plowed it and gets as little for his la

says something like this:
I'VE are German people, come from

they might be a fox's or martens foot

full girl. We hunters, we good fell
lows, are determined not to rest till
we have found the animal. We have
been III all cities from Germany to
Turkey and have sought for this fox,
this marten or this princess. and ut last
we have seen the same strange foot
prints in the snow again, here by your
court. And we have come in. Come,
let us take her, the beautiful princess,
for we see her in front of Us, or can
it be that you would keep her till she
grows a little older?'

ONE-DAY
 CAMPAIGN FOR
 NEW MEMBERS
Local Y. M. c. A. Has Set Aside March 24tb For a Whirlwlnd Fight For a>aaem- berShip of 1000

A campaign that wiE rival any thing ever before attempted in Bis bee-eVen the formr enthusiastic Red and Blue membership campaign of the r. N C. A.-has been planned and will be carried to a whirlwind finish by over a hundred of Bisbee's cool-headed young business men will be the one-day campaign for mem bers which the '. NJ. C. A. of Bisbee has inaugurared.
 The reasons for the campaign are many. but two good ones may be men tioned. First, while Bisbee has a larger membership than any associa- ton in the southwest. yet the Fl Paso association is rapidly gaining in membership. jsnd ,Bisbee is deter mined to keep the lead. Second. that many men and boys when asked whS they have not 5onted before say that they have never been asked. So this campaign was heyer formed adn this excuse of never having oeen asked to join will be a dead letter wien i. is oye..
 March 2& Is the day selected and tae reason for a one day campaign iS that these men who are to be behind It feel that they can better leave their business and work for a one days hard campaign than they can to drag along through a two weeks campaign. getting member here and there until the desired number is reached.
 It is estimated that the local Y. M l c. 4. building. with it's present equip ! nient, can accommodate 1000 mem bers. The present membership oi | the association Is over 500, so less than geo members would have to bC secured In the one day to bring tho membership up to 1000.
 The oneday plan has been sue cess fin other associations not neari, as strong as the local branch. Th' plan was worked successfully in De: Moines. where 500 were secured il one day Cedar Rapids, Iowa, SC cured 300 in one day. Beaumon; l. Texas. raised their membership iron 500 to 1000 in one day. Topeka, Kan sas, secured 525 in one day. and
 looks as though Bisbee should b able to secure at least 200 and rais
 the membership to 1000 or more.
 New and attractive printed matte
 is in course of preparation for tn | campaign. There will be noise, am pienty of go to the campaign. It vii not be on the gum shoe order. Nor display advertising than was eve done before will be used and thu ads" will be in the newspapers. Bi posters win ind places where th | ipubllc can't miss them aud everyboa will know there is something doing
 Several workers rallies are plan ned On the night O. the 23d a biI social rally for the workers will b held at the \. M c. A. building whicI wiu ouly be exceeded by the big can paign cf the following day Score oi members will be asked to give al or part of the day to definite can vass for members, and these men vii get final instructions on that night All of Bisbee's bOasted boost spirit
 will be put to the test and the resul will not be in doubt.

BURSTING BUDS ' UsHER IN SPRING

DOUGLAS. Arizona. March D. Bursting buds and new green shoots of grass herald the fact that spring Is here And 1T these natural indica- lions were not sufficient one need but to see Che, small boys playing baseball on cofner lots, see young men trying out their stiIl frozen arms and see baid-headed fans baried in the depths Of the Sunday pink sheet where baseball gots columns and all other sports obituaries.
 The genuine baseball enthusiast feels the national game in the air. The baseball fever comes every year with green grass and trees. spring fever and "back-home" yeaFnings. And it has struck Dougias. One hears of the Tin Can alley gang challeng- ing the Dirty Dczen fellows for a game to be played on Q neutral lot on next Sunday. and one even sees young business men leave their stores and on some side street heave a few "feelers" at some embryo back stop. The pink sheet has again come into its own after a winter given over to football and other winter sports and it probably has more read CTS than any other section of the newspaper. Followers of the Cubs. the Giants. the Sox and other big league teams are doping up the young sters and wondering what chance SO and-so has to stick. Already strong predictions are made that it Is cincb for one team and cinch for another.
 All this being true, thoughts natur- ally turn to local baseball. It is pret- ty generally agreed that Douglas has been spoiled on this subject and that
 the only class Of ball that can secure any patronage to speak of is the best available. In other words, the pros pect isn't at all bright for amateur baseball in Douglas any more. This nay mean that the fans will have to walt until fall. when the seasons back east close. but even with such wait if Is worth the money.
