TROPICAL CURRENT
OF WEALTH SWAMPS
CRAFT OF HAPPINESS

All who 60 cruising on the
Seven Seas of Matrimony are
determined to find the warm
and lazy current of luxury.
Once adrift on its bosom,
they can abandon themselves
to all the joys of life and
avoid all of its tolls, they are
sure.
But this tropical current of
wealth and pleasure has it's
own dire perils.
II has swamped many who
mistake it for the only path
to the City OF Happiness.
Even character will rot in
tropical heat.
Wealth weakens the will
power.
Ease produces laziness.
Elegance is an enervating
disease. Those who catch 1t
do nothing more than dance
and smile and sing and pass
the wine of life.
They have no worthy pur-
pose in life, no skill to meet
its storms. They are like
ships without rudders.
They are caught up in ty-
phoOns of jealousy and sell
fishness, they whirl helpless
ly in maelstroms OF self-in-
dulgense and sloth.
Ordinary mortals have lit
tie reason to envy the ro-
mances of the rich. The dere-
lict ships OF society make an
appalling list.
Riches divide and scatter
the interests of husbands and
wives. Increasing interest in
each other is the only secret
Of the worlds most beautiful
love affairs.
II two develop side by side,
grow in love, understanding,
wisdom, experience and the

In Thick of Fight

Mrs. jeanette Harris has re-
ceived letter from her son, Pvt.
Earl 4. Harris, Co. b, LIST U. S.
Engrs., on active service with the
American expeditionary force. He
says
Dear Mother and All:
Received your most welcome
letter today and the magazines
from father. That American
Khakiland is quite little paper.
Mother, have been in the
trenches for a few weeks and
haven't had a good chance to
write in that time. l have been
seeing some real exciting warfare
this time at the trenches. We are
away from the front now in rest
billets.
I'VE were living in little two
man dugouts, and couldn't get
our heads out very much in the
daytime Did all of our work at
night in the trenches.
I'VE would sit in our little
cubby holes and watch the Ger
man shSiio Duibt dll over tne
fields. Fine grain fields look
just like a checker board with
shell holes.
Il have seen the shells burst
my so thick that the ground was
just popping like popcorn. 1t
isn't a very funny sensation to
have a few of those shells crack
ing near your heels.
"Airplanes are Just like birds
over here, the air is so full of
them. Have seen as many as 90
planes in the air. French and
Germans having a battle.
War is great piece of ma
chinery, and ] think IL Sherman
was here now he would say worse
things about 1t than he did in
those days. Well, some of these
days this thing will be over and
We will be able to tell more about
experiences than we can now. We
have been having some great
weather the last few days
After coming back from the
trenches we had to take a gaso-
line bath because the coolies are
pretty thick in the trenches. l

SIGHT SUB
OFF COAST
UNITED Press Leosed wire1


NEW YORK, June ia bis
German submarine. carrying two
deck guns, was sighted last Tues
day, 800 miles off the American
coast heading eastward, said pas
sengers arriving here today on
the Holland-American liner Nieuw
Amsterdam.
The submarine made no effort
to halt the liner.
1t is now believed that this u
boat is the one that held up the
Norwegian steamer vindeggen off
the Virginia coast and looted her
copper cargo.
The submersible is evidently
en- route back to Germany with
the spoils.

Ia. E. F. Society
Notes

Fraulein Bertha Krupp Won
Bohlen paid a flying visit to
Paris recently, by proxy.
Mothers day will be celebrated
widely by the members of the A.
E. F. now sojourning in France
and England.
The patronesses for the Inter
Allied Charity Peace ball have not
yet been announced, nor are they
likely to be for quite some time.
Life is becoming quite gay
again among the members of the
fashionable base port colonies,
owing to the number of fascinat-
ing new arrivals of late.
European travel will be increas-
ingly popular this summer among
the younger American set whose
ages range from 81 to 81. Sew
eral members of the older set are
expected to come along also, as
|chaperones and nursegirls.

voted their best efforts to
Strengthening the Notifications of
the city, until now there is no city
in the world so we'll protected
from the possibility Of capture by
an invading army.
1t is as nearly impregnable as
an entrenched camp can be made
in this day of 75-mile guns and
16-inch shells.
The defense of Paris comprise
triple line of Notifications, each
one of which the Germans must
force before they can enter the
city proper.
The first, or inner circle, is that
within the shaded area on the &C
companying map, consisting Of. a
wall Fl miles long encircling the
city.
This was built in 1S41-44, and
consists Of an Old-fashioned ram
part, with a moat, a glacis, and a
wide military road between the
slope and the surrounding houses.
This wall is of practically no mill
tary value today.
The second circle consists of II
detached forts within a distance
of three miles of the original wall.
These, with the rampant, were the
only defenses of the capital in the
war of 1870.
Since then an outer ring OF
forts has been constructed, with a
front Of nearly 80 miles around
the city. These are strictly mod
ern Notifications; which form the
main defenses of the city. They
enclose an area OF 400 square
miles, and the principal ones are
from six to ten miles from the
heart of the city.
The defenses form three great
entrenched camps on the north,
east and southwest, the northwest
side of the city being left prac-
tically unguarded except for the

Mother"

l am writing this little poem
To the mother | left behind,
And it tells of my longing for her
Over here in this daily grind.
! am often alone and lonely
On post out in No Mans Land,
Buy my thots they 60 floating
homeward
To my mother in dreams sc
grand.
l dream Of you again, dear moth
AS you babe me that last good
bye,
And l marched, a proud Yankee
soldier,
For my country to do or die.
Countless days have passed since
We parted,
Weary days Of hard toll and
pain,
But my visions OF you have cheer
ed me
AS | fancy your face again.
How I long for your smiles of
gladness
That are haunting my mem'ry
still,
And the love in your eyes be-
seeching
Even now makes my pulses
thrill.
How you held me with hands so
gentle,
Closely pressed to your throb-
bling breast;
In that last fond embrace prom
ised
To live thru the crucial test.
The caress Of your hair, soft sill
On my cheek how I fain would
feel,
And from lips that are soft as
roses,
A sweet kiss I would like to
steal.
Little mother, for you there's
burning
A deep love that will never die,
Squirting on to the fight before us
Where the Angel of Death doth
fly.
Oh, 1t may be that only in Heaven
will meet you again, mother,
dear,
But it matters not what befalls
me
The bright star of your love
shines clear.

CROCERS PLAN TO AID ON RULINGS
 TO SAVE FOOD
Practically Every Store in Bis bee Represented at Meeting With Special State Repre- sentative

Representative of almost every grocery in the districc met Special Representative Elliot of the state food administration Tuesday night. MT Fl liot made a two hour talk outlining what is expected of the merchant and giving details of rulings to put into operation within the next week. The public will be informed of these plans as soon as the details are thoroughly / formulated.
 Mir Elliot pjointed out the necessity of merchants organizing and working tremendously. He presented an array of figures showing results attained by the food administration to date and made comparisons with conditions ill other countries.
 The most important matter now be- fore the merchants and the consumers is the conservation of wheat flour and of sugar. It is evident that the course pursuedoin the past few months has not beenlo altogether satisfactory. While a majority of the people are anxious to cooperate others make it their. business to devise means of out witting the food administration and accommodating a surplus of the essen tials.
 Several weeks ago an organization known as the Cochise County Conser- vation Dealers association was lorm- ed with a view of embracing in its membership every dealer in food pro- ducts in this county. The matter of bringing the membership up to 100 per cent was discussed at the meeting last evening and a number of new mem- bers were added to the list.
 The following firms were represent ed at the meeting:
 J. B. Angius, Arizona grocery; W. Ii. Anderson. Chris Vukasovich, Leo Jovanovich. John Bugen & Bro, Sam Prodonovich. Gull & Hart, L. G. Sena. Wellborn & Dodds. Phelps Dodge Mer- cantiie company, Palace grocery, Lo- we'll cash store. Ralph Gherna. Gus Hickey & Co. A. F. Marun, D. P Ros- si, Sam Ithle, A. NJ. Moore. N. F. Liss- man, Carlos Alien, J. G.

 The grocers plan to meet regularly under the auspices of the dealers as- sociation of the food administration rulings and the uniform adoption of the same.

Boards in other counties have so far taken no action on the appointments. The Cochise county board will probab- ly not taken any action until the segu- lar meeting the first Monday in July
 It is expected Shat as soon as the governor is officially notified of the actions of the several boards of super visors he will call a meeting of the council for the purpose of organizing.

MORE HIGHWAY OPENED.

The state highway department IS cleaning the road from the railroad track to the new highway SO that the traffic may go from now on the new road. In order to do this, if going to Bisbee from Tombstone, turn on Ere mont to Tenth street and cross the railroad track, going toward Schuster's following the beaten road across the old ball park ard cross the railroad track again east of Schuster's, follow ing the beaten track towards the new highway and by doing so you can take one long hill but not a steep one, and enc sharp curve, and thereby eliminate ali the long steep hills and saort turns that now are the abomination Of the motorists This temporary route will be used probably until the big bridge is completed. A local man niade the trip yesterday over the new link and finds that even without fix ing it beats the old route, until the new link can be cOmpleted.-TomD- stone l1rospectOr.
