can troops today were ordered

Secretary Hughes after a
lengthy conference with President
Harding, issued orders for the
rrompt return to this country
of the American army of Occupa-
ton on the Rhine.
The force, which has been pa
trolling the Coblenz bridgehead,
on the Rhine, since the aI1nistiee,
now numbers about 1000 officers
and men.
The action of the President, as
commanGer-in-chief of the Army
and Navy, follows the passage by
the senate of Senator Reeds reso-
luton. expressing the view of the
upper house that the Rhine forces
should be withdrawn.
The American action follows
the refusal Of France to halt Its
Ruhr invasion and submit the rep
arations question to an interna-
tional commission Of business ex-
pert, as suggested by the United
States. A few days the United
States again made known to
France that it regarded the march
into the Ruhr with District disfa-
vor. =,
/, It is understood that orders will
go ON during the. day for army
transports to proceed at once to

The seventh annual meeting of the
Northern District Federation of Wo-

all who enjoyed the hospitality of the
Winslow club feel that it was time
to. be long remembered and enjoyed.
Delegates from Flagstaff who, in
addition to other Flagstaffians men
toned above, attended the convention
were: Mrs. c. 0. Lampland, Mrs. Lula

H. Schermann, Miss Minnie Lintz,
Miss Helen Lamb and Miss Clara
Wheeler. Mrs. Lampland was cores
ponding secretary of the northern
federation.
A meeting place for the next annual
conference was rot definitely decided
upon, but it is thought that Jerome
will receive this honor. Flagstaff,
Williams and Winslow have had the
past three meetings. The southern
part of the district seems deserving
and when the invitation is extended it
will no doubt be accepted.

/ have ever before heard discussed
4 upon this floor and / am sure you are
{all extremely fortunate today in being
able to listen to a talk relative to an
occasion that is SO deeply interesting
to everyone.
.tMy thoughts today are prompted
by recently reading a magazine edit
ed by noted writer by the name Of
Dorothy Dix and learning she was re-
sponsibie for the naming of Supai
Point. She passed through Arizona
about the time the water first began
to flow in the Colorado river and
while going down this treacherous
stream she stopped at a point near
Bright Angel trail. That evening
while inhaling her hot soup with the
rest of the Indians, the one next to
her jabbed her arm and this shot the
hot soup into one Of her eyes. This
didn't particularly please Dorothy,
but gave the Indian an inspiration,
and he said "Soup-eye," ard now we
have Supai Point.
eff you We're to scale the walls at
a point about four miles this side of
Diamond Creek, you would see an in
scription thereon which reads:
Arrived October Both. Leaving
for Flagstaff to spend Halloween
"And, by the way-this deminds me
and probably takes you all back 20
to 25 years-maybe some longer and
some not SO long-when the youthful
citizens of the country towns would
congregate together about IL or II
o'clock at night and proceed to gather
up wagons, buggies, hay rakes, now
ers and such-like and place them in
front of the doors of the merchants
of the town, and bring the dairyman's
COWS and tie them to the town pump
and place a few small pigs III the
hallway of the doctors office.
"And pick up bodily smallish out
buildings and place them in front Of
the First National bank. These
small buildings that / refer to remind
me very much Of the Santa. Fe depot.
.sNo doubt this will remind you all
of happy days that you have spent in
years past and in conclusion, would
like TO bring to your attention the ne
cessity Of putting more water into our
water mains, removing the Santa de-
pot either to Milton or Cliffs and get
ting behind the movement for a first"
class hotel.

rather broken and diversified. How

a pleasure to serve you and | want to

me to deliver this oration without in
