Annual Dinner.
 An established custom, that of hold ing congregational dinner, brought out a goodly number of the friends of the Federated church last Friday ev- ening. When one entered the parlors of the old Presbyterian church, there stretched before the eye, were three long, beautifully decorated tables. Here at six or shortly after gathered as many people as the tables could conveniently hold and immediately the ladies of the congregation served most delicious dinner.
 Rev. Took and his wife were placed at the head of the central table and after all had had their fill of the good things, different reports from the va rious church committees were in or der. Only on an occasion such as this can an adequate conception of the church's working plans be gauged, so those most interested in all phases are always sure to greet this means of hearing reports.
 The church just now seems to be in good condition as to members and f. nancial standing, while the Sunday school with new superintendent, Prof. J. F. Walker, and splendid corps of teachers, is working each Sunday for a larger enrolment. The ladies of both the Missionary and Aid societies are anxious, too, to secure more cooperation for these import ant branches of the church's work. We have often wondered what system on,,l1 hA tn haua member of congregation obligate himself or herself to do part of some of the work of the various organized church activities. What an infinite simal part would be the portion of each member, but what a mighty working machine the church would become.
 The ladies are to be congratulated on the successful dinner and the pleas ure they gave to such large num- Der of people.

January Meet of Wnman's Club.

Last Saturday found Mrs. Lamp land presiding at the January meet ing of the Flagstaff Woman's club.
 After the roll call and reading of the minutes by Mrs. Taylor, secretary, the usual routine of business was talk en up. New names were presented and voted on at the conclusion of the business session. The hostesses for the occasion had provided a most bounti- ful lunch and after a program of mu- the full. Miss Clara Davis sang a number of charming selections and Miss Alcorn, of Williams, played with true artistic ability, a number of lovely selections.
 Campfire Girls.
 We'll, we must be doing something, so let's help the Campfire Girls Sat urday afternoon and evening with their picture show. It is for worthy cause.-the Herbert Hoover relief work with little children. Did you know that more children have perished from lack of food during the year than the total loss of life during any one year of the war?
 Isn't that something to think about Now the girls want to make enough Saturday to help send food to these little sufferers. One has only to close his eyes and have "the vision" to re- alize that his little mite, such as a couple tickets, may help bring relief, even though it be not as speedy as he wish, to these little ones. The girls will have both the afternoon and evening performance so you can go yourself and send the children, too, in the afternoon. It is Jack Pickford in "Out of College" Let's go and help the splendid cause.

WHERE NEXT WAR WILL BE

Secretary Weeks spoke only plain
common sense when he said that while
he, too, hoped for eventual general
disarmament it would be madness for
us to disarm while nations with which
the United States might have to be at
war were feverishly increasing their
armament.
1t was not necessary for Secretary
Weeks to say that Japan is the nation
which he had in mind, but one does
not need to be a mind-reader to know
that Japan was in his thoughts. Prac-
t1cally every officer in the army and
navy knows that.
Mr.. Harding has filled his Cabinet
with men who are both able and plain
speaking. The Secretary of the NAVY.
Mr.. DENLY, does o lag behind his
colleagues in those respects, and we
are glad of it. There never a and
there never will be anything gained
by pursuing the tactics ofathe ostrich
or the clam.
The next great war will be waged
in the waters and coasts and islands
of the Pacific Ocean, and if we are
mad enough to neglect or to cripple
our naval preparedness we will lose
ina war.-New York American.

JERSEY WOMAN EMBEZZLED TAX
FUNDS, JURY FINDS

Mrs. Helen Grant Marshall, for II
years assistant tax collector of the
town of Kearney, was convicted by a
jury in the Common Pleas Court be-
fore Judge Doherty, in Jersey City,
last week, of embezzling SIS, 900 of the
towns funds. Henry B. Caithness,
seventy-four years old, six years tax
collector of Kearney, who was in
dicted with Mrs. Marshall, was ac-
quilted.
Mrs. Marshall is thirty-fve years
old. Her husband left her a few years
ago and is said to be in the West. She
was appointed assistant tax collector
in 1908 and was serving under Cath
ness when they we're indicted for en-
bezzlement last fall.
Arthur B. Archibald, of Kearney,
summed up for Caithness. State Sena-
tor Alexander Simpson appeared for
Mrs. Marshall and Assistant Prosecu-
tor Vickers for the state.
Mrs. Marshall's bail of $4,000 was
continued. Senator Simpson said he
would appeal.-New York American.

FAMINE CONDITIONS IN CHINA
ARE CLEARING

The American Committee for China
Famine Fund, Thomas w. Lamont,
chairman, has announced that it has
received a cablegram from Picking
confirmed by the American Minister
to the effect that the recent generous
contributions by the Chinese people
in excess of estimates, together with
the fact that abundant rains have in
sured harvests where none was
thought possible, have fortunately
brought about a radical change in the
famine relief situation. This change
a that the pressing neeos have
now been met. The American Com
mittee feels, therefore, that the task
for which it was appointed has been
accomplished, and plans for demobili-
cation, including the gathering in of
monies now in the hands of the local
committees, will at once begin.
The American Committee, upon the
suggestion of the committee il China,
has been studying how best to develop
plans for the prevention or relief of
future famines in China, and such
funds as are received in excess of act
ual famine relief needs, or as may be
contributed to the China Famine Fund
by reason of activities now under way,
will be devoted to that purpose or such
other post-famine problems as the
committee may decide.
The Foreign Missionary Boards and
other permanent agencies which have
contributed so largely to the success
OF the campaign, have before them the
solution of serious post-famine prob
lens. In whatever work of this kind
they decide to undertake they will re-
ceive the hearty cooperation and sym
pathy of the American Committee. and
in any such work the committee be-
speaks for them the support of the
American people.
Mr.. Lamont, in giving out the state
ment, said that he felt that the value
OF the American effort toward relief
OF the famine in China could hardly be
overemphasized, both from the point
OF view of the relief of millions OF
starving peoples, and as an expression
Of the great sympathy of the United
States for a sister nation in trouble

and the churches which are CARRYING
