WITH THE RED CROSS.
 By G. M. WILLARD.

Over there beyond the waters, In the conflict with the Huns. Where Democracy's brav
 daughters Match the valor of her sons; Over there my thoughts go
 speeding With the Red Cross in it's work, Binding up the bruised and
 bleeding, Friend or foe-e'en Hun and Turk Deeds of mercy, help and heal
 ing Is it's mission every where, For that brave band am kneel-
 ing Night and morning in earnest
 prayer. Over there my thoughts go
 flying To our Johnnie with his gun; Round about him comrades dy-
 lng- The chief mission of the Hun. Over there our gentle Mary Is enrolled beneath the cross, Half ashamed am 1 to worry Half ashamed to fear a loss. Sentenced to the rear to lan-
 guish In the sunset of my years; WEo can guage a parents an
 gUish? Who can chide me for my fears? Yet however well I love them; 'Gainst my love my heart is
 steeled, For Pm sure their God above
 them Would not call them from the
 field.

Cause of Headache.

By knowing the cause, a disease may often be avoided. This is particularly true of headache. The most common cause of head ache is a disordered stomach or constipation, which may be cor rected by taking a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets. Try it. Many others have obtained per manent relief by taking these Tablets. They are easy to take and mild and gentle in effect.

Notice the American flags that are flying over many of our busi- ness houses, and sope of our res idences in St. Johns. Many of them are tattered, torn and weath- erstained. It appears to the HERALD that no person can afford to allow his patriotism to be tar nished by lack of consideration for his national emblem. Flags may be bought for a very small sum of money and it seems that any patriot can afford the outlay necessary to keep the flag on his building in such condition that it will be a credit to his nation and to himself.

Funston Boys Off For Front.
 Arizona Republican,

NAIALOId 1CCPUOllCdIJ
 Arizona men who were at Camp Funston are on their way lover there. "
 The date of their departure and the points to which they were sent are bits of information that cannot be made public. The cen sors who supervise every bit of news that goes out from that big cantOnment will permit no word as to the number that has left the camp nor in what size bodies they departed.
 From the little that has trickled out to the public it has been learn ed that the great camp has been a scene of wonderful activity for some days and nights. Train af- ter train has been loaded, pack ing has been going on with fev- erish activity and the men have at last been rewarded with action for which they have long waited.
 The men, themselves. knew little more than the. outsiders as to the details of their departure. All thPv knew was that the order came to pack in a surprisingly short time. As to where they were going, they wouldn't know that until they had arrived.
 Some of the Arizona men sent to Camp Funston have been there for eight and one-half months. Others have been there less than a month. But the work has been fast and thorough, and the 89th division was considered to have become a splendid unit.
 Comparatively few civilians saw the going away, but the few who were so fortunate are said to have witnessed a wonderful sight. one they will never forget. Bands were playing, colOrs gleaming, rifles glistening, olive drab legs marching and marching. all with TO confusion. There were few goodbys, as there few visitors in the big camp, but there were many handshakes among men who were leaving, and a quiet meet you in France. "
 Boys whose home states were Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dako- Ua, Colorado have gone and have left behind them rows on rows of empty barracks, stripped hunks and abandoned chairs and tables. From one of the busiest places in the land. Camp Funston has been changed into one of the most de- serted.
 The Arizona men who were at Camp Funston have gone, but where or when or how they went are bits of information that the censor refuses to divulge.

EARTH OF ST. JOHNS.


 and will, no doubt, be of interest to great number of our readers:
 Few men have had a more cu- rious history than Sol. Earth. He was born at North Orange, New Jersey, seventy-five years ago, but was taken back by his parents to the Posen district of East ern Prussia when only a few months old. At the age of 13 he joined an uncle who had embraced the Mormon faith and with him jour neyed back to America. For part of the distance, on a road that eventually led to the old Mormon settlement of San Bernardino Cal, he travelled in true Mormon fashion at the bar of a two-wheel- ed push-cart. He left San Ber- nardino in 1862 for the old Colo rado River town of La Paz, to work for Mike Goldw ater. At this time probably 1, 800 men were washing gold in the creek beds around La Paz. Among the set tiers were Miguel Peralta, M. Goldberg. Levin, later of Tucson, and Ehrenberg, a German sur veyor, after whom a nearby town was named, In 1864 Earth went to the first term of court held in La Paz, by Judge Allen. to secure citizenship, for curiously, at that time he was not informed of the fact that he had been born in New Jersey and thought himself na- tive of Germany.
 He knew Kit Carson when the famous scout came through Zuni as a colonel of volunteers to set tie some trouble among the Nav ajo Indians. He remembers Car son as an ignorant and uncouth frontiersman.
 Earth went to St. Johns in 1864 with prospecting party, though not to stay. About that time he was freighting and packing with a train of seventy burros, which he later traded to Genung & Kirk land for the Peoples Valley ranch, though he never occupied the ranch or gained any benefit from its temporary ownership. Alter freighting around New Mexico for a year, in 1869 he was sutler at Camp Apache. In 1874 he To- c8ted permanently at St. Johns, where he still resides.
 His settlement in Apache coun- ty was wholly a matter of luck. He sat into" a little game of monte with some Mexican sheep men at the little settlement of Fl Vadito on the Little Colorado River and by morning was richer by several thousand dollars and a large band of sheep. With this stake hesettled down and became the first settler at St. Johns, which he named in compliment to Sonora Maria San Juan de Padilla, its first female resident. Late in 1879 he sold his 1,200-acre farm for a consideration of 770 cows, estimated worth $17,00O. The purchaser was the Mormon church represented by Jesse N. Smith and D. K. Udall, and the Mormon element since that time has been predominant in this locality.
 He has had a life of rare adven- ture, with enough incident to fill a book of meIodramatic sort. He was a storekeeper at the Weaver diggings in 1864, when the mem bers of the Weaver party would spend the rich returns of their hilltop labors in hours of most

Portland Official
Securing Recruits

o. c. Bortzmeyer, secretary of the
municipal civil service board of Port
land, who in company with Chief of
Police N. f. Johnson, have been tour
ingHthis part of the state for the pur-
lose of securing recruits for the Port
land police and fire department,
visited Ashland the fore part of the
week. Two days were devoted for
this purpose in Ashland and Medford,
and during that time MIR. Bortzmeyer
called upon the chiefs of the police
and fire departments of both these
cities in order to get line on any
available men to accept offers of po-
sitions in these departments.
On account Of the extensive ship
building and war industries in Port
land, it is necessary to keep the pol
ice and fire departments fully re-
cruited, and this condition has been
q serious problem confronting the
council of that city. The demand
for labor in the many lines existing
81 the present day has attracted large
numbers of men on account Of the
good wages paid, so that the council
has had to canvass districts to SCI
cure the needed police ard fire pro-
lection.
Portland has twenty.siX miles of
waterfront to protect. There are at |
present fifty boats on the river in
various stages of completion and the |
same number of boats being built /
on the ways. In order to protect
this huge industry the council has
authorized the municipal civil serv-
ice board to increase the police force
seyenty-five men.
The Portland fire lepartm
takes men from 19 to SS' years Of
age. For their service they receive
800 month at the s,art, with S.
increases every six months until it
reaches 1925. The fireman have one
day off in four, with g.j.ecl days
vacation every year at full pay
In the police department men are
accepted at the ages OF rom 2j to
as years, with a sala.y o. 500 /
month. An increase of $40 is given
the first six months, with s. every
six months until it reaches SIPS.

WHEAT CROP is LARGE
IN PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Notwithstanding the longest con-
tlnucd dry weather that the Pacific

! tai number of bushels than a year
go. says Hyman II. Cohen, in the
Portland Journal.
On the face of this assertion it
would appear that previous versions
regarding crops had not been accur-
ate, but an explanation OF conditions
clears away this misunderstanding.
All told, the Pacific northwest
states promise a wheat reduction OF
fractionally better than G1,000,0C0
bushels. This is the estimate would
Place upon the output, after seeing
il from east to west and from north

vest comprising 5S,9OOO0O bushels

While the total increase in the
coming harvest over last years will
he small, still it is encouraging in
the face of developments during the
last few months.
First ii must he remembered that
the total estimate of this seasons
crop is the minimum that Will be
produced. Weather conditions with

ting, the total may he increased g.
100000 to 5000, ,O0OO bushels n the

That the average production Of

area planted will not only make up
for the deficiency in the output per

The winter wheat crop will fall per-
