Bible Class to Hold
Third Meeting at "
On Monday Evening

The third meeting Of the Y. M.
c.. A. Bible class will be held at the
association building Monday night at
7;30 o'clock. The second and third
chapters of Revelation have been as
signed for study, the messages. to the
seven churches being the topic for

discussion basis, with no dogma OF
doctrine, each member contributing
whatever information he may have
on an Interpretation of the Scrip

more authors are being presented, not

Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-10-23

Halloween with all its witches, hob
gobblins and cats is already being cele-
brated by the younger generation.
Evenings, the pedestrian in the resi-
dental section may see white ghosts
fitting from alleyway to street and
back again.
The one day in all the year that
belongs to the kids" is rapidly ap-
preaching and youth with its aSsur-
ance will celebratee that day from the
time that the colorful Halloween dec
orations appear in the stores until the
week after october 81.
If mothers are planning any party
during the entire year for the chill
drcn, no more fun can be had for the
younger generation than by having
that party now.
The next week will bring a large
number of such parties, not all OF
them will be at night by the light of
the harvest moon and good many
will take place in the afternoon.
Whether the party be held a week
before Halloween or the eve Of Hal
lowe'en this one event of the year
will be an occasion for the older gem
Grafton with their bridge and teas TO
slip into the background and let hilar-
iouS. youth have its time.
Decorations are important in the
successful discharge of this party.
With orange and black paper and a
bottle of paste hundreds of clever and
sometimes startling effects can be
achieved. Grinning skeletons can be
made in large numbers by using a
pattern of the kind sold in the stores
and filling in the lines with black
crayon. Flat paper pumpkins used as
doilies on white tablecloth are effec-
tive for the table decorations. Red
and black can be effectively combined
to give colorful effect by pasting CUT
out cats, one red and one black, back
to back. If these are strung on thread
and suspended three or four at a time
about the room they will twirl and
look alive with each breeze through
the house. A pumpkin chariot drawn
by four paper cats and driven by a
black witch with a broom will serve
to hold pleasant surprise, or candy
and nuts for refreshments. GobllnS
cavorting along the chandeliers will
add touch of color to the scene. A
shock of dried corn in the corner and
real pumpkin or two will turn the
room into rendezvous Tor spirits
AS to the games, no amount of mag
ination can bring forth better games
than those traditional in Halloween
celebration A tub of water and float
ing red apples for contestants to dive
for. Rinning, black cats tail in place
blindfolded and other games that
never grow old
Above all, the party should be exc
cuted in plan and detail by the small
host and hostess. Decorations may be
made by them with a little aid and
all the management of the Halloween
party should fall on their shoulders.

worldwide extension of the Christian
Endeavor society, which is now found
in nearly every country on the globe
and has over 10000 societies and 4,000,-

The Kansas City Gazette-Globe says
of the speaker: "AS q platform man,
DR.. Landrith is unsurpassed. His style
mingles the elusive plantation melody,
quietly permeating as the moonlight
and soft as the scent of magnolias,
With the precipitous fire of soul that
instantly flames out against injustice,
whether it be individual or national"
The local Christian Endeavor leaders
are making active preparations to
make this one of the largest rallies in
the history of the work. Every society
will be urged to attend en- masse.

the Prescott Cowboys and the frosh
meet Flagstaff high school, both their
return games.
Both college teams We're successful
in their first games but since then
their opponents have been developing
fine points and expect to give the
college teams hard run.
The frosh will also play return
game with st. Johns high school at

evening. The frosh won their first
game with st. Johns but the close
score means another good game.
Next Monday and Tuesday nights

revenge on Flagstaff for the drubbing
given them in football last season.
To give Flagstaff people an oppor-

S259, ,527.35 For
Canyon Roads

GRAND CANYON.-''The approval
by the interior department of the low
bid of $3.50, 9,527.35 for construction of
certain roads in the Grand Canyon
national park which was submitted on
December 21, merely marks the start
of comprehensive road system in
the park" it was stated recently by
j. r. Eakin, superintendent
Explaining this statement, Mr.. Eak-
in said, ''The increasing number of
visitors to the Grand Canyon national
park, has made the opening of new
drives a necessity. During the recent
visit to the park of Horace NJ. Al
bright, assistant director Of the ma
tional park service (field), plans
building program. The tentative pro-
gram which was worked out will call
for the expenditure Of approximately
two million dollars at the Grand Can
yon during the next five years. 1t
was decided that the present Grand
View project will be continued to Des
ert View. The next project will be
the construction of road to overlook
the wonderful Havasupai Canyon.
Branches from this road will make
accessible the Old Bass Camp, Hava
supai, Apache and Great Thumb
Points. On the north rim road
will be projected to Cape Royal. In
addition to these, other scenic high
ways are being planned. When the
program is completed there will be
over a hundred miles of modern i'm
proved highways in the park. The
most important sections of the sys-
tenn will be paved. This will enable
visitors to view the canyon from
practically every angle, and provide
a large area for camping and other
forms of recreation consistent with
national park policy"
Mr.. Eakin also stated that the
greater part Of the money would be
spent on the south rim, as over 80 per
cent of the park visitors use this sec
ton. However, the wonderful north
rim country will not be overlooked,
and substantial funds will also be
available in this area.

tions. The tea board at that time
formulated standards which excluded
tea containing coloring matter and
deleterious foreign substances With
