THE KISS

A kiss is a peculiar proposition. OF
no use to one. yet absolute bliss to
two. The small boy gets it for moth
ing; the young man has to steal it
and the old man has to buy it. The
baby's right, the lovers privilege, the
hypocrite's mask; to a young girl
faith; to a married woman hope; to
an old maid charity.

Returned From Phoenix.

Supervisor, w. H. Gibbons,
 who has Eeen at Phoenix attend ing the road conference, returned
 home Sunday eveing. Owing to the very muddy condition of the road Saturday and the heavy snow Sunday morning, the mail car could get no farther than Hunt, MT. Gibbons was obliged to ride from Hunt to St. Johns on horseback. w. H. says there were 223 delegates at the conference and that every county in the state, with the exception of Apache, had large delegation there. There were only four from this county, they were Gustav Beck CT, w. H. Gibbons, E. I. Whiting and H. P. Burk. Mir. Gibbons speaks very highly of the dele gates and the conference in gen. eral, says he never met with a finer set of men and that every one seemed to be enthused and were in favor of a universal good read system for Arizona.
 MT. Gibbons also reports hav- ing seen J. L. Danley while in Phoenix, he says the warm cli- mate seems to be doing wonders for him and that he will soon be able to return home.

Three-Fourths May Perish

One months delay in sending relief to the Near East means 10000 deaths, this number in- creasing as the colder months of winter draw on, says William S. Nelson, American Consular Agt. at Tripoi, Syria, and Charles s. Dana, American Relief executive at Constantinople last year. The same cabIegram also states that not more than one-fourth of the Armenian population will survive until next harvest with present relief resources.

Help For Near East
Flour Sold in id-Ocean

Herbert Hoover sold the Amer
 ican Committee for Relief in the Near East seven thousand tons of flour, the four at the time of the sale being on a ship in the Medi- terranean. The price of the car go was $1, 100000, and immedi- ately on the closing of the bar gain, the Relief Committee order ed the ship by wireless to head at once for Constantinople, from which point the flour will be dis tributed to the starving districts in Armenia, Syria, and other Near Eastern countries. This, however, say relief workers is only drop in the bucket as com- pared with the widespread need of these people, and several more thousand tons of provisions must be sent to drive starvation out of Western Asia.

Last Sunday morning when the good people awoke from their slumbers they were surprised to find that at least 12 inches of snow had fallen during the night. Old timers here say that it is the heaviest snow fall they have seen in years. With the slush and mud still on the ground from the last storm, we may look for some real Arizona mud when this snow goes off.

That Terrible Headache

Do you have periodic attacks of headache accompanied by sick ness of the stomach or vomiting,

Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get a rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
 This preparation has been in use for many years and it's value full ly proven. No matter what rem edy you use, however, care must
 be taken not to contract a second cold before you have recovered from the first one, and there is serious danger of this. A man of middle age or older should go to bed and stay in bed until fully recovered. It is better to stay in bed three days at the start than three weeks later on. Adv.

It Is Up To Us

It is up to the private generosi- ty in America to aid the starving countries of the Near East which have been oppressed by the Turk, says a cablegram from Herbert Hoover. In spite of the relief program being worked out by the Interallied World Relief Commit tee and the appropriation for food, the salvation of Armenia. Syria, and Aisa Minor must come from America, until these coun- tries have a real political status and become self-supporting.

German Ships Used For Relief

Secretary Daniels has lent two former German ships, now the U. s. naval transports Mercurius and Pensacola, to the American Committee for Relief in the Near East. One has already sailed with 150 male relief workers, five million yards of khaki cloth. and food, clothing and agricultural supplies for the Armenians, Syri- ans, and other war sufferers in in the Near East. Part of the funds obtained from the Armen- ian-Syrian Relief Campaign will be used for equipping a second relief ship to sail the middle of February.

Dreadful Cough Cured

A severe cold is often followed by a rough cough for which Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has proven especially valuable. Mrs. F. w. Olsen. Marysville, Mo, writes: About two years ago my little boy Jean caught a severe cold and coughed dread fully for days. I tried a number of cough medicines but nothing did him any good until I gave him Chamberla;n's Cough Reme- dy. It relieved his cough right away and before he had finished taking one bottle he was cured. 1 think it is just fine for children.

News Items From
 Navajo County
From Holbrook Tribune.


 Good roads, and especially the
 maintenance and improvement of the Old Trail Highway across northern Arizona, so that trans continental tourists will continue to come this way in increasing numbers, is receiving special at tention of the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce. Effort is also be- ing directed to the improvement of the road between Holbrook and St. Johns. It is believed that government and state aid to the extent of $3O,OOO is practically assured for this project, the same to be spent in improving four miles of the road where 1t goes through the most beautiful part of the Petrifed Forest. With the improvement of this road, more tourists will make Holbrook their headquarters.
 Supervisor John A. Freeman says that the road recently con- sUructed between Snowflake and St. Johns has been finished with the exception of a couple of bridges-that part within Nav ajo county. There is a short dis tance in Apache county which | that county will have to attend to. Gustav Becker, Apache county engineer, made an inspec- tion of the road and pronounced it an excellent piece of work. Doubtless the eastern end in Apa- che will soon be constructed.
 Among the important happen ings of the week that are worthy of mention is the fact that Clerk of the Court Lloyd c. Henning is the father of an 83-pound boy, born to Mrs. Henning at Phoenix at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning. Both mother and son are doing nicely and Lloyd is generously setting up" the cigars to his friends in honor of the event.
 Word has been received from J. W. Richards, representative to the legislature from Navajo coun- 5y, to the effect that it is quite likely that the legislature will pass the bill to cover the expense incurred in the recent influenza ;courge in this county. The bill was introduced by our represent ative.

NORMAL TEMPERATURE Is
GREAT HELP TO STOCkMEN

Phoenix, Ariz., April 2.-Nearly
normal temperature during the past
week made 1t the most favorable
period for livestock since the advent
of cold weather, according to the
range report of the weather bureau
issued today.
Stockmen are receiving many en-
couraging REPORTS. says the bureaus
summary, from points as far north as
central Mohave and Apache counties
where the grass has started.
The range also is said to be inn
proving in the vicinity of Prescott
and Williams. Pastures in the south
ern sections, particularly in the
vicinity of Globe Tucson, Douglas
and Nogales, show better conditions.
Warmer weather has helped both the
stock and the ranges in western New
Mexico.
The report states that new records
for cold weather were established in
November, January, February and
March for many places in the range
districts and even under the most
favorable condition of feed and pro-
tection livestock suffered greatly
from unusually low temperatures"

Henry Hollis Wisdom.

A man who seems to me very I'M
usual is Henry Holt. the New York
publisher. | do not know him;
only know of him. but reports coming
to me are excellent. This man is not
only the head of large and prosper
Gus business establishment, but he IL
one of the best writer's in New York.
He is a lover and patron of art; a uni
versty graduate, as well as graduate
of the school of experience. He is
nearly 80 years old, and still takes an
active and intelligent interest in life.
He is the editor and publisher Of one
of the most unusual publications in
this country: The Unpopular Review.
Henry Holt writes a good deal of its
contents, and there are few citizens
of Grub street who are equally good
writer's. Sane, clean, intelligent.
worthy in every way, he IS certainly
one of our most credtable Americans.
He yecently wrote:
There are afloat such an unprece-
dented number of agreeable fallaCies,
that there is great need for the dis
semination of some dsagreeable
truths. and the Review expects to do
enough of that to make it unpopular
among that large majority of the pub
lie which is fond of agreeable falla-
cies. The chief ones are among the
taXpaying class, that they can afford
to be Indifferent to the other class;
and, among too many of both classes,
vague notions that something can be
had for nothing; that it is unnecessary
to better the man in order permanent
~ to better his estate; that the march
of progress should be timed to the
pace of the slowest: that policies can
rise higher than their sources; and
that wisdom can be attained by the
counting of noses. As fast as these
fallaci5s can be removed. so fast will
the nontaxpayers tend to become tax
payers and the gulf between the two
classes to close. Upon that process
depends the economy and stability of
the republic"
That IS the unmistakable work of q
sage. If any writer in any of the 9th
err reviews has written an equally SEN
sible and pertinent thing, I have not
seen it.-E W. Howe's Monthly.
