Girls Auxiliary Enjoy Halo
we'en Party.

DR.. and Mrs. R. G. Lee opened
their home on Tuesday evening for
a Halloween party for the Girls
Auxiliary of the Baptist church. This
is the age when young people have
the best time and they had every op-
portunity to enjoy themselves on this
occasion. ,.,,
The receiving line was little out
of the ordinary, and not just what we
usually see at such festive time. They
were ghosts and witches and even
s'Tall Betsy who hasn't visited Edge

Two little mysterious personages
in the receiving line, disappeared be-
hind the door when all the scarry
thins began to happen. They were

were too sweet and pretty to be as
sociated with ghosts and witches, es-
pecially when they said boo" t

covered with Jack-o'lanterns with
queer looking faces.
When all sorts of mysterious
games had been played and fortunes
told. and strange portions drunk
their fears were all relieved and fruit

tifully served.
The young people said "Tall Bet.

visitor, and every now and ther

was as merry as youth can make

Miss Florence Minis Weekly
Letter.
Dear Advertiser:

Lear AQVerClSeT. tf
Seventy-four years will have pass
ed before America can celebrate the
centennial of the landing of Column
bus in the new world. 1t is customary
for schools to make mention of this
day for the good of the pupils who
must know the history of their coun-
try, in order to handle its future
problems in the years that are to
come. =
On Friday afternoon a program
took place in the auditorium of the
Aurora High school. 1t was wonder
full to think what a real right some
of the children to stand and talk
about Columbus, since they had
shared Italy with him, in having
Italian parents or forbears. He had
come over as forerunner to prepare
the way for these dark-eyed childreIt
who would help to build up the land
which he had braved the then un-
known ocean to discover. ~
1t almost brought tears to my eyes
to see Swedes, Norwegians, Italians,
Montenegrins and Austrians singing
columbia the Gem of the Ocean,
as though their ancestors had fought
to keep the red, whiet and blue wav-
ing over the land, these people who
have so recently knocked for admit
tance at our various front doors
along the Eastern coast.
They stood and pledged allegiance
to this country, looking at and salut1
ing the flag which stood on the plat
form. Even as the Christian religion
seems to be the best because it acy
cepts the good of all the pagan re-
ligions and adds them to its own, so
the American flag SENS to stand mob
only for valor, purity and truth but
for godo qualities that characterize
every country.
One likes to ithink of Columbus as
essentially man of courage. The
"carry on" spirit of the great war
was evident in Columbus, as the
"sail on" spirit, when the crew of one.
of his three smaller ships wanted to
mutiny.
History is filled with examples that
are inspiring to the school child. The
afternoon program ended with "The
Star Spangled Banner" which was
sung by people who knew the words.
That is an unusual thing in America;
Our national anthem says that this
is "the land of the free and the
home of the brave" regardless of.
creed, nationality or previous condi-
tions of servitude. g
America goes back to the icoun-
tries of Europe for its art, literature. e.
;anr music, while they come los Hss for'
the application of certain standards
and virtues which are as old as
time, but as untried in the old world

VOICE FROM THE

Deposition of Clarence In.

on behalf of Harry f. Woottot,
charged with kidnapping in connec-
ton with the Bisbee deportations
of July 12, 1917, according to
statement made by w, G. Gilmore
of counsel for the defense, in an ar
gument delivered to the jury late
today.
Mr.. Gilmore referred TO the dep
osition of Clarence Ingram, one or
the defendants in another case ar s.
ing from the deportations, VINO

sition, Ingram swore that he OF
fered Fred w. Brown. whom Woot-
ton is charged with having de-
ported, the opportunity to leave the
ranks of the men about to be
shipped out, but Brown refused TO
depart, saying, "Those were ms
people and he was going WIN
them" If this claim should be es-
tablished, the jury has been in
structed to find the defendant not
guilty.
what motive could Ingram, six
hours before his death, have had to
tell lie?" the defense lawyer de-
manded, Unlike Brown, he had
no suit for $4,000 against the men
who took part in the deportations.
"The cold sweat of death was
probably already on Ingram's brow
when he signed the deposition.
Perhaps already the death emu
was upon him. He was about 70

ence, about to cross the dark river
into the great unknown, whence
no traveller returns He was look

ture. Under such Circumstance II
is unthinkable that he should nave

BY comparing Browns testimony
with Ingram's depo osition, Mr.. Git
more sought to show that they were
! in agreement as to Browns al
| legged desire to stay with ms own
people"
Excoriating the Industrial Work
ers of the World and their SYM
rathizers, whom he contendea
menaced the safety of the Warren
mining district during the MD
summer of 1917, the defense attor-
ney said:
captain Harry C. Wheeler, then
sheriff of Cochise county, knew me
principles of the |. W. W., and he
realized that something would have
to be done Immediately to save his
| people, and he did !.
"On that day, Captain Wheeler

The county attorney is right In moi

served his people and his county
wisely and WELL"
By citing the songs and prose

more sought to prove that tie
character of the organization was
such as to warrant the deportation
of 1.1S6 striking copper miners and
heir sympathizers many of whoE'
| he claimed were Industrial Work
ers of the world and were plotting
| the destruction of the district
According to indications tonight,
J it is possible that the case may
reach the jury late tomorrow or
