The Christmas celebration of 1913
will not be quite the ordinary one of
cheerful but tcin,l ines superficial
merriment. There are many, many
homes where there will be an empty
chair for the boy who>lies under the
soil Of France. IN millions Of others
the boy is separated by thousands of
miles of distance. The broken circle
fcan net have quite the unbroken joy
Of ordinary DAYS.
But it is a Christmas that should
run deep into our lives. 1t will seem
more like the first Christmas of all.
Then els NOW war had been ruling the
earJ' Datiat. arrcfa 4 tyrari5s
sat on theie threnes and made cruel
war. The Christ was cooked up to
as the one to bring peace. No other
bleVsivgf was quite so much desired.
So for the past years we have long,
81 Ter reace Wath the deepest yearn-
ing of the heart. Now it has come
and the spirit Of Christ has again
It's silent influence has proved more
powerful than the worst engines Of
war that. the malice Of man could
produce. IT has ovcrshrcwn the one
greatert 4 t-ttm az military l5roe
the world ever knew or created.
II has neeved men to fight on Until
wrong and injustice were pulled
SHOWN from their high seats Of power
and hum9ed 'in The Gust. So let us
gatfa1 SPORT cur ftscsides with
deep thanlSfulness that The lcngings
Of .nlr hearts have been fulfilled.
Let US not forget the. homes that
are enDy ord broken, rot only those
SD v-ap robbed homes in our own
city but the many thTcughctt the
nation where hearts aGhe every time
the vacant chair reminds those who
are left to mourn that The voice of
one they loved is forever stilled. 1t
il in tl7ss9 homes that the horrors of
war are the more keenly felt. Let
no one be. lonely or hungry on this
blessed day. We n1'l~t make II time
of 10y for TIE children, so that they
shall remember it as the greatest
dav Of the whole vaaw.
Yes, let orr Christmas day of 1918
be one Of love and generosity, the
open house. the reunion Of families,
the extending of the hand of well
come and brotherly love and above
ell, relief to the friendless and des-
titute---in fact a Merry Christmas
to all and for. ALL
We hereby give notice to our Nad-
miring friends that if any of them
dare to give us Christmas present
with brass clasps and fooled leather
cover. that the anne has already been
promised in advance to our favcrite

PHELPS DODGE WINS
 THRIFT STAMP STAR
 FOR ARIZONA STATE
STATE DIRECTOR HARRY R. TRITLE ANN o UNcEs FIRST HONOR STAR FOLLOWING RE cEIPT OF LETTER FROM T. L. HOUSTON, SOCIETY SECRETARY

First in the state to report over the top" for its war savings stamp society is the Phelps Dodge Mercantile com pang. The announcement was made in Phoenix by State Director H. R. Tritle of the Arizona war savings stamp committee a few days ago that as each war savings stamp society in the state made good its pledge for the sale of thrift stamps and baby bonds the name of that society with an honor star after each name would be published. In response to this mo- tice T. L. Houston, secretary Of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile company war savings stamp society, incidental ly one, of the very largest societies in the state, has just written State Direc- tor Tirtle as follows:
 q am pleased to report that our SO ciety has gone over the top more than 100 per cent. The amount pledged by our society was $20,000 and to date our sales have been more than $45,- OOO
 We note in your letter that you say a list of the societies will be publish Cu d Sldl VIII bC AhoCAAC0 0AACA all societies that have fulfilled their pledges. The amount of our sales will of course entitle us to have a star.
 We will also push the sales of the stamps as vigorously as ever until the end of the year"
 This letter proved one of the most encouraging things received at the state headquarters for the war savings stamps in a long time. In all prob ability the Phelps Dodge Mercantile company war savings stamp society will be deemed entitled to have at least two stars after its name when the list is printed-one star for quota and another for it's 100 per cent over subscription.
 This list will be published some time next month and will show just how the many war savings stamp so- cieties in the state are doing and how many of them have lived up to their definite pledges to invest in the best little bonds the government is offer ing to careful and patriotic investors.

EFFORT BEING MADE
 TO KEEP UP QUOTA
 OF THE DISTRICT
CAMPAIGN BEING MADE TO IN CREASE THE LIST OF ADOPTED FRENCH ORPHANS IN THE WARREN DISTRICT; MANY RE- VIEWING FORMER PLEDGES

Quite a number of the residents of the Warren district have renewed their adoption of the fatherless chil- dren in France, but there are still some who have not as yet done so. It was the hope of those interested in the work that the same number be adopted this year in the district at last. Mrs. W. H. Brophy. who has charge of the work. still has hopes of reporting that the Warren district citizens are going to see the little ones looked after again this year, or the number increased. There have been 350,000 homes in France wreck ed and no longer exist. Besides the loss of men, there are 5.000.000 civil ians belonging to the invaded dis tricts. 100000 of whom remained under German domination. Of this number there is perhaps but few of the adults whose health is not wrecked
 If we had lost, proportiOnate to our population, as many men as France has lost. instead of the 60,O00 for whom We weep so bitterly. we would have 6.000.000.
 For those of us who will have our boys back. could there be more touching thank offering to God than that we should take one little French orphan under our care?
 The French race can only be saved if the little ones are taken care of todsy-and taken care of by the friends of France, for stricken France for a time, at any rate, must trust to her friends How could America ever rejoice fully in our great tri- umph if it appeared that our friend, France, whom We had always pro claimed. to be our friend, was found to have gone down entirely, and Amer ican friendship had seemed to have been so little-as this would mean?
 A great Frenchman once said. Power means protection In that degree in which we are powerful. pray God that we may be a protection tc our friends.
