NO HUNGRY MAN
 NEED BE UNITED
Tickets at Balke's for the Needy and
 Aged

There will be no reason why every man in Phoenix above the age of fifty cannot have a turkey dinner tomorrow. If there is no other way for him to get it let him be the guest of R. l.. Bake of Balke's Big CuriO Store. MT Bake will be at his store until noon tomorrow and the unfortunate are in vited to call and receive tickets good for a turkey dinner at the Golden Rule The dinner will be followed by d good cigar.
 MT Bake when he decided to see that the hungry should be well fed at least one day in the year, said that he had an unusually good year in business and it had somehow come to him that all the good things that are showered upon a man are not intended for him alone but it is meant that a part of them are to be passed along to others who have been less fortunate.
 Mir. Bake will make an effort to assure himself that those who are giV- en tickets actually need them but in all cases where there is any doubt, the applicant will be given the benefit of it for it is better that ten unworthy should be fed than that one deserving man should be denied.

the admiral himself, who distributes them accord

But the greatest gift that Sanity can bestow
falls to the lot of those who, through some mis-

their conversation. Pie, turkey and plum duH
are the three great delicaces to the sailors, and
they have more respect for them than for the
three graces.
What kind of feed is the commissary gonna
hand us?" one sailor asks of another. During this
time of anticipation excitement runs high and the
commissary is a very much respected person In
fact he is retired person, for his billet Is
hard one to fill to the satisfaction of every one
who eats at the general mess. There is always
some old tar or other who imagines himself to
be sighted by the quality of his food, and the
apprentice boys take from him the habit OF COM
