It's Christmas
Time Again

There's a fire in the crate and a
light in the hall,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the sleighbells ring and the
children call,
For it's Christmas time again.
It's time for a Christian land to raise
Her loudest paeans Of love and
praise
For the Holy Babe Of the Bethlehem
days,
For it's Christmas lime again.
There's a wreath Of green at the
windOwpane,
For it's Christmas time again,
And the church bells echo the glad
refrain,
For it's Christmas time again.
Oh, it's time to turn with the golden
smile
To the friend we doubted and
scorned awhile,
To rid our hearts Of their greed and
guile!
For it's Christmas time again.

HAYDEN PEOPLE GO

HAYDEN, Oct. 19.-The quail season opened Monday and many of the Hay den sportsmen spent the day or part of it in the hills near town bagging the limit. The birds are plentiful this year also the hunters and for the next few weeks no doubt there will be many less quail.
 Rowe McCrae went to Phoenix Sun day returning Tuesday on business connected with the mine in which he is interested.
 D. D. Moffat, Dr. Gowan, George Wilkinson and Edward Engleman spent Monday in the vicinity of Hay den's ranch hunting quail and all re- turned with the limit of birds. MT. Howard, formerly of Tacoma, has accepted the position of safety in- spector for the Hayden smelter and has assumed his new duties. Charles Fleming, master mechanic for the Hayden smelter, is still in Phoenix where he underwent a serious operation at Phoenix hospital Sunday an excursion was run to Ray | for the baseball game between the Mill and Ray teams. Three coach loads went over on the train beside large number of fans who motored over for | the game. The mill won the game by a score of five to three and now have won all three games played off in the | post series.

The Food Campaign

If every man and woman could read Bulletin No of the United States food administration. there would be no need of intensive campaign to con- serve food. This little book clearly and concisely tells what this country and it's allies are up against ana they are up against something real and sub stantial and it is the possibility of partial starva- tion This is putting it buntly but it is putting it truthfully nevertheless.
 In one section of this brief book Herbert Hoover, food administrator tells of the extreme measures which of allies taken to prevent waste Fines high $500 are levied on persons who throw away stale bread If are to avoid coming to such condition it becomes us to voluntarily do our part in the general saving for if allies can not hold because -they lack food, then we must take their places else the ruthless Teuton soil
 Mr. Hoover says: We have general limitation on food supplies to the allies that that the condition of shipping requires that all the food stuffs sent shall be of the concentrated sort There fore, the commodities which We have to send most advantageously limited to wheat corn beef, pork products. dairy products and sugar.
 If we consider supplies, we find that we have enough of corn. We have great surplus of potatoes vegetables fish and poultry. We increase or even maintain present export of wheat beef pork dairy products and sugar, without reducing our consumption. The logical and sensible first step in adapting supplies allied needs is to substitute corn, potatoes. vegetables fish and poultry for those staples wish to export"
 This is the and substance of the food con- servation campaign. In the list of things have in plenty articles all may and enjoy We are not asked to without sufficient food to use the food we have in plenty and save the food which is scarce. The very prices indicate the course of wis dom for the plentiful food is the cheapest
 Of fish we, nation, have always consumed too little and of of the much needed food like the red meats and pork, we have consumed too much for the best health Whole nations live uron vegetables and survive in good health. The Japanese are example. Their endurance is quite as great as that of any other race in the world they live largely vegetables not from choice but because they have to. In the Russian Japanese war they hard drinking Russians who today if they equal to their temperate brothers the other armies of the allies could hold entire Teuton force ir check
 Americans do like to be told what they may and may not do. Herbert Hoover and his associates are not telling the people they must do but urging them to do what is best the naticn-thcr nation We believe that the people thoroughly understand what is needed they will respond in a spirit of patriotism which will give the food conserva ton program the backing at home it provide for those who fighting for abroad.

 NORTHERN FAIR "Sis 1ii.ai1

B. w. Iachau, secretary of the state fair commission, who is. visiting the Northern Arizona fair has evidently been very much impressed with what he saw at the mile high show. Any how he sent the following report to The Republican yesterday:
 Especial to The Republican,
 PRESCOTT, Oct. 19.-The North ern Arizona fair is a success The show in general is fine and many special. features are worthy of the highest praise. The attendance yes- terday was not as large as hoped for but it was the openi<.g cay and every body was busy and hardly into the swing of things. Tcday's crowd will be larger and Saturday. the closing day. will doubtless witness a jam. Ali northern Arizona will be represented and a big part of the population will be there.
 | All exhibition departments are in- ! teresting but probably the three most | impressive are the mineral, agricul- l tural and art departments, while in the live stock end of the fair, poultry | has the place of honor A particular feature that everybody comments upon
 is the art exhibit, most notable in the showing being a collection of paint ings and pictures of sundry kinds, sent to the fair by the American Fed eration of Art. This collection alone ! is valued at $25,0O0.
 The mineral display was not yet all i in place when I saw it, but will be completed today and will be a marvei. , The fame of Yavapai county as an 1 agricultural region has been spreading l for years and its display this year en- I titles it to all that anybody chooses | to say in it's favor. Both dry farming 1 and irrigation products are shown in | abundance. The baby show has at | tracted great attention some 50 kiddles being entered.
 The entertainment sice of the fair | Is not overlooked, on the contrary. as
 with all Prescott shows. it is lead Ing feature. Lacking the big mile | track the harness men want, all effort
 is put into making the half mile track a constant whirlpool of big l events. Running races lead in i'm 1 portance, there being good ones each day.
 Among the attractions are the many
 shows that combine to make the big
 wortham Brothers carnival company
 that will be seen at the state fair later It is a good clean aggregation and has
 a number of special features that are new to this section.
 Altogether the fair can be announced | as a success, even at this early in
 spection when much of the best of ii
 is yet to come, and the officials of the
 fair have in truth accomplished great i things IL is confidently expected
 that the principal exhibits of the
 northern fair will be moved along tc | rnoenix. to claim the attention that
 is their due, at the big state show.

 J. Adam is the who joked himself out ef congress Elected and reelected. he was so fond of making jokes congress his constituents finally door sport and retired him in spite of the fact that he a notable power in congress However in the quotation from his sayings, he has struck a novel way of expressing old thought voiced years ago in the sentence, Uneasy lies the head which wears q crown"

Even in Germany, the kaiser is not the whole show He and consult their wishes, and will all agree that he has taken some mighty poor advice and been swayed by individuals whose loss the world could well afford.
 After all. there is ruling power greater than the public opinion it bosses and when the Ger people, the sensible sort find how terribly their best interests have been betrayed by the kaiser they too revolt and topple from the throne this mis- creant among national managers.

The Mercuriai French

The French. popuarly termed the "Mercurial race" have shown steadfastness in their defense of their native land which bellies such title They are only fighting with a simply marvellous man. power which inspires admiration the world over even in Germany, it is said but they find time to attend to politics in the interval Politics is rather continuous occupation in France in which no faction seems to go permanently into the discard. In these United States, parties come and parties go a score or more having died in the past half century, but in France a party to say die or do it either
 Georges Clemenceau enjoys the task of breaking up cabinets, but new cabinet with new premier springs into being immediately afterward. Unlike this republic. in France when things are not going well with the government, general fault is found with conditions the cabinet responsible dissoves almost as though by magic The latest dissolution in France has been caused by what in France, is termed the Amereyda expose, known in this country by the picturesque title of the Bolo Pasha in trgue.
 One of the bright cartoonists the other side of the water has pictured German diplomacy group of thugs surrounding gentlemany appearing chief, with background of cans of disease germs poison gas in containers and piles of bribe money corrupt the corruptable in enemy countries. Ex- poses in the United States and other countries and now in France indicate that this corruption of cash has been far reaching
 M Clemenceau is the man who sprung the trap in France In this country it was the government itself He did the minister of the interior in France of being corrupt but of being lax and so Louis Malvy, who held that position and who should have suppressed evidences of corruption is out and the cabinet is replaced by new one France, meanwhile, going forward with the just though nothing had happened behind the lines
 Behind it all is the sinister figure of Joseph Caillaux whose name has been linked with many scandals that were he in America, he would never again bit of political influence. He is said to have been back of the Almereyda intrigue. which resulted in the death of that worthy, while the amiable Bolo Pasha, feted and wned in the United States by of worthies, is supposed to be the man who handled the millions and sent indirectly from Germany through the German bassador here, to France
 It is nasty mess which has served to drag the name of diplomacy into the mire with the filth of it's own doings. Standing out in bold relief to this way of conducting international business is the work of our own diplomats a work which has been of firmness and mercy, and Americans should fight all the better for going into the international court of battle with clean hands

Soldiers, Chance of Life.

If you, drafted man, believe that
statistics tell the truth, you will feel as
safe in France as you usually do in
the streets OF New York. So says Rog-
er w. Babson, the eminent statis-
tician, according to Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who is connected with the
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one in the employ of
a railroad. However, he does not hold
out such high hopes for the lieuten-
ants, serge:lntS and corporals, the
death rate being very much greater
among officers than among privates.
Also, the mortality is higher among
volunteer corps than among drafted
men. Sixty men per thousand are now
being killed in the war, and about $50
men out of eaoA thousand are
wounded.

Five Great Men in History.


In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years of the republic
five men stand out-George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas JEFF
ferson. Alexander Hamilton and John
Marshall, says James Bryce in the
Youths Companion. Whether or not
the last four of them were great men
in the full sense Of the word is IL Ques-
ton on which people We're not agreed
in the lifetime of those four and are
not agreed today; but everyone felt
then as everyone feels now that Wash
ington WAS great. He is world fig
urc. In mere intellectual power he was
noNsuperior to the other four He had
less originality and Il less wide range
of capacity than Franklin, less versa
tile activity of mind than Jefferson,
less brilliant gifts for constructive pol
icy ard the exposition tho "eof than
Hamilton, less logical grasp and pene-
tration of thought than Marshall; but
he rose superior to them all in GER
tain massive strength of character in
stately dignity, in calm firlnness of
purpose that neither the smiles nor the
frOwns of fortune could divert from
the course his judgment had approved.
So his primacy was undisputed then
and has remained undisputed ever
since.
