COUNCIL URGED TO OWONEN INDICNANT:
 CODIFY CITY LAWSCARD PARTIES ARE. FOR FULL BENEFIT HELD IN DEFIANCE.

The urgent need for qualification of the laws of the city of Bisbee so that there shall be fewer ordinances to confuse the city officials and the people, and less conflict, was brought to the attention of the council at it's meeting Tuesday night by City Attor- ney Sam Kyle. While the original cost of qualification may be high, ulti. mately it will be a paying proposi- tion, MT. Kyle said.
 q was in Douglas a few days ago talking over the situation with James P. Boyle, the city attorney" said MT. Kyle to the council. Douglas, he in forms me, is in the same condition as Bisbee; there have been ordinances made and repealed and amended until the result is highly confusing, not only to the citizens but to the members of the city council, the city attorney, the courts and peace officers who have to act under the provisions of the city laws.
 MT Boyle and I decided that the best procedure for the two cities to follow would be to call in expert as sistance in the form or one of the law book publishing houses. 1t would be necessary only to inform such an ex- pert what we wanted in the way of laws and what was dead wood With the aid of the immense law library at the command of such an individual. the codifying of the ordinances of the two cities would be a task of no such great proportions as would con- front the city attorney or either Doug las or Bisbee, were he or the two jointly to attempt to proceed.
 "A larger library than is obtainable sary if holeproof set of ordinances. covering the ground in all particulars, is to be drawn.
 After the new, simplified ordi. nances had been whipped into shape, they would be presented to the coun- cil here and passed as the laws of Bisbee. They then could be published and the citizens as a whole have an opportunity to study them, informing themselves as to the laws governing them.
 As matters stand, the ordinance books of the city are cluttered with a lot of out-of-date laws, confusing to the legal as well as the lay mind. Fewer laws, incorporating more mod ern ideas on many respects. would be preferable"
 Mir. Kyle said that the qualification, while it was needed greatly, did not have to be done within the next few weeks or months. However, he wished to call the attention of the council to the matter so that from time to time it could be brought up in meetings and discussed until a unanimous conclusion could be reached one way or another.

JuUenHe. Library to Reach Alt PartS
 Or Warren District

Instead of waning in popularity with age. the juvenile section of the Cop per Queen library. opened last week at the Central school building. is hold ing the interest of the children and each day there are several hundred withdrawals
 The board Of education Of the War ren district. now being convinced that the installation of a juvenile library is d decidedly successful inovation, has decided further to extend its field of operations. To this end a number of boxes of books, each containing about 50 vOlumes. carefully chosen from the shelves and well assorted so as to suit all tastes. will be made up and sent to- the smaller outlying schools
 Each book will re&ain in the pos session of the school 10 which it is sent for a period of one month fs then will be sent to another school ard new one brought in to replace the original one. In this way. in the belief cf Prof C. F. Philbrook. super intendent of schools. the interest of the juvenile population in reading and particularly iH good reading. can be cultivated in this way and each volume in the library be made to serve a far more useful purpose than if it were allowed to remain in the shelves Of the Central school library.

New War Stamps

New war savings stamps and thrift stamps of the series of 1919 are nov on sale at the postoffice Soon new thrift societies will be launched and new movements started for the stim- ulation of sales of these securities.
 But why should thrift clubs and other stimulants be needed to inter- est the average citizen in saving?
 Before the United States entered the war, this was nation of spend thrifts. Comparatively few Ameri- cans knew the meaning of the word thrift But an occasional man or woman saved through sacrifice, and the average man and woman lived to the limit of income. if not beyond this point.
 Since eighteen months ago when this country entered the war, the thrift habit has been given a mighty impulse. More than thirty millions of men and women of the nation have become owners of government securi- ties. and the number was increasing daily when peace suddenly appeared.
 Why go back to the old habits? We have discovered that it is not hard work to put aside a little each month for Liberty bonds or war savings stamps; that the sacrifice is small and that the gain is large. We have discovered that the little put aside to- day will grow rapidly-so rapidly that we have been surprised at the results. We have missed none of the small material properties we have sacri- nced 10 make this thrift effort.
 Let us continue this effort, without the necessity of being called into a thrift club or some smimilar organiza-

QUARANTINE GOES ON DANCES HERE

Goodbye to the twirly-whirl of the modern dance. At the meeting of the city council Tuesday night it was de- cided that a partial quarantine, as a precautionary measure to prevent spread of influenza, extending only over the dances within the city limits of Bisbee, should be put in effect iIn- mediately. From this time until there has been a decided improvement :n the local situation. the devotees of the dance will have to go elsewhere than Bisbee for their favorite pastime.
 The council took this action at the request of Dr. D. Brown, city health officer. In a brief address Dr. Brown said he considered dancing a fruitful source of contagion because of the necessary proximity of dancers to one another and the large crowds which assemble in hot halls. In this he was upheld by Dr. N. c. Bledsoe, a member of the council. who agreed that the closing of dances was a wise precau- tion.
 There has been diminution in the amount Of influenza in Bisbee since the quarantine was lifted" said Dr Bledsoe in discussing the councils ac- tion, yet there are many cases here and unless We exercise every caution there is a possibility of a recurrence of the epidemic which caused the city to be placed under close quarantine If the people will avoid crowds, get plenty of fresh air. eat and sleep sui ficiently and take ordinary precau- tions in preserving their health, l be- lieve this can be avoided In regard to the report that d more strict quar- antine is to be placed on Bisbee, am convinced there is nothing in it. No resumption of the quarantine is prob able unless there is an increase in the number of cases There will be, Of course, sporadic cases through the winter until spring"
 Dr. Bledsoe said there had been quite a number of pneumonia cases but said this was to be expected in view of the weakened condition in which the influenza patients had been left by the disease.
 It has been intimated here that there was possibility of the county board of health also placing the ban on dancing. but this could not be con firmed yesterday

Had any one been trying to get a rise" out of the women of the Warren district by proposing a law which would stop their card clubs from play ing for prizes, he would have succeed ed admirably as was proven yesterday when the comment of the feminine section of the community upon the new city anti-gambling ordinance. was caustic to say the least.
 Several card parties, planned for the immediate future. are said to have died a sudden and not altogether painless death. The women who had planned giving them and those who had planned to attend. were equally fOrcible in their remarks
 In one or two instances an attitude of defiance was said to have been adopted. At least one woman was quoted as saying she intended to give a card party with prizes for the best players. However, it was pointed out to her that each of her guests by par ticipating in the game would be equally as guilty as she.
 Among the men on the street the comment was almost as forcible. for their games of pan" had been stopped along with the rest of it.
 Attention was called by attorneys to the fact that the city simply had adopted as an ordinance. the text of the anti-gambling law voted upon by the people at the November election and carried by an overwhelming ma jority.
 Had the city not taken this action. the city officers would have been obliged 10 arrest any one found gamb- ling ana the municipality would no: have benefited from the fines were conviction obtained. By making the law a city ordinance, also. enforce ment is insured and the city should obtain considerable revenue from such fines.
 The state law became effective De cember } when a proclamation was issued by Governor Hunt announcing that it had carried and was a law.
 The chief difference between the present law and the old one is that where formerly the only man who could he punished was the dealer or under the new law every player is subject to the same fine. while any one permitting gaming on his premises IS held to be as guilty as the dealer, proprietor or players. The minimum fine is S100 and the maximum $500 and a jail sentence ct as much as six months may be as- sessed also.

Boost Good Roads

Cochise county is lining up rapidly behind proposed good roads legisla ton. One week ago a movement was started for a highway convention at Pohenix late this month. when good roads matters will be taken up. and when plans for definite and compre- hensive improvements of the state roads will be discussed. This county was invited to attend the meeting.
 Memebrs of the board of superyis- ors of Cochise county have heard the call for the conference. At their meet ing last Monday they decalred their entire body should attend the meet ing, that they must assist in outlin- ing plans and discussing the future of the states highways. The action of the board is of first importance, since it means that it's members will be sol idly behind any movement which may be started for the betterment of roads.
 Members of the board of directors of the Commercial club of this district at their recent meeting discussed in detail the same good roads meeting They decided to have full representa- ton at the Phoenix conference. In addition, they passed resolutions urg- ing Douglas to join with the remain der of the county in the highway movement.
 Interest in better and more state and county highways has increased largely since President Wilson urged recently that extensive programs be outlined and put into operation to provide more work in the country dur ing the periad of reconstruction. We'll known men in every part of the state have begun discussion of possible high way plans, and each man agrees that the present is the most opportune time for beginning Arizona's system of main line arteries.
 The great task before the repre- sentatiyes of various counties in the Phoenix conference, will be to provide and recommend means of raising funds for the proposed work. Once this is done and the details of the plan and placed before the people, the success of the movement will be as- sured The residents of Arizona, pro gresisve. wide-awake, aggressive. are prepared now to take advantage of this greatest of opportunities, and they will approve any feasible. we'll balanced, workable plan.
 Harmony. efficiency, practicability are essential to the Phoenix meeting. Let us have these elements, and the roads will be easily obtained.

tion. If every man and woman of the country will lay aside a small mite for savings stamps each month, if each will practice the lesson learn ed in the past year and one-half. this will be transformed from a nation of spendthrifts to a nation of thrifty spenders.
 And it is infinitely better to want for a little today and have in the future, than to have today and want for much in old age.

Do Not Neglect It.

When you use medicated sprays, atomizers and touches for your Ca- tarrh, you may succeed in unstopping the choked-up air passages for the time being, but this annoying condi- tion returns, and you have to do the same thing over and over again.
 Catarrh has never yet been cured by these local applications. Have you ever experienced any real benefit rom such treatment?

Shows the Curious Manner In Which
the Hun Mind Worked In tho
Closing Days Of the
World War.
THE BOYS BURNED THEM
keokuk Soldier Returns from the
Front with Copy of the Inter-
estins Appeal of the De-
feated Boche.

How curiously the Hun mind works
and how little he is able to understand
the action of the American mind /:
shown by a copy Of a circular the Hur
! aviators dropped into the American
lines, which is brought home by 9
Keokuk soldier who arrived yesterday
after being discharged.
1t was in the Alsace sector that one
day the airplanes with the black NAL
j tese cross flew over the division o.
/ the Keokuk soldier and dropped s
large number OF printed circulars
which the wind distributed over 8
large area Of the American front
The circulars were read by the
lKeokuk, Iowa and other American sol
diers with some interest. What die
you do with them?" the one who Just
arrived at home was asked last even
ing.
/ I'VE burnt 'em up" he replied
| The Hun Thought This Argument
! But he copied one of them for his
! torical purposes, and here is what the
circulars said to the Americans IL
/ September last just before the end:
| Inc BeLLor Part OF NblOI.
Are you a brave man or cow
ard? 1t takes brave man to
stand up for Ids principles. Cow
ards stand behind leaders and die,
imagining that by so doing they
! become heroes.
The motive of an act Is its
measure. If you think the war is
hell, and that you as citizen Of
the United States of America

/ France, for England, you are a
coward to stay with 1t.
! If you had the courage to face
criticism, you would get out and
| over the top in no time to a place
/ where there is some likelihood
that you may see home again.
What business is this war in
Europe to you anyhow You
! don't want to annex anything, do
you? You don't want to give UP
| your life for the abstract thing,
| humanity! If you believe in hui
| mainly and that life Is precious,

to the service of your own country
| and the women who deserve 1t of
you
| Lots Of you fellows are staying
