Burden is Heavy
"The office report shows tha an av
erage of three tuberculosis patients ap
plied for aid of sorno form each work
ing day of. the. month of reeemle:
Without free hospitals or sanatari.i.
without funds to return these people
to their friends, without money to help
them temporarily further than to drive
away actual starvation, and with few
beds to be found for less than $1 per
night, we feel that our burden i.s more
than we can' bear.
"Telegrams and letters have been
sent, lodges and fraternal organizations
appealed to, but with the most meager
results, '
"The general clinic will beglu the
preparation of their rooms at once
and the work is expected to open tip
by Feb. 1.
"In addition to favors already rec
ognized, the Associated Charities has
received during the past year medicines
from Mason's pharmacy to an amount
approximating $100.
"It Is recommended thpt a commit
tee on legislation be appointed to take
up the matter of transportation of in
digents, according to a bill drawn up in
1915 by members of the board of the
Associated Charities.
"It la also recommended that the
question of street beeping by indigents
be entered, into and a conference be
held with the city manager and the
chief of police regarding the outwork
ins of existing city ordinances.''

i
. E. LMffll:
SENATOR C
What is considered at Arizona head,
quarters of the Kuropean relief coun
cil as one of the most convincing,
sympathetic -ppeai.s jet received for
the millions of starving children in
Huron has been issued by the first
preshb'iir y .f the Mormon church,
compiling lleber .J. r.rant. Anthon H.
I.'inl anil Charles W. Penrose. The
first presidency has set aside next
Sunday for the holding of a special
fast meeting when collections will be
made. Kach member is asked to eon
tribute at least the equivalent of two
meals. The children also are asked
to contribute. The appeal is as fol
lows: "It Is hereby directed that in all
stakes and wards of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to
which this notice shall come, a special
fast meeting be held on Sunday. Jan
uary 23. on which occasion collec
tiorjs will be made and contributions
received for the 'Near East" relief
fund which is dealing with the distress
prevailing in Armenia and in other
oppressed sections of Asia, and also
for the European relief council which
is planning to provide food for three
and . one-half million hungry children
in Mid-Europe.
"Bishops are requested to invoke
the services of their ward teachers
and all other available agencies in
making a thorough canvass of their
wards, between now and the date
named, in order that every family
fhall bo invited and encouraged to
contribute the' equivalent of at least
the two meals contemplated by the
fast, for the feeding of those who are
confronted by long months of semi
M trvation. We should like to know
that every man, woman and child in
our communities had done this much
in responding to this most pite'ous p
pcal to their humanity; while of course
those who feel so inclined may con
tribute as much more as they choose.
"Tile condition of these millions of
undernourished little ones In Europe,
as described Jjy those who have vis
itel the countries of eastern and cen
tral iOurope, is tragic in the extreme.
Whatever mav have been the cause of
the prepent woe. the children are not
responsible. They must not be al
lowed to perish if an outstretched
hand offericg sustenance and nourish
ment can save them. Iet every par
ent in our land of peace and plenty
and let every child also bestow a
sympathetic thought upon a situation
of such suffering, , and the response
will be spontaneous and liberal.
"It is an extraordinary emergency,
culling for unusual measures, and must
be met promptly. As followers of the
.Master Who drew the little children
to Him tind Messed them, our imme
diaie duty is U Fee that no hungry
child cries in vain for bread.

many things in common with Maricopa

churches and bad roads. The highway
question is becoming more intense with
the passage of the years. Our roads
have become our chief means of trans
portation, while the number of vehicles
has increased in the last 15 or 20 years
a hundred fold and speeds have gone
up from four miles an hour to 40 and
"0 miles.

country."
E. K. Potter, who came to Phoenix
from Los Angeles in October to super
vise the appraisal of buildings for pur
poses of taxation for both the city and
county, then explained his system and
answefed questions. He was followed

the extensions planned for this work.
Mr. Pifer was followed by J. o. Sex

Thomas was arrested by Policemen
McGrath. Crowe and Lucy and is re
garded by these officers as one of the
most persistent, check artists" to
operate in rhoenlx and surrounding
towns. Otticer' Crowe asserted that
Thomas bad admitted. to him that he
I bad passed many checks in Phoenix,
I Tempo and Mesa during the past year.
J Although alleged to have a long list
:of fictitious checks to his credit,

cific offense of passing a worthless
check for $19.50 to E. Thoma, The
check in question was made to W. G.

We will start the ball rolling by our invest

Get in on this thing with me. Take the

the chance, of getting the profits which I
most assuredly believe are there for our
going out there.
I'm no oil promoter. I own the oldest estab

The biggest opportunity before Arizona
today lies in oil development. I believe I
have found a territory in this state at the
famous Agua Caliente Springs, not 100
miles from Phoenix where
Oil Will Be Found
.
Every indication is on the ground to show
that oil is present. I took to this field Mr.
William Emerick who is now identified
.with my business in Phoenix and has been
in field work for the Associated Oil Com
pany in the California territory for six years.
His opinion is that OIL WILL BE FOUND
in this field. ' 1
The territory has oil domes and other in
dications that seem to prove that the oil is
there. x . .
Anyhow it is so good that 'I am going to
,V, gamble on it good and strong. The cir
cumstances, are very similar to those
surrounding the Los Angeles fields
which are within 2 or 3 miles of
Hot Springs, Bimini Baths, and
Radium Springs.

1 What I want to get at is this: I want
20 fellows in Phoenix who want to
gamble with me to put up $250
apiece, and we will locate land for
each. Then we will pool this land,
say 15,000 acres, and operate to the
best advantage as circumstances
seem best, each man's money paying
him his share.
If you won't cry if you lose $250
on the best gamble I ever heard
of, or you ever heard of, you
are the folks I'm lookinar
for. IVly honest belief
is that we won't lose.
