Reese. George P. Wentworth and DR..
Blocker. This committee has already
received voluntary subscriptions
amounting to about $4,000 In all. DIR.
Blocker'S committee has about sS 600
in sight, so that it is necessary to raise
about $4,000 today.
D. p. Hobgood, manager of the Pas
time Theater. has offered the entire
proceeds of one performance at his
theater to the cause, the Kiwanis Clnh
to have charge of arrangements. His

DR.. Blocker's idea with reference to
raising the minimum sum of s25.080
is that there have been so many drives
and campaigns during the past few
years that it is not desirable to urge
anyone to give. but that the PROPOSE.

treme urgency of the situation shown,
and the worthiness of the cause ex-
planned, and then leave it entirely up

factor in opposition to acceptance of

by many miners that it would require
another session of the general conven-

lie today by Attorney General Palmer
provides for resumption of work by
miners a IA per cent wage increase,
pending final settlement of the con-
troyersy by commission appointed
by the president which would include
one practical miner and one active

mission would adjust wages without
too great burden on the public. Court
proceedings are postponed pending
action by miners.

 Federated Services
 Services at the Federated church last Sabbath were we'll attended.
 What finer sight than for nine young ladies to be baptized and ad- mitted to membership in the church! The subject for the sermon on next Sabbath morning will be "The Birth place of Mortals."
 The evening service presents an in tainments and rewards, for unless we have an ideal or goal, we make no consistent effort. The topic, "The Reward of a Kingdom" promises to be of interest. ~... Card Party
 The ladies of the Catholic church are more than pleased with the sue cess of their last card party at Mar lars Hall on Tuesday night. Over a hundred guests took advantage of the invitation to attend, and while some interested ones played cards the younger set reserved their pleasure until after the tables were cleared away and then danced to their hearts content. Five hundred was played. Favors for high scores were presented to Miss Boyer, Mrs. K. M. Brown and Mrs. Nee, while the gentlemen were also rewarded for best efforts. MT. Jakle, Mir. Moran, and Mir. Gilliland receiving them. Eighteen tables were at play and the good time and re- treatments made pleasant evening. Social Service Workers
 Working for the good of the com. munity makes for better one. The local chapter, established in connec- tion with the Crittenden Home, met with Mrs. Pollock on Monday after noon. Discussions along the lines of social service made for a better un- derstanding of the work to be under taken in Flagstaff.
 While the ladies are not quite ready to divulge their plans, we are at liberty to say that forty members are planning good, practical work right here at home,
 Their only request is that more ladies join in helping the community to better things.

WHY SMITH LEFT HOME,
 OR THE ABILITY RE- f
 CURED BY A SENATOR

Senator Marcus Smith, of Tucson was entertaining some friends in the Willard grill with stories about the Arizona desert when bore joined the party.
 This bore was the kind of a chap that always laughs in the wrong place and spells a story by trying to guess its climax. The Senator undertook to silence him. :,
 "Poor Fergusonw he said. "That was close shave he had in the desert last August"
 "Sunstroke, of course" said the bore.
 "No, not exactly" said the Senator. "You see, Ferguson stumbled accident ally on the Cauldron-our famous spring, you know, that gushes out of the rock at freezing point and immed- lately begins to boil from the fierce heat of the sum-"
 "Of course, of course" said the bore. And what happened to Fer guson? Did he fall in the Cauldron and boil to death? Get on with your story, man."
 Ferguson fell in," said the Sena- tor, "but he managed to scramble out again. The peril, however, was not yet over for him. Our Arizona air, you see. is so dry that it absorbs mois- ture with astonishing rapidity. We'll, the boiling water in Ferguson's clothes evaporated so fast that the poor fellow instantly froze stiff" .
 "I see," said the bore. He died of cold. We'll, that reminds me'
 "No, he didn't die," sail Senator Smith. "He almost died, but he had miraculous escape. In his stiff frozen state, you understand, he began to shiver with chill, and he shivered so hard that in a few moments he be- came ovcrheated and would have sue cumbed to sunstroke if he hadn't pro- vident;ally broken into a cold sweat"

VERDE STRIP ADDED
 TO, COCONIN0 FOREST

President Wilson has signed the proclamation which adds the so-called "Verde Strip" to the Coconino and Prescott National Forests in Arizona, according to word received by the local district office of the Forest Serv- acres, and extends along the Verde river from below Rutherford to above Cottonwood.
 Tn addition was made chiefly be- cause the Reclamation Service desired to have this area brought under fed eral regulation and control in order to protect the Verde watershed from all overgrazing and erosion. The stock men and settlers within the area, were favorable to its addition to the nation al forest territory adjoining.

Bad Case Of "Nerues"

Heads At Versailles
CBy Associated Press)

BERLIN, June 6-Fearful nervous
ness and depression which manifest
themselves in toothache, rheumatism,
various other ailments and in sleep
lessness are afflicting the German
delegates at Versailles. according to
the correspondent of the Berlin Ga
zette, and which he whimsically terms
tropical madness" That is an all
ment known to French foreign legion
aries as ''caford."
The first to be affected was a surg
con who fell i'll with a raging tooth
ache and intense nervousness. Then
a councillor attached to the delegation
caught the strange malady and insist
ed on having a gramophone played
during conferences he attended. He
wanted American records principally.
Many members of the delegation be-
gan to suffer pains in the back and
joints, others from collie and the ma
jority from headaches and sleepless-
ness.
"The food" the correspondent says,
sis getting on every ones nerves.

Winnipeg Police Force
tBy Associated Press)

WINNIPEG. June 6.-Strengthening
of Winnipeg's police force by one
thousand veterans as special con-
stables caused an increase during the
night in minor disturbances and per-
sonal encounters, but no unusual dem
onstrations occurred. Cancellation ef-
forts were practically at a standstill
as the general strike today entered
its fourth week. &c.,
Members of the veterans associa-
tions here who are opposed to the gen
eral strike have been gathering
strength in their counter demonstra-
tions and hundreds of them volun-
teered to give Mayor Charles F. Gray
assistance in maintaining order. Cool
er heads among the leaders prevented
discussion at yesterdays meeting of a
parade to the trades and labor temple.
Strikers and strike sympathizers in
cluding many returned soldiers con-
tinue their parades also, but their dem
onstrations have SO far been orderly.
