Is the Request of the Ministers Association of PrescOtt-Ex- tensive Advertising Campaign to Encourage Attendance.

That the churches of the city may be filled to overflowing at both regu- lar church services tomorrow, the Ministers Association of the city has put on an extensive advertising cam paign in the city this week through the newspapers and other methods, and although the heaviest snow ex- perlenced here in some time covers the earth today, it is believed that record crowds will be in attendance tomorrow at the different churches.
 The movement is purely local af- fair and the ultimate object is to secure a better average attendance at the churches of not only non-mem- bers, but members as well who are growing careless of their church. going custom. AS a means of get ting people who are physically unable to attend tomorrow, persons owning automobiles are asked to call by some such persons house at both preach ing hours tomorrow and carry them to the church of their choice. This will be greatly appreciated by the recipients of the favor and the auto mobile owners will receive a bless ing. Will you do it? By calling either w. V. Tompkins, c. M Hirst, Wm. Burdine or R. L. Blakely some person can be assigned to you
 The church attendance of Prescott
 is better this year than it has been at any time in the past, and by the help of the regular church-goers the attendance can be further increased among non-church attendants. If you are not member, go to one of the churches tomorrow morning and even ing and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ propounded-s two hours of helpful worship of the Divine Being and you will be better man or woman for having done so, and you will feel better all next week. Just try it tomorrow Just consider: if there were no church in Prescott for you to attend, you would move to town where they were Then wont you show your appreciation of the house of God by attending to- morrow?

ANOTHER FEBRUARY
 CELEBRITY

That Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, who was born in this month of the birth of celebrities, Feb. IA, was chiefly in- strumental in. the victory achieved by the women of America. no one can deny. That her memory deserves to be kept ever green, all those who fought with her will testify Her beautiful sermons at National w. C. T. U. conventions were of the highest type. Her lectures nthe American platform were equal to the best. How much she contributed to the world can never be told. Her career was one of life-giving, light dispensing and truth declaiming. It is matter of regret that she passed away just as women were clothed with the bat lot. It was Interesting to hear her describe her emotions when President Wilson called her from the far West during the war. She said she won dered what she had done to be thus called to Washington. After reach ing there, however, she found that he only wanted to place her at the head of the woman's department of Ma tional defense. How significantly she managed it could be seen by the even-tempered manner in which every thing ran. The women are honoring her now by raising memorials that will live as long as time
 A foundation in politics will be es- tablished in Bryn Mawr College fo1 Girls in memory of her and a founda- tion in preventive medicine in the Woman's Medical College of Pennsyl. vania, also. There is talk of securing her home as permanent memorial tc her to be used as resting place fol professional women, especially the professors of Bryn Mawr and the , medical college as both of these insti- tutions are in short distance of it.

HOUSE VETOES
 SENATE MEASURE
Making Robbery a Capital Of fense, by Vote of A to 41- Pay of Governor McRae's Secretary is Cut.

Little Rock, Feb. 1S.-By vote of A to fl the House today killed the Senate measure which would have made robbery capital offense, pun ishabe by death or life imprisonment The House also set March 1 as the date for consideration of the bill passed by the Senate yesterday over the governors veto which would per init the sale of cigarettes under li- .cense and repeal the present law pro- hibiting their sale in the state.
 Failing in their efforts to reduce the increase of salary for the secre- tary of the governor on Thursday af- ternoon, anti-administrationists re- newed the attack this afternoon, and were this time successful. The budget committee fixed the salary of the sec retary at $3,000 Senator Collins this afternoon offered an amendment to reduce it to $2,500, the present salary, and cited the special message read before the Senate Friday morning, in which the chief executive declared he had not requested in increase in salary. Senator Thompson made a short talk in behalf of the amend ment, in which he expressed himself as being in favor of an honorary sec retary. The roll was called on the adoption of the amendment, and it carried 16 to 7.
 Biennial appropriations for the maintenance of the Confederate Home State Hospital, Deaf Mute Institute and School for the Blind were intro duced.
 1 The State Senate this afternoon adopted a resolution expressing the thanks of the body to and commend ing the action of w. J. Meyers of liar rison, who this morning shot and probably fatally wounded Henry Starr, notorious Oklahoma bandit. The Senate several days ago passed bill which would have made robbery capital offense, but this bill today was defeated in the House.

The juvenile production at the grammar school last evening, "De- lightful Japan," was honored by the presence of packed auditorium re- gardless of the fact that the weather was extremely bad, and the streets were in equally unfavorable condi- ton. Too much credit cannot be awarded the talent used in the excel lent production, nor the talented abil- ity of those who with painstaking care coached the little tots to the successful achievement of last even ing. The playing was the subject of much enthusiastic applause and even though the crowd braved the incle- ment weather conditions to patronize the Japanese play, everyone left the house feeling that it was well worth the money and the efforts expended. The receipts amounted to nearly $90, which goes to the s. I. A.

GERMANY CAN
 AND MUST PAY
Is Britain's Answer-Premier Lloyd George Upheld in the House of COmmOns-Defends Indemnity Sum.

Commons today defeated the proposal hv Horatio Bottomley censuring the government's policy with regard to tbe treaty of Versailles. The vote was 181 to 40.
 London. Feb. 18-Mr. Lloyd George the prime minister, declared in the House of Commons today he stood by his pledge that Germany must pay to the limit of her capacity.
 The prime minister was discussing tbe German reparations question in answering Horatio Bottomley's ar raignment of the governments policy of alleged inaptitude with regard to forcing Germany to comply with the reparations demands, the provision for the trial of war criminals and other portions of the peace treaty.
 There was great difference, con- tinued the premier, between Ger many paying for the whole cost of the war, and paying to the limit of her capacity.
 "The whole point is as to the linn its of Germany's capacity to pay" he said,
 The allies, continued the premier, had taken the best advice available and had summoned the ablest men to be found, upon whose advice the pres ent demands had been made, and the allies were carrying out the peace terms to the utmost of their power. Germany, he pointed out, had deliv- cred bonds to the allies, but the value of these bonds depended upon the value of the German security at the present moment Raw material, ships, property of other sorts, and coal, also had been deliverd, added the premier, and the question was what was their value.

The propaganda used by the big fish
cries to the. effect that the privilege
might be abused should not cause
anybody any worry. We will not per-
nit the lake to become depleted Of
fish and will not make contracts with
the state beyond what we know will
keep the lake we'll stocked.
AT the present time there are
nearly 200 Indians engaged in the
fishing business at Red Lake, Redby,
Ponemah and Waskish. During 1920
approximately 59O,913 pounds of fish
were taken from the lake, which
brought $3O,98O.23. This in itself
means much to the Indians and is no
small industry"
The kinds of fish taken and the
number of pounds Of each may be
seen in the following report: White
fish, 54,7O4; pike, 416,095; pickerel,
22,534; suckers, 1855; carp, 1869;
