tablished branch of the national or

tain Harry W. Burton in charge and
Captain and Mrs. Walter T.. Doweli

follows:
"The Volunteers of America isnot
an imitation of, nor has it any CON-
nection with any other organization
of whatever name. This is an
American organization, incorporated

to its record of work among the un-
fortunates, both in and out of prison.
The Volunteer Prison League founded
by Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth has
helped hundreds of thousands of un-
fortunate inmates of the penal insti-
tutions of the United States as well
as their families during the nearly
rs years Of its existence.
I'VE are here in Phoenix to be help
full in any possible way as a religious
and charity organization, trying to
do our part in the way OF helping
the unfortunates. We are arranging
to open a branch of our Prison
League at Florence with the eoopera-
| tion of the governor and the prison
commission. Our Mission hall is at
1S41z West Washington street and
our present open air stand is on the
west side Of court house square. In
til we can get our office arranged,
the commanding officer can be
reached at the Denver Hotel, or By
addressing post office box 1885. Any
case of distress not now being cared
| for will be promptly attended to by
so addressing
"As we do not put on drives we
/ are calling personally on the people
| of the city, making it as clear as
humanity possible by distinctive
uniform and explanation that we
have no connections with other organ-
izations. Captain and Mrs. Dowell are
calling with a letter from the COM
manding officer, and Captain Bur-
| ton is also calling. These are our
! only solicitors, and we ask your kind
consideration. We are pleased to
| show our books to any one inter-
| ested, showing just what is done
| with all money received
/ THE Volunteer work has been en-
| dorsed by Presidents Roosevelt, Will
son and Harding as well as every
| member of the present cabinet, and
j state and city officials all over the

Eager, Arizona. During the first
seven days of April snow fell almost
continuously. but settled fast.
March was an unusually stormy
month and snow accumulated to the
greatest depth in the last six years,
excepting in 1919. On the Tonic wa
tershed. including an area of 400
square miles. the snow will average
foot in depth. while on Mt. Ord,
