After setting our patch we had plants left which we placed on the sides of our late pea rows. On the 3rd of July we pulled up the vines and plowed the cabbage, adding a light fertilizer, and in September we gave another light plowing. By then they were heading nice ly. We still have nice heads in the open garden. On Christmas day we cut one that weighed 5 pounds. We had four rows of bunch lima beans which received the same cultivation, and they were loaded with green fruit when the first freeze came They wereJiu'. from June, and we put up It? pounds of shelled beans for winter use.

This great organization, which stands for humanity the world over and succor to all races and creeds, now Is face to face with its greatest task—backing up the army and navy of these United States In a titanic struggle to make the universe safe for democracy. In its Christmas membership drive for 2,000,000 new members In the Southwest division, comprising the states of Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Ok lahoma and Arkansas, the American Ked Cross appeals not lor charity, but for patriotism of an undivided people. Aid for America’* Sons. Up to the present time the Red Cross has gone to the front for all peoples combatting a ruthless autoc lacy unprecedented in the annals ol mankind. Today it is engaged in re cruiting its wonderful resources to aid the millions of men America is assem bling tor the decisive battle in the trenches, in the air and on the seas. “Charity begins at home” is a tinie wern, trite axiom. But, brought up to date, it finds a real meaning in the support for tliis country’s fighters and ihosi they leave behind. The Millions who find protection uti di r the Stars and Stripes are now of ftred an opportunity to do real serv ice to the nation and the boys win. will fight for them against the evil which menaces the very foundation ol this free government. Service Is Awaiting All. The War Council of the American Ki u Cross has decided that a great na houal purpose will he served by hav mg membership in the Red Cross ai most us universal as citizenship. Although pledged as a nation to the national purpose during this crisis, it will not be granted to a large percent age ot American men, women and chi! uren to play u part in the fighting branch or our country's service. Aii however, can he identified, through membership in the Red Cross, which in this case, when entire nations art organized for warfare, is big enough and strong enough to carry some ol ihe burden for our soldiers, for oui sailors and our allies. America's struggle is one of Men Money, Material and Mercy. Men sup ply the military force. Money repre sents the means by which the army and navy are supplied. Material con sists of guns, ammunition, uniforms and supplies. Mercy—the Red Cross Morale Vital Factor. Comfort kits, sweaters, wristlets ami bandages go far in promoting tht welfare of Uncle Sam's fighters, but the greatest stimulant to the army's moraie is concrete evidence of AtueV lean citizenship's unity ly an addition of 2,000,00b members to tile Americas .vi . v , in i iii Southwest by L-Ui iot mas L* e. .x. .v,c>- an American can ui<;k* ..i» i at mpeasau ther, pirn or brother menui ed by al the perils oi warfare ui the trenches abroad. Lack of proper morale has, without doubt, been largely responsible for tht collapse of Russia and the crumbling of Italy's forces. No man can throw himself whole-heartedly into the busi ness of war when devoured by the most acute anxiety as to the welfare of his loved ones at home. More than 6,000,000 men and women already have enlisted in the ranks ol the American Red Cross to ministei relief to the maimed and suffering and to carry cheer and comfort tc America's army and navy.

JOHN M. PITTMAN.] g The memorial service for Mrs. Ellsworth Thursday December 20, at the home of Mrs, John M. Pittman, was one of special sacredness in that Mrs. Ells worth had been such a faithful member for thirteen years—ever since her coming to Prescott— and an efficient officer many times. Among the many loving tributes paid the deceased, wTas one by Mrs. George Cress who has been very intimately asso ciated withlher for many years, and which is given below: “Good friends are among our dearest earthly treasures. Some times in the hurry and rush of life we fail to express the feeling of fellowship that we really pos sess. It should not be so, for each of us is, more or less, de pendent upon the other. To be associated >ith a friend with a soul sincere is one of God’s greatest blessings, and draws us nearer to him. Mrs. Ellsworth was a friend to every cause of right; in every avenue of life where it was psssible for her to minister! to the sick, to the needy —to comfort the sorrowing and to uplift the weak and falt ering, she was always found there ready to bear the full share of her duty. As a personal friend, perhaps none could appreciate her more than 1. For over eighteen years our families have shared each others joys and sorrows. She was always interested in the things that were for my welfare, and a truer friend than she, i will never be found. Our hearts are saddened yet ' we must not lose sight of the truth that our brief stay in this world is but a preparation for that better life beyond. To each of us will come, some day the summons to enter into that broader, higher field of life. As our friends pass on before us it makes heaven seem just a little nearer, and each of us a little dearer to the other.” Longfellow’s beautiful poem— “God's Acre,” was read by Mrs Sam Logan, and Tennyson's beautiful lines, “Crossing the Bar,” was sung by Mrs. Dan Pittman. A memorial membership cer tificate was presented by the Union to'the family, as a slight token of the affection in which Mrs. Ellsworth was held by the Union. A further expression of this high esteem in ^which she was held, was the adoption of a French orphan by the Union in her memory. The following resolutions won read byJMrs. C. L. Green: Since Death has claimed Mrs. Mary C. Ellsworth, one of our most faithfuljmembers, and an efficient officer of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, Resolved, That we deplore, deeply deplore her going away and feel that her place can not be filled; That the sudden removal of such a life, leaves a vacancy and a sorrow that will be deeply re alized by each member of this Union, and will prove a serious loss to the temperance work, to the community and to the public; That we tender to the bereav ed family our tenderest sympa thy and pledge our prayers for them in their hour of grief; That a copy of these resolu tions be written in the minutes, and a copy be sent to the family.
