The Snowflake Herald Is Not
to "Quit," f.?

'Is The Snowflake Herald going to con-
tinue to be pubIished?'
rs The Snowflake Herald to discontinue
publications."
The above and similar questions have been
asked the writer at various times since the death
OF the proprietor and publisher of the paper.
We are authorized to state that The Snow
flake Herald WILL NOT cease publication and
will continue to do business "at the old stand"-
PROVIDED, however, that the good people of
Snowflake and this section of the country appre-
cate the value and the prestige such an enter
prise deserves by fully supporting it financially
and with their hearty cooperation.
The Herald was established in Snowflake
by the late proprietor without soliciting any
cash bonus from the people, which is very un-
usual, as most towns are willing to contribute
literally toward an enterprise of this kind, be-
cause they realize the great value oof news
paper, not only as an advertising medium but
also as a booster for the town.
The whole matter of cooperation and finan-
cial backing rests with the people of Snowflake
and vicinity as to whether or not the Herald
WILL CONTINUE PUBLICATION HERE,
since it is realized that no newspaper nowadays
can be run successfully and prosperously without
nection it might be we'll to mention that if the
people of this section do not care to support an
enterprise of this kind there are other nearby
towns offering good cash bonuses for the estab-
lishment and publication of newpaper in their
respective communities. However, the Herald
is averse being compelled to make move, and
we are confident that such step will not be
necessary, for we feel sure that in the future
the people of the town will recognize the great
need of newspaper in their midst and the
loss they would sustain by it's removal
From now on more than ever, the Herald
is going to boost, not only for Snowflake but
for all of Navajo county, especially the southern
part, and in doing this we shall expect the
hearty support and cooperation of every wide
awake person who is desirous of seeing Snow
flake and Navaj 10 county grow and prosper.
Now, business men and citizens, it is up to
YOU whether The Snowflake Herald is to remain
with you and to continue to boost for you.

Worshipped at the shrine of

Never, nor no where. nor
among any people have we known
a man to be devoted more to his
family than was Judge Smith.
He was true to himself, to his
fellow man, an honor to his pro-
fession.
Only a short time ago we en-
joyed a visit from Judge Smith.
We saw that his health was at
low ebb, yet the untimely taking
off was a shock. He had not
passed far down life's pathway,
being comparatively young in
years, full of hope and energy,
yet ripe in experience with deeds
we'll done.

program.
Before the Chautauqua starts
there will be a drive for the sale
of season tickets. A number of
progressive local citizens have
agreed to sell block of season
tickets in order to bring the
Chautauqua here. The season
ticket offers many advantages
as it admits some member of a |
family to each of the ten pro-
grams at a fraction of the single
admission cost. The entire cost
of a season ticket is about the
same as the price of admission
to the best three programs. Full
details of the plans will be an
nounced later.

KANSAS CITY TO APOLOGIZE
City Officials Sorry Because of Labor
Day Parade Insults to Allen.

Kansas City. Kan. is to officially
apologize to Governor Allen because
of insulting banners carried in the
Labor day parade in that city. Action
was taken by the city commission
favorable to a formal apology and it
will be sent to the governor in day
or two.

rade. One marcher carried an invert-

cuted under a criminal section of the
state law, according to reports. Mayor
MendenhalI and other city officials
rode in the parade. Action of the la
Dor leaders was later criticised by the
mayor.
Governor Allen stated today he had
received no word from the Kansas
City commission and knew nothing
of its action. He refused to comment.

With Billions In Wealth
Kansas Has Warrant For
$224 Turned Dovr1 By Bank
Cleveland Firm May Have Figured State Was About tc
Go Thru Receivership-State Manager
Is Shocked.

In spite OF her billions of dollars in
wealth, a warrant of the state of KAN
sas for S224.25 was not good for pay
ment when presented at the federal
reserve bank in Kansas City several
days ago. That is the information
which has come to James A. Kimball,
state manager, thru a Cleveland firm
in whose favor the warrant was drawn
There was an awful shock in store
for the Cleveland firm when it re-
ceived a warrant on the Kansas state
treasury returned thru a bank in that
city. The warrant was regular in form
and properly signed. But there was
seemingly an insufficient state balance
to meet the issue when presented at
state depository. The bank didn't
take any chances. Besides overdraw-
ing bank accounts has been declared
an illegal act in this state.
It Is probable the Cleveland firm
feared the state of Kansas was about
to go thru a receivership. There may
have been a tendency to discount the
stories which have been sent out of
Kansas about the Al million bushel
wheat crop and the 130 million bushel
corn crop. Then the head of the Ohio

Possibility of Winter Goa
Shortage Now Eliminated.
All Roads Crowd Rolling Stock
to the Limit.

Chicago, Sept. S.-Possibility of a
shortage in coal, grain and essential
commodities this winter has been
eliminated by a speeding up in rail-
road efficiency in handling and load
ing of freight cars, railroad officials
here said today.
AS a result of a campaign to in
crease mileage and loading of freight

SETTLE FIRST ROW
Initial Appeal Comes to Indus
trial Court Today.
Joplin-Pittsburg Railway Wage
Squabble Is Up to Judges.

The first appeal to the court of in
dustrial relations to dictate terms of a
labor contract was made today by en-
ployes of the Joplin Pittsburgh cleo
trio line. Employees of the road have
been unable to reach an agreement
with their employers relative to the
new contract. Now the workers have
called on the state labor court to set
tie the controversy
Last spring the industrial court
granted the street car workers an in
crease in wages. This increase is said
to have averaged 3 cents an hour. 1t
was one of the first cases decided by
the new court.
Among requests in the new petition
is a further increase in wages. The
industrial court act gives power to the
new court to settle contract disputes
where employees and employers are
unable to dispose of their differences.
A number of wage cases have been
presented to the court. Now. for the
first time, the tribunal is called upon
to fix provisions in a contract between
the laborer and his employer.

should be ripening- Unless the rain
stops, the corn will either be caught
by the frost before it is mature. or the
farmers will face conditions of the
fall of 1917. when the rains continued
late into the season. and the corn re-
mained soft. never maturing, making
it unfit for milling purposes, and rot

MEIAN BRIDGE Is STILL OPEN.
Battle Between City and Weather
Gives Flora the Edge.

The repairing of the MelaH bridge
pavement is taking on the aspect Of
battle of wits between W. S. Hancock,
street commissioner. and s. D. Flora,

Flora predicts rain.
1t was intended 10 close the bridge
this morning but the rain last night
and the threatening weather pre-

he will seize the first opportunity to
finish the paving job.
