FATHER AND MOTHER

There are thousands of daises pure
and white,
And millions of stars a'shining bright,
And thousands of banners to us un-
furled
But only one mother in this wide
world.
There's thousands of flowers fragrant
and sweet,
We have many friends for us to greet,
There are thousands of joys to give
us mirth
But only one father upon the earth!
-Thelma Spicer, Finlayson.

The Vanishing Crouch
morris Tribune)

Probably folks aren't so much bet
ter than they used to be, but they are
certainly much more polite. Modern
business is done with smile, courtesy
and patience in the bank, store, pub
lie office or shop. It's getting so that
the only place a person may indulge
a. crouch at all is in the privacy of
his own home-and that's about the
worst place in the world to do it.

FIRE CHIEF SPEAKS
AT GRAMMAR SCHOOL
ON CHRISTMAS FIRES

Fire Chief William j. Nemeck gave
the pupils of three grades at the gram
mar school an interesting and instruc-
tive talk concerning fire danger at
Christmas time, Tuesday morning.
'"There are two things that Santa Claus
is afraid Of" the chief stated. "One
of these is the open candle that may
ignite his whiskers and clothes, and
the other is dirty chimney
Miniature electric lights should be
used on Christmas trees in place of
candles" Chief Nemecl1 advises "And
the Christmas tree should be removed
from the house within two or three
days after Christmas, as they dry out
quickly and become very inflamma-
BILE. Christmas tree trimming should
be dipped in solution of alum water
Gone ounce of alum to a gallon of
water) which will make them fire.
proof for several days"
Chief Nemeck mentioned the heavy
loss from fire in the United States dur
ing the past year, in which $4,000 men,
women and children lost their lives,
and stated that it lies within the power
of every boy and girl in the country
to help reduce taxes by guarding
against fire constantly.

teacher of Bisbee, through her attor-.
ney, James r. Gentry, Wednesday
night asked damages of the city Of
Bisbee for an injury which she claims
she sustained from slipping and fall
ing on slippery plank leading from

the Miners store some time ago. SThe
case was presented to the city council

The attorney stated that Miss Nc

juring her ankle to such an extent that
she was unable to work for several
days, and that she suffered consider
able pain from the injury, for which
she is entitled to financial remunera-
tion from the city. No action on the
matter was taken by the council, which
agreed to present the claim to the city
attorney and report at the next meet
ing.

BOY SCOUTS TO AGAIN
CONDUCT TOY REPAIR
SHOP HERE CHRISTMAS

The boy scouts of Douglas will again
conduct toy fix-it shop, repairing
broken toys for distribution to the poor
children of the city. Last year the
scouts repaired some SO toys and turn
ed them over to the Salvation Army.
This year it is hoped that an even
larger number can be secured to re-
pair, and plans are under way to have
the scouts make small toys in addi-
tion to repairing broken ones.
Captain Helms of the Salvation Army
plans to see that every child in the
city receives a visit from Santa Claus
this year, and declared the work of
the scouts will assist greatly in MAX
ing this possible. He will be glad to
receive broken toys from the people
and see that they are turned over to
the scouts. A committee of scouts
from troop of Douglas will visit the
various stores in the community and
ask that the toys broken in shipment
be turned over to them.
Last year most of those repaired
were received from the stores. Scout
master Nichols of troop 5 is cooperat-
ing with Captain Helms in the secur-
ing of as many broken toys as pos
sible. County Executive Bartlett will
have direct charge of the repair shop.

BOARD.
HEARS REPORT T.
ON SEAL S ALE.

At the regular meeting of the school
board, held in the library Of the gram
mar school building on. Twelfth street
yesterday afternoon, superintendent Of
Schools r. e. Souers announced that
the drive for funds through the sale Of
the Christmas seals by the school chill
dren this week had brought in nearly
$4OO up to Thursday afternoon and
that the drive will end with the close
Of the school week this afternoon.
Following the completion of the
drive, the school authorities will issue
for publication a statement showing
which school in the district did the
greatest amount of work in the drive
and which grade or room sold the most
seals
superintendent Souers told the MEM
bers of the board at the meeting yes
terday some interesting things about
the manner in which the money OBJ
tanned from the sale of the seals is
used. He said that at the close of
school last year a large number of
enlarged or diseased tonsils and that
their expenses were betrayed from this
fund. He said that nearly a dozen
pairs of glasses had been fitted
through the use Of this money; that
many cases of Illness and suffering
from poverty we're relieved by it, and
that the schools still have on hand a
considerable amount from last years
sale, all of which will be expended as
time goes on in worthy causes TO aid
the poor and unfortunate among the
population. sglt,f
The meeting of the school board was
for the purpose of auditing the vouch-
ers for the. month and bringing the
business of the district up to date.
Nothing outside the routine business
was brought up. One member of the
board, Mrs. Thomas L. Harsell, was
absent.
