CONWAY'S FRIENDS
 GIVE HIM BIG GOOD BYE

A crowd of about 200 persons, in cluding the most prominent citizens of Phoenix, were present at the depot last night to bid God speed to Power Conway, who left for the San Fran cisco Presidio. There was no time for making stirring speeches, as Conway was busy intil the train pulled out gripping the extended hands of his numerous friends.
 Conway received congratulations and commentators from his many frineds for the patriotism he has shown by sacrificing his responsible position to become defender of the country. AS the train pulled out of the depot three rousing cheers for Conway were given by the crowd assembled. Conway was a popular clubman of the city, belonging to the Elks, Masons, the Arizona and the Bachelors club.
 Among those present at the depot last night were Judge Sloan, Judge Kibbey, Judge Lewis, Col. McClintock, Commissioner MacBean, Mayor Corp stein and many other prominent citi- zens, together with at least 200 regu- lar folks.-Arizona Gazette.

Miss Buena Hilty, daughter of I. D. Hilty, arrived home on No. 2 Sun day morning, for a weeks visit with her parents.
 Miss Hilty is teaching school at Seligman and has been under quar- antine for some time for alleged smallpox.

LIZZY

It happened January 1917, in the year of Our Lord, that sold my peace upon this earth; took unto my. self Ford"
 Yes, it was one of these things called road louse or some other thing understood and it had all the marks of real thing, from the tail lights clear to the hood.
 Now Lizzy and I grew quite chum- my as we rambled around on this earth, but I couldn't quite understand her or the troubles to which she'd give birth. First she would sputter, then utter the darndest of sounds ever heard; then she'd stutter and hutter, sail away like the flight of a bird.
 Pickle was Lizzy; fond of flirta- tions; she loved to get stuck on some grade, then down on my knees I'd go begging and praying for help and for shade.
 Little by little it all dawned upon me, the creature was not fickle at all; she had no intentions of being un- true, she just couldn't stand for my gall.
 I had tried to make grades that that were vertical, force my way through four feet of sand but Lizzy was wiser than I was. The way she'd behaved was just grand.

POETRY
rHE REED oRoss NURsp.


The country lanes are stained with
More scarlet than the kiss OF frost.
And one leads from the fields OF dead
where raging battle lines are tossed,
1t nees the horror of the plain
The fragrant hill Of dusky green
Enfolds its path with plying leaves.
As me pale moon her magic weaves,
Compassionate the gray church waits
A crypt of peace within her gates.
Along the family echoing aisles
The stricken lie in silent lines:
Caressing1y woman smiles
Above them where the Red Gross
Sweet -consolationis Drumming bowl
That English lad with sunny hair,
See how she soothes him into sleep;
And then she croons a German air
To a brave Uhlan wounded deep.
The Breton's brow she softly laVes
While, flaming, he Of battle raves.
And so the long night passes on.
The guttering candles fare and die
AS dawn comes. sombre-eyed and wan.
The booninF cannon rend the sky.
Yet ca1na1y, white above the curse
Moves tenderly the Red Cross Nurse.
The Christ, It has been said, appears
To men whose need is sore for Him.
BEHOLD, the Crimson Cross that cheers
The sick below the altar dimI
Dawn brizShtens fast and Terror hides.
For here the Lord of Peace abides.
