SEDAN, KAS.
By Mrs. w. E. YOunebI00d

Sedan, Kan, Nov. 27.
Editor of the Phoenix Tribune.
Dear Sir: Today I suppose. all Phoe-
nix is wild with joy over the peace
news. All day since early morning
our hills and valleys have echoed and
re-echoed with the reports of fire
arms, the ringing of bells and the
blowing of whistles, together with the
cheers of multitude of people who,
in their abandon, have yelled them
selves hoarse. Americans of all col
ors and creeds are manifesting their
joy and thanks for this blessed peace
Of which we hear. We true Ameri-
cans are doubly glad, for now the
awful slaughter of sons has ceased
and our boys Zone hundred per cent
Americans) are to return home to.
dear old America, return to help es-
tablish a true and lasting democracy
in this fair land of ours, for now that
the cries Of bleeding Belgium" are
olACACCu, VIC d1 dDlC W near Iuc SlIil
louder cries of an oppressed and
bleeding or burning America-the
cries which for years and years have
fallen on the deaf ears of our fellow
countrymen. Today we are so glad
that we heard Belgium's call, glad
that we responded, for in that mighty
move all the senses of a dulled and
slumbering nation were aroused. Oh
what an awakening as she arises to
go forth to the rescue of a sister
country in trouble before her cleared
vision in unending succession comes
the scenes of the shedding of Amer
| ican blood by American. The lynch
ing, burning and destroying of the
homes, the tearing asunder of sa-
cred family ties-all these and darker
crimes performed by stronger Amer
ican against his weaker brother. On
her opened ears fell the cries of thou
sands and thousands of loyal Amer
leans who have not lived to do serv-
ice for their country because all too
soon their time was cut short by the
hand of a stronger brother. Their
hearts were opened and today-what
do they feel?

TUCSON
BY S. E. Newell

The influenza situation is becom-
ing more congested in this place. The
board of health is now having to
speed up on their work Cards are
being placed on every house in which
there is case of influence, and very
strict orders have been given in re-
gard to the wearing of masks. MASKS
are on sale at the Red Cross shop on
Congress street. They can be had
for Is cents. Let's get one. This
15-cent investment may serve to pre-
vent us from catching the disease
and l am sure it will help our bow
over there.
The influenza among negroes of
Tucson, as far as has been reported:
Mrs. Ophelia Myers, we are thankful
to say, is now improving rapidly
Miss Antonia Teal and Miss Carrie
Lee have both been shut in doors /"
few days with this disease. The doc
tor reports their case not very seri-
Gus. Mrs. Lura Alexander and her
two daughters, Myrtle and Mable, are
also reported to have influenza. Mrs
Elma Keys has been down with in
fluenza for several days. And yet,
without the care of doctor, but
through the untiring efforts and very
efficient care of her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Annie B. Nelson, and her brother, Mr..
Harry Nelson, she will soon be up and
going again. Mrs. Laura King is re-
ported sick this week, also her little
boy William There is more sick
ness among our folks in Tucson at
this time than at any time before.
Mrs. Ben Thompson is also quite
III, suffering from very serious at
tack Of asthma.
Mrs. Willie. Charles has recovered
from seemingly serious attack
which upset the whole family a few
days ago, when the doctor was hur-
riedly called to her bedside. We are
delighted to see her up and around
again as usual with her little Helen
in her arms or toddling along by her
side.

YUMA -SOMERTON
BY Mrs. E. E. Rainwater

Mr. and Mrs. Malloy and daughter
of Somerton, Arizona, were Yuma WIS.,
itors last Saturday.
Mr.. Leon Wilson and Mr.. and Mrs.
Will Jones returned last week from
the coast Mrs. Jones claimed that
she was very much benefited from
her trip to the specialist
Mr.. Fred Lynn. who has been suf-
fering with an attack of the "flu"
has about fully recovered.
Miss Gladys West of Los Angeles,
Calf. was called to the city this
week to attend the bedside of her
sister, Mrs. Montgomery. who was
quite i'll with the "flu."
Mrs. Tom Shelton was slightly in
disposed few days last week. but
is now able to go about as usual
Mr.. Tullis of Somerton, was a visf-
tor in Yuma Monday.
Mr.. Joe Griffin has ceased to be a
resident of Arizona and has taken up
residence on the California side Of
the river.
Judging from present indications,
as soon as the "flu" ban is lifted.
Yuma will boast a colored church. 1t
is badly needed. We welcome il.
Our colored Red Cross workers de-
serve special mention for the manner
in which they worked during the
United War Work campaign. You
will hear from them later.
Mr.. Chas. Baugh has fully recov-
cred from an attack ofthe "flu."
Have you heard how Mr.. Ollie
Brown, one Of our popular men and
Tribune patron, is making love in
Somerton? Do you know that if he
keeps that pace the wedding bells
will be ringing soon? Mr.. Brown is
looking far ahead for the fair damsel
is a farmerette and Mr.. Brown is a
successful farmer, so you see. Mr..
Brown has an eye for business.
Mr.. Harry Morris has the prettiest
twenty-acre ranch about two miles
west of Yuma that you ever laid eyes
on. Just recently he refused $500 an
acre for it. Our readers can get an
idea of what it means to own few
acres of this precious soil.
The soldiers say that as soon as
the ban is lifted they are going to
have one grand ball. They plan on
having fifty-piece jazz orchestra. The
boys of the 25th generally do what
they advertise. Watch their smoke.
Why is it, that when you ask some
of our people to subscribe for a
home paper they refer to some paper
thousands of miles away whose edi-
tor knows nothing about them and
cares less? If we will only patroniZe
our home paper. we can make 1t as
great as this Eastern paper. Charity
begins at home. Take your own home
for instance Beautify and adorn it
and every one will admire it. The
same holds true with our home paper
If each individual will do his share
towards supporting his home paper.
he will have no cause for complaint
on any score.

dence district of the city Tuesday, the
Tribune reporter was able to gather
few additional names to be added
to the sick list. He found Mrs. Chas

think this list will hold our readers for
awhile.

Candidates Spoke at Ehrhardt.

The county campaign party spoke
at Ehrhardt Tuesday to good crowd.
An interesting feature of the meet
ing was "questionnaire,' which re-
Quested each candidate to express his
sentiments concerning the war, his
preference for United States senator,
whether or not he would support a
Bleasite for governor, and whether
he had contributed to the Red Cross,
and bought liberty bonds and war
savings stamps. Some of the candi-
dates answered all the questions,
some answered a part of them, and
some made no reference at all to
the "questionnare."
So far it has been impossible for a
representative of The Herald to visit
any of the county meetings. We hope
to be able to present a full account
of at least several of the remaining
meetings, and it is our present ex-
pectations to attend the Olar meet
ing next Tuesday.

About the 17th of this month, Prl-

cinity for the purpose of canvassing
for recruits for the United States
army and any young men here be-
tween the ages Is to 21 and 81 to 40
who are anxious to do their patriotic

Denmark he will go to Blackville

Vodka Again Sold.

The Republic of the Ukraine has
revived the spirit trade for the sake
of the great revenue obtalnaole
therefrom and will produce 9,OO0,-
600 kegs year. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Car abolished the
vodka monopoly, which brought IN
huge sums annually to the govern
ment. Private manufacture contln-
ued, nevertheless, and there was
much drinking in both city and coun-
try. a fact which was frequently re-
ferred to in the Russian press. Dur
ing the revolution vodka depots were
looted in St. Petersburg and else
where and there were veritable or
gies of drunkenness. It would not
be surprising if what the Germans
refer to as Residue Russia were to
reestablish the monopoly for the
profit in it. The reaction has started
in the lost province of the Ukraine.

A Word About The Herald.

The war situation in regard to
labor has hit newspapers, perhaps,
harder than most lines of industry.
The Herald is having to bear its share
of burden, which it does without
complaint. The working force of The
Herald has been on the decline for
more than a year. 1t finally got
down to the two managers, Bruce and
Hit, and one assistant, Wheeler.
Now Mr.. Wheeler has received an
offer better than we could make him,
and he has gone to Charleston to
work for the Coast Line. Inasmuch
as he can make considerably more
money there than we could afford
to pay him, we don't blame him for
going. Every fellow must look out
for his best interests. This leaves
Bruce and Hit to hold down the
job. It is matter of impossibility
to get printers or linotype operators.
We have tried and we know.
However as long as Uncle Sam is
good enough to let us stay at home.
we will be on the job and do the
best we can, like the little Hindoo.
Our friends can help us out good
deal by turning in any copy they
may have for us any time before
Monday at noon. We can't promise
to get in psint anything coming in
later than that. Our friends can
also help us out considerably by
handing in to us any items of news
that they happen to be in possession
of. We will print The Herald and
we will turn out as much job work
as we can, and in the meantime
maybe something will turn up to
better our situation. Anyway, here's
hoping.

Methodist Missionary Meeting.

It was the good fortune OF the
members of the Methodist Woman S
missionary society to be entertained
last week at the home of our presl-
dent. Mrs. B. w. Simmons. While
quite a few of our regular attendants
were away on vacation, it was our
privilege to partake of Mrs. Sim
mons's hospitality. The president
presided over both the devotional
and literary part of the afternoons
programme. For the Bible lesson
she read a verse on stewardship and
followed this with a striking article
on ''The Stewardship of Personality.
Mrs. C. R. Brabham, Jr., then read
a most instructive article on women
in the Field of Missions" How little
we have known of the lives and
works of our great missionary Wo-
men! 1t thrills us to hear of what
they have done and it behooves us
to be up and doing our parts we'll.
A poem which gripped us was IF
You Were and 1 Were YOU This
was read by Miss Patrick. How true
it is said that no one else can do the
work that was intended for the in
dividual to do.
An article which has caused us to
think seriously and prayerfully was
ITO Women of Draft Age" This ex-
cellent appeal was read by Miss Bessie
Lee Black. More and more we wo-
men were urged to look about us
and over "the fields white unto har-
vest"
Before leaving this home where
we had spent delightful and most
profitable time together in sweet,
helpful comradeship, the hostess, as
sisted by her sister and Miss FRANKIE
Folk, served a salad course with iced
tea. REC. SECRETARY.
