RED CROSS ANNUAL DRIVE
FOR MEMBERSHIP NOW ON

The name Of the local Red-Cross
chapter has been changed from Coco
nino County chapter to Flagstaff
chapter.
The members of the former Social
Service circle have given up the work
that they have been doing under that
name for the past three or four years
and are now doing the charity work
under the name of Civilian Relief Ex-
tension of the American Red Cross.
The annual roll call membership
drive is now on and workers assigned
to cover the entire town. Should any
one be overlooked by the solicitors
they can secure their membership
card by calling at the Arizona Cen
trail bank or at the Pollock Investment
company office.
The work of the society will be car
ried on the same as formerly, but
they will not make separate drive
for funds to carry on their work but
will depend upon funds raised by our
annual membership drive. Let every
one contribute as literally as they
possibly can to this splendid work.
An article will be found on page
five Of this issue of The Sun giving
some idea Of the work the American
Red Cross is doing.

ROTARIANS CELEBRATE
ARMISTICE DAY AND
INITIATE FOUR BABES

In honor Of Armistice day, also as
a sort of special relaxation due to the
initiation of four baby Rotarians,
Mondays Rotary meeting contained
rather more program than usual.
City School Superintendent John @.
Thomas and President Il. B. McMul-
len of the normal school were the
principal speakers, their themes in ac-
cordance with the day. Mr. Thomas
discussed the IA points of former
President Wilson, on which the armis-
tice was based. Concluding his elo-
quent and instructive talk, he declared
that the American nation has large
mission to perform if she is to con-
tinue an exponent of democracy, as
the European countries look to Amer
lea for guidance and moral support.
Mr.. McMullen in a scholarly talk
stressed our httleness in terms of the
universe, then, discussing the evolu
tion of earth's population from the
hunting" into and through the "agri-
culture -handicraft" Stage into the
present "machinofacture" age, said as
we have progressed it has brought us
to living closer together, and our
problem during the next few centuries
is how best to live together. In this
essential Rotary comes to help the
church and school. He concluded by
reading the final paragraph of the
Rotary Code of Ethics: Finally, be-
lieving in the universally of the
Golden Rule, all things whatsoever we
would that men should do unto you,
do We even so unto them, we contend
that society best holds together when
equal opportunity is accorded all men
in the natural resources of the
Planet"
Rev. Walter Martin, Winslow Ro-
tarian, said he'd often heard about the
live-wire Flagstaff Rotary club and
was glad to have an opportunity to
see them in action. He believes that
Rotary, which has clubs in all civiliz-
ed countries, will be wonderful help
toward better understanding be-
tween the nations of the world.
The baby Rotarians were: Rollin

NORMAL STUDENTS NAME
NEW ATHLETIC FIELD In
HONOR PREXY M'MULLEN

The student body of the Flagstaff
normal school in assembly last week
unanimously voted to name the new
athletic field in honor of President
L. B. McMullen.

ed on November % when Mentor Ste
venson's Lumberjacks clash with Den

school Jake Bracker, editor of The

is working out program for the ded-
ication exercises. Many Of the state
well-known educators and prominent

ious engagements, it is reported, may
not permit Governor Hunt to attend.
Mr.. McMullen, since coming to
Flagstaff, has worked continuously TO
upbuild the educational features of the
institution, and to beautify the
grounds. Three years ago the cam
pus resembled a barren tract, with
weeds, shrubbery and stones serving
only as scar to the town. This con-
dition has changed. Campus improve
ments in the last two years have
been numerous; namely, stone wall
across the front of the campus, con-
crete curbs, cement walks, broad
gravel drives, the filling and planting
of lawns, building of an artistic foun-
tain, the extension of the concrete
which enables them to be used during
the summer for social purposes, the

TAKES MORE NERVE TO
LIVE FOR THAN TO DIE
FOR ONES COUNTRY

The following is extracted from the
spirited and eloquent address deliver
ed at the flag-raising in Flagstaff on
Monday. It contains thoughts well
worth taking to heart.
1--WE have met here for the purpose
of raising the flag of our country,
and it may be of interest to some of
you to know this is the same
flag that flew over the senate build
ing of the United States on the day
that Arizona was admitted into the
union as a state.
'The Rotary club conceived the idea
of this occasion and has worked un.
ceasingly to bring about its success,
but we are to understand that this is
not merely the occasion of that pa
triotic organization, but it is rather
a time when the citizens of Flagstaff
should with renewed zeal, re-dedicate
themselves to the great and noble
principles that have made this coun-
try what it is today.
America lay veiled in the darkness
of the middle ages until mans inhu-
manity, superstition and intolerance
America lay radiant and inviting to
those oppressed in thought and con.
science. Civilization. was being ground
to death by the iron heel of oppres-
sion. Men of deep religious convic-
tions, honestly held, came to this
country to establish homes in which
freedom of conscience could be enjoy
ed 1t has always been a dark day in
civilizations history when men were
not permitted to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of their conscience.
The light of intelligence has pene-
trated too far into the recesses of ig-
and superstition to permit
denial to men at this time of a right
which led to the founding of this great
republic. A mans religion is his own
private affair, he answers for no soul
other than his own. But when it
comes to politics, we are agreed that
whatever they may be, they must be
and in conformity to those
principles upon which this nation was
founded.
This is, indeed, time for thanks
giving, and our profound thanks go
up to God, who in his omnipotence,
created and blessed these broad ex-
panses and gave them to US as our
home. We love this enchanted land
Of the purple sage, where a mans a
man with the opportunity to school
and educate himself in the great uni
versity of nature; we love our vast
desert stretches where man may be
alone with his God. When we behold

ALEX R. FERRELL OF DONEYI
PARK DIED In THE DEPOT
HERE LAST SUNDAY NIGHT

Alexander Richard Ferrell, we'll
known and respected resident of Do
ney Park, east of Flagstaff, died sud-
denly on Sunday night in the Santa
Fe depot here where he had been ta-
ken by his son, Milton +. Ferrell, who
intended taking him that night to
Phoenix for examination and possible
operation by DR.. E. Payne Palmer.
Deceased had been at Mercy hospi-
tai for little more than two weeks,
with bladder trouble.
Will Marlar was at the depot when
Milton arrived there with his father,
just little after eight o'clock, and
was helping assist him to the waiting
room, when the patient fell to his
knees. The son went out after as
sistance and his father died before he
got back, only a few minutes after
reaching the station. He had a hor-
ror Of becoming an invalid, having
been a strong, active man until just
recently, and had expressed a hope
that he might die rather than become
an invalid.
Mr.. Ferrell was born in Arkansas,
near Little Rock, On October 27, 1876,
thus being a little more than n years
old at the time of his death. He was
a remarkably well-preserved man for
that age. When he was a boy his
family went to Texas. Reaching man.
rood, he went to California where he
was in the oil business for 80 years,
then selling out ana fer six years
farming in imperial valley. Seven
years ago he came here, to be near
some of his sons.
Deceased married Miss Harriet
Tompkins in California as years ago.
She died 28 years ago.
One brother and sister, both in
California, and four sons and one
daughter survive. The latter are NJ.
T. Ferrell Of Doney Park; George w.
Ferrell of Long Beach, Calf; Carl
FerrelI of Sugar Pine, Calf; Walter
Ferrell of Brooklyn, n. Y, and Mrs.
Tom Moore of Oakland, Calf, One
child, boy, died several years ago.
The funeral was held yesterday af-
fernoon at o'clock from the Fed
Grated church and was attended by
many friends of the deceased.

The car belonged to the father of
the bride, S. H. Bray, owner of the

tells.
It was the statement of the young
wife, dictated by her on Saturday to
Court Reporter Charlie Jones, which
put the skids under Dollins, self
legged to be a movie star under three
years contract with the Universal
people.
The Sun last week told about the
arrest of the eloping pair and their
chauffeur, at the request of the Kan
sas City sheriff, and recounted the in
terview with the bride in which she
said she supposed she and her hus-
band, who had been secretly married
in Kansas City on October 20, were
being held on the technical charge of
stealing her fathers car, her fathers
motive, she believed, being to permit
him to catch up with them and get
better acquainted with his new SON
in-law.
Probably that was the motive her
father had. But when he arrived
here, the day after his brother, w. F.
Bray, Bakersfield, Calf, real estate
man, got here to help him investigate
conditions, he found things worse
n1uddled than he feared.
The bride at first stuck Loyalty by
her husband in jail here and whom
she had not seen since their arrest.

Hill HI. Lewis, was out with the horses
and the big French 75s aud caiSsons.
The services at the flagpole were
brief and impressive. Rev. FIR. C. Va
bre offered the invocation. The ded-
icatory address was made by Ameri-
can Legionnaire George H. Lewis, and
is printed elsewhere in this issue.
|. 3. Koch, president of the Grand
Canyon Boy Scout council, announced
that the late President Harding last
year offered special gold stamped rib
bon streamer trophies to the troops
that increased their membership by
25 per cent in one year. He fas-
tened to the color standard of the
council the trophy won by the coun-
Gil, which had increased membership
$50 per cent in the year, and to the
breast of Yale McFate, leader of
Troop 8, the trophy won by that troop.
The flag, that which flew over the
u. S. senate building the day Arizona
was admitted to statehood, was loaned
for the occasion by Bert A. Cameron
Of Flagstaff. The raising was by the
Boy Scouts, in whose behalf the en-
tire days program was arranged, both
to encourage in them and other young
folks reverence for the flag and the
day, and to raise the money for their
treasury.
At 1916 the Rotary luncheon was
held, the guests being those who had
come from out of town to assist in
some part of the program and several
local people who had taken an espec-

Almost every seat was filled, and
though the advance sale Of seats had
been fine, nearly $500 more was
taken in at the box office that
night. This make the total receipts
for the day nearly $700. There were
about TOO people in the theatre when
the curtain went up.
First came an overture by the Nor
NAL school orchestra, directed by Pro-
fessor C. v. Ridgely, the others be-
ing Miss Mildred Whetsel, L. B. Nc
Mullen, Miss Arliss Miller, Mrs. 7. O..
Bellwood, Mr.. Gonzales, Gene Bong

The curtain then rose on an effec-
tive tableau-a large American flag
waving gracefully in a breeze made by
a hidden electric fan, at either side
standing Boy Scout troop leaders Yale

an upper box rang out the song, "The

MAUSOLEUM
TRIBUTE OF
HIS WIDOW TO.
DR.. LOWELL

On November 18th was the seventh
anniversary of Dir. Lowell's death. He
has left to us the noble example of
a life of service to mans intellectual
development. All who had the rare
privilege of close mountaineering,
and particularly those more intimately
associated with him in the activities
of an intensely busy life, will always
carry with the mthe memories of his
loyal friendships and his whole-souled
devotion to everything he undertook,
whether it happened to be something
pertaining to scientific research or
to matters relating to the welfare of
the nation or the community in which
he lived. His life's work is a lasting
monument to himself.
1t will be of interest to DR.. Lowell's
many friends in all parts of the
world, who knew him personally, as
well as the host of readers and stu
dents of his written works, to learn
that a stately and beautiful mauso-
leum has been erected to his memory
by his devoted widow. The mauso-
leum was completely recently, and
all that is mortal of this distinguished
explorer of the heavens now lies in
its final resting place on the sunny
eastern slope of Mars Hill, Flagstaff,
near the great telescope with which he
so successfully carried on his studies
of the planets and other heavenly
bodies for nearly quarter of a cen
tury.
The design of the mausoleum is
wholly Mrs. LowelPs work and has
occupied her thoughts for many years.
The conception Of the architectural
form and the discriminating selection
of the material of the structure have
happily combined to make in every
way the memorial most appropriate
one. The massive circular walls of a
very fine grained gray granite, sur
rounded by eight monolithic columns
Of the same material, are crowned by
a hemispherical dome of an imported
variety of blue stained glass of un-
usual beauty. Quotations of passages
from his books MARS and It's Canals"
and ''The Evolution of Worlds" form
tablets cut in the enduring granite of
the walls near the columns on each
side of the entrance. 1t is fitting that
this difnified and beautiful memorial
to DIR. Lowell should be placed here
amidst the scenes he loved so we'll and
where he labored so fsuitfully for the
advancement of knowledge.

The erection Of the f1agpole, the
raising of the flag and the intense
interest manifested by all our people
proves Flagstaff's patriotism to be
the real article, and at last, Flagstaff
has a flagstaff in honor of its name
A base will be built later and tablet
inscribed with facts relating to the
early settlement here viii be placed
on the pole or base.
The parade formed at Emerson
school after 10 o'clock. A late train
prevented Winslow's band reaching
here in time to take place in the par
ade, but the band got here just as
the parade reached the flagpole.
Forming at the station, the boys
marched, playing, to the foot of the
flagpole.
The parade was several blocks long.
There were the Boy Scouts, carrying
an American flag at least so feet
long. Then came the Emerson school,
st. Anthony's school, Flagstaff high
school and normal school pupils. Or
ganizations that had a prominent part
in arranging the program for the day
followed, in cars, each car decorated
with the colors of the organization.
The Flagstaff Woman's club, with
brown and green, the American Le-
gion, with the national colors, the
Ellxs with purple and white, the Ro-
tary club with blue and gold. Many
not affiliated with any of these or
ganizations joined the parade, helping
to make it real community demon
stration.

NORMAL ADDS EACAR'S
FOOTBALL SCALP TO ITS
FAST GROWING BUNCH

Out of the northeast came a group
of young Galahads in search of that
Pigment of the imagination, a win
over the normal Lumberjacks. They
came in cars from Eagar, where Jee
Jarvis does most of the heavy work
during the winter months Of the year.
As in the olden days football game
is played on the day it is scheduled,
rain or shine, likewise did the fight
ing Lumberjacks subdue the Mormons
ON a field that resembled sea of
snow and mud by a score of 80 to O.
Normal adherents who witnessed
the struggle saw machine which up
to couple of weeks ago were totally
ignorant of the fundamental rudi-
nents of the game, whipped into a
competent aggregation of no mean
ability.
The Mormons were unable to show
any class against the locals. Their
line repeatedly went to pieces under
the powerful line plunging of Hechka-
thorne and Fillerup. Camp and Wick
ers circled the ends for consistent
gains. Normal's aerial attack was
held in allegiance Saturday and the
result was a game of old-fashioned
football. The locals line charging,
quick activities, the speed and geta-
way of the backs on a muddy field
and the strong tackling were beautiful
to behold, but the most interesting
phase was the superb running Of Lynn
Camp.
This young man not only carried
the ball in acceptable fashion, but his
assistance to his mates was fine. Once
he got away with the pill and made a
spectacular run for rs yards to a
touchdown. Camp is captain of his
teams and runs the club with speed
and judgment.

CONNECTION DEN WILL
BE OPENED WEDNESDAY

Richard Griffith has taken over the
former Confection Den and its fix
lures and with painters and carpen-
ters is busily remodeling and renovat-
ing, getting ready to open it on the
21st under the style, Griff's Chocolate
Shop.
Mr. Griffith was formerly manager
for Fred Harvey at Barstow. He was
with the Harvey system for six years
and is an experienced restaurant man.
He and his wife arrived here on the
8th of this month and made the deal
for the Den with T. E Pollock. He
plans serving light lunches and hot
drinks and will, of course, keep the
soda fountain in operation and sell
candy. He intends running an up-to-
date place, intimating that a Harvey
man fought to know how and that,
knowing how, he is foolish if he
doesn't.
BY the way, Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith
were married here in Flagstaff three
months ago. She was a Vernon,
Texas, girl. This being where they
started off being happiest, they deem
ed it fitting to return here and show
their appreciation to the town.

PHOENIX CAN'T STEAL THE
GRAND CANYON SO FILLS.
1T PLUMB FULL OF SNOW

Albuquerque chamber of commerce,
evidently in cahoots with the Phoe-
nix chamber of commerce, is playing
the usual game. Winter affords a
better chance than any other season
to pull unfair tactics against the
northern highway through Arizona
and route tourists over the longer one
south.
1t is easy to lie to tourists and tell
them this road is impossible because
of snow. It doesn't make any differ
ence whether there is any snow here
or not, or whether there has been any
or not. 1t is easy to say there is snow
here. The tourist doesn't know he's
been bamboozled until it's too late.
So, in this way, cars can be and are
diverted from the northern route and
its scenic beauties, including Grand
Canyon, and scared south where they
didn't want to go.
George G.. Bolton, acting superinten-
dent at Grand Canyon national park
this week sent the following wire to
the Albuquerque chamber of COM
merce:
Information to this office shows
that tourists are being routed by the
chamber Of commerce of Albuquerque
westward via Phoenix, Tucson and
other points omitting the Grand Can
yon from their plans and itinerary for
reason that we have foot and a half
of snow and other bad weather here
at present time. Please be so kind as
to correct this incorrect information
being disseminated as we have had
no snow at the Canyon thus far this
year. Roads are in good condition and
we have just closed the best months
