SHOPS OF PRESCOTT
BY Mrs. L. V. Hines

It's pelasing to come in contact with
the merchants and business people
of Prescott Nearly all of the stores
have decorated their windows and
have beautiful displays in Xmas Of
ferings.
The Yavapai Chamber of Commerce,
an organization made up largely of
the business men of Prescott and vi
cinity, is doing much to upbuild the
county.
More visits should be made to Whip
pie Barracks, and courtesy shown our
heroic veterans. The post exchange
unexcelled by any of the stores in the
down town of Prescott has general
merchandise, beautiful showing in
novelties, and a lovely variety of
hand work made by patients. Send
some of your folks back home a
piece of their work and help the post
exchange to grow.
1t is not the amount of money we
earn that makes us boastful, but it is
what we have on deposit that talks.
The Commercial Trust and Savings
Bank offers you every protection anC
inducement. Start an account ant
guard the pennies and the dollars
will roll in the right channel.

Broadly speaking. our activities
group themselves under two heads
recreation and relief.
The phase of our recreational pro-
gram which we wish particularly to
stress is not the most spectacular side
of the work. BY this I mean that our
chief interest is to make this build
ing truly a social center for the pat
tents. In this connection we strive to
keep the house clean, cheerful and
attractive at all times. We can u.s.
usually get an abundance of wild
flowers and on chilly days the fire
places are alight. Desks with all nee
essary writing materials are always
at hand. A Victrola with scores of
records and a piano are at the dis
posal of the men. Through the kind
ness of the hospital librarian news
paper AoOh Win PQPCAO
all the chief cities of the United States
has been provided. Two pool tables
are kept busy most of the day and
there are tables for card games,
checkers, chess and other amusement
Moving picture shows are held in
the house on Sunday, Tuesday and
Friday nights. Although each show
is produced twice-once at 5:45 p. m
and again at 7:9O p. m.-we are still
unable adequately to care for the
crowd. On Monday nights we take
our small portable cinema machine
to Ward Ten and put on a movie
show for the bed-ridden patients.
We hold an entertainment of some
kind in the house each Thursday even
ing. This is sometimes a musical
program put on by Prescott people,
and again is a card party We try
to get young women out from town to
participate in these affairs and we
sometimes get as many as fifty to at
tend. An effort is made TO provide re-
freshments which the men will not get
at the hospital, such as homemade
cookies, candies or pies. We try to
vary the program as much as is pos
sible in this isolated community
where our ingenuity is taxed to the
limit to keep alive variety and inter-
est.
In this connection the work of the
hospital librarian should be mention
ed, since the library is in our build
ing and is an allied activity. The
Public Health Service maintains here
a head librarian and one assistant.
They have been assigned two rooms
in our building, one of which serves
as an office and reference room, and
the other as a reading room. In the
morning books and magazines are
taken to the wards where there are
bedridden patients. A schedule has
been worked out whereby wards one
to five inclusive, and ten to twelve
inclusive are visited with books. pa
pers and magazines three times each
week. The total number of volumes
in the library is 2500, of which 1000
are non-fiction and 1900 fiction. Ad-
ditional books of which no accounting

NEW MAGAZINE ANNOUNCED

"A new mOntily magazine, The La
Dor Age, was announced for the near
future after meeting of socialist and
labor forces recently held in New
York City. The new magazine, which
is to take the place of the Socialist
Review, will be published by the Labor
Publication Society. The officers Of
the new society are: President. James
III. Maurer; Vice-Presidents, Florence
Kelley and Joseph Schlossberg; Treas
urer, Abraham Baroff; Secretary, Har-
ny w. Ladder; Chairman of Board of
Directors, Herman Defrem.
The following policy was adopted
as the policy Of The Labor Age:
"The Labor Age believes that the
goal of the labor movement lies in the
development of system of production
for service instead of for private pro-
fit. 1t believes that this is to be at
tanned through social ownership and
democratic management of industry.
AS paths to this goal, lhe LABOR
Age favors the organization and
strengthening of labor of the workers
by hand and brain on the economic
field, through labor unions and coop
erative enterprises; on the political
field, through independent political
movements; on the educational field,
through workers educational efforts.
"The Labor Age will support all ef-
forts on the part of labor to develop
the solidarity of the workers within the
nation and with all other nations, to
the end that the exploitation of class
by class may cease and that labor may
come into its own.

PROPER NUTRITION ESSEN
TIAL TO PLANT AND MAN

Knowing that nitrogen, phosphorus,
potash and lime are vitality necessary
soil elements for the production Of
crops, some experiments have been
tried with the oat-plant to observe
what would be the effect on its growth
when one of these elements had been
entirely removed.
In each experiment the soil was
first chemically sterilized, so that no
fertilizing substance remained. and
then were added all but one Of the nee
essary elements.
In one case, where calcium was left
out, the oat-plant grew four leaves and
stopped.
In another case, where potash was
withheld, the result was much the same
two or three delicate leaves, but no
more.
In the third experiment, the oat-
plant received no phosphorus. As soon
as the phosphoric acid stored up in
the seed had been utilized. the plant
ceased to grow, and after a few weeks
died of phosphorus starvation.
In the absence of nitrogen, the oat-
plant drew on its limited supply in the
seed; but as soon as this was used up,
the lower and smaller leaves gradually
began to die down from the tips, leav-
ing only two leaves alive. The plant
struggled along about nine weeks. MAX
| ing only about six and one-half inches
growth.
Just at the critical time, when the
plant was dying Of nitrogen starvation,
few milligrams Of calcium nitrate
were given. In thirty-six hours, the
plant showed signs of renewed life.
The leaves assumed deeper green,
new growth was begun. and finally
four seeds were produced.
Just as a plant suffers when denied
! the necessary food. so man also lacks
health, vim, and mental power when
limited to food that is lacking in one
of the essential elements he requires
for fully roundabout manhood and en-
ergetic personality.
The manifestation of intelligence in
man is dependent upon the presence of
an adequate supply of phosphorus in
his brain, either derived from plant
or flesh food. A properly balanced
diet should be the aim, not simply to
tickle the palate.

CLEAN UP WEEK
BEGINS JUNE 9Th


Mayor Morris and the city board
of health, also the Boy Scouts Of Lees
vile, will cooperate with one another
to make Leesville a cleaner and a
healthier place to live in.
They have entered into compact
to kill disease and clean up mosquito
breeding places around the city, but
they must depend upon the citizens
as whole to do their share to rout out
the common enemies.
Three specifics will be used in the
campaign. First, the citizens are call
ed upon to cut the weeds on their pre-
misses. Second. to collect the tin cans
in recepticles. Third, to pickk up all
loose paper and trash.
-"If you clean up. your neighbor will
clean up" is the slogan, and every re-
spectacle and clean citizen will abide
by the aims Of the boy scouts, who will
pass around at the end of the week and
collect the rubbish.
The campaign has been set for the
week of June 9th.

F." HATS what you want, and you
can have it by taking advantage
\ of the splendid chance now ex-
tended to you by the Llano Cooper
ative Colony. We are just paying for
1000 more acres of'land this month,
and are now getting ready to raise e
nough cash to pay for the other l5,-
600 acres that we have contracted for,
so that we may have enough of real
estate foundation for large-size CO.
operative colony-one that can carry
on the greatest variety of productive
industries, so as to be independent of
outside supplies to the utmost. We
have demonstrated that workingmen
can work together in peace and con-
cord for themselves, and in that way
reap the full product of their labor
and enjoy a better and more delightful
and profitable social life than has ever
before fallen to their share. Our CO.
operators own their own jobs, and
their own souls. too, you bet; and 1t
has lifted them on plane of self-con-
fidence. self-respect, and equanimity
Of mind that has to be experienced to
be appreciated.
Here is an opportunity that never
has been presented before. Mental
freedom, production according to the
best methods of modern technic and
enjoyment of every thing that the re-
sources of the Colony afford.
Here we are successfully working
out the problem of social economy
and fellowship and find that mutual
aid, knowledge, and mutual respect
are entirely adequate for the purpose.
When working for capitalists you
have to get along with one another.
and when your own interests demand
it, there is even a still stronger induce
ment for you to do so.
But if you prefer to farm on your
own hook, but would like the advan-
tage of cooperative buying and sell
ing, you can also be accommodated.

A Sure Thing!

Tell us what you want, and we are
sure that you'll have a better chance
to accomplish it on our Colony lands
than anywhere else.
Our land at SIS an acre is the best
proposition you have ever been offer
ed. You can begin to plant some
thing almost any month in the year
that you may get here and have veg
etables fresh from the garden every
day in the year. Stock finds pasture
every month and takes care of itself,
so whatever line of agriculture or
stock growing you may choose to en-
gage in, this section of Louisiana Of
fers the best all-around chance in the
United States.
And, if at any time you get tired of
padding your own canoe, there is
always an opportunity open to you to
turn your land and Improvements in
for a membership and enjoy the adj
vantages of full and complete cooper
alton.
All the existing conditions, institu-
tions and customs of production and
distribution have been gradually initi-
ated and developed through the agen-
cy and instrumentality of men; and
if we want something better, bring a.
bout improvement, we will have to go
and bring it about by our own efforts.
The Cooperative Commonwealth
will not drop down full-grown from the
skies; on the contrary. sometime. some
where, people will have to take off
their coats and go to work and make
a beginning.
And that's just exactly what we are
doing and accomplishing here.
Come down. and. see the birth of the
new world the new form of human
association, from which all exploita-
ton has been eliminated and where
truth and right are the cardinal vir-
tues and where real justice obtains and
good fellowship reigns supreme.
