Besides this obligation, there is the
bill for the printing of ten thousand
booklets and it was for this purpose
principally, that the $500 fund was
proposed. 1t is now planned that Sec.
Thompson, Andrew Nielsen, J. B.
Cook and w. S. Johnston will spend
today among the farmers and business
men soliciting contributions to make
up this fund. So much has already
been said upon this subject that more
lis hardly necessary. 1t is sincerely
hoped, however, that the public will
help out literally. The board is doing
a good work and it will mean a great
deal to Tempe, but the board in this
work must have the financial backing
of the community.
The plan of distribution of the book
lets was also discussed and it has
been decided that at least a thousand
copies shall be sent to Albuquerque. 1t
is desired to place the booklets where
they will do the most good for Tempe
and home people can help out by OBJ
tanning copies and sending to parties
whom they may know to be interested
in this section or who they think might
be induced to consider this as new
location.

mountain resort lies, the elevation OF
which is over a mile, and it abounds
with springs of fresh mountain water.
The section of country in that imme-
date vicinity is thickly covered with
beautiful spruce frs and pines, and
also affords fine mountain scenery.
The best of all in connection with
this location is the fact that OF its
nearness to Mesa, and also that plenty
of building material can be had in
close proximity with which to con-
struct the necessary abodes for sum-
mer cottage. For a distance OF, fifteen
miles from the Roosevelt road to this
camping site, it will be necessary to
construct a wagon road and this work
of course will necessitate considerable
outlay. However, Mr.. Fraser has had
the plan of converting this ideal site
into a mountain resort, under advise
ment for some time, and is of the opin-
ion that the idea is a practicable one,
and the present inspection trip is made
for the purpose of determining the
feasibility of the plan.
The Roosevelt road, from this place
to Fish Creek is one of the best wagon
ways in the country, and this with the
added fifteen miles of road ways to be
constructed up Fish Creek Canyon TO
the site of the proposed resort will
make it one of the most accessible Of
any for the residents of the east end
of the valley. and thus, by this means,
a delightful time might be spent in
the mountain within a short distance
of home. and families camping there
for the summer season could be easily

The section of country there has also

the arrival of the party, and there was
a steady dOwn-pOur for three hours,
during which time three inches of rain

DIR. A. S. Warthin of the University
OF Michigan gave an illustrated lecture
on tuberculosis at the Alma theater last
Friday evening before crowded house.
Warthin had with him over 100 hand
somely illustrated views concerning his
subject and he was thus able to make
nis lecture doubly interesting.
DIR. Warthin is professor Of pathology
at the University of Michigan and is
an authority on tuberculosis. His wide

epabled him TO present it in clear com
prehcnsive way 10 his hearers. He
covered the subject thoroughly from

with frequent instances OF personal
experience gained from investigation in
his field Of work. All who heard him
went away glad they had come and with
a much more comprehensive knowledge
OF the great white plague and the fight
that Is being conducted all over the
world TO stamp it out.
The lecture was held under the aus

was a financial success also II has
been hard work creating enthusiasm
over this subject and getting out crowd,

aggregate will be sufficient to make
many children and few fathers and
mothers feel and appreciate the full
deep, the true meaning of Christmas
The following story illustrates the
true spirit of Christmas giving:
Last year in a public school in a
poor quarter of an eastern city, ii was
resolved to make up a few Christ
mas baskets for destitute. families. ev-
en- poorer than their neighbors. One
little girl, in the primary grade. was
much interested. She had nothing to
give, and the teacher expected moth
ing from her. But next day the child
came and put a penny into the teach
ers hand.
Father gives me a penny every
week, she said. I'll bring you the
penny every week, teacher. for the
Christmas baskets
She was as good as her word
Three pennies were all she had time
to give before the baskets were sent
She brought them always. and always
with a smile-'the most generous CIV
er have ever seen, the teacher called
her, in telling the story to friend.
What those pennies represented 20
her little mind. only those who know
the poor can understand. IL was as
II she poured a full purse, every week,
into the teachers hand"
The little girl had observed three
self appointed weeks of self-denial.
and how happy she was when the gifts
were distributed.
She had learned the best way of
giving and the innermost meaning of
Christmas gifts"
We have two weeks left in which
to plan for this happy occasion and
all who contribute their dollars or
their pennies viii be greatly blessed
and awarded for the sacrifice. Let us
all unite In making this Christmas a
happy one to those who are less
fortunate
