some private interest"
 Private Development.

Private resources have ccompanied limited development. Thousands of tourists visit the canyon annually, but due to the lack of roads, trails, and side-trip destinations, the throngs have little opportunity to enjoy in full measure the marvellous grandeur of the region.
 Less than 400 of the 6OO,OO0 acres that the proposed legislation would place in the park are now in private ownership, these being held in small parcels near the rim. Obviously, the greater part of the land lies within the enormous gulf, measuring at some points twenty miles across the top. Sufficient land is to be included back of the north and south rims to make possible road development and to care for camping and hotel facili- ties.

Paris spoke his famous words, La fayette, we are here." thus proclaim ing that he and his army had arrived in France to help fight the battle of human freedom, and stay there until it was won. Would that the church, following Christ it's great leader, would go out to meet the great enemy with the same determination and self sacrifice to fight for God and human ity and keep at it until the victory was won.
 Let Sunday, December 1st be a great day at Morenci Chapel I plan to make it a patriotic thanksgiving memorial service. It will also be Rally Day in the Sunday School. The church will be decorated with flags O. the allied nations. A memor- ial scroll of the Morenci boys who made the supreme sacrifice will be unrolled. The new quartette will sing. Let the slogan be, Every body come and bring a friends" Tn the meantime let us read Isaiah the fortieth chapter and sing:
 Our God, Our help in ages past.
 Our Hope for years to come,
 Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home"

GRAND CANYON AT LAST ID BE A
 NATIONAL PARK
After Thirty-two Years Congress Is to Place Nations Wonderland For ever Under Care of United States.

The Grand Canyon of Arizona at park. For years the canyon has been quite generally regarded as park, but officially it is a section of two na- tional forests, a game refuge and na- tional monument.
 Tt has never been managed as a part of the park system, and has never been susceptible of development as usch,'' says the house public lands committee, in reporting favorably a senate bill that would dedicate $50 square miles-6OO,0O acres-in nor thern Arizona as the Grand Canyon National Park "This magnificent gorge should now take its place as link in the national park chain which already includes most of the nations wonderful and extraordinary natural features"
 First Bill in 1886
 It was thirty-two years ago last Jan- uary that the first bill to make the Grand Canyon a national park was in- troduced in the senate by eX-president Benjamin Harrison, then senator from Indiana Since then the pro- posal has been presented to congress from time to time.
 Tt appears that there never has been a valid objection advanced against it. declares Secretary Lane, in a statement favoring the project. ''Nor can such an objection be urged because the Grand Canyon belongs to the federal government and any at tempt to thwart a change in its status, which would distinctly re- dound to it's advantage, must be by

Dear People.

 Dear People.
 I greatly regret that we are not permitted to hold our regular ser vices on Sunday Nov. 24. am assured, however, that all the ser vices will begin again on Sunday, Dec. the first. This will make seven churchless Sundays. It has been a long, waiting time but I hope it will give us new sense Of the value of church privileges.
 These are days of great rejoicing that the world war has come to such victorious end. Never greater days since Christ was born at Bethlehem and the angels proclaimed good tid- ings of great joywhich should be to all the people. The triumphant ending of the war has proved that God still rules and reigns and will bring his purpose to pass; that he heard and answered the cry of his children for victory and peace, and that righteous cause cannot be defeated but will win in the end. Let us thank the Lord of Hosts in all humility for teaching this age that it is not by might or power, but by spiritual forces the great victories of the world are to be won. It is the force of right and not the right of force that counts.
 The church today is facing great task and opportunity. It has great task in helping the reconstruction of the world. It needs new power and aggressive leadership to do this. Listen to the watchwords of the great war leaders. Joffre, at Marne in the height of supremest sacrifice said: Die where you stand rather than give way to the enemy" Petain, at Verdun said to the immortals: 'They shall not pass.'' Haig, in Flanders gave the defiant orders: With your backs to the wall fight to the end" ;" and they said, 'Yes, we will" Per shing, at the tomb of Lafayette in

Moving Section Houses

The A. & N. M. R. R. this week be- gan the work of moving the section houses in the local yard from the east side of the track to the west side just south of the railroad crossing. The change is being made on account of the recent completion of the new con crete bridge across the river in Hills Addition which has increased the auto traffic along the Fraser Row. The present location of the section houses in close proximity to the railroad crossing obstructed the view at that point.

Rheumatism Arrested

If you suffer with lame muscles or stiffened joints look out for impuri- ties in the blood, because each at- tack gets more acute and stubborn.
 To arrest rheumatism you must improve your general health and purify your blood; the cod liver oil in Scott's Emulsion is Natures great bloodmaker while it also strengthens the organs to expel the impurities. Scott's is helping thous- ands who could not find other relief.

A PROCLAMATION OF
 THANKSGIVING

The President of the United States has, in accordance with the National custom, designated the twenty-eighth day of November as day of thanks giving and prayer.
 As the President has pointed out, never in this generation has the day been so really significant. This Ma tion entered upon it's great task with all the courage of a solemn purpose. None of us dared to hope for such a speedy termination of our task. In every home that has the Service Flag. whether it's star be one of blue or gold, Thanksgiving will have a meaning that it never possessed be- fore. We approach this Thanksgiving Day safe in the knowledge that the greatest gifts of God, Liberty and Justice, still prevail on earth.
 Therefore, |, Geo. w. P. Hunt, Gov ernor of the State of Arizona, do rro- claim Thursday, November twenty eighth, nineteen eighteen, Thanksei eiy- ing Day in the State of Arizona, ord ask that the day be observed as Q hcli day in accordance with our national tr9 fltlonS.
 Tn witness whereof, I have heroun+ 3 set my hand and caused the Cref | Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.

home the first glimmerings of social science are beginning to see-is precisely newly acquired vision of the art of self-goyernment. It has been unfor- tunately necessary-or perhaps fortIn- ately nece ssary-for the great democ- racies to turn their energies and re- sources and the inventive ingenuity Of
 their citizens to the organization ot armies ana indeed of entire populations to the purpose of killing enough Ger mans to remove demoeracy's exterior menace. The price we pay in human life is appallingly unfortunate. But the ne
 cessity for national organization social izes the nation capable of it: or, to put the matter more truly, if the specializing process had anticipated the war-as It had ;n Great Britain-the ability to com plete it under stress is the test of a democratic nation; and hence the test of democracy, since the socializ1nS process becomes international. Britain has stood the test, even from the old
 fashioned militarist point of view since it is apparent that no democracy can wage q sustained great war unless it is socializeI After the war she will prob ably lead all other countries in sane and scientific liberalization. The en- couraging fact is that not in spite of her liberalism, but because of it, she has met military Germany on her ground and, to use a vigorous expression, gone her one better. Britains democratized army IS better supplied and more scien- tifically organized than the despot-led forces that oppose it. Taking all factors
 into account, there is now no finer

Time to Chanee Your Diet

Time to Change Your Diet
 Marion Harris Neil, in the Peoples Home Journal
 Once again the season of the year has come when common sense and do- mestic science unite in suggesting a radical change in the diet of the Amer ican people It is best for us all if at this time of the year, we refrain from eating the heavy foods and turn to those which contain less fat. IL is
 best, too that we eat less of all kinds
 of food. We are much better off without those foods which are neees- sary when we must fortify ourselves against cold and supply energy for resisting the rigors of winter, If i'm l stead of uying to spur the tagging appetite with tonics, we heed the warn I ing and consume less food, we will be healthier and wiser
 i The liver, after winters work, needs quickening. It is best, therefore to | iuse plentifully the vegetables and fruits that will spur the sluggish organ to action. Spinach is one of the best vegetables for this purpose. It can be obtained the year round in most mar Ikets. There is no vegetable more wholesome. Celery, watercress lettuce
 and dandelion are all good for tired
 nerves and that peculiar lstlessness ] spring fever" Spinach is nine-tenths water, put up in very useful and pal
 atable form; the remaining tenth is remarkable for it's medicinal value i There is more iron in spinach than in any other sueculent vegetable It also
 contains a little hitter, which is good
 for the blood
 Rhubarb, or pie plant, as it is often called is recognized as one of the
 best spring tonics. It's cheapneas cor- ttainly brings it within reach of all It 1 is the only instance of a vegetable Ibeing used in every respect as q fruit lPuddings and pies made with the stalks
 of rhubarb are equal in juices giving purposes to any made from fruits and equal also in acidulous power Do not
 strip the stalks until the skin begins
 to get tough, unless it gets bruised.
 For children it is the best medicine that 1 can be taken; it is wholesome, cleans 1 ing and cooling to the system.
 For proteid food we must rely most fly on fish and eggs at this time when only a dimited amount of meat IS al flowed Fish is essentially a nitrogen ous food; therefore it's place on the diet is the same as meat. It is equal | to meat as a source of energy Fish,
 as a rule, contains less fat than meat. For that reason, fish is better at this season.
 Eggs are at their best now and are icheaper than at any other season. They are an easily digested source of muscle making food

WANT CANDIDATES TO ENTER

The standardization campaign commit tee has also called upon anti-amendists in all counties to see that candidates op- posed to the amendment enter the race at once. Judge Charles B. Teasley in his campaign for governor is also urg- ing his friends to favor the candidacy of men who will vote against the ratifica- tion of the amendment.
 William w Brandon is still playing the game without touching seriously upon the issue. He still contends that the governor has nothing to do with the amendment and that it should not be an issue in the gubernatoral contest. MT. Brandon was in Birmingham during the meeting of the state committee Tuesday, but there was great disappointment among his friends on the committee whd were opposed to the submission of the amendment
 T. was contended by anti-amendist ts that sufficient votes to submit the amendment direct could have been ob~ tained if Judge Brandon had put forth the proper effort. Judge Brandon did
