 AMONG 'EM OVER THERE

Thaysen Schwalbe, a we'll known Flagstaff boy, now corporal and on duty in France, writes his old friend l. M. Jackson, the cattleman, and wants to know things about his old home. He writes:
 Somewhere in France,
 Oct. 23, 1918. Dear Friends: .....
 Arrived in France some time ago and have often wondered how every thing was in Flagstaff. This is sure some wonderful country from what have seen of it, but sure long for the mountains and don't believe it will be long until I can return. How's chances for a job and some real good "eats"? Ha! ha!
 We'll, where is Hazel Hopkins now |? If you write to him give him fny ad- dress and if he is on this side, tel him to watch for me, as my eyes are open all the time. Too bad he had to come in the service. I sure wish he was in this outfit. He sure could make good. How is his little wife Laura? Hope she is we'll and hope all of you the same. guess Shook ums is big boy by now, isn't he? Would like to see all of you and tell you all about the trip. It was sure one that I will never forget. Never got seasick at all, although many others did.
 Well, as time is short I must close. Will write again some day. I am feeling the best and enjoying myself immensely. Goodbye.
 Your brothers old side kicker.

A SOLDIERS PRAYER.
By Daniel E. DOran.

Ky Daniel E.. DOran. If l must die away from those who
 love me, Some place, on some far field, on
 some far day; 1 know whose form it is shall bend
 above me l know whose prayer shall speed me
 on my way. ...... ..... l know whose form it is, for I have
 seen her A thousand times, thousand cots be-
 side, q pray good angels from all harm
 may screen her) Where broken men have smiled on her
 and died. If must die, l know she shall stand
 near me, And whisper me sweet words of faith
 and hope, I know the courage in her eyes shall cheer me As feebly toward that dim, dim path
 I grope. --.- L'EnvOi. o lady of the Crimson Cross, be my me, And help me keep my faith and cour- age high When pain encompasses and tortures try me, For then I shal not fear, not fear to die.

Corporal Chas. Priest Home.

Corporal Charles Priest it at home from Camp Cody, N. M., where he was recently discharged from the in fantry. Charley had some hard luck and failed to get across to France with his brother Edward, though both entered the service at the same time. The doctors concluded that they would have to cut him up some to make him into perfect soldier and before he recovered from the op- eration, his division moved out and sailed for the scene of the trou1e. He has been serving in the military police corps and was discharged as a corporal. "If couldn't get to go to France 1 wanted to come home and am mighty glad to see old Flag again." he declared.

Dan Francis, son of MT. and Mrs. Joe Francis, is back home again, hav- ing arrived with Sgt. Ray Ramsey from Florida, where he was in the officers training camp. Dan was close up to a commission but felt that Arizona was good enough for him and came home when the coming was good. He did not get a chance to go over into "No Mans Land," and like most of the Arizona boys. felt that since the kaiser had been chased over into Holland, there would be little fun going to Berlin.

An Administration Monarch.

King Cotton came into his own this year in the Artesian district.
 Tie acreage planted this year was more than double that of last year, when 62 bales were secured, bringing a return of $11,000 to the cotton raisers.
 This year the land planted yielded 220 bales, of which 72 bales were shipped Tuesday to Galveston, Texas. The price that the cotton raisers will receive will be more than 30 cents a pound.-Safford Guardian.

An Infrequent Smoker.

Several ladies sat in the clubroom discussing the virtues of their hus- bands over their knitting.
 "Mr. Jones'" said one of them, re- ferring to her life partner, "never drinks and never swears; indeed he has no bad habits"
 Docs he never smoke" someone asked.
 "Yes, he likes a good cigar just af- ter he has eaten a good meal. But on an average he doesn't smoke more than once month."
 Some of club mates smiled but she didn't seem to understand the reason.

DENVER MINING MAN LEAVES.

MT. Mccullough of Denver has been in Flagstaff several days on business connected with the installment of a big teaching plant for the Navajo Copper Company on their mining grounds on the Indian reservation. He left Monday evening for Williams and from there expects to go to Phoenix before returning to Denver. It is so late in the year that it is hardly ex- pected that there will be any general activity at the mines before spring.

Heroism Displayed While Plants

Amid Bursting Bombs.

London.-Heroism in civil life has
come to be almost commonplace in an
empire torn by the bitter world strug-
gle, but shining instances are noted
by the government and reward given.
Nearly 400 medals for self-sacrifice in
time of danger have just been dis
tributed in England. AS many wom-
en- as men appear on the lists. Many
of them are telephone girls, who have
earned the admiration of all London
by their fearlessness in sticking to
their posts in the face of imminent
danger from exploding bombs hurled
from German Zeppelins and airplanes.
Some of those who are now wearing
medals are Lillian Ada Bostock, Flor
ence Steggel, Mabel Eleanor Clarke,
Florence Marie Cass, Ethel E. Hickey
and Bertha Florence Ester. These girls
have been pictured in the illustrated
papers of London and have received
gifts from citizens. They are of the
same type as the New York telephone
girls. They are ready to do their

ence and were the only people who
took the food chemist into council.
The truth is that the British have as
much science but a good deal more hui
maneness, and part of the humaneness
is to keep the scientific calculations
in the background.
In regard to cooking, the Royal Army
Medical Corps confess to an inferior1ty
in British skill. AS compared with
the French, we are a nation of BAD
cooks. The most strenuous efforts are
being made, and have been made Tor
long time, to raise the standard or
army cooking. 1t is very much better
now than at the start of the war, put
it still will not stand we'll in comparl-
son with the general French skill IN

INCREASE IN WESTERN
CANADA ACREAGE
Will Prove a Big Factor in Win
ming the War.

Reports to hand indicate that West.
ern Canada has a vastly increased
acreage ready for crop this year over
last year. The splendid opel fall Of
1917, gave better opportunity for fall
blowing than for some years. Work
in the fields was almost continuous
until the end Of November. In fact, in
the neighborhood of Pincher Creek,
Alberta, there was sufficient mild
weather In January of this year to
permit farmers to pillow, and many
took advantage Of 1t. A great many
Americans owning land In Canada
moved up last year, and this has also
helped to increase the acreage. They
came into possession of the land at
prices varying from $500 to $4,000
an acre, and with the proven yields
Of wheat running from twenty and as
high as fifty bushels per acre, with a
set price of 1921 bushel, they could
join production and patriotism to-
gether with a big margin of profit.
The Post-Intelligencer Of Seattle,
Wash, gives very conservative state
ment Of the agricultural development
and opportunities In Western Canada.
In It's issue of December II, 1917, IL
says
"Since the beginning Of the year
American emigration into Canada has
been greatly stimulated according to
the reports of the Dominion authori-
ties, and has been almost entirely made
up of farmers attracted by the fertile
and comparatively cheap wheat lands.
whatever may be said Of wheat
culture as a profitable avocation in
ordinary years, since the beginning of
the war it has offered advantages
quite beyond the usual opportunities.
War has doomed the price of wheat
until the farmer now receives around
50 for his product at his granary.
Average crops, according to the adap-
tation Of soil and climate are from
IL to Is bushels to the acre. Even
the minimum crop, at 50 per bushel
brings in these war times a reasonable
profit. Before the war wheat culture
was fast being abandoned by farmers

been the popular crop for new coun-
tries, but when the pioneers settled
down to business 1T was generally
corn, hogs, cattle and diversified farm
ing that brought the profits. Iowa and
the Dakotas in turn, as their pcairies
became settled, mortgaged the land on
wheat culture and afterwards paid Off
the mortgages with corn and hogs.
"War is thus bringing a temporary
encouT cement to wheat farming.
Many of the ranchers of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta laid away
$4,000 to $4,000 in the banks last fall.

the growing Of wheat is not the only
inducement which Is leading settle.

favorable agricultural climate, and
