ROTARIANS TOLD ABOUT
NEEDS OF ORPHANS OF
WORLD WAR VETERANS.

Some extra listenable vocal duettry
by Miss Selma Aas and Mrs Lorna
Jessup aroused the usually apatfetic
Rotarians into -blistering APP
plause at their meeting Tuesday Miss
Elsa Myers accompanied On the piano.
Fred S. Rreen was chairman fer the
dent M G. F'ronske had fined few,
bad announced standing committees
for the year and chairmen for the
next few meetings and had started
the cigars around.
Latter were sent by l. B. Koch, alb
sent in Los Angeles, with letter re-
minding the bunch that year ago
he told them that up to then he'd
smoked 100000, costing, about $i4 900,
and if they'd been laid end to end
they'd have reached from Flagstaff
Co Bellemont flats. He reminded his
fellow members that if they don't do
what he did their wives will be ele-
gan:iy housed and driving Rollys-
Rogces. Al this didn't cause anyone
to swear off, at least until they'd
smoked TO the donor.
Song Leader Tom Bellwood intro
duced rousing new song and re-
hearsed the bunch.
Chairman Breen had Henry Albers,
chairman Of the program committee,
explain the duties of himself and as
sociates. Then Ralph r. Davis, COM
mander of the local American Legion
post, told of the drive coming to raise
our share of $5,0O0,0G0, the interest
of which is to be used to provide
homes for the 35, 900 orphans of World
war veterans, who otherwise would
beNpretty much uncared for. He said

During his recent visit east, George
Harrington, manager of the company,
ordered a new 250-kilowatt generator,
which will be here in a few days. This
will be installed to help carry the load
that the present two 125-kilowatt
generators have been able to carry up
to now but which is rapidly growing
beyond their capacity.
The new machine will be installed
in the part of the light plant now oc-
cupied by the office.
The offices will be moved up town
to the company's own centrally To-
Gated building. More definite details
regarding the latter cannot be given
just now, except that the building will
not only house the offices but will
have room for large and complete
stock of electrical appliances, includ-
ing light fixtures, electric ranges, and
the usual variety Of household con-
veniences.
This move is significant. Mr.. Her
rington says that there are SO many
new connections ordered and soon to
be ordered as. residences now under
erection and planned are completed,
that the load would be. too great for
the light plant without its enlarge
ment. He says he believes that with
in five years the plant will again have
to be enlarged.
This is partly because during the
last few years no effort has been made
to increase the sale of current to
householders, it being felt that to do
so would be unwise until the larger
plant was ready But housewives are
demanding more and more electric
conveniences. They started in with
electric irons, toasters, ETC. Now cleo

HIRAMS Def ACCEPTED

Flagstaff Hiram club has challenged
Flagstaff Rotary club to golf tour

leaving their part Of the arrange
ments in the hands of Sid Gassman.
The par for the 18 holes is 70, some
of them at least may make it some-
where near that. There are pretty
nifty golfers in either club, SO some
surprises may be in store.
The links are popular and every day
a bunch from town is out at the
Country club practicing. No effort
is being spared to make the proposi-
ton successful and it will be only a

ELKS TO RAID VERDE
VALLEY SUNDAY

Clarkdale, Clemenceau and Je-
rome ladies will either leave their
happy homes Sunday or else they're
peculiarly immune, to masculine
charms.
Forty or so Flagstaff Elks, the
whiskeriest of them, will go stag
in their cars Sunday to the Flag
staff -Clarkdale baseball game at
Clarkdale. They'll go sartorially
perfect, derbies, colored vests, and
all. They are going for the ex-
press purpose of being seen and
admired. Watch out for 'em, you
Verde valley people, for you'll sure
get an eyefull. Some of them are
bachelors; but the ladies down that
way needn't be too cautiously dis
eliminating, for the married men
in the contingent viii leave their
incubuses tied at home.

40 tons, get all the refuse from the
logs-knobs, bark and what little slab
there is, and grind it into fragments.
Then it goes into the fuel house to be
used as, needed. Formerly this refuse,
of which there was a great deal more
before the horizontal resaw was in
stalled, was cut into firewood. Such
as did go into the fuel house was not
in as good shape for burning, con-
tanning many larger pieces from which
the heat radiation was not so in
tense.
New conveyors carry the hog
ground fuel from the fuel house as
needed to the boilers. These boilers
also are new. They run the three
big engines.
The entire mill is rugged up in unit
systems. Thus, any part or several
parts can be stopped without interfer-
ing with running the other parts.
The log pond has been enlarged to
ten times its former capacity.
Within the next 80 days or so there
will be installed the Ross lumber car
rier system for the yard, doing away
with the mules that have been used
for years. These carriers are used
by many of the larger Pacific coast
and northwestern mills.
Changes are contemplated in the
planning mill, to increase capacity so
that it may keep up with the saws.
Two railroad tracks have been built
up the center and full length of the
ward so as to load direct to the cars
such rough material as doesn't need
to go through the planning mill.

TECHNICALLY the equipment is known
as a double band" mill. That is,
there are two main saw carriages,
each with its huge band saw. And
behind and auxiliary to these are nu-
merous and various other saws. One
is a vertical resaw. Two are edgers.
a horizontal resaw.
This latter is the first to be in
stalled in this part of the country.
1t takes the slab which formerly went
into the buFs Il fcr firewood, trims
out every possible hit of lumber and
leaves practically nothing but the
bark. Several mill men, forest Off
cials and manufacturers of mill ma
chinery have watched the saw work
with a great deal of interest and say
it's humdinger.
These auxiliary saws greatly speed
up production by taking the smaller
work from the two main carriages.
Small logs, always hard to handle on
the main carriages and time-con-
sumers, are merely run to the saw
there to take off a slab and then are
shot back to the auxiliary saws.
A timber framing department has
been installed, for framing timbers
for mines, and automatically turns out
any kind and size desired.
Another new feature is two big
"hogs." Mills have dufunnies with
peculiar names. For instance, the
one that shoots up and slams a, log
over and into place on the main saw
carriage is the "nigger-head." A
hog is different kind of animal.
These two hogs, their daily capacity

LOCAL PLAYERS ORGANIZE
LITTLE THEATER COMPANY

A modification of the popular Lit
tie Theater movement is under way in
Flagstaff. At a meeting at the Or
pheum theater one evening last week,
about 80 local people agreed to CO.
operate by taking part when called
on in amateur plays to be given at in
tervals of three to four weeks.
Miss Mary Costigan has undertaken
financing the work, the plays to be
first produced in her theater and then,
in some cases perhaps, to be taken to
some of the nearby cities.
G. D. Helm, of Teachers college
faculty, who has been very successful
in the production of plays there dur
ing the last several months, has very
kindly consented to direct the work
of the Orpheum stock company during
the next two or three months. With
this help from Miss Costigan and Mr..
Helm, and the whole hearted coopera-
tion of a sufficient number of anna
teurs, it is believed the new move
ment will be success.
It is hoped that the people of Flag
staff will be liberal in their patron
age. Usually in Little Theater move
ments funds are solicited from resi-
dents of the city and an attempt made
to make it pay the players. The local
plan is to be Independent. If expenses
can be met, without monetary COM
pensation to the players, everyone
concerned will be satisfied.
The benefits are two-fold: The ex-
perience and pleasure the players will
get out of a smooth-working, har-
monious organization and the oppor-
tunity to try out and get line or
their talents, and the bringing to the
community of good, clean, wholesome
plays of high order.
The committee chosen for selection
of plays and general cooperation with
Miss Costigan and Mr. helm is: Ales
Johnston, Mrs. Agnes Pouthie ane
Del Strong.

MADE OWN MOOSE HOURS
 BEFORE HANGING SELF
Charles B. Freeman Prepared Rope at Night and Ended Life
 in Morning.

Charles B. Freeman, whose death in Westield was reported in last nights Herald, committed suicide by hanging himself in his barn, it was learned today. Before retiring Sunday night, he rigged up a moose and made all preparations. and then went to bed as usual. He arose about o'clock in the morn- ing, crept out of the house to the barn, and hanged himself in his previously arranged device. His body was found in the morning by members of his family.
 For some time past Freeman had been in i'll health and a short while ago he visited a doctor in Hartford. It is not known what he learned there, but he brooded over it. his despondency being increased by financial reYerses. Freeman was formerly in charge of the labor bu- l'eau at the Stanley Rule and Level, plant in this city. He leaves his wife: one son, Charles E.. Freema Il, jr. and his mother, Mrs. Dora Free man.

 In his reference to the divorce laws, Governor pothier said in part:
 Divorce for certain causes has long been granted In this state. These causes have got been altered for many years, Neither have modes of procedure, In recent years, however, tho discovery that non-residents at times were taking fraudulent advantage of our laws has called particular attention to procedural weakness. The legiti- mate privacy with which divorces now can be had is an incentive 10 dishonesty In divorce cases gen erally no such incentive is needed because both parties want or are satisfied 10 be divorced.
 Fraud in ordinary litigation must Iun the gauntlet Of the court and opposing counsel. In divorce cases the court gets little aid from the parties in trrretng out collusion or perjury, The problem Is how to handle applicants for divorce with out injustice to meritorious cases and with the greatest obstruction 10 collusive or dishonest ones xxx therefore believe that evidence in all divorce cases should be given in open court unless the court, for reason, makes a special order 10 the contrary, The number of special masters in divorce cases should be limited, They should have more power than that of mere listeners as at present Such changes can, and I hope will be speedily made,
 Before other alterations either Of causes Of divorce or procedure, it seems wise 10 observe the effect Of those just suggested. would suggest, however, that q more leisurely con- Sideration might develop a workable plan to reduce the number of di- vorces even where some causes hon eStly exist. Much unknown good work Is done by members of the bar and clergy in discouraging the bring, ing of cases. My thought is that, In addition 10 such private efforts, per haps the parties might be brought together In an informal way prior to q legal trial, to discuss their situa- ton with some officer or judge Of sympathy, tact and firmnese, backed by the power of the state.
