dier.
 Those who are discharged here after will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which they are paid their final pay.
 Those who have been discharg- ed and have received their final pay without the $6O.OO bonus, should write a letter to the Zone Finance Officer, Lemon Building, Washington. D. C., stating their service since April 6, 1917, the date of last discharge and their present address to which they de- sire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this letter their discharge certificates or military order for discharge and both, if both were issued.
 Upon the receipt by the Zone Finance Officer, Washington, D. C., of this information and the soldiers discharge certificate, this officer will cause checks to be drawn and mailed to the claim ants in the order in which their claims were received by him. The discharge certificate will be returned to the soldier with the check.
 It is estimated that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits of this Act and while will be made as eXpe- as practicable, it will manifestly talk considerable time to write and mail this many checks.

VISITS PHOENIX

w. H. Gibbons returned Tues. day from Phoenix where he went
 to attend the Democratic Con-
 vention called for February 9th.
 When Mr. Gibbons got to Hol-
 brook he found that Navajo coun- ty was sending two of it's super
 visors to Phoenix to look after tax
 business in connection with the new railroad that is being built in that county. MT. Gibbons at once became interested, knowing that this new railroad company had town and sawmill located in Apache county, where much tim Der would be made up into lum- Der. So he joined these gentle men and V went with them before the tax commission in the inter- est of Apache county and he was assured that the timber which will be cut in Apache county will be taxable in our county.
 MT. Gibbons went to Phoenix on his own expense. but never theless he kept hls eyes open for Apache county and in our opinion the county should pay his ex- penses while on this trip.
 While in Phoenix he attended two meetings held by the demo- crats of the state. He says that they were the best political meet ing that he has ever attended. Many new thoughts were express ed and new plans laid for future use.
 The meeting most emphatically condemned Governor Campbell for vetoing the Good Roads bill. Mr. Gibbons says that the veto ing of this bill is not at all con- sistant with Governor Campbell's nice talk before the good roads held al Phoenix last January.
 Every democratic member of the legislature has voted for the good roads bill and will continue to do so. The bill will go back to the governor with the emergency clause removed and if Governor Campbell vetOs It again he will certainly go down on record as a purely party man.

Why Colds Are Dangerous

You are often told to "beware of a cCld," but why? We will tell you: Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers the vitality and paves the way for the more seri- ous diseases. People who con- tract pneumonia first take cold. The longer the cold hangs on, the greater the danger, especially from the germ diseases, as a cold prepares the system for the re- ception and development of the germs of consumption. diphtheria scarlet fever and whooping cough. The quicker you get rid of your cold, the less the danger of con- tracting one of these diseases. Ghamberlain's Cough Remedy has a great reputation as a cure for colds and can be depended upon.
 It is pleasant to take. Adv.

The opera ''The Chimes of Normandy" which will be put on by the St. Johns Academy tonight and tomorrow night, has been un- der preparation for months, and Prof. Anderson, supported by the chorus and principal has worked for it's success.

 Being at the matinee Chimes of Normandy last night, given by the Academy, 1 would like to say that it is the best opera eyer staged here. The story is brought out plain and clear by all of the actors. The costumes were ship ped from Chicago especially for this occasion and are beautiful. The academy has long had the reputation of having the best musical talent in the country. Go out tonight and hear the best music and singing you have ever heard. In any city it would cost you at least $1. 50 to see this opera, you can get the same here for 35 and Soc. Come out and back up the school. J. s.

FAMOUS 18th BAND Coming Home Soon Cover
 ed With Glory

Near Bordeaux, France, Feb 4.-Unless some unforeseen mill tary jinx bobs up and queers things, the home folks in Arizona and Southern California will soon have the pleasure of listening to the 158th Infantry band, which was chosen out of all musical or ganizations in the American Ex- peditionary Forces to play for President Wilson during the chief executives stay in Paris. After a sixteen weeks stay in Paris. during which no less than four concerts were played each day, the famous old Arizona border Eand managed to sneak out of the little burg beside the Seine, in spite of the violent protests of Parisians, in order to rejoin it's regiment which, with other or ganizations in the 40th division, expect to sail for the states at an early date.
 During it's season in Paris the band was engaged by a large French photograph concern (Pathe Freres) to make a dozen records of late American jazz" melodies and these records are enjoying an almost unprecedent- ed demand throughout France.
 The 158th band is far from be- ing an unknown quantity in Cali fornia and Arizona. Organized many years ago when the 158th used to be known by it's pre-war title: First Infantry, Arizona National Guard" the organiza- tion enjoyed a good reputation from one end of the border to the other. In June 1917. Band Lead CT Albert R. Etzweiler decided that there was no limit to the height to which his organization could rise in the military musical world, and steps were immediate ly taken to increase the organiZa- tion both in size and effic ency. This movement was carried on after the arrival of the Arizona regiment at Camp Kearney until the 158th modestly admitted that it's band was the best in the big Southern California cantonment.
 The band that played in Paris was practically i'd critically the same organization that played throughout Southern California during the Third Liberty Loan campaign last Spring and toured it's home state, Arizona, in June of last year, prior to its departure overseas.
 Following are the members of the organization who will be able to look back in later years upon the fact that they were chosen to play in the gayest city in the world upon the occasion of the first visit to Europe of any prasi- dent of the United States:
 Musician Walter J. Born, Doug las, Arizona.
 Musician Carl o. Bystrom, Warren, Minn.
 Corporal Frank L. Christensen, St. Johns, Arizona

Strong Points In Cummins' Plan.

CQmforted and sustained by the
hope that political control Of the rail-
roads may be so wisely guided that
these evils will be averted, the coun-
try and the owners of the railway sys-
toms may congratulate themselves up
on two welcome provisions OF Sen
ator Cumming bill, The first Ia that
government operation will cease and
tho railroads be returned to private
management within month after the
enactment of the measure. The Sec
ond is that. in return for benefits and
advantages granted, railway labor
must give up the privilege Of striking.
The attempt Of any person In defiance
Of finding OF the wage committee
approved by the transportation board,
or on finding Of the board itself when
appealed to in case Of tie, Is to be
punished by fine or imprisonment, or
both, This applies not only to wage
earnefs, but to the officers and man
ayers of the companies. Interruption
Of traffic and transportation by strikes
and lockouts Is thus put, where 1t all
ways should have been. IN the category
Of punishable offenses. This Is a very
Substantial gain for the public, SEN

If WE GET IT WELL HAVE TO EARN IT.

Speaking of the general situation the
other day a man expressed his peilci
that the eight-hou day would be eX-
tended to ten hours. With so many
non-vroducers he was convinced tha>
the worlds needs could not be supplied
unless workers worked longer hours.
The eight and nine hour day, how
ever seem to have come to stay,
Granted so much then the way out Is
to decrease the number Of non pro-
ducers and increase the number OF
producers. That indeed is the theory
the country Is working on to a very
great extent That was the theory OF
the war garden and the various activ-
tiles that stimulated and accomplished
increased production in war. That Is
to be the central idea Of the national
conference on rural schools and coun-
try life to be held at Sioux Falls next
month.
But the hours Of labor can be cut
only SO far without touching the quick
Of national and individual welfare. The
impression which seems to have been
imbibed by some branches Of labor
that hours and efficiency can be may
be cut to the vanishing point while
wages remain at the old scale or plac-
ed on a higher one Is as inimical to the
interests of honest labor as twelve or
sixteen-hour day is unjust and de-
structive. II 1t continues to gain

Labor, which includes all producing
effort and service of all necessary
kinds, may, by working two days out OF
the week, buy enough cornmeal and
sowbelly to exist on thru the other five
days. 1t Is common custom among
southern blacks in the more ignorant
belts. But that policy Of life does not

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
William, Cecil,
is IT YOURS7
SEPT. 10, 1920.

William Cecil, favorite and counsellor
of Queen Elizabeth, and known gener-
ally as Lord Buhleigh. was born In
England in 1920. He was bright lad
and at Is was distinguishing himself
at college. While there his interest In
Greek led him to a friendship with
the, then unknown and poor Greek
teacher, Cheke.
Cheke's mother kept wineshop to
support the family, and II was there
that Cecil met and fell in love with the
daughter, Mary. To prevent the match
he was taken from college; but the ro-
nance triuInphed for he married her
secretly later on.
Unfortunately. she died IN two years
leaving him an heir. He married again
his wife, Mildred. and Lady Jane Grey
being spoken Of as the two most bril-
liant women in England. But his early
love made a deep impression on him
and his friendship with Cheke never
ceased. In fact, they were knighted
at the same time.
He seemed to have taken part In ac-
tive fighting in Scotland, but his glory
rests on his political wisdom. He at
tracted the favor Of Henry VIII. ad-
vised his successor Queen Mary and
was Queen Elizabeth's chief counsellor
The history of his life during her reign
is really the history OF the country.
He was made Knight of the Garter
and Lord Treasurer, and lived to be
IS years old There are many stories
of the lavish entertainments he plan
ned when the queen was his guest. He
had to maintain an entire secret SER
vice of his own to guard against plots
and attempts on his life.
