Volunteers of America Hold State
Drive Saturday May 9th

The Volunteers of America, a ma
tional organization founded by Mrs.
Maud Ballington Booth and General
Booth, will put on Tag" Day
drive lasting one day for the 9Th of
May. The funds secured thru the
sale OF tags will be used for relief
work in this country among the
needy women and children.
In many cities in Arizona this
drive has already been held and in
each place the cooperation with
this organization has been splendid
They are now maintaining SO
homes in this country for needy
children, fallen girls, unemployed
temporary, and Home Halls for
prisoners after they have been dis
charged from the State and Federal
prisons. These latter care for the
men until the prison pallor wears
off and their hair which has been
shaved marking them as one time
convicts, begins to grow In few
months they are able to work and
the Volunteers of America gets
work for them. In the twenty-sev-
en- years. that the Volunteers of
America have been in existence they
been saved for society over 100000
of these discharged prisoners; that
is to say, 100000 have made good
thru the timely assistance of this
organization and have never return
ed to prison.
1t is expected that the young peo-
pie will take part here in the sale
of tags, as they have done in other
places. 81 Aa

TELEPHONES

In the annual report of the Amer
ican Telephone and Telepragh COM
pany, President H. B. Thayer saws:
"fortyfive years after the invention
of the telephone Europe has only
one telephone to each 100 of the
population, while the United States.
ulation of the world. has two-thirds
of the world'sl telephones"
In American communities, the tel
ephone has come to occupy a posi-
ton that is regarded as essential.
Without a telephone in its home, or
nearby in another home or store,
the average American family in cit
les and towns would feel lost The
telephone is needed to call the doc
tor, the ambulance, the police or the
fire department, to order medicines,
groceries, fuel and merchandise, to
get inofrmation about trains, and
other things, to makesocial and bus
mess engagements and to talk to
ones friends.
To business, also, the telephone is
indispensable. MercantS and other
business men would make fewer
sales if there were no telephones
Without telephones the municipal
county, state and national officials
would be hampered in carrying on
their duties.
Newspapers would be crippled in
gathering news if there were no tel
ephoneS. The transmission of i'm,
portant items to the newspaper Of
feed would be delayed and the peo-
pie would receive many news items
later than now.
The average American probably
has not considered the great depen-
dence of the American cities and
towns upon the telephone and the
dependence of many rural commun-
tiles upon it. 1t would be brought
home to him forcibly if all the
American telephones should sudden
ly and simultaneously cease to func-
ton. He would then know some
thing about the difference between
which make our American progress
and those which are partly respons-
ible for the backwardness of foreign
people.-Oklohoma

Stunq But Rewarded.

Patrons of Long Island telephone
line complained of buzzing on the
wires and a trouble hunter was sent
out to locate the difficulty. He To-
Gated 1t and he did something else,
for he found that a swarm of bees
had made a hive in the connection
box on a telephone pole. The trouble
hunter worked for hours and finally
routed the bees with fire extinguish-
er. He was badly stung, but he was
rewarded by ten pounds of honey
stored in the connection box.

Eddie Knew!

Eddie is high school freshie. He
is enthusiastic over sports, and, with
his father, has witnessed practically
all of the wrestling matches held re-
Gently in Indianapolis. His teacher
had urged the pupils to attend at
least one of the Shakespearean plays
scheduled at local theater, and
finally asked whether any of the pu-
pills had ever seen Robert Mantell.
"Yes," put in Eddie without mo-
ments hesitation, as he recalled the
name of AL Mantell, a noted wrestler
81 saw him wrestle Jack Reynolds"
The sally was good for big laugh
at his expense.-Indianapo News.

Reasonable Statement.

The creator of strange new beauty
has a right to demand so much (at-
tention) from anybody who under
takes to pronounce judgment. Is 1t
too much to askl l don't imagine, for
example, that my own flair for strange
new beauty is special and extraordi-
nary, a thing that could not be culti-
waited by any lover of old familiar
beauty who honestly desires to culti
vate it. For beauty is ageless, eternal
and one, recognizable under all diff
ferences of form.-Batimore Ameri-
can.

"HOW COME z,

The newspapers up the other end
of the county have been naming a
number of candidates for county
Offices but Winslow don't seem to
get much mention. Bill Kelly is
pointed out as a possible candidate
for the sheriff's office. r. c. Cres-
well appears likely as a democratic
candidate to succeed himself on the
board of supervisors. Bill crozier
is prompted as a possible democrat
ic candidate for supervisor. "How
Comes?' We know not. Just how
he got into the democratic ranks
is not explained but we guess we
will find out about primary election
time. 1t might be good plan to
get on all the tickets. Winslow with
all it's population and property val
ues does seem quite agreeable to
let the other end of the county have
all the Jobs.

Some far-seeing and logical stotis-

country is not determined so much by
number OF babies born as by the num-
Der of babies which survive the first
year of life and grow up. Looked at
from that angle England is not doing
so badly in this all important matter.
During the month OF August II is
pointed out that the death rate OF
children under one year Of age was
only Al per 1000 births. In 1918
London's rate for the same period was
