SANTA FEE ESTABLISHES
 CAMPING-OUT BUREAU

There are some far west trips, such as the Rainbow Natural Bridge, more than 200 miles from the railroad, that have been taken by less than a hun dred white people. Theodore Roose- welt made the Bridge trip in 1913, and Zane Grey went later, to get material for one of his most popular novels, "The Rainbow Trail"
 Every year a greater number of busy business men, as well as those who love the out-of-doors, are making trips in the southwest off the beaten path. They climb mountain peaks. They descend canyon trails. They cross painted deserts, visit prehistoric cliff ruins and see Indian pueblos. They really rough it or camp-out de luxe.
 The great difficulty has been to get first-hand and reliable information as to trips, time consumed, distances and cost, and to get in touch with depend able outfitters and guides.
 The Santa Fe has established, in its advertising department, Chicago, 8 Camping-Out Bureau to help the ten derfoot in arranging trips by pack and saddle animal, team or auto, away from the railroad. c. J. Birchfield manager of the bureau, has covered New Mexico, Arizona and California most thoroughly. He not only knows the country, but knows personally most all the men who will outfit anc guide parties.

CATTLE REGION BULLETIN.

Heavy rainfall occurred in the cen tral mountain region of Arizona in the early part of the week, diminishing to- ward the east. No rain reported in southern Arizona or western New Mexico. Night temperatures in the south were lower than those of last week while warmer weather prevailed in the north portion. Except on the highest elevations the ground is free from snow in all portions of the range. The soil in all sections is well saturated with moisture, giving prom ise of an abundant supply of forage, while tanks and reservoirs contain a greater quantity of water.
 The range has begun to improve in nearly all parts of the state and feed ing to a great extent has been dis continued. Hay is being fed in parts of Cochise, Maricopa and Coconino counties and sotoli and other cactus in the neighborhood of Roosevelt

New Faces at Red Cross Meetings.

New Faces at Red Cross Meetings.
 Perhaps due to the splendid talk by Dr. Perry on last Sunday night, a great number of new faces were in evidence at the Red Cross this week. Such a wonderful amount of work as is being turned out! On Thursday alone three big boxes of gauge were shipped, while the box of patients clothing was also sent out on that day. The Tuba City auxiliary sent in it's work so beautifully done as to deserve comment. The knitted goods have about all been returned and it might be interesting to note that the value of the returned articles, simply from the manufactured viewpoint, is double the expense of the yarn. Per haps figures are better: $100 worth of yarn used by this chapter makes a return of articles valued at $500. This is not even fair estimate, for all know the hand made article is far superior to the machined one.
 Tuba City promises Red Cross benefit in May and thinks it worth our while to watch for the attractive posters they expect to put out.
 The checker boards, of which we spoke week or so ago, are for the thirty-two army contonments. It is interesting to note there are 500 Y. M. c. A. huts with 5000 tables and each table will have two checker boards. The Normal school boys will furnish boards for ten tables and will make them outside of school hours un- der the direction of Prof. Rosenberry. The lumber for these will be furnish ed by the A. L. & T. and the hardware by Babbitt Bros. When finished they will be crated and delivered to carrier ready for shipment. The many ship ping boxes used at the local Red Cross have all been made and donated free of charge by the A. l.. X T.
 In ordering the last supply of some twenty boxes, the chairman asked that the bill be sent to her and on receipt she found written across the face of the bill, "No Charge" This, too, so shortly after the lovely new sign had been placed.
 The following letter tells partly of some of the appreciation expressed for Red Cross work, by the boys of Company I:

The final accounting for the won derful picture exhibit at Emerson school last week resulted in the pur- chase of three lovely pictures for the assembly room of the school. That this is due to the support given the exhibit by the parents, speaks well for their interest. Almost 300 tickets were sold by the children and how glad they are that these three pie tures-all their favorites-will be hung. The sixth grade sold the most tickets and to them the choice fell of selecting print for their own room. Mrs. Kennedy's room was second and will also receive a fine picture. All who attended the exhibition agree it should come again, for the education al value cannot be estimated.

GENEROUS MERCHANTS WILL
 GIVE LIBRARY DAY" NEXT TUESDAY

The good people of Flagstaff bid fair to make the 26th of March a memorable one in it's history.
 Next Tuesday is Library Day--all will recall the event of last year, for then it was first inaugurated and both the merchants who so kindly volun- teered their assistance and the towns people who so generously bought, voiced their willingness to make it a yearly event Now that time has ar rived. The members of the board found the merchants ready and eager for another day to help the library. Every merchant promises a special on sale for the day, or at least special attention paid to both costumer and orders. It is Red Cross day, so of course, all the ladies will be out to personally attend to their shopping. One good point the ladies tried to follow last year, was going carefully over the list of specials and finding at each store some one thing they could buy. From this careful plan ming came the expression of, good will from the merchants who felt they had

 The comfort bags that you sent us for Company l, were distributed around Christmas and later on, as we could locate the men readily and they have been appreciated by the men. They all join in thanking you in your efforts for us. They really appreciate your thoughtfulness more than they could ever appreciate material things. We know that it requires great deal of effort and sacrifice on the part of the kind ladies who have furnished all these things for our boys and some times we almost think that the ladies are doing too much, for we know that the folks at home are facing sacrifices and hardships incident to war condi- tions right now.
