Woman s Club Meeting

Woman Club Meeting
 The Clifton Woman's Club held the first meeting of the year at the Bap- tist church on Friday afternoon. A number of new names were added to the list, and all the old members turn ed out in force. The afternoon was filled with interest. The Presidents 8 address was a stirring appeal to the club to take up more lines of war work, and that each member should feel it her duty to. see that such work was carried through. c. H. Love gave a short talk on his work with the Y. M c. A. in the Big Bend country. His description of the loneliness and privations of these men, more than a hundred miles from a railroad, made a great appeal to all present, and at the conclusion of his talk it was voted to take up the work of supplying these neglected men with books and magazines. The meeting was closed by an address given by Miss Hamil- ton, our school district nurse, on the work she is doing in our schools. This was followed by a discussion of the best methods of cooperation be- tween the mothers and the school nurse.

 PLATFORM ADOPTED

Denunciation of the "so-caIled" I. w. w. organization with pledges to do away with all wobbly practices in Arizona was written into the demo- cratic platform by the state party council, assembled in final session in Phoenix on Tuesday morning, last. Adjournment was taken shortly be- fore noon and the delegates will leave for their homes tonight.
 Pledges of support to President Will son and the democratic administra- tion at Washington and urging unre- served prosecution of the war were also included in the platform on which candidates for state offices will base their campaigns for election.
 After the war" problems also came in for their just consideration, the party pledging it's support to all measures and ideas that pertain to the reconstruction period that will follow peace
 Development of vocational training in Arizona is also urged, particularly with respect to the rehabilitation of those who have been in one way or another, disabled by the war In this connection the party urges that steps be taken for the industrial better ment of factories and mines and other places where labor is employed.
 Difficulties between capital and la- bor should be avoided and the party platform pledges itself to the working out of conditions tending to harmon 1ous democracy between the two fac tions.
 Reclamation of arid and waste lands is also urged as a measure necessary n n af fha hwy state. Barriers must also be remov- ed which have stood in the way of new industries coming into the state.
 Request was also made to congress that that body submit the amendment to the constfuion of the United States giving to the women of our country equal suffrage with men, to a vote.
 An amendment to the state land loan laws that will enable farmers un- der government reclamation projects to participate in the benefits thereof, is also favored by the party. Endorse ment of the permanent state road sys- tenn was also written with a pledge of legislative nominees to a continu- ance of that policy.
 The platform also advocates the ex- tension and broadening of the school system which provides for vocational education.
 Amendments to the existing pri- mary election laws are also urged. Endorsement of Fred T. Golfer for governor is also included in the plat form. In conclusion, the party coun- cil said:
 Upon this statement of principles we enter the campaign confident of the party's united support of the demo cratic ticket, national, state and coun- ty and we invite the cooperation and , assistance of all good citizens"

WHAT cATARRR IS

Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates general weakness of the body and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors only irritate and do little if any good.
 To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and building tonic, free from any harmful drugs. It is helping thousands. Try it.

OUT OF MANY RACES
RED CROSS MAKES ONE

ONE of the greatest services which
the Red Cross is performing in
this war Is the unification of the
many races of which America is com
posed through the Home Service
which, through its 10000 committees,
Is looking after the welfare Of the sol
diers' families In every corner of the
country. America has always been
called the Melting Pot, and truly, but
the process has been slow The war
has accelerated it. The Indians of the
west, the negroes Of the south, the ltal-
ians and Eastern Europeans OF our in
dustrlal centers, the MeXicans of the
Southwest, ArmenIans and Swedes and
Norwegians and Japanese and Iceland
ers-al are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly in the
war because 1t was Americas war and
they are Americans.
That they feel this is patent to those
who have seen and talked with these
men. Witness the Italian, who In the
assembly hall Of one Of our mObiliza-
tlon camps was waiting with group
Of his fellows to take the oath of al
legiancc. He stepped forward sudden
ly with tears In his eyes and with a
vivid gesture pressed a corner Of the
American flag that hung over the desk
IN front OF him to his lips. A group of
native born soldiers who had been
looking on with amused Indifference
broke into applause and cheers. From
then on these Italians were their
brother Americans.
Such work as this is valuable not
only for the morale of the men it Is
binding the nation into one organic
whole as It has never been bound be-
fore. 70 give concrete expression TO
this unity the Red Cross plans through
It's Christmas Roll Call, TO be held the
week beginning December 49, TO In
crease its membership from $4,000,
600 to the limit Of available member
ship. 1t wishes to give In this way no
tlce TO the world that every American,
irrespective OF creed or birth, stands
squarely and uncompromsingly for the
principles for which we have been
fighting that America Is one aud in
diyislble pledged solIdly for honor and
mercy and good faith.
