Jimmy Coon and His Friends
The Adventures of the Little People of
the Great Forest n
A Wonderful Escape.

You never in your life saw such
scampering by the Wood Folk, as be-
fore that leaping Fire in. the Great
Forest. All the little people of the
Great Wood. who lived near, saw the
fire, and they escaped, because they
you remember that the Beavers were
sound asleep in their little houses of
wood. And the Great Forest Fire was
coming nearer and nearer to the
Beavers houses every moment.
It certainly did look as if the Bea-
vers would lose their lives in the
Great Fire! There was no one to wake
them from their sound sleep, and the
flames now were leaping in the dry
And soon the sparks fell on the dry
roofs of the Beavers houses; and the
roofs were now on fire! =
But no one could see anything of
any of the Beavers. Soon the flames
had burnt up every house in Beaver
Dam Village, and nothing was left
but a mass Of flames. And soon all the
trees, and all the grass on the west
bide of big Mirror Pond were burned
up, and nothing but ruins and black
ness was left.
And then that great Forest Fire
worked around both ends of Mirror
Pond, and set fire to the trees and the
Meadows on the other side of the
Pond; and soon all the trees and the
Meadows on the east side Of the Pond
were ruined, too.
And instead of Green Forests and
Green Meadows, there was one vast
stretch of black logs, and black smok-
ing grass. It was a very black and
dark picture. And Beaver Dam Viii
lage was ruineds and every little house
was ruined.
Everyone thought that all the Beas
vers were burnt up in their houses.
But suddenly little brown heads were
seen swimming in the big Pond; and
soon it was discovered that every
Beaver and all the little Beavers were
safe and sound.
How dig they possibly save their

lives in such an awful fire, when they
were sound asleep, and their houses
burned up so quickly? It was this
way: Father Beaver always sleeps
with one ear open. Gle has done that
wonderful trick for years.. And he
heard the sparks Of the fire burning
the roof Of their house; and he gave
tremendous signal of danger,
with his strong tail, on the floor of
the house. and it echoed in every
rbed-room; and all the Beavers awoke,
and dived out Of their beds, down the
cellar stairs, into the deep water in
the cellar; and they all wan out of
the back cellar door, and out into the
Big Pond.
And they all gave the danger sig
nails with their powerful tails, and this
noise woke up the Beavers in the
other little houses in the Village; and
all reached the Pond by diving into
their cellars and swimming under
water.

Of Interest To Women
SOLDIERS WANT
PRACTICAL BOOKS

Ther are mighty Few SOI0leTS
who want to read aboutYthe war or
military subjects now; their thoughts
have turned to their before-the-war
Jobs" said the librarian at the base
hospital at Camp Dix. Motorcycles
are the only things I want to read
about said boy to me. I handed
out Pages book on motorcycles. I
kin almost hear the wind whiz by me
again when I read that book he said
wistfully later"
Salesmanship, bee-culture, engi-
neering, landscape gardening, boxing,
educational methods and watchmak-.
ing are a few Of the subjects asked
for by ~convalescent soldiers from the
stocks of books handled by the Amer
ican Library association, which is
urging readers all over the country to
take the books they have found in
teresting to public libraries which
will send them to camps and military
hospitals.
The librarian at the Camp Dix base
hospital, for example, goes daily
among the wards. With the aid Of an
orderly, she pushes what the boys
call for travelling newsstand.2 This
is a hospital litter Communicated into
A. L. A. service. This, the Chinese
orderly has transformed into a three
shelf truck.
Here is what may be found in a
hospital melting pot:
A young Syrian silk worker, who
can read only his native language, has
as cot neighbors a spanish-reading
Cuban and a Lithuanian miner from
Pennsylvania. The face of a stolid
Turkish lad, who reads only modern
Greek, CLEANS when he gets Dumas
"Mohicans of Paris" translated into
his beloved Greek.
Next a graduate of Harvard chooses
the New Republic for his own read
ing and calls the librarians attention
to a New Mexican Indian in the next
bed who can't read at all but likes to
look at pictures. A Russian insurance
English but longs for 1bsen's plays in
Russian and is delighted when one is
handed to him.
The American Library association
buys many books, but books that are
popular wear out. To make the asso-
ciation's fund stretch as far as pos
sible, the public is asked to give books
that have afforded them recreation to
the sick soldiers and sailors and to
the men who are having tedious days
in camps waiting for Rehabilitation.
Miss Mary Moore was elected presi-
dent Of the junior auxiliary of st.

WATER ELECTION MAY BE PUT
 ON, JANUARY

Prescott's proposed city water bonds will be called at the next meet ing of the common council on De- cember l, according to an announce ment at the office of the city clerk yesterday.
 The proposed issue was called for an election once before, but deferred on account of legal technioalities. The law provides for an election about one month after the date the election is formally announced by the council
 As it stood before, and as 1t will probably be proposed to the people some time early in January, the city wants to spend $35O,000 on two i1n- mensely important propositions, cov- ering the entire field of city water supply Part of the money is to be devoted to the construction of reser- voirs and pipe lines to develop water supply adequate for city of 10000 persons. The balance is to be spent in replacing the old, leaky and made quate distribution system with a new system of larger cast iron water mais, especially tnhroughout the cen tral part of Prescott.
 Surveys are complete, and it is un- derstood that legal matters connected with the proposed issue and its cx- penditures have been finished All that remains is to secure the fund and begin construction. It is contemplat- ed among other things, to abandon the Del Rio pumping plant and pipe line as a city project, thus saving a considerable monthly sum in ,operat- ing costs and plant depreciation. It IS understood that the city will avail itself of the possible gravity system, bringing in large supplies of water from the watershed to the south and located in Ban@ and other creeks this side of the divide between Gran its and the Hassayampa.

HURT: CRASH WITH AN
 AUTOMOBILE

Sunday evening at about / o'clock an unfortunate automobile accident occurred at the dummy where Gurley intersects Montezuma street, in which stranger named Haggeett was se- verely but not seriously injured by being run into. The driver of the taxi stated, and his version seemed to have been corroborated by quite a number of people, that when he saw the man crossing the street from the St. Michael to Kastner's corner in a diagonal manner he blew the horn repeatedly, and slowed down by put ting on the brakes as he approached the point to turn into Montezuma street from Gurley, where the trouble followed. Haggeett was hit and fell to the ground, being rendered uncon- SciOus for several minutes.
 He was then removed to Mercy hospital where the extent of his in Juries was further aScertained. His right arm was broken, and one of his ears was nearly severed, while it is believed he is internally hurt.
