ARIZONA MUST
 INVEST HEAVILY

One hundred thousand dollars worth Of war savings stamps each week is the amount that must be purchased by the people of Arizona during the year 1918 If AriZonas quota is to be raised, IS the statement made recently by State Campaign Manager Harry R. Tritle.- The quota for Arizona is S5,- 25O,000 and this amount must be raised not later than December of this year.
 The reports coming to local head quarters from throughout the state is very encouraging but still it will be necessary to do a vast amount of work before the full quota is raised. The establishing of agencies for the sale of the thrift stamps has been especially successful. In Phoenix over 250 agen- cies have been placed within the past few weeks. Pinal county has estab- lished over 25 agencies while the small city of Mesa claims F agencies.

 Mrs. Heard made her motion at the Woman's club yesterday at the con- clusion of a talk given by Miss Walton, executive secretary of the anti tuberculosis association of Ari- zona who explained in detail the health crusade which is being waged throughout the country, dealing es- pecially with conditions in Ari- Zona.
 Miss Walton advocated medical and dental inspection in the school and stated that the association hoped to establish a free dispensary in the public schools. She stated that the legislature would be asked to es- tablish a state sanitorium and con- graduated Phoenix on the fact that this city would soon have a visit ing nurse in the schools.
 Miss Walton declared that for the past year the slogan of the associa- tion she represents has been 'Tf tuberculosis is preventable, why not prevent it'r and that purpose of the

The game of baseball scheduled be- tween the high school faculty and the regular Coyote team for yesterday af ternoon has been postponed until today at 3:45 o'clock. The contest will take place on the athletic field in back of the school proper.
 As reason for desiring to postpone the fateful day to a later date, the cap tain of the professors team declared the baseball diamond to be in condi- tion of muddiness detrimental to base ball playing.
 Manager MacEuen gives out that the stars" of the faculty nine were all in state of wild distress. Rheumatism, bald heads, earaches, and glass arms were among the various ailments with which the team was afflicted.
 The Coyotes were ready to play the game, even should they have to wade through mud and water a foot deep to cover the field. But what could they do with no team to contest with? Thus was the game postponed.

association was a modern health cru sade. She explained in detail the methods to educate the public on prevention of the dread disease and reminded the club women that be- tween 100 and 200 Arizona boys had been sent home from training camp and cantonment, victims of the great white plague.
 She told how the association had been maintained by voluntary aid last year and in this connection, spoke of the sale of Red Cross seals for which the Anti tuberculosis associa tion had @ contract with the Red Cross which received 10 per cent of the proceeds of the sale.
 Miss Walton said that it was a hope of the leaders in the movement to make up a council of men and women from various parts of the state to advance the movement. She stated that while there were branches of the association in Maricopa and Yuma counties, in other places where cooperation was desired, the matters were placed before the public through clubs, lodges and different organi- cations. At present, she said, a li- brary was being prepared to be for warded throughout the state by which means it was expected that an interest would be created in the cause.

With a splendid song service and a large attendance. revival serv- ices at the First Methodist church last night were unusually successful The congregation was well pleased with the rendition Of "He Included Me" by the children, who sung from the platform. Song books were pur- chased for each child who took part, by the audience
 Wilt Thou Revive Us Again." was the sermon topic. Some salient points Of the evangelists talk were:
 There are all kinds of revivals, but the kind that concerns me more than any other is the reviving of the church of Jesus Christ.
 It seems to me that every patriot, every man who loves his country, every man who says he loves God ought to be anxious that the church of God be quickened and revived.
 Some one is crying sensation, would rather have some sensation than so much stagnation.

 Some say that the old Gospel has lost its power I am here to tell you with all the strength I have, that I don't believe a word of it. Such a thought was matched out in hell. "The old fashioned Grace was good enough for mother, and it is good enough for me. The religion of Jesus Christ is not a head religion, but God must have the head along with the heart.
 Just as the church has kept the spirit of revivals aflame on her altars,
 has she been successful in her mis- sion of winning souls for Christ.
 Tt takes a live church to repre-
 sent a live Christ. No dead body can carry a living head. The dead belong
 to the grave. The living to life's activities.
 "There must be something pung-
 ent and vitalizing about the life of

MANY BUILDING
 PERMITS GIVEN

If the pace set during the first month of this year is any criterion of the year as whole, 1918 will stand well in the forefront of other years in Phoenix from building standpoint. Although the month of January is not yet over, the valuation of structures for which building permits have been issued since the first of the year up to close of busi- ness last evening aggregates $44,759. This is in excess of the valuation of the permits issued in January last year or in January of the year previous.
 Figures furnished yesterday by Building Inspector Herbert J. Mann show that in January 1917 the valua- tion of structures for which permits were issued amounted to $33,69S, while in January 1916 the valuation was $4,330. In January, 1915, the permits represented a valuation of $46,000, a trifle over that of the permits issued so far this month.
 Another interesting feature of the figures secured from the building in- spector has to do with the number of
