F. s. Rochester. editor of the "Of- ficial Bulletin has written the Yava- pai County Chamber of Commerce. requesting that organization to place before the public the necessity and value of every American reading the official bulletin. He states that everything possible must be done at this time to relieve the governmental departments at Washington of the enormous amount of work imposed upon them since the entry of this na- ton into the world war.
 Owing to the enormous increase of government war work. the govern mental departments at Washington are being flooded with letters of in quiry on every conceivable subject concerning the war, and it has been found a physical inpossibility for the clerks, though they number an army in themselves now, to give nrany of those letters proper attention and reply

 A NURSE? READ THIS
(F1om Thmrsdav's Dailv.O

Any young woman desiring to take up training as nurse will be given golden opportunity to equip herself with the necessary education and cx perience by the hospital department of the Consolidated Arizona Smelt- ing Company. at Humboldt.
 Doctor Vivian. chief surgeon. has written to Secretary Grace Sparkcs outlining the entire plan. The Hum boldt officials have found it very diff ficult to secure the services of grad uate nurses owing to the fact that large number are employed in war work and the company also feels that it would not he right to offer any inducement sufficient to outweigh the patriotic impulse of some of the candidates.
 The Consolidated Company will pay first year student nurses $20 month: second year nurses S30 and third year nurses $50 month, as 2 beginning for the training school which is now being formed. The usual rules governing other training schools are operative Board, room and laundry are included in addition to the salary above mentioned. Dr Vivian states that the need for nur- scs at Humboldt is an acute one and that he will appreciate the efforts or the Chamber Of Commerce in sccur- ing applicants It is not the purpose of the Consolidated to divert young women from entering the service of the United States government train ing schools for nurses, and for this reason. they will accept standard ot education below that required by the government But in view of the fact that there arc many young women anxious to equip themselves with the necessary training and education in order that they may become graduate nurses and later take up war work, this offer is an unusually attractive one. Those interested in the course of study and outline of work can per use the same by calling at the office of the Chamber of Commerce. a dia- gram giving complete information having been sent to that office

D. C. MacIver. the Prescott magi- clan who is now in France aiding in entertaining the doughboys, as a member of the America's Over-There Theatre League, writes to a local friend that after some three weeks en route. he has reached Paris in safety. making stops at Liverpool and Lon don, iii both of which places invalid ed soldiers and hospital patients were rcgaled with entertainment furnished bv the unit to which he IS attached.
 Speaking of the morale of the French and the American soldiers, MacIver writes:
 Although they have been hard hit in the past, the spirit of the French is simply wonderful One hears nothing except talk of victory that is certain to come and of the great enthusiasm created by the arrival of the American troops in quantity.
 We visited several of the Ameri- car hospitals and everywhere our soldiers were grumbling-but not about the war. Oh, no. They were kicking because the doctors would not let them leave their sick beds to return to the front at once.
 "As the French put it: They damn the Germans: they damn the war; they damn the weather, but damn, how they do fight!"
 Preparations were being made at the time the letter was written, Mac Iver stated, to send a portion of the entertainment unit to the front lines for the purpose of cheering up the fighters in their leisure moments.

While military life is proving a novelty to Private Andrew Carroll, with Go. F., l35th Infantry at Camp Dix, N J., this popularly known Prescott youth is enraptured over scenes of historical interest in the east, as the tone of a letter written to his cousin. Miss May Carroll. of this city, will show. He says:
 Dear May: Took a trip to Phiia- delphia last Sunday, and 1t is sure some city for an Arizonan to get into who had been for so long out there. There gre some huge buildings in that town and here is part of my itinerary: First went to Ben Frank lin's grave and read the inscription on the monument, showing that he pass cd away in l790 at S4 years Of age. Then to the old Quaker church, call ed the Friends Meeting House. founded in lS0+ From there went to the birthplace of Old Glory, the Betsy Ross place, where the first American flag was made. There

 Independence Hall was the next place visited. where I was dazed at the numerous collections of colonial relics still preserved. It is intensely interesting and instructive to see so many wonderful things. The Lib erty Bell. a replica of the Washing ion monument, the Berry monument, and so many other articles which in this day to see will thrill any one. The last place went to was Carpen- ter Hail, or what is better known as Congress Hall, where a wonderful collection of old coins, and other articles used by our forefathers re- main to this day in the same state as in the long ago. Saw the last letter which General Washington wrote be- fore he died. When one sees SO much of the days gone by when we were fighting for Liberty, and again we are in the same cadence as those in the patriotic past, let one take a glimpse into the days gone and he will appreciate they were fighting for just what we are today enjoying.
 This is a very pretty country and wish you could see it. Camp Dix is a fine place, no dust or wind
