RED CROSS SEAL SALE

From a letter received from
national headquarters in New
York City, the Arizona Anti
tuberculosis Association is in.
formed that it will probably lead
the United States in the per
capita sale of Red Cross seals
this year. If this proves to be
true, it means that Arizona will
be presented with a pennant,
stating the amount of the sale
and that it is the pennant winner.
The sale has already surpassed
the aim set by the Association to
sell a million seals. This triples
the sale of last year and exceeds
the total amount previously sold
in this State.
Next week the Association will
announce which county has won
the per capita prize. The county
winning this prize will have the
full time services of the execu-
tive secretary for one month
without charge, who will do in
tensive educational work in both
towns and rural districts.
Watch for the announcement
of the result of the contest.

TRICK In EVERY TRADE

Military organizations are not
exempt from the old saying
there's a trick in every trade, "
and Herbert Stokes and William
Brown, U. S. Marine rockies at
Port Royal, S. c., will tell you so.
They recently volunteered to
drive a government auto" for a
veteran Marine "noncom." in
charge of a working detail, figur-
ing u would be much easier than
carrying light lumber.
But the government auto
proved to be a small truck pro-

and, to make matters worse, the
roads weren't any too smooth.
II Ialways detectwork slackers,
somehow" laughed the old Ma
rine sergeant at the crestfallen
recruits, "and that's one way.
It's an old stunt, but it still works.
Funny, eh?"
Brown and Stokes saw nothing
funny about it, as did their COM
rades, but they agreed with the
sergeant that it still worked. in
fact, they proved it that after
noon.

he really wanted work, he would

WAR SAYING STAMPS

The machinery by which the
purchase of a Thrift Stamp or a
War Savings Stamp is to be made
as easy and convenient as the
purchase of a spool of thread or
a pound of nails. in every COM
munity in the United States Is
rapidly being established. Al
ready 1876, 900 agencies have been
established and by the close of
January this number will have
been increased by 350.00O.
In addition to these agencies
there will be 1000, 900 sales
stations, which do not receive
direct authorization to make the
sales from the Secretary of the
Treasury, but obtain their stamps
from authorized agents and sell
them over their counters at their
cashiers windows, and other
places.
Fifty thousand post Offices now
have War Savings Stamps on
sale and $4,000 banks and 5000
individual firms and corporations
have been appointed agents.
Nine thousand interstate corpor-
ations having places of business
in several states will constitute
lis, 900 additional agencies.
An intensive campaign is now
on for the establishing of War

organized by 10 or more persons
in any community, school, club.

be affiliated with the National

) RECREATION AND THE WAR {

Almost every week the papers
report that President Wilson has
closed up his Office and gone to
the golf links for an afternoon
off. Many good, conscientious
people wonder why a man SO
busy and witA so much response
bility will leave his office in such
strenuous times, just to play golf.
Behind the firing lines in France,
the soldiers engage in all sorts
of games and sports. Again peo-
pie say, what a waste of time
and energy"
Among our own soldier boys,
both at home and abroad, Uncle
Sam is doing great deal to pro-
mote sports and games and other
forms of wholesome recreation.
The leading schools all over
the United States, with all their
war economy and thrift cam
paigns, are urging more participa-
ton in sports by a larger per-
centage of students than ever
before.
The Young Mems Christian
Associations all over the country
are filled to overfowing with
men and boys who want to play
the games and to take the regular
Gym work.
On every hand people are
eager, as never before, for some
sort of recreation and amuse-
ment. What does it all mean?
Why so much emphasis upon
play and sport? Have we gone
play crazy? Or, are we just
realizing the truth of the old old
maxim, all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy?"
Too many men and women are
growing gray and old under the
terrible strain of these perilous
times and trouble. We must do
something to, relieve the tension
and release the strain that is
sure to burn out our vigor before
it's time. The final test is one
of endurance. Not only how
fast can you go, but how long
can you keep it up?
We must Danish as much as
possible, these paralyzing moods,
this nerve racking worry. One
hour a day of complete freedom
from worry; of. full free, un-
checked relaxation, is a better
health tonic and a surer life elixir
than all the drugs that flood the
market.
Give nature chance to re-
move the clinkers from the fire
box of life's furnace. Shut off
the roaring blast of ambition and
strife once and a while, and give
the engine a chance TO cool. Get
out of the office now and then
and let the care-taker sweep and
dust and rearrange the fixtures.
1t isn't a waste of time. 1t
isn't a loss of power or energy.
1t is winding up the clock. 1t is
refilling the tank. And when
you go back to your work, your
eye will see more clearly; your
mind will grasp more quickly,
and your hands will do more ac-
curately the things that demand
your effort.

A Hint to the Aged

If people past sixty years OF age
