Cupid Wins Again.

Cupid Wins Again.
 News comes to us at this time of the recent conquest by Don Cupid of one of our former Flagstaff boys, James A. Lamport, Jr., who was united in marriage to Hallie D. Fitz- hugh, of 546 Locust avenue, Long Beach, Calif., December 30, 1919.
 The bride is capable young woman who is well known in her home city as an efficient teacher of domestic science and art. The happy young couple will make their home at present at Selig- man, Arizona, where the groom, an able and dependanble electrician, is in the employ of the Santa Fe.
 Jimmie Lamport is well known in Flagtasff and has hosts of friends and old schoolmates here who join in wishing him and his bride the fullest joy of the life that is before them. We trust that they will not forget old friends here, but will call on them in the near future.

Have You a Community Nurse?

Have You a
 Community Nurse? How many times have we seen this question? Will you follow carefully these five statements given below: One in every five babies dies before it's first birthday. Contagious diseases kill 300,00C children every year. One in every ten men and women dies of tuberculosis in the prime of life.
 Countless numbers of men, women and children are hampered and dis tressed by ill health. More women die in childbirth than , of any disease except tuberculosis.
 We know good health and long life are the inherent rights of everyone but these rights are not to be obtain ed for the asking. If you wish to pre-. serve your health and that of youl children yo,r should see to it that your community is protected by the agents of modern health practices. Modern-Yes it applies here as in business. No one who wants to sue Cccu iS SoHIchS WitH Oiu ways, WOFH- out, handed-down methods. If this ap. plies in business, why not protect youi health in the same way? The community nurse cares for the sick, protects the we'll and teaches the principles of good health to all.
 The big cities have long recognized the best dollar any community can spend is the dollar it invests in con- servation of community life and health.
 Flagstaff will have a community nurse.
 So say the social service workers Have you ever seen the women of Flagstaff go after a community bene. fit?
 Just look back few years and see if these are not some outstanding fea- lures due to women's efforts. Here is one that effects the community vii tally. Had such inspection taken place twenty years ago--one-third of our young men would not have been rejected for military service on ac- count of physical defects, many of which could have been prevented in childhood.
 Watch the Social Service circle!

REV. JACOB M. WHITE DEAD

Word has just recently been re- ceived in Flagstaff of the sad and sud- den death of The Reverend Jacob Morton White, rector of St. Johns church (Episcopal) at Bisbee, in this state. This will be unhappy news to many persons in Flagstaff, for Rev. Mir. White had many friends here, and had often preached in the church of the Epiphany. For six years MT. White was rector of St. Pauls church at Winslow, leaving there to go to Bisbee in January, 1918.
 It is learned that MT. White died last Sunday, January 4th, from pneu- monia, having contracted a bad cold on Christmas Day, which quickly de- veloped into the more dangerous ill., ness. His body has been removed to Virginia fov interment there at his old home.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT
Kansas City Stock Yards,
 Jauua,v E 1OO0

January D, l9zO.
 Sheep prices today were the highest of the season. Hogs sold above $500 fSr the first time since early Novem- Der. Pea fed lambs brought $18.25, or more than $500 higher than a year ago, and hog prices were 25 to 40 cents higher than the close of last week. Cattle receipts were liberal and the market weak.
 T0day's Receipts.
 Today's receipts were 10000 cattle, l5,000 hogs and 1000 sheep, compared with 17,00O cattle, 14,000 hogs and 1000 sheep week ago, and 21 800 cattle, 24,300 hogs, and 6,360 sheep a year ago.
 Beef Cattle Slow.
 Trade in fat cattle today opened slowly and prices were weak. Liberal receipts at all the markets, together with slow demand reported for beef in the east caused the weakness. The run was fairly we'll distributed be- tween killing and stock and feeding grades. The bulk of the killing cattle were short fed steers and cows, most ly from Kansas, Nebraska and Mis- souri. Steers sold at 5000 to S14.25. with no full fed steers available. Cows brought $5.50 to $6.00, for "canners", i, $6.25 to SIPS for cutters, $7.5O to $l0 for butcher grades, and $10.25 to SIP for choice to prime kinds. Veal calves were steady at $S.50 to s16.
 St0ckers and Feeders Receipts Large, Receipts of thin cattle were the largest for some time past, and trade was fairly active at steady prices. A good many country buyers were here. Good heavy feeders sold readily though extreme heavy weights were in less urgent demand. Several con- signments of Colorado and New Mex ico range stockers brought $8.50 to $1O.25. Stock cows and heifers, and calves sold slowly.
 Urgent Demand for Hogs.
 Urgent demand caused another ad- vance in hog prices today, and the top quotation was up to $15.10 for the first time in some weeks past. Com pared with Saturday, the market was up 25. to 40 cents, and 80 to 90 cents higher than a week ago. The bulk of hogs sold at $14.6O to $500. Receipts uCIC iCIHdlucu IuOucfdtc, Uut were llD- eral eastward. The recent upturn in prices is attributed to the belief that the heaviest winters runs have all ready reached markets. Stock hogs and pigs sold readily.
 Sheep and Lamb Receipts Liberal
 Though sheep receipts were fairly liberal for. the season of the year de- mand is large, and prices continued to advance. Compared with last week the market was 25 to 50 cents higher, and the highest since last spring. Pea fed lambs from Colorado sold up to $18.25. Yearlings are quoted at $14.00 to $15.00, ewes $10.25 to $11.0O, and feeding lambs $14.50 to $500.
 Horses and Mules.
 The weeks trade in the horse di- vision opened with liberal receipts and a large number of buyers at the auc- ton. Prices were firm. Demand for mules was large also. The large vol ume of business anticipated this month is showing up.
