.REDCROSS SEEKS ID ENLARGE
 MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN WEEK IN DE- CEMBRR TO BE DEVOT- ED TO EFFORT TO EN- ROLL AT LEAST 65 MIL LION NEW RECRUITS.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Make it unanimous is the slogan of the membership campaign of the American Red Cross, which is to be held between December 10th and the 23rd. The campaign in Prescott and for the Yavapai County Chapter will be in the hands of Miss Anna Cahill, who has served in this capacity since the organization of this chapter. The American Red Cross has deservedly earned the title of the greatest mother in the world" More than 22.- 100000 adults in the United States pledged their dollars last Christmas to signify their belief in this theory. The entire population of the United States gives its heart to the Red Cross as stories of the work the Red Cross has done in the world war be- come known.
 At the Christmas roll call this na- ton Is asked to enroll not less than 65,W0,000 persons, which represents the proportion in the ll0,000000 resi- dents of the United States available for membership. Red Cross member ship in the Pacific division now amounts to l022,649 out of an esti- mated population of 5000. 400. To at least double this number is the am- bition throughout the division.
 What the Red Cross has done overseas has been told simply and splendidly in letters which have come from the men themselves and in articles written by professional writers. Each story has heart throb.
 What the Red Cross has done at home may be less thrilling but none the less vital Soldiers families know its details. communities feel the ef fleets. and the society has maintain cd its equilibrium through the de- monstrations of the American Red Cross. With all understanding born of their own activity. the American people have definitely learned what the Red Cross iS They will not for get. In the United States an enor- nous war fund was raised last spring and the year before: in each Red Cross chapter throughout the nation funds have been collected. Now it is not a war fund subscription: it is not a contribuatiou to the local chapter that the American Red Cross asks of each citizen-it is his heart and his dollar.

ALBUQUERQUE, \. M-, Dec. TO-. Notice has been received at Albu- querque by the district forester that the question of charges for grazing privileges on the National Forests during the next five years has been definitely decided by the Secretary of Agriculture.

DEATH OF MRS. F. E. COFFEEN

DEATH OF MRS. F. E. COFFEEN
Mrs. Flora Coffeen, wife of F. E.
Coffeen, passed away very suddenly
at her home in north Sumner last Sun
day shortly after midnight. She had
apparently been in her usual health,
tho complaining of a pain in the head,
and had been about her usual duties
on Saturday. She was taken i'll at 3
O'Clock in the evening and became
gradually worse until the end.
Fora j. Trobaugh was born at De-
catur, ILL.,, Jan. 10, 1856. She was mar
ried to Frank E. Coffeen at the place
of her birth. Two children were norm
to the union, Mrs. F. H. Johnson, OF
Sumas, Wash, and Mrs. Chas. Trash,
of Wakarusa, Ind. These with the hus-
band and five grandchildren survive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coffeen have resided
in Washington state 18 years, the last
six years being spent in Sumner. Mrs.
Coffeen was member of the Metho-
dist church and was identified with the
Eastern Star order. She was a wo-
man of a quiet, retiring disposition,
a good friend and neighbor.---Sumner
News Index.
Mrs. Gotten was well known and
loved by all in Finley, having lived
here three years, just before moving
to Sumner. The Finley friends ex-
tend their deepest sympathy to Mr..
Coffeen in his bereavement.
Mrs. Cresswell's son, Roy Bush, left
last Saturday for Toppenish, after
couple of weeks visit in Finley.
The special services at the Finley
church last Sunday were well attend
ed, large number, of people attend
ing from Hover. The musical pro-
gram by the Pasco and Finley choirs
was a treat and enjoyed by everyone.

school house grounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. BLAZER and children
visited at the Waldroni home last
Friday. Mrs. Blazier is grand
daughter of Mrs. Bray who has been
visiting at the Waldron home for
some time.
The Finley neighborhood has suffer-
ed from the depredations of bands of
horses from the hills for several weeks.
The damage done runs into hum
dreds of dollars and some of the
farmers are losing patience and in
some instances have been shooting the
horses or driving them thru wire
fences. This form of cruelty can hard
ly be justified for the horses are not
to blame and should not be made to
suffer for the negligence of their own
ers. However, where farmer has
fifty or a hundred dollars worth of
damage done, one can hardly blame
him for losing patience. A few farm
ers are so situated that they can cor
raj stray stock and about the only
remedy seems to be to give the horses
such a fright that they will not care
to return.
