Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

YOUNGSTERS AND GROWN (jPS
 ARE AIDING RED CROSS WORK

Soldiers from the east and west as well as from Arizona have left com fortable homes and families to answer the call to the border.
 Back home, the mothers and sweet hearts are waiting anXiously for news from their soldier boys, and many little folks are watching for the coming of the mailman, hoping for a message from daddy or big brother, and once a day isn't bit too often to hear from them, if it is only line on a postcard.
 Down on the border there are thou sands of soldiers. Many of them are miles away from any town, guarding the railroad and bridges and other valuable property from bandits. They must live in tiny tents with no protec- tion from the blazing desert sun, and all their supplies are taken to them in trucks from the nearest base.
 The big folks in the Red Cross so- ciety are working hard to send things to make the soldiers comfortable while they have to patrol the border, and the little folks all over the country are helping too.
 The soldiers cannot get materials to write the messages that their families await so anxiously day after day. Sc the children everywhere are giving ! their pennies to buy paper and enve- | lopes, pencils, postcards and stamps. 1 The children of Phoenix will have an opportunity to do their share Mon ! day and Tuesday, during the Red Cros: campaign down town. Some of th' ladies of the society will have tablei and cash boxes in convenient place! and the children may take their offer ings to them.
 Two cents will buy card and fur
 nish stamp for it, to carry home
 message from some soldier boy that
 is safe and there is no cause for worr,
 And there is hardly a doubt that h
 will find room to say that Arizon
 people are d pretty good sort.
