RANGERS PUT DOWN
 BLAZE, SAVE DAMAGE
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Fire early yesterday afternoon on the Burlington ranch in the Groom Creek district threatened the city pumping plant and its adjaccr- buildings in that district.
 The flames were discovered by Arthur Hawke, of the pumping sta ton, who immediately telephoned Thomas Ryland, forest service vo- cationa1 student at the Groom Creek ranger. station. Ryland hurried to the spot, and the two men extin- guishcd the flames after they had burnt over a quarter Of an acre of ground about 100 yards from the pumping station. No damage was done.
 The fire, which occurred close to the road, was believed by forest service officials to have been caused by someone dropping lighted match or cigarette stub into the dry grass, which caught and burned like finder, and would probably have spread to the pumping station had it not been put out
 The quick work done in cxtin- gushing the flames is characteristic of the efforts on the part of local forest service rangers and helpers, which have given the Prescott for est such an excellent fire record for this year.
 Out of B fires during the year in the Prescott forest, ? were re- ported and Unit" by Prescott rangers or guards in sufficient time to keep them under one-fourth of an acre in size. Twenty-eight acres were burned over during the year.
 Most of the fircst occurred in the Prescott district, keeping Prescott Ranger NJ. L. Nichols on the go for awhile. Nichols was call ed out several times at night. and never failed to respond
 The cooperation of the public, forest service officials state, has helped materially in making the record for 1920, which, considering the lack of rain, is a very good one. As in the case of yesterdays fire, about 25 per cent of the years fires were reported by persons outside of the forest service.

 Major Stanley was replying to an inquiry by the Journal-Miner into rumor which was on the street for several days past and which had been suppressed by this paper st the request of R. N Fredericks, as totally unfounded.
 q have not been advised of such a move" the commandant contin- ued. q cannot speak, of course, of- ficially for the department in Wash ington, but I am under the impress sion that the department has not heard any definite news about the change, unless it receives it's news from street talk"

 Major McCalman, an inspector from the department who has been at Whipple for several days, said he had heard nothing, of the trade and intimated that he would probably have known of it had there been anything true about 1t.

 Just prior to the meeting in the theatcr, members of the order will meet at the lodge room for a short private session.
 Memorial day is one of the occas- ions upon which the Elks take the public into their councils. It is therefore proper in connection with the observance of the occasion to take notice of the history and ideals of the lodge. A discussion of these topics is to be found in the recent contribution of C. A. Peter, IT,, eS- aItcd ruler of the Fresno lodge and a son of C. A. Peter, cashier of the Bank oi Arizona.

 The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is not an ancient order as fraternal lodges go, but # is certain that it leads in point of and loyalty to the lodge by is large membership.

The order grew slowly at first. In 1874 there were but two lodges with a total membership of 200 During the next eight years, F new lodges were instituted and the membership in 1882 was but 1,8O6 It was dur ing the next years that the order began a marvellous growth which has continued to the present day. The total number of lodges being close i to l,4OG with a total membership of about 100000 Subordinate lodges are now located in practically every American city of importance.
 The first steps toward formation of a grand lodge were taken in New York on January 1, 1871. A char ter was obtained from the state of New York, March 10, 1871
 Prior to 1890, all sessions of the grand lodge were held in New York city. For several years prior to that time a rigorous contest has been waged in the grand lodge to have the sessions held in various cities in which there were subordinate lodges
 One thing that materially assisted in bringing about a reformation that made the grand lodge migratory was the annual kreunions of the member ship of the order held during the four or five years preceding 1890. These gatherings were held in Gin cinnati, 18S6; Detroit, 1887; Cincin- natl, 1888; Pittsburg, 1889, and then the first session of the grand lodge Iheld in Cleveland in 1890 at the same time and place as the annual reunion. Since that time it has been customary to hold the annual reun- ion and the erand lodge at the same time and place
 The Order of Elks is one of which every member feels proud. Charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity Iare its corner-stones and its love ex- tends to all humanity.

VILLA CALLED OFF BY
 AN UNARMED FL PASOAN
From Mednesday's DaiIyl

FL PASO, Texas, Nov. 3O.-Elias Torres, Fl Paso architect who in- duced Francisco Villa to turn from the ways of banditry to farming, has revealed the details of his memor- able visit to the home of the former outlaw.
 Torres went to Villa unarmed and alone, in order to banish any sus- picion on the part of the Mexican chief that trickery was involved.
 Villa was silent, suspicious and for long time would not say any thing" MT. Torres said. However, he noted that l was unarmed and that apparently there was nobody at hand to protect me. This convinced him of my good faith and after l had talked with him four or five hours, absolutely alone, he began to realize the force of my represents lions"
 MT. Torres said he appealed to Villa as patriotic Mexican, telling him he firmly believed the new ad- minisuation would restore order in Mexico and secure the recognition of foreign governments, or else Americans would take the country.
 At that Villas eyes flashed de- fiance," MT Torres said, and he declared that in all his dealings with Americans, save a few who had been his friends, they had invariably double-crossed him. He declared in case of American intervention in force he would be able to take care of himself and proceeded to argue that if the Americahs did come it would have the instant effect Of unifying all Mexicans to resist an invasion In that case Villa be- lieved he would himself be made an important leader of the national cause"
 Villa finally became convinced and agreed that he would quit if ar engagements could be made with the government at the City of Mexico that would insure his person and his independent establishment as a "gentlcman planter" Torres said.
 Torres remained several days and explained to Villa that he came on his own responsibility and was in terested only in Mexican welfare, He agreed to go to Mexico City and place Villas position before the national leaders. This done, he re- turned to Villa and the chieftain signed the agreement whereby he became a private citizen and in duced his followers to try to earn an honest living.

 The Christmas seal is unusually attractive, bearing Santa Claus and his pack, with the words: "Merry Christmas 1920" and a "Healthy New Year" The sign of the association adds to the general appearance of the seal.
 All funds received from the sale of the seals will be used in relief and preventative measures. There are no paid workers and the funds received from the Christmas seals means that good work will be ac- comp1ished.
 Tuberculosis is no respector Of persons. It may snatch the most valuable person in the community as well as the most useless. It has taken, with their mission but partly completed, a William of Orange, q Keats, a Schiller, a Chopin, a John Paul Jones, Raphael and a Robert Louis Stevenson.
 The duty of the national, state, county and committee associations on tuberculosis is to spread the knowledge of the facts concerning tuberculosis in such way that more and more people in the com munity will feel that this problem of preventing a preventable disease is their problem. Education is the watchword of the associations in the future as it has been in the past The fight against tuberculosis is our fight and your fight; struggle that needs the help of everyone who is concerned with the protection and preservation of his fellow-man and himself. It is a work of true re- 1igion and a patriotic work for it helps preserve the health of the city and through the city, the nation.
 Through the modern health cru sade the state association has en- rolled 6,0OO school children in Arj- zona in the keeping of daily health habits designed to build up strong, healthy, disease-resisting bodies. prepared literature on tu- berculosis has been distributed both in English and Spanish Exhibits have been placed on display with at- tendants to explain to the audience the modern and approved methods of taking the cure for tuberculosis and the precautions necessary in the prevention of euberculosis.
