Globe. Ariz .Dec 1. A rcterendum
vote of all mirlers in the Globe-Miami

question of demanding a full "closed

meeting with much opposition espe-

homes and who fear the breaking cut
of labor trouble in the camps. There

manage to get into something fresh
for Warren the unaccustomed work
made her so weary. Mary was not
picking up as fast as they had expect-

Besides her greatest thought was
the relationship between herself and
Warren. Nothing definite had been
