would help freely in the kitchen. On

OFF TO SEA
Young Hopkinsville Sailor Is
Now Ready For War.

Joe Kelly writes his father from
Norfolk, Va, under date OF Jan, Is:
Arrived at Newport News, Va,
Tuesday, the 22nd, where we an
chored for two days and then went
into the Navy Yards at Portsmouth
yesterday for repairs which were COM
pleted today and then came down
here where we will take on coal to-
night and will start across for the
other side in a day or so, but our
destination is unknown but we will
be gone for a couple OF months, so
you won't hear from me in thatlenqth
OF time.
We left San Francisco Dec. Doth
and arrived in Panama City Jan. 18th;
we had fine weather all the way
down; we stayed in Panama City two
days then went through the canal to
Colon where We took on coal, then
started on our days trip up the At
lantic to Norfolk. We expected to 90
to New York but for some reason we
didn't go. The trip through the Pam
anna Canal took 8 hours and was very
interesting as il is great piece Of
work.
On the way around some OF the
fellows became pretty seasick but
was fortunate enough to only get a
little headache While in Panama we
went swimming but there is nothing
but ice and snow up here.
Today they issued us heavy wool
socks, big artic boots, a windproof
suit with hood and big blanket over :
shirt with hood. We each have two
life preservers and we will be con-
voyed across with cruisers, so we
will be pretty well protected. We had
target practice on the Pacific side at
2, 600 yard range and our chief thinks
we did great work.
The great trouble with us is we
don't know what is going on in the
world We haven't received any
mail for over month and the only
news we get while at sea is what the
wireless operator picks up. We were
off the coast of Guatemala while that
earthquake was going on and picked
up an account of il in a wireless mes
sage.
Well must close as can't write
and explain everything like | want to.
| wanted to go to communion while
here but couldn't 90 ashore for more
than few minutes, as we never
knew when we were going to leave
port. You can write to me while !
am gone and | can get it when we
reach here again.
Lots Of love to all and pray for me
while am over there.

COCONINO SECOND
 IN SALE OF SEALS

Maricopa and Pinal Counties have won the prizes offered i'll the recent sale of Red Cross Seals. The sale for these coun- ties was handled by one agent, the Maricopa County Anti-tu- berculosis Society, and is a re- markable record. This means that on the basis of the 1910 census, an average of nine seals were bought for every man, woman and child in Marcopa and Pinal Counties. While these Counties made such a wonderful record, other coun- ties in the state are not far be- hind. Because of the splendid work universally accomplished in the state, the officers of the Association feel confident that the State will head the union in per capita sales this year.
 The four leading counties were, Maricopa and Pinal with per capita sale of 9.22, Coco nino per capita sale TOP, and Pima with a per capita sale of GAP.

Campaign Conducted By..Wo- mans Club-Entire. Town Friday - Remarkable, Re Canvassed - Stores Closed cord of Sales Work Still Goes On.

Over eleven hundred dollars worth of Thrift and War Sav- ing Stamps were sold in Will jams during last weeks drive. making an excellent showing in consideration of the, popu- lation of the town. MT. Geo Spellmire west side represen- tative of the county Thrift Stamp committee, placed Mrs. A. Sine, as president of the Wo- mans Club in charge of the campaign. She was asked to appoint assistants and conduct the campaign. She according ly appointed the following as sistants: Mesdames. T. A. Moore, E. A. Miller. w. D. Fin ney. L. Slower, F. E. Lowe, w M. Hughes, E. J. Nordvke and Barbour; and Misses. Carlson. Arza Hughes. Jane McConkey, Bessie Campbell and Elizabeth Kirwan.
 The town was divided and each worker assigned a given ] territory. Work was begun as soon as the assignments were made. but Friday, Washing tons birthday, was set for the BIG DRIVE.
 On Friday the stores. closed to commemorate the birth. of of the father of our country, and to add impetus to the drive.
 All of the workers tried hard and gratifying results were at tained. Among the women the ranking highest were, Mrs Hughes with S43S worth sold. Mrs. Slower with $49.6O and Mrs. A. Sine with S60. The record made by Mrs. Hughes is certainly remarkable one. worthy of special mention and especially high praise. Among the younger workers, Miss Ar ga Hughes ranked first, with $22 in sales.
 7 Williams has made an excel ] lent start on the years cam paign for the sale of War Say ] ings Stamps. In conducting the campaign, the Woman's Club has performed a valuable patriotic service. Williams has many thousands in stamps yet to sell, but if the same workers i can be persuaded to continue their efforts, the year will close with Williams ahead of her quota.

FIX. IT WEEK
 MARCH 1-7

The University of Arizona Agricultural Extension Service is urging all farmers in Arizona to join in the National Imple- ment and Inspection Week" to be held in all states the week beginning, March 1. Farmers are asked to do three things.
 First: Make an inspection of their farm implements and machinery to determine what repairs will be necessary to put them into workable condition and to locate the worn parts needing replacement.
 Second:--Determine those implements and farm machines so badly worn that they should be replaced with new.
 Third :--Order at once nec- essary new parts or new mach inery to be needed.
 A critical situation confronts the manufacturers of farm op- erating machinery, due to shortage of material and labor, together with transportation difficulties.
 Delays in ordering new ma chinery or parts often result in lack of implements at a critical time of seeding or other farm operation. The labor shortage can be partially offset by more efficient machinery.
