ARIZ. AUTO. C. CHOOSES
 ssWONDERLAN TOPICS''

Wonderland Topics" will be the name of the official publ1- cation of the Automobile Club of Arizona, it was made known today in connection with the announcement of prize winners in the clubs name contest, that has attracted statewide inter est during the past several weeks.
 The first prize consisting of S1O cash and a SIP member ship in the club goes to Ana lena Anderson of Orangewood, near Phoenix, Arizona. The second prize consisting of SIP membership was awarded to Virginia M. Lockett, superin- tendent of>schools of Coconino county, her suggestion "Trall News" being considered by the contest judges as second best among the 437 sent in.
 A large number of other clever suggestions were receiv- ed and the judges spent consid- erable time in weighing their relative merits. Auto Dis patches" and "Auto-thoughts'' were sent in by a prominent dentist who felt disposed to comment "How bewildered we are when we search our dome, For words to express ourselves and find none at home"
 Several of the suggestions were accompanied with pen and ink designs, two especially clever ones being submitted by J. F. Alkire of Phoenix. ''The Blazed Trail" and "The Sun shine Way" were the suggest ions offered, and though they were not considered as the best the designs are of such clever nature that certain features of them will be borrowed in mak- ing up an artistic heading for Wonderland Topics.

Outstanding in every respect among the activities of Ameri- can Red Cross is it's service to disabled Veterans of the World
 War which in the last fiscal year resulted in 3,253, 1000 in stances of assistance rendered these men or their families. This statement was made in communication from National Headquarters received recently by George Filmer, Manager of the Pacific Division at the Red Cross offices in San Francisco.
 Reviewing this foremost ac- tivity, as revealed in the forth coming annual report of the so- clety, the statement said that the work for veterans now in- wolves an annual expenditure of $1O, 100000 by the national or ganization and the nationwide chain of Red Cross Chapters.
 In explaining the scope of the service, the Red Cross points out that the annual cost of it exceeds by $4,- 100000 the aggregate receipts of the last Red Cross Roll Call.

NEW SUPERVISOR FOR
 APACHE NATL. FOREST

The Albuquerque office of the U. s. Forest Service amour ces the promotion of J. H. Sizer of Roosevelt, Arizona to Forest Supervisor of the. Apache Ma tional Forest with headquarters at Springerville, Arizona. MT. Sizer is not new either to the Service or to the-Apache For est, on which he was at one time ranger and later deputy supervisor. His long exper- fence in the Forest Service, where for the past ten years he has been closely in touch with the stock industry of Arizona. makes him especially qualified to handle the Apache Forest. This forest, which lies in the White Mountains of Arizona, has large timber that, however, because of distance from the railroad, are now in accessible and very little timber is cut. It, however, has well developed stock industry, sup porting as it does, 5000 cattle and 10000 sheep. MT. Sizer is expected to arrive at Spring erville early in December to take over the Forest.
 R. J. Selkirk will leave the For est Service at the end of the year and settle in the Salt Riv- CT Valley where he has acquir- ed some farm interests.

H. s. TEAMS PLAN LIVELY
 BASKET BALL SEASON

: The season just opening gives promise of being by far the most lively in the annals of Will Hams basket ball history. The first game of the season will be played at the school gymnasium tonight (Friday) between the Eboys team of the High School and a team from town. Today , the girls team plays at Flag staff.
 Prof. Britt, the new athletic director has kept both school teams at hard practice for the past two months and is well pleased with the showing they make. He hopes to see both teams win the larger portion of the games they play this season.
 MT. Britt trained Winslow's. victorious team last year. Will ] Hams is fortunate in securing so able an athletic instructor.
 Athletics deserve very important place in the school curriculum. It is doubtful if there is a single study in the
 
 much toward preparing the students for holding their own out in the world in later years, as does basket ball and other athletic games. First of all the athletic games build up the physical body, and without a healthy and strong body any individual is severely handi- capped. But there is a mental training in these games which is no less important. The play CT is trained to think on his feet and that under stress as again in the industrial and bus mess world. The element of fair play is another important feature. The boy who is train ed to play fair when on the basketball court, will play fair when he gets out in the world.
 However, basket ball like any other type of training must be financed. For that reason tickets have been printed and the school pupils are now can wasting the town in an effort to sell enough of these to finance the teams. Season. tickets that are good for eight games, are being offered for S2 each to adults and for $1.5O each to students. It will be necessary to sell over a hundred of each in order to finance the teams. ] The responce so far has been very encouraging.

ODD FELLOWS SHOOT UP
 DESERT-BUNN SUFFER.

had one of the biggest and best both at the Hunt and :t the Feed that followed on w. 1nes- day night. First Prize the hunt, was taken by P. c. Harry McDougall. This was . fine gold ring with the three links engraved thereon. The contest for second place resulted in a tie between Geo. Harris and Chas. Whitfield. This was de- cided by a little girl drawing the names out of a hat with a lot of blanks, and Geo. Harris was the lucky man.
 First prize at the table was closely contested for, the first honors falling about even be- tween our visiting brother from Flagstaff, Bro. Foster, and Bro- J. H. Hudson.
 We were very glad to vel come the several visiting broth CTS from our neighbor city of Flagstaff and invite them to a return trip whenever they can make it convenient, but on short notice we will not promise big rabbit feed.
 Last but not least in appre- citation was the Consolation prize which went to Bro. Nc Tavish. We will not tell how many rabbits he did not bring in, but it was a shame the way the poor fellow was, tortured He was compelled to walk part of the way home after the hunt and at the hall where the ladies had prepared a fine lunch for the hungry hunters on their re- turn, Nc. was compelled to stand while eating his lunch which was none too much for hungry and disappointed man. On top of this he. was told that it fell to his lot to skin and pre- pare the bunnies for the cook. To the credit of Nc. he rolled up his sleeves, got down on his knees, and the way the fur did fly was not slow. Nor must we forget the booby prize-a re- bounding toy rabbit that would spring back to it's feet every time it was knocked over, and toy gun to go with 1t. Nc. says the wild bunnfes acted ex-' actly like this one. He would shoot them and they would fall over. but instead of staying dead like those the other boys shot, they would get up again and run away.
 Twenty hunters bold and brave went out on. the hunt Not all of the scores were turn ed in; but Harry McDougalT was: high man with 43 Fa abbits and Geo. Harris and Chas. Whitfield ranked next with 25 each. 25O. rabbits were killed, in all.
 They say that Bro. Hudson got rather peeved at being given only fifth place and shot a big round hole in the back of his car and still bigger one in the top, just to remember the hunt by. There is a rumor al SO that on the return. our N. G. such speed that he collided with a Mexican wagon loaded with women and child -en. and paid the fare of the wagon passengers to town on. he railway. $.
 The rabbits were cooked by Bro. Mitchell with his famous Pressure Cookers, about 40 lbs, being cooked at one time with hree cookers, and judging by he way they disappeared they were enjoyed by all. About 75 people took part in the eats.
 There were some Odd Eel ows (and they must feel very 'dd) who were not in attend lnce, and there is just one way or them to square themselves, md they may learn of this means the next time they at, end Lodge.

They Love Work-When Far Far Away

Several samples of the army of chronically unemployed wis ited the News office this week. All professed to be printers, and Union men. One actually displayed a Union Pass. It hap pens that the editor of the News has been needing a printer all the week-and does yet. Each of the men protesting to be printers declared himself anx- ious to work. Annannias was not in it, when these several printers got started to explain ing why the work offered could not be undertaken just then. One thing all agreed upon even small coin would be well come. They all loved work when far far away.
 The U. s. Department of La Dor would perform a great serv- ice if it would determine just how many of our monster army of unemployed, are actually willing to work. If there were. only some way of marking those who actually want work, 1t would save employers a deal of time and trouble.

Mrs. Nettic Pngston. Maria Street
Home entered by man in autumn OF
1910. He told her he would kill her
as he had killed other white wom-
en- if she screamed.
The items tend to corroborate
Mays assertion that he is innocent
OF the crime attributed to him. Ii
the unknown criminal said he had
killed Mrs. Bcrtic Lindsey. as is
quoted, every effort should be made
to have that TACT established legally,
