 *+*+ More Birthday Parties
 Little Miss Ann Yaeger gave her little first grade friends happy af- ternoon by celebrating a very impor- tant event, her seventh birthday, right in the school room. At two o'clock the table showed the real birthday treat - lovely cake with gleaming candles and with fruit and ice cream cones the affair was complete. A lit- tie play preceded the celebration.
 On Tuesday Miss Elizabeth San- ford was possessed with the happy idea of inviting few little friends in to enjoy with her the fact that nine important years had passed over her head. Of course these same friends were easily persuaded to remain for dinner and feast their eyes on the pretty birthday cake which in due time was cut ard shared by the fol- lowing little friends: Barbara Rees, Margaret Verkamp, Tom and Mary Delphine Pollock, Ann Yaeger and Tom and Mary Sanford.

SAvEGE MARAUDER IN WILDS

The fisher is, taking it all in all, said to be the most savage, swift and crafty of all the marauders of the wilderness. In nine cases out of ten perhaps even 99 out of hundred a fight between porcupine and a fisher has but one result: The fisher eats the porcupine. And the porcu- pine Is some defensive fighter. The fisher flips the victim over on his back. annexing as few spines as possi- ble in the act, and he has an unpro- tected throat and belly at the mercy of his fangs.
 The porcupine's quills. so deadly to other animals, have for the fisher com paratively few terrors. They do not poison or infiame his flesh, which seems to possess the faculty of soon casting them forth again through the skin.

Big Event of the Year

Big Event of the Year
 At last we are able to announce the coming of Alice Gentle and if realiza- tion equals even in small degree, our anticipation, we will be well repaid for our patient waiting. She will be here next Tuesday night, February IA. Long heralded Miss Gentle's ap- pearance has been and we are glad her late indisposition did not prevent her keeping her engagement. From the press notices we are able to ga. ther something of the ovation paid this wonderful singer over on the coast. We believe this is the biggest attraction for Flagstaff in many years. Several of our own Flagstaff people have had the pleasure of hear ing Miss Gentle sing and all of them declare that it will be the real treat we are looking forward to.

 Birthday Affairs
 The past week has held most fes- tive air for any number of young people. February is not only the pop ular month for Cupid but for birth days as well. National heroes have claimed part of the month as theirs but from the weeks calendar we find a number of claimants among our To- cal people.
 Miss Florence Cooper started the ball rolling last Saturday afternoon by celebrating in honor of her twelfth birthday.
 A group of school mates gathered at her home from two thirty till six, and are quite loud in their praise of the royal entertainment accorded. The following were guests: Wealtha Beard, Josephine Wilson, Ruth Mary Switzer, Mary Louise Womack, Jessie Kellam, Marguerite Black, Florence Allen, Minnie Hilkins, Miss Taber, Elmer Brewer, William Harrison, Horace Robinson, Winfield Beard, Her bert Finley, Weldon Brinton, Ran- dolph Robinson, John Metz and Cliff ford Jones.
 On Tuesday evening, Harvey Coop CT, finding out what success his sis ter's party had been, and incidentally because he too wished to celebrate his fourteenth birthday, invited an eager group out to his home.
 Those lucky to be counted among Harvey's friends were Florence Moy- CT, Lena Tarver, Irene Fredericks, Edith Foster, Elma Dickinson, Alber- ta Kinsey, Marcia Slipher, Clyde Johnson, Helen Runke, Miss Edna Dotson, Walter Runke, Wallace Took, Walter Benson, Mark Finley, Merwin Schwarz, Fred Nackard, Frank Harri-

UNKNOWN
By Bruce Barton

From the grave of the Unknown Soldier, the crowds melted away. The great men of the nations who had stood there bareheaded stepped back into their cars and were whirled back to town. The music of the bands grew faint then ceased.
 ous, reverent folks came and stopped and went on again, until, finally, only the guard remained. The day ended. Night came silently and threw over the grave the healing mantle of dark ness.
 Then strange thing happened.
 Three dim figures from nowhere gathered and stood uncovered beside the tomb. No word of greeting was passed between them; they seemed to know each other well. Slowly, one after another, they stopped and read the carved inscription. Then the old est spoke.
 "Things are improving a bit for us Unknowns," he said. 'I fought with Leonidas at Thermopylae. We fell side by side, we and the other two hundred and ninety-nine. Our bones were mingled with the dust and rocks. No one marked our resting place. Our names are forgotten; but we held the pass.
 "My mother wept when I failed to return," he continued. Might after night she waited at the window, until it was foolish to hope any longer. Then she, too, wanted to o1e. But the neighbors came in and cheered her. You have given a son to save your country they cried. The Per- sians are driven back and Greece is freed. He died; but he left us bet ter world
 "So my mother took courage and held her head high. It was fine to have given son to make the world a better world. -"
 The Unknown paused for a moment; his voice grew dull and hard.
 "The Romans swept over the Greece that I died for" he said. "The Bar barians swept over Rome. I some times wonder whether it was worth while to die at twenty-eight to sleep at Thermopylae, unknown.
 "I fought with Charles Martel at Tours," the second soldier said. "We turned back the Arab hosts; we saved Europe from Mohammedanism; we kept it Christian continent.
 " It is splendid,' they said to my mother, splendid to have sacrificed a son on the altar of peace and good will
 "That was twelve hundred years ago." the second soldier said. "And where is the peace that we died for Where is the faith? The good-will?''
 The third Unknown had stood with Wellington at Waterloo. It was a high enthusiasm that had carried him there-the vision of world free from tyranny and wrong. He fell and was buried in trench, under rude cross marked "Unknown."
 "We though it was to be the worlds last great battle," he said. "There would be no more wars, no more youthful lives snuffed out, no more mothers waiting and weeping at home
 But a century went by, and there came war beside which ours seemed a little thing. Our friend over whom the band played today was one of millions who gave their lives. Men have heaped honors on him such as we never had. Do the honors mean that the hearts of men have changed, wonder? They broke faith with us;

 Squash may be baked in the shell then scraped from the shell and mashed with butter, salt and pepper for sea soning. This is one of the vegetables which requires butter in large Quan titles for seasoning.

A ueTnlte daCe haS not yet been set but will be soon.
 A stranger happening around the dining hall of the Normal during the noon hour would be somewhat impress sed by the number of students. If the enrolment continues to increase as 1t has for the past year there is no doubt that the school will have to be enlarged in a few more years. Be- sides those who eat at the dining hall large number of Flagstaff people are enrolled.
 Miss Dewey is supervising play to be given on the 17th of this month. It will be on the order of a pageant and large number of the Normal and high school students will take part.
 Miss Dewey's plays before Christ mas were very successful and pleas ing to their audiences. This is ex- pected to be one of the best given so far this year.
 Miss Lillian Frost of Douglas, who has been attending the Normal for the last two quarters returned We'd nesday to Douglas to accept posi- tion. Miss Frost was one of the Nor malls most well thougt of students and will be missed by all the students and many departments of the school. Miss Frost is an accomplished pianist and played the violin in the school orchestra and the schools jazz" band. She was also member of the Pine staff. Miss Frost came to attend the Normal during the min- ing depression which hit Douglas es- pecially hard. Now that the Doug las smelters are resuming operations she has returned to accept one of the several offers she has for a position. Miss Viola Lucas who has been talk ing the teachers training course at the Normal will leave soon to accept a position at Holbrook. Miss Lucas needed only one or two hours of work to finish her teachers course this quar- ter. Because of practically having her required amount of credit and her good records she will be allowed to teach for the rest of this year and fin ish her course this summer. Miss Lu- cas- will be missed at the Normal, but her friends are glad to have her have the opportunity of going out into the field of teaching.
 Miss Nellie Maxwell has been con- fised to her room with a severe case of la grippe. Miss Maxwell was very ill for several days but now that she is better it is hoped that she will soon be back in her classes with all her pep and energy.
 Is there any chance of the most inn portant basket ball game of the sea- son being played or has it been ab- solutely postponed, dropped, quit and forgotten because of cold feet on both sides. After the wild challenge the girls made and the pertinent accep- tance of the faculty it does not seem that one side alone could call it off MT. McMullen has had to go on some trip every time a game was scheduled and the faculty has always called off the games, but it does seem that if the girls were very anxious and did little urging that it might still be played. The present generation may be light on the pep but if there is any left in all the varying generations of the faculty we would like to see it.
 Come on girls and faculty, show a | little speed and give us a game.

The three dim figures disappeared. The moon stood guard above the sil- ent grave. In the East the first rays of the morning crept into the sky. They reached out vaguely, hesita- tingly, touching the city of Washing ton where men were to gather that day to speak of peace - touching the inscription which nation had cut in the stone above the body of its Un- known Soldier.
 A solemn inscription; nations promise that he who lies there dead shall not have died in vain.
 The world has made that promise before; all of its Unknown Dead have died in that faith. And the promise has died with them.
 Will it die again? That is the ques- tion for you and me to ask ourselves as we stand with our backs to Armis- tice Day and our faces turned toward Christmas.
 We told him when he marched away that he was fighting a war to end all wars. He fell, believing; and we have buried him and carved an inscription over his tomb.
 But the real inscription will not be written on any stone; it will stand in the dictionaries of the future. Only by writing it thus can the world keep faith with the long sad procession of it's unknown heroes whom it has lied to and cheated and fooled.
 This will be the inscription.

Prison Inmates
Will Organize
Football Team

ATLANTA, Aug. 2S.-College ath-
1etes are not the only ones whose
thoughts are turning to the football
field. The inmates OF the Atlanta
federal penitentiary, after finishing a
successful baseball season, already
have taken up the grind that is neces-
sary to team work on the gridiron, and
have sent out a challenge for games
with fast local elevens.
I'VE are in the field this year with
a high-class organization of football
players consisting Of ex-college stars
and we would like to arrange games
with some good semi professional az
gresations about the CITY," says the
fall announcement.
For any OF the 1000 or more men al
the prison to make the team" de-
mands great effort as the champion
ship baseball nine has been allowed
at times to play on fields beyond the
grim walls surrounding the grounds OF
the institution, and the football stars
are hoping they may get the same
treatment.

YANKEE FISHERMEN
PREPARE FOR RACES
Five Schconers Seek Honor Of Represent
Ing America in Regatta Against
Canadians.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. 2S.-Five
fishing schooners are seeking the honor
Of representing Yankee fishermen in the
race for the International Fisherman's
Trophy late in October. The elimination
races will be sailed October IL, Is and IA
off Eastern Point.
The vessels which will fight it out for
the responsibility of trying to regain the
trophy won last year by the Halifax fish
erman Bluenose are expected to be May
flower, Elizabeth Howard, Yankee, Henry
Ford and L. A. Dunton.
Puritan, the pride of Gloucester, on
which many deep-sea fisherman pinned
his faith in the great race this fall, lies
piled up on the treacherous shore of
Sable Island. Along the water front the
sea dogs say that the reason for Puritan's
wreck last winter was that she developed
speed far greater than those on board
realized and fetched up on Sable Island
le&Ng before she was supposed to be
near 1t.
Now Gloucester folk are turning to
Henry Ford, which ran aground on Es-
sex Beach when she was being launched
in April and was seriously damaged. She
was in port recently with a large cargo
of salt cod and showed no structural de-
feet as a result of her early mishap. But
the fisherfolk wish that Henry Ford were
a little longer and openly admit that the
other Gloucester entrant, Elizabeth How
ard, is too heavy.
The recent races of the New York
Yacht Club off MarbIehead attracted
great interest among Gloucester fisher
men who attended in large numbers to
get pointers for their races two months
hence.
