Wife Would Appreciate It.

A minister home from the trenches has been recounting his experiences among the Scotch regiments, and one of the interesting stories he tells of a wounded Jock whom he found rath- CT depressed, and on being asked whether he would like to dictate letter home, he assented. Thereupon the minister brought a table with writing materials to his bedside. However, he found Jock tongue tied and unable to begin, so much so that the parson said, after a while:
 Come along, now, I'm in hurry, we must make a start"
 "What will I say?"
 No reply.
 "Will I begin, My dear wife?'"
 Aye" said Jock, "pit that doon. That1l amuse her."-London Tit-Bits.

RELIEF WORK FOR
 FRENCH CHILDREN

What is being accomplished by the American Red Cross for the childrer. of France is indicated by the follow ing cable just received from Majcr Grayson M.-P. Murphy, Red Cross Commissioner to France:
 "The medical work for children which the American Red Cross has undertaken at Toul had it's formal opening in the presence of the pre- feet of the Department, two Generals of the French army, the Senator of the Department and severa. Ameri- can doctors and nurses. The French and American flags were raised in front of the new brick barracks by the French government for the child ren's refuge. The Prefect warmly thanked the American Red Cross for its help with the children.
 "The new staff, consisting of sev- eral specialists in children's diseases and fifteen nurses and aides, are at work under the direction of Dr. Sedg- wick, Professor of Pediatrics in the University of Minnesota. A large district back of the lines at that point has been forced to move all children to places of greater safety, and sev- eral hundred children at Pompey and Fouard, the towns nearby which are under almost constant bomb attack, have been examined and are being re- moved from their refuge in caves to the Asile at Foul as quickly as pos sible.
 "The work of the infirmary estab- lished by the American Red Cross has been greatly augmented by the gift of a Children's Hospital from an American Committee. This hospital of eighty beds is already being equip ped, and will become the center of the

ARIZONA MEN TO BE
 SENT TO CAMP KEARNEY

Admitting that conditions at Camp Funston are not of the best and that the men stationed there are not com fortable, General Leonard A. Wood has informed Governor Thomas E. Campbell that 5000 troops from Ari- zona, New Mexico and Colorado will be sent to Linda Vista, Cal, as soon as Camp Kearney is ready to receive them. This information came to the governor yesterday in the form of a telegram from General Wood reply ing to the suggestion of the execu- tive that if possible the Arizona troops be removed to Linda Vista where the climatic conditions are more nearly like those of Arizona than they are at Fort Riley.
 When the last contingent was about to leave for Kansas, Governor Camp bell took up the matter of permitting the men to carry along extra bedding. Word had come to him that the men already there were uncomfortable from the lack of sufficient blankets, although they had been promised ad- ditional bed covering as soon as it was available. As result of the ef- forts of the governor an order was issued allowing the men from Arizo. na to carry two blankets as part o1 their equipment.
 Since then further complaint of tn, conditions at the camp have been re ceived, and then the thought oc cured to Governor Campbell that thu men would be more comfortable if re moved to California.
 "Six thousand Colorado, New Mex ico and Arizona troops will be sen to Linda Vista as soon as Camp Rear ney, Cal, is ready to receive them' reads General Woods telegram t, Governor Campbell. "Details are nov being arranged, and I anticipat troops referred to will be removed be fore severe weather sets in. Thi camp is not comfortable, but so ia there has been little sickness" | In addition to the satisfaction fel over the fact that the men are likel, soon to be in training in climate les rigorous than that of Kansas at thi season of the year, the governor il also pleased to learn of their earl. removal to California for he believes this is but the forerunner of the ul innate consolidation of the Arizon; selected men with the members of tn, First Arizona Infantry which is sool to be sent to Linda Vista. It vii mean that the Arizona men will no be scattered among various units, bu will go forward as solid body iron the newest state. This is the end st long sought and one which the mer themselves will welcome.

Comfort Bags for the COcOninO Boys.

Coconin0 Boys.
 As the autumn season comes apace more and more enthusiasm is mani- Tested in Red Cross work, or is it because the whole country seems stirred with patriotism and the sure ness of victory? Last Tuesday saw more than the usual quota of women doing their bit and by 4 o'clock the days work had amounted to gener- ous proportions. Just now the com fort bag committee has a problem to face. There are one hundred and for ty Coconino county boys that the loy- al Red Cross wish to see supplied with comfort bags. The bags are rapidly being made and every assurance of having them filled seems evident.
 One lady much interested gave her check on Tuesday for seventy-five dollars, while Tuesday night the Elks donated fifty dollars to the fund. Several five dollar checks have been handed in, so altogether it looks as if the money would be on hand before the button holes are done.
 Should the boys at Naco read the society column they must know how much the Flagstaff women are think ing of them. Their only regret is that they went before the Red Cross organization had been completed, or ere this the comfort bags would have been theirs.

Congregation Entertained.

Perhaps no social of late years has been more successfully planned than the one last Friday night at the Pres byterian Church.
 Gathering together as it did, over one hundred and fifty people, all unit ed in praising the truly social time.
 The church presented veritable autumn scene with its lovely leaves and aspen boughs, while a cozy as- pect was given with the softly shad- ed lamps and easy chairs scattered about the room. A program of charm was given by a series of delightful glimpses of other days and lands an Irish maid singing Tom Moore's beautiful ballads, was impersonated in costume by Miss Metcalf. A Scot tish Highlander giving us "Loch hammond" was splendidly given by MT. Rosenberry. Most delightfully."- clever were the readings by Miss MacAfee. One Scottish mother and the second number, an old Southern lullaby, both eliciting applause. We were again in the South, listening to an old plantation melody, "Old Black Joe", and standing before us was the ever lovely southern girl in costume, "of the days before the war" Miss Gardener gave this selection.
 Perhaps the sweetest of all was Little Boy Blue" standing by his toys before he left them for his trun- dle bed. This part was taken by Master Charles Geyber, while Miss Sweeting sang the touching little bal lad.
 After the program reports from the various department of the church wer given and later delicious re- treatments were served. Circle No 2 deserves much credit for their so- cial.

Lack of Grain Forcing
SUICIDES to Make Bread
From Bark, ENJOY Says

Washington, May pm. de Lager
Grants, minister from Sweden here from
1906. to 1910 and now head of COM
mission to treat with the American
government regarding grain shipments
for Sweden, was presented to-day at
the State Department. He will be pre-
sented to the President later. NJ. de
Lagercrants said to-day that the chief
suffering in Sweden was among the
peasant class.
1.-THE peasants in Northern Sweden
are now making bread with mixture
of the red bark of the fir tree, owing
to the acute shortage of grain" said he.
Sweden never produces enough wheat
for its own consumption. Before the
war we got ample supplies from Rus
STA. But none comes from that country
now, owing TO the shortage of trans
portation facilities, which is even caus-
ing people in Finland and in Petrograd
itself to go hungry.
at is to be hoped that the arrange
ment recently effected between Sweden
and England, by which Swedish grain
ships lying for months at Baltimore.
Philadelphia and New York can now
proceed unmolested to Sweden, will
partly alleviate the suffering OF our
poor peasants, who are really the best
part of our population. We fear. how
ever, that our own grain crops this
year will be poor. owing to our lack of
fertilizers, especially phosphatcs."

Albany, May Ex-Governor Whitman
will call an extra session of the Legis-
lature TO discuss the food problem
either in late August or September. II
became known to-day that the Gov

with Republican legislators and others
interested in the food situation.

only legislation can improve II. lie be-

The principal difficulty seems TO be
the shortage of livestock, and every
effort will be made to encourage stock
raising. The reports on the raising or
vegetables are more encouraging. There
is a belief that with the present plant
ing campaign overproduction is likely.
A bill may be presented providing for
minimum prices for vegetables.
At the close Of the last session Gov
ernor Whitman asked the Legislature
20 pass a food dictatorship bill, but the
Senate leaders instead appointed war
committee to consider the food situa-
ton. This committee was TO confer
with the authorities al Washington and
20 make recommendations either to the
