special law fixing the beginning
of the season as of some specific
date. The words, when the ice is
out" are generally conceded to mean
that it must be broken up all over
the lake so that navigation Is pos

and navigation is impossible in the
remainder of the lake, the ice would
not be considered "out" as contem-
plated by law.

About 130 club women gathered
at the banquet given at the Owl
Saturday evening, as the closing
event. Mrs. Todt, the district pres

Gus manner.
An unusual honor was given the
federation of having as it's guests
two on the founders roll. Mrs K.
w. Williams of Williams, and Miss
Sharlott Hall of the Monday club.
Both spoke on the subject of old
homes, Mrs. Williams of her old
Kentucky home and Miss Hall of
her old Arizona home.
Mrs. Williams description of her
Kentucky home was vivid and her
eulogy of the women who pioneer
ed in that state gave her hearers a
thrill of admiration for the cour-
age and bravely displayed. Fol
lowing her talk, Mrs. Frank E
Wells of Williams, sang my Old
Kentucky Home" the audience
joining in the chorus.
Miss Sharlot Hall, wearing the
famous copper gown, was as usual
most interesting in her talks. She
too, felt that the women of today
had much to be thankful for in the
heritage of truth, courage and fine
ideals. In refutation of the Opin-
ion spread about Arizona through
fake movie picture and lurid COW
boy tales, Miss Hall has been writ

more important than even school
itself. as most of the work done in
the school room is lost when the

a talk Beauty in the Home" was
given by Mrs. w. H. Timerhoff of
Prescott New color brings new

if your room would be joy to the

In her paper, Music in the

Books in the Home" was dis

read as her concluding remarks.
This was entitled How Ma Turn
ed the Stampede" Following her
talk Mrs. Wells led the chorus with
"I Love You, Arizona"
"The Ideal Home" was most adj
mirably described by Mrs. James
Whetstine, who interspersed her
more serious thoughts with a num-
Der of humorous stories. Mrs.
Whetstine developed the thought
that the ideal home did not depend
on size Of furnishings, but in the
spirit of loving appreciation shown
by it's members. She felt that upon
the high ideals shown in the Amer
ican home rests the future of the
republic
Mrs. Wells then sang the Creole
song, Morning on Re Bayou" This

Monday and Tuesday-At last a
comedy star has made different"
picture. 1t is Battling Butler" the
new Buster Keaton mirth-provoker.
Keaton can always be depended upon
to provide good entertainment; in
Battling Butler" he excels himself,
for the picture has a real plot, is re-
plete with love interest in addition to
the kind of screen farce that made the
frozen-faced comedian famous, and is
clean and wholesome. Also, Buster has
surrounded himself with an unusually
capable cast Sally O'Neil, Walter
James, Tom Wilson, Francis McDon-
old, Mary O'Brien and other names to
conjure with in Hollywood, have i'm
portant parts. Miss O'Neil especially
in her role of Busters sweetheart, and
later, wife, gives an excellent per-
formance. The story of Battling
Butler" a successful stage play be-
fore it was brought to the screen, is
scream from start to finish. Keaton,
wearing his traditional frozen-face,
portrays rich, pampered youth who
goes to the country for an outing
and finds adventure. He falls in love,
masquerades as a famous boxer to
win the lady of his choice, whose fam
lily detests weaklings, and suddenly
discovers himself hailed as a hero
the worlds champion middleweight
pugilist. To confess the deception
imperils his status as a bridegroom;
to go through with it endangers his
heretofore lazy carcass. How he
"saves face" and retains his wife's
love is too novel denouement to re-
veal to those who have not seen the
picture. Thousands Of people appear
in some Of the scenes, and the settings
and art effects are as elaborate as
those in the average feature produc-
ton. The direction, by Buster him
self, shows the stars skill as a laugh
builder as we'll as a laugh provoker.

ALWAYS AT WORK TO RELIEVE
DISTRESS

Since 1905 the American Red Cross
has given relief to 854 disasters in
the United States alone. A year sell
dora passes without a major calamity
due to tornado, earthquake, fire or
flood. The Red Cross in each case has
remained on the job until relief was
completed.
Last year the Midwest tornado
which struck five states was the out
standing relief operation by the Red
Cross. The Florida hurricane in Sep
tember created a problem which ex-
ceeded in proportions any disaster
since the San Francisco fire.
BY joining the American Red Cross
every American can do his part to
make its services continuously effec-
tive. The Annual Roll Call from No
vember IL to 25, this year, is your op-
portunity.

War Over, But Red Cross
Nurses Are Ever On Duty

Has the romantic picture of the Rec
Cross Nurse faded with the war days!
It has been more than IL years since
that first contingent of brave women
to go to the war zone sailed from
America to make an undying record
of service behind every battle front.
For an answer to their whereabouts
today, it is only necessary to refer to
any large disaster Of recent years In
which the Red Cross rendered relief.
Wherever there was injury and suf-
fering the Red Cross nurse will be
found to have been on active duty.
These nurses are enrolled under the
American Red Cross as a reserve of
the Army, Navy and o. s. Public
Health Service, at all times ready to
serve in war or peace. This reserve
Of Red Cross nurses aggregates 43,503
women who have met the highest
standard in the nursing profession.

Red Cross this year is November II
to 25, when the American people
identify themselves with the broad
services of the organization by joining

turned to motion pictures. The one
time popular actress, who since the
death Of her director husband, Allan

been in virtual retirement, is making
the bid for return to screen favor in

ciled through the romance Of their
