THE DEPOT COMMITTEE

A meeting Of representative eiti-
zens was called together by Acting
Mayor Earl Slipher Wednesday eve-
ming at the city hall to discuss a pos
sible location for a new depot. Many
locations were considered pro and coa
including subways at Agassiz on the
east and Sitgreaves street on the
west. Those present were unanimous
in their opposition to the closing OF

no proposition or even suggestion as
to their attitude in the matter.

aSOME WILD OATS AT
ORPHEUM NEXT FRIDAY

Having been passed by the board of
motion picture censors after great
deal of discussion, "Some Wild Oats, :
the motion picture that has probably
caused more comment than any other
film released in the last few years,
will be shown at Orpheum Friday,
February 22.
There will be special shows for wo-
men only and for men only. Chill
dren under 16 years of age will not
be admitted, following the request OF
the censorship board. There is
special reel for women cnly and a
special reel for men only, in addition
to the seven-reel feature.
"Some Wild Oats" unfolds the story
of two wasted lives, and shows the
consequences. The theme is said to
be handled without gloves and IN
plain, straightforward English.
Dealing with the subject of vice-dis-
ease, the picture is one that is edu-
cative and is produced in such
manner that there is left in the mind
of the spectators none of the bitter
ness Of most sex dramas.
The picture is startling and shows
the possible consequences of careless
ness. Because the subject is too deli
cate to permit its showing to a mixed
audience the matinee performance is
for women only, and the evening for
men only. !.
One great blow of the picture is
aimed at the "quack7 doctor and So
called s'medical Institutes" which prey
upon those unfortunates who have
reaped a whirlwind from the sowing
of their wild oats.

Send Harry Hibben One

Mrs. H. w. Brinton is apparently
the lady responsible for a unique plan
for raising money for the building
fund. Of the Christian in Flagstaff.
She has sent out miniature calico
aprons, in the pockets Of which are
typewriter slips which say:
"This little apron is sent to you,
And this is what we'd have you do:
Measure your waistline, inch by inch
And see that the tape-line doesn't
pinch.
For each small inch you measure
round,
Place a penny in the pocket found
And this money you so freely pay,
Will help the expenses to defray
Of the building fund Of the Christian
Church,
Flagstaff Arizona"
Some of these fellers, like some we
might mention, maybe now wish they
hadn't eaten so much.

Frank Linderman is known as the poet of
western Montana and authority on Indian lore
Two years ago he ran for Congress and was de-
feated. He has "a lot of staunch admirers
throughout the stateand the race between he
and Mr. Rankin would be pretty one, Rankin
having the advantage of lead in the start-off
as he has been known as candidate for the
place for several years and has laid quite a
foundation for his campaign. Two years ago
Mr.. Rankin was candidate for the position in
the Republican primary and was defeated by
Carl W. Riddick for the nomination.
Frank j. Edwards was formerly quite a
prominent figure in Montana politics but very
little has been heard from him since he made
the race for governor in 1916, being defeated
by Sam " Stewart. 1t has been the general i'm
