GLOBE OFFICERS CAPTURE
 BIGGEST STILL IN WEST

What is reported to be the biggest and most complete illicit whisky mak- -ng outfit eve~ found in the southwest was uncovered by Deputies Sam Hard wick and Bill Wilson recently in a tunnel on the Miami Consolidated property west of Miami
 In addition to it's completeness the outfit was evidently company affair, cleverly concealed and operating on large scale. A tunnel, the mounth of which was covered with brush, and boarded up behind the brush, was the avenue to big cave in which the out, fit was found. The cave was man made. of sufficient size to accommo' date the entire equipment.
 The still proper was 30-gallon af- fair, equipped to deliver 3. maximum amount of juice in short time As & means of heat the still rested on what had been two-burner oil stove. This stove had been remodeled so that six burners could be employed at one time under the boiler
 Aside from the still, five barrels containing fifty gallons each of corn mash and two sacks of corn together with miscellaneous equipment were found
 No arrests were made, there being nobody in the vicinity to claim the outfit. It is estimated that the equip went had steadys capacity of more than 50 gallons of white mule each 24 hours. The still has been brought to Globe. The mash will be destroyed without removing it from the proper ty, it is reported

THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY
 MAKES STATEMENT

The attention of the Standard Oil Company, (California), has been call ed to articles appearing in Arizona newspapers describing meeting near Phoenix. on November 23rd where the Maricopa County Highway pro gram was discussed which indicate that the impression has been created that the Standard Oil Company is in some manner concerned in the Mari copa County Highway bond litigation.
 The sole interest of the Standard Oil company, California; in the Ma ricopa County project ended last Spring when the Compnay's bid foi furnishing Maricopa County with a certain quantity of Asphalta bid call ed for by the Highway Commission was not accepted.
 This Company has had no part whatever in the litigation in eonnec ton with the Maricopa bond issue. The Standard Oil Company, (Califor nia}. has made no enort to interfere nor will it's policy permit such an at tempt with the decision of the peo- pie and authorities of Maricopa or any other County, and in the Mari copa situation has taken no action be- yond submitting a bid, and placing befora the authorities statements con eernfhe the use of Asphaltum for paw ing and road building. in the manu. facture and sale of which the Com pany is engaged

STATE CHAIRMAN
 0F RELIEF COUNCIL
 TALKS AT SERVICE

MT. Norman Carmichael, state chair man of the European Relief Council, who had been in Phoenix for several days on this work, arrived in Clifton Sunday afternoon and spoke at the Baptist Church the same evening to large audience. MT. Carmichael stated that he had been appointed state chairman in this great under taking to secure $33,900, ,000.09 from the United States for the succor of the starving children in European countries He warned the audience against confusing European Relief with Near East. Relief as. they are distinct and separate. The speaker also read numerous excerts from the speeches and writings of Herbert Hoover showing how desperate is the condition of the people, especially the children in those afflicted countries, and assured the Clifton people against the notion that any money they might contribute would fail of it's purpose by saying that the name of Herbert Hoover was synonymous with efficirn- cy.

'ON
 ARMENIA AFFAIRS

The students of Clifton High on Friday December r, 1920. we're much impressed by g talk delivered to them by Mrs. Mabel RA Shoemaker Mrs. Shoemaker is a representative of the Near East Relief. The topic was the Armenians.
 We learned thru her that the Ar nrRnians were Christianized ip the third century, and have remained firm believers throughout many centuries, They also built one of the most wond- erful educational systems that ths world has ever known. The fact of the matter is, these people were be coming So highly educated and civil .ized that the Turks became, not only jealous but afraid of them Tn the year 1885 the Turks decided to oppress this wonderful race.
 AS we all know, during the Great War, the Armenians were fearfully oppressed by the Turks There is no need to mention the atrocities they suffered at the hands of the Turks.
 The fact that needs be brought to mind is that these Christians are at the present day suffering untold mis- cries, due to lack of food, proper clothing, and the general poverty of the country, caused by the wanton distraction of the Turks Many of them are dying from lack of sufficient nour:shment. Those that do not die, are more than half starved and cannot do the work that is necessary to re- build their homes.
 They know that we are Christians and they look to us for the much needed help. Altho we are doing much to help them, we can and should do more. Are we going to let such a great race of people be wiped of the face of the earth thru starvation and
 lack of funds with which. to rebuild l that civilization of theirs which has been completedly destroyed? You who read this article will deny 1 that Americans are so uninterested, that the cry for our help from these
 people is in vain. But so far it has
 gone unoticed by the multitude. ask
 you, is this what should be expected i of the people that consider themselves
 the most highly civilized race on the
 earth? What would we think of the
 man that would ignore the call for the
 from a drowning child? It is a 1 PLEA of the same class that is com
 ing across the water to us from the | children of Armenia.
 The author of this article has ra.
 ther neglected the talk of Mrs. Shoe
 maker. as he had a few ideas on the I subject himself. Mrs. Shoemaker ask 1 ed the school how many would take l the responsibility of feeding one | Armenian child. The pupils showed the way they felt when they all agre
 ed that they would like to accept such responsibility.
 AS conclusion. the writer has add
 cd . few more words of his own
 Instead of getting five pounds extrs turkey (unless it is five pounds 0i Armanian's Turkey) send that extra
 money to the Near East Relief. ask
 ing them to feed some little Armenian child Show that "Christmas Spirit. and remember that ArmenA wouat like little something to cat or T Christmas Day.

 DEATH NEAR PHOENIX

Three of the five children of MT and Mrs. Harry Selzkoff, who lived on the ranch of R. H. Logue. half mile west of Grand avenue on lateral 19, near Phoenix were burned to death at It. 30 Wednesday night when the Selzkoff residence was destroyed.
 After supper Wednesday night the SelZkoffs went to visit sick neighbor, leaving their five children. boys and two girls, in charge of their oldest daughter, aged 12. The ages of the other children ranged down to the younger daughter, aged B. r
 As they were leaving the neigf Sor's house after Il o'clock the parents saw a bright glow in the direction of their home and. fearful of fire, hurried all they could. --4-, ,--.eis
 They arrived too late. Their home was 8 mass of flames when they reached it. and outside were two of their children, boys aged and ', crying bitterly, their clothing nothing but charred rags and their little bodies bearing the angry scars of the flames.
 Others ia House
 Asked where their two sisters and their other brother were, the fright ened children could do nothing but point to the rapidly burning house and sob.
 Aid was summoned hurried1y from Glendale, and a rescue party went to the scene of the tragedy. The rescu- help, however, for by the time they reached the place the building was reduced to pile of glowing embers
 AS soon as it was possible to enter the ruins, efforts were made to find the bodies of the three children who were unable to escape.
 Tn the twisted wrapped frame oi wbat once had been their bed, the bodies of the baby girl. aged 3, and her tiny brother two years her senir were found. charred almost beyond recognition and locked in each others arms. They evidently died as they slept, too frightened to make any at l tempt to find heir way from the bet ] or ou of the house.
 How Fire Started 1 Back of the fire place was found ths ! body of the eldest child. the 12-yeal l old girl, also burned almost to , i crisp
 1 There are no means of knowing how i the fire started. but it is believed the younger children had been put to bet | by their sister, and that she latei fell asleep in chair near the fire Later coal may have been dislodget 1 and rolling beyond the hearth. it ma! ] have set fire to a rug or to the floor
 The two little boys who managet to escape with their lives. but wh' are frightfully burned, still are unabl to give any graphic account of thei ] experiences
 ! All they know is that they wer awakened by stifing smoke and tn roar of the flames and jumped out o 1 bed managed to reach the outer ai i with their cloth :ng on fire in a dozel places. This they extinguished a best they could, and not until the
 had saved themselves from furthe burning did they realize that thei
