A LIVING CHRISTMAS GIFT

There is bigger demand for babies this Christmas than has been the case for many years. More people want them for Christmas presents, if you please, and the orphan asylums and founding hospitals are unable to sup ply the demand. One institution in New York-the New York Founding Asylum-has shipped more than a hundred of them, but has calls for thousand which it cannot supply.
 The New York institution has been making a speciality of Christmas babies many years. That is, every year, along about Christmas time. it has calls for babies to be adopted But this year the requests came in by the hundreds instead of by the dozens. ] The institution itself does not attempt to account for the increased demand. but it is of course due to the war. The truth is, the war has sweeteneG
 mankind. It has developed human love
 and affection. It has made the race
 more thoughtful of the unfortunate members of the race. It has begottcn kindliness where kindliness was for gotten. So it is natural that we should read where childless couples have de 1 cided to adopt orphans-and it is n3- tural that they should think more ser l iously of it at this season of the yeal ] than at any other season.
 i A baby is a real Christmas gift 1 Nothing else can take it's place as
 such. The dolls we give to little children show conclusively the babies
 are the thing-that there is a place in | the human heart always for the com ! panionship of a little child, and that
 when the place cannot be entirely
 filled, it can be partly filled by a
 crude imitation of little child It is
 a. goodly sign, this increased demand for babies for Christmas.

CITY WILL ORDER THE STREET RAILWAY C0,
 ID PAVE AND GRADE

The first step toward compelling the Phoenix Street Railway company to live up to the conditions of it's fran chise in the matter of paving, and grading dwas taken yesterday morn ing by the city commission, which in structed the city attorney to draw up a resolution directing the street rail- way company to fulfill it's obligations under the franchise
 The city commissions action came as a result of a recommendation at the commissions meeting last week by City Manager Thompson, in which Mr. Thompson advocated that the city take some action toward the railway company. The resolution authorized by the commission yesterday will be pre- scented and acted upon at the meeting next Wednesday.
 Action by the city manager and the commission in regard to the street car track paving conditions was hast ened by a report some time ago by possibility that the city would be held responsible for accidents which might l track paving and grading.
 Undert the terms of the franchise hedl aeu
 l held by the street railway company
  it was pointed out, it must conform to any grading done by the city on streets on which it's tracks are laid i The tracks must also be paved by the company with the same material and ] at the same time the city paves the street on which the tracks are laid ] MT. Thompson. in his recommends tions a week ago, pointed out that this was not being done by the street cal company, causing streets paved by the city on which there are car tracks tc be in a bad condition.
 A quantity of routine business also was transacted by the commission al its meeting yesterday morning, thougt most of it was of minor importance One ordinance was introduced, how ever, that promises to have a gooC deal of effect on the dairy business 1T this city The ordinance, which was

together with material from the club membership will form the cast for a varied program of fun at the Orpheum on the evenings of April ? and 3. Tick cts are being sold by club members at S1 each and these tickets may be eX- changed on Monday at Everybody S drug store for reserver seats. There will be 100 50 cent seats and these will be on sale at the window on the night of the performance.
 Rehearsing is going forward steadily and the public is assured an evening of laughter The proceeds of the enter tainment will be used for the purchase of liberty bonds during the April drive, and later converted into money when the time for building a club house ar rives. There is great need of a home of their own for the Mesa Woman s club, which has grown to a membership of well over 100 names. The aim of the organization is to add to it's build ing fund just as fast as possible and when practicable to do so, erect a

 The ordinance provides that all milk users shall cleanse all milk bottles i'm mediately after using the contents: that no dirt or filth be permitted to remain in the bottles; that bottles shall not be thrown into garbage cans. and that it be made unlawful to brea k a milk bottle deliberately. Discussion of the ordinance showed that careless ness on the part of consumers is lead ing to a great waste of milk bottles and that in addition to the price, the bottles are hard to keep on hand on account of shipping conditions.

SPINNING SEASON IN MESA NOW |S OVER

MESA. March 27-The Mesa ginning season has closed with $500 bales ginned by the three companies. Un- fortunately for the farmers the gin were not in operation as soon as the crop began 10 be gathered and those who had cotton reody were unable to take advantage of the better prices prevailing in September
 The delay is recognized as unavoid- able on account Of war necessities hay ing priority Cn the railroads and all other shipm ms were being held up ac- cordingly. The three gins when once completed ran night and day and turned out an average of 100 bales a day. The Attaway- Phelps gin made a creditabe record with over 300 bales to it's credit, though beginning the erection of the plant well after the early part of the season. All three gins gave service satisfactory to the farmers and proved themselves amply able to handle any acreage that may be planted in this vicinity. Several farmers on the southside failed to deliver cotton to the gins before the closing down of operations, but the total amount of seed cotton left over is not large.
 Captain Hobson Speaks in Mesa
 Captain Richard P. Hobson spoke at the Vance auditorium last night to an appreciative audience on "Democ- racy Triumphant-Its Task Supreme '' The address was along the line reported in The Republican of a few days ago, and was a clear cut forcible and ap- pealing presentation of the great need of the world in being rid of the liquor l traffic. The acoustic properties of the i hall are not of the best, but even with l this disadvantage there was not dull moment for those who listened to the i famous American.
