WOMAN BOUGHT TICKET FOR
 BARTSCH
SHE DID so AT HIS RE- QUEST AND THEN NO- TIFIED OFFICER THAT HE INTENDED TO GET OUT OF COUNTRY.
(From Saturdays Daily.J

Arthur F. Bartsch who with other Germans in Prescott were being in- vestigated last week by secret ser vice agents of the Federal govern ment is no longer in the city. He left Prescott on the early morning south bound train on the Fourth and yes terday was in Phoenix. It was cur rent rumor here that he was to be placed in a detention camp, but evil dently no evidence was found against him to justify such action or the agents would have had him under surveillance and he would not have been permitted to leave.
 Bartsch was on friendly terms with Mrs Susan Glover who was a stenog- rapher in the law office of Haworth x Ling. He presumed upon her ac- quaintance to ask her on Wednesday to buy him a ticket to Phoenix. Sus- pecting that he was preparing to leave the country she consented at once to do so. believing that he would unfold his plans to her. She procured the ticket and also loaned him a handbag and after doing so telephoned to Mir. Ling, who is assis- tant county attorney asking him to meet her at the Owl Drug store, in order, she says to apprise him of Bartsch's plans to the extent that she knew of them She also endeavored, Il. IT. Haworth by telephone but that gem tleman was not at home. According to Mrs. Glover's statement to the Journal-AIiner, NIT. Ling was not disposed to take any action that night. As he had been in touch with the Federal agents, it is probable that he did not believe such action was justified at that time. Bartsch left a few hours later on the 4 a. m. train and as it became known that she had purchased the ticket for him, rumor became rife that she was a confeder- ate and aided in his departure. To prove that this report is baseless, Mrs. Glover has the following writ ten statement from Mir. Ling.
 CT hereby certify that Susan L. Glover communicated with me about eleven o'clock on the night of July 3rd by telephone and later at the Owl Drug Store by appointment, to the effect that she, Susan L. Glover. was of the opinion that Arthur Bartsch was going to leave the city of Pres colt. on the night of the third.
 (Signed) PERRY NJ. LING.
 Mrs. Glover states that Bartsch told her that the reason he was leav- ing was that he was being so badly treated by citizens of Prescott on account of his nativity that he thought it best to go elsewhere.
 Bartsch came to Prescott about SIX months ago to work for William Paar at the Head Hotel. Later he was employed as an accountant by the United Chino Oil & Refining Company. At one time he was a lieutenant in the German army, prior 10 the war. leaving that country about five years ago, and after spend ing year on the continent went to Mexico. from which place he migrat- ed to Arizona.

HUNS MUST BE LICKED SAYS
 ]. l. BYERS
BRAKEMAN ON LOCAL ROA AID WRITES OF GREAT FIGHT FOR LIBERTY BEING WAGED ACROSS THE WATER.
(From Fridays Dsily.)

Orbit L. Byers, Fist Engineers of Company F., A. E. F. in France, for merly brakeman on the Prescott & Phoenix road, writes to relatives here as follows:
 May 30, 1918. Dear Folks:
 I received the last bunch of papers and surely enjoyed the letters from the boys in France and the home town news. l really don't know what to tell you as l am running over with joy and excitement and as cheery as kitten after the day is over and night is settling down. The Hun has started his work for the night throw ing his heavy shells at us but l am we'll out of reach at the present time I will be up there as soon as it gets dark, about nine o'clock. l saw two planes tangle today and the French plane with an American pilot dropped down out of little cloud. The next moment the Hun was in a blaze falling far down to the earth and a cheer went out as if some one had scored at ball game. It is real joy to watch them shoot Germans.
 'I am somewhat homesick but l don't want to come home until the Hun is wiped from the earth. l am here to do my duty so that one rob Der nation called Germany has no power to rule and conquer the world as it has set out to do. If that aim was won it would mean reign of darkness and brute force over all the tribes of mankind But 1t must not be won: right is stronger than might. Liberty overcomcs slavery and the signal victory over Prussian pagan ism is sure. If we want to share in it we must do our part, and l will fight until the last breath so that government for people and by the people shall be established. Sherman was right but we would live in place worse than hell if the Germans should win. This is Memorial Day, and I was out to the military ceme- tery where some of our boys have been laid at rest and taps have sounded for the last time. They have given their all to uphold old Glory.
 Your loving son,
 Orbit l.. Byers.'

"Well, you see,' replied the young man." I work in Prescott and I won't get my pay check until late Satur- day evening after you have closed up, and right now haven't got the money to spare and don't think that will have it until after 1 get my pay this week."
 And you contemplate matrimOny in spite of the fact that you are so short of funds?" asked the deputy.
 "Yes, I have heard since I was a little kid that two can live cheaper than one, and so guess that Hazel and I can get along on what l am earning now, even though I haven't saved much so far. But seein' as how you won't be open on Sunday, couldn't we make some arrange ments so that I could get credit for the price of license until Monday''
 "No,' replied Miss Cartmell, "this office is operated on a strictly cash basis-cash and carry so to speak and if you haven't the necessary funds this week, I'd suggest that you postpone the happy event until the following week or else make ar engagements to get one of your friends to stake you to the S200 so that the ceremony could go ahead without be- ing slowed down by reason of a H. nancial embarrassment
 The young man seemed downcast at this prospect, but after Uncle Pat Farley, the clerk, had told him that two people could live nowadays for next to nothing, the prospective groom frightened up bit and said that he would go out and talk things over with Hazel and see if they couldn't figure out some scheme whereby the necessity of another weeks delay in the nuptial event could not be obviated.

LAKE WATSON IS
 CLOSED TO FISHERMEN
From Saturdays Daily)


 Due to the carclessness of many grown Up men as we'll as boys, it has been found advisable to close the fishing grounds at Lake Watson. For weeks, people have been fishing, first without obtaining a license from the board of supervisors and then, with out any regard for the game laws whatsoever.
 Lake Watson is privately owned and through the courtesy of the Chino Valley Wateruscrs Associa- ton. and Mir. Sigler, the Gavapai county Chamber of Commerce stock cd this beautiful pond, two years ago with bass and catfish, this with the vicw of affording real sport to the citizens of the county, as well as visitors. Hundreds of baby fish have been caught and the older ones without regard to number. In order 10 protect the fish now Tn the pond and insure an adequate number to make fishing possible next year, this lake has been closed for this sea- son and signs have been placed in prominent places surrounding the lake advising of this action. It IS the intention of Game Warden Hicks, the Chino Valley Watcruscrs As sociation and the Chamber of Com mcrce to see that the ruling is strict lv enforced

The True Artist.

The artist is always child In fresh
ness of feeling; in unworldly delight
in the things which do not add to ones
estate, but which make for inward
joy and peace, and that easy posses
sion of the world which brings the
sense of freedom, the right to be hap
Ply, and the faith that life is greater
than its works, and IL man more i'm
portant than his toll. A race, like an
individual, must get this consciousness
of possession before the work of the
day becomes imperative and absorbing.

CHRISTMAS IN OTHER LANDS
Children of Russia, Spain and italy
Devote Day to Worship In
Their Churches.

The children of Russia, Italy and
ship at their churches and receive
their presents on January 6.
On this same day French children
have n great celebration and cut the
"kipg's cake" which is round cake,
usually, with china image baked in
it. Whoever cuts the slice that con-
tains the image is king or queen for
the day, and the rest of the children
must do everything the king or queen
does.
In Norway and Sweden they have
Christmas services in their churches
ut four o'clock in the morning and
the kind-hearted children scatter
wheat for the hungry birds.
Germany was the first country to use
Christmas trees, and from England we
get our idea of hanging the stockings
by the chimneys, burning the yuIe log
and hanging up the branches of mistle-
toe.
In Holland on Christmas eve the
children fill their stockings with hay
end oats for the white horse that they
believe Santa Claus rides. In the
morning they find the hay and oats
gone and instead are presents for good
children and rod or chunk of coal
fer the bad ones. The young men Of
the town arise at two o'clock in the
morning and sing Christmas hymns,
carrying star on a high pole that
is lighted by a candle inside of the
star. The singing of Christmas car
OILS is the way we follow the story in
the Bible, when the shepherds heard
4he angels sing when Christ was born:

HOLY CITY'S CHRISTMAS TIME
Church of the f:ativity-Guards
on Duty Day and Night.

Although much has been written up
on the subject of Christmas in Beth
lehem, writes Harold j. Shepstone in
the Wide World, and we have had
glowing accounts of its gorgeous pro-
cessions and ceremonies, none appears
to have been bold enough to tell the
world of the distressing scene which
may be witnessed in the one spot on
earth where man would expect peace
to reign at that glad season of the
year. Christmas is a long business at
Bethlehem. First come the Latin cere
monies, which take place on December
%, followed 13 days later by the Greek
services, while IS days later comes the
Armenian Christmas feast. The serv-
ices are held in the Church of the Ma
tivity, one of the most remarkable edi
of the church is the grOtto or mnnger
1t is a small underground chamber
said to be the actual site of the stable
where the Savior was born. Just in
front of the altar is a silver star, let
into the marble floor, said to mark the
exact spot of the nativity.
In fhe various ceremonies the bit
terest rivalry exists between the vari
Gus sects, and even during the ordinary
services Turkish soldiers have TO be
on guard day and night in the church
to prevent strife. On special occasions
such as Christmas time, an extra force
of soldiers is necessary If order is to
be maintained. 1t is during Christmas
festivities that the church is cleanGc
To prevent quarrels among the rivs.'
priests the authorities many years age
set down definite rules as to what por
tions of the walls, pillars, floors, etc,
this or that body may clean or sweep
Despite these elaborate precautions
however, trouble often arises. During
the Christmas festivities of 1913
deplorable scene was witnessed in the
sacred building. Two sects disputed
the rights to clean a certain portion
of the church. They went to the gov
ernor of Bethlehem and he decided
certain sect possessed the right to do
the work. When they started to sweep,
however, the rival priests flew at them
and soldiers had to hold one sect back
while the other did the sweeping.

Farmhouses Modernized.

As farmhouses become adapted to
the taste of the women who are, in
so many cases, taking over their man
agement, it is found that many of the
old institutions of the farmhouse
the parlor, the many small rooms. the
dark halls-are disappearing. Parti-
tons are torn. out to make spacious
living rooms; porches are added, and
everything is arranged for the utmost
convenience of the housekeeper who
is also tender of the fields.-Exchange.

Duty Brings Vision

Tolstoi tells a lovely little
story of two pilgrims who set
out for Jerusalem. Yelesei
stopped to help a starving fam
lily. He bought food, fetched
water, split wood, started the
great oven fire, nursed and fed
the sick, redeemed the mortgage
on the home, and bought back
the COW, horse, and scythe with
which the living was earned.
His money was all gone, and he
could not hope to overtake his
companion on the read, so he
returned home and devoted him
self again to daily duty. Yetim
would not pause to help anyone.
He reached Jerusalem, visited
the sacred places, obtained earth
from Calvary, water from the
Jordan, and blessed amulets of
every kind, but because of the
throng he could not reach the
Holy Sepulchre. Yet, under the
lamps themselves where the.
blessed fire burns before all, he
saw n vision of Yelesei, wearing
halo of shining glory about
his head. For Yefm had
brought his body to the Holy
Land, but Christ himself had
come to the soul of Yelesei. And
he learned that in this world
God bids everyone do his duty
till death-in love and good
deeds.

2 teaspoonfuls Gin l pound cranberrles
nGmon j pound canned

To prepare the cranberries, pineap-
pie, apricots, and apples, cut the
fruit in small pieces-eXcept the cram
berries which are left whole-and
cook each in honey until soft. Re
move from the fire and dry in very
slow oven. A little water SHOULD be
added to the honey in which the cram
berries cook. To any honey left over
from cooking the fruits add enough
more to make the two cupfuls used in
mixing the cake. Place the fruit in
large dish and sift over it one-half of
the flour, mixing thoroughly. Sift the
soda with the remaining flour. Bring
the honey and the butter to the boiling
point and while still hot add the
spices. When the mixture is cool add
the well-beaten yolks of eggs, then the
flour, and finally add the well-beaten
whites and the fruit. The cake should
be divided into three or four parts
and put into buttered dishes covered
with buttered paper tied closely over
the top. Steam for five hours, remove
the paper, and bake in slow oven for
one hour.
