FOR A BROTHER IN FRANCE

Jimmy the Boy Scout has just sold another Liberty bond The woman who bought it had pleaded in vain that she already carrying all her persistent young with a fine. manly way. He is president of his class in high school delivers newspaper route morning and night, and works for 0 grocer during Saturdays rush hours. Anna Stesse Richardson of the Vgilantes said to Jimmy after he had sold the bond:
 Jimmy how you find time to sell Liberty bonds, and why do you take such great personal interest in the war;"
 q have brother in France,"
 To this explained everything, but my friend exclaimed in a shocked voice:
 Why Jimmy B-,youre only son."

He has brown hair and eyes, and he his hat so-" drawing his own tan felt his eyes at raksh angle-"He an't much taller than me. kind of thin, and quick I don't know his name. but I'm going to get it soor I've written letter-To Lonely American Soldier and sent it of General Pershing to the Epedi- tionary Force in France bet fellow that hasn't any folks there will answer it."

 The people at home will feel the safer to know that the men who represent them at the front men with an inspiration, that they not hired sol diers, not Hessians but who appreciate what vic tory will mean and what defeat would mean.
 This brings to another matter the new Amer can especially the national army when it shall have been organized. Experts say will be different from any other army ever formed; its constitution will be different it's officers will be different and its spirit will be different
 Heretofore little thought has been taken of the man in the ranks Until twenty years ago he not held in high esteem and no effort was made to make him any better When he enlisted whatever might have been his reasons for ensting it assumed that he had into the army because he fit for nothing else But before the present war broke out the status of the enlisted was improved. He longer regarded loafer, when he not the servant, the striker officer.
 But the enlisted and the drafted man have now entirely position place in the most demo- cratic army ever formed. We may say that since the civil there has been little democracy in the United States army. Aristocracy about prevalent there as in the German army, much more prevalent than in the French or the Swiss army.
 In recognition of the new character of the army, especially the national army special instructions have been issued from the department, to West Point and officers of the reserve alike These orders have been given publication far we know They probably only verbal, and we have heard them repeated by officers to whom they have been delivered they in substance follows:
 You officer in the most democratic army earth. You shall treat the of your command with respect You your position opportunity which denied to the men in the ranks which they did not choose to embrace. The in the ranks from all classes of society Some of them of social standing, of wealt, education and refine ent, perhaps superior to your own. They pa- triotc you, they in all respects your equals
 These orders will not lessen the discipline which is essential the effectiveness of the army. It is meant only to strike caste, which in democratic army must limit it's effectiveness. That the orders be- ing observed gather from the reports of enlisted men and drafted men who come home on furoughs and who speak of the consideration with which they are treated by officers of all ranks.

Hoover dscloses another aperture which should be stopped up in furtherance of his campaign for the Orleans for the races thousand race horses which consuming 40 900 of the best oats every day while the people of the country being adjured to feed their children cornmeal that may have wheat to send to Europe.
 But action by MT. Hoover with reference to these pampered horses would still leave a prob lem his hands, or it would be shifted to somebody admit, and that is the point of view of the Times the horses might be dispensed with in favor of the blow horse where the latter has already been displaced by still efficient the horses still hand the property of their owners and they must be fed unless the owners to their property. However they need be fed the best oats.
 The worst thing though about the horses at New Orleans is not that they consuming oats but that they consuming transportation Race horses are moved in Pullman cars, not many to the car, that some hundreds of must be used in trans porting these horses about the country. Just Pullman for the transportation of human beings being taken off and people being induced in way another not to move about the country so people curailed when the roads left open long trains of race horses.

CONCENTRATION
 OF WORK URGED

The two big musical events of 1918 are coming closely together, so closely in fact, that two of the greatest artists or the concert stage will actually meet in Phoenix
 Leopold Godowsky, one of the great est of all living pianists, gives a con cert at the Elks' Theater on Saturday night January 19. and Reinald Werren- rath, the noted American Baritone, sings in the same theater the night previous, Friday, January IS.
 Godowsky will arrive in the city to hear part of the Werrenrath re- cital, which will add special flavor 10 the concert, for Werrenrath will no doubt be at his best with such a dis tinguished guest in front.
 Reinald Werrenrath is one of the fin est baritones on the operatic or con- cent stage. It is the same Warren rath who toured the country in 1916 with Geraldine Farrar and shared euu- al honors with that famous star. It was this tour that established him as Americas leading baritone.
 Leopold Godowsky, of course. is known through the world as a master of technique and is absolutely pre- eminent in his craft
 From among the hundreds of criti- cisms. the following is quoted from the New York Herald:
 He gave an exhibition of piano play ing that will long he remembered. So far as technical difficulties are con- cerned, they seem not to exist at all for Mir. Godowsky. His runs are of amazing clarity, whether they be sim pie scales, run in thirds or octaves. They fairly purl from his finger tips. 1 Impressive boise and clearness marked i his work throughout as well as verility. | The enthusiasm of the audience grew with each number, and it surrounded | the platform after the regular program and compelled encores. MT. Godowsky 1 is a phenominal pianist"
 The appearance of either of the above stars would be a great treat in | the local musical season, but the two
 so close together, makes a veritable musical feast.

notes. As federal reserve bank would pay transportation charges both ways, this could be done not only without expense to them but also without impairing their reserve position. Such an addition of s20000,00 gold to the reserves of Federal Reserve bank would add s3O.000,O00 to it's lending power if proceeds were paid in fed eral reserve notes. The opportunity for patriotic service in thus strength ening the federal reserve system to meet the nations financial strains is open to every California state bank whether small or large and whether member or non-member.
 At the end of the year 1917, Fed eral Reserve bank of San Francisco paid a semi annual dividend amount ing to approximately s29S,OO0, cov- ering accrued dividends upoI. its out standing stock at the rate of per cent per annum from October 1, 1915, to December 31, 1916. The semi-an- nual dividend paid June 30, 1917, amounted to approximately S1OS.0O0, making a total paid during the year of approximately s406,000. The divi- dend requirements at 6 per cent per annum are aDOuI SAfV,VVo per dn- mum. At the present rate of earn ings Federal Reserve bank at its next dividend date, June 30, 1918, should easily be able to pay divi- dend covering an IS months period at a rate of per cent per annum thus paying all dividends accrued tc that date.
 It would be of great value to any member or non- member bank, wheth- CT small or large, if, as a means o1 | gaining information concerning the methods of the Federal Reserve bank it would arrange to have a skilled employe of the grade of assistant cashier or chief clerk enter for few months the employ of the Fedora Reserve bank. Positions are avail able for a few such men either i'm mediately or after a little notice. 4 bank having on it's staff one who hat had such experience could not fail tt derive important benefit through th' knowledge gained of how best tt avail of the advantages of the Fed eral Reserve system.

NOTED MUSICAL
 STARS COMING

The Arizona Council of Defense has received a strong letter from the Council of National Defense con- corning solicitation of funds for pa triotic and philanthropic war pur- poses. something that has increased to such an extent that it demands official supervision to prevent waste fitness, overlapping, duplication or fraud.
 The National council recommends that the state councils take active steps to supervise all such appeals to the public for money and for wards a resolution adopted, referring to the appeals now being made on behalf of innumerable war relief agencies. It appears that the benev- olent energies of the country are being dissipated by such solicita- tions, affecting the Notation of gov ernment loans and subscriptions to other worthy purposes. It is urged, therefore, that there should be regu- lation and centralizatioH of such ap- peals, and it is asked that the state council so organize that it may as- sure itself of the worthiness of the objects for which appeals are made and of the integrity and financial responsibility of those who make the appeals. Especially it is asked that all campaigns for private aid be conducted in entire cooperation with
 the state councils and that the peo- pie contribute financial or other as- sistance only to persons and objects | accredited and approved by each | council.
 The Council of National Defense suggested that the State Council of

A PRAYER

Make me Soldier worthy of thy cause,
 And worthy to do battle beside those Who fought alone when thy pure banner was Trampled in dust by thy minimizing foes Purge Thou my heart of all it's worldly dross Of selfishness, and make it strong to stand @ Against all fear of little death and loss,
 And pure enough to follow Thy strong hand... And should Death overlook me, in his flight
 This be the lone desire out of my soul
 As from the night is born the lit day Make Thou my life noble in Thy sight
 As were my death in battle, and my goal

 THE INDIAN SCHOOL

About one hundred people enjoyed a party which was given by the giris on New Years eve. A program, consisting of songs, recitations, piano and instrumental solos passed the evening away. Fruit. cocoa and sandwiches were served two hours before the year 1918.
 The literary societies held their meetings Friday evening, at which the members pledged themselves to make the New Year a more suc- cessful ore than that of the past. These societies are taking great in- terest in debating. and are also gaining a practical knowledge of parliamentary law, which will be of great value to them later in life.

A change has taken place in the
control of the Security State Bank
of Dante thrn the purchase of the
stock of the McKellips family by
Mr.. James A. Wagner of Tabor,
and his associates. Mr.. Wagner
is now the president of the bank
Our townsman, Mr.. A. j. Fillaus,
has also become interested in this
institution and will for the time
being hold the position of assistant
cashier5 and we understand that as
soon as arrangements can be made
to enable him to give up his posi-
ton as manager of the lumber
yard, he will cast his lot with the
bank in the position of cashier,
which will probably be sometime
this fall. Until then Mr.. Geo. j.
Schafer will remain with the bank
as CASHIER
From what we know of the new
management, we are safe in say
ing that the bank will be conduct
ed honestly and efficiently with
view to render the best possible
service to the community, and we
sincerely hope that all the people
within the Dante territory who
are not pet customers of the bank
will become such and help build
up an institution which is now con
trolled practically by home people

The Journal Of Heredity rises to re-
mark that the first mermaid in all
probability was not pure invention. In
all probability the mermaid story
started when some ignorant seafaring
man saw nothing less than manatee

seen taking on the appearance of life
