MISSIONARY NOTES
(BY MRS. ]. S. REES.l

A most interesting meeting of the
Woman's Auxiliary was held Monday
afternoon at First Methodist church.
After a song service and a respon-
sive reading of the 91st Palm, the
Scripture Lesson II Corinthians, Sv,
was ably represented by Mrs. Everette
of Thomasville.
The theme of the lesson was an ear
nest appeal to the members of the
auxiliary for an intense conservation
to service and a cheerful Hberality Of
gifts. That AN emulation of the Scrip
ture teaching would mean an entreaty
for the acceptance of gifts.
Instructive selections from the Coun-
Gil Daily, paper published by the Wo-
mans Missionary Council during the
recent session at Little Rock, Ark,
were read by a member of the local
auxiliary.
Listening to these enthusiastic delib-
erations of the Woman's Council, one
is ready to say with Miss Bennett, 1--WE
have entered upon a new day; glad
day."

A PRAYER FOR PEACE

1t is the time of the flowing of new
ties of life. The frost that bound the
land is gone, and the soul that was
imprisoned in the bulb has broken the
rotten hull and is climbing to the
beauty in the sunlight; the sap that
fled with the building of fires is run
ming along the limbs and twigs that
are bursting into snow and flame.
presage and promise new harv
"est-home and heaped-up bins Of food.
In the woodland there is song and the
preparation for new life; and even the
heart of man is gay, though taking
thought for the days and the seasons
that are not yet come, plannig for the
laying up of treasure against the years
that may be lean.
God in thy heaven, make all right
with the world. These days of life are
also days of death; the fields that are
fit for flowers are also fit for cannon;
on ten thousand farms there is foot
ing for every weight of war machine.
Keeper of mems passions, we pray
that, if it may not be before the fall
ing of the flowers, then before the
ripening of the fruit the men at war
will go trooping home as children,
tired after play, turn eagerly to their
mothers. Daily will we pray thus
and hope. Amen!

The following poem concluded the
address of Mrs. Luke Johnson on
Womanhood and World Peace:
What have I done to you, Brothers,
War Lord and Land Lord and
Priest,
That my son should rot on the blood
smeared earth where the raven
and buzzard feast.
He was my baby, my man-child, that
soldier with shell-torn breast,
Who was slain for your power and
proft-aye, murdered at your
behest.
bore him, my boy and my manling.
while the long months ebbed
away
He was part of me, part of my body,
which nourished him day by
day.
He was mine when the birth-pang tore
me, mine when he lay on my
heart,
When the sweet mouth mumbled my
bosom and the milk-teeth made
it smart
Babyhood, boyhood and manhood, and
a glad mother proud of her
See the carrion birds, too gorged to
fly! Oh! Brother what have
you done?

our stead" An appropriate musical

say that the beautiful LEAD On, O.

MAKING HOME
ATTRACTIVE

Slovenly wives often drive husbands
TO drink, according to Mr.. A. ]. Sar-
geant, chief probation officer of the
Boston municipal court. Mr.. Sergeant
suggests that whenever a man is ar
rested for drunkenness, MS home
should at once be investigated, and if
1t is found to be slovenly kept, the
wife should be arrested along with the
husband and should receive the same
sentence. That men are often driven
to spend their evening away from
home because the home is untidy and
unattractive there can be no doubt.
This is equally true in the case of'the
children as they grow older. On the
other hand it is just as true that it is
difficult to get men away from their
homes after the days work is over
when the home is made bright and at
tractive and family love is strong. The
children, too, as they grow up, never
cease to look upon such home as the
dearest spot on earth. Never before

TWO VIEWS OF
HIGH SOCIETY

President Wilson was quite right
when in his Berea College speech he
said the world could dispense with
high society and never miss it. High
society" said Mr. Wilson, sis for those
who have stopped working and no
longer have anything important to do"
The president might have spoken in
even stronger terms, and still have
been within reason. The world has
little use for those whose only inter
est is to find some new and extrava-
giant form of diversion and amusement,
who squander thousands of dollars on
single evenings entertainment that
shocks the moral sense of all but the
participants. But all who have wealth
and leisure do not belong to this class.
There are hosts of women today who
are devoting large part of their time
to work for social betterment simply
because they feel they ought to do
something to improve the condition of
their fellows.
There are cases, also, where So
ciety women give up a definite portion
of their time to the prosaic study of
the Bible. For five years some eighty
or more society women in New York
have met as the Wednesday Morning
Bible class throughout the winter sea-
son. The bible and foreign missions
have been the subjects of their study.
Mrs. Nathaniel B. Potter was the or
ganizer of the class and among those
associated with her are Mrs. John F.
Pratt, Mrs. Orme Wilson, Mrs. Francis
G. Bishop, Mrs. Lewis Iselin and Mrs
John Jacob Astor. One feature of their
work has been the erection of a hos
pital at Wuchang, China. 1t is a good
plan to set over against the frivolous
doings of high society serious and ear
nest undertakings like the above.

ECHOES FROM THE
COUNCIL DAILY

Even before the opening of the meet
ing at Little Rock, the following tele-
gram was received: Greetings from
First Methodist Church, Atlanta. Coun-
Gil cordially invited to meet in At
lanta next year."
We are pleased to state tie Invita-
tion was accepted with a glad thank
you" on the part of the council.
There was sepcial service set apart
by the council for the consideration of
world peace.
An organization called the Woman's
Peace Party, was inaugurated.
The discussions attendant upon this
meeting were replete with appeals for
a great movement to settle all strife,
all differences, by arbitration in the
name of justice and the name of peace,
rather than by strife"
DR.. Ed F. Cook spoke on "Disarma-
ment of the Nations" He says: "Im-
mense and expensive armament, for
whatever purpose they may exist, are
out of harmony with the spirit of Je-
sus Christ, our Lord, and are con-
tinual contradiction to the doctrine of
the brotherhood of man, and we ought
to find armament and all that arma-
ment means repugnant in the ex-
treme."

The committee on Extension Work
submitted a resolution on can En-
trance Into Japan" This was debat-
able issue in council. After a lengthy
discussion for and against, vote was
taken with the result in favor Of the
new work being undertaken.
Miss Bennett says: "a new era has
dawned, and after years of materialism
Japan is recognizing the power OF
Christianity"
The missionaries of Latin-America
are to be accorded more recognition
than heretofore, if plans already form
ulated develop as anticipated. Miss
Bennett and Miss Head are among the
number interested in this movement.
Our slogan must be am auxiliary in
every church, and every woman a

SAGE AND SULPHUR
 OARKENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, Iifelcss locks and they become dark,
 glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses it's color and Iustre or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by d lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up q mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this oldtime recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix ture by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound which dark ems the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall ing hair. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a, time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what de- lights the ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that, besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after a few applications. it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an ap- pearance of abundance.-Advertis ment

AMUSEHENTS
CRISIS ADMIRABLE
 PLAY 0f OLD SOUTH

Winston Churchill supplied dramatic literature with one of the most charm ing stories to come out of the great ci- vii war, when he wrote The Crisis" It's particular charm lies not in heroic battle scenes that have for their punch great ensembles of blue and gray coat ed men striving for the mastery of po- sitlons. On the contrary it tells of the passions which led brother to battle right of conviction.
 The Crisis is war play without war. Laid in the dreamy southland mid the hospitable people of the south. 1t deals with people who have passed with the south of yesterday, but who in passing left memories that will always keep place in history. "The Crisis IS filled with so many clever lines. One should remember that it is strongly appealing to even the northern bred. The quaint old fashioned courtesy of
 the southerner. the humOr of the dark
 ies. the loyalty of the sons and daugh-
 ters of the states to what they thought their just convictions is told in a style
 that makes the Crisis q mighty pretty play. If for no other reason the Colum- oia will do good business thisy week, because the Crisis takes ono back to e-bclums says and in the production which Mr. Redmond has given the play the slightest details have beenadmirab- ly worked out. The hoop skirts the stocks the Irock coats and the high hats are all there. The Crisis is q
 good play, it is done as only MT. Red = ! mond does his plays and it fits the company like glove.

Alice Lemarquc Rcdcwill Receives Ovation on Her First Appearance After Absence of Two Years Brilliant Program

It was a genuine pleasure to the many friends of Miss Alice Redewi'i to hear her in recital again last night Fresh from the triumph of her recent apeparance in Los An geles, she played with a virility and enthusiasm that completely capt;va- ted the audience and brought ap- plyause that was spontaneous and rapturous. However well Phoenix may be entitled to it's reputation for coldncss, it extended a warmth of which must have been extremely gratifying to her.
 It is two years since this young woman was last heard in Phoenix and during that time she has grown very considerably, and her work iustifies the many commendatcry things that have been said about her. Her technique is splendid 2nd her left hand work is exceptional in it's excellence. This was particu larly noticeable in Liszt's "Walt2 Impromptu' which was so vocifef- cusly appreciated that an encore had to be given.
 In a program which gave full scope to her talents, Miss Redewill was heard to particular advantage in the Bach Prelude and Fuguc Vol. I. No. 3; Brahms Lullaby Op i 117, No. 1. and the Intermezzo Op 117, No. ,. In the Lullaby and h. tcrmezzo. her execution was of the highest order and delighted the au- dience.

Unique Pilgrimage Planned As Part of Campaign to Secure Location Here of $1,000,000 Moose Tuber- cular Sanitarillm

As part of the unremitting cam paign to secure for the Salt River Valley the proposed $1,00O,000 Moose Tubercular Sanitarium, George w. Voltz, one of the active workers of Phoenix lodge, No. 70S, Loyal Order of Moose, has come forward with one of the most unique advertising plans of recent year. This consists of d pilgrimage to Mooseheart.

 The pilgrimage will consist of Voltz and four companions, and one hundred products of the local burro market. The burros will be the main attraction and will be covered with placards telling where they come from, the advantages of that place and how to get there. Mooseheart, H.. is the Mecca of the excursion, and it is expected that the pilgrims will reach there in about six months averaging about 15 miles a day on the trip.
 Chaperoning 100 pesky little bur ros is going to be some task, but the larger the caravan the more the ad- vertisement Publicity both for the valley and the local lodge is the ob- iect. The location of the big Moose SanitaIium for the treatment of members of the Loyal Order of Moose is to be selected in the fu- ture To have the valley selected for the site of this great institution is the ernest wish of all Moose here. If it is brought here il will be a great boost for the enterprise and get there ability of the members of local 70S.
 The miniature mules will be laden with camping outfits, and special literature printed to set forth the wonders of Phoenix and vicinity. This will be distributed along the route.
 Fl Paso will be the first objective point of the caravan. From there all towns on the itinerary having Moose lodges will be visited and To- cal brethern enlisted in the army of workers pulling for the ultimate location of the great sanitarium here.
