H0NE: WORK |S ENLARGED BY
 ORGANIZATION

| Rev. Edward D. Raiey, general sec retary of the Arizona New Mexico Sunday School association and ardent i prohibition worker in both states, has made adjustments with his other work | so that he can give part time to the growing work of the Arizona Children ] Home association.
 MT. Raley will act in the capacity of 1 general superintendent of the home. The volunteer work being done by the l good women in Tucson and other parts of the state, will be continued without interruption. In fact, it is the plan of MT. Raley to enlarge the scope and effectiveness of the volunteer work in different parts of the state, by the en- | largement of the volunteer work in the various counties and cities.
 Some good laws were passed at the ! fast legislature, relating to work of this nature, especially the one designed to ilelp dependent widows with children. The most sane and economical method [ of caring for dependent children is through this method --:;iat of giving the mother enough to care for her own children. But there are some children l who have no parents or who have par ents not fit to care for them. The ideal way to care for these is to find a good home for them where they will be Iadopted and given a chance. There are many children of this class in Arizona. i Every time child like this is placed in good home, the probability is that 1 the placing is saVinS d child, making Q man or woman and saving the state from the affliction of a future criminal.
 There is a third class Of children who need caring fof just as truly | the other two classes: The half or phaned child with parent incapaci- tated, for some reason or other, to properly care for the child, but whC does not want to surrender the child for adoption. The home in Tucson takes care of such children until other plans are made for the child.
 There are also children who must be taken at once from their present home and they must be cared for until Q home can be found for them. Ther are several such in the home now, and they are ready for adoption.
 Officials of the home wish to an nounce to the people of the state that the work, formerly done by the Cali fornia Childrens home-through its agent, Rev. A. G. Gunnett, has beer turned over to the Arizona home and in the future, all work for the homeless children who need homes will be under the jurisdiction of the Arizona homo with MT. Raley as the superintendent and all moneys will in the future re- main in Arizona and be used for chil- dren here.
 It should be said here that the worl -done by MT. Gunnett along this line 1T Arizona, has been well done and ht turns over the work without stair upon it. This fact will make the worl in Arizona easier and it is to be hoped that the work may be carried on in tn, same honorable and satisfactory man ner.
 MT. Raley will continue to live il Phoenix at 1416 East Mckinley stree and will be glad to help ony one wht desires to adopt child or to attend tt any neglected, indigent, or orphaned child
 Mir. Raley would like it to be alst understood that the children's hom, will not in any way interfere with hi Sunday school and other work in Ari zona. The change will be made witt reference to the New Mexico work.
 Any one. wishing to get in direc communication with the home. shoulS write Mrs. J. W. Buchanan 1239 Nortl Sixth street, Tucson, Arizona.
