Listening TO a few remarks erom

even contemplated
The women may have favored The
blowing OF whistle.
Along about . o'clock.
As means Of apprislng tho
ycunguns that 1t was time to hurry
home.
But the commission couldn't see
the curfew business
Thus We presume the children may
stay out as late as they please.
So far as the board If city COM
missioners is concerned.
For that reason we imagine the
children of the capital city will be IN
for much fun this winter.
Providing. of course. they can make
satisfactory arrangements with their
parents.
Also it might be that the commits
sioners have not forgotten their child
hood days.
And that such things as curfew
bells were pretty much in evidence
during that period of their lives.
For this reason the commission
probably voted against the move.
Not desiring to deprive the growing
boys and girls of any pleasure.
on the other hand this rejection or
the curfew plan might have been
made on the theory that there is
nothing in oklahoma City to keep the
children up town after hours
And that they will all be home In
bed before the bell could possibly be
rung.

doing just that thing and you not to be greatly blamed
for your neggence the actual necessity for food
ton right has not been brought clearly the mind of
majority of the people in America
The war seems long way Off We have had it brought
closer little by the departure of lot of fine young
men for the and the sailing for France of lot of
others But the proportion of the people of the United States
who have been directly touched yet by the war; small

tory of Humanity and the Stars and Srpewhch after
all the thing The personal sacrifice asked by
the food administration is nconsequena anyone who does
make it should be ashamed show his her face to

Take this of food conservation seriously. 1t
means much as if than the successful manu-
facture of munitions In fact food conservation is the
facure of munitions; munitions for the bodies of boys

Germany NOW
Encouraging
PO1ygamy

1t has been reported to the Vatican
and reports have reached this coun-
try from Rome that polygamy is now
openly encouraged by the military au-
thorities in Germany.
Only recently, according to these
detailed reports, members of the Cath
olic clergy have come into possession
of several copies of pamphlets which
have been distributed widely among
the troops at the front. The books
are entitled, Lateral Marriage; the
Only Means for the Formation of a
Powerful Armed Force and for En-
noblement of Morality"
One copy forwarded to Rome ex-
horts married women, in the interests
of the Fatherland, to obtain the neces-
sary permission from their husbands
to contract lateral marriages, based
upon personal inclination, with mar
ried men, who, in turn, must obtain
their wives consent. Such lateral
marriages, it is stated, may be dis
solved after children are born. Their
object is to increase the birth rate
and to mitigate conditions brought
about by the war.
Pope Benedict has asked for full
particulars, with a view to public de-
nunciation of such propaganda.

SHANNON RANCH
TO BE PLANTED
TO COTTON CROP

The 1400-acre ranch of G.. M. Shan
non, nine miles west of Florence, has
been purchased by L. V. w. Brown of
Pasadena, Cal; Fred A. Thackery of
Sacaton, and associates, and WILL with
the Fraser ranch, be prepared at once
for cropping to cotton next year.
Cotton growing in the valley has
proven successful, although not exten-
sively grown, and these gentlemen are
firm in their belief that big things in
cotton growth are to be done.
There are between 400 and 900
acres on the Shannon ranch now culti-
waited, and it is the intention of the
new owners to increase the acreage
to 1000 acres at once by clearing and
breaking new land. Additional pump
ing plants are to be put down for sup
Elemental irrigation There is a
pumping plant now on the ranch capa-
Bile of supplying water for about 800
acres, and one or possibly two more
plants will be needed.
The company that has taken over
the Shannon ranch will also plant 900
acres on the Fraser ranch to cotton.
This lafd is now being prepared for
next years crop.
The Shannon ranch is one of the
finest bodies of land in the county,
Il,
pumping will be under ideal condi-
tions.
The fact that Pinal county took
first prize on long staple cotton at
the state fair has started quite num-
Der of people this way looking for
lands to rent, not only for cotton, but
for wheat and barley. However, there
is little or no land for rent. o

work on state highways be suspended

RED CROSS NOTES

well, what did you think of the
carnival?" There seems to be no doubt
about. what any one thought of the
carnival-simply great! wasn't it? Of
course, we knew our school teachers
were "awfully smart" intellectual and
all that-school teachers have to be
but that's different from being clever,
you know. The teachers of the Ray
and Sonora schools are clever, GER
tainly, above the average.
The moment you paid the entrance
fee of ten cents, which, by the way,
was also the maximum fee charged
for any one attraction, to Miss Huff,
In costume of a Red Cross nurse the
carnival spirit was upon you-and
then you heard, and also saw, Miss
Smith as master of ceremonies" an
nouncing Vaudeville show to begin in
few minutes" and "Don't fail to see
Chlqu1ta," and any one who failed to
see Chiquita surely missed something.
This Stunt was put on by little
Miss Moore, and wasn't she darling?"
The Japanese BOOTH where chrysan-
themums were sold, was very popular,
but one of the biggest drawing cards
was the pie kitchen, presided over by
two dainty blue-eyed maids in blue
frocks with white caps and kerchiefs.
There was, of course, dark, mys-
terious fortune-teller-in fact, nothing
was lacking, not even confetti. No
wonder it was such financial sue
cess. Two hundred and fifty dollars
some carnival! The people of Ray
consider themselves fortunate indeed
to be offered such pleasant ways of
showing their patriotism. The girls
very modestly attribute much of the
success to the music, and certainly
such music as is furnished by the Ray
Con. band would inspire any one to
great deeds, such as spending money
for the cause. Most everything was
donated. Lighting was done by Mr..
Rickerson, carpenter work by Ray
Con. carpenters, pies and other things
from Chocolate Shop and Miller Bros,
so it is all clear profit for the Red
Cross fund-two hundred and fifty
dollars.
Buy Christmas presents and be pa
triotic. Yes, 1t can be done all at the
same time. Next Friday, December
II, is the day set for the Red Cross
bazaar to be held in the Guild house.
Everything in the way of useful and
attractive gifts will be for sale. Any
one wishing to make donations, please
bring them to the Guild house as early
as convenient Friday morning. Two
chances. you see, to do your bit. First,
donate something, then buy many
things, for you will be able to find
here suitable gift for each and ev-
cry member of the family"
A suggestion has been made that
each of those long blue strips of ma
terial left after cutting the pajamas
be made to do something for their
country. What about making them
into attractive braided rugs so much
in vogue just now? A brilliant idea.
but who knows how? Surely, there is
woman in camp who has had expert
ence in this art. Such a one would be
rendering great service to the Red
Cross by volunteering her services in
directing the work.

AM l THE NATIONS KEEPER?

People who disclaim being pacifists
have often an airy attitude of aloof-
ness and superiority to the struggle
OF the nation, and feel, like Romaine
ROLAND, that they can live "above the
battle" When they deign to direct
their attention to passing events it is
often to criticise, and plead the excuse
that some must remain detached in
order that the worlds sanity may be
restored when the proper time comes.
TO such may be recommended the
question put by the Continent, Chi
cago, who is responsible for carrying
on the war, now that it is begun?"
The forces that carry out it's details,
of course, can easily be found. "But
who is to back the whole thing? Who
carries the main burden and the re-
sponsibility?" The answer will per-
haps come as surprise to others be-
sides the class signalized at the be-
ginning. The Continent insists: CIV
erybody in the nation" There is no
process, it finds, "by which any mem
bers of the national life can eliminate
themselves, absolving themselves
from responsibility" For:
1--WE are all in it. For each man
the general duty sharpens down to a
point which thrusts into his own life.
Nor can it be escaped by an easy
sense OF the corporate duty. Calcu-
lating the minimum which each per-
son should accomplish, on the suppo-
slt1on that every other person will do
that same minimum, is idle. Saving
such a fraction of an ounce of butter
each week, or reducing by such a
petty measure the use of meat or
wheat, is only an appeal to the latent
selfishness of the nation. 1t really
seems to signify that the war can be
accomplished without any great sacri-
flee from anybody. But if the expert
ence of the other warning nations is a
guide, that is grave error. Nothing
but cutting sacrifice will do what the
world needs now. Nothing but a
sharpened sense of individual respon-
sibility will carry the nation safely
through this crisis. There is no hope
from men who are still seeking their
slothful ease, resenting intrusion or
