A Worthy Work

There is work to be done Phoenix and vicinity there is be done in all parts of the country for support of the families of many of the militiamen who have been called to the border We understand that been positive suffering in several fam flies in this city whose heads other support have been called away
 Most married members of the militia were en- gagged in employment sufficiently remunerative support their families in comfort In the of all a few whose employers have generously arranged to keep them the payroll durr.5 their service the border this support has been withdrawn and nothing has substituted for it except the meager pay of the private in the United States army.
 In many places these have been taken up systematically by local bodies and understand that something has been done here in private way the relief of needy families of mihuamen National guard officials have the matter in hand and are ceiving the assistance of the Chamber of Commerce. But there will have to be generous response by citizens.
 At the same time a call is made upon the energies of the Red Cross which in Phoenix is pretty well ganized but has had much to d.. appears that will considerable work before it and it should be well supportedA Here is opportunity for Phoenix to make display of public spirit.
 As to the care of the families of the militiamen we have the following mention by Hartford Cour of a plan which has been adopted there. We do not not offer It as a suggestion but matter of interest.
 It is certain that if the men who go out with the Connectcut national guard at the call of the president have be away from their work anc Sneir homes for any considerable length of time there will be need to help the dependent left behind The pay of soldier is small. For single man. with no dependent relatives will suffice for he gets his board lodging and clothing in event But that will not help the folks back home. There will be house rent clothes wife and children fuel and expenses of all sorts

GOODYEAR DONATES
 GUARD WAR BALLOON

As material and practical evidence of it's desire to cooperate fully with the government in building up the na- tional defense, and it's interest in the national preparedness program. The Goodyear Tire X Rubber Company, Ak ron. Ohio. has presented to Battery B, Ohio Field Artillery, stationed at Ak ron. fully equipped military kite bal loon ready for immediate use. Thus Goodyear earns the distinction of fur nishing the first kite balloon ever owned by' the national guard in any state The balloon is of the same type as the one recently delivered to the U. $. navy for use at the naval aero nautic station at Pensacola Florida! | It was designed and made entirely in | the Goodyear factory. Goodyear re- gently sent an aeronautic expert abroad 1 to make a scientific study of kite bal loon development, to be better able to assist the IT. S. government in building up it's aeronautic service.
 The balloon just donated to the ma : tional guard is the very latest develop ment in kite balloons and embodies many scientific principles which have been worked out exclusively by Good year aeronautic engineers.
 The importance of kite balloons ir present day military campaigns is em- phasized by the multiplicity of bal looms now in use in Europe. On tht European battle fronts they are placed at frequent intervals to insure aeria surveys of the entire front constantly and indispensable.
 Undoubtedly Goodyears gift to tn, Ohio national guard will mark the be ginning of a very considerable develop
 ment in this exceedingly important arn | of the service.

Do net churn your cream at home
in The belief that it will pay you bet
ter than taking it to the creamery
there is nothing that will pay you
better than the cooperative creamery.
There are nearly thousand coop
erative creameries ia Minnesota. Why
are there so many if it is not the best
way for the farmer to market and
sell his butter? Cooperation means
the working together of all for the
good of all. A cooperative creamery
cannot do it's best when number of
farmers are working against it, and
if you are not taking your cream
there you are therefore against it..
'.He who is not with me is against
me-"
The creamery at Eagle River is a
cooperative creamery run for the
benefit of the farmer. So please bring
in your cream or ship it and give the
creamery an opportunity to show
what it can do for you.

With her own peculiar wisdom Glen
had written not about him or herself,
then dropped the letter to his lap. His
hands fell clenched at his sides. His
eyes, grown large, stared out down the
long vista of the mind. Walls faded
away and the sounds Of great ship

ears came instead the caroling of birds
in evening song after rain, to his eyes

love, leads a man up. Alan was feel

seemed a quite natural thing that the
girl who had taken charge of him on
his arrival on board should knock at
his door and then walk in. She drew
out camp-stool and sat down beside
him.
She was very small and very young,
not in years but with what Alan
termed to himself acquired youth. Her
nearsighted eyes peered out through
big glasses. They seemed to see only
when they made a special effort, and
yet they seemed to give out light.
"You are better?" she asked, and
smiled.
Alan caught his breath at that smile.
''Yes," he said, Il am much better to-
day. 1 have had a letter from home"
You must get up now and come
up on deck" said the girl. "rll wait

1t was with some miSgivings that
Kemp left Alan at the coast. Alan was
still very weak. Kemp stood, more in
congruous than ever. against the rail
of the little coaster bound for Pernam-

Alan smiled. 81 know what your

I'm all right. Weak. but I'll make it.
Don't worry"
Kemp was standing in angles. His
hands were thrust in his trousers peck
crooked. One foot was raised on a
rail. He was coatless as usual His
unbuttoned vest stuck out behind. His
Stetson hat was pulled well down over
his eyes. His eyes had taken on the
PARKWAY and slightly luminous look
that always came into them when he
was about to speak from the heart.
"Mr. Wayne" he said, 1--WE toll you

stands. Lieber's Twin in hell, like a
rich greaser in the Bible with his
