"Pony Bird

Come, listen, my children. and YOU shall hear
OF a wonderful bird you need not fear.
She's sturdy and strong, gentle and true,
So want to tell you of things she will do.
She runs her feathers and spreads her wings.
Then cocks her head and looks at things
And blinks her eye and squawks aloud
When she spies old Dobbin in the crowd.
Since Polly was born she's gained some fame
With her high front wheels and flexible frame
So she can turn so short around
And travel the most uneven ground.
Now, if you will let this Polly Bird
She will raise the crop to feed your herd.
She has the power and some to spare
And is willing to work most anywhere.
She's a mighty good thing to have around
To do your belt work and pillow your ground
And My, O, My, it is such fun
just to hear her motor run
AS it so easily huns along
Merrily singing a happy song.
She's direct on high and direct on low,
So let in the clutch and see her go,
Pulling three plows as straight as a die
Far as you see with the naked eye
Then turns around and back she comes
Turning the dirt as her motor huns
Deep enough to increase the yield
In tough old sod or stubblefield.
She will haul your hayload up the lane,
Then across the field to load up again,
And never pause but to fill her tank
With Gasoline or Oil so rank,
She will fill your slo and husk your corn
And haul the wool when the sheep are shorn.
She will do your discing and drill your wheat,
Thus raising food for people to eat.
She will do these things and then some more
From Pacific coast to Atlantic shore,
I nthe Middle West from North to South,
Then haul the crop to the market mouth.
Now you may not know to we figure things
That Polly should have both wheels and wings;
Perhaps you think her a very queer bird,
But let me tell you, if you have not heard,
You'd be pleased with this powerful factor
For she is the famous r TRACTOR.
Now Polly is good and gracious, too,
And would gladly make a date with you,
But pending arrangements for such meeting
We send you this New Years Greeting.
Isidor Hanten Co.

Saving Butter at N. A. N. s.

The Northern Arizona Nor nal School pupils are getting in line with the conservation plans of the Government. Last week they agreed to have one butter less day week, thus saving 30 pounds of this needed dairy product. They also decided to use less butter at meals after a test proved that the small DOT tions left on plates after each meal amounted to two pounds. They are figuring out other methods on saving sugar and other foods.

The boy you cheered when he marched away, will stand knee deep in trench mud; he will face poison gas and deadly flame. He will endure all the terrors of modern battle. That's his bit. Your bit, perhaps, is to save one slice of bread a day for him.
 There must be more than war munitions in the hands we stretch across the sea. The cause of democracy must be fed as we'll as armed.

Will there be a municipal Christmas tree this year? Last year it was said that there was not time enough in which to prepare for tree, but the tree was big success and gave pleasure to every child in town. Probably the stockings full of goodies and the dolls and horns were the only Christmas gifts received by good per centage of the children. This year the problem of food is harder to meet than ever and unless the community looks af- ter them, many children of Will Hams will have absolutely no Xmas. By ordering now 1t might be possible to purchase toys and candies needed at better prices and insure the youngsters at least these gifts from Santa.

FOOD CARD CAMPAIGN

(Continued from Page 1)
 fair sized crowd of men and women, siXty-three of whom had not previously signed the cards and wished to do so after hearing a stirring, patriotic ad- dress by Reverend Cyprian Vabre, of Flagstaff. Among these were people from Ken lucky, Missouri, New Mexico and California, who took ad- vantage of the opportunity to line up with the Food Admins tration.
 The meeting at the Sultana was one full of interest to all. The audience listened with care to the words spoken by MT. L. 5. Williams, introducing the pledge card cause to the people. After a brief explan- ation of the manner in which the Food Administration hopes the citizens of the country will help, MT. Williams presented Father Vabre as the speaker of the evening.
 As a native of France Father Vabre is well able to judge of the necessity for a complete victory for the allies and gave 8 talk which warmed the en- thusiasm of his listeners to sincere decision to give what ever help they can to the cause.
 Father Vabre stated that the storm has broken loose and the time has come for everyone to put a shoulder to the wheel and shove, forgetting, in so doing, to discuss the administration. Only by cooperation as one bo- dy, can the United States do what must be done. The boys at the front must have the full! support of the "army in the rear" if they are to remain in the trenches, or as Father Vbare pictured it, if the hand that holds the beloved Stars and Stripes aloft on the battle line is to be kept strong enough to keep that flag aloft.
 Mobilization of the entire country as an army cantonment is the solution of the question which has been resOrted to in Europe and Father Vabre is of the opinion that American pat riotism will compel mobiliza- tion of the population of the U. S. when the result of the war is fully felt as vital to all.
 In his plea for the conserva- ton of food he asserted that in many cases the use of fewer luxuries would be most benefic- ial to the health, while helping the food question.
 In closing Father Vabre made each person in the audience realize that it was a personal duty to contribute support to the Food Administration. After enthusiastic applause, at the conclusion of this speech, pledge cards were distributed to the audience and signatures secured as stated above. The regular program of the picture show was then given.

Food for the Starving

If the starving children of Belgium, Serbia, Poland and other war stricken countries could be placed before the American people that they might see with their own eyes the suffering of these unfortu- mates, the response would be far more generous than it has been as yet. And yet the suf- fering of these is just as real and their need just as great as as tho war had devastated our own country and these little ones were our own children.
 The suggestion has been made that each American when substituting potatoes and corn for other foods that might be more pleasing to the palate, should keep the thought in mind, that the wheat bread and the other food thus saved, are going directly to those suffering little ones. For the sakes of these starving ones, surely the American housewives will give the, response hoped for in the campaign for food conservation and save and substitute until there is an abundance for the for the Allies and for the homeless and starving out casts rendered such by the war

Six months ago the slogan was, Raise More Spuds." Now, it should be, Eat More Spuds." America has far larger pota- to crop than it has ever had before. There is a shortage of wheat. That shortage may be largely made up by substituting potatoes for wheat products, in a hundred different ways. Eat more spuds.

FAT OF LAND FOR SOLDIERS

Continued from Page D far as Yuma with us. We had a pig parade at Yuma and passed in review for Governor Campbell. We stayed in Yuma four hours and the whole town turned out to see us.
 We went over the Southern Pacific to Los Angeles, then ov- CT the Santa Fe to this camp. We put up our tents Friday and Saturday. Sunday we did some heavy resting. Monday, we settled down to eight hours day drill. When we get thru with this camp we will be train ed soldiers and also know how to dig trenches.
 We are the senior regiment m the camp, also the best drill led in the camp.
 The San Diego papers said we were the finest troops that had come to camp and when California paper says that about a regiment that came from Arizona, there is some thing to it.
 The California troops re- ceived six thousand drafted men from camp Lewis (Amer- ican Lake Washington the first of the week. We are to receive three thousand of our men from Camp Funston (Fort Riley) the first of next week. All of the companies are to be filled to two hundred and fifty men. Now they will not aver age fifty men to the company.
 We have a couple of advant- ages here that we didn't have at Naco. One is gas to cook with and the other is electric lights in our quarters. Electric lights don't make so much diff ference because we have been using candles so long that we have learned how to use them. |
 I don't know how large this camp is and haven't made any attempt to walk around it, but from where we are we can look l in any direction and see noth- ing but tents and mess sheds.
 We have train service to San Diego. Four cars each way every day. Mail comes twice | a day.
 We have three Y. M. c. As. on the regimental street; they are one mile apart. The street 1 is over three miles long and | paved with concrete. The Y.- M. c. A. have free moving pie lures twice week. The other nights are stunts nights; some regiment will try to outdO the others in giving plays, boxing and so forth.
 There is everything in this camp that has any thing to do with infantry, from cavalry to artillery. Two or three car loads of shovels and picks came in so that means a little trench digging in the near future. San Diego is fourteen miles away. We are allowed a 12 hour pass three times week, Wednesday, Saturday and Sun day. Twenty-Five per cent of each company is allowed to go each day.
 It is nearly time for retreat so will have to quit,
 Yours truly,
 Lyle Mclean

strikes were declared unlawful and malicious" lnjunctions, previously given by Federal Judge Dayton in West Virginia to prevent the union activities were sustained.
 The court admitted the right of workmen to organize into unions for lawful methods, but held that the en- ployers-the Hitchnan Coal and Coke company and the Eagle Glass Manu- featuring company of West Virginia were entitled to operate thoir plants "open shop and to protection and that the injunction against labor unions were ordered for that purpose.
 The Majority Opinion.
 'The supreme court holds", the ma jority opinion says in part, that the plaintiff was acting within it's law full rights in employing it's men upon the terms that they should not be members of the United Mine Work CTS; that, having established this working agreement between it and its employees with the free assent of the latter, the plaintiff is entitled to be protected; that the fact that the employment was terminable by eith- CT party at any time made no differ ence since the right of the employees to strike ssOr to leave the work gave not right to defendants to irstigate a strike; that the value of the relation lies in the reasona ble probability that by properly treating it's employees

ganize the mine; and that the con- duct of defendants in so doing was unlawful and malicious.
 Not Bona Eide Campaign.
 "But the court. further holds that what the defendants were endeavor- ing to do was not bonafide effort to enlarge the membership of the union, since the new members were not desired or sought except as a means to the end of compelling the owners of the mine to change their methods of operation.
 "'fhis court also declares that it is erroneous to assume that all mea- sures which may be resorted to in the effort to unionize mine are lawful if they are peaceable-that is. if they stop short of physical violence or coercion through fear of it; the court holding that any violation of plain tiff's legal rights contrived by de- fendants for the purpose of inflicting damage, or having that as it's neces- sary effect is as plainly contrary to Law as if it involved a breach of the peace, and that combination to pro cure concerted breaches of contract by plaintiffs employees constituted such 8 violation.
 Summing up t.ie matter, the court holds that the purpose of defendants to bring about strike at the mine in order to compel plaintiff through fear of financial loss to consent to the unionization of the mine as the lesser evil, was an unlawful purpose and that the methods resOrtod to by the organizer were unlawful and mali cious methods, not. to be justified as fair exercise of the right to in crease the membership of the union. But that since plaintiff was threat ened with danger as the result of de- fendant's efforts it was entitled to be protested by an injunction. and for that reason the decree of the circuit

and pfFing them fair wages, and averting reasonable grounds of com plaint plaintiff will be able to re. tain them in it's employ, and that de. fendants could not be permitted to interfere with these rights without some just cause or excuse.
 By way of Justification, defend- ants set up the right of workingmen to form unions and to enlarge their membership by inviting other work ingmen to join. The opinion of the court freely comedies this right. pro- vided the objects of the union be proper and legitimate which is as- sumed to be true in general sense. with respect to the United Mine Workers of America.
 But the court holds that it is er- roneous to assume that this right is so absolute that it may be exercised Under any circumstances and with. out any qualification; that in truth like other rights, it must always be exercised with reasonable regard for the conflicting rights of others.
 Since they had notice that plain t11fs mine was non-union, that none of the men had right to remain at work there after joining the union and that the observance of this agree. ment was of much importance and value both to plaintiff and t. it's men who had voluntarily made the agree. ment tae defendants were under a duty to exercise care to refrain from unnecessarily injuring plaintiff; yet they deliberately selected that meth cd of enlarging the union member ship by persuading man after man to join their union and having done so to remain at work. Keeping the em- ployer in ignorance of their number and identity until SO many should have joined that by stopping work in body they could coerce the employ CT and the remaining miners to or
