ALL FOR CIIRIsT-OUR PLEASURES

Christian Endeavorers have during

Our abilities, our ambitions, our
tongues, our money, our time. each Of
these has been in turn earnestly con-
sidered and discussed. This week we
take up "Our Pleasures-Our Pleasures
For Christ" Pleasure looms large 10

Anything promising pleasure is elg'r-
ly sought and eagerly indulged.

Ing. This is the essence Of pleasure.
Not good, delightful and satisfying for
lis own sake should be the Christians
attitude, but for tha souls sake seek
ye that which is good and let your
soul delight itself in fatness," would
stll be the prophets cry. "Our Pleas
ures For Christ" means only such
pleasures as Christ can warmly ap-
prove and bless; pleasure in which His
presence and cOmpanionship are fully
realized. Jesus was present at the we'd
ding feast, the dinner party, the inner
circle OF the home, the picnic breakfast
by the seaside and we are sure that
His presence brought nothing Of gloom
op depression but rather deep quiet
JOY that was soul-satsfying and life
ennobling.

Lord always before me; because lie
is at my right hand. l shall not be
moved. Therefore my hearth is glad
and my glory rejoiceth Thou Will show
me the path OF life: in Thy presence is
fllness OF Joy at Thy right hand there
are pleasures for ever more"
EndeayOrers, How much OF your time
are you giving to Christ and His work?
Il is when we are making some sacri-
flee that we are really doing something
for Christ DO we find pleasure iQ
helping others? Most certainly we do
and this is one thought which our
topic imeans to lay great stress upon.
Let us not think always about the
things which alone give MS pleasure,
but let us give much thought TO the
things which are going to help others
and make life mean more to them.
There is real pleasure in Christian
work and It is up to us TO do our
part.
We are looking forward 90 a good
winters work and we ask for the CO.
operation Of each and every member
OF our city Union. Don't forget TO re-
turn your pledge cards to our treas

The Whole People and Conservation

We suppose that there many families which do not yet understand that they have part to do in winning the war and that they will be made to perform it or submit to punishment. They do not yet realize the necessity for the activities of the national food administration but this information will be brought to them before very long.
 What restrictions have so far been laid by the food administration are small in comparison with those which will be laid The family, the individual, not yet been brought contact with the .ood administration. The individuals experience with the administration has been through licensed dealers and dealers licensed. If the individual has not been in all cases restrained neither has he been fully protected against the rapacty of the deal CT but both restraint and protection coming to him.
 In the matter of substitutes for wheat flour, the government has lately taken hand in price fixing, suppose at the suggestion of Governor Capper of Kansas. who recently pointed out to the administraa ton that profiteers taking advantage of the anguarded substitutes and fixing their prices. The government has fixed the prices at ten per cent below the price of wheat flour. Ulti matey the price of everything which has been affected by the governments regulation will be fixed to producer and consumer the profits of the middeman also being limited and regulated.
 The government will also pursue the subject of conservation of food into the family. has Already fixed the amount of flour and sugar that may be consumed by the family. In districts flour is practically unobtainable and it predicted that it will not be long until wheat flour products will be strangers to tables.
 We have yet a rather generous supply compared with that allowed the of the country but unless the national wheat crop is bigger than is expected to be, will be reduced for a time to a no-wheat flour basis.
 Arizona has never been an exporter of wheat, but considerable importer. Now we arc called upon for exports amounting to S,OOO,OOO pounds. We can easily see that there will be very little wheat flour for home consumption, but learning to get along without wheat flour
 There many families here, as all over the country who for patriotic reasons quit using wheat -four many months ago and have used none since. But there many families who have used all the wheat flour and sugar they could get and resorted 10 every device to get The closer-drawn net of the food administration will soon take all such people in for it is only by the cooperation willing or forced, of all the people that there will be enough food for ourselves and our allies
 We are in no danger of going hungry while our allies actually suffering for food We may not have all of just what would like to have but we will have plenty of what we need. We will know nothing of deprivation

Echo of the FIaqstaff Affair

Mr. McGonige. of the Northern Arizona Normal School board who was in the city Saturday. in the course of an interview regarding the review of the Bome case, said that Flagstaff was not the proper place for such rehearing to take place. Of course there will not be rehearing. In the circumstances 1t would serve purpose it would result in nothing but Q waste of time. It would not remove a state Wide impression that grave injustice has been done the foremost educator the state or suspicion that the normal school is under political control: that if occasion should arise, would witness the douiina- ton of politics in every educational institution in the state
 But we cannot avoid asking why Flagstaff would not be the proper place for rehearing if an honest review of the case intended The people of Flag staff are not only more deeply concerned in this matter than the people of any other section of the state' but they know more about it. If Dr. Blome has been at fault that fact would be better known at Flagstaff than anywhere in Arizona If there any improper, local motives for the action that taken against him that fact too would be better known at Flagstaff than anywhere else That is where Mir. McGonigle and pr. Blome both have lived for many years.
 Mir. McGonigle more than hints at the warmth of feeling at Flagstaff regarding this controversy and suppose for that reason, believes that the rehearing would take place in an atmosphere hostile to the board. We had already heard that the people of Flagstaff were highly indignant; that they felt that the action of the board was outrage
 That is the highest compliment that Mr. Nc Gongle and the other political and personal enemies of Dr. Blome could pay him. If a whole community of intelligent citizens, such the citizens of Flag staff are, rises in indignation in support Dr. Blome that alone would establish the fact that he is highly esteemed Dy those who know him best, an edu- eator and man. and that they have an abiding conviction that he has been grossly wronged and that the community educational center has been wronged.
 The admitted attitude of the people of Flag staff the best qualified judges of the facts in this controversy. is itself a judgment in review and if reverses the finding of the board.

The Shirt

With the best intentions in the world some people are making war work ridiculous. Of course they serious about it. They fully realize that the war is joke It is their very seriousness that leads them into these pitfalls Without intended affront to such persons would state fact of natural his- tory-that of all there is serious looking serious-actng and perhaps, serous-feeng, than the doEkey. And yet there is that acutely moves to ridcule.
 One must have some sense of humor in order to be fully his guard against the ridiculous, just must possess, though it should be we'll controlled. spirit of resistance in order that he may be prepared to protect himself against ag- gression.
 The sense of humor should not be allowed to become abnormal But it should be strong and at the same time kept under control It should be so strong as not become benumbed by other emotions or the presence of imposing people and events. It essential part of good imagination that is, of a we'll directed imagination Humor is the balance wheel of imagination
 Now, there are those ladies of Des Moines, Iowa, who frantically gathering from all over the country a collection of-what shall call them, shirt tails ?7-of American notabes, to be converted into aprons whose sale is expected to fill the coffers of the Red Cross. It would become fund which the irreverent without a properly restrained sense of humor would probably call 'the shirt tail fund.- That would be embarrassing to the management of the American Red Cross who might look upon such a fund with the aversion with which the noble-innded Titus, the captor of Jerusalem, regarded a certain fund sent him by his avarcious father, Vespasian.
 We presume that these Des Moines ladies are not devoid of the sense of humor, person is wholly devoid of it, but they allowed the fact and the magnitude of the war obscure it entirely and they have been led to add unntentionay what we may regard a touch of incongruous gayety to work.
 There is better way many better ways, than this to raise money for the Red Cross. That has been proved by the result of the last Red Cross drive when money given than asked for and more will be given when it is asked for. The fund may be augmented by sales of articles made by Red Cross societies, and among them aprons made of proper materials Patriotic people may roy fancy prices for such articles but if they buy aprons n part because they made Of the discarded shirts ni the great there something more than patriotism the matter with them. There is a streak of servile snobbshness
 The shirt is garment which commands respect. We hide it every occasion if the climate permits. We recall the mention of no shirt in history, one in poetry, and only in mythology he deadly shirt of Nessus which Hercules wore to his undoing.

 What this lady wants" said Mir. Rogers, though she does not know it, is that I should speculate with her money, not invest it. She scorns 6 per cent-wants 50 per cent. For my part" he continued, T shall find it very difficult to tell her where to put her $10,000 so that it will be perfectly sure to continue to return her per cent. It is always difficult to be sure that any investment at per cent IS safe''
 To get the largest degree of safety for your investment. however small 1t may be. it is wise for women to learn at the start to turn a deaf ear to the promoter. I do not know anything more interesting than yielding an ear to promoters. They are among the most heartening and alluring people hat I meet I would love to believe that all their apple orchards are going to yield what they say they will; that there is oil under all the territory they are testing and gold in all their mines; but it does not take much eX- perience to learn that, as a rule, the promoter has nothing to do at all with investment, although he has great deal to do with speculation.
 Turn from him and look over estab- lished businesses. Find out what they are doing-how long they have been doing it and what their present pros poets are. The mine may have been paying for fifty years. If you find on investigation that the probability Is that it's ore is about exhausted, it is no place for your money.

KAISER SEEKS FAVOR
 OF DUPED SUBJECTS
Gnndon AnSNerS)

During the past year the work of re- viving the declining popularity Of the kaiser among the mass of his subjects has been carried on with extraordinary energy and thoroughness by branch of the German secret service that has been established for that especial pur- pose.
 The department is under the control of Herr Ledder, a keen business man, who before the outbreak of the war was manager of the publicity depart ment of the Hamburg American Steamship company at Hamburg.
 1 knew Ledder well, and when l was in Germany some little time back he gave me some rather interesting de- tails of this work
 Recently a, siXpenny book has been published in Berlin entitled Our Kaiser in War Time" It was written apparently by a socialist member or the reichstag, Herr Goetmann, but be- yond consenting to allow the book to be attributed to him (Herr Goetmann was paid z 250 for doing so), he had nothing to do with the authorship of it.
 The book was written by a secretary in Ledders department. The idea of
 
 Herr Goetmann was simply-to insure it's popularity-a piece of trickery, the cleverness of which was greatly appre- ciated by the kaiser.
 I saw a copy of the book. It teemed with stories of the kaiser's thoughtful ness and affection for the German working people. It was related how he often, after a days work at head quarters, would devote himself to the study of problems connected with food and other matters especially affecting the working classes.
 First feed our soldiers, then ouf working people, and from what is left, however little it may be, we will be able to take what will suffice for the larder of the emperor" This was re- ported to be the emperor's exclama- tion after discussing the food problem on one occasion.

virtually meant-since the government paid his salary as fixed by federal statute. His Scotch ideas of public
 ervice would not allow him to touch this money
 It was this same spirit of public service which made him fight a friend and fellow party appointee in order that the people might have the benefit of the enormous fees which had been going into the pocket of the secretary of state.
 These fees amounted to about $40,000 a year at that time, and through his efforts they were diverted to the territorial treasury He was compelled to battle with men high in political life in order to win this fight for the people.
 The funding of the notorious Pima county narrow gauge bonds came dur ing his term of office, and he was able to save Pima county upwards of $100.- 900 and reduced the high rate of in- terest then prevailing to three per cent. It was a hot July day, I recall when, as secretary of the territorial loan commission. I burned the bundle of bonds which tuned to ashes the last trace of an iniquitous plan to saddle an added debt upon the taxpayers of Pima county and enrich q lot of New York bondholders. Colonel Brode ana Judge Frank Nichols witnessed the burning of the bonds which took place in the furnace in the basement of the capitol.
 The first executive recommendation to tax the mines of the state came from him, and was followed success fully by Governor Joseph H. Kibbey, who found a way through the board of equalization.
 I could tell many things this coura- geous patriot did for the people of this state. but a private secretary's duty to his chief requires that many things must be forgotten and never repeated. All who knew Colonel Brodie vii, remember his big -heartedness, his uni form courtesy and gallantry. and his courage to do right at all times re-
 gardlesS of who it hit. The governor in those days received a small salary, and 1 remember how we used to send
