We'll l pulled thru two and half months of fighting and am now on my way to Berlin. My first division was relieved from the front after we were all shot up, and 1 was transferred to the 32nd Division. I was glad of it because 1 am now in the advance troops of the Army of Occupation and always wanted to be on of the first into Germany. We are now on the, German border in LuXem- burg. We marched across Luxen1- burg in days so you may know we make some hikes. We are to be on the banks of the Rhine some place by December 9th, so we will have to do some more tall marching. When we come into a town the Boche are just leaving.

TO THE MEMORY OF
 JAMES P. DICKSON

In the passing of "Jimmy" Dick son at Chloride on Dec. 18th, 1918, our community, and the state of Arizona lost valuable citizen, and also one of Natures Noblemen.
 Born in New York, November 1889, he came into Arizona in the early part of 1854 when less than 16 years of age, while still in his teens he made three trips through Old Mexico buying up bands of mules, which himself and buckaros whom he had employed, drove across into the southern states where he disposed of them chiefly in New Orleans and from which he real ized quite fortune. When he return ed with the proceeds of the third sale, he got "the call for gold" which lured him to the placers of California. Af- ter short stay in the land of gold he returned to Arizona where, in the lat CT years he explored the desert hills and mountain ranges of the entire ter ritory in the olden days, when all the different tribes of Indians were hostile and on the war-path, and when the Government Posts were the only hav- ems of refuge.
 He was among the first to locate and work the Rich Hill placers in the Antelope Peak district in which he was very successful, making as high as twelve hundred dollars day to the man in those diggings. He was a man who seldom suoke of his past, but if one could have his career laidout it would be interesting reading. He was one of those path finders of the early days who did a great part in making our now great state inhabita- ble for the White Man.
 Jimmy" was real Diamond in the Rough" of a kindly disposition and whom every body loved and re- spected, and the legion of friends he left will hope his last sleep may be one of peace" ."--,.

USED DOLLAR BILL AS HAND.
KERCHIEF; JAILED.

Using a 81 bill as a handkerchief
was Karl c. Johansson's idea of be-
ing numerous and he is now in pris-
on on the charge of being a dan
gerous and suspicious character, to-
gether with William Michel. Both
men are sailors on a steamship in
the New Orleans dry dock.
The two men had entered the yard
of the johnson Iron Works, in AL
giers, which is fenced off, and were
commanded to come out by George
Sparlin, one of the United States
guards. The men advanced in an
ugly mood, Johansson and Michel
using vulgar language towards the
guard. Johansson drew a 81 bill
from his pocket as he approached
the guard, put it to his nose and
blew into it, saying 1t would make
a good handkerchief. Sparlin lev
eled his rifle at the sailors and held
them until the arrival of Corporal
Clement Purnell, of the United
States guard. They were turned
over to the police.

APPEAL TO PUBLIC
TO CUT PHONE CALLS

An appeal to the public by the
mayor, health officials, camps ana
hospitals to use telephones only for
urgent business was issued Tuesday.
1t said
The telephone service hard-worked
for a year or more by business incl
dent to the war, is now seriously
hampered by a shortage of operators
due to the influenza. War business
and communications concerning the
many sick persons are now the only
vitality necessary demands for tele-
phone service.
Therefore, we, the undersigned
persons Immediately connected with
the business of waging war and with
the service of the sick, ask that all
patrons of the telephone company
refrain from using their telephones
for any but the most vitality neces-
sary calls.
You are asked, in behalf of the
nation as citizens and in behalf OF
the sick as reasonable human be
ings, 70 desist from using your tele
phone for any but vitality necessary
calls.

Donogh No. 4 School
Miss Kelly stated that she highly
appreciated the sentiments that have
been expressed by her pupils through

ment that she requires for her years
of services was the continuous good
will and success of her pupils in
whose training she had an important
part to play.
Miss Kelly stated that in asking
the Herald to discontinue the sub
scription and also in asking the other
boys who have gotten up a list for
her that she did not want them to
feel that she did not appreciate their
efforts in her behalf; but, she says
that she was willing to live in con-
tent that she had done her full duty
that this fact was appreciated by
the boys and Il was their fond mem
DRY that she desired TO hold as q
jewel as the token of their apprecia
ton.
Miss Kelly has been a teacher o
the Public Schools for forty-On'
years, having taught in Algiers 70
twenty-eight years; and thirteel
