Balance fOrWdrO 4,l fl For the six months-July to Decem- Der, 1917, total of s44,O0O was col lected Of this amount membership represented, $7,O00; donation, s750; relief, s250; supplies, s2,50O; war fund, $33,000.
 During the past six months there has been expended for membership, s5,5O0; supplies, $500; miscellaneous purposes, $500; blankets, $700; relief, $500, and to the War Fund in Wash l ington, s25,500, and the War Fund re- , funded to branches, $l,000; total of s39 1000 expended during the past six l months.
 We started the period July, 1916, with no balance on hand and closed the pe- riod, which we have carried for con- veriience up to and including January | 19, 1918, with balance on hand of 1 S9,00. This is for chapter purposes alone We have turned over to the Red Cross War Fund, Washington, the sum of $25,500 collected in Phoenix ana among the branches. In addition to this the sum of s1:100 has been re- turned to certain branches as their 25 per cent portion of the war fund and no record is made of the amount col lected for war fund purposes in Mesa. This donation was made direct to Washington.
 Activities
 The activities which have had the attention of the chapter during the past eighteen months have been so varied and so many that it is difficult to enumerate all of them or to classify them under different heads. We will just touch on the more interesting de- tails of the work, and will tell in a few words of certain efforts which have re- quired many days and many hours to carry to a successful conclusion.
 MilIett Ambulance
 The chapter is indebted to Mrs. Kate c. Millett for her. splendid donation of an ambulance which we are advised has been at the front for some time rendering splendid service. The dona- tion of Mrs. Millett enabled the Red Cross officials in Washington to pur- chase the best type ambulance used by the American army. We are sure that the name as well as the ambulance has already brought pleasure and comfort to great many soldiers.
 s1 Magazines and Books
 The supplying of magazines and lit tie comforts like fruit and vegetables to the boys on the border has been carried on quietly and frequently, and case after case of books has been sent to Camp Funston and to Camp Rear ney. There is need for a still larger supply of good reading matter. and we should make every effort to see that the soldiers are supplied with the righ' sort of material. It is not fair to sent old magazines or very old books, ant suitable, subjects should also be select. ed, keeping in mind who is to receive the reading matter. The soldier is jus as keen to be up to-the-mfnute il world information as we are, and ( copy of well known magazine six o eight months old is just so much vast paper, Considered from the standpoin of information.

 The biggest undertaking of the chapter is that of making surgical dressings and hospital supplies. In this work the chapter has exceeded all expectations. Case after case of gar ments, bandages and other materials has been shipped to headquarters in | San Francisco and when it is remem- bered that one case will contain, in some instances over thousand arti- cles, the bigness of the task will be appreciated. This work is under the | direction of Mrs. w. K. James and the | splendid staff of able assistants.
 Up to the first of the year 11,504 surgical dressings have been made {; 3,975 hospital garments; 2,S37 knitted garments; 1,412 pieces of hospital 53 additional sent to hospitals. Bath robes, slippers, pillows. pillow cases towels and all other things needed in hospital, ward. and in the field have been made by the ladies and sent on tc 1 headquarters in San Francisco fol shipment to Europe.

Your chapter was asked to raise $20.- 900 for the Red Cross War Fund and voluntarily raised it's assessment to s25.00o.. When the raising of the fund was in progress, it was decided that s30. 900 would not be too much for the | district under the Jurisdiction of the | Phoenix Chapter. The actual amount subscribed was s35,000 and there is about sl,OO0 still pledged which will be collected in monthly installments.
 In everything that the chapter has been asked to do. not only has the re- duirement been fulfilled but more than enough has been provided. This big work has been helped by everybody and so far no important refusals have

It is probable that the new board of directors will consider plans for hold ing a monthly conference of heads of all branches of the Phoenix Chapter and possibly some arrangement can be made whereby quarterly confer ence of all interested in Red Cross work in the state can be arranged.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

To successfully finance the war it
is necessary that owners of Liberty
bonds hold heir bonds if possible.
Where for any good reason it is nee
essary for them to turn their bonds
into cash they should seek the ad-
vice of their bankers.
Liberty loan bonds are very de-
sirab1e investments, and crafty indi-
viduals are using various means to
secure them from owners not fam
iliar with stock values and like mat
tiers. One method is to offer to ex-
change for Liberty bonds stocks or
bonds of doubtful organizations rep
resented. as returning a much higher
income than the bonds.
There are various other methods
used and likely to be used, some Of
the gold-brick variety and others less
crude and probably within the limits
of the law. All offers for Liberty
bonds except for money and at mar
ket value should be scrutinized care
fully. The bonds are the safest of
investments and have nontaxable
and other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds,
if possible, is patriotic. To consult
your bankers before selling them is
wise. 4

INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY

This war is to be won not by n
man or one thousand men or one
million men, or one million people.
1t is to be won by the united eff
forts of the individuals of many ma
tons.
Every American citizen has an in
dividhal duty to perform, an indi-
vidual share of the responsibility.
The more powerful and effective the
American forces are the shorter will
be the war, and the shorter the war
the fewer lives lost, the greater the
number of American soldiers who
will return home victorious.
Every American who economies
in consumption of material, who in
creases production, who saves and
lands savings to the government,
does something to help win the war.

CLICK
A New Word-Teaching the Boys
to Be "Sprucie."

In the 81st Division, National
Army, part of which was moved
from Columbia to Greenville, S. c.,
flourishes the "Click School," AS
no civilian and few soldiers will
know what that means, let it re-
corded that a British officer, in lee
turing to the men of the 81st re-
marked how important it was for
soldiers to keep up to scratch on
the click" He explained, in an
swer to questions, that "click" in
British Army slang meant all the
niceties of military manners and
appearance. The word had it's orr
gin in the clicking of an officers
heels when saluting. Gradually it
came to cover all such things as
keeping uniform buttons cleaned,
saluting with the elbow raised to
exactly As degrees, the necessity of
a clean shave, the pressing of uni
forms, and hundreds of other mat
tiers of demeanor, attitude, and gen.
eral appearance.
Not long after the division was
formed, Major General Charles J.
Bailey established what was ofici-
ally called a Courtesy Shcool. 1t
promptly came to be known as the
"Click School," And the division
has "clicked" ever since.

BIG ROAD PROGRAM
FOR ALL COUNTIES

St. Paul, Feb. 9.-The entire
eighty-six counties in Minnesota
will carry out an extensive road.
building program under the direc-
tion of the Minnesota State Highway
department during the present year.
c. M. Babcock, state highway COM
missioner, in touch with the various
county boards since fall, has just
announced that state aid will be
given every country in at least $22,-
200, to which each county will add
to the amount allotted from $4,000
to $3.50.
''There is not county in Mime
sota," said Commissioner Babcock,
"tlrat is not interested in the build
ing of good roads. The progress that
is being made is second to no state
in the country.
"Roads in Minnesota are being
built and maintained for both sum-
mer and winter traffic. This win
ter many counties have had open
roads every day. Traffic has been
heavy, and I think the railroads
burden has been greatly lessened in
Minnesota by this fact.
GAS nearly as is possible the road
building program in all counties, and
the state program, will be carried
out with the idea of doing what is
best to help serve the greatest num-
Der in the nation and to build and
maintain where it will do the most
good toward helping to win the
war"

FIRST GUN FIRED
IN DRY CAMPAIGN

Sauk Center, Mimi, Feb. 9.-The
first gun in the statewide prohibi-

ator Richard Jones of Duluth, cam
paign manager for the Minnesota Dry
Federation, in an address to more
than 500 persons at the opera house.
He outlined the work that the Dry
Federation expects to complete and
called on the people to vote the sa-
looms out of existence in order to
"save the waste and issist in winning
the war"
Senator Jones declared the brew
cry interests fixed" the Minnesota
constitution twenty years ago, pro-
viding that no amendment could be
adopted except by a majority of all
votes cast at the election.
"Under this unfair method he
said, 1--WE have never been able to
secure an amendment to our con-
stitution where organized opposition
has been encountered"
Senator Jones announced that the
dry campaign headquarters for this
section of the state would be located
at st. Cloud,
