Arizona cattlemen have re-
ceived an offer Of free range for
their stock in Michigan, accord
ing to word brought back last
week from Tucson by Attorney
S. w. White. While at Tucson
Mr.. White met Charles R.
Hutcheson of Denver and was
urged to notify sheep and cattle
men of this section Of the offer.
According to the plan, large
lumber companies of northern
Michigan have offered free
range for three years without
any stipulation. The offer was
said to have been made for the
purpose of aiding cattlemen of
the southwest on account of the
drouth and as q war measure TO
increase the supply of beef and
mutton. The range land lies in
the fifteen northern counties of
Michigan. It is what is known
as "cut-over" land, the timber
having been cut off and the land
allowed to grow up in clover and
bluegrass. The entire country is
called "Cloverland."

French citizens from the invad-
ed country Of this grand nation
of France. Seven thousand
more are expected.
Believe me truly, of all the
horrors and the atrocities caus-
ed by this war, the return Of
these unfortunate men, women
and children is not the least.
Destitute living skeletons they
are, without a home, Without tt G
necessaries for a days subsist-
ence, without friends except
charitable strangers and a con-
science bound government, who
provide what keeps body and
soul together; victims Of the
war, broken both in health and
in spirit, their tvl-eF :
their faith in America keeping
them alive. Old men and women
and little children cannot be
found among them; they did not
have the power of resistance to
keep alive under the boches'
yoke and oppression. The sight
of them would break a heart of
granite.
But, in spite of this terrible
spectacle, Lourdes for me had a
real, genuine silver lining. This
morning at z o'clock I went to
celebrate H. mass at the Basilica
of o. L. of hourdes above the
Grotto of her apparition, which
will be so years ago on the 18th
instant. While I could not de-
tect one single civilian person
within the body Of the church,
was delighted to see about l5O
Belgian officers and soldiers at
tending H. mass, and greater
still was my pleasure to see sc
per cent of them receive H. Com
.munion.
You may judge of my ever
increasing surprise when after
mass I met them in the Court
of the Shrine, and learned that
the Belgians, having no home tC
20 to when they get their occa-
sional holidays, in large mum
bers flock to Lourdes and make
their home at the home of theil
Heavenly Mother.
A Hut has been established
there for them, a beautiful anC

Christmas wishes, which ] ap-

mention of a Xmas fruit cake

Nogales, and l fervently hope
and pray that no submarine got
it, because this day is already
the beginning of February, and
it should be on hand by this

4 REFRIGERATOR is one of the
~ most important purchases you
4 \ will ever have to make for
your household.
Many women make the mistake
of buying cheap refrigerator or a
small one. Let your first refrigera-
tor be one of permanent value to
you. A careful study of the follow
ing points will help you purchase
one that will be satisfactory for the
rest of your life.
Four important points to watch
1. The refrigerator should be
damned so the air circulates freely
into every part of the food chamber.
2. The lining should be sanitary,
easily cleanable.
3. The insulation of the walls
should be as perfect as possible.
