While he expressed confidence
that the affair Of the Prescott State
bank and the Commercial Savings
Bank and Trust company, which
closed their doors last week, would
be handled in such a manner that
the two institutions would be put
in a position to resume business,
State Bank superintendent A. Z.
Hammons says that nothing defin-
ite could be done until the audit
of the affairs of the two banks had
been completed Members of his
staff are working on this audit at
the present time and it should be
completed by the early part of next
week, the official stated.
I'VE are going to try to reopen
the two banks Mr. Hammond said
this morning, "but nothing defin-
ite can be said at this time. The
Phoenix bankers who have been
here in conference with the Off
GERS anu SLOCkuOlueIS OI Cue HIeS-
cott State bank and of the Com
mercial Trust will not be able to
decide whether they will take any
action in behalf of the two Pres
colt banks until We have made our
investigation and filed our report" ;"
The names of all the depositOrs
in both banks, the amounts of their
credit and the names of those who
are indebted to the two banks with
the amounts of their Indebtedness
will be filed with the clerk of the

Wilson, a dinner and celebration of
the event will be observed by the
admirers of the war president, at
the banquet room of the Baptist
church The affair will be nom
partisan, and the public is invited
to participate.
The observance Of Wilson's birth
day is nationwide, and the local
celebration will be consistent with
the general observance of the day
throughout the country. Senator
Robert l.. Moore has been chosen
by the national committee as chair
man of the local committee to per-
feet the arrangements. He has Sc
lected as committeeman, Mrs. Hor-
ace Evans, Mrs. w. A. Parr, r. G..
Bazell, Eugene Leonard. J. d. Wiley
and Chas. P. Mason. Mrs. M. G..
Moore will act as secretary Of the
committee.
Hon Paul Geary, one of the most
eloquent speakers in the southwest,
will act as POSTMASTER and make
the address of the evening. Other
speakers will be on the program
and musical numbers will be pro-
vided.
A letter to Mr.. Moore from the
national committee says:
"In response to many requests,
the Woodrow Wilson Foundation
has undertaken to organize COM
mittees in every state in the coun-
try in order to celebrate adequate
ly the birthday of Woodrow Will
son-our president who guided us
during eight years of storm and
stress such as no man ever before
faced, who laid down his life on the
altar of sacrifice for what he be-
lieved to be the cause of his cOun-
try and the world, and who called
upon humanity to take the first
step toward the abolishment of
war-the greatest enemy that man
kind has ever known.
I'm each large city of every state
it is proposed to have the celebra-
tion take the form of a dinner with
national speakers-the object being
to re-awaken and stimulate those
national and civic ideals which
Woodrow Wilson voiced and for
which he stood F. as tribute
of honor and respect for our de-
ceased president"

new SWITCH
YARDS WILL Be
COMPLETED IN
A FEW DAYS

Within the next few days the i'm
provement and enlargement of the
Winslow terminal facilities of the
A. T. & S. F. r. r. Co. will be COM
plete. The work, which has been
going on for the past 60 days, has
been to move the main lines to the
south, construct an independent
engine lead, a new switch lead, and
lengthen the yard track about 500
feet.
The engine lead enters the switch
lead at the cross over to the main
lines, and extends to No. II yard
track, distance of perhaps 5000
feet. From the engine lead access
is had to the roundhouse tracks,
coal chutes, repair tracks and what
was the link, or the track that con-
nected the west end of the old
switch lead with the old freight
main
The new switch lead enters the
east bound main about 1000 feet
west of the croSsover to the west
bound, running parallel with the
main lines until it crosses the en-
gine lead, then extending to No. IL
track parallel with the engine lead.
The new switch lead has been made
of new secondhand" 80 pound
steel, with all new switches, laid
on treated ties, that in turn are
laid on a heavy, coat of volcanic
cinder ballast.
Just what the Improvement will
mean to the yard in the handling
of cars can not be known until it
has been put into service For, as
H. j. Fouts, local agent of the San
ia Fe, sairt, about all we can say
at this time is that the storage ca
pacity of the present yard will be
increased about one third of
course" he continued, "the time
saved in not being obliged to han.
die the rear-ends of 20 car trains,
or the time that the west lead is
obstructed by trains ready to leave
cannot be estimated until we are
not obliged to put up with those
things any more"
Although not officially announc-
ed, it is the aim of the company to
do most of the switching at the
west end, as it can be done more
cheaply there on account of the
gravity. AS a result the amount
of work that an engine can do will
be directly proportional to the
number of men with the engine, as
each draft of cars cut off must be
accompanied by rider

Elizabeth Spencer
And Lucille Collette
Recital Next Friday

On Friday Elizabeth Spencer, the
famous American soprano, will ap-
pear in a concert in this city under
the auspices of the Central News
company. Miss Spencer is the ar
tist whom Thomas A. Edison re-
ferred to over his own signature
as "the greatest dramatic soprano
voice in the United States. AL
this recital Miss Spencer will be
assisted by Lucille Collette, a dis
tinguished Partisan violin Vlrtuoso.
Miss Collette was obliged, owing to
the World war, to cancel all Euro
pean engagements, including one
with orchestra at Queens Hall,
London, under Sir Henry Woods,
as well as Monte Carlo, and seek
refuge, as we'll as fortune, in Amer
ica. Miss Collette has already won
fame in all the principal cities OF
the United States and is unanimous
ly acclaimed as one of the best OF
our European acquisitions.
While on a recent concert tour
of the. United States, these popular
artists had the unique experience
of flying by aeroplane from one OF
their concert dates in Oklahoma to
another, a distance of 40 miles.
They arrived safely in time for
their recital, but on the return trip
they were caught in terrific cleo
trical storm. They were up IN the
air all night, exposed to the ele-
ments, as the aviator could not
find his way, owing to the extreme
blackness of the night.
The artists were told afterwards
by the aviator that they were in
deed fortunate to have escaped
with their lives, as they had sew
eral narrow escapes from running
into houses 1t is also fortunate
that they did not contract pneu-
monia from such exposure, as they
were literally drenched and their
evening gowns and slippers ruined
On this occasion the artists also
Witnessed the terrific hail storm
: which caused so much damage in
Oklahoma at that time. They were
on their way on train to fulfill
one of their concert engagements
when the storm broke. The hail
stones were so large and fell with
such force that they shattered every
window in the train, causing much
alarm among the passengers as the
broken glass fell in showers upon
them
Upon arriving at their destina-
ton the artists found that the au-
tomobile which had been sent for
had been out in the storm. and
they were able to count 33 holes
+ in its top.
So you see, the life of a concert
artist is not a particularly safe one

after Baby came, |
couldn't seem to get my
health back, and finally l
got so run down that l
had to wean him at three
months. My back hurt
something terrible, and l
had awful suffering with
both ovaries. Of course,
l couldn't do a lick of
housework, and hardly
had strength to mind the
baby" says pretty little
Mrs. E. r. Dawson Of 122
Wingate Avenue.
"My sister in New York
was so distressed over my
condition, she thought
she would send me some
thing special that only the
people with the advant-
ages of the East could get
and what did we find
when we opened the
package, but a bottle Of
G. F. P.
81 could have bought it
at the drug store here just
as well, but I never
thought about it when |
was down there, so just
never did get it. How
ever, since she had sent
this half way across the
country like that, | took
some, just to be able to
write her about it. Well,
what I could say about G..
F. P. now, certainly could
fill a fat letter.
"When that first bottle
was gone, I got two others
but this time l bought
them right here in the
wilds of Texas, and,
strange as it seems, they
did me just as much good
as that first greatly trav-
eled bottle! That is say
ing a lot, too, because the
G. F. P. has made a new
person of me, lots strong
er, with never a pain or
an ache, and not only at
tending to my own house
work, but doing all the
laundry, too"

3 CAR SHIPPERS
NAbbED NEAR JAIL

Caught stripping a car three blocks
from the police station. three men in
uniform were captured after a short
chase Saturday night and lodged in
Jail.
Detectives Lee Grasshoff and Char.
ley Bartholomae observed the men re-
moving the tires from a car parked on
Market Street.
As they approached the men leaped
into a small cur and fled. The detec-
tives gave chase. They captured them
after n run of one block. Two tires
they had removed from the parked au-
tomobile were found in their car, the
detectives said.
The stripped car is owned by c. W.
Stewart, Western Union cmploye.

1t is very often the case,
just as Mrs. Dawson says,
that when a thing is right
at our door we don't take
advantage of it, until some
extraordinary circumstance
calls our attention to 1t.
Just because st. Joseph's
G. F. P. is so easy to get,
there are a lot of people
who read about it, and hear
it praised by their friends,
and say they will buy it to-
morrow, and to m orr o W
never comes.
But in spite of that, their
trouble, which in nine cases
out of ten, is Catarrh of the
Female Organs, goes on
working it's insidious way
throughout the system, af-
fecting organ after organ,
and getting a stronger and
stronger hold on the deli
cate membranes.
Luckily, st. Joseph's G..
F. P, the first direct spe-
cific for the treatment of
Catarrh, goes to the root
of the matter, and stamps
out the disorder even in
cases of years standing,
just the same as it does
when the symptoms first
show themselves. But it is
such a terrible pity that
women who, for the sake
of their husbands and fami-
lies, ought to be well and
strong and happy, will al
low themselves to be run
down and pain-racked, oft
en- ill-tempered and care
less about their personal
appearance, and incapable
of keeping their homes in
order. 1t is so easy to send
down any day, and at a
price within the reach of
all, buy a medicine which
is restoring thousands of
suffering women in all parts
Of the country to health,
with an abundance of vi
tally and buoyancy.
It is because of this pow
err, and the quick and genu-
inc help it is proving to
suffering rundown women,
that women and girls from
New York to Texas are wy
ing with each other in
praise for st. Joseph's G..
Fee p, and it is selling at
the almost unbelievable rate
of a million and a half bot
ties a year.
