Dreadful Cough Cured

A severe cold is often followed by a rough cough for which Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proven especially valuable. Mrs. F. w. Olson, Maryville, Mo-, writes: About two years ago my little boy Jean caught a severe cold and coughed dreadfully for days. tried number of cough medicines but nothing done him any good until 1 gave Chamber lain's Cough Remedy. It relieved his cough right away and before he had finished taking one bottle he was cured. 1 think it is just fine for children. Adv.

Getting Rid of a Cold

The easiest and quickest way to get rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
 This preparation has been in use for many years and its value full ly proven. No matter what rem edy you use, however, care must be taken not to contract a second cold before you have recovered from the first one, and there is serious danger of this. A man of middle age or older should go to bed and stay in bed until fully re- covered. It is better to stay in bed three days at the start than three weeks later on. Adv

A PROCLAMATION
Executive Department, State of Arizona.

Executive Department,
 State of Arizona.
 In this, the sixth year of Arizona s statehood, and the first year of our country's participation in the war that has nearly all Europe in it's grip, it is in every way fitting that February 14th, 1918, declared by the law of this state legal holiday under the name of ADMISSION DAY, be observed also as THRIFT DAY and made an occasion for special effort on the part of every Arizonan to support the national government in its financing of the huge war organization that is essential to the dethroning of autocracy in Europe and the safeguarding of our nation and the civilized world against the tyranny of Prussianism.
 Our country's success in the present war, that democracy may survive to comfort and gladden. posterity, does not depend on armies alone, but on the effective mobilization of our resources.
 To win the war is not only the gov ernment's problem, but also that of every loyal citizen. Unity and collect i've effort will bring success. Personal self denial, plus personal patriotic eff fort by every American, will make us a nation invincible.
 The keynote of our solemn duty is Thrift. Thrift means something sacri- l feed, something saved, and thus freely | given to meet the country's need. It requires only little effort by the indi- vidual, but if universally practiced, it will insure our armies of that support which will bring them victory.
 Now, therefore, in the present crisis, I, Geo. w. P. Hunt, governor of Ari- zona, by virtue of the trust reposed in me by the people of this state, do earnestly recommend that giving to the government through individual saving and investment in government securi- ties be made to characterize predomi- nantly the observance of Admission Day, February 14th, 1918, the sixth of Arizona's entrance to the Union.
 do, furthermore, urge that Admis- sion Day, as hereinbefore designated, be celebrated by fraternal orders, civic public and parochial schools, and by individual citizens in the manner above outlined, to the end that all the people of the state may aid in making possible the country's triumph in the present war through the and exercise of thrift, and through specific investments in war savings securities, as recommended by the federal director of war savings for Arizona.
 In Witness Whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the Capitol, this 9th day of February, A. D., 1918.

 Governor of Arizona. Attest: SIDNEY P. OSBORN,

Were you to the splendid pro.
 gram given Tuesday morning ir
 honor of the one hundred and
 ninth birthday of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln? 8 true typical American.
 The Star Spangled Banner was played by the orchestra as it has never been played before and the vim the audience put into it was nothing slow.
 Invocation by Mss Agnes Brown.
 Selection by the Orchestra, and Such selection, we just natur- ally all drifted into dreamland, and dreamed dreams such as we had never dreamed before.
 And it came to pass, that, that address Miss Jennie Naegle made was simply a!stunner. The aud fence almost kinked their necks leaning forward so as not to miss any of it.
 And if you had never heard Miss Thurza Brown sing 1 might try and explain the way she sang Some Where Voice is Calllng". But is needless to try.
 Our sides are still S ore from the effects of Herman Writings jokes, especially the one entitled, ''The End in View. And Pm not going to tell you about the song Carl Anderson and the male chorus sang as you will hear it in the Opera.
 And we all know what noted | reader Miss Myrtle Thompson is, 1 and the way she read "Oh Why | Should the Spirit of Mortals be Proud" " was something amazing. This peice was Abraham Lincoln's favOrite poem.
 No words of mine can tell how those violin solos of Miss Esther Brown and GenerVeve Gibbons ! were appreciated.
 Thomas Isaacson gave a won derful talk on Abraham Lincoln as a religious man.
 Miss Blazzard sang America My Home Land" and it will not be forgotten soon by those who heard it.
 Miss Minnie Whiting gave the Gettysburg Address," which is considered a marvel of poetic 5plendor.
 The Orchestra played a march, and the many parents and friends of the students who were present says it was the best program of the year.

There had been speculation IN advance
rs TO how the women would meet the
requirement of stating age, or at least
giving sufficient evidence of showing they
were old enough to come under the con-
stitutional requirement of p years and
upwards. To the surprise Of everybody, a
large number OF women unhesitatingly
gave their exact ages.

DISCUSSION THAT HAS HELPED

To those extremists among admin
istration supporters who would make it
appear that every criticism Of war laxity
heard In Congress Is unpatriotic" may
be commended the attitude taken by the
people OF Great Britain toward discussion
III the House, of Commons The cry
heard here against Senators Chamberlain,
Nadsworth and Hitchcock is similar to
that raised in the early months Of the war
against Englishmen who questioned, but
as the war progressed the value Of patriotic
and constructive criticism was retrized
IN England, and as a result Of it many
evils were corrected
At bottom the question is one Of the
quality Of criticism and the motive back
of it. Nothing but good has come out
of the plain and straightforward talks of
senators who saw the needs of the war
organization which should be made. In
the light Of what has since happened the
country sees that nothing but harm can
come from efforts such rs those Of Senator
james and Senator Williams TO make the
critics appear unpatriotic, however well
meant those efforts may have been

1t is not possible for the Navy Depart

the required number of high-powered
glasses so necessary in taking keen OBJ

so interfcred with production that the
department cannot buy all that 1T has
need for Therefore, it has resorted to
the expedient of calling upon the people
for contributions.
Now. if you have pair of good opera

have no real need, send them to the Navy

PRESS COMMENTS.
LENITY MISPLACED.

One Louis Hershkovits, temporarily of
New Orleans, seems to have conscien-
tiously met about every condition requisite
to bring him under the definition Of war
time spy. He had obtained plans, draw
ings and other prohibited information con-
cerning the United States naval station at
Algiers, across the river from the Crescent
City. twas his admitted intention to con-
vey this information to Germany by way
of Mexico.
For this he was arrested, tried in a
Federal court and found guilty by jury.
Changing the venue to Germany, or even
to France or England for that matter,
what would have been Hershkovitz' fate?
The question is superHuous to the point of
absurdity. Tie would have been executed
as expeditiously as an efficient firing squad
could have arranged the preliminaries.
But our methods are different. The best
we seem to have been able to do for Hersh-
kovitz was to impose a sentence of two
years internment in the Atlanta peni-
tentiary With good conduct allowances
the suspension of his spy industries NAV
he even shorter Besides. az Fay and
Others who operated large spy plant in
this vicinity, with murder on the high seas
as a side line, can testify, Atlanta peni-
tentIary stone walls do not necessarily n
prison make. On the contrary, they have
at times seemed to be rather more i'm the
nature of sieve through which there has
been pretty steady trickIe of Teuton
emissaries caught and convicted of kul-
tural murder and arson who are now At
large and presumably back on their job.
About how much longer must this
mollycoddlc method of dealing with deadly
and dangerous enemies continuep We shall
have to come to severe methods in the end,
and the longer we delay the greater will be
the injury inflicted on us by our enemies.

THE Joys YOU SHARE.


I've been down south where the warm
wind blows
To the sunny coast where the gulf stream
flows,
Where the red hibiscus. staunch and bold,
Knows never the touch of breeze that's
cold,
And the pougainvillea. purple clad,
Seems TO dance all dav like maiden glad; /;
BY the fronded palms ! have stood and
seen
The sunbeams trickle through filters
green,
But I've come back home where the north
winds storm
And I'm glad to be where the hearts arc
warm.
There are beauties rare in the friendly
south
There are berries ripe for the hungry
mouth,
There is laughter gay on the golden sand,
For the Court of JOY IS that sunny land
And the grown-,ips seem when they get
down there
Like children bright that have known no
care
They claim new pleasures with out
stretched arms
And their eyes flash wonder at all that
charms, !.
But learned this truth ne fingered there,
That the real joys are the joys you share
] have stood on soil where no SNOW has
been
And have sat meath trees that are ever
green:
have dreamed and played in fairy land,
But ] missed the touch Of small boys
hand
And ! missed the smiles Of my loved ones
true
And the cheering words Of tho friends
knew
For never song bird warbled near
But | wished for them all 10 be there 10
hear.
And never a day dawned fine and lair
But claimed ioy that | longed to share.
