FLAGSTAFF HIGH PLAYS
WINSLOW THIS P. M.

Flagstaff High football team NETS
Winslow this afternoon at the city
park field in what promises to be a
closely contested game. On the basis
of previous games played, the teams
seem to be evenly matched and the
score should be close. Winslow lost
to Clarkdale 60 and won from both
Jerome and Kingman by small mar
gins. Flagstaff lost its first game at
Prescott but has since won over
Clarkdale and Williams. From this
dope Flagstaff might be slight
favorite but it is hard to pick win
ner on comparative scores.
The local team did not play last
week and the two weeks rest since
the Williams game has enabled it
to get into the best of condition for
the game today. The boys have been
working hard on new plays and
brushing up the rough spots that
showed up in the last game, and this
afternoon will see them fighting to
keep up their winning streak.
The probably line-up of the Flag
staff team will be: Caffey, lie; Curry,
1t; Anderson, lg; Brandes c; Corbett,
rg; Wallace, rt; Beard re; Capt.
Charlie Prochnow, qb; B. Prochnow,
h; June, III and Cameron fb. Meir,
Dunman, Thomas, Slipher, and Har-
rison will probably also get into the
game.
This is the last home game for the
local team and they deserve to have
good crowd out to watch them.
The scores Of other teams in north
ern Arizona last week were: Williams
3, Jerome 0. Prescott q, Clarkdale
5.

LOCAL MERCHANTS FORM
A CREDIT ASSOCIATION

At meeting of the special COM
mittee appointed by the Flagstaff
chamber of commerce Tuesday night
bylaws and constitution were adopt
I'd for the Flagstaff Credit associa-
Sion. w. H. Switzer, chairman was
assisted by Sid Gassman, Ralph Da-
yis, A. f. Grimmell, Kenneth Web
Der and Mr.. Hobbs, all agreeing that
the formation of such an association
would be of immense value to the
business interests of the city.
The annual meeting of the associa-
tion was set for the second Monday
in February and regular meetings the
second Monday of each month. No
limit was placed on the membership,
the fee being So month with an
initiation fee of SIS both payable in
advance. This monthly fee will entitle
each member to six credit calls a
month, and every call over that
number will be charged at the rate of
25 cents a call. Ali necessary long dis
tance calls or kilograms sent in the
interest of credit information for
members will be charged to the mem
bers at the regular rate.
Eighteen business houses have al
ready signified desire to become mem
bers. The association will begin
functioning within the next 10 days.
According to the constitution and
bylaws, the files and information of
the bureau as whole will not be
accessible to any member of the as
sociation except as they call on indi-
vidual cases. Miss Margaret Stewart
is to act as Secretary of the Asso-
citation in charge of its affairs.
The Flagstaff Credit Association
| is a member Of the Arizona State
Credit association and is already re-
ceiving credit reports from other ci-
ties in the state Information from
this office will be sent all over the
state just as soon as the association
begins functioning.
A regular meeting of the entire
membership will be called as soon as
| all organization details have been
arranged. Prior to this meeting a
nominating committee will be APP
pointed to select prospective candi-
dates for the various offices.

SANTA FE TRAINS 3 AND
FOUR TO STOP HERE NOW

Official notice was received from
Assistant General Freight and Pass
enger Agent F. L. Hanna yesterday,
that trains and would stop in
Flagstaff to take on passengers
whenever space was available.
In this letter to the Chamber of
Commerce, Mr.. Hanna said, II have
again discussed this proposition
with our people and am very happy
to be able to advise you that instruc-
tions have been issued whereby
Flagstaff will be accorded the privi-
lege of using the California limited
whenever there is any space avail
able.
''For reasons in which think you
will readily concur, it would rot be
good business for us to hold space
from Chicago clear through to Flag
staff to take care of business offered
from Flagstaff to Los Angeles; how
ever we are arranging whereby res
ervations may be made at Chicago
after five o'clock day of departure
and at Kansas City after eight o.
clock day of departure.
.It is rather exceptional when there
is not some vacant space on these
trains, and | sincerely trust that this
arrangement, which will go into eff
feet shortly, will meet with the ap-
proval of our good friends in Flag
staff"
This is decidedly a concession to
Flagstaff and her increased business
and prosperity, and it is with con-
siderable pride that this announce
ment is made.

Strikers" At Hotel
GiUe Foreman Gun to
Shoot His Goat Will

Work on the new Monte Vista ho-
tel was held up for the first time last
Friday, and by a strike of the work
men, including practically all of the
men on the job
Few townspeople realized that
there was any trouble at all. But for
time it looked serious, and it was
only due to fine diplomacy on the
part of Clark Granting, superinten-
dent of construction, that everything
was Strengthened out to the satisfac-
tion of the men and they went back
to work.
Only half an hour is taken for
noon. When Earl Dryer, carpenter
foreman, blew his whistle for the
men to resume work at 1890, not one
stirred. They were inside near the
fEnnt4aft the. building, grouped togeth-
er, muttering. Roy Nicholson, an
other foreman, called Mr.. Granting
from the hotel office.
Mr.. Granting tried to get from the
men a statement of their grievance,
but unavailingly. Some said the al
titude here is too high, others that
they were going south for the winter.
Mr.. Granting told them he knew
there had been trouble brewing for
some time-that frequently during
the preceding few days he had come
upon groups of two or three whisper
ing together and scattering as soon
as he appeared. He said he was
afraid the trouble was distinctly up
to Dryer and that the latter had fall
len down on his job.
Dryer said: sLet the men tell
what's the matter, and We'll have it
out right here"
II can tell you what the trouble is,"
Gramling said. "You are getting too
old for this job. Here, take this and
go shoot yourself" and handed him
fine new shotgun, a present from
the men in honor of his birthday,
that day.
Then the men, laughing, went back
to work, and Dryer stood against the
wall, the newagun in his hands, all
blushed up like peony and actually
unable to say DANCED word.
That night 30 of them, loaded down
with good things to eat, gave Mr..
and Mrs. Dryer surprise party at
their home.
No wonder the new hotel is break
ing all local building records, with a
bunch Of whole-hearted good fellows
like that on the job.

Even Burbank couldn't have
grated these two together! And
yet the members of family who
are continually flying out at aech
other In rage, who find pleasure in
denying each others desires, whQ
get q kick out of irritating each
other, in little petty ways, cannot
understand what has happened or
why when the home breaks up be-
fore their eyes into a fortress Of
fighting peoples.
In my mind there are two kinds
of people: those who are like streams
or rivers, flowing about one another
with love, kindness, consideration,
and thoughtfulness; refreshing to
the weary, sustaining to the thirsty.
The others are like rocks, rearing
sharp Jagged fangs against each
other, barren of love or life, mis-
understanding. resentful, unap-
preachable and often unsurmount-
able. There is no good genii hidden
in the seven headed dragon of Hate,
Bitterness, Resentment, Petty Bick-
ering, Selfishness, Unreasonableness
and Moral Cowardice.
