BELIEVED DEAD IN
 FRANCE, SON WRITES
 TOH|S MOTHER HERE

Believing that her son, Lucas Para now in France. had died from wounds received in battle. Mrs. Nasaira Parra, 1109 East Madison street, last week dressed herself in black and went inso mourning for him with heavy heart, but stoically, like so many mothers whose sons have left them in the su- preme sacrifice of war.
 But Mrs Para is rejoicing todcv. She perhaps is the happiest woman in Phoenix, for she has received a letter, written by her son himself saying h. is going to get well, and for her not to worry.
 The first letter received by Mrs. Par ra was written by nurse who in formed her Lucas had been wounded two times. and the letter was so worded as to lead Mrs. Para to believe her son would be dead before the letter reached her. A telegram also came saying Lucas was seriously wounded.
 Tuesday of this week was when the second letter came. Mrs. Para saw m mediately it was addressed by her son. and with the glad exclamation. He is not dead! he is not deadn.' tore open the envelope and read eagerly the good tidings therein.
 The lelter Tn e1leCC SdlQ ne was Stlll in the hospital but getting along nicely and that he would soon be in the fight again. They were going to send me home" said Lucas, but I refused to listen to them. Let me go back and get a few more Germans before I go | home"
 His appeal apparently had the re- quired effect upon the officers, for far ther on in the letter he says that he is going to stay until the war is over We are having lots of fun over here he said. The fun he mentions is not explained, but the impression is gained | that the fun is in fighting and being al the front.
 | Lucas Parra was among the first men called to the colors in the summer of 1917. He is an artilleryman and has been in some of the big battles of he war. It is claimed that he was the firs Arionaz man to be wounded in France His father was J. R. Para, a black, smith, who died some years ago. Il closing his letter to his mother, the sof said:

OBITUARY
Martha Jane Arnett


 Martha Jane Arnett (nee Beaty) was born in Logansport, West Virginia, March 15, 1865. She joined the Meth odst Episcopal church in her native city in early girlhood. She was mar ried to Frank NJ. Arnett July 30, 1882, and her only child, Mrs. Lillian Bro- gan. was born in the same house in which she was born. Mrs. Arnett lived in Logansport and in Mannington, four and a half miles from Logansport, until she came to Phoenix, in Novem- Der 1907.
 Mrs. Arnett became a member of the Central Methodist church here, and shortly afterward was elected treas urer of the WOman's Missionary So ciety. Later she was elected president of Circle number 1. She held both po- sitions until her failing health com pelled her retirement.
 Her life was filled with good deeds for the poor. the sick, and the needy. She loved her church, her Christ and all that made life sweeter and better, continuing her share of making the world a better place in which to live. Her last words were to Rodger Lee Brogan. her grandson. bidding him good by and telling him to remember what she had taught him. Her only | brother, MT. l. W. Beatty, visited her several weeks before her death. She | was loved by all the church and all | who knew her. for she was worthy. | Mrs. Arnett had made all prepara- | ton for her burial, quietly awaiting with patience the summons that would | lead her to the Great Beyond. Not a murmer or complaint passed her lips | Her last moments were serenely happy To her pastor and others she had of ten expressed her complete trust il Christ. the comfort of his presence, anC her joy in his word.

B|C EXHIBIT TO BE
 FEATURE AT FA|R

One feature of the coming state fair that Secretary Boyce expects to attract more attention than probably any oth- CT IS the wonderful government exhibit that is being sent to Arizona for pre- sentation at the fair. The exhibit is being put out by the, United States .le- partment of agriculture
 Part of the exhibit is composed Of motion pictures, and one reel that VIII be interesting in Arizona, particularly to the people from the heavily timbered sections, is that which shows the dev- astatiOn of millions of acres of feet of timber as the result of gross negligence on the part of a camper. One fact that is forcibly brought home by this pic ture, and that ie not generally appre- ciated by the average person, is the close relationship between the produc- tion of timber. and the winning of the war. A forest fire allowed to burn ma;- mean fewer airplanes to fight the Hun. The prevention of fire may save the very trees that Uncle Sam needs to build the air fleet.
 Forest fires, the great menace of the wooded regions of the country. is the subject of one of the pictures that will be presented by the government at the Fair. The pictures show how very easy it is to start a fire, quite uninten- tionally, by throwing aside a burning match, then the discovery of the fire simultaneously by forest ranger on patrol and a forest guard at a lookout station on a mountain top. The story is completed by the heroic effort re- quired to stop the flames, the provls- ions made by the forest service foi fighting the fire, the rushing of me1 from nearby towns and the final COIL quering of the conflagration, but not until twenty houses are destroyed in d town bordering the burning forest.
 The film is an actual picture takeI on the scene by government photoc raphers during the recent disastrous fire in the Shasta National Forest ii California, which resulted in the de
