RAY IS PLEDGED
TO GO OVER TOP
FOR RED CROSS

| Phoenix, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Charles F.
Ainsworth, chairman for the Christ
mas Roll Call of Central Arizona
chapter of the American Red Cross,
| has received from L. S. Gates, Christ
mas Roll Call chairman for the Ray
| branch chapter, the promise that Ray
chapter will have at least 1000 men,
bers enrolled during next week and
that each of the thousand will also
| be a Red Cross National Magazine
| subscriber.
Chairman Gates, in part, wrote Mrs
Ainsworth
81 beg to advise you, we had a meet
| ing of our Chapter of the Red Cross
last night and it was decided to take
| out 1000 memberships at 81 each
and as soon as the Roll Call starts,
we will send you list of the 1000
names for the magazine and $4,000
cash.
1--WE also hope to better these fig
ures before the campaign is over"
The Phoenix district for the Cen
i trail Arizona chapter had in 1918 a
total of about $500 members so that
| the accomplishment of Ray can we'll
be appreciated by comparison. Ray
| 1as 1000 volunteers in advance ~
the Christmas Roll Call which is the
equivalent of more than a fourth of
| the total enrolment in the Phoenix
district, which has many times the
Ray population. In fact, the Ray
advance volunteer enrolment is ac-
tually larger than the Phoenix ad-
vance volunteer enrolment for the
1919 membership list
/ The formal start of the Christmas
Roll Call for the Red Cross member
ship for the New Year starts on Mon
! days, December 10Th. The Roll Call
j lasts until December 23rd and the
motto of the call is 81 summon you
| to comradeship," the slogan given the
Red Cross by President Wilson. The
object is to enroll every adult person
in the United States in membership
for the year to come.
Out of the membership fee one-halt
i goes to the local chapter and forms
the fund with which the chapter work
is done for the year. To each member
Il goes package Of Christmas Red
i Cross seals. These are the seals
usually sold independently at Christ
mas time to raise a fund with which
to combat tuberculosis. This time
the money usually secured through
the sale of the seals will be secured
from the membership fee itself = Il
is hoped that over two million dollars
will thus be made available to finance
the constant battle against the white
plague in 1919.
i In each household it is hoped that
at least one member will also sub
scribe for the National Red Gross
Magazine so that the home people
may be kept informed as to the work
and needs of the Red Cross. With
1000 copies of this magazine going
to Ray the people of that enterpris-
i ing community will be kept well in
/ formed as to the work in which they
have always taken such live inter
est.

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields the poppies grow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved; and now we
lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe!
To you, from falling hands, we throw
The torch. Be yours to lift it high!
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, tho poppies blow
In Flanders Fields.
An answer to Lieut.. Col. John Nc

In Flanders Fields where heroes
fought
From dying hands the torch was
caught,
The flaming torch of Liberty.
They died to make the whole world
free,
We carry on their work and thought.
Sleep on, o dead! In days to come
Echoes of our victorious drum
Shall be your glorious requiem
In Flanders Fields.
Nor doubt your quest is bravely
sought;
Nor fear your sacrifice for naught;
The torch uplifted ever CLEANS,
Fen in your sleep you'll sense it's
beams
Where poppies blow your rest you've

Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders dead,
The fight that we so bravely led
We've taken up, and we will keep

With each a cross to mark his bed

So let your rest be sweet and deep

On the Fighting Fronts.-As a re-
suit Of the action Of the American and
British governments in requisitioning
Dutch shipping in their waters, Ger
many may now be expected to begin a
heightened campaign Of frightfulness
with her U-boats. which doubtless Will
be met by a more intensive program
of defense against snkings on the
part of the Allies.
All along the western front the
activity of the fighting FORCES sun
has been held down to small infantry
attacks and and artillery duels which
on some sectors have been quite Eio-
lent. To the French again has fallen
the task of facing the tiercest ln1antry
fighting. In Lorraine the Germans
delivered numerous strong attacks pu'
all of them were put down with san
culinary losses to the attackers. At sew
eral other points the Germans also
have endeavored to penetrate French
positions, but everywhere have been
beaten off, leaving behind the men
killed or wounded.
The American troops on the Toul
sector recently have been giving the
Germans, and effectively. a dose OF
their own favorite weapon-asphyx-
iating gas. Four different sectors OF
the Germans were gas-shelled, ana
the quiescent attitude OF the enemy
upon all Of them afterward indicatea
that the gases had the desired ef-
feet.
on their part, the Germans have
adopted another new plan Of warfare
which the American troops on the sec
tor attacked described as dirty
work" This was the dropping from
an airplane OF large rubber balls filled
with mustard gas. None Of the Ameri-
can troops was injured in the attack.

PRICE OF PIGS.

II has been Il good many years since
pigs were scarcer than they were last
spring and the situation had not ma
terially improved in the fall. There
were more pigs. but prices were
higher. Now the scarcity Is being re-
lieved somewhat. The transportation
of sows by the bankers promises to
help; but people generally have also
been buying on their own account AS
vet there is no serious threat of over
production, and II anybody thinks
that the people Te not up on the
matter Of price. they have another
guess coming. Mr.. J. G. Wallace, the
well known lightning rod man, tells a
story in this connection.
Driving along with my son over In
q dark section Of the western side OF
the county," he said. Il saw six fine
looking pigs following n SOW in a pas
ture by the roadside. and remember
ing that a friend down in Yorkville
had asked me to pick up something
like that IL l should run across il, i
decided to make some Inquiries.
There was little hut Of house
nearby and cautioning my son. Edison.
to let me do the talking and not to
say anything. drove up to the door.
There were several children playing
about the place. and l asked them
about their father.
He's oil at work somewheres, SAID
one of the boys.
Nobody eHe here%
".Maw's In the house., replied the
boy, and about that time a woman
came to the door.
":I want to make some inquiry
about those pigs out there, | said
they look like real nice ones.
"'Yes. they are right nice. was the
reply.
They are yours, are they?
.'Yes. sir: they're ourn"
well, what are they worth-what
will you give a pair OF them for?

you pay for EN-"
why, do not know what they
are worth and / don't want to put a

".Mr.. Hardin over here has been
selling some pigs only six weeks old
at $1.5O piece, anu tneSe piss wei Z
two months old yesterday. They ought
to be worth a little more than that

"That stumped me-" said Mr. Wal
lace, land I thought to change the
subject away from buying pigs: but
seeing a large SOW walking about the
ward, I made a remark about 1t. The
woman said:
ayes, she oughter been drapin-
some pigs last Saturday. but she's
gone over her time.
Then the woman pointed OUT TWO

American Liberty At Stake.

There is no other one thing more
inunr,ont TO the American people al
this time than that they should rea-
lize their peril. which is the shadow
Of German dominion. including the
entire cost of the war.
America is potentially the greatest
nation on earth There is no possible
doubt of that. We have the resources
". know how to use them and we are
accustomed To do big things in big
way. Given that we understand what
is expected of us, and there Is no
other nation on earth that can equal
us in any line Of endeavor.
IN military matters we are iar pe-
hind, especially in training and ex-
periencc: but not in potential cipacity
That is, given an even start AT arnihs
and preparing. We would outstrip inc
whole world in the wind-up. And no
matter how much start the balance oi
the world may have had. with Il rca-
su,pblc chance ut preparation, we
would soon be III the lead.
That is, provided, OF course. we are
aroused To the Importance OF the
task. the danger with which we are
confronted, and the disaster we must
suffer IL We lose.
Strychninc is u most deadly poison.
if administered i'm sufficient doses
hut i'm doses smaller than sufficient td
produce death. il is in many cases II
beneficial stilnulent
AS powerful as is the mighty Ger
man cmpire, il is no match for Amcrl-
ra. provided America puts forth her
full strength as the German empire
is uutting forth its full strength: but
unless America puts forth her l'ili
strength, the German empire ma!
easily prove too much for her.
Germany started this war to con-
o1cr the world. and she had In mind
the conquest of America rs u part OF
her programme. except she was no.
calculating on tuckling America uhtii
she had finished with the others.
We are in il in spite Of ourselves
We did not want to go III IL. TIER
many did not want us in 1t yet She
forced us in il. not because she want
,d ,u but because she had to. Except
for her resort to the submarine, Ger
many would have been defeated long
nro. For America to have submitted
to Gcrmany'S submarine campaign
would have been to surrender Ameri-
can manhood. That was but one re-
suit.
Now Americans very existence as Il
proud and independent sovereign ma
ton is ut stake. We must maintain
our rights OF lose everything we have
that is worth having.
And just as Americas all is at STAKE
all that America has must be thrown
into the balance, not in long drawn
out, half-hearted way: but at the
earliest possible moment.
None who hold back are lit To De
other than slaves, and mono who are
worthy of being Americans will hold
back.

The Time Saving law.-At n. m
Easter morning. March 81. all govern
ment clocks will be advanced to a
IN.
The clocks will remain at this ad-
vanced hour until Il. m, Sunday, DC.
tober %, When they will be set back
one hour.
The government clocks include the
naval observatory instruments, and all
clocks I'm departments. railroad sta
tions, etc. 1t Is calculated that J.
698,S18 railroad clocks must be chang.
ed to the new time.
The law does not make 1t manda-
tory upon business to alter Its clocks
but as all legal and governmental ac-
tivities will be conducted upon the
new time scale, II Is expected the
change will be universal.
Under the plan, there will be an
hour more available for work each
day and an hour more for recreation
The man who goes to work at
a. m., this week, will go to work al
the same clock hour after March 81,
but the sun time will actually be
a. m. When he leaves his office al
5 by the new scale II will really be
o'clock by the sun.
Some of the benefits will be:
Saving of l,OO0.0 900 to 100000 tons
Of coal annually.
Increased food production.
Fewer traffic accidents.
Improvement in health due TO fresh
air and time for exercise.
Speeding freight transportation.

THE SPRING HATS.

Wednesday and yesterday were the
days for the annual display of spring
STYLES in millinery at the store of the
Kirkpatrick Belk company, and as
usual. large numbers of ladies. along
with few men. were out 10 see what
they were to he offered.
Always in most excellent shape. as
well appointed stores go, some extra
touches had been put on for the &C.
casion. and new goods Of every des-
cription were artistically arranged In
neat and attractive display.
In the millinery department, pre-
sided over by Misses Maude Miller
and Kate cody, there was an exhi-
bition OF numerous pretty pattern hats
and Il most varied and attractive as
surtmcnt of trimmings, well calculat-
cd to please and interest the numer-
Gus appreci;Itive visitors as Il whole.
and appeal to the particular taste OF
each individual.
Because of the unfavorable weather
the attendance was not quite up to the
highest records of past seasons: but
still the number OF visitors WAS large
enough to justify the management in
all the extra expense involved i'll such
creditable efforts ut showing the ladies'
all the pretty things from which they
have to choose.
In keeping with these serious and
sombre times of thrift and economy.
there Is very little of the elaborate
about the new spring hats. Everything
Is unusually plain. There is almost
no trimming-seldom more than "a
velvet band, bow OF ribbon, or small
ornament, and sometimes nothing.
And prices. well. compared with form
er years. they would seem high. But
compared WITH everything esse, de-
clares Miss Miller. they are low
very low"
One OF the prettiest hats on display
was Il leghorn poke bonnet. The
crown was draped in turquoise blue
Georgette. IA French rose and blue vel
vet streamers, were the only trimming.
\ hat OH display i'm the window was
considered by many ladies to be the
prettiest at the opening. II was on
the sailor style, made OF shell pink
Georgcttc, around the brim was a
narrow binding of Pekin blue satin.
The whole hat was hand embroidered
in pink.
4 large hat of gray Georgette, with
Transparent brim was Il favorite. The
crown. which was soft. was embroider-
ed in blue. There was no other TRIM
ming.
A hat admired bv everyone was a
sport hat OF white Rajah silk, with
Milan hemp facing. The crown ana
brim were embroidered in white and
the only trimming was number OF
small buttons Of the same material
as the hat.
A dressy hat of black horsehair
braid, lined with blue malinc. trimmed
in rose velvet and sweet peas.
One of the new styles Is the TWO
tier hat, a beautiful model OF TINS
TIVE was in silver gray. The brim
was Of Georgette crepe, and the crown
was of gray rose petals, trimmed In
n darker shade of gray velvet ribbon.
Mrs. Steele is showing a handsome
line Of hats, and the McConneil Dry
Goods company and Nathan Feinstein
are also prepared to take care OF tnelr
usual trade lin millinery.
