HIGH
 WILL STAGE PLAY
Theatrical Event Will Take Place a,
 Auditorium Friday Evening, .Febru ary 14th.

As announced elsewhere in the col umns of this paper on Friday even ing, February 14th. pupils of the Clifton High School will present the first play of the year at the new audi torium. The play selected is of the farce comedy type and while it has been and still is played on the profes sional stage, is we'll adapted to ama- teurs.
 An impecunious nephew left in charge of wealthy uncle's mansion, turns it into a rooming house. He soon fills the spare rooms with "a varied assortment of roomers. From that moment complications follow one another with amazing bewilder- ment. There are paralled issues, cdunter issues, and subissues; jeal- ous wife. a jealous husband and two pairs of lovers; numerous entagle- ments, misunderstanding of motives and cases of mistaken identity. Not until five seconds before the final curtain are all domestic difficulties removed and the course of true love permitted to run smoothly.
 With such vehicle of dramatic expression, enthusiastic young play. CTS. an experienced director and adequate staging the Clifton public may expect a real treat
 Not the least of the attractions will be the Adams orchestra, which will furnish excellent music before and between the acts.
 The performance will begin prompt ly at S:15. Patrons should plan to be in their seats at that time.

 "Sharkey," the cook and Quan Gfm the waiter. were seated in the kitch- en of the cafe at 3:30 in the morn ing. At this hour the dining room was unoccupied. While seated in the kitchen the two Chinamen heard a man enter the outer door of the dining room and encountered a masked man carrying a heavy lead pipe in his hand. He gave the alarm and "Sharkey'' hurried into the din ing room armed with a cleaver. He asked the robber what he wanted and the reply was money"
 At this instant confederate, who had attempted to gain entrance through the rear door of the kitchen, but found the door locked, arrived on the scene through the front door of the dining room holding a gun in his hand.
 According to the statement of the waiter the man last entering the din- ing room fired the shot which killed "Sharkey." The shot was fired at close range striking the Chinese cook in the temple and death was in staneous. The Chinamen killed was we'll known in the district, having been a resident of Clifton, and en- gagged in the restaurant business for the past twenty-five years.

Total collected to date $46,4S4.O1
 The above figures it should he noted, do not include either the pledges or collections from the Vic tory Girls or Victory Boys campaign
 The expenses of the campaign were $155.10. Items compiling this were in order. Most of the differ ences between the total pledges and the amount collected is due to sub- scribers leaving the district prior to completing their payments.
 There are, however, some collee- lions still to be made, but the county chairman has note of these.
 I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, with these ex- ceptions. all pledges have been col 1ected. All moneys collected have been properly accounted for.

CLIFTON BOYS BAND
 ID BE ORGANIZED
Public Spirited Citizens Will Get Be hind the Movement With Financial Assistance.

It is the idea of a great many of Clifton's musical population that a good band can be organized with talent recruited from the boys in the high school and grammar schools. and other boys who are musically in- clined.,
 A good band is valuable asset to any town or city. It can be used to play in public places and upon civic occasions thereby adding another great attraction to the town. M
 Several of Clifton's citizens have expressed willingness to help or ganize and form such band and they hope that the city and companies will authorize donations to aid in the maintenance of such an organization.
 Morenci has two boys bands. A Mexican boys band, under the direc- tion of Director Urbania, has become one of the finest musical organiZa- tions in the state. The Morenci High School has fine boys band Now, citizens let's get in the harness and boost for the new Clifton Boys Band and when the boys arrive from over seas duty we won't go marching down the street at the head of the procession with some foreign band playing the Star Spangled Banner.
