Sherwood" is not a version of the comic

with that production except the names of the
characters. "Sherwood" is essentially play of
character which possesses strong dramatic &C

play of wonderful scenic effects. The grandeur
of the garden scenes and loneliness of the fairy

BIG ARMORY SHOULD
 BE COMPLETED RIGHT

Battery "A's" new big armory is about completed so far as the money appropriated by the state is concern ed, but it is far from being completed in the way it should be in order that the big building be use to the best ad- vantage.
 The funds covered the armory build- ing in q scant way and only permitted of the building being constructed, without a floor or much ornamenta- ton. The main idea was to get the building and then add to it from all sources possible. so that when com plete. it will be community building sufficient to accommodate any big gath ering that may come to Flagstaff.
 While the building belongs to the state, it could be made source of revenue as well as great public con venience as armories are in other places. ..
 We are inclined to believe the next legislative should be generous enough to make an appropriation to put in the floors and office rooms.

MAYOR QUAY FOR MAKING .SWITZER CAN. INTO LAKE;
 BETTER CAMP GROUNDS
Continued from page 1.)

make the land adjacent ideal for sum- mer cottages, give Flagstaff the one thing necessary to any city before 1t can figure as full-fiedged summer resort-a body of water. It will mean skating. There are ideal places near for coasting and tobogganing.
 A good-sized body of water in Switzer Canyon will bring us many people each summer who now ire quent Mormon and Stoneman lakes.
 It. takes no great stretch of imag- ination to picture Switzer Canyon lake, it's shores dotted with cottages, with perhaps big hotel to house those coming here for the winter and summer sports the lake would afford. A short extension of Leroux street would bring it to the lake. Mains for city drinking water pass close to it. Electric light wires could be ex- tended there with very small expense. It probably will not be long now be- fore the question of damming Switzer Canyon will be taken up by the coun- ell. Our people should give encour- agement to the members of the coun- cil. We must have new reservoir. If we can get a bigger one, at less cost, and at the same time acquire a lake, near town, we should have the lake, by all means.
 The Public Camping Grounds.
 1 Regarding the public camping grounds at the city park: MT. Quay l feels that they can be made and kept sanitary and safe for automobile tour ists and much more convenient with out cent of expense to the town, which has no money to improve them.
 His plan is to place a man in the park, sworn in as an officer. He will keep things cleaned up, see to the sanitary conditions, have good wood on hand for the use of the campers and stay on duty until midnight each night, so that the tourists may feel safe in leaving their cars and camps and coming down town. Last year there were numerous robberies at the camp grounds and many of the tour ists would not leave their camp at night. l MT. Quay believes that the tourists
 will gladly pay for these conveniences
 and protection. He does not believe
 that the city should make cent oui
 of the proposition and that the serv ice can be given them for not to exceed
 25 cents night. .per car, perhaps fol as little as 10 cents night. He feel! that taking care of the tourists in tha'
 way will add immensely to the pop ularity and patronage of our publi' . camping grounds, and, incidentally, t
 the revenue derived by our bushes 5 houses from the tourists, as it shoul' , not only increase the number of car s parking in the grounds, but will in S duce the tourists to spend money dow
 town at night as well as in daytime.

MRS. HARRIET A. M'ALLISTER

Mrs. Harriett A. McAllister died Christmas morning after long ill., ness, though she was confined to her bed only the last two days of her life.
 Mrs. McAllister came to Flagstaf about eight years ago with her hus- band from Imperial Valley, where they had resided for several years, conducting a hotel at Calexico. They came here at that time for the bene- fit of MT. McAllister's health, but he only lived a few months. His body was taken to Imperial for burial, where Mrs. McAllister's remains were also taken on Sunday.
 Mrs. McAllister conducted a first class boarding house in the Pollock house just north of the Arizona Cen tral bank for some time. She had been away from here for severa! years, returning last spring, and lived in D. L. Thomas house during the time MT. and Mrs. Thomas were east visiting. Since their return she has lived in the Dave Tate house on West Aspen avenue. She had a splendid character, always looking after the welfare of others and suffering hei own troubles alone.
 | She was GA years old, born in New York state.

ARIZONA REPUBLICAN HAS A
 HOUSE WARMING OF NOTE

The Arizona Republican has every reason to be mighty proud of its new home, it's splendid equipment and its editor, Billy Spear. Their invitation for all to attend their "house warm ing" last Monday was accepted by some 5000 people. Editor Spear says: "Just because The Republican has got new clothes, is no sign he and the gang are stuck up, but just that they feel sorter proud of their new home and want other people to enjoy it with them"
 There were pictures of the gang that makes the paper including Busi- ness Manager Stauffer. Of course, he don't look like much, but if you should happen to lift his lid yoy would find bunch of mechanisms in there that would make the inside of a big com pound adding machine look as simple as the machinery attached to a cant hook. Then there is Old Man Young, news editor, whom they cali Caesar" mot because he is bad actor or acts that way, so we presume it is because every time he sees a news item he yells: "Seize it." We'll, here's hoping that The Republican grows right along until it gets as large as The Sun, not mentioning which Sun.

Summary and Remarks.


 Thirteen families (79) people were supplied with bought food. IA indi- viduals were supplied with bought clothing.
 There was received and distributed from the Masonic basement new and used articles of clothing, and toys, and some food to the value of approx imately $250.00.
 It is estimated that there were 50 women and children supplied from the basement stock, who received nothing from the articles purchased; this would make an estimated total of in- dividuals served from one source or the other of 194. In many cases arti- cles were given from the basement stock and then supplemented with a purchased article.
 Every child coming to the basement was presented with some candy and a toy. The candy was donated by the Emerson school and the toys by var ious families and by the manual train ing departments of the local schools.
 Not one cent was spent for toys. What little was spent for candy, nuts ana ITult went to tiie To ldiiliiSs "ho were supplied with plain food.
 The committee desire to express their appreciation of the courtesy of the Masons in turning over to them the basement of their building as a store room and work shop. Also to MT. Haley, of the Arizona Motor Co fer the use of truck and driver do hated for the day, and to the county for the use of one of their cars. The patience of MT. Rees, who turned over his office as a meeting place for the committee, is appreciated. At the final meeting held Decem- Der 20, all bills for purchases were approved by J. D. Jackson, chairman of the purchasing committee, and the lists of contributions were checked and approved by Rev. w. H. Took, chair. man of the collection committee. All bills were then paid by Mrs. D. S. Roome, general chairman.
 Old Flagstaff "did nobly" and next year with 'a little more time to prop erly organize she can be put over big ger than ever, and to reach more of the outlying districts.

MRS. PARTRIDCE'S RIGHT
 TO LAND SUSTAINED

Mrs. Mary F.. Partridge, whose right to the 30 acres of land out near the copper camp, which she bought in the spring of 1918 from James F. Newlin, has been bitterly contested, has won her case and title in de- cision handed down on December 8 by the general land office.
 The decision states that Mrs. Part ridge came here from California af- ter receiving letters from Newlin ad- vising her that he had homesteaded land in the Coconino national forest, urging her to come and locate on ad- joining land. She sold her hotel in California, brought carload of furn- iture, implements and stock, only to find that Newlin had not secured set clement rights for her. He later agreed to sell her thirty acres of his own entry, and she moved on. He said he could not give her title at that time. Later, after she had spent $3,- 900 in improvements, she heard New lin's right to convey the land was questionable, as he had notNproven up on it.
 Then, it is alleged, Newlin sold his rights in the whole tract to Claude w. Knight. In January, last year Knight served notice on Mrs. Part ridge to leave. Recently, his attor- ney, F. D. Crable. told her to leave within a month. The month that the latter gave her was almost up when the land office made the decision in her favor.
 c. B. Wilson was Mrs. Partridge's attorney. Mrs. Partridge has made some very substantial Improvements on the land, including several large buildings, and now will homestead some of the adjoining land.

 monetary interests, Is emphatically for the enforcement of the ordinance. He says that he believes children should not be permitted to roam the streets nor even to attend his theatre at night unless accompanied by their parents. Nearly every night, there have been from thirty to sixty small boys and girls sitting together in the front seats at the Orpheum. Jack says the swearing and vulgarity pulled of among these youngsters is appalling, and that he doesn't believe any re- sponsible parents, when they know the facts, will let their children come alone to the theatre at night, and that when they bring the children with them they will keep them seated near them.
 q am willing to run special mati- nees for the children whenever have show that I think theysshould see" Mir. Costigan says. "We have mati- nees now every Saturday; yet the at- tendance of children at the Saturday matinees, despite the lower prices, is never anywhere near as large as at night. I will lose money by the en- forcement of the curfew law, but I am willing to, for I believe our first consideration should be the children" !"
 Mir. Took, who in various other parts of the United States has sought the enforcement of curfew laws and proper censorship of moving picture places frequented by children, says that in all his experience he never be- fore met theatre-owner as broad and public spirited as Costigan.

GOOD WORK DONE BY
 CHRISTMAS COMMITTEE

The community Christmas giving was carried out with enthusiasm, tact and rare good judgment. Those handling the collections and distr- button deserve the thanks and con- gratulations of all of us. There were no toys given and only few things tha cannot be put under the strict heading of necessities.
 Yes, there were toys given. But they were. donations. None were bought with the money received by the committee.
 Mrs. D. s. Roome, chairman of the committee handling the work, com pleted her accounting yesterday morn- ing, and handed in this detailed state ment of the work, so that all may know just how the money was spent:

DUNNS MOVE TO PHOENIX

Mir. and Mrs. J. D. Dunn leave to- night for Phoenix, which they will make their permanent homes They took most of their household goods with them. They have rented room ing house, at 333 North 2nd avenue, with AZ guest rooms and five room cottage.
 Mir. Dunn expresses regret at leav- ing Flagstaff, but says it is necessary for him to find something to do. He wishes it understood that he is not at all sore over his recent defeat for re- election as county assessor and would most certainly remain here if there were a suitable opening. Flagstaff people have very genuine fondness for MT. and Mrs. Dunn and wish they could find it possible not to move away.

BAD CHECK MAN DOES
 THRIVING BUSINESS

A bad check artist has been giving the banks along the main line consid- erable anxiety lately. While he has not defrauded the banks with checks given for small amounts, he has touch- ed up several business houses east and west of here with checks on State Bank of WinsIow, which came back marked "no funds" The checks have been in small amounts, the largest be- ing for $25. The checks drawn on the State Bank of Winslew were var iously signed as A. R. Fisher, L. A. Fisher, J. M. Andrews, L. A. An drews, R. M. Sanders.
 Some time ago similar artist went through the country peddling small checks under the name of Vaughn; he was last heard of in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Business men would do well to know who they are dealing with when they accept checks.

STATE OF TRADE

Retail trade helped by season. al conditions. Cold and snow north and west help winter ap- parel. Trade not up to year ago, however. Light filling-in orders from jobbers. Manufacture quiet CT and unemployment increased. Wage cuts numerous. Better tone in financial lines following lowest stock prices in three years. Railways buy rails fol- lowing lowering of outside prices to leading interests levels. Wool holders stiffer in their views, hoping for tariff changes. Clear ings smaller. Failures show a decrease from last week. Good winter wheat conditions. Prices of commodities show more strength. Export grain buying active. Food index slightly higher.
