A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS

The War Council of the Amer
lean Red Cross has conceived
that a great national purpose
will be served by having men,
bership in the Red Cross almost
as universal as citizenship.
Although pledged as nation
to, the national purpose during
/ this great crisis, it will not be
granted TO a large percentage
Of us to play a part in the fight
ing branches of our countrys
service.
All OF us, however, can be
identified with the Red Cross.
which in these times when whole
nations are organized for war
fare. is big enough and strong
enough to carry some of the bur-
den for our soldiers, our sailors
and our Allies.
We want a Red Cross of three
quarters Of million members
in Michigan. We want the
strength and support that will
grow from this army of mem
. bers.
Christmas time has been set to
attain this goal, because the Red
Cross and Christmas spring
from the same spirit, and these
two great symbols of mercy,
sacrifice and cheer may well be
united. On this, our first Christ
mas in the war, the Red Cross
symbol will add, not a spirit or
detection, but the thought OF
serious purpose and sacrifice
which through accomplishment
it represents.
1t is hoped that from this
Christmas campaign OF 1917
will grow permanent custom,
which will increase the signi-
ficance both OF Christmas and ,
the Red Cross.

THANKSGIVING AT
CAMP CUSTER.
(By Dad)

(By Dad)
OF Course
Thanksgiving dinner at Custer
Was served in one course,
And to get to the Wind-up
You must take any course;
But when you had got there,
You just quit,-Why OF course,
And as / remember,
1t wasn't so coarse.
Camp Custer had the latch string
outside, and the glad hand inside to
those who were fortunate enough to
be guests there on Thanksgiving.
On entering the Mess room, we
were struck with the lavish dec
orations. The kitchen was screened
off with autumn boughs and ever
greens, which while they hid the i'm
mense range and cooking utensils,
allowed the oder of roast turkey and
pumpkin pie to ooze through. The
walls were covered with pictures and
colors representing all the holidays
from Halloween to the Passover.
Santa Claus, George Washington,
Black cats, Flags, Owls, Eagles,
Japanese storks and Chinese lanterns
were interspersed among strips Of
crepe paper and bunting, making a
cross between Dante's inferno and an
Autumn Sunset. But when we sat
down on the benches beside the crude
tables, / gazed with awe on the
government contract that faced me,
which consisted of slices of white
meat and the drum sticks, that had
formerly been used by some stately
gobler, fanked with dishes Of dress
ing, mashed potatoes with brown
gravy, French peas and cranberry
sauce. There were also inserts and
outskirts of jelly, olives, pickles,
celery, cheese, oranges, apples, nuts,
candy and hot cocoa.
When we commenced filing away
the viands, one of the boys brought
in a photograph that must have been
doing time when our veteran friend
Rowland first ran for Justice of the
Peace. He opened up the throttle,
jumped on the accelerator and began
to shoot the records like a machine
gun operator. Some of the records
had evidently been used to clean
shoes on, as the needles would fire.
quently go across lots to hurry
through and start another.
The operator suddenly got up,
picked up a stack of pies, came over
and deity dealt couple off the top
and with a cherry "Go to 'em" went
back and fed another record into the
Flaming Mill.P
We had to throw up the job and
declare all bets off, as our stomach
distension registered 85 pounds pres
sure and we had no vaseline.
If any one tells you that the boys
at Camp Custer don't get good grub,
tell him he is mistaken. If he says
they waste food, call him liar, Gf
he is smaller than you are), for on
inspecting several garbage cans, we
failed to find anything but potato
skins and mess kit scrapings. The
meat trimmings and bones go into
soup stock, the left over meat into
hash and the stale bread is used for
buildings.
The boys all seem hale, hearty and
happy; and | wish to say, that the
Mess sergeant, the Cook, the Phono-
graph man, and all the members of
Truck Co. 4, Ammunition Train 80,
all have the best wishes and hearty
thanks of the writer.

FIRST WAR CHRIST MAS

1t is our first Christmas in the
War.
Millions Of our boys are away
from their homes, in camps, on
the sea, and in the trenches.
Let your Red Cross banner
wave from holly wreath and
Christmas green to show that
you and yours are enlisted In
it's service.
Light the Red Cross Christmas
candle and let its rays light up
the folds of the emblem OF
mercy; and this:
Bind in inseparable union the
Christmas spirit of service and
the Red Cross mission of hum
anity.
The Red Cross has 100000
Members.
1t needs 100000 Members.
That means 100000 new
Members.

FIRST ARIZONA. HAS MONTHAND
 HALF T0 CLOSE

Unless the First Arizona is recruit ed to war strength by August f, the regiment will lose it's identity as an Arlzona unit in the national army, and its officers and men will be scattered to the four winds among the regiments filled by the selective draft.
 The efforts to recruit men for the First Arizona have been certainly dlscouraging. The regiment is still short 1200 men, and the prospects of getting them by August up to this time seemed very slim. but a big drlVe has been started by the Ari- Zona Council of Defense for recruits, and it is now pretty certain that Ari- zona will have representation by unit bearing the states name in the new army.
 The failure of the young men of the state to respond has been due in a great measure to the belief that the regiment will be left here for police duty on the border and will not see service in France. This is not the case, however, The national guard regiments are to be concentrated in len great cantonments and intensivek framed for service with the first con tingent of a half million men to be sent to France.
 These men. who have extensive military training, will naturally be first on the firing line and will get there long before the men chosen by the selective draft. There vii be more opportunity for promotion and q better chance to win distinction in state regiment like the First Ar- Zona than in regiments filled later by the selective draft
 It would be a lasting disgrace to the state to have it said all over the land that Arizona could not raise a single regiment to represent the state in France.

DRIVE TO SAVE FOODS 1T THIS VALLEY STARTS

Save the surplus food is the plea of the Arizona Council of De- fense, to be reiterated until the decree shall have found a permanent rest ing place in the mind of every person in the state of Arizona.
 To waste food is a crime, not only against ones own good judgment. but against the whole country, insists the counil and only enemies are per mitted to commit crimes against the country in these days of warfare
 It is the endeavor of the Council of Defense to lend it's organization to- ward the equalization of supply and demand, to bring together the per son with too much foodstuffs and the one with too little, and therefore the council announces in it's cam- paign for saving surplus foods that anyone wishing to dispose of excess foodstuffs or those who desire to ob- tain the same shall telephone the headquarters of the council in the state house-telephone 1884
 MISS Grace Tufts has charge of this department and prompt atten ' tion will be given to all calls. Mrs. Charles E. Schultz, chairman of the clearing house committee of the wom- ans auxiliary of the Arizona Council of Defense, has placed Miss Tufts in charge. As local demonstrator of i preserving, canning and drying fruits l and vegetables, Miss Tufts is at the i service of the women.
 1 Word of apricots going to waste ill MaricOpa county has been brought to the council from different locali- ties The crop of this fruit is So great as to swamp the demand. Some farm CTS, it is said, have offered apricots free to persons who would pick them. From near CashiOn comes information of eighty acres of apricots going to waste, partly because of the over supply and partly because there is a shortage of labor.
 i All this can be remedied, the coun- cil is certain, if all such cases are brought immediately to the attention of the council. Call 1884, and do your bit to save the surplus food that is i going to waste.
