NORMAL NOTES
MAY CALHOUN

Among the students of the Normal school attending the chicken pull last Thursday were the Misses Clarabell Douglas, Bernice Baxter, Dorothy Willson, Francis Long, Thelma Fay Gertrude Glissan, and Marguerite Wy rick, and Messrs. Joe Hanley, Jim Turpen, Harvey Pitts, and Isadore Rubin.
 Misses Florence Sharpe and Thelma Harvison have been in Tempe, repre- senting the Normal school at the Y, w. c. A. conference held there this past week.
 Merville Mills, one of the Normal school boys, has returned home to Flagstaff after several months serv- ice overseas.
 Last Tuesday, April 29, simultane- ous debates were held in Flagstaff and Tucson at S:15 in the evening, The question was: RESOLVED, That the experiment of government control and operation of the railroads of the United States should be continued for a period of five years from the sign ing of the treaty of peace" A large crowd attended the debate in Flag staff, where Miss Mary Beckwith and Paul Richards defended the Normal school through their affirmative argu- ments. Miss Jean Slavens and How ard T. Mitchell represented the fresh ment and sophomore classes of the University. Miss Boyer had charge of the entertainment of the visitors and although the weather at first proved rather inclement the visitors were taken to the Observatory and to the logging camp. The judges of the de- bate were Assistant County Attorney George Harben; o. H. Richardson, su- perintendent of the Emerson school ; and Judge J. E. Jones of the superior court. The decision was unanimous in favor of the affirmative. Our visitors left on the night train for Tucson. We certainly hope they will return next year.
 The team representing the Normal school at Tucson was composed of Miss Clarabelle Douglas and Miss May Calhoun, while the team at the Tue son was comprised of Franklin Walk CT, a graduate of the Normal, and Miss Mary Pickett. There was very large crowd in attendance due to the advertising which was successfully and cleverly carried out by the busi- ness manager, MT. Froehlke. The yis- iting team was shown every possible courtesy. They were taken to see the famous old mission the day before the debate, and after the debate was over they were the guests of The Forum, the university debating club, at a very sumptuous banquet given at a down. town club. Plates were laid for twen- ty. Franklin Walker was toastmaster. Those making addresses were Prof. Walker, Dr. Won KleinSmid, Dean

 Former President Taft. : Chief Justice White of the United States Supreme Court.
 Charles E. Hughes.
 Elihu Root.
 Attorney General Palmer.
 Former Attorney General Gregory.
 Secretary of State Lansing.
 Chief Justice White was mentioned most frequently as the logical and most commendable selection that could be made.

PEOPLE, NOT
 ARMY, NOW
 HOLD STAGE
By United States Senator George E. Chamberlain, Chairman Military
 Affairs Committee of Senate.

We are rounding out one of tho greatest. If not the greatest single drama in the worlds history. The most tragic scene is over and another is being acted, and in this scene 1t fs the mass of the American people that hold the center of the stage rather than the American armies. The lat ter have practically completed thefl work and they played their part with superb excellence. It Is our part nov to finish their work.
 We have got to finish financing the war and to finance the peace We have got to pay for those things we bought or contracted for, to take the best possible care of our soldier boys and to make them the superb fighting force that they were. We have got to care for the wounded and their dependents and the dependents of those who died in their country's service. We have got to rehabilitats our wounded and train them for use full occupations which they can pur sue in spite of loss of limbs or sight or other such injuries.
 Must Finish Task.
 We have got to stand by the peo ples of those nations who were asso ciated with us in the war against Germany and who have been undel the cruel hand of German domination We have got to finish in all way the great and the very glorious tasl that America set out to accomplish ir April, 1917, and which % far has beer accomplished with 8 success that every true American rejolces at and ii proud of.
 This is a task that no good Ameri can-man, woman or child-will sbirl or will wish to shirk. And every one of them, man. woman and child can help. Through the Liberty Loan and War Savings Stamps the United States offers each and all an opportu nifty to contribute to its great worl of establishing world justice, world liberty and world enduring peace Some of us may not be able to buy oI the Liberty Loan but practically every one of us can buy War Savings Stamps and the purchase of every War Savings Stamp aids in the great work. It is great honor to have part in this great world drama tha is being played and every purchaser of 6 United States Government wal security has part in it. Never wal so great an honor so cheaply to bt bought, never so great a service SC easily rendered"

CHINESE DIDN'T KNOW THAT
 ARIZONA WAS DRY; JAILED

PHOENIX, ARIZONA-The first shipment of beer seized in aricopa county since prohibition went into ef- feet, was taken by Constable Wood, of Tempe today, when he arrested Ong Wing and An Foo as they stepped off the train at Tempe and claimed as their luggage two trunks which had come from San Francisco.
 Besides the beer, twelve jugs of Chinese wine and six pint bottles of whiskey were confiscated.
 The Chinese subsequently, were re- leased on bail. They said they had brought in the liquor for their own use and were ignorant of the prohi- bition laws of the state.
