Never Before Has Disposi- tion to Spread Good Cheer Been So General in the Growing Capital of State of Arizona
ORGANIZATIONS
 WE'RE AT WORK
Associated Charities, Good fellows, F'raternities, and Churches, and Many Pri- vate Individuals Show Enthusiasm

Phoenix abounded in demonstra- tions of the Christmas spirit yester- day and all indications point to a continuation of that spirit of joy ousness and good cheer today. That Phoenix will be happy in the celebra- tiOn of her Christmas in the good year 1913 goes without saying. Nev- CT probably before in the history of Christmas has there been so wide spread a feeling of fellowship and good will for every Phoenician rich or poor as there is this year. It has been manifested on every hand. No greater indication of this can be shown than by the charitable activi- ties of the people.
 There are many poor folks, unfor tunates who are worthy, poor health seekers to whom the delightful eli mate is proving a boon of the ut most worth, right here in Phoenix. But with almost no exceptions these have been hunted down and some thing is being done for them for Christmas time. There are many or ganizations at work this good Christ mas time for the distribution of good cheer. Lots of the work was done yesterday and more of it will be done today.
 Among the more prominent of these is the Associated Charities, where a force of five women has been busily engaged all week in preparing for Christmas; the GoodfelloWs an organ ization proposed by the Republican and carried to such a successful con- clusion that about sixty little ones and the families they belong to will get a taste of Christmas cheer; the
  always carried to a most satisfac- tory and successful conclusion; the Masons who never fail to do good; the other fraternal organizations and many private exhibitions of largess too numerous to mention.
 The churches of Phoenix have wrought nobly this year in charitable works and the Christmas time was no exception to the rule. The Sunday school Christmas trees were nearly all held with an idea of obtaining from the children of the schools a gift for the poor These were put on the tree. They will be turned over to the proper authorities for distribution immediately. Then there is the Sal vation Army Without the work of the Salvation Army at Christmas time the cities of the United States would TedIIy not appreciate NAiA Asb mas. A week proceeding Christmas the well known kettles have been set on the corners and contributions solicited for the annual distribution of good things the Salvation Army knows so we'll how to conduct.
 When the doors of the Associated Charities closed last evening the will ing workers there went home with a feeling of satisfaction that the work this year had been well done.
