Four of Apache's soldier boys
arrived on the stage Tuesday.
They were Roy McFate, from
Vancouver, Wash., Abelino Jara
millo, Epefanio Salazar, of St.
Johns, and another young, man
of Springerville. The latter three
are from Fort Rosencrans.
Frank Chnstensen writes his
parents under date of Nov. 21,
1918, and says that the Arizona
158th Infantry band is now sta
tioned in Paris . He states that
his company is housed in the third
story of one of the ancient castles
of that far famed city. The band
gives three concerts each day.
Frank also says that Paris is the
prettiest place he has ever seen
or expects to see, St. Johns ex
cepted. Mrs. Isley's Letter.
In a recent letter Mrs. D. W.
Isley of Litchfield, 111., says, "I
have used Chamberlain's Tablets
for disorders of the stomach and
as a laxative, and have found
them a quick and sure relief." If
you are troubled with indigestion
or constipation these tablets will
do you good." Adv.
Prof. A. E. Johnson, former
owner and manager of the Apa
che Theater, operated in St.
Johns, and who sold out and
moved toSpringerville some three
months ago is again in the city,
but very ill. He contracted the
Spanish influenza at Springerville
while attending h i s brother
James, who was sorely afflicted
with the disease. Everett has
been over the 'Flu' for a long
time but is suffering with com
plications which are a result of it.
His relatives thought it best to
move h i m from Springerville
thinking that perhaps the lower
climate and warmer weather
would be beneficial to him. Since
his arrival he is feeling better.
A dance was held at the Jen
Dike Theater last Saturday night.
Everybody enjoyed themselves at
the dance, but were sorry next

night before, where it was re
ported that Valentine Barrett had
come down with the 'flu'.

tiful calenders for 1919. We are

Someone or somebody got busy
last Monday and had a quarantine
placed at the homes of those hav
ing the Spanish influenza. A

There are few indeed who es
cape having at least one cold dur
ing the winter months, and they
are fortnuate who have but one
and get through with it quickly
and without any serious conse
quences. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and observe the
directions with each bottle, and
you are likely to be one of the
fortunate ones. The worth and
merit of this remedy has been
fully proven. There are many
families who have always used it
for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the very
best results. Adv.

"I Summon You to Comradeship"
WOODROW WILSON,
President, American Red Cros s.
Persons who have joined the
Red Cross in 1918 do not hold a
membership for 1919 unless they

Cross and pay a membership fee
of $1.00 for the year 1919 in'order
that the great work of the organ

is no question that an inestimable
amount of good is accomplished
by this organization, especially
in hospitals for the sick and
wounded and sanitariums for
those afflicted with tuberculosis.
This war against tuberculosis
has become a fight against virtu
ally all disease. Thousands of
lives are being saved from con
sumptives' graves every year
through the aid of the Red Cross.
Be sure you have your 1919Red
Cross Service Flag in your win
dow and are wearing your mem
bership button before Saturday
night. Xmas seals to put on your
Xmas packages are given with
each membership.
The Red Cross is supported by
President Wilson and all national

Forest Fires Caused
Serious Damage.
Albuquerque, Dec. 16, 1918.
That forest fires-in the Southwest
caused serious damage during the
past year is indicated by statistics
recently compiled by the District
Forester dealing with the forest
fire situation in Arizona and New
Mexico during the past season.
On the National Forests in these
two States 795 fires occurred, of
which 647 were under 10-acres.
The fires covered a total area of
33,658 acres, of which 30,706
acres were timbered land. The
damage amounted in money value
to the sum of $15,579, and the
total cast of fighting fire was
$18,400.
Of. the. -total number of fires,
442 were started by lightning; the
balance were man-caused fires.
The conditions which existed
on the Forests during the past
season, according to the District
Forester's statement, were very
conducive to the start and rapid
spread of fire on account of the
drouth, and it was only by vigil
ance on the part of Forest Officers
everywhere that the area and
damage was kept to the compar
atively low figures.
Continued efforts will be made
by the forest service for the im
provement of fire prevention and
suppression through the better
ment of telephonic communica
tion, improvement of trails, the
purchase of more fire fighting
equipment, and by publicity.
Nearly half of the fires of last
season were man-caused, and
there is apparently a great duty
incumbent on the users of the
forests to see that responsibility
for carelessly left fires is not laid
at their doors.
Albuquerque, Dec- 18, 1918.
The Forest Service is negotiating
with the War Department on the
question of securing various items
of army equipment for the use of
field employees, according to a
statement just issued by the Dis
trict Forester.
The equipment asked for in
cludes automobiles, motor-trucks
motorcycles, tents, cooking uten
sils and bedding for use in trans
porting and taking care of forest
fire fighters, as well as miscellan
eous equipment such as riding
and pack saddles, canteens, bino
culars, carpenter tools, and a host
of other equipment which the
army possesses in huge quanti
ties. According to local officials,
the past policy of the government
has been to dispose of surplus
equipment by sale to the highest
bidder, whereas it is now pro
posed to furnish to the various
government bureaus such equip
ment as they actually need and
which would otherwise have to
be paid for from funds in the
treasury.
