 ASSOCIATED CHARITIES NEW HOME-A well deserved good fortune has come to the Associated Charities. The city has arranged to pay rent for q permanent home for the organiza- tion and after today it will be located in it's new quarters in the old Parish house of the Episcopal church. IS South Second avenue. The rooms are large and pleasant and admirably suited to the needs of the society and it is expected that it's work will be broader and more efficient than ever. Last year the Associated Charities clothed 500 people. fed 900 and ex- tended help to 1000 more. More than $5.000 passed through it's hands. Surely that is an organization worth while to have in Phoenix All should give it encouragement and support.
 A DESERVING CASE Humane Officer Canning yesterday reported that his attention had been called to the rather pitiful case of a farmer liv- ing near the city, who lost his home and all of his crops on Monday by fire. It seems that this man had been making a bare living for himself and children on a small patch of land north of Phoenix, and had just gathered a rather good crop of milo maize, which he expected to market in a few days On Monday 2 fire was started for the purpose of burning weeds and grass from a ditch near the mans home, and the flames soon reached his place and destroyed the house and all of the crops, leaving the family with abso- lutely no worldly possessions except the few clothes which they happened to be wearing at the time. MT. Can hing states that if anyone has any clothing, bedding or household goods which they feel like donating to this stricken family, he will be glad to call and get the articles and turn them ever to the parties for whom they are intended. The family is at nresent being cared for by their gen crous neighbors.
