ELK INCREASE ON
 SITGREAVE RANGE

The range or the S1tgreaVeS
 elk herd on the western end
 of the Sitgreaves National For
 est in Northern Arizona has just ben investigated by Dis trict Forester Paul c. Reding- ton, State Game Warden, Joe
 V. Prochaska, representatives
 of the Order of Elks, and oth- CT members of the Forest Ser vice. It was ascertained that this herd, which numbered 84 head when introduced in 1914 by the U. s. Biological Survey, the Arizona Game Depart ment, and the Forest Service, is in flourishing condition and is now estimated to contain about 300 head. The Elk range on the high, heavily timbered plateau bounded on the south by the preclpitous Mogolon Rim, on the east by Chevalon Canyon, on. the west by Clear Creek and on the north by the open plains ex- tending northward from the Sitgreaves Forest. This area in the opinion of investigat- ing officials, is admirably a. dapted to elk and other game, being one of the most isolated and unsettled portions of the State. The elk seek the lower pol tions of the plateau during the winter and as the snow goes off, move southward to the high elevations on the edge of the rim, where they find summer feed and cool shade: It was found that the elk are accused of committing depre- dations on haystacks and grow ing crops belonging to the half dozenranchers in the region. StateGame Warden Prochaska announced that he is inveatigat- ing the possibilities of con- structing elk proof fences round the cultivated fields.
 It was reported that some of the elk have migrated to the lower country below the Mog- ollon Rim on the north end of the Tonto Forest. Consideration is being given to the creation of a small game refuge for elk and other species in the region and the advice of the U. s. Biological Survey is being sought as to the future hand ling of this herd of elk.
 How to preserve the great national elk herds, especially those of Yellowstone park, is being actively taken up by var ious government agencies. in- cluding the Forest Service and the Biological Survey, in cc- operation with the Order of Elks. At the Annual conven- ton of Elks in Atlantic City in July the whole subject will be taken up. Several years ago their annual convention went strongly on record agaist the killingof elk for their teeth.

Hot lunches served in a school for selected group of 25 children is producing note worthy results. The inspira- tion for this movement came from a school nurse in one of our larger Arizona towns After weighing 325 children in this Mexican school, it was found that according to Dr. Holt's standard, 80 per cent were under weight and 90 children were distinctly un- dernourished. It was from these 90 that the 25 were se- lected to receive hot lunches as a demonstration of what can be done for the welfare of the children. Gains in weight in practically every child and im- provement, in interest and ap- plicationto his school work, are ample proof that the movement is worth while. The lunch is furnished free and the menus are chosen by the Home Dem onstration Agent and prepared club of Mexican mothers. It is hoped that because of this dem- onstration, hot lunches will be provided next year for all the children.
 This same nurse has organ ized a New Hygiene League. It was started in school where the appearance of the skin of the children was evidence that baths were unknown. It is most encouraging to find that now many children are having baths in little one room homes with only a small tin pail as a bath tub. She hesitated start ing the League in this school because she knew the absolute lack of bathing facilities. However, the educational value is much greater if the child can be induced to have baths in his own home even if the bath tub is only tin basin. This hy- giene work is especially inter- esting4 and this one. school, which was exceedingly dirty, is now one of the cleanest in town. The children are all Mexicans, but they show a de- cided interest in personal hy- giene. This is a forward step in Americanization as we'll as in public work, and proves that our Mexican neighbors are will ling to adopt some of our health ideas even thugh it must be done under difficulties.

WILLIAMS OBSERVES
 MEMORIAL DAY

The exercises arranged for Decoration Day were carried out in the whole hearted spon- taneous manner which charac- terizes anything undertaken by Williams from the first rat tat tat'' of the drum until the last straggler left the cemetery, the feeling which prevailed echoed those memorable words of General Pershing, Lafayette we are here!', with one diff ference, that we were so much closer in spirit, so much near CT to those of our own cuntry. those of our town who had sacrificed their all for us.
 The parade formed at the schoolhouse, marched down Second Street to Bill Williams avenue, and thence to the Sul- tana Theatre where the exer- cises were held.
 Barnes orchestra furnished the music, and the school Glee Club sang several appropriate songs which were very well rendered.
 Professor T. H. Cureton gave an able address on patriotism and the meaning of the days services.
 The parade reformed and marched to the cemetery. The soldiers of all wars. who were in Williams, headed the pro- cession. The school children followed each class lead by a flag bearer carrying a large flag. Following were members of the different orders: Odd Fellows, Maccabees. Royal Neighbors and Daughters of Rebekah. Fifteen automobiles filled with residents, the ma iority of whom were small school children, added to the length of the procession which extended from the cemetery to the town limits.
 At the cemetery circle was formed around the plot dedi- cated by the Odd Fellows, to < the memory of their brothers who died in the late war.
 After a song by the school children, MT. L. s. Williams gave an unusually good address even for MT. Williams. We re- gret that he has not a copy of it so that it might be printed in full.
 Flowers were placed by the school children around the base of the cross erected to the mem ory of our fallen heroes. On the cross is the inscription:
 "To the souls of our dead
 Who on fields of France are
 sleeping"
 This concluded the exercis- es which were the best eyer given in Williams, viewed from any standpoint.
 Business places in the town were closed before the exercis- es and remained so for the bal ance of the day.
 Rabbits corner window was the most appropriately deco rated of the many in town, Flags were generally and gen. erously displayed throughout the town.

''Cashing in" OH Club Work

Three sisters in Granville
 County, N. C., in 1915, joined a
 local canning club organized
 by the home demonstration
 agent. The first year they
 planted one-ffth acre of tom
 atoes. Besides using all they needed on the table, they filled 1,5OO No. 3 cans for markets and cleared$15O. The next year a larger garden, contain ing tomatoes, corn, string beans, and peas was planted.
 Ii addition to what the family ate, fresh and canned, 2,OO0 cans were sold. The profits paid half the expense of a sis ter in college and helped the girl'sfather remodel and paint their home and buy an inexpensive automobile. In 1917 these three club members canned and sold 2,50O large cans. That years proceeds sent the sister back to college bought new rugs, and helped put acetylene lights in the house andthe barn. The old machine was. sold, and $50 of the girls canning money went toward buying a new and bet ter one. The only canning last year they did was to supply the family table. Their brothers were in the Army, and the sisters volunteered to "carry on" the farm work dur ing their absence.
