"Places of Small Springs"

The history of the aborigines in Ari
IONA is extensive, for on plains, or
Mesas and in the cliffs there are many
ruins of places occupied by the early
people. Some of these ruins must be
very old. However, it is believed that
the number OF people living in the re-
gion at any time may not have been
great, for the aborigines frequently
moved from place to place. The early
expeditions of the Spanish explorers
found many pueblos. The first Spaniard
to enter Arizona was Marcos de MIA, a
Franciscan friar, who crossed the south
west corner in 1880. A year later Mia
led Coronado to the Pueblo country, and
two small expeditions from this great eX-
ploring party visited the Hopi country.
The present Indian population of the
state is nearly $4,000.
The word Arizona is taken from the
Papago language, in which it is said to
signify place of small springs.-U. S.
geological survey.

Moving the Grown Tree.

Arant there some promising saplirg
wasting their good looks in your wood
lot that you can find time to dig and
plant near the house? Have you an old
shade tree that is getting ready to die,
or bald spot in the yard with no tree
at all? Put in a little one, advises q.
B. Hill in Farm and Home, and you'll
find it pays, not only in beauty and sen.
timent, but in comfort in future dog
days, and in the STABILITY of your place
if you ever want to sell. The job can be
fitted in before the rush of spring work.
In moving the tree, first dig out cir
Gle as near the size of the crown of the
tree as possible, making sure to get all
the roots. Leave the sod on; it holds the
soil together. Cut all broken roots off
smooth
In setting, have the hole deeper than
the roots will reach which insures them
a soft place to start. Spread the roots
naturally and sift in rich surface soil.
The tree must be set no deeper than it
stood naturally; this is so important
that one person had better hold the tree
up while another shovels.
Water the tree if it is planted in its
growing season, otherwise not. Heap
mound of dry soil around the base and
keep this stirred to prevent caking. Don't
let sod form near the tree at first. The
best time to transplant is just before
growth starts, though the fall or late
spring will do. Pick cloudy day for the
work. Prune the top according to the
amount you cut off the roots.

RED CROSS SEAL IDEA

Wants His Children to Become Part

Newton d. Baker, Secretary Of War,

Cross Christmas Seals. A year ago,
when he was still Mayor of Cleveland,
he wrote to the Anti-Tuberculosis
League of that city as follows:
II enclose my check for $1.75 for
this years Seals and also my order
for Seals for 1916. No other
one thing means so much to life,
health and happiness Of the people of
Cleveland as the fight against tuber-
culosis. The League is offering a
great privilege to the people of Cleve-
land in giving them this opportunity
to join their forces in great cause.
please send twenty-five Seals to
each of my children. Address them
Betty, Jack and Peggy Baker, respec-
lively, at my house, 1851 Crawford
Road. / want them each to put seals
on each of their Christmas presents so
that they will learn that they, too, are
partners in the community burden and
share the community opportunity"
Have you bought your Red Cross
Seals and shouldered thereby your
share of the community burden and
opportunity?

JERRY WANTS A LUNG.

Purchase of Red Cross Seals Will Help

Wanted: A good lung This was the
theme of a letter in rhyme received
the other day by the st. Louis Socie-
ty for the Relief and Prevention of
tuberculosis from ten-year-old Jerry
O'Connor, a pupil at the open air
school formerly conducted by that
society His poem, inspired by the
Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale, fol
lows:
Now, if there's a present goin' round
There's just one thing for me,
Ask Santee for one new lung,
A right one-mine'S T. B.
1T. B. is what skinny folks has,
1t kills us poor, weak boys.
SO, in your prayers remember me.
l wish you a thouSan' joys.
"a Merry Christmas to you all,
A song I've often sung
But don't forget dis skinny kid,
And pay for his new lung.
There are thousands Of Jerrys all
over the United States who want new
lungs" and a chance to save their old
ones. The sale of Red Cross Seals
helps to provide open air school, sana-
forum and home care for such boys as
Jerry.

RED CROSS SEAL FIGURES.
325,00o,000 Holiday Stickers Already
Distributed in United States.


Distributed in United States.
Few people have any conception OF
the magnitude Of the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal Campaign. Here are few
figures that will show what a gigantic
movement this is. Already 325,000, 900
Seals have been printed and practical
ly that entire number distributed to
agents in every state and territory of
the Union from Alaska to the Canal
Zone, from Porto Rico to Hawaii, and
even in the far-off Philippines. Ad-
vertising circulars, posters, cards, etc.,
to the number of several millions, have
also been distributed. Not less than
100000 personal letters asking peo-
pie to buy Seals have been sent out.
1t is estimated that the army of work
ers, nearly. all Of whom are volunteers,
engaged in selling the Seals, numbers
we'll over 100000 The advertising
and publicity devoted to the campaign
amounts to several hundred thousand
dollars. Every effort is being put
forth to sell 100,000,000 Seals, or only
one for every man, woman and child
in the United States. This will mean
81, 100000 for the anti-tuberculosis
campaign in the United States. Over
1900 anti-tuberculosis associations of
the country derive their support from
Red Cross Seals.

GRATEFUL. PATIENT BUYS

Tells Why He Supports Great National
Red Cross Christmas Movement.
Personal experience means much in
ones attitude toward the Seals. Will
you let me tell why both gratitude for
the saving of my life and a desire to
help exterminate tuberculosis makes
me buy and use Red Cross Christmas
Seals?" This is a request in letter
from a cured patient in one of Wiscon-
sins County Hospitals for Tuberculo-
sis, who says:
II was shocked to learn in 1910 that
I had consumption. l thought that
was the end of me. Fortunately for
me the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and the American Red Cross had
taken up the task of informing the
nation that pulmonary tuberculosis
can be arrested and perhaps cured by
perfect rest, and freedom from care.
In course of time this good news had
reached Wisconsin and the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association was or
gained to carry the message into ev-
cry corner of the state. Through this
propaganda sanatoria were established
IN various parts of the state. So when
the disease became a very personal
matter to me, there was an institution
near at home to teach me how to
breathe, eat, rest and think, so as to
live with tuberculosis, and at a price
within reach of my moderate purse.
This was all the result of the philan-
thropic propaganda Of these national
organizations and the Wisconsin Anti
tuberculosis Association, to whom /
must always be grateful for my pres
ent health and strength
What Red Cross Seals have done in
Wisconsin they have done and are do
ing in every other state in the Union.
All but ten per cent. Of the proceeds,
which is used for expenses, remains in
the state where the Seals are sold to
be used for tuberculosis work.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Regarding the Mailing of Christmas Parcels.

We believe it unnecessary to go into detail in ex
planning the importance of mailing Christmas par
GELS early. The post office patrons no doubt
realize the great volume of parcel post matter that
passes through the local office during the holiday
season; and this volume is increasing each year,
it can be readily that the difficulty in hand
ling is also increased. While it is the purpose of
the postal employees to give prompt and efficient
SERVICE the cooperation of the public is necessary
AS parcels may be endorsed with do not open
before Christmas similar inscriptions
quest that parcels be mailed at the earliest date
possible. Wrap parcels securely; address plainly
be sure each parcel has the and address of
sender.
Any information that the public may desire
garding Christmas mailing will be gladly fur
nished at the Post office.
