Arizona has done well.

Arizona has done well.
 The government asked for 34 900 men and 36, 900 responded. It was only a proper exhibition of patriotism. The government asked for the loan of four million dollars and over six million came out of hiding. That was mere business-pushing the money along one notch to start general circulation.
 These preliminary war incidents be- ing disposed of, Arizona is now asked to do something really big, something worth while-something that for many perhaps will mean actual sacrifice. President Wilson has asked for dOna tino of one hundred million dollars for the American Red Cross of which ap- proximately S100,000 must come from Arizona. It must be raised specifically for war fund for relief of the Amer ican army and navy and it must be raised during the week of June IS to June 25 to be known the. nation over as Red Cross week.
 It will be done.
 The manner in which it will be done is already planned, outlined and prac- tically ready for eXecution-all ready in fact except the enlistment of a few score more of willing and capable work CTS in each center of population. Vol unteers will be enrolled at any Red Cross headquarters immediately on pre- sentation, without physical examination or the propounding of embarrassing questions as to age. family ties or social affiliations, and will be assigned to service in whatever capacity they seem best fitted
 The jurisdiction of the Phoenix chap ter of the Red Cross is by far the larg- est of the thirteen in the state, embrac- ing all of Maricopa and Pinal counties and along the A. & c. line to Parker. An effort will be made to raise half of Arizona's apportionment, or $50, 900, through the Phoenix chapter which has numerous branches in the more popu- lous centers throughout it's field No announcement has been made pending the disposal of the Liberty Bond sale but work has been going on for days under the direction of the local Red Cross officials and sundry conferences have been held with business and pro fessional men, the result of which will be announced in detail in due season which will be after the completion of organization for field work, Monday

night, June IS on the Jefferson hotel roof garden.
 On that occasion every person, man or woman, who has already volunteered for service, and every person, man or woman, who will then volunteer or who may be susceptible to coaXing, is eX- pected to be present. Not only expected but urged. It is not believed that it will be necessary to conscript for this work, but if it is, let it be understood right now that conscriptiOn will be at tempted, in a nice gentlemanly sort of a way of course for the Red Cross bacon must be brought home next week. This section of the state has made too fine a record thus far to have it marred this early in the war work. Let every one whose heart is in the right place, walk bravely into the Jefferson hotel elevator next Monday evening, smile at the gentlemanly' attendant and say, quietly, Roof garden please"
 Professor John D. Loper. superinten- ! dent of the Phoenix schools, is in charge of this campaign and he's some organizer. More work has been done already than most people know about
 but there will be place for all who can be pressed into the service or the magnitude of this undertaking has not been lightly considered. There are a l few more teams to fill with workers among, the business men and much to
 do in preparing the women for their
 very important part in the enterprise
 men and women both, are wanted at this meeting, which will be addressed l by Governor Campbell and others and during which there will be full eX- 1 planation of the plan of work and the
 organization of the workers.

for America Let it make an offer of the Bermudas to us.
 The Bermudas are a group of 360 specks of islands out in the Atlantic. Their aggregate land acre is 19.3 square miles. Two thirds of their trade is with the United States. They are with in two days steaming distance from New York. They lie close to the route between New York and the Panama canal. A naval force stationed in the archipelago is able to flank that route.
 In the hands of America, the Bermu- das would not be a menace to Great Britain or to any other country. Amer ica needs them to secure the safety of its communications with the canal. It needs them as an integral part of the control of American waters. It needs them the consolidate it's system of de- lenses.
 l America paid 25 million dollars for
 the Danish West Indies. By it's consent 1 to sell the islands to America Denmark demonstrated its good will and lost nothing by the transaction. America might be willing to pay as much as 1 2J0 million dollars for the Bermudas.
 By selling them England would lose

Beside it's other activities, Phoenix is assuming quite an important posi- tion as manufacturing center, and a new concern-The Arizona Machin- cry Manufacturing company-is one of the newest enterprises in the line of industry. This company was or ganiZed last March and is a consoli- dation of the Machinery and Electric company and the Five Points Auto Supply company. The gentlemen in terested in the new company are: F.. A. Trincano, president of the Machine and Electric company, George Mac Donald. former country treasurer: Williams Wallace his deputy; Luke Henderson, mana ger of the Five Points Auto Supply company and Howard E. Harman. formerly of the Seventh Avenue foundry.
 The company is just getting into shape for bushes; in the large build ing at Five Points, 222 to 226 north Seventh avenue. some of the machin- cry is already in and being used. The equipment is the latest thing in the machinery line and is driven by sep arate electric motors. The machinery includes a Heam's cylinder grinder for grinding cylinders from 3x13 to SXl3. This machine runs 56,000 revo- lutions per minute and is entirely automatic in it's operation. There is q 50 ton screw press, lathes, milling machinery power hammer for making springs, and a hardening furnace and complete shop for the manufacture of springs is being added to the plant l.u.t t11 in the rear of the main building One of the latest pieces of machinery is a magnetic chuck for rings or any thing with a flat outside surface A large and small ring grinder have also been added and OIEeT pieces of the latest pattern are 4n route from the manufacturer and will be installed as soon as possible for. although they have just started, there is big amount of business on hand.

 In the northern portion of the state the condition of the cattle ranges con- tinue fair to good, most of the plant ing has been done, and the condition of spring wheat and oats is excellent, while corn and potatoes are looking fair to good.
 In the south portion cattle ranges are fair to poor. Cotton and corn, which were held back by cold weather, now look much better. Wheat harvest has begun; also, the third cutting of alfalfa in the extreme west. Harvest ing of apricots and peaches continues and blackberries are in market.

 By transferring the Bermudas to American sovereignty, Great Britain would confer a lasting benefit upon their population. Union with America would contribute to the prosperity of the people of the islands.
 And Great Britain would give into America keeping one of the keys to America's front door. Let us have the Bermudas.
 A great naval base in the Bermudas would greatly strengthen Americas de- fensive position.F It wuold enable America to strike in the flank any enemy which might attempt attack its coast or it's communications with the canal and through the canal with the Pacific coast.

NIPPON EXPECTS
1917 Will. Be 4
YEAR OF FORTUNE
Japanese Tradition Indi-
Gates Good Luck Will Be
With Orientals.

Toxic, Jan. 25-The year 1917 in
ancient Japanese tradition is known
as the year of the Serpent, believed
by the same tradition to, be ssociated
with good luck and fortune. The out
going year, known as the year OF the
Dragon, fulfilled it's traditional ex-
pectation that it would be accompan-
led by progressiveness and develop
ment for the Empire of Japan.
Among Japanese the serpent is al
ways regarded as the emblem of good
fortune and on that account is re-
vered instead of being killed by the
great masses of the people. The pop
ular Japanese word "mi' meaning
serpent also signifies fruitful be-
cause it's pronunciation corresponds
to the sound of the Japanese word
for fruit. Thus the year of the Ser
pent is fruitful, rich and prosperous.
The goddess Benten, one of the
seven popular gods and goddesses of
fortune, is additionally believed to
be the patron of the Serpent, and at
every shrine dedicated to the popular
goddess of fortune are kept a number
of the reptiles sacred to the deity.
They are treated with reverence and
something of awe as the messengers
of the goddess. No farmer will de-
stroy a serpent, but will rather keep
it and feed it. Many stories are told
of families having amassed wealth
through having kept and fed the cre-
ature in their household as treasure
or sacred thing.
The last year of the Serpent fell in
1905 when the Japanese army scored
great victory over the Russians in
the memorable Manchurian CAM
paign. Also the country witnessed a
prosperous and happy year with UNI
precedented activity and prosperity
in commercial and industrial circles
consequent upon the conclusion Of
peace with Russia.
