THE hope Of the world is not alone
that the armies Of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose Of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope Of the world
Is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force Of
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree tina, we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit Of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dan
gerous hour Of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense Of human rights and
human liberty
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium Of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms Of battle
hell rage, amid the fires Of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers Of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag Of the highest conceivable ideals
OF humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
10 friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
bic language Of universal mercy and
brotherhood. In the terms OF wasted
towns rebuilt, Of broken humanity
salvaged, Of dying children rescued,
Of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which We
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder Of the
guns, the roar Of exploding mines,

THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
BY HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash OF fallen cities and the cries
Of tortured humanity, the voice Of
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message OF hope TO our war
burdened world.
The black horror Of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were il
not for the spirit and work Of this
mighty force. The normal mind re-
fuses TO contemplate the situation
without this saving power.
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
OF declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
OF woe and sustains our faith in hui
man kind. II is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Gross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that insr res US with
courage and hope.
Out Of this hell OF slaughter the
Red Cross will guide ri,e warning ma
tons TO a heaven Of worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
Of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense Of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field Of death it is proclaim
ing its message Of liie-because il
keeps ever before us and the world
the cause for which we war-because
1t viii preserve US in the hour Of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope Of the world.

MEXICAN CONSUL
 PEEVEO,,-IN BAD

The Mexican consul at Phoenix be- came peeved at remarks derogatory Lo the Mexican, made by Perry Bull ard in the summing up for the de- fense in the trial of a man accused of killing a Mexican, and wrote a letter to tho grand jury, then in session. The letter was sneaked into the jury, but got into the hands of the bailiff and the court. The consul was cited to appear in court and plead to con tempt proceedings as well as the man who carried the note to the jury.
 Bullard is said to have told the trial jury that had the men and women at Columbus defended themselves as had defendant that there would have been no killings at that place, and the same held good wherever the Mexican had his habitat. The consul says that "the Mexican colony finds itself greatly in- Gignant." Well, the American people find themselves greatly indignant" with the killing of thousands of it's citizens, and it will be but a short time until other indignities will be heaped upon the Mexican people, unless this Carranza gentleman changes his meth cd of treatment of the American and gives less comfort to the enemy Hun.

KNEW THAT CALL

A man-o'-warsman on a visit to his native city gave an amusing instance of the readiness and resource of naval seamen. He had made arrangements at New York to meet chum from his own ship, but he had forgotten the number of the house, and he did not care to knock at every door until he came to the right one. A rag and bone man with bugle passed along. Jack seized the bugie.
 'I'm looking for a chum," he ex- plained. Then he blew the grog calls for the navy. As the last note died away a window was hastily flung up, and a sailors head was thrust out.
 "Ah," said Jack, as he handed back the bugle, "I knew I'd find him. "- Argonaut.

MAKE WOMEN ELIGIBLE JURORS

Owing to the impossibility of se- curing jurors in this county, Judge Paul C. Thorne has asked Governor Hunt to try to put through the state legislature a bill to make all women over the age of 21 and under 60 elig- ible as jurors. Women have the nee essary qualifications in California, and Arizona woman are far better posted on all affairs than their sisters in the Golden State. And in many cases women would be far preferable to me as jurors. By all means make them eligible.

 The teacher was dumbfounded when she heard the charge, and could not recall making any such remark. The corps of teachers went to work to at- tempt to unravel the mystery. Final ly 1t was solved: The teacher had told the boy he was disturbing ele- ment." News.

'It seems to me-" says Doc the Duck, "that the great part of our pop ulation hereabout is of the sort that does not seem to have the snap and ginger that progressives are general ly endowed with, and 1 think that some of the results that we have fail ed 70 obtain are a natural result of this lack of initiative, or whatever you may care to call it.
 'In view of this condition" says the duckling, "the next thing in order would be a remedy, and the other day, thinking over the possibilities of silch, the thought came to me that disease and cure go hand in hand and with that thought came the knowledge of every growing thing in our desert country having attached thereto a STICKER, some being of most dead ly awakening variety.
