ORPHANS HOME CARING
 FOR 31 KIDDIES
(From Sundays Daily.)

The Arizona Childrcn's Home Asso- citation was the outgrowth of a strong appeal for Arizona's friendless chil- dren at the missionary meeting in the city of Tucson in May, 1912. Steps were taken for the organization, and officers were duly ele >ted
 In the Fall of 1913, Mrs Julia Attix, of that city, heard of the movement on foot to start home and informed the association that she mad donated a site of several acres two years pre- vious for such a purpose. but that nothing had ever been done regard ing it. Immediately steps were taken for incorporation by the association in order that the offer could be ac- cepted.
 The object of the Arizona Chil- drcn's Home is to care for all ckil- dren. boys and girls, under any cir cumstances. It is not necessarily a home for adoption. but in case one parent is i'll or deceased, and the oth- CT parent finds it necessary to earn q living, the children can be placed in the nome for an indefinite period, with the hope that through some for tunatc condition they may some day be restored to their parents.
 The home does not encourage adoption unless both parents are dead or when requested by the living par ents or by law. The home will place children for adoption in approved homes only.
 Ii the parent or guardian IS able, T small compensation is asked for the care of the children. but if this can not be afforded, the children are cared for in the same loving spirit as if pro- viied for.
 The home is located on St. Mary's Road in the northwest part of Tucson. an 1Sroom house standing in the middle of three lots with plenty oi fine shade for the children. The home is at present caring for 3l children. ranging in age from 9 months to l3 years.
 Ire association was started with no funds and tip to tre present time has no indebtedness. None Of the of- ficers receive a salary. their time and efforts being freely and lovingly giv- CT. The employees, trained matron, an assistant matron, a cook and laun- dress are paid.
 This home is non-dcnominational in every respect. All children of school age are sent to the public schools and each chill is urged to at. tend his or her respective Sunday school. The home is maintained by subscriptions and donations and any one is eligible to membership upon the payment of Sl
 The plan of the association is to establish branches in every county in Arizona. It will also affiliate with the National Childrcn's Home Associa- ton when that body convcncs i7 May. If a case of homeless child comes to your knowledge. let us know and the case will be immediately taken care of by us.

The site selected for the new shaft is about 2,OO0 feet southwest of the United Verde Extensions Edith shaft and on line between that and the Dundee-Arizona workings. If loca- ton counts for anything the Jerome Verde will prove to be one of the big things of the district. From the old shaft, down 700 feet, some good ore was shipped about year ago.
 Calumet & Jerome.
 An option on the Calumet & Jerome group has been secured by the inter ests in control of the Shattuck-Ari- zona Company, of Bisbee. It is un- derstood that they have practically closed deal whereby they gain con trol of some claims owned by Joe Larson and Charles Sutter, and that they are to undertake development soon.
 North Verde.
 The GoodrichLockhart Company, of New York, has acquired the four claims of the North Verde Company and is holding them under the name of the Movies Copper Company. This company has not started development and it is understood that it is delay ing in the hope of securing an option on 5l per cent of the stock of the Arkansas & Arizona Company, which owns IA claims adjoining.
 One of the finest hoists in the Southwest is at the Arkansas & Ari- zona and it has other splendid sur face equipment. The shaft is down 1900 feet and is in a good showing of low grade copper ore. Experts are of the opinion that commercial ore will be opened at about 2,00O feet
 Grand Island.
 There is a1 excellent chance that the development of the Grand Island group, adjoining the Shea on the south, will be resumed shortly. This group consists of l3 patented claims, with a surface showing similar to that of the Copper Chief and Shea. A shaft, down 200 feet, is equipped with a hoist good for 6OO to 700 feet. At the surface. the values arc gold but copper begins to come in at 80 feet and at S5 feet the shaft enters three foot body of sulphide.
 A crosscut had been started from the bottom of the shaft several years ago when the principal owner killed a man and was sent to the peniten- tiary. Through the efforts of James NJ. Layman. the legal complications were cleared up and 1t is understood that the company may soon be f- nanced for a resumption of opera tions.
 Housing Problem.
 The difficulty of housing her rapid ly increasing population is the most serious problem facing Jerome today. In round numbers the present popula- ton is $500, but this will be doubled by the end of the Summer ii the peo- pie can be taken care of. Every train that goes into Jerome and Clarkdalc is loaded with mining engineers. in vestors and persons seeking employ mcnt. It is almost impossible to get a room at the hotels. Lodging house keepers fill their rooms with cots and strangers bunk side by side, but still the pressure is not relieved

During Brief Stop in Chicago While

Informed Campaign in West Is
Most Satisfactory"

Chicago, Oct. 4.--President Wilson
penetrated the Middle West today, for
his speech at Omaha tomorrow He
received noisy welcomes from thou
sands of persons in Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois. He interpreted the enthusi-
asm of one crowd as meaning you
believe in me-"
At sop after stop, railroad stations
were packed, at several places bands
played, and frequently the president
remarked Oh the cordially.
Refusing to make the trip speech
making tour, the president neverthe-
less kept up a running fire of re-
marks. Interest oentered most on
the eighthour law. He made a brief
Stop here tonight, and conferred with

cratic headquarters. Senators Salus-
bury, end other department heads.
Several hundred persons flocked to
the train wards and cheered the presi-
dent when he appeared. He shook
hands with those near him. Senator
Walsh told the president that the
campaign in the West was more
than satisfactory
At every stop between Pittsburg
and Chicago the president appeared
on the rear platform of his private
car, waved to the crowd, and said he
was making no speeches.

his failure to speak in several towns.

CHANCELLOR Is
Being OPPOSED
IN REICHSTAG
Opponents Apparently Try
ing to Center Attacks to
Bring About Retirement.

Berlin, Oct. 3, via London, Oct A.
The campaign against Chancellor Won
ethmann-Hollweg is steadily assum-
ing more tangible form. One of the
latest developments is circular de-
manding the retirement of the chan
ceilor which has been sent by a
vociferous group of his opponents to
such members of the reichstag as are
considered open to argugment.
The indictment covers almost ev
erything in the chancellor's conduct
of foreign affairs before and during
the. war. Attacks are made in partic-
ular ON his attempts to reach an
agreement with England, his first at
titude toward Belgian neutrality and
naturally his policy in the submarine
issue. The only name of information
al prominence among the signers is
that of Ernest Haeckel, and the circG
lar is regarded as symptomatic rather
than serious.
Another factor which is disturbing
the political situation is breach of
the political truce proclaimed at the
outset of the war, which has been
made by the Saxon Socialists. This
faction has determined to run can-
didate for the seat in the reichstag
vacated by the death Of Conservative
Ernest Eduard Guise. This determi-
nation violates the general agreement
between the political parties that all
vacant seats shall be resigned with
out contest to the party holding them
at the outset of the war.

sweden intends
TO CONTINUE A
NEUTRAL POLICY
Prime Minister S p e a k S
Plainly Of Nations Plans
to News Correspondent.

Stockholm, via London, Oct A.
Sweden proclaimed her attitude of
neutrality at the very outbreak of the
war All her actions since that time
have borne out that proclamation,
and all accusations that she has done,
or intends to do. anything inconsis-
tent with this attitude are due either
to failure to comprehend her situa-
ton or to some less creditable rea-
son, and whenever Sweden has taken
any steps displeasing to one or the
other belligerent powers, her action
has been dictated solely by considera-
ton of the Kingdoms own necessities
and of its future welfare, and not by
any partisan reasons We hope sin
cerely that the belligerents will not
make it impossible for us to main
tain this attitude until the end"
Thus, in effect. the prime minister,
DR.. J. H. l.. Hammarskaold, to the
correspondent of the Associated
Press in the only interview he has
granted any foreign journalist since
the war began. Throughout the
interview, the premier laid stress on
his governments desire to follow un-
swervingly the, policy of non-partls-
anship thus far followed
"And when you get to know the
Swedes better, you will, think. find
that when they say or promise
thing. they mean it," said he.
