in sight for the balance of July. This
is the statement of William P. Stewart

temperatures made their appearance
here and kept on coming with regular
ity that citizens suffered intensely.
July 30 was the hottest day in the an
mails of the weather bureau. The mer-

RED CROSS
By THOMAS L. MASON
Editor of Life"

Out where the line of battle cleaves
The horizon of woe,
And sightless warriors clutch the leaves,
The Red Cross nurses go.
In where the cots of agony
Mark deaths unmeasured tide
Bear up the battles harvestry-
The Red Cross nurses glide.
Look! Where the hell of steel has torn
It's way through slumbering earth,
The orphaned urchins kneel, forlorn,
And wonder at their birth
Until, above them, calm and wise,
With smile and guiding hand,
God looking through their gentle eyes,
The Red Cross nurses stand
Here in our sheltered homes we sit,
Remote from wars red sweep,
Doing half-heartedly our bit,
Sleeping our painless sleep.
See! Where the Red Cross flags unrolled
With red, and white, and blue;
Let US pour out our treasured gold
To guide the Red Cross true.

CONGRATULATES NEW
GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA

The gubernatorial Christmas present
effective today when Governor Thomas
4. Campbell steps out of office in Ari-
Eona for Governor George w. P. Hunt,
resulted in Governor Alexander Of this
state sending the following congratu-
latory telegram to Governor Hunt:
Congratulations. Right must pre-
vail. Rejoice with the balance of the
western governors upon your return
into the membership of Democratic
governors. The nation needs your SER
vices in these critical times"
The seating of Governor Hunt is the
result of long litigation in the Ari-
zona courts. The supreme court Of
that state last Saturday declared Gov
ernor Hunt had been legally elected
and Governor Campbell, who had been
holding Office, announced he would
turn It over to Governor Hunt, reserv-
ing. however, the right to file . peti-
ton for rehearing within the 16-day

GRAND OPERA A
COSTLY TIC

There are two sides to the opera
production question, especially in the
United States, where we have no gov
ernmentally subsidized organizations,
said Charles r. Baker, advance man
ager Of the San Carlo Grand Opera
company to make this city visit Dec.
81 and Jan. 1.
Every item that enters into grand
opera production costs approximately
100 per cent more than 1t did two sea-
sons back. Scenery, because of the
analine dyes used in the coloring; cos
tuning, furs, armor, stage properties OF
all kinds, have suffered rise In price
proportionate with everything else that
enters into the daily life. Then there
is the enormous salary list; the rail-
road transportation upon which gov
eminent war tax Of per cent has been
levied. This, as in the case of our 100
members, is in itself a staggering Item.
Then there are the royalties, and the
fees paid the publishers Of the opera
scores.
THE enormous cost of costuming Is
different operas, such as are carried by
the San Carlo company upon its pre-
sent trans continental tour, involves In
itself an immense sum. Salaries, too,
are much higher for the artists. the
musicians, the chorus members and
stage hands. while the special train re-
auired to transport the vast volume OF
scenic effects brings the weekly total
up to q figure almost unbelievable.
Newspaper advertising space near
ly everywhere has increased in cost
while the bill board announcements
have experienced an increase Of 100
per cent in cost.
1.-The San Carlo organization, as 1t
does, SPLENDID production and at prices
that enables all music-lovers to share
in the pleasures of grand opera, alone
has been able to survive the hardships
by which grand opera is hedged about
and Is the only one now on tour in the
| United States. The prices are the
same here as in New York City where
the organization recently shattered all
past records for attendance and re-
ceipts. The San Carlo company, &C
cording to the records, has never can
celled an engagement in its entire his
| tory"

zone Touch Of Mature Makes the

It's q commendable trait that when

we want to share it with others who

the touch Of Nature that makes the

directors OF the Boise Y. M. c. A., it

doubled in size and accommodations
for the three older boys clubs now
actively operating.
