PARSNIPS ALL WINTER

Parsnips may be allowed to
remain in the ground and dug
as needed, as freezing does not
injure them.
AS it is q difficult matter to
dig them when the ground is
frozen, it is advisable to store
a small quantity in the storage
room in the basement of tile
dwelling or in the outdoor stor-
age cellar for use during the
winter periods when the ground
is frozen.

Pile fabrics in dependable quality
are winning a place for themselves that
will make them a staple feature of all
coat displays, and this is noticeable in
new showings Of coats for girls. It is
one indication of an increasing de-
mand for good quality in materials of
all kind. Pile and fur fabrics are rich
looking and warm and not excelled for
durability by any other kinds of
cloth.
Narrow fur bands or bands of fur
fabrics figure prominently in the trim
mings of coats for children. Styles
are more simple than ever, with coats
almost plain and cut long enough to
cover the dress entirely. Small cape
collars on many Of them provide addi-
tional warmth and a be fastened up

takes to tell it each man had given
his share to send the home paper to

Cooper is described as one of Ame ,ica's $. foremost leaders of ad- vanccd thoucht, and sprang into fame and fortune through his new health theories based on what is known as the Tanlac treatment. He ucver ceases to surpise you with the infinite variety of his knowledge, and it's absolute correctness and thoroughness. In several of the larger 'cties, he has done great deal of relief work among the poor. Mir. Cooper is a firm believer in
 practical philanthropy and his relief
 work is familiar to charity workers over the country. His Southern
 representative while in Houston, Texas. a few weeks ago distributed,
 under the personal direction of lead
 ing charity workers, one thousand
 dresses of excellent quality to the
 poor women and children. In San

The fearful conflict now waging throughout the world is about to wit ness the fourth anniversary of Thanksgiving Day. hallowed by our Pilgrim Fathers at Plymouth. This year finds our country in the throes Of the same struggle, involving the destiny Of Liberty. We are chas- tened and quickened in our love for our fellow men; possessed of a now and more vigorous outlook on hu-
 manity and rendered more reasona- bic and human by the beacon light of Duty shed upon us by sacrifices at home and from batuefields afar. Wherefore. I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor Of Arizona. do hereby pro claim Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of November, nineteen seventeen as day of thanks and prayer for Gods blessing on our arms in America and overseas.
 And particularly on this day, let us not forget the families whose boards are desolated by the absence of loved ones, called to war. May we not invite them to partake in our share of the bounteous harvests of
 this year and join in our solemn VOWS to Almighty God, our King. to live righteous, abstenious lives, whereby the end Of this strife may be brought nearer. that we may soon again enjoy the blessings of peace and reunited families at the hearth sides ol the American Nation. Let us take them to our hearts and give 1 them substa ntial proofs of our love, , obligation and comradeship. In Witness Whereof, I have here

 great seal Of the State of Arizona to
