Concentrating in the Red Cross

Considerable wisdom is displayed in the plan of consolidating relief activities within the Red Cross organization. Multiplicity of organizations leaves the people somewhat in the position of the jack of all trades who is good at none for with worthy movements going forward in of diff ferent associations societies and organizations formed with single object in view it is impossible for the patriotic belong to all and work for all Thus by concentration the Red Cross may look after all these different branches of necessary patriotic labor and do justice by ali.
 War brings many duties that to care for all needs a supreme effort on the part of the people Those at war and those home must be looked after 1ood must be conserved, supplies must be made and great movements like Liberty loan must be looked alter For this reason is well put into the hands Of single organization all the welfare work so that when one wishes to aid in this or that worthy move lheht' a contribution of time money can be made to the Red Cross and the desired result be ac compshed
 When We lay aditonal burdens upon the Red Cross we must remember that We must give just that much more or time or money te its organization Now that the Red Cross is being somewhat de-centralzed it's duties to those left home by those who have gone abroad may be more directly handled but we should always remember that whereas the Red Cross is an mat We give support and help to the soldiers and their families It is merely their just return for what they are giving to us

Facts and figures given in the Presbyterian Ad- vance with regard to the loyalty of the Negro race make pleasing reading For instance, shown that in spite of all of rumors about German gold stirring uprising of the Negroes of the South the best refutation this csumny was the fact that there was such uprising.
 Tt is very gratifying therefore" says the Pres byteran Advance ito discover that the splendid loy- alty of the Negro is being proved in many ways Of course, there enough, ignorant and vicious-one might say, insane-Negroes constitute the excep- tons which prove the rule; but in registration in subscriptions to Liberty bonds and in contributions to Red Cross funds the Negroes of the South arc proving magnificently that, to the extent of their their loyalty by their works"
 The article goes on to tell of an old Negro farmer in West Tennessee who having saved $50 from last years crops, that he would have to borrow this year, deliberately to town and made ar engagements with a merchant supply him on credit as heretofore and then offered his whole savings s50 to the local Red Cross committee. The Advance wants to know of any white who has stood ready to make such sacrifice.

 The balance of the story is best told in the Pres byterian Advances words:
 One of the most stirring speeches of the occasion was made by Isaac Fisher, director general of tho Negro workers, and address was received with more enthusiastic sympathy. That because it throbbed and rang with loyalty. We have not much money said the speaker, but rich as an in devotion. When heard how the Germans treated the women of Belgium he continued some of uc remembered how, fifty years ago, Negroes took their lonely vigils to protect the white while the white men went to war, and determined that we would stand ready to give last drop of blood for the defense of the worlds womanhood. No wonder that the audience went wild in it's approval for in all history there is hardly finer illustration of loyalty than the story of how southern Negroes were true to the trust imposed upon them when land was rent by civil war"

The State Fair

Arizona is justly proud of her state fair. It is worthy institution because it both entertans and instructs our people and our visitors. As all work and play makes Jack dull boy. a fair with entertainment would be very dull and unattractive affair indeed. However the primary object of the is instruct by the time-old system example. Thus farmers the fair find the result of ordinarily successful effort part their fe- lows; what perfection the work of their has been brought and cattlemen in- spired by the sight fine animals improve their herds
 Many years ago the cattle in Arizona and the Salt River Valley were rather different lot, but in the past ten years in the has made so great development in well bred cattle s Arizona and today there very few in the older states which equal in quality the cattle shown at Arizona's great annual fair. because who had the scraggy better animals that the change came about and not little of this in- fuence from such institutions as state fair
 Arizona should stand solidly back of the state fair a state institution. It needs all the support it can get. Entries should be made by those who have suitable articles to enter and when the fair is open, the attendance should be not from section alone but from all the state.
 In Minnesota they have state fair every year which is model for the nation. Hundreds of thou sands of people attend it. It is gathering for the exchange of agricultural and stock ideas where farmers, stockmen and those who produce real wealth of the world gather inspiration. It an position of agricultural, horticultural, home industry and has done world of good in it's for the bettering of the condition of the man who turns to the soil and the fields for his living Just such institution is the Arizona state fair and the time will come when it will take rank with the big ges in the land if it is given support of all our people,
