AChristmdS Tree
For Bisbee Riddles

For the last two years the munich

as an institution that Bisbee cannot
get along without. There are several
reasons why the municipal tree should

Many Bisbee homes have been visit

will not be as much gaiety among the
old folks this Christmas, and the chill

" that something has happened to up
set their Christmas happiness. But
neither President Wilson nor Food
Administrator Hoover ever intended
that the children should go without

There are a lot Of Bisbee men who
want to see the municipal tree a great

are willing TO dig down deep into the

things which make life worth the liy

Everyone is going to have an op

The Child Crusaders
of the East Provinces

Mrs NJ r. NJ. FIaaJsen and Miss
CarlOta Meyer finished the packing of
the last Christmas boxes that are TO
carry clothing and stockings and lit
tie gifts across the U-bOat haunted At

committee of Bisbee women have been
busy for several weeks collecting do
nations from Bisbee people. whose
Christmas will be all the happier for
the joy they have brought TO little
hearts to which JOY has long been
stranger.
Last Christmas. old Santa Claus was
so busy that he neglected to visit a
certain corner Of the world where
he was much needed. Just how old
Santa could make such a blunder is
not easily explained. because he has a
reputation for being a big-hearted old
scout. but there must have been
something wrong with his road maps.
due. no doubt. to the fact that the map
Of western France had recently be-
come altered by the inroads Of the
German conQuerors. as they like to
style themselves.
This year. however. kind people who
know how disappointed the poor little
children were have looked out for il
that Santa Claus should nave explicit
directions and a fun pack with which
to visit the little refugees OF Ne Mans
Land. And in order to take no chances
that the children should not have

ARIZONA LIBERTY CANDY
IS LATEST CONNECTION

PHOENIX, Dec 15.-Arizona liberty
candy is the latest CONNECTION and one
which bids to be popular at many a
Christmas celebration this year in lieu
of the costly chocolate bon bons. Ari-
IONA liberty candy has been created
by Phoenix miss. with the idea Of
a.@,ng in the general plan for the
conservation of sugar as being carried
out by the United States food admin
istration-
The new CONNECTION is made BY COM
bining dates, popcorn and nuts. One
cup OF sugar will make five pounds of
Arizona liberty candy. Here are some
recipes:
Stuffed Dates-Remoye the stones
and fill with chopped nuts or peanut
butter Press in shape and roll in
sugar or a mixture OF cocoa and
powdered cinnamon.
Pop Corn Candy-Use honey, maple
syrup, molasses. white cane syrup or
corn syrup instead OF sugar. To one
cup OF syrup allow one tablespoon of
vinegar. Boil together until syrup
hardens when dropped in cold water.
Pour over freshly popped corn and
mould into balls or fancy shapes for
the Christmas tree. Little pop corn
men or animals will please the chill

Parent Teachers
To Meet TUESDAY

Report of the work OF the Parent
Teachers association Of Central
school:
The Parent-Teaehers' association OF
Central school has held three meetings
this term and has taken up subjects
for discussion which should be of in
terest to all parents of children in the
district such as the enforcement of
the curfew law in this city, motion pic
lures for the children. lighting of the
Fairgrounds at Central school. and the
placing of a woman on the police
force OF the city.
The association appointed commit
tee to wait upon the city council and
the committee was received very cor
daily and was told that the council
would be glad to cooperate with the
parents of the city in keeping the
children off of the streets at night.
and that the eurfew would be rung on
time and that the police force would
cooperate in enforcing the law.
The council also said they had
thought of the good that might be &C
complished by the right kind OF a wo-
man on the force and that they would
take that under advisement In the
near future.
The only good that can come from
any good ordinance or through the
work of any organization must meet
with the support OF the people whom
II affects, consequently we hope that
the parents Of the children OF the Gen.
tral school viii earnestly cooperate
with the officers in charge.
On next Tuesday evening is our De
cember meeting OF the association and
the subject for consideration is of
special interest to all parents of the
children OF the upper grades. II is the
work OF the junior high school. which
win begin on the 2nd OF January.
1918. Mr.. Snyder. supervising prin-
cipal OF the high school work in the
district will explain the work as far as
il Is now worked out. All parents are
urgently requested to be present.
