could not bear to see the tree cast
out at once. Tomorrow Arthur Jr.,
will take it outside and plant it in
the snow, tying bread and suet on
it for the birds which seek shelter
in tho little fir tree.
We hear much criticism now days
about cutting the little trees for our
Christmas feats. 1T may sound log
ical to the stern mind, but what is
there in all this wide world that
gives greater Christmas joy and thrill
then the sight of sparkling Christ
mas tree. Gorgeous or simple as it
may be, it delivers it's message with :
out words.
In humble home once saw pine
tree branch decorated with bits of
colored paper, a popcorn ball and one
apple. Yet the childish eyes cleaned
with delight as l entered to look AZ
their tree
So say with the children let us
have tree this year and every yea,
When the present supply is exhaust
ed and the nursery men cannot sup
ply us, we will do the next best
thing, just as we do when we lose
tooth a leg, or an arm, get an arti'
lcal one Then the little boy Or girl
will not have to carry his beloved
tree to the ash heap in the alley or
to the brush heap behind the barn
The artificial tree could be folded uI
and laid away in the Christmas box
with a Good bye little tree you can
sleep whole year like an enchanted
princess.

UNION SERVICES A r STATE DEMOCRATIC
CHRISTIAN CHURCH PARTY TO MAINTAIN
THANKSGIVING DAYLIVE ORGANIZATION

The state democratic party council
went on record last week as being
heartily in favor of maintaining
permanent organization to function in
the interests of the democratic party
in the state during the next two years
and passed resolutions in favor of the
appointement of secretary and
committee to carry on the work and
raise the necessary finances.
The meeting of the council was
held in the house chamber in the CAPT.
tol at the call of the state central
committee and was largely attended
by members from every county in the
state.
During the meeting it was shown
that the custom in the past had al
lowed the party organization in the
state to lie dormant between elections
and that when the. incoming party Of
ficers, chosen after the primary cleo
tions, came into office it was neces-
sary for them to build and perfect an
organization during the stress of an
election period. Party leaders through
out the state were unanimous that
it was necessary to maintain per-
manent working organization between
elections to keep the party effective.
On motion OF Senator H. A. Davis
the council adopted resolution that
the executive committee to author
lied to make such arrangements as
may be necessary to maintain a per-
manent organization. To simplify the
operation of the executive committee
another resolution was adopted en-
powering the chair to appoint a COM
mittee of at least five to serve in
conjunction with the president, vice
president and secretary of the state
central committee for the purpose of
raising funds to carry on the work
of the permanent organization and to
make up the deficit of the recent cam
paign.
Resolutions expressing the appre-
citation of the party council for work
done in the past campaign by the
women's organizations, the press,
state central and county committees
were also adopted.

Matt Fowler Almost
Drowned In Bath Tub

Matt Fowler, popular young clerk
at the Central Drug company store,
experienced a close call Wednesday
morning while taking bath. Fumes
from a gas heater in the bath room
overcame him, and he fell unconscl-
GUS into the partly filled bath tub.
AS he fell he cut severe cash In
his forehead, and fell in such posi-
tion that his face was partly under
water. The gurgling of the water as
he breathed and choked was heard by
his landlady, Mrs. H. A. Coble of
North Kinsley avenue, who Immediate
ly broke in the bathroom door and
summoned physician.
A moment longer and young Fowler
would have breathed his last, but ow-
ing to his quick rescue no disasterous
results will follow, and it is expect
ed that he will be on the job again
within a few days.

The ''See Arizona First
Movement Goes Over Big

Results of the "See Arizona First
movement were particularly note
worthy this summer. More Arizonans
spent their vacations in the state than
ever before, and practically all sum-
mer resorts showed a material in
crease in patronage. That actual ben
efits were not confined to the north
ern part of the state, where Arizona
tourists largely made up for lessened
transcontinental travel, is shown by
the fact that savings deposits in south
ern cities were maintained during the
summer at higher figures than ever
before.

VERNNENT
AND STATE MEN
IN FIGHT OVER
KA|B.AB deer

The situation in Coconino county
over the disposal of deer in the Kaibab
forest north of Grand Canyon seems
to be growing critical State and
county officers, game associations and
citizens generally are opposing the
opening of the reserve to hunting, the
method of thinning the deer from the
over-crowded range sponsored by the
government. State officers are threat
ening to arrest any one caught with
out state license, and the state is
refusing to issue licenses.
Acting on direct authority from
Governor Hunt, Sheriff Campbell and
Deputy Sheriff and Game Warden
Jack Fuss left Flagstaff Sunday noon
for the Kaibab forest for the purpose
of arresting any one with deer in his
possession. They are deputizing the
necessary number of men to patrol
the border of the game preserve.
Frank Harrison, county attorney of
COconino county, claims these officers
have authority to go into the game
preserve itself and make arrests, but
under present orders the officers will
confine themselves to the border.
The order for the hunting came
from District Forester Rutledge at
Kanab, Utah. 1t is not known wheth-
er he is acting on direct orders from
the department of agriculture, or
whether he is assuming broad juris-
diction.
The Kaibab deer drive across the
Grand Canyon of the Colorado river
ranking as one of the most stupend-
Gus herding tasks in western range
history-was to have been undertaken
December /, by so experienced cow
boys and rs Navajo Indians.
George Mccormick, veteran Coco
nino county cattleman, has the states
contract to deliver between 5000 and
5000 deer across the great chasm at
humanitarian move to save the ami
mails from starvation in the over
stocked Kaibab forest More than 30,-
900 deer, it is estimated, now roam
the Kaibab lands.
Preparations for the task have been
completed The work of herding the
deer across the canyon is expected to
require from 10 days to two weeks.
Upon their delivery to the south rim
of the canyon the deer will be dis
tributed to various other Arizona
forests.

Students And Teachers
Get One Bath a Week

The Flagstaff city council Monday
night resolved to take all means pos
sible, through newspapers, circulars
and by personal notice to water users,
to get the fullest possible co-opera-
ton of everyone in the conservation
of water.
The situation is reported serious.
The big fire there the other night used
100000 gallons of the dwindling sup
ply Students and teachers at the
Normal school have been restricted
to one bath a week. The railroad
company has voluntarily cut its use
of water to an average of $4,000 gal
Ions a day, less than a tenth of the
amount it ordinarily uses. Only west
bound locomotives are watered there
and the supply for Grand Canyon has
been cut to an occasional tank car.
The sawmiIls are getting their water
elsewhere.

WinslOw Alumni Plays
Normal On Turkey Day

The Thanksgiving day football game
which was to have been played in
Winslow between Winslow and North
ern Arizona Normal, has been trans
ferred to McMullen Field, Flagstaff.
Parents of few of the younger and
smaller Winslow boys objected to
them going up against the older and
heavier normal boys, so it was found
necessary to substitute three gradu-
ates of Winslow high for the game.
On that account the Normal team OBJ
jected to playing the game on other
than their own grounds. Quite num-

/ MOTHERS CLUB OF
WINSLOW TO MAKE
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

The Mothers club of the Washing
ton school will make an intensive
drive for new members beginning
Monday and lasting all of next week.
The effort on the part of the local
club is in line with work of the state
association to broaden the scope and
influence of the Mothers club and
Parent Teacher association. Mrs
Homer Vaughn, president of the
Mothers club will have charge of the
campaign, and will be assisted by
committee of eight or ten energetic
women whose names have not yet
been announced.
Last year the club operated with
between go and Is members, but it is
expected that the campaign this year
will result in the membership being
at least doubled, and it is hoped that
more than this can be accomplished.
The state association is offering, as
an incentive to rivalry in the matter
of enlarging the membership of local
clubs, three prizes, as follows: First,
set of books to the club that rea-
Lies 100 per cent membership, that
is, every father, mother and teacher
member; second, a picture to the
school whose club makes the largest
per cent in increase in it's member
ship; third, picture to the school
which has the largest membership.
The high goal that Mothers clubs
and Parent-Teacher associations seek
to achieve is definitely set by dozen
points of excellency, ten of which may
be chosen by the local clubs for full
fillment. The years work is guided
by and based upon the points of eX-
cellency, which are as follows:
Point 1. Association to double mem
| bership, one-fourth membership to be
| fathers.
Point 2. Association to hold one
evening meeting for fathers; to enter
tain teachers at one special meeting;
founders day to be celebrated.
Point 3. Four of the state programs
to be used before February 2S.
| Point 4. Association to do work in
at least four departments such as
child hygiene, home economics, Amer
icanization, thrift, better films and re-
creations.
Point 5. One practical piece of work
accomplished during the year, either
| hot lunch, milk at noon, drinking ia
cilltles, library, pictures or playground
equipment.
Point 6. Association to conduct a
parliamentary drill.
| Point T. One-fourth membership to
! subscribe to Child Welfare magazine.
One-half membership to visit schools
| by January l.
Point s. Association to meet state
| financial obligations
Point 9. Fifteen news items pub
| lished
Point 10. Association (outside of
Winslow) to send at least one dele
gate to the state conference at Wins
| low.
Point H. To sponsor Boy Scouts or
girls organizations.
Point IL. To establish and admin
lister scholarship fund for worthy
high school students.
Three meetings of the Mothers club
have been held in Winslow the be-
ginning of the school year. The next
regular meeting will be held on Tues
day, December 2.
