WILL bE
 RECRUIT PLAN

In order to bring the war situation closer home to many of the young men of Phoenix, who he believes ought to volunteer to do their bit in the great war. Jo E. Richards, better known as Art Rick has decided to have two re- cruiting stations erected in the lobby of the Hip. on Washington street, dur ing the coming run of the great pa triotic picture. ''Womanhood. This action is in line with that taken by many of the prominent theater manag- CTS of the country, and one that has the open endorsement of Secretary of War Baker, and Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
 One of these stations will be main- tained for the First Arizona, and the other for the United States Marine corps. Art Rick would like to be one of the volunteers himself, but even with the age advancement recently announc- ed by the war department, he is still exempt. He however. is not to be out done in his patriotism by any. and wil offer this as a portion of the recon pcnse for not being able to wear shoul- der straps.
 Sergeant Chamberlain of the marine corps recruiting station here, will have charge for the marine corps, he haVlne taken hold of the scheme with a grea' deal of enthusiasm. Just who Will DC on duty for the National guard has no been decided, but it is thought that by the time the picture comes-opening or May 3O-the newly appointed recruiting party from the First Arizona will bt on the ground.
 "Womanhood" is an appeal to th' warlike sentiment of the country. l deals with an attack upon this country without warning by a country called Ruritania, just in the same manner 2!

Phoenix and vicinity's share of this s3000000 is about $2.500 or less than the cost of one Y. M. C. A. building on the border
 The association at the request of President Wilson, is raising S30000 900 and HOO secretaries in three weeks. This is a gigantic task. but every state
 ssigned so far has had it's subscrip tion largely over signed. New Yorks .uota 'was ST / (, and they raised nearly a million dollars.
 Arizona's quota is s15,000, which is a mall amount as compared with other states.
 The war department regards the task of providing for spare time and amuse- ment one of the most very important matters in army life. A clean mind usually goes with clean body. The Y. M. c. A. is combating idleness. drink, mental and moral flabbness. that backs up most crime. The regiments that show the highest morals and efficiency are the regiments where the Y. M. C. A. work is strongest.
 Phoenix will do her part in this splendid campaign. which means so much towards raising the efficiency of the United States army and taking care of boys away from home.

Community Betterment.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
Old settlers like to think of the
early days when people found so
much pleasure in helping their
neighboring and rendering service
to the community. In many in
stances young people were so i'm
pressed with such principles that
they have made such conduct their
ideals.
Society requires certain duties
of each man who gets the protec-
ton of society. There are some
things we must require of govern
ment and some thing government
requires of us. Neither the indi.
vidual nor the government should
seek special favors nor expect more
from the other that is given. A
free government must protect, en-
courage and assist the people by
leading the people to do the things
that should be done and giving up
the things that should be given up
for the benefit of each other, for
the benefit of society and for the
government.
Individual interest should CO.
ordinate with public interest. In
dividual ideals, individual senti-
ments and individual ambition, SO
far as possible, should correspond
to the interest of society and the
government.
The man who realizes that he is
under obligations to his fellow men
for neighborly kindness, for ideals
and for examples of industry,
thrift and moral character will
strive to return the favor to others
with whom he may be associated
He will endeavor to be q better
citizen and in every way worthy Of
such assistance.

Machine Sorts and Counts
All Coins.

William G. Ragalsky, student
at Columbia University. has just
applied for patent on q machine
for sorting coins. This would be
useful especially to banks and
large business houses, for coins of
all denominations can be dumped
into its hopper and will be found
a few minutes later neatly arran,
ged, cents, nickels, dimes, quar-
ters, half-dollars, dollars and gold
pieces, each in their own compart.
ment.
The machine looks not unlike a
cash register. 1t is automatic, be-
ing run by electricity. When
coins are poured into it they close
the circuit that sets it going and
sorts the coins. The principle
upon which 1t works IS q cOmbina-
tion of sorting by size and sorting
by weight. If dime, for instance,
gets stuck between two nickels
and starts on its way with them
towards the tickel compartment it
is automatically stopped and sent
back to where it belongs. Light
weight or bogus" coins are drop
ped into a special place, whence
they emerge Immediately.
Mr.. Ragalsky's machine can be
built in such a way that it will not
merely sort but count the coins of
each denomination and register
the number on an indicator.

Oil Excitement.

The discovery a few days ago OF
parafne Oh the surface OF the
ground on Jean Changers place,
in Clover Hill, two miles below st.
Martinville has created great ex-
citement and the oil prospectors
were quick in making rush for
leases, and we learn that some
fancy prices were paid and more
people are rushing in every day
in large numbers looking up the
situation. We are told that drill
ing will soon commence in that
new section which is rich in pro-
misses for a good field. Several
wells are now being put down at
LaRompe and Catahoula.
1t is expected that large opera
tions will soon commence in Clo-
yer Hill, and if this prove a sue
cess, it will develop a large field
as it is believed the Grand Marais
section will be proven as an i'm
mense field. Our people are ex-
pecting with excitement the oper-
alton in this new field.

WILSON, "HEAVY LADEN, TOLL
ING FOR HUMANITY

At Newark, N. j., on March
20, Secretary Tumulty, in an ad-
dress at a dinner given in his
honor, spoke Of the infinite
patience and skillful hands" with
which President Wilson is guild
ing the destiny of the nation.
Il wonder if you can realize
how truly epochal is this period
in which we are living" said Mr..
Tumulty. Il wish | could dis
cuss with you some phases of the
international situation with
which the Government at Wash
ington had to deal since the
world war began. / wish that
all you, and all Americans, could
know, as | have been privileged
to know, with what infinite pa
tience and skillful hand the silent
and heavy laden man who but a
few years ago served you as Gov
ernor has guided the destiny of
the republic.
No man can realize what he
has done and is doing for the
United States of America, for
the world, for civilization and
humanity. 1t is not a great
thing to be secretary to the Presi-
dent, but it is a wonderful thing
to be associated with a President
like Woodrow Wilson. Some day
a great historian will tell the
story of what he has endured, of
the problems he has met, of the
scrupulous care and patience he
has taken to preserve the rights
of America and to keep free and
open the process of liberty.
Children in the schools and young
men in the colleges will read in
the text books of the unsurpass-
ed justice and high ideals of a
practical statesman who was
raised up to direct the destiny of
this nation in it's most trying
hour. We-are too close to the
world events of the last few
years to appreciate them, to
estimate justly the wonderful
period in which we are living,

MIR. Ralston's Letter.

To the Editor of the Prince Georges
EnauireI:-
For eighteen years in one or more OF
| the states of the Union, laws have been
passed by direct popu al )te, under the
Initiative. small percentage of the
voting population has by petition caused
to be presented to the entire electorate
laws or constitutional amendments be-
Iieved to be in the public interest and
these propositions have been accepted
md rejected. From this experience
useful lessons have been learned with
reference TO popular government, some
Of which shall endeavor to point out.
ia the hope that the citizens of the
State may be the more ready TO adopt
the Initiative.
Laws to be passed upon by the poop e
are more carefully drawn as a rule than
law passed by legislatures. This state
ment is SO different from the impression
sought to be created by those opposed
to popular government as To deserve an
explanation. Before any important
Initiative proposition is placed up II a
petition it is usually thrashed over By a
committee of men interested in its pre-
sentatiOn to the public in the best pos
sible form. This done, its friends have
not trusted to their own judgment, but
have circulated the proposed Jaw widely
among groups of men of like mode of
thought, to the end that every possible
objection 10 phraseology should be ell
minated nd the utmost c!earness of ex
preston obtained. Many such propo-
sitions have been printed and reprinted
score of times before completion. The
trainers have understood that, once
brought before the public eye, the text
would be criticised by thousands of
men, viewing it from every possible
standpoint. Perfection, therefore, be-
comes the ideal in preparing an Initia-
tiVo law.
Bills prepared for submission to the
legislature are usually the product of
the minds Of interested persons know
ing exactly what they want, and not
always desiring the interest of the
people So prepared, they NAV be given
an examination, usually hasty, by the
legislative committees TO which they are
referred, and generally no examination
whats, ever by the great mass of the
legislators, who accept without question
whatever is reported from committee
An act therefore, going through the
legislature, does not receive the careful
detailed attention given an ace to be
pa sed upon by The people.
We are told that the people are not
sufficiently intelligent to themselves
enact laws. Those who say this forget
that our constitutions are adopted by
the people, and this body, which is in
tell gent enough to pass upon the fun
damental law, ought surely to be re
gardpd as sufficiently intelligent to pass
lpJn any amendment to it. In so
l"lng he people act upon the Initiative
Of TIE Constitutional convention which
proposes the constitution to them.
There is no difference in principle b

Cure for Lu,,bogo

Rheumatism and lumbago are awful
things and cause great pain and mis-
cry, but Foley Kidney Pills can roue
them.

Ill, writes the following letter: II
was stricken down with lumbago and
was unable to turn myself in bed. A
neighbor brought me a half bottle OF
Foley Kidney Pills, and said she had
been similarly afflicted and that they
had helped her. So tried them and
was completely relieved by the use OF
two or three bottles. I have had
splendid success with them and have
never known them to fail. I most
heartily recommend Foley Kidney
Pills"
Foley Kidney Pills tone up weak.

body of poisons, give appetite. energy
and refreshing sleep after pain. Don't
neglect kidney trouble. Remove tAA
