MOTHER CAT
NURSING FOUR SQUIRRELS.

Mr.. Ash Coins who lives near
town, is the owner of a cat that he
is very proud Of, and rightly so, for
she is now doing cher bit" toward
food conservation, by nursing four
young squirrels which were captured
in the woods near the home of Mr..
Coins.
This mother cat had the misfor-
tuneof losing several young kittens,
either by drowning or otherwise,
and was given the squirrels to con-
sole her broken heart. The young
rodents take to their adopted moth

1t might be well to remind
certain people that the Presi-
dent is commander-in-chief of
the United States forces, and
that the constitution which we
are so fond of invoking cloth
es him with almost absolute
power. 1t is supreme folly to
suppose, that Congress, mighty
as it is in some matters, can
take away one fraction OF his
authority. That was dele
gated to him by a higher pow.
er than any Congress. There
is no middle road-the Amer
lean citizen who does not give

ence to his government in this

den is a personal one, while on
his brave shoulders rests the
cares of a nation.
Bright, confident letters
from home, breathing of love
and confidence in our cause
and in the heroes who are up
holding it, will do more to win
this war than any other agen-
cy. And gloomy forebodings
and wailings will as surely re-
tard if not defeat us. Your
boy should hear none but good
news from home unless it be
absolutely necessary. Not
that his love and devotion is
any less than of old, rather
greater. This he is proven
by his presence on the battle
front. But his one one SUI
preme thought now is to strike
with the utmost of his power
for the safety and sanctity of

1t is a lamentable fact that

IL ID idlllcutdUlC ldSt thdl
thousands of otherwise good,
loyal citizens of this country
have never outgrown that boy
ish inclination to want
George" to do it. They have
not realized that both them
selves and George" have
grown to mans stature and
assumed mans obligations.
In fact we as a people have
been long accustomed to re-
gard with complacency that
familiar quotation, THAT
which is everybody's business
is nobody's business" until
the very thought has become
a part of our natures.
But we are now being rude
~ aroused to the unpleasant
fact that George" is busy
too busy to assume the obliga-
tons that we fain would
shirk. He has also a task that
is calling for the best that is
in him. In this emergency,
there are but two courses lef.
to us-either to BRAY ely Shout
der our load and march with
the workers, or skirk the res
possibility and be relegated to
the rear with the other slack
ers.
And what a world of shame
and disgrace can be compress
ed into that word Stacker.
With what contempt we have
always regarded the balky
horse, rearing and plunging
and fretting himself into a |
fever just to escape the task of
drawing a load, the burden of
which would have been far
less tiresome than his silly, |
obstinate objections.
Thus with some people who |
call themselves good Ameri-
cans. The load they are ask
ed to assume would not prove
at all oppressive if taken up
cheerfully and carried patient
ly and bravely.
1t isn't only the German
spy, the German sympathizer
or even the pro-German Amer
lean who is doing most to clog
the wheels of the great war
machine. The heaviest drag
to that machine is the man
who whines for George" to
do the work that even his own
craven conscience tells him
he, himself, should do. He is
not only not a help, but is a
dead weight because he is
leaving undone that which his
government had every reason
to expect he would do.
Reader, if you are expecting
George" to do it, take an
other think. George" is
busy-desperately busy, and
has neither the time nor the
inclination to take up the bur-
den you have so shamefully |
cast down and abandoned.

SW|TzER'S HAS FIRST
 ANNIVERSARY HERE

Switzer's Style Shop celebrated their first anniversary in business in Ari- zona by opening a branch in Flagstaff and in remodeling the store in Phoe- nix in such a way as to show to greater advantage their exclusive offerings in Women's wear.
 The new branch in Flagstaff is in charge of Miss Madeline Gibbons, who was Mir. Switzer's assistant here dur ing the past year and was associated with him in his previous career on the coast.
 In the Phoenix shop the display win dows have been enlarged and a bal cony built in the rear. Under the bal cony is located the business office, and above the work room and second fit ting room.
 When l came to Phoenix and opened the Style Shop a year ago" said Mir Switzer to Republican representa- tive, 'I had made up my mind defin- itely as to the amount of business expected to do in this city the first year. We have doubled my expecta- tions. This can be explained by citing the quality of the stock carried, and the reason for being able to get ex- elusive models at price that enables me to sell the highest class models from the best makes at less than they are sold on the coast for instance
 All my buying is done on CO., operative plan. My buyer in New York buys for 13 different firms. NJ in different cities scattered all over the country. His volume of buying is such that he gets lower prices on exclusive models, made by the highest class makers, than he would get if he repre- sented one big million dollar firm. In this way we are able 10 give our cus- toners the same garments at a sav- ing. and guarantee the exclusiveness of every model sold in Phoenix"

So I, planted him one In the kidneys
and another In the mouth, and he went
clean up against the rail. But he
came back at me strong, and we were
at it for some time.
But when it was over the gold stripe
came down from the bridge and shook
hands with met
After this they did not haze me
much. This was the beginning of
certain reputation that had in the
navy for fist-work. Later on had a
reputation for swimming, too. That
first day they began calling me
"Chink," though don't know why,
and it has been my nickname In the
navy ever since.
It Is curious thing, and I never
could understand 1t, but garbies and
marines never mix. The marines are
good men and great fighters, aboard
and ashore, but we garbies never have
a word for them, nor they for us. On
shore leave abroad we pal up with
foreign garbies, even, but hardly ever
with a marine. OF course they are
with US strong In case we have scrap
with liberty party off some foreign
ship-they cannot keep out of a fight
any more than we can-but after 1t
Is over they are ON their way at once
and ION ours.
There are lots Of things like that
in the navy that you cannot figure out
the reason for, and think it is be-
cause sailors change their ways so
little. They do great many things
in the navy because the navy always
has done them.
I kept strictly on the job as a fire
man, but wanted to get into the gun
turrets. 1t was slow work for long
time. I had to serve as second-class
fireman for four mouths, first-class
for eight months and in the engine
room as water-tender for a year.
Then, after serving on the u. S. s.
Des .Moines as a gun-loader, I was
transferred to the Iowa and finally
worked up to gun-pointer. After a
time got my G. P. o. rating-chief
petty officer. first-class gunner.
The various navies differ In many
ways, but most of the differences
would not be noticed by any one but
a sailor. Every sailor has q great deal
of respect for the Swedes and Nor
wegians and Danes; they are born
sailors and are very daring, but, of
course, their navies are small. The
Germans were always known as clean
sailors; that Is, as in our navy and
the British, their vessels were ship
shape all the time, and were run as
sweet as q clock.
There is no use comparing the vari-
Gus navies as to which Is best; some
are better at one thing and some at
another. The British navy, of course,
is the largest, and nobody will deny
that at most things they are topnotch
least of all themselves; they admit
it. But there is one place where the
navy of the United States has it all
over every other navy on the seven
seas, and that is gunnery. The Amer
lean navy has the best gunners in
the world. And do not let anybody
tell you different.

and some of them picked up more
change there than they ever did in
Germany, they told me. The must
clans formed bands and played almost
every night at restaurants and thea

about the town.

CHAPTER l.
In the American Navy.


My father was a seaman, so, nat
urally, all my life I heard great deal
about ships and the sea. Even when
i was little boy, In Walston, Pa, I
thought about them q whole lot and
wanted to be a sailor-especially a
sailor In the q. s. navy.
You might say was brought up on
the water.
When I was twelve years old went
10 sea as cabin boy on the whaler
Therifus, out of Boston. She was an
cid sQuare-rigged sailing ship, built
more for work than for speed. We
were out four months on my first
cruise, and got knocked around lot,
especially in storm on the Newfound-
hnd Banks, where we lost our instru-
ments, and had a hard time navigat-
ing the ship. Whaling rews>work on
shares and during the two years was
On the Therifus my shares amounted
10 fourteen hundred dollars.
Then I shipped as first-class helms
man on the British tramp Southern
down. a twin-screw steamer out Of
Liverpool. Many people are surprised
chat fourteen-year-old boy should be
AeImsman on an ocean-going craft,
hut all over the world you will see
young lads doing their trick at the
wheel. I was on the Southerndown
two years and in that time visited
most of the important ports of Eu-
rope. There Is nothing like a tramp
steamer If you want to see the world.
The Southerndown Is the vessel that,
I'm the fall Of 1917, sighted a German
U-boat rugged up like sailing ship.
Although liked visiting the foreign
Rorts, got tired of the Southerndown
after while and at the end of voy-
age which landed me In New York I
decided to get into the United States
navy. After laying around for a week
or two I enlisted and was assigned to
duty as a second-class fireman.
People have said they thought was
Wetty small to be a fireman; they
hxve the idea that firemen must be big
men- Well, / am 5 feet 71a inches in
height, and when I was sixteen was
lust as tail as 1 am now and weighed
18S, pounds. I was a whole lot husk-
