The Battles Mothers Fight

When was there a generation since boys were born that women did not go to war? Never had a bayonet lunged into the breast of a soldier that had not already cooled it's hot wrath in the heart of a mother. While the soldier has fought through one battle, the mother has wandered over score of slaughter fields, looking for his man gled body He sings and plays the rough games of outdoor men, in camp for month, and then goes out to fight one skirmish. But every day and night of the thirty the mother has walked through hundred alarms that never were. She has watched on the lonely picket post. She has paced the sentry heat before his tent. She has prayed beside him while he slept. The throbs of her heart have been the beads of her rosary. If a mother should write her story of the war she would pluck a white hair from her temple and dip the living stylus into the chalice of her tears to write the diary of the days upon her heart Robt.

MERCHANTS TAKE ADVANTAGE
 OF YOUR ADVANTAGES

Every merchant has better chance to do business with the people in his neighborhood than has the far-away mail order house.
 It doesn't cost him as much to get trade as it costs the outsider.
 He can draw the people to his store and show them the actual article they are interested in; and this beats cata- logs to frazzle.
 When his customers buy they can take the goods with them or have them delivered at once, instead of waiting from one to two weeks longer
 The home merchant is on the inside track. But the trouble too often is that instead of pushing his business through advertising, like the far-away mail order house does, he sits idly by and cusses his luck and unfair compe- tition.
 Don't hide your light behind g bushel. The public likes an aggres- sive business man. And they like to do business with that kind. Be on the offensive, not defensive -Gadsden Clarion.

POSSIBLE SOURCE OF POTASH

Following Secretary Lanes instruc- tion to put special effort into its pot ash investigations, the United States Geological Survey is publishing the suggestion that a possible source of potash may exist in the tailings piled up at the concentrating mills of the big copper mines in the West. The "porphyry" ores which are being mined by the millions of tons annually contain several times as much potash as copper, and this remains in the tailing at the mills, material already finely ground and in condition for treatment, as well as easily accessible for shipment. This potash, however, is locked up in the form of silicate minerals, and the commercial extrac- ton of potash from silicates has been for several years the subject of earn est study by industrial chemists. If this problem can be solved, it would appear that a large tonnage of pot ash-bearing material is available in the Western States.

Back to Arizona

Take me back to Arizona, where there's plenty of room and air, Scrub oak, pinon, malapai rock and also prickly pear, Where they use the long riata and the fancy Spanish bit, And ride the desert ponies-the kind that never quit. Take me where there ain't no subways nor forty-story shacks, Where they shy at automobiles, dude plug hats and three-rail tracks; Where the dear old muddy stands that seldom ever flows, Makes green the canons' bottoms where the Spanish peony grows; Where there's rattlesnakes, Gila mon- sters, horned toads and ticks, Where a stack of whites costs twenty and they don't sell gilded bricks. Take me where there's diamond thieves, ropes, brands and cartridge belts,
 Where the boys wear chaps for brooches, flannel shirts and Stetson felts,
 Where the old sun-tanned prospector dreams of wealth and pans his dirt, Where the sleepy night herd puncher sees his steers and plies his quirt- Take me where there's silver, where there's copper, gems and gold, Oh, take me back to Arizona and let me die, now I am old.

Some Slinging the Slush

A Washington dispatch reads; Mrs. McAdoo, wife of the secretary of the treasury and 3. daughter of President Wilson, appeared on the street today with cane. It was an ebony hued cane with a crooked handle, inlaid with silver. Now and then she hooked it over her arm."
 How interesting! And what a dis play of journalistic ingenuity in fer reting out and dishing up to staid world the really important events of the day. But this Solomon of the press neglected to tell us the length of the cane, it's size and weight, the store from which it was purchased and the angle at which it was carried. Such omissions are reprehensible in modern journalism.

A Bitter Fate

A number of local Grand Army veterans were having a reunion, and were entertaining brother members from neighboring state. Some Of the visiting veterans protested against certain proposed legislation by the state assembly.
 One of the speakers became so ve- hement in his remarks and painted the situation so despairingly that an earnest auditor, overwhelmed by the oratory, jumped to his feet and cried excitedly:
 Comrades, is it possible that we died in vain ?"

Just the Right Present

Don't take chances in the matter of Christmas presents. You don't want yours, like so many others, to be re- ceived with indifference or worse, and ten days after Christmas to be cast aside and forgotten.
 You take no such chance in giving The Youths Companion for year.
 Did you ever know of home in which it came amiss, or of one in which it was not conspicuous on the library table or in some one's hands all through the year?
 It is worth while to make gift of that sort, and it is worth while to re- ceive it, too, for The Companion illu- strates the best traits in American life in it's stories and sketches, up- holds the best standards in it's articles and other contributions, and combines the practical and informing with the entertaining and blood-stirring.
 If you do not know the Companion as it is today, let us send you one or two current issues free, that you may thoroughly test the papers quality. We will send also the Forecast for 1916.
 Every new subscriber who sends S2.00 for the fifty-two weekly issues of 1916 will receive free ali the issues for the rest of 1915 and The Con- panion Home Calendar for 1916.-The Ynnth,s Communion. Boston. Mass.

POS1MASTERS OF STATE
 CONVENE IN PHOENIX

Over fifty postmasters including a dozen women were present at the opening session of the ninth con vention of the Postmasters' associa- tion of Arizona, last Friday, After the opening address by President Will son T. Wright, of Globe, Congressman Carl Hayden delivered an adress in which he complimented the postmas- ters on the efficient way in which they were administering the postal busi- ness. He said that the records of the department at Washington show that Arizona never had better postal ser vice than at the present time.
 He then discussed the appointment of postmasters under the civil service regulations and expressed the opinion that presidential postmasters would not be given a classified status. He also said that there was no immediate prospect that civil pension list would be established to which postal employees would be eligible.
 "The experience which this govern ment has had with the great increase in the pensions of soldiers and sailors, who risked their lives for their coun- try" he said, makes many congress- men oppose pensions or retired pay for the 100000 civil employees of the gov ernment."
 President Wright, in opening, read an address sent by the first assistant postmaster to the late Postmaster C., B. Wood, with the request that he should have it read at the convention. Inspector Dutton turned it over to the president of the association.
 The address was very interesting and it was a pleasure of those present to note the interest in their delibera- ton on the part of this official. The closing paragraph says:
 "For the fiscal year 1895, the gross receipts for Arizona were S94 4,500; for the fiscal year 1915 they were s62S, ,S30 "a growth of 560 per cent in twenty years. Those figures indicate the ra- pidly increasing responsibilities of Arizona postmasters, and from the satisfactory reports received at the department, of the manner in which you are responding to these respons- Utilities, believe it is safe to say that the state of Arizona never before had a more efficient and effective body of postmasters than now, and that the service in your state was never in better condition"
 Inspector c. F. Dutton, of Arizona, and Inspector F. E. Jarvis, of the Sacramento division of the postal ser vice in California also delivered prac- tical adresses.
 The officers of the association are, Wilson T. Wright, of Globe, presi- dent; James L. Byrnes, of Flagstaff, vice president; A. T. Pancrazi, of Yuma, secretary. There are 335 post offices in the state of Arizona.

NORMAL GIRLS WIN
 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

 was reached when the returns of the basket ball games in the Valley were received last week. Much was expect ed but more was realized.
 The N. A. N. s. played series of three games, the Phoenix game being the first one played. The girls met the high school team on their own grounds at p. m. Tuesday. The score 3S-17, in favor of Flagstaff, speaks for itself. Among the on- lockers were players of former Flag staff teams who have graduated, Mesa's coach, High School principal and some of their players.
 The game was closely watched by many to gain clue as to the plays of the Flagstaff team, but the N. A. N. S. girls were careful to keep their best plays for time they would be needed most. Miss Ruby Curtis went in during the last few minutes of the game for Miss Van Deren, who was slightly disabled.
 Mesa 1S-Flagstaff 21.
 On Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock, the Mesa and Northern Nor maj teams met on the Phoenix High School court. The game was the fast est of the season. The Mesa girls lived up to their past reputation, and. at the end of the first half, the score was 12-10 in their favor. Our girls came off the field with smile, but underneath it was a look which said, "Well win. Just wait and sec"
 Flagstaff came into the second half ready for the real stuff: Lee and An derson to score, Van Deren and Bun" to do tall playing, Daze and Hanley to intercept forward passes, Curtis and Robertson to play when needed.
 About the middle of the last half, the score tied. Here the excitement was at such a pitch that the onlookers held their breath and the players hardly dared to think.
 But the girls from the pines out played the Mesa team and won stead fly. The final score was 21-1S for Flagstaff.
 Those responsible for the showing made by Mesa were Misses Shumway and Bonds, the forwards, and Misses Ellsworth and Morris, the guards. The centers and forwards of the N. A. N. S. team did some swift playing, and, with the guards holding down their men, did wonderful team work.
 Tempe-Flagstaff
 It was seen from the very start of the Tempe game that the Flagstaff girls had their opposing school team beaten in every way, especially in team work. It is evident, however, that this feeling was not shared by Tempe, for before the game began some one, noticing the bandaged fingers and ankle braces of the N. A. N. S. team, remarked that the South ern Normal, would have an easy vic tory over "that crippled up team" It turned out differently however.
 Both teams played splendidly, but at the end of the first half the score was 10-20 in favor of Flagstaff, and the end of the game found the N. A. N. S. girls in possession of the long half of the 31-16 score.
 It was reported that the finest spirit was manifested in this and in both of the other games Every player showed that she was true sport,--- square to the last minute. The line up for the victorious team was as fol- lows:
 Leila Lee (Captain), forward.
 Kathleen Anderson, forward.
 Mary Hanley, guard.
 Leora Daze, guard.
 Alta Van Deren, center.
 Vernice Misenheimer, center.
 Ruby Curtis, substitute.
 Alleen Robertson, substitute.
