slow has done on several other occa-
sions and will be indignant when they
learn that the Prescott association
has been suspended from the North
ern Arizona Athletic Association on
the word of only the Winslow asso-

PRESCOTT has been suspended Oh

they were suspended without wore
reaching them of any charge agains
them and did not know of their sus-
pension until the game with Mesa tc
be played Thursday on local grounds
was called off because Prescott is nc
longer a member of the association.
Prescott Immediately filled the date
with the local SAINT Fe shop mer
which was played on the Gurley street
gridiron this morning.
A fight is being made, however
against this expulsion which includes
boys and girls teams in all forms Of
athletics. The breach of contract re-
ferred to is in relation to the game
with Winslow at Winslow which was
to be played on Nov. to decide the
half finished game here in which
there was no score that was calico
off on account of rain and snow
storm on October 30. Coaches Ma
pier and Thomas of the Badgers tolt
Coach Clark of the Winslow team
that the Nov. 6 game would have tc
be cancelled on account of the PhOe
nix game, but that Prescott was will
ing to play any time that week. The
WinslOw team, returning home, mad
arrangements for the Nov game
selling over 200 tickets before Pres
colt was aware of the fact. That wa
not until Nov. 4. which gave only two
days before the game, and the regula
tions call for five days notice for
cancellation, the Winslow team re
fusing to recognize the verbal can

NEAR EAST NEWS NOTES

Despite the terrible conditions in
3acres, six new American workers
# the Near East Relief sailed last
yeek on the "Panonia" for Constan-
inople. A single day brought news
Of the reported killing of Capt. EN-
net Fitzpatrick and two nurses, all
hree of the American Red Cross. and
1lso of the capture of Col. ]. P.
Coombs, director Of the Near East
work in Anatolia.
Col Coomb's first lieutenant, dis
mayed by the news of his chiefs cap
ture by the Turkish insurgent leader,
sent an alarmist cablegram to New
York advising that no more American
ives be risked by the sending of more
'elief workers.
On the spur of this minute it was
annOuced that the sailing of the six
relief workers would be cancelled,
but it was finally decided that in the
present crisis, which virtually threat
ms the Armenian nation with ex-
tinction, it would not do to abate
humanitarian efforts.
So, much to the joy of the six
workers, they were permitted to sail.
Four are women. One of the men was
Dr. Russell Uhls, a Kansas specialist
n eye disease who will help to fight
he epidemic of trachoma which is
iliug the hospitals of the Near East
Relief and causing many cases of
blindness.
"The need at this time in Armenia
really desperate one", said Mr.. G.
2. Willis, state director of the Near
East Relief in Arizona, "in the face
of the terrible massacres which oc-
cured only few days ago, and the
cold winter which is already upon
them.
"They look to Americ for aid, as
America is the only country that is
able to do much, and it is felt that
America will not allow them to
perish"

LIVESTOCK RANGES In ARIZONA

Practically no snow or rain has

weeks and stock ranges have become
very dry according to telegraphic re-
ports to the Weather Bureau office.
Pastures have not suffered inasmuch
as their nutriment has in no wise
diminished and there has been prac-
tically no rain to whip off the blades
of grass. High elevations have lost
much of the snow deposited during
October but there has been little run
off, evaporation being the chief cause
of it's disappearance. Conditions in
the Apache Indian reservation are re-
ported as being favorable; stock are
generally in good shape and there is
plenty of good feed available for win
