POINT THE WAY
The Statement of This Prescott Resident Will Interest Our
 Readers.

Our neighboring town, Prescott points the way in the words of one of its most respected citizens:
 Wm. Smith, blacksmith, Box 270 Prescott, Ariz.. says: My back was so lame I could hardly move and when 1 tried to bend over to shoe a horse, sharp pains would catch me. My kidneys did not act regularly and 1 was often annoyed by little spots, which seemed to float before my eyes. 1 was lame, stiff and sore all over when began using Doan's Kid ney Pills. In almost no time, Doan's regulated my kidneys and made me feel like a different man. ;"

HER VIEW IS PHILOSOPHICAL
With the Factory Girl, Her Occupa- tion, Good or Bad, Is a Matter
 of Comparison.

Factory work, more than any, thing up to the present moment, has brought out the fact that life from beginning to end is a matter of comparisons.
 The factory girl, from my short experience, is not fussing over what her job looks like compared with tea at the Biltmore. She is com- pairing it with the last job or with home; and it is either slightly bet ter or slightly worse than the last job or home. An outsider, a college graduate with a mission, investi- gates a factory and calls aloud to heaven: "Can such things be-? Why do women stay in such a placer"
 The factory girl, if she heard those anguished cries, would as like as not shrug her shoulders and re- mark: 'Ughl She shudda seen -'s factory where I worked a year agow Or: "Gosh What does she think persons goin' to do- sit home all day and scrub the kitchen? ?"
 And yet the fact remains that some things get too much even for a philosophical factory girls nerves. Whereat she merely walks out-if she has spunk enough. The labor turnover, from the point of view of production and efficiency, can well be a vital industrial concern. To the factory girl, it saves her life, likely as not.-Cernelia Stratton Parker. in Harper's Magazine.

One field of Red Cross service alone, that of assisting disabled veterans of the World War, entails expenditures S4,000,000 greater than the aggregate receipts of the Annual Roll Call of 1920, the American Red Cross an- nOunceS in a statement urging a wide spread increase in membership at the Annual Roll Call, November Il to 24 At the present time National Head quarters and the nationwide chain of Chapters of the Red Cross is spend ing approximately $1O,OOO,OOO annual ly for the relief of disabled ex-service men and their families, while the az gregate receipts from last years Roll Call were approximately $6,000000
 It is in the 2,2S9 of the 3,60O Red Cross Chapters which still are helping solve the veterans problem of adjust. ing himself to a normal civilian status that the greater part of the cost of this service is borne.

 AS Ever Expanding Problem
 That the problem of the disabled service man is corresponding and probably will not reach the peak be- fore 1925, is the assertion of well-in- formed Government officials and that 2,397 Red Cross Chapters regard it as their most important work is evi- dence that the expansion is in nowise confined to a particular section but is, on the contrary, nationwide.

there were 26,300 disabled service men in the 1892 United States Public Health Service, Contract and Govern ment Hospitals and Soldiers Homes, and that number is increasing at a rate of 1000 a month.
 Thousands of these DSen receiving medical treatment, compensation and vocational training from the Govern ment today, started their efforts to obtain them through the Red Cross Chapter. The Chapter, acting as the disabled mans agent in claims against the Government, informs the man as to the procedure necessary to gain for him that which is provided him by Federal statute. His applications for compensation, medical treatment and training are properly filed with the aid of the Red Cross Chapter.
 Many Forms of Assistance
 If there is delay before the mans claim is acted upon, the Red Cross Chapter lends the man money to meet the imperative needs of himself and his dependents
 Most vital to the mans gaining full benefit from the Governments care is keeping his mind free from worry about his home. Keeping the veterans fam fly from hardship of every kind and informing him of it's welfare is an. other province of the Chapter Free from fear on this score, the mans re- covery and advancement usually is rapid.
 Every month during the last year, the American Red Cross has given service of one kind or another to an average of 129,215 former service men and their families An indication of the extent of the faith repOsed in the Red Cross Chapter is to be found in the fact that there were 356,544 re- quests for friendly aid in the solution of personal problems.

jumped unhurt to the ground-and miracle of this journey was over.
 Trappers from Moose Factory picked the men up and mushed them over to The Hudson Bay Company.
 More than one Indian wished the pleasure to bring the glad news of de- liverance to an awaiting world. The nearest route from Moose Factory is about two hundred miles.
 I said-"And John is it true you made this trip in four days, and that you told them at the Station you would be at the clearing in four days Y' ''Yes," replied the Christian. T say this, because I know, I know its true, I-I know its gospel" True as gospel -I looked at the Indian and bowed my head. What higher tribute could we give truth?
 Those of you who know not do you feel a trip with dogs from Moose Fac tory to the railway a distance of two hundred or more miles, is merely to wrap yourself in your sleigh and yell "Hurrah" and the dogs pull your freight and yourself through? If so knock this poetry out of yourselves. A dog needs trail and a clean one to pull on, and its the men who go ahead with snowshoes and plod out this course which the dogs take up in the rear. When there is a clearing the dogs will take it up for you and you can mush along some six to seven miles an hour-but every moment at the best is hard work.
 We might walk in air and compli- ment the sun and the stars, but North ern Ontario ever brings you back to the realization of facts, that the safest way is the slowest, and the dog, sled, blazed tree, snowshoe, and in summer the canoe all mixed up in the sweat of the brow reaches only to the promised land.

To The Bay''-which has been the slogan of Northern Ontario's cry.
 Throughout the day of the fifteenth those courageous naval men fought out the battle against this strange realiza- tion. Needful materials which they had stored in the basket were found unnecessary when reckoned with life. A gigantic tug g-of-war was taking place between the earth and the air the earth Juggling the balloon to ground, and the basket being made lighter so that the air could sustain its freight through an unchartered, unwritten course, staggering through to a safety of mind rather than vision.
 Providence" we call it. Luck" !" says the pioneer. Fortune" says the prospector. God" says the pulpit. Salvation" said the occupants of that strange craft as the clearing at Moose was reached and the startled trappers were astonished at the New Scout.
 May I interrupt the progress of this story just a moment, certain writers state the Indians were so frightened that they fled to the bush yelling "ghost"--"God." would like to record that Anglican missions are es- abolished along the Bay, that during the recent financial drive to support the churches, the Bishop of Moosonee. who is located at Cochrane, said to me that in the neighborhood of fifty In- dians mushed from two hundred to three hundred miles from the Bay Stations to Cochrane to hand person ally to their bishop fifty dollars each to spread and uphold the religion of Christ.
 Now to continue-the clearing al Moose Factory was all too small and passed before the naval men could take advantage of this resource so that the miraculous journey must be continued The tall pines and spruce pointing spiral like to God presented but swords to cut to pieces the balloon and its occupants, and no landing could be made until open country appeared.
 The frozen surface of James Bay presented the last avenue of escape for exhausted mariner of the air, and this was ten long miles further north while the gas bag was barely able to support its burden longer.

 F'rantically the air men pulled the cord to open the vent and release the remaining gas. But the stubborn balloon, as frightened animal revolt ing at discipline refused to answer and seemed filled with malicious in- tent to fulfill it's mad flight in ar unwritten glory of disaster Fortu- nately the balloon swayed into a tree and left but shreds of its life, the basket tottering over, the air men

TENTATIVE ATHLETIC PROGRAM
 TO BE STAGED AT STATE FAIR

Ans well in the world of athletics The governor Is in accord with the plan for a program of athletics State Fair week. The governor is especially keen for an interstate football game between the University of Arizona and some good team from an outside state, the game to be played on Armistice day. Governor Campbell even went so far according to Pidgo Pinney as to offer a silver cup to the winning team.
 The state fair athletic program of ters an opportunity to develop Ari- zona's best athletes and place the uni Nersity and state schools before tho students and their parents and keep Arizona students in Arizona schools.
 Governor Campbell in his recent let Ter to Pinney. made his point clear in the following: The suggestions of- Tered are good and merit careful con- siderstion by the fair commission to the end that athletics shall flourish in the various educational institutions of tho state, and tho people be given the opportunity to witness such exhibitions when they gather together for the state fair

 Professor Ale Ray high school: 'It certainly is good to see someone show ing a little life in trying to promote athletics at the state fair, and if 1t is carried out there is sure to be a tremendous increase in the attendance next fall"
 George Judson, star tennis player of the salt River valley and a strong booster for athletic events of all kinds eff the fair commission would stage athletics stunts in the big arena across the track from the grandstand at the fair grounds. the people would be given some real redblooded thrills and We would all feel better for the interest taken by young and old.'

ONTARIO'S GREETING

Here is a graphic story of their arrival in that strange land, told by Vincent Woodbury, brother of Clarence Woodbury. Mir. Woodbury was on the ground having for some years been a resident of that rim of the world.)
 Mush if you will ye dogs of the air.
 But chance not an untamed land.
 It was the night of December four teenth and the Northland was raging in a nightmare, a fierce blizzard from The Height of Land was racing for James Bay.
 The thermometer was cold. The bushmen gathered around camp stoves in snug log cabins. The hungry wolves of the North slapped their tails between legs and barred angry teeth at the snapping wind. The moose had long since nibbled food from the tops of small trees and cuddled under bal sam to sleep. The frost was intro ducinE Santa, Claus in typical fashion; and those in comfort felt the ap- preaching Merry Christmas" Such was the earth in its vastness of waste. forbidding the unusual. obdurant all should obey.
 Yea, such was the night when the sky of the North carried a strange passenger. A misguided, silent, for lorn balloon attached to a little bas- ket containing three adventurous United States naval men, all swaying to an unknown port which harbored no goal.
 Now take any railway map of Canada and follow with me the night journey of this unpiloted ship. You will find North Bay on either the c. P. K. or Grand Trunk railway and this Junction is where the Temiskam- ing and Northern Ontario Railway winds it's snakelike course northward to Cochrane through a country where every ten miles is like another.
 It must have been eleven at night the aerial scout passed over Lake Nipissing and unknowingly saluted the lake towns of Cobalt, Haileybury and New Liskeard, unconsciously, disre- garding the largest and richest silver belt on the American continent.
 Perhaps midnight when the dark ob- ject scared over The Height of Land which separates the silver from the gold belt, and sentineled by the sturdy pioneer towns of Swastika, Kirkland Lake and Matheson.
