The division must furnish 100000 kits part of which yill be allotted to the army and the remainder to the navy. The quota for the Central Arizona chapter is 300. which Mrs. James hopes to supply in a fortnight. All the branches and auxiliaries will be asked to cooperate in producing the required number.
 Mrs. Win Wylie. chairman of First Aid and Mrs. Leroy Ladd, secretary of the department have made a de- cided success of this important branch of the work. The classes in First Aid and Home Nursing which they organized some time ago are closed and already applications have been made for the classes which will open in the autumn. The First Aid classes will complete the prescribed course in two weeks, the lectures for this division being furnished by Dr. Willard Smith and Dr. Orville H Brown.

 It opens with Cur boys on the battle front in France. massed to meet an- other sort of a driye-the desperate ef- fort Of the G9rmsn troops to smash the line, cut the railway communica- ton and reach the coast
 You expect those boys to hold their part of the line at any cost. They eX- pect you to hold your end of the line here at home.
 They must face the shells. the shrap- nel, the leaden hail of German machine guns, the poison gas, the liquid fire, and every other savage horror of mod ern warfare.
 And you? Why, you have only to face a mild and gentle Red Cross .so- licitor on your own peaceful street. Your end of the line is the easy one. Do not explain to the Red Cross so- | licitor that you bought some Liberty bonds and therefore feel that you have done your duty. You didn't give away anything when you took the bonds. You saved something. You loaned your money to the government at q fair rate of interest, and you didn't take q single chance because that loan was backed by the best security on earth at the present time. Every dol lar will come back to you. dragging interest behind it. You bought bonds, of course you did, but that was an in . Vestment, not a gift.

Red Cross Work For April Makes
 Another Record

PARIS. May 19.-The work accom- plished by the American Red Cross in April surpassed all records of the or ganizatiOn since it took up it's activi- ties in France Food and drink were supplied to American soldiers on the way from ports of entry in France to the various camps.
 Nine rest stations on the American lines of communication and seven can teens on the French lines provided 40S,0 meals. Nine metropolitan can- teens served 454,000 meals.
 A complete new hospital with 200 beds was established in a chateau in behind the front. 4 hospital of 500 beds is being erected at a famous race track near Paris. Convalescent homes have been opened at Cannes and Biar- ritz Nineteen artificial arms and 16e artificial legs were distributed gratis,
 For Americans at the front there was completed a shower bath establish ment, with equipment for removing vermin. It has a capacity of 25000 men weekly. Two laundries were installed at aviation camps, of sufficient size to wash the clothes of 1 LOGO mon weekly Six field kitchens furnished food to soldiers going to and returning from the battlefield. Each has a capacity of 5000 men daily.
 The Red Cross in the month distrib- uted 69i,00 bags of tobacco and pack ages of cigarettes.
 Under an arrangement just conclud- ed, the I. M. C. A. withdraws from all hospitals the Red Cross assuming re- sponsibility for activities of whatever nature there.

not loan their arms and legs and lives to the government. They gave them to the nation.
 The time has come for you to give something. Give it with a smile. Do not wait for the solicitor to explain how much your money is needed, Make out your check and carry it down to the Red Cross headquarters. Be thank ful that you can thus take part in the greatest organized charity that the world has ever seen.
 Red Cross and red tape do not go to- gether. You will get immediate action on every dollar invested. The work is in the hands of loyal American men of affairs, who have closed their own offices until the end of the war in order that this job shall be hustled through. Your contribution will soon see active service, and your dollars will be spent where they can do the most good.
 The boys on the other side are hold ing their end of the line. Will you hold yours?

 The nation will subscribe the S100,- 100000 asked for and then subscribe a great sum in addition which will be welcomed and which will be used to splendid purpose. For what is the giving to the Red Cross? What man or woman in Arizona would not give up anything required if it were known that the money given was needed for food for little children that soldiers on the field needed more and more bandages?
 The Central Arizona district is asked for s52,0oO. What a small amount!
 If it means a little more comfort for men from this and other states if it means a little more care for the men from this and other states, if ii means a little more protection for the men from this and other states What a small sum.

 PLAN DRIVE TO PASS THE GOAL

"Thanks, mate. Thanks to the Red Cross"
 Thousands of times have this and similar expres- Sions been uttered on the war-weary battlefields of France.
 "Thanks for what?" Yes, for what?
 For the wounds carefully tended; for the hospitals thoughtfully and completely prepared; for the hot and stimulating food ready for weary fighters; for the thought that sends little comforts along shell-scarred roads to where the watching soldiers wait; for the happy moments, all too few, when release from battle strain permits a little rest and re- cuperation in reserve trenches; for the thousands of nurses that have given their lives to save others; for the thousands of stretcher- bearers who tread the tortu- ous trails to take the wounded back to care and comfort; for the comforts in kits and warmth in woolens that loving hands have pre- pared in thousands for the dressings for wounds with. out which the loss of life would be larger; for these things and for hundred oi other thoughtful tokens o1 care, "Thanks, mate, Thanks to the Red Cross"

pany, which includes the original
townsite of Estancia, the Moriarty
townsite, besides various other pieces
of realty in the county.
After hearing arguments, the COM
missioners declined to recommend
that the taxes be cancelled.
The matter was then at once taken
into the district court, Judge Hollo-
man of Santa Fe sitting in place of
Judge Medler, who it was said for
some reason was disqualified or did
not want to sit, and Judge Holloman
granted the application for cancella-
tion of the taxes The record of the
proceedings is not available but we
are told that Judge Holloman's de-
cision contained proviso that the
Dlanket mortgage covering the prop
erty of the company in the county
was to be discharged.
Col. R. E. Twitchell, receiver of the
company, was present
During the arguments it was stated
that it would be impossible for the
county to collect the taxes due, re-
gardless of the decision in the case,
as there were prior claims amounting
to much more than the value of the
property. This is something new.
The common geezer has been taught,
and it is probably true in his own
case, that nothing but death can take
precedence of taxes. But it seems
that soulless corporations can beat

CHRISTMAS BOXES
FOR SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS OVER SEAS

I Much misunderstanding seems tc
exist about the sending of Christmas
packages to soldiers and sailors over
seas.
For the benefit of those not under.
standing the system whereby these
packages can be sent, the following
directions will probably give the de-
sired assistance.
Each Branch and Chapter in Tor
rance county has been officially noti-
fled from headquarters how to send
these packages, therefore you should
see the secretary of your Chapter or
Branch for information. If the sec
retary Of your branch is not informed
as to the method the Chapter secre-
tary will give you the desired infor-
nation. Cartons for sending these
packages may be had from the Estan-
cia Chapter secretary, by sending a
coupon for same. Please do not
write for a carton unless a coupon is
enclosed.
The time for sending these parcels
has been extended to November 30th
instead of November goth as previ-
ously announced.
If you do not have committee ap-
pointed for inspecting these boxes,
you and your postmaster can arrange
the matter all right provided you can
get the carton from the Estancia
Chapter.--C. H. Bennett, Secretary
Torrance County Chapter.
