ISN'T IT AWFUL?

A Flagstaff man in Williams a few days ago Yicked u1 three interesting postal cards. on sale there One was a view of San Francisco Peaks, taken about two miles west of here, and was labeled 'Elevation 1900 feet'' ;, the further information being given, in print, that the picture was taken from near Williams. Another card had "a mountain drive near Williams" but in reality was a drive on Obsera- tory Hill, Flagstaff. The third postal bore the label, Lake Mary, near Williams.
 It was Lake Mary, all right.
 -Coconino Sun.
 Mildewed Mildred or Del are absolutely right in calling our local merchant for selling views of this nature taken around Flagstaff, when one considers how much more beautiful a pos tai of Bill Williams Mountain, Coleman Lake or a drive through the Santa Fe Canyon would be. And the worst part about the affair is that the post cards in question, were bought from a Flagstaff photographer. It is too bad that Brother Breen cannot chloroform the citiens of Williams until taX-paying or election time.

The meeting Wednesday interest from start to finish. The third degree was put on in good form-full of pep-and we think we have Bro. Jas. Foley fairly well trained for after 1t was over and James had had time to wipe the perspirat- ion from his brow, with some assistance he arose and said he thot the whole bunch were gentlemen. Say Boy that is going some. If we can in the future, inject some such thot or sentiment in each of our new we'll.
 The Lodge was pleased to have as their Guest one of their number that from press (Steam Press) of business, has been un- able to attend for many reasons We don't know how he got by the Inside Guard, but we are forced to think it was with a bribe. However we are glad to welcome back into the fold one Bro. w. H. Allison.
 Election of Officers was one of the features of the evening. Bro. R. D. Mitchell was elected for Nobel Grand, Bro. Guy Rigg was elected for Vice Grand, Bro. c. R. Sullivant (again) for Sec, Bro. Harry McDougaI for Treas; for trus- tees: Bros. T. H. Cureton, John Boyd, and Geo. McDougal. And last but not least was the fxings out in the Banquet Hall. As was announced last week a hunting party was planned for Sunday but as the day was one of the worst this winter only seven Odd Fellows had the nerve to make the trip. Thanks to the ones that did go we had 24 fine fat bunnys. 4 jacks, one owl and two hawks. Cooked in a Pressure Cooker you can not tell Hawk from owl. Some feed, with mashed potatoes, cold Slaw, bread and butter, coffee, does it sound hard to take?

SCHOOL NOTES

The school enjoyed quite a thrill Monday when all of the rooms assembled and marched down to the station to welcome Marshal Foch. All joined in singing America and the Star Spangled Banner for the bene- fit of the Marshal who appear ed to appreciate tile singing very much. Each pupil felt quite privileged to be permitted to drop classes in order to get a look at the greatest general of today.
 The different rooms of the school are engaging in a con- test this week selling Christmas seals for the anti-tuberculosis fund. Great progress has been made in the national fight against tuberculosis through funds which are raised each year by the sale of Christmas seals. The children are, enter ing into the contest with great earnestness and it is anticipated that Williams will purchase 1iNA O11 N IAOIcl Cd1
 The basketball girls are look ing forward eagerly to Friday when. they will leave for Wins low and Holbrook to play re- turn games with the school teams in those towns. The girls have been practicing hard and are hopeful of victory.
 The school gets excellent water from the Buggeln well. This water is pumped into an elevated tank by a new ten foot windmill recently purchased by the school district. We feel very fortunate in having an abundance of good water when the residences in the town are almost without water.
 Lawrence Pratt, of Los Ang- eles, entered the second year in high school on Tuesday. We are glad to welcome him to our school
 The unusually fine weather for December gives the school children an opportunity for out side play at school. This is a great help in keeping the pupils healthy and thoroughly fit for school work.
 Dean D. w. Working of the Arizona Agricultural College, of the University of Arizona. visited our school, Monday, and spoke to the. High School. In his address he dealt with two main topics: agriculture as adapted to Coconino County, and the organization and work of the University at Tucson. The talk was very much enjoyed by all.

FIRED-STEAI.S SHOT
 IN JAIL.

HCIt Smith. formerly an en1- ployee at the State Highway Camp west of town, was dis charged last Thursday and en- deavored to even up with c. H. Snyder whom he seemed to con- meet in some way with his dis charge. O. H. Snyder was all so employed at the camp
 Smith entered Snyder's camp about ten o'clock in the fore noon and as it was later learned took a shot gun valued at S7O and a number of articles of clothing. The theft was dis covered at noon. MT. Snyder drove to town immediately and finding deputy sheriff Campbell away on official business. hunt ed up Marshal Burns, also a deputy sheriff, and returned to- ward the camp with him.
 The road camp was located about eight miles out from Ash Fork. Smith set out for Will Hams. He avoided Snyder as he drove to town, but was caught off his guard when Shy der and Burns returned and was found walking along the road. He was placed under arrest and brought to Williams. and arraigned before Justice McDougal. The Judge found grounds for binding him over to the Superior Court.

EDUCATIONAL WEEK
By T. H. Cureton, Principal

This is Educational Week and the high school principals throughout the country are writing about their schools. In these articles you will read about the great progress the high school systems have made within the past few years. Our school is no exception to the rule for in 1918 there were only IT students enrolled in our high school while this year we have 47 enrolled.
 Our high school was organ nized in 1914, and to date we have graduated fifteen students The graduates in order of time are as follows:
 1917 Pete Campbell Marshall Hughes Herbert Johnson Walter Finney Claude Melick Fred Seegar Lenore Reese Riola Phillips
 Mildred Smith
 1921 Charles R. Sullvant Jr. Elsie Maxwell Helen Maxwell Iva EaSton
 Raymond Seegar Levi Montgomery
 Five of the above fifteen are nov attending college and four o1 the others are attending the State Normals in Arizona. This seems to be an exceptional rec ord for high school graduates seeking higher education.
 The value of a four year high school course has been eStimat- ed to be $1O,OOO to each indi- Vidual finishing the course. At this rate our high school would have a value in graduates alone of $15O,OOO. This does not take into consideration the large number of students who have attended one, two or three years. By estima ting the pres ent year at an average daily at tendance of 40 we have a cash value to all the high school students of $1OO,OOO for the year.
 It pays to attend high school !

WILLIAMS BIRD FOLK DE-
 MAND ALL THE THRILLS

Rex Smith, of Salt Lake, sail ed into Williams Tuesday after noon in his three pa~3enger plane. He alighted at : 2 Vii
 Hams aviation field, wIsi h he declared one of the be which he had landed upon. -rs soon as it was learned that u. ? plane. was a three passenger oHe4. Rex was besieged with requests for rides. He was not averse and soon upwards of a dozen would-be birdfolk had contract ed for a ride in his aerial buss- at the fare of one dollar per minute spent in the air.
 Rex was a little startled to learn that all of the passengers in prospect included in their re quests, a full exhibition of "aI he had'' in the way of thrills to be included in their bargain for a flight. He was game and ae- cordingly dosed out loop-the, loops, tail spins, nose dives, falling leaf antics and other stunts to his full capacity. Most of the Williams people who partook of this new thrill had not ridden in a plane before, yet not one of them showed the white feather.
 The impressions of those who made the flight were much alike. None denied that the aviator had dished up a goodIy number of real thrills. One 4I, AL combined loop and tail spin Each one declared that this was the greatest thrill of all. They said that the plane acted all right and stayed under them where it belonged but the earth went on a spree of drunken carousal. First it would be overhead where it did not be long, and then it would be along side of them and again when they were fully convinced that | the earth had suddenly jumped | above them and tried to take another look at it there, they would find that it had szvitchea back beneath and was in it's former position. WithaI the oPOON w do OO SI cot S was no picking out of definite landmarks below for when one had located a certain building he would be startled the next moment to find that it had sud , denly changed position com pletely and was not tobe found
 MT. Smith sped away Thurs i day afternoon, bound for Phoe- nix where he expects to remain for some time. He was quite surprised to find how eagerly the people of Williams took to the bird life. His theory in explanation of this peculiarity is that the high altitude has de veloped in the people here cer- tain bird instincts which iTT distant prehistoric days may have been common to 8 flying race. Among those who avail ed themselves of the opportun- ity to soar among the clouds and breath the unpolluted ozone of the upper stratas of the atmosphere to the accom- paniment of aerial antics that outdo alike the eagle and the swallow were:
