CHRISTMAS ON THE OFFTRAIL-

And we've come 80 far away:
Aud in the lonesome shadows
They are waiting. waiting waiting
For those who'vc lost the road thai leads
Ia homc on Christmas day.
We met our mate. the tramping wind.
and 50 We let il lead us
From one with rose blood in her veins
and sunshine in her hair:
ID called ~ from 4 mother who We
thought would never need a.
Until the gray December winds
brought her III silent prayer.
For Christmas on the %oiftrail
Isn't what W. used Ia think il:
The little horns are calling
With the roll beat of the drum:
And a. We lift our mocking toast
And s~uiicnly We drink it,.
\ Kid calls "Mothcr-Mother-"
Aud We know how far we've omc
Gray ghosts across the drifting wears.
They come urun our dreaming.

From weary eyes that look In vain be-

YOUNG PRIcE MAI sEE WAR

ROME. Sept. l7.-Flags were dis played throughout the capital yester- day and the people kept a general holiday because of the fact that it was the tenth birthday anniversary of Prince Humbert, heir apparent to the throne of Italy. At ten years Of age the future King has all but reached mans estate, according to the standard prevailing in the Latin countries and in consequence he is now a figure of much importance in the official world. He is destined for a naval career. following in the footsteps of his distinguished cousin the Duke of the Abruzi Tn fact little Prince Humbert already has had his first taste of life at sea on board one of Italy's modern dreadnoughts. He is now. regularly enrolled as mid. shipman in the navy and in the event that Italy becomes involved in the present general warfare it is not im- probable that the future King may be given his baptism of fire ere he pass. es another birthday anniversary.

AMERICAN RESORTS TO BENEFIT

NEW YORK. Sept 17.-More than $1OO,0OOOOO annually expended bv American healthseekers. who. during recent years. have felt themselves de penent upon the European spas. is expected in future to be diverted Co American resorts, where as effica- cious treatment can be obtained. Ac. cording to the medical scientists America has springs whose waters are just as efficacious in the treat. ment of certain complaints as are the famous spas at Carlsbad, Baden Baden Nauheim and other European resorts which have been very popular with wealthy Americans.
 In addition. it is pointed out by the scientists and medical man that. fin view of the situation in Europe. it is likely that the near future will see artificial radium baths established in allthe principal American cities and that these will supDlant the European spas. Institutions already have been established in some American cities where the European spas treatment may be taken by the use of prepared radium drinking solutions, radium baths, radium earth packs etc.
 A careful estimate of the annual ex- penditures by American patients who journey to the European spas is placed well above the S100. 100000 mark. This sum, which has gone to foreign-owned companies and Euro bean hotels, will. it is pointed out. be kept in the Unite States and add an- other imposing figure to the list of tremendous Outlays of money that will be diverted from Europe in the ext few years as a result of the war.

WILL CONSIDER CITY
 BUDGET THIS EVENING
City Council Meets Tonight and a Very Interesting Session
 Is Expected

The city council will meet this evening, as provided by law, to con- sider the city budget for the ensuing year. the same embracing every de- parment of the city government and the expense of operation of each during the next twelve months
 Should the budget stand as pre- pared originally. it is very likely that the city tax rate for the current year will be in the neighborhood of $1S1 on each one hundred dollars assess ed valuation, but it is understood that the Commercial Club has prepared detailed list of amendments to the budget, which it will submit to the council at tonight's meeting, and should the amendments be adopted by the city fathers it is said the tax rate will be brought down sixty cents thereby resulting in the rate being fixed at S12O or thereabouts.

MARICOPA DEMOCRATS URGING BISBEEITE
 FOR GUARDIANSHIP
c. c. Thompson, Formerly of Bisbee, Is Slated To Lead the MariCopa County Demo-
 cratS To Victory in November

According to the Phosnix papers. C. C. Thompson. well known in Bisbee and formerly engaged in business here is being urged to accept the demo cratic chairmanship of Maricopa coun- ty.
 Mir Thompson has always been an ardent worker in the ranks of democ- racy in Arizona. and is a dyedin-the- wool Missouri democrat Prior to the primary election his friends through out Maricopa county had urged him 10 make the race for the legislature, but bis work would not permit him to enter the race.
 Maricopa democratic politicians in- sist that Mir Thompson accept the chairmanship of the party, he being the most logical man for the place and one in whom much confidence could be placed in successfully manag- ing the partys affairs during the coming campaign for state and county officers

OPPORTUNITY FOR
 METAL MANUFACTURERS

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept 17-Of the metals and metallic ores the United States has been both an i'm porter and an exporter. Our imports of iron ore are double our exports, whereas of metalli copper the United States exports early twice as much as it imports. The general rule. how ever, probably is that the imports of manufacturered of partly manufac. tured metals largely exceed in value the ores and cude metals brought in- to this country for domestic manu- factures, and in the exports a some what similar ratio exists between cruda material and manufactures, SO that there is presented a double op- portunity for increasing the scope and extent of American metal industries for both domestic consumption and export.

A. E. PERSON HERE BOOSTING DEMOCRAT
 OFFICE SEEKERS
Political Agent For State Ticket With Several County AffiIia-

 in Warren District Working

A. E pierson, one of the best known Of the younger democrats of this state and am active worker for several of the democratic candidates in the pri. maries. is again in Bisbee on a poli- tical mission He arrived last even tug from Tombstone. and will remain several days He is this time making in their order all the important cen ters of the state in behalf of the whole democratic ticket He will rec main in Bisbee until he has complet- ed a canvas of the larger political leaders and has established working organisms to carry out the democratic program for the fall election as de- yised by state leaders.
 CT am working for the whole stt C and county democratic ticket" said Pierson last evening. "I have a lot of boosting to do. am carrying on that hoos1ng in varioIs manners. But the ctief thing I am telling the voters. beside the fact that they should sup port tbe whole list. is that the names Of their democratic superior and su. preTe judges, and he names 3f thtir democratic tax commissioners wil an pear in the indcpeudent column Cn the fall ballot, J' fres of all rank. especially, are run ia the general e.ec- iicn without Tayty designation. and it is important that the voters rsllize this. There is 9 danger that the yo,tr may cast his ballot for the man whom he does net wish 10 support. r1less he knew before ga ng to the nojls that he will find his mans name in thr independent -an.s and in alpho. brtial uIor."

 In Phoenix, says Pierson, there is as little known of the general out. ome of the state eletion as is locally known. No one knows as vet just what majority one candidate has over another. There is nothing but guess as to the man who has been chosen In such cases as that of Bolin and Hanson, where it is generallq conced. ed that the former has won by 165 votes. However, there is nothing def mite about this, and will be nothine until after the official vote is return. ed by the secretary of state.

 John J. Bowen of Bisbee, was in the city yesterday for the first time sine the primary election Mir Bow en has been rated among the promln ent Democrats of the Warren ristrict for the past fifteen years During that time he was a member of the board of supervisors for six years. Speaking of the democratic ticket in this coun- ty, as the result of the recent pri- mary MT.

 MT. Bowen's name has been men toned among others in connection with the chairmanship of the demo cratic county central committee. The name of E. A.
