The Powder Horn"
By Mr.. J. b.

They're skating tonight out on old Powder
And swinging that dear old duck roll,
Inc fancy grape vine," on ice slick and fine
And crossing the stars at the pole.
While over the hill keeps the moon bright and
gay,
sight that brings hearts glad thrill,
His soft silver glow, spreads over the deep snow
And shows us the sport on the hill.
There, gathered together are old folks and
young
What care they how north winds may blow?
Now gripping seats tight they're hollering al
right
Alright, Uncle Bill let 'er co.
Away! they're off, like the winds thru the night,
Just flying, now bumpety bump,
Down hills that are steep, there, all in heap,
They dive in the snowdrift kerplunk.
All. winter you're king, tho the summer be
queen.
When stars the wide heavens adorn,
And memory holds still the joys left to thrill
Of frolic on old Powder Horn.

CHANCE FUR AVIATION CAMP IN PHOENIX
 |S GROWING DAILY

The chances for the selection of the Salt River valley as site for Unit cd States aviation training station have been greatly increased, il is be- lieved, through the receipt on Satur day for the war department at Wash ington of a telegram requesting the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce to for ward. to the war department further data regarding the facilities of this valley with relation to site for an aviation training station.
 The telegram was received by the Chamber of Commerce and was at once turned over to Colonel w. A. Glassford who will compile the data requested, as Colonel Glassford for merly was connected with the avia- tion branch of the United States army.
 The officers of the United States army who are Investigating possible sites for aviation training stations were in Phoenix about two weeks i ago and made a thorough inspection 1 of the valley, assisted by the chamber ] of commerce. and were very favorably impressed. it was reported, and it is 1 the belief that they so made their report to the war department. | mat the war department desires 1 further information at this time in re- 1 gard to this valley leads members ot
 the chamber of commerce to believe that the chances for the selection oi this locality as a site for United States aviation training station are

WORK ATTRACTS GOOD CLASS OF WOMEN

As result of the good wages that women have been able to earn on munitions work, we have never been short of applicants for any kind or work, and our employment at present is limited only by our facilities for training them. In another respect too those conditions have been useful They have had the effect of attracting to munitions work a good class of wo- man who has had a fairly good educa- ton, and We have found that she is capable of far better work and can more easily acquire skill than the type of woman that previously had been common in our textile and other factor ies employing women.
 In 1915 all our employers regarded the introduction of a woman into a machine shop as one of the horrors of war-about on par with Zeppelin bombing and the shortage of sugar Nothing has been more striking than the change of our employers attitude toward women in the last two years.

the conductor. impressing the wearers of
khaki that they must produce tickets or
money to pay for them and within l.
minutes everyone had done so.

strength of wearing the uniform, while a
few actually did not have any money
Nevertheless sympathetic passengers
Clipped in and helped purchase the neces-

Any Weakness Behind the Lines at

Treason, Says Cadorna.

ROME Sept 1.-THE Popolo Romano
explains that Italy is the last Of all war
countries that should be affected by food
shortage, adding: Although poorer than
England and France, and because the pro
tlacted war has brought suffering to the
people, Italy should not let her trouble
appear too much on the surface or at
tempt political demonstrations OF vio-
lencc
The principal excuse for the present un-
rest Is the bread shortage
The newspaper asserts that the govern
ment proposed to issue bread tags on Oct.
H. limiting the individual consumption to
hall a pound daily, since wheat was short
~ million quintals
The recent attacks of the ministry were
based on the Turin incidents, the govern
ment being charged with negligence in
not having foreseen the shortage and
forced the Italian farmers to produce more
wheat, but it appears, says the paper that
shortage was due to lack ot wcrkmen in
the field
Evidence OF the new attitude of the
ministry is shown in Gen Cadorna's mes
sage to a political group in Milan. this

must remember that Italy knows only one

the money began to be Forthcoming, and
since then it has been given i'll amounts
varying in size from p cents to so.
The coupon which appears elsewhere
in this issue provides an easy way to
make the contribution, and in addition
to the satisfaction which givers will de-
rive from the thought of having given
pleasure to the boys in the trenches is
the prospect of receiving a postcard
acknowledgment from one of them. For
it should be remembered that every kit
sent across the water will contain a
stamped card addressed to the person
whose money made possible the ship
ment.
