 Some idea of what is in store for Phoenix may be secured from the fol- lowing dispatch received by direct wireless, from the camp of the in- vaders:
 SOMEWHERE IN MARICOPA COUNTY, Nov. 15.-Phoenix is men, aced by a huge and war1ike army, evidently bent upon the capture of the city. The town is surrounded, and apparently there is no chance of es- cape. Already the advance guard of the invaders has reached the portals of the city and the main force is very closely following.
 foSOulS SSut OuI Dy tue ueleuueIS re- port the presence of great numbers of strangely clad knights, mounted upon camels and armed with scimitars and spears, within a few miles of the outer Qualifications. These men bear a strange banner, having the symbol of a tigers head, two crescents and a number of stars. and blazing forth the symbol, "El Yemamah Temple, D. O. K. K.'
 A peasant living just outside the walls reports having held converse with one of the band who informed him, he says, that the fighting men are under the standard of Khorassan. He declares he was told the purpose of the advance is the capture of the city. Already the commander of the strange band has sent a demand to the mayor for the keys of the city, and the mayor has complied with the de- mand by sending the keys by the chief of police, George Brisbois.
 The mayor has also received a mes sage to the effect that the invaders will enter the city on November 16 and demand the unconditional surrender of the place. The mayor has an- nounced that he will surrender rather than fight.
 Contrary to expectations, this an- nouncement by the mayor has brought rejoicing rather than gloom to the populace, as the peaceful citizens de- clare they have no quarrel with the invaders and will treat them kindly The commander of the hostile force has guaranteed that no harm shall come to the inhabitants and that after a pause of one day the host will march westward toward the setting sun.
 It Is reported the band holds cap tive number of prisoners, called Tyros, who have been taken in battle and who, while the band is in Phoe- nix, will be taken into the invading army and given the rank of votaries.
 A mystic ceremony will be held to- night and the Tiger has been well fed and is raring to go.
 Promptly at 7:30 o'clock a big pa- triotic parade will take place and all votaries are requested to be present with their fezzes.

JUNIOR GUILD
 PLAY PLEASES

"A splendid success was the unanimous verdict of the large audience that attended the junior guild play Wednesday at the Womans club. It was cleverly produced by the Phoenix young women and men and added another laurel to the many already achieved by the young women of the junior guild.
 Mrs. Wallace Matthie, who took the leading part, was decidedly ca pable in her role and presented it in a charming manner. Miss Ida Mae Golze, Harlow Akers, Burt Doris and all the others were simply splendid" according to their many friends who have only words of praise for their efforts. The play was a success socially, histronically and financially.

bANQUE ETSTOBE
 EEASTs 1T. SOUL

Food Administrator Timothy A. Riordan is of the opinion that for the duration of the war, at least, banquets should not be feasts that heretofore have been known. It is well enough to have an abudance of food of good quality and we'll cooked, but the waste fitness of the average banquet should be drowned upon, and no more should be served than can be consumed.
 It would be better also to consider in such public meals the advisability of using products of the immediate vicinity, to substitute as far as pos sible, for wheat and meat, and, above all, to see that there be patriotic ap- preciation of the reasons why the American flag is now flying on Eu- ropean battlefields

"WoMEN CAUSE MOST FIRES
This Sweeping indictment Made BY a
Fire Prevention Writer Who
States His Case.

Mother is an unintentional incen>
diary" and Women cause most fires" 4"
are the sweeping charges against
American mothers, almost cruel in its
severity, made by a fire prevention
writer backed by the figures and sta
tistics compiled without bias or pre-
judice by authorities on the subject
Every hour of every day six homes,
worth on the average of $4,000 each,
are destroyed by fire and mothers are
accused of being responsible for four
out of every six of these fires More
than 1000 little children have been
burned to death every year since
these statistics have been compiled.
The mothers of these children must
assume responsibility for the fires
that caused 500 of these Deaths" con.
tinues the article.
These figures speak for them
selves" said ]. S. Speed of the Arkan-
sas Actuarial Bureau, when asked by
an interviewer as to the culpability Of
mothers in fire losses. at is hardly
fair to say that women are more care.
less than men fer most of us will
agree that the reverse is true. But
mothers being in charge of the home
may of course be expected to be blam-
ed with most of the fires that destroy
homes. Its a matter of relative re-
spOnsibility." Mr.. Speed suggested
some of the following precautions to
cut down loss of child life and destruc
ton of dwellings,:
Never permit rubbish to accurlu-
late. Keep children away from
matches. Have a fire extinguishcr in
the house and don't hang it too high
for the children Remember that oil
mops, oily rags and sweeping com.
pounds are frequent causes of spon-
taneous combustion. Keep ashes out
of wooden boxes. Don't ever use gas
oline indoors or fill a gasoline stove
at night. Don't think this advice is
meant for the ignorant. 1t is needed
by high school and college graduates
as daily experience-of other folks
proves"

Can You Get Any Good From Lent?
The view of Christ upon the cross
tells you that you are not your own
that you are bought with a price"
Your talents of mind, the aspirations
of your soul, and the power of your
body-all are Christ's. Your time,
your money, your prayers, your
thoughts, your heart-all are Christ's.
His command came to you as stew
ard, and He requires you to be faith
full, He leaves His word in your hands,
and as the redeemed of God, tbs your
work. 'Tis given to you to turn the
world from sin to God; and God re-
quires it at your hands.
Lent comes to help you realize this
fact; and when you feel its Influence
upon your heart, you will more fully
consecrate your life to the service of
Him who died for you to rescue you
from sin and eternal death.
May You Get This Good From Lent.
I have been asked whether the
Church requires the actual fasting dur
ing the season of Lent that we Rad
of as the great feature of this yearly
period. ] answer in the closing lines
of an ancient poew:
ITO starve thy sin-not bin
And that's to keep the Lent"

ance, contests, etc, The boys of our

of duty when others turn aside to
seek ease or pleasure. II would have
been easier and more pleasant for our
Savior to have remained on His
throne in Glory than to have come to
earth to suffer and die for us-but
he came. II may suit ones feelings
much better to seek rest, pleasure or
larger gatherings elsewhere than to be

out these services and the influence
for righteousness that they afford il
they are not continued 1t has been
found by actual count that there are
many in this part Of the city who do
not attend elsewhere or go at all.
This Sunday school is in need of Off
GERS and teachers. Some have been
real faithful but because Of other du-
ties cannot further attend, Who will
take their places? A superintendent
and few teachers are needed at once
il the school is to continue. No doubt
there are a number living in this part
of the city who were once active in
Sunday school work who for various
reasons are now on the shelf. For
your own good and that of others will
you not stir out once more and get
busy in the Lords work. You may
