Where the People
 May Have Hearing
The Arizona ChiIdren's Home

To the Editor of The Reublican:
 Sir-On visit to Tucson during University Week | had the pleasure of q trip 10 the Arizona Children's Home. where thirty children are at present being taken care of by an association of Arizona women, and I am sure that if the public understood matters better these little ones and many other poor little people would have a hearing that would he con- ducive of results in financial way.
 The Chldrens Home is in fairly good quarters, with big yard, but found that lockers are especially needed in which to keep the clothing, and I believe that most every home has clothing that will never be used again that might well go to this home where it would he of great value. | It seems that there are many mar red people in the state without chill dren who might well take a special ! interest in the little ones in this in ! stitution, and there are many men . who have made their fortunes here who could give much to make these orphan children happy and place the home beyond want.
 It is the aim of this home to take children temporarily when parents are unable to care for them on account of sickness or for any other sufficient reason: to take children who have lost their parents, and to take chil- dren for whom it expects to find 1 homes for a time, or for adoption
 Upon investigation one would not he's itate to pronounce this worthy in stitution and well worth the peoples interest, and l am taking the liberty to state that each county has a super intendent who would be happy to givt any information desired, and that thu superintendent for Maricopa county i: Mrs. W. W. Edwards, of 1104 NOrtf Second street Phoenix.
 l understand that this institution i' soon to join the International Associ ation of Childrens Homes, by whici it will merit the same recognition a! any other children's home, and l an sure it will be a godsend to many ; poor. homeless child, if the people bu take the proper interest in it and i this letter prove stimulus that func tions in action. Respectfully.

 Growing bolder;
 And he wears a coat of jet, Witl. a scarlet epaulet
 On each shoulder

 Swings his mate;
 And he sings to her in glee His one ditty, "O-ka -lee!-
 Long and late.
 Ii she fails to notice that.
 Like a nimble acrobat
 Down ne goes
 To the ground-forgets to sing, But 10 her his flaming wing
 Proudly shows.
 Sort of military way

 For maid
 Nll discard some common chaps For pair of shoulder straps
 On parade.
 Thus does each her preference tell And 'All's well that endeth well!
 So I've heard;
 -And this equally applies
 Unto each, as I surmise-
 Girl, or bird.
 Happy 'tis. for bird and maid,
 When the red and tinsel fade
 With the years.
 If sweet sorgs, sung tenderly- As he red-wing's "O-ka -lee,"
 Greet their ears.

 Upon other theory than that many Roosevelt remained home and that many progressives naturally took part in republican primaries can the extraordinary lighness of the vote be explained.

A WOMAN'S STORY

one type of savers whose experiences are helpful to others is persons who have had particularly hard luck but who have taken fresh starts and won out in spite ot circumstances. There are few accom- plishments more praiseworthy than a complete recovery by a man or woman past the prime Of life, or possibly middle age.
 Listen to this story: One woman went to New York after she was fifty years old and. having passed the dreaded age limit, was compelled finally to give up the idea of continuing in office posi- ton. Without even enough money to pay q weeks board, she accepted posi- ton as cook at q salary of $25.00 q month and board. Such an unenviable situa ton would seem to point straight to an , oppressive grind for the remainder of ones days, but with a stout heart she be- gan to save every penny possible. When she had accumulated a few hundred dol lars she bought some Long Island lots, and gradually she added to them. until now she has taken good profits out of several purchases, ana is comfortably fixed for her old age.
 Her comment on the result ought to be an inspiration to every young person in the country. If an elderly woman can do as much, what wonderful possibilities there are for the young.
 Such experiences put to shame the idlng young men and women who shrug their shoulders and say they can't save any thing.

NUUANU VALLEY
HAD MUCH rain
IN YEAR 1914

Figures compiled at the United
States photographic office by Super
irtendent George K harrison and his
assistants show an interesting COM
parison of rainfall in Nuuanu valley
for the last three years.
At the Pail the rain gauge is placed
at an elevation of 1900 feet II re-
corded during 1913 a fall of 1101 in
ches: during 1914, 1871 inches, and
during 1915. 1875 inches.
At Reservoir No. 4, the gauge
known as the Upper Luakaha gauge,
which is placed at an elevation of 1925
feet, showed in 1913. 1878 inches OF
rainfall; 1914, 1885, and in 1915,
17760 inches.
Luakaha lower gauge is placed at
500 feet elevation, and is about one
half mile below Reservoir No. T. In
1913 the rainfall here was 1926 in
ches; in 1914, 1900 inches, and in
1918. 1885 inches
Rainfall at all three locations is
thus shown to have been heavier dur
ing 1914 than in either the preceding
or following years.

EIGHTEEN CARLOADS OF ONE-LEGGED MEN,,
AS ROBERT MINOR SAW THEM

eN42e
BY ROBERT MINOR
Copyright, 1916, BY Newspaper
Enterprise Association.)
A crowd was gathering in the sta
ton at Geneva, Switzerland, prepar-
ed to receive the "grands blesses"
on their way back to Germany from
prison camps in France. The Red
Cross flags and the fagso of the city of
Geneva and the republic of Switzer-
land were lined up in front of a
troop of Whitehead nurses, rows of
great pots of coffee and many baskets
and boxes of food. What a lucky
place for flags! In front of healers
instead of killers of men.
Thetrain arrived. 'Hoch der
Schweitzr' shouted 10 carloads of
German boys. They were nearly all
boys-not strong, healthy boys ready
to recommence life's struggle, but
one-Iegged boys. For the ''grands
blesses" (greatly wounded) are cho-
sen to be returned to their native
land because they cannot fight
again, can never work again, to any
good, and must be fed.
Switzerland does this work of ex-
change. They ship train loads of
German wounded prisoners back to
their homes with the consent of the
French government and send equal
number of French wounded prisoners
back to Frence with Germany's per-
mission, in exchange. The only adj
vantage is to have themen at home
instead of in foreign prisons. The
surest guarantee of inability to fight
is the lack of a leg. So the train load
was mostly of one-legged men.
The flags Strengthened out in the
wind of the train, and deep, joy

where ample military security in time
of war will be provided and the largest
agricultural need will be served, at the
lowest cost for transportation and for
raw material
"At a meeting Of the officials of the
Farmers union, the Grange, and the
Society of Equity held in Washington
last February" said Mr. Barrett, I'VE
passed resolutions indorsing the proposal
to establish in this country plant for
the taking of nitrogen from the air, which
would be adequate to supply the govern
ment's munition needs and also provide a
surplus for use in peace times In making
the cheapest nitrogen fertilizer that can
be had.
my personal opinion Is this plant
should be located in the central south,
where Is per cent of our annual produc-
ton of commercial fertilizers Is used
If it be found that Muscle Shoals In the
Tennessee river, in Alabama, or any other
location in or near the centre of the
south or southeast, fulflls these condi-
lions, furnishing adequate power and ac-
cess to raw material and to consuming
markets, that place should certainly be
chosen This is problem for the gov
eminent engineers to determine after
careful investigation.
Being a native Georgian, devoted to the
states progress and development, would
ike to see the state secure this plant.

thing Is to have 1t located at the most
advantageous place in the SOUTH
