CITY COUNCIL MEETS
City Dads Refuse 20 Allow Electric
Light Co. to Close Down During
Daylight Hours.
ARMISTICE DAY
DECLARED A HOLIDAY
Ed Gardner Appointed City Marshal
Succeeding ]. E. Donnell

Several matters of interest and
great Importance were taken up and
disposed of at the meeting of the
City Council Tuesday night The
nrst thing coming up was the appoint
ing OF new marshal, as the present
marshal, ]. e. Donnell rendered his
resignation, which was accepted, and
Constable Ed. Gardner was appointed
to fill the vacancy.
The bids were opened for 1900 feet
OF new sewer construction, but all
bids were considered too high and
were rejected. 1t was decided to have
P. Henderson, the street supervisor,
hire some men and use the tractor
and the city put in the sewer. 1t was
thought the city would save about
$500 on this one contract.
Mr.. Peck, manager Of the Electric
Light Company, was before the Coun-
Gil and said that on account of the
present coal strike the Light Com
pany was running short of fuels and
unless the strike was over within fif-
teen days the city would be in dark
ness, and ask to be allowed to close
down the plant during the day time
to conserve the coal which he has on
hand. His request was rejected, the
Council holding, and rightly too, that
this was a strictly union town, and
they would not be party to the con-
servation Of coal and thus help break
the strike or at least to prolong it,
and Mr.. Peck was told to burn all the
fuel which he needed and when he
was out of coal we would all be in
the dark together.
The Mayor next signed PROCLAIM
tion which is published elsewhere in
this issue declaring Armistice Day.
November II, legal holiday in the
city of Winslow, and requested that
the schools and all places of business
be closed, in order to allow the ex-
soldier boys an opportunity to proper
ly celebrate the day.
Several bills against the city were
audited and ordered paid, after which
the meeting was adjourned.

versary of the most notable event in
the worlds history, the signing of the
armistice which brought to an end
the greatest armed conflict within the

what not and the preservation of
American institutions not only for
the safety, happiness and prosperity
Of present but future generations.

OIL FIELD NOTES

The fact that the Allen Oil Com
l.any did not secure the acreage from
the Aztec Petroleum Securities Com
pany Or the Winslow Oil Company, the
two largest lease holders on the en-
tire structure, mas not worried any
of our magnates here or in Holbrook
1t is stated that tie parties holding
leases were not over-enthused with
the proposition as submitted, parti-
cularly in view of the fact that so
many other good companies and
interests are after good leas holds
for drilling: can and will drill within
reasonable time. Nevertheless, the
Allen Oil Company, or any other
good company, will at all times be a
welcome guest, as an operator as the
most needed on this field at this time
is drilling, and real action on the field
and less sparing and paper talk.

The Holbrook Oil Company after
orllllng 81 days, was down 852 feet
Tuesday evening, and have already en-
countered some very good indications.
1t is pleasing to note that this well
was sunk greater depth in less than
two months than some wells in nearly
ten months. However, that is only
proof that the amateur days have
passed into history on the Holbrook-
Winslow Oil Field. Good rigging and
strong efficient management will
tell, and much credit is due to Dad
Hastings, and General Manager Mar

BONELESs BEEF FOR A.E.F

The Subsistence Division has re-
ceived request from the chief quar-
termaster Of the A. e. r. for the
shipment to France Of 100000
pounds of boneless beef to be packed
In three different ways. Packages
for steaks are to contain only tender
loins, sirloins, butts, loin steaks, top
rounds and shoulder steaks; packages
for r0asts are to contain prime ribs,
rumps, bottom rounds and bottom
chucks; and the packages for stews
are to include tanks, plates, necks,
shanks and trimmings. The object
OF the experiment Is convenience in
butchering and handling in France
and also that all classes OF meat used
for the same purpose win be packed
together. The cessation OF hostilities
has not caused discontinuance Of the
shipment OF boneless best to France.
The saving In freight overseas on
shipments OF boneless beat over car
cass beef would aggregate $73.00O
each day were IT possible to secure
sufficient boneiess beef to feed the en-
tire expeditionary forces. A ships Q
ton Of refrigeration space, forty cubic
feet, costs 500. This makes the
freight on each pound Of carcass beef
twelve and One-half cents. inst half
the space IL required for bonelesE
beef, which reduces the freight to SIX
and One-quarter cents per pound.
The average consumption OF frozen
meat Ia France is thirteen ounces Per
man per day. Fresh pork % being
served to the troops once each week.
Pork requires moro strict attention
In shippiag and handling than the
beef as 1t deterioratAs more rapidly.
It's consumption wiH probably be re-
duced on the approach Of warm

charged from the army the all-im-
portant question to 2S Of them is,
Where can get job?"
The u. S. Employment Service, de-
spite its material reduction necessi-
tated by Congress- failure to provide
funds necessary for its maintenance,
is solving the question by placing 25
out of the 2S. or the SIS. .O00 men dis

the cooperation OF welfare, church
organizations and other voluntary
bodies interested in the employment
problem incident to. rehabilitation
and the soldier, 376 offices are now
being maintained by these outside
agencies.
Since the armistice was signed the
great question of replacing into peace
employment the million soldiers.
sailors and war workers arose. 1t
was already recognized that it would
be disastrous for the Government and
each welfare organization to work
separately and without any coordina-
ton. and was also realized that the
most practical thing would be the
centraiization of all such efforts
through an employment agency in
@A~ nSk~ III
by one clearance system which would
readily enable exchange OF informa-
tion as to employment operations and
conditions Of labor shortages and sur
pluses. The agency best qualified to
perfR N this function was the EN-
ployment Service through its original
759 Offices-nOw reduced to 376-and
its 1000 labor Community Boards.
Accordingly the Employment Service
was chosen by the Government and
the welfare and other cooperating or
ganisa.ions as a central agency for
the placement of returning soldiers
and sailors.
With these Offices and EMERGENCY
BMHeau soldiers and sailors in need
OF employment are being auEomat-
ieally reached by the U. s. Employ
ment Service through its representa-
tive in the demobilization camps in
this country and In debArkation
camps in France and returning trans
ports. A record is made of each SOL
der prior to his discharge and IL in
need OF job when released from the
army or navy . duplication Of his rec
! ord is forwarded to the Employment
Service Offices or Bureaus for Return
ing Soldiers and Sailors in the mans
home town where search IL imme-
diately begun to secure employment
which the applicant is capable Of fill
ing. The hardest task facing the
Employment Service now. however, is
not to reach the soldier but to reach
the employer who has one or more
opportunities open for soldiers. A
national campaign to induce employ
