 CROSS REVIEWS ACTIVITY

The Red Cross, represent ed by Miss DeGomez, is to put in a months active work in Hoibrook. Always first in their thought is the problem of the eX-service man, and hardly less important is the health of the school child.
 The Pacific branch of the Red Cross, acting on the in- vitation of MT. Brannigan sent Miss DeGomez, and is here assuming the responsi- bility for her salary while here, and the local branch are to pay her expenses. School inspection is the most important work that will be undertaken. This will con- sist principally of weighing and measuring the children and physical examination fo, defective teeth, enlarged tonsils and eye strain. EX. animation of the heart anC lungs of the children above

Work is being rushed on the north end of the new Scorse building to enable the Rees Cafe to be finished. This will materially relieve the congestion in the other restaurants in town. Roy Dougham, the driller on the Adamana well, is in Jerome this week working on repairs for the rig. He will return immediately, and and the finishing of this well from which we all hope so much, will probably only take a short time. R.S. Teeple has been laid up with a very bad cold this week.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
 FOR HOLBROOK

We have learned from an authoritative source that a charter for a First National Bank has been applied for, and on considering the ap- plicants, there is no doubt but that said charter will be granted. It is, perhaps pre- mature to make announce ments as to the tentative directorate, but some of the representative citizens of the town are slated for the positions. Judge D.J. Thom- as is one of the active man. agement, and under his management, the new insti- tuition will undoubtedly oc- cupy a large place in our business life.

PROHIBITION
HOW LONG, OH LORD, HOW LONG?

Without entering into per- sonalities, it seems that the time is now ripe to ask how much longer we are to b e saddled with this ludicrous law? You parents know that your children (and the word children is used advis- edly) are, in a spirit of brav- ado, poisoning themselves with the illicit products of an ignorant mans galvanis- ed iron kettle.
 Let US bs frank and face the question without equi- vocation. Under a proper law, the child would have no opportunity of indulging in this hell's broth. As mat ters rest now, it is consider ed rather smart to be able to blow an alcoholic breath in the face of your chum. For Gods sake, are we so dominated by the long hair ed men and the short haired women of this country that we have lost our initiative?
 If, as two years h a V e shown, prohibition does not prohibit, let's ask for a new law under which the young manhood and young woman hood of this fair land a r e shut off from destruction. It can be done, in other parts of the world it is being done and if we, in this Unit ed States of America cannot find some solution of this ever growing problem. then we must prepare to give up our present position of world control.

SNOWFLAKE TO IN-
 POUND FLOOD WATERS

A project which has been discussed and rediscuSsed by residentsof Snowflake during the past ten of twelve years is now about to be brought tO consumation. This is the damming of Showlow Creek. just below Shones Crossing. This dam will impound all the winter and spring flood waters of the creek and give to the west siders a water supply for their irrigable lands, of which there is about 2000 acres. Dismiss the idea that Snowhakers take ten years to complete a project. This work has been held up by municipalities that have attempted to stop the work as interfering with the irri- gation plans of their com munities. After years of waiting, the Snowflake crowd finally got a judicial ruling that enables them to carry out the work, and we may be sure that no time will be lost from now until comple- ton.

AWAIT u. S. REPLY
TO WAR DEBT NOTE
Believe Balfour Letter Trial to Ascer.
tain Sentiment Of American
Government.

Paris. Aug. "A reply of the
American government to the note OF
the Earl OF Balfour acting British
foreign secretary, concerning allied
war debts, Is anxiously awaited in
reparations commission circles, where
1t Is said that the British communi-
cation on cancellation Of interallied
debts will not have the effect Of pre-
venting a Franco-British reparation
settlement.
Information Is said to have
reached reparations headquarters
from an authoritative source that
Lord Balfours note was trial bal
loon sent up for the purpose of plac.
ing responsibility for a solution o.
the debts question directly at the
door of the United States"
IL the balloon burst through a re-
fusal OF the United States to depart
from its already established policy,
the reparations experts have been
informed that Great Britain will pro-
ceed to a general discussion at the
coming London meeting of the French
debts, regardless of the American
policy.
Little hope is entertained among
the reparations experts that the
United States will change It's attitude
toward its European debtors, but the
point is emphasized that Lord Bal
four's exposition clears the atmos-
phere of all doubt as to who holds
the key to the whole problem. 1t is
felt that the United States is bound
to make some answer, even If indef'
mite in character.
