TRUE LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE
Shafts of Father Time Powerless to
Affect Those Blessed With Mutu-
al Affection.

Ordinarily, we would cuSs TO the linn
1t 'peeper" or an eayesdropper. But
we have confession to make ON the
first count, and we would plead miti-
eating circumstances Here is the
story:
On a DRILLING. foggy night, our way
lay down a side street toward home.
Several rods ahead there was a shaft
of light and when we reached the spot
we found window with the shade
halfway up. Wickedly, but not mali
ciouSly, we hesitated, stopped-and we
peeped.
There sat an old man and his wife.
They must have been we'll up to the
allotted three-score Of years. He was
smoking and she was knitting. Still
We peeped. Then she looked up at him
and smiled and said something He
laid down book, struggled up from
out of his comfortable seat and kind
Of hobbled out of the room, shortly
returning and carrying a glass of wa
ter, which he handed to her.
And as she drank she held the
wrinkled and bOny hand of her lover.
Then, as she finished drinking, she re-
leased his hand and the look she gave
him and the look he gave her We're like
shafts of sunshine breaking through
the murky clouds after days of rain.
That picture has haunted US a long
time. Somehow she seems beautiful In
our eyes, and yet we did not get
closeup" of her features. And he,
why as we keep thinking of him, we
bark back to the days when we once
visited fine old Southern gentleman
who possessed the graces of Chester
field and the courtesy of Don Juan.
Then we recall The words of a poet
which fits the case precisely: Let
Time reach out with his sickle as far
as ever he can; although he can reach
rudy cheeks and ripe lips and flash
ing eyes, he cannot quite reach love-"
When a man really loves q woman
she will never grow old, and when a
woman loves a KAN he is neither de-
Crepit nor bowec nor tremulous. She
is the same lass he woOed and he is
always the same gallant young fellow
who won her heart and her hand. |
They are absolutely equals, happy and |
free. These two lovers are travelling |
toward the Cit. of Silence, but they |
are leaving behind picture never to |
be orgotten.-Fremont Herald.

As far back as the first winter of
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
a sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, in
August, 1917, to send a full commits
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi-
tails were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention.
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and.
not least, measures undertaken for the
succOr of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
tins Of the war had fallen Is well
portrayed by this photograph of a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the
Red Cross came.

Future of "Tired" Nations,

The recuperative powers of nations
is great beyond belief, and hope is ever
present as long as the spark of vitality
is left. The same superhuman effort
that was put forward to repel the in
vader will again be exerted to remedy
the damage that has been done; only
there must be a breathing space be-
tween effort, and in that space lies the
greatest danger. This danger, how.
ever, Is more imaginary than real, and
whatever means are resorted to by the
population to deaden the effect of this
reactive period, it soon pals and the
sober minds of the populace again at

Soon after the entrance of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to a most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over a large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oxcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.

Early in the participation of the
United States IN the world war, the
American Red Cross perceived the
value of mobiiZing the school children

Cross was organized Before the war
ended nine million children were en-
rolled and helped in the war fund
and membership campaigns, in chap
ter production of relief supplies and
manufacturing furniture for the ref

goods were destroyed.
Children everywhere in the United

SPECIAL FEED FREIGHT
 RATES FOR STOCKMEN

The stockmen. of the state can take advantage of the half-price freight rate on feed into this territory for the remainder of this month. The ar engagement by which only half the reg ular rate on feedstuff would be charg- ed, was made by the railroad admin istration to aid the cattlemen in va rious drouth-stricken areas of the state. Many of the stockmen have taken advantage of the rate, but on January 25th the rate was put back to its former level by the railroad ad- ministration.
 While in conference at Tucson re- gently, De Lore Nichols, together with all other agricultural agents of the state, and with numerous requests from persons interested, wired the railroad administration asking that the. half-rate be extended. This brought the desired results, for word has just been received that the half rate will be continued until March lst

PROPOSES AIRPLANE FERRY
 OVER GRAND CANYON

Anent the proposed legislation be- tween the states of Utah and Arizona, by which several thousand square miles of territory in northern Mohave county, adjacent to the southern boundary of the first named state, would be exchanged for that portion of Utah lying south of the San Juan river, E. L. Vail, pioneer Pima coun- ty rancher and mining operator, who knows the state of his adoption as few do, has an original suggestion for exploitation of the beauties of north ern Arizona, worthy of the imagina- ton of the inventor of the Pike'S Peak scenic route, and his less illus trious successors.
 Mir. Vail proposes an airplane ferry across the Grand Canyon, plying be- tween Fl Tovar and the Utah side, passengers by which would be enabled to enjoy the natural wonders and magnificent color effects of Arizona's great gorge, without the fatigue, haz- ard and profanity incident to the de- scent via burro-back, as at present practiced.
 As an up-to-the minute magnet to the tourists from the four corners of the earth, who, each month in the twelve, of every year, visit the Grand Canyon, the concrete exemplification of MT. Vail's inspiration would be, it is believed, without peer. The Har- vey system should purchase it, the originator to retain royalty rights Tucson Star.

Edward Sickles and Earl Bailey must serve a conditional sentence of from 25 to 35 years in the state pris- on for the murder of Ed Duffy, mer- chant of Williams, on the night of December goth, last year.
 The sentence was pronounced by Judge J. F..

The young men showed little or no emo- tion at any time in the trial, answer ing all questions calmly, and even when sentence was pronounced showed no sign of sorrow or trepidation at the life imprisonment awaiting them. At no time have they seemed sincerely repentent for their crime, and when Judge Jones, just before sentencing them, spoke a short while in words and with intentions that would have brought forth signs of repentance, if

MASONIC ROOMS POPULAR.

The local Masonic Lodge, F. & A. M., No. 2, is experiencing a period of growth and prosperity that is very pleasing to the members and should be but forerunner of better things to come. For some time past there has been steady influx of young men into the lodge who are adding more than their names to it's list of assets. The new building and the new club rooms have been of great benefit in keeping interest at the proper heat, which is as it should be, for the quar- ters are equal to many found in the larger cities.
 The furnishing of a club room, or rest room, is a feature that has prov en extremely popular. There is cer- tainly a place here, among the men, for down town club rooms, and the Masonic members have to go no fur ther than their building. Easy chairs, all the latest magazines and periodi- calls, card tables, etc., form a great combination these cold nights, and every night finds some taking advan- tage of them.
