meaning that was not enough.
The Indian put out more; still the
boy shook his head, and more
blankets were shown until the
boy was completely satisfied, and
he loaded them on the extra
horse he had brought along.
Happily he rode to his fathers
headquarters and called for his
father to come out and see the
excellent bargain he had made.
Having spread the blankets out
for his fathers inspection, Ham
bin did not say word, but be-
gan making two piles of these
blankets, one small one and the
other a large one. Then he called
for the horse and began loading
the large pile of blankets back
on the horse, saying to the boy,
Son, take this lot of blankets
back TO the Navajo. You got the
better of him. The boy carried
the major part of the blankets to
the Indians's hogan and said,
My father said | got too many
blankets, and sent these back. .
Il knew he would " said the
Navajo. You know Jacob Ham
bin is not only your father but
our father as well. +"
1t was this confidence that gave
the Indians the friendly spirit
toward the Arizona pi neers.

Hamblin answered that he was
sorry they would thus steal the

their word of honor that they

chief explained that these boys

some of the colonists at Sunset

Of MORMONS
IN ARIZONA

Few books of fiction, and no
books of history, portray in
words a more interesting, fasci-
mating depletion of early days
than Col. McClintock's Mormon
Settlement in Arizona. " 1t is
one of the official histories of the
ttate, and published at the states
expense. Comments OF the high
character of the work comes from
all the leading magazines of tie
nation. The work is fair and the
truth is graphically told in the
ColonePs masterful way. The
work illustrates the saying Truth
iystranger than fiction. ("
The history begins with the
journey of the Mormon Battalion
in 1886. through Arizona from
Tucson, via Sacaton and the Gila
river to California. Then comes
that worthy missionary to the
indians. Jacob Hamblin, in the
early SOS, who by his wise, kind
and honest way with the Indians,
made the Navajos and Moquis

Idaho and Utah who came after.

will of the Indians was the saw

The first important settlements
were made on the Muddy River,
section of country taken over
into Nevada afterward. Then
the settlements on the Little Col
orado, in Apache and Navajo
counties. We're made. Four of
these were established by Presi
dent Brigham Young to try out
the experiment of a united order,
where all put their possessions
/ iuto common fund. Lot Smith,
a wonderful character, was in
charge of one settlement. After
a few years, the experiment was
voted by the members to be dis
continued and the original capi-
tai invested and a fair profit was
distributed among the Saints.
Lot Smith later moved to Nor

ing on a very extensive scale.

Mesa was first settled in 1877
to 1879, first as missionary base
to the Indians. These early Nor

being a thrifty, sturdy class,
they cleaned out the prehistoric
canals, and turned the waters of

making the desert to blossom

HONORS FOR AN UNKNOWN
HERO


On the nineth day of Nov
ember, on the catafalque where
once reposed the bodies of LIN
coin, Garfield and Mckinley mar
tyred presidents of the great
nation, under the golden dome OF
our national capitol, there will be
placed the body of an "un
known" soldier who lost his life
ON the battlefield of France,
fighting beneath the Stars and
Stripes to make the world safe
for democracy, a fit place in
which to live,
Two great nations have joined
hands ard hearts in the beau'l-
full and impressive ceremonies
which mark the return oil this
"unknown" hero to the shores
of his beloved land, to find his
long home in beautiful Arlington
row on row, the soldiers OF
other days lie beneath the green
sward of the heights thatoyer'
took Americas capital.
1t is beautiful thing which
France and America are golngto
do, this paying OF high tribute
to one who, though so obscure
that there is none to claim him
laid down his precious life fol
the liberty of others, Every
honor which France could be
stow is to lavished on the body OF
this unknown +" soldier.
Simple but impressive services
will mark the departure from
our sister republic beyond tbs
seas. and great men will vie t(
do homage to the humble here
who is no more. And when the
body reaches America and is
borne by loving hands to Its
place of honor in the capital al
Washington, every mark OF re.
spectful tribute will feature the
solemn occasion.
1t is right that this should bf
as it is. In the tribute OF 8
nation to this unknown" here
there is given expression to {
beautiful and holy sentiment
In it there is embodied all that is
best of patriotism, national pride
and national gratitude to those
who entered the war and pait
the supreme sacrifice.
While the hero whose body
has been chosen for thes repre-
sentative hornors must go dowr
in the records as unknown" it il
well to reflect that there was
a time, before he fell in battle
over there, when he was knowr
and loved. Perhaps he was The
only son of his widowed mother
or the mainstay of his aged father
in his declining years. Who may
say how high a heart beats IL
his bt east or to what heights his
ambitious dreams aspired ? May
be his sorrowing sweetheart
waits and longs for him never Il
know that it is her lover whC
lies in the grave at Arlington
beneath the stone bearing the
the word Unknown"
And yet it may be that there
was left none to mourn him. tina
word of his fate would have
brought tears of sorrow to an.
cheek, or sadness to any heart
Be that as it may, his was a sold
ier'sdeath, his a hero's burial, ant
his memory two great nations
to pay highest honor and tribute
"Soft hands clutch at the bride rein
Slipping the spur from the boote
heel,
.Tenderest voices call Turn againl"
Red lips tarnish the scabbarded stee
High hopes die on the warm hearth

Another matter of interest relates to a
club trip to Augusta, to be taken in Au-
gust or September by club members who
have their projects up to date. The trip
will be made in automobiles. E. C. Mar
tin of Liberty was the first to suggest
such trip. He said be believed that the
average boy and girl care more for the
trip to Belfast when the county contest
is held than they do for all the prizes
awarded. Doubtless they would be great
lv interested in trip of the clubs to the
State capital, it taking the place of the
annual field day. He thought that in his
town many automobile owners would be
glad to give free use of their motors and
their days time for such good cause

to make its own arrangements for hand
hing the matter of transportation. This

What is Americanization?
BY Philip Davis, Educational Director Of
the United Americans of ~ aine.

by Philip Davis, Educational Director Of
the United Americans of Naine.
Americanization used to mean the fore.
igner's affair usually ''ten lessons in Eng
lish." We now regard the training in
English, or even the much desired ''frst'
and second" citizenship papers merely
the A. B. c. of American Citizenship.
Enlightened American communities are
now asking themselves: "What beside
formal teaching can we contribute to the
American ZatiOn of the strangers within
our midst? Moreover what can thew con.
tribute. to us2"
Italians, Armenians, Greeks, etc all
have important contributions to make.
Nor is the question: "Wnat is Ameri-
canization2" confined to the foreign born.
1t challenges the native born as well.
From the standpoint of "selllng" Ameri-
can to the foreigner It is now generally
recognized that the native born Ameri-
cans must themselves be ''sold." Owing
to sinister force of propaganda recent
iy unearthed, Americanization thus be
comes the greatest challenge facing eyerv
American today.
Fortunately, Americana alton has be-
come National function. The Federal
Government has special department
oeaung Win this question on Nation
wide basis. Many local communities are
equally aroused to the needs of Ameri-
canization.
The reasons are obvious. So far as the
State of Maine is concerned, it has
population of seven hundred sixty eight
thousand. One hundred and fifteen thous-
and are foreign-born. Counting the na-
tlve-born of foreign parentage, two out
OF every three persons in Maine are either
immigrants themselves or the children of
immigrants.
More over, twenty five thousand per-
sons, ten years of age and over are litter
ate. Of these, fifteen thousand are fore
ign born. Clearly, the problem of Amer
icanizaton in Maine is State, as well as
a Federal matter.
So far as the commodities are concern
ed, the problem is greatest in the chief
cities of the State, such as Portland,
Lewiston, Biddeford, Rumford, etc. In
the last analysis, therefore, it is up to
each community to survey and solve its
own problem with all the help that the
State and the National Government can
give. Back of each community are it's
leaders and thinkers, its ablest men and
women, who are challenged to contrib
ute nightly that the spirit of America
shall become the great living force in |
our sorely stricken world.
