Prize WINNERS ATTENDING
NATIONAL CLUB CONGRESS

Two boys and two girls from Ari
zona are now in Chicago attending
the Second National Boys and Girls
Club Congress, the Congress closes
today.
The club work of the State is pro-
ject of the Agricultural Extension
Service of the University in cooper
alton with the U. S. Department of
Agriculture
Lavaun Peterson, of St. Johns,
Apache County, is winner in the
garment making, having captured the
contestants. Her achievement is a
story of plunky attention to detail
and a willingness to do more than
the required work. Some of the ex-
ercises were done over and over
again until she was satisfied with the
final product In addition she did a
lot of extra work which she sent
in to be judged at the University, ac>
cording to the rules sent to all club
members. OF course, Lavauns moth
er has share in the triumph because
she gave her daughter every encour
agement.
Stella Peterson is the Apache Coun-
ty Garden Club champion. She has
finished her fifth year of club work,
thus winning her All-Star medal. In
addition, she has won a State Cham
pionship in the garment making and
has herself conducted a club. This
year she grew a fine garden, out-do1ng
even her father in the quality and
abundance of her products.
Glen Peterson of Lakeside, Navajo
County, is the smiling mountain
Garden Club champion, who carried
off the state prize in that club. Glen
lives up in the top of the White
Mountains, where gardens grow to
perfection. Here carrots and other
vegetables attain sweetness that is
Matched only by the wonderful air
and scenery of the White Mountains.
1t cost Glen $18.12 to grow about one
tenth of an acre of vegetables, the
proceeds from which are valued at
$4,000, leaving net profit of $75.88
from this one-tenth of an acre.
The champions in these three clubs
have the same surname but each is
member of a different family.
Waldo Krieger of Glendale, Mari
copa County, is the State Pig Club
champion This is Waldo's second
year in the Pig Club. He had two
gifts in the contest this year which
cost him to buy and raise total of
$43.47. They are valued at $4,000,
leaving a net profit of $36.53.
The interesting thing about Waldo 5
record is that these pigs were grown
at a total cost of go cents per pound,
which is not bad record considering
the purpose for which they were
grown.
Arizona can we'll be proud of these
champions and their records. They
will represent the boys and girls in
a most creditable manner and will
bring back stories which will be an
inspiration to the club members an
other year.

ELKS REMEMBER DEPARTED BROTHERS
ANNUAL SERVICES MOST IMPRESSIVE
Hon. w. P. Geary Delivers Memorial Grafton to
Large Audience at the Washington School Audi
tOrium; Officers Assisted by Local Talent Conduct
Lodge of Sorrow

This was followed by ritual. The SER
vices ended with benediction by Re-.
w. l.. Martin.
In his memorable Grafton Hon. w.
P. Geary said in part:
"The Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks constitute American
ism; it is essentially a child of Amer
lea and is one of it's cherished off
springs 1t teaches sublimest senti-
ment of patriotism and solicitude for
those in distress. 1t teaches that
selfishness can be restrained.
"The fathers of the Elks organiza-
tion had no idea of the great order
that they We're founding. The lodge
began with 81 men and now has
100000 members. The Fathers built
better than they knew
From the first meeting the organ
ization prospered. 1t unites men of
all creeds. Here the Catholic, the
protestant, the Hebrew and the free
thinker are united in one order The
golden rule is the cornerstone of the
structure. Charity and brotherly love
are exemplified. A true Elk believes
that true religion consists in doing
justice. The order believes in eter-
nifty, not necessarily enthusiastically
but instinctively.
1.-TWO public days have been set
aside by the order for observance,
Memorial Day and Flag Day, in
which Elks pledge allegiance to the
flag of the United States, law and
order The first Sunday in Decem-
Der has been set aside for memorial
services, which was instituted as
result of the death of one of it's mem
bers Poetic beauty and sincerity
mark the services of this day, in
which the order pays honor to the
absent brothers"
Mr.. Geary eulogized the departed
brothers, saying that dead yet they
live; gone yet not forgotten. HE
called to mind the members who had
been taken during the past year ex-
tolling their virtues and lamenting
their departure.
"Civilization is a growth, contin-
ually dying and continually being
born, death of old and birth Of
young" Mr. Geary said in his elo-
quent manner. 'It is disloyalty to
forget the dead No chronicle need
attest brothers worth that we hon
or him. The fact that he possessed
kind heart causes us to remember
him. Good deed, recollections of their
lives cause us to remember them.
To-day we can do little except
place upon their graves a crucifx of
tears, an emerald forget-menot and
cluster of ivy To the Elk dead
who have answered the message Of
Israel, we can do nothing but dedi-
cate this day to them. Sleep blessed
spirit, holy soul, while stars shine;
sleep holy soul, life's dry dust Sc
cureth change"

With impressive, reverential and
imposing memorial services the Bene-
VIOLENT and Protective Order of Elks
paid respect at the Washington
school auditorium last Sunday after
noon to their departed brothers, who,
in the words which were so elo-
quently expressed by Hon. w. P.
Geary, past district deputy grand ex-
alted ruler, are gone but not forgot
ten. The beautiful ritualistic cere-
mony, which is celebrated each year
on the first Sunday of December, was
an inspiring tribute to the brothers
who have gone to the great beyond.
One attending the memorial services
instinctively feels that although
dead they still live
AS the ceremony began with the
Introductory march, members of the
order filed into the auditorium in a
procession, each wearing a forget
me-not, which is symbolical of the
organization After the members had
been seated, ritual by the officers of
the lodge was observed, followed by
the invocation, which was given by
Rev. w. l.. Martin, pastor of the
Christian church.
Mrs. H. B. Matthie sang a solo
which was eminently appropriate for
the occasion.
Following the solo there was OBJ
servance of ritual which was most
impressive. Flowers were distribut-
ed on the grave in memory of each
departed brother. The names of
sixty-six brothers were called and as
each was designated, flowers were
placed On the grave in his memory.
The stage on which the memorial
services took place was most beauti-
fully and appropriately decorated.
The altar and the four stations of the
order were arranged for the ceremo-
ny. In front of the altar was the
grave, which was beautifully decOrat-
ed with a white cross and fern lea
yes. Pedestaled ferns, placed at each
side of the platform added much to
the attractiveness of the decorations.
After the flowers were distributed
the High School Glee club sang "The
Vacant Chair Then followed ritual
in which the forget-me-not and the
ivy, symbols of the ceremony were
placed on the altar
A selection by the orchestra, direct
ed by Mr. Paul T. Liljedahl was the
next number of the program.
Hon. w. P. Geary, past district
grand exalted ruler of the order, gave
the oration The address was one of
the best speeches ever made at the
auditorium. Mr.. Geary spoke in an
eloquent manner of the memorial ser
vices. His ringing words uttered
with ease, sincerity and faultless de-
oJo dnnn1u inn
sed everyone who heard him.
The next number on the program
was a solo by Mr. Paul T. Liljedahl.

"Barcarof" by Ethel Tulley was en-
joyed by all. The main event of the

ing for Children" by Mrs. Ethel
Sweeney, being a former teacher OF
reading, Mrs. Sweeney handled her
subject in a mastery way, answer
ing the questions, What 1t is
Where to find it,, and How to use
it, with conclusion and finality. The
information of imaginative literature
must not be underrated and should
be on a level with the childs intel
lect, and not over his head. The
value of fiction in children's reading
must not be underestimated, moral
truths being taught in an entertain
ing way by we'll written books. The
danger of unsound literature was al
so presented unwholesome impress
sions of life being gathered by chill
dren from books of inferior quality.
A lively discussion followed the paper.

being opposed to school readers con-
tanning gruesome and Objectionable
stories. Following a solo and encore

pleasing style. Reports were given

tions to the State P-T-A, bulletin at

Cupid's Plans Go Astray
When Officers Interfere

Paths of lovers never run smooth,
much less those of yuothful elopers.
Harold Runway, who said he would
be 21 next March although he did not
look it, and Eunice Elkins. a little
girl of Is, both of Perea, New Mexico,
learned this sad fact Sunday morn
ing when Deputy Sheriff Walker took
them off Santa Fe train No. 8.
Deputy-Sheriff Walker received a
wire from the officers of Perea early
Sunday morning asking him to watch
the trains for the youthful couple.
He took them to Holbrook that day
and turned them over to Sheriff
Divelbess. New Mexico officers ar
rived there that evening on No. Z,
taking the elopers to their homes in
Perea on train No. 10.
Both Harold and Eunice told De-
puty-Sheriff Walker that the next
time they started to elope they would
get away with it. He replied that
they probably wouldn't start again.
The youthful pair were going to
Williams, Arizona, where they were
to be married.

REFEREE OF NORMAL GAME
CHANGES DECISION TO TIE

Coach Merwyn D. Porter of the high
school received a letter the first Of
the week from A. j. Mackey, Jr.
referee of the Normal-Winslow High
football game, which was played at
Flagstaff on Thanksgiving Day, stat
ing that the official score Of the con-
test is to 6, as published in the
last issue of the Mail
Mr. Mackey's letter reverSes his
original decision of II to in favor
of the Normal made at the end OF the
contest. This decision was not ac-
ceptable to Coach Porter, who took
issue with the referee for allowing a
touchdown, which is contrary to the
rules of the game
In the last few seconds Of the con-
test when the ball was only a short
distance from the Normal upright
three of the local lads tackled lum-
berjack as he came around the end
with the oval and downed him, the
pill slipping out of his hand and
bouncing on the ground. The re-
feree blew his whistle. Another one
of the lumberjacks snapped up the
ball and ran the entire length of the
field, depositing it behind the upright,
a play which is not allowed when the
man carrying the ball has been tack
led and stopped The game ending
the referee stated that the score was
II to 6 in favor of the Normal.
Mr.. Mackey's letter reversing his
original decision follows:
Flagstaff, Arizona, Dec. 1, 1928.
Mr.. NJ. D. Porter
Athletic Coach Winslowi High School
Winslow, Arizona.
My Dear Sir
| take this opportunity to state that
the official score of the football game
between Winslow High School and
Northern Arizona School should be
to 6.
Through an error on my part as
referee, a play was allowed which
should not have been. If this play
had been disallowed it would have
been not only improbable, but prac-
tically impossible for further scoring
on the part of your opponents as the
remaining time was only few sec
onds.
AS you know football rules are
rather complex and may be misin-
terpreted by an expert much less by
one who spends very little time on
them.
I have explained the contents Of
this letter to Mr. Stephenson and
have mailed him a copy of this let
ter, and will also hand a copy Of it
to the Coconino Sun.
Trusting this will be sufficient ex-
PLANTATION to you and your team and
assuring you that I take all the re-
sponsibility for this error.
Sincerely yours,
A. J. Mackey, Jr
