Prescott was inoculated with the
war fever in real earnest yester
day when Attorney James 10y per
sonally interviewed half dozen
friends with regard to the Organiza-
ton of a troop of rough riders.
Fired by the spirit of patriot
ism, Mr. 10y called upon his ac-
quaintances for immediate action
and secured promises from a num-
Der to come to the front with
rush when the call was issued.
Among those whom Mr.. 10y saw
were Joe Archambeau., County At
torney P. w. O'Sullivan, r. Mead
or and a. J. Herndon. All four
are gentlemen OF robust build who
would perhaps find it no easy task
to restrain their desires to get out
of the saddle and walk instead. But
all hands promised to come through
when the call was issued.

WHAT MADE, IN AMER
ICA" SHOULD MEAN

There has been an enormous
amount of news and editorial mat
ter published since the breaking out
II the European war over the oppor-
tunities that the war has created for
the trade of the United States, and
Made in America" has become a
popular slogan.
So far, however, the meaning of
the pharse seems to apply merely to
the use of American made articles
by Americans in preference to inn
ported goods, and less public atten-
ton is given to the possibilities which
lie before American manufacturers
to make the goods as we'll known
throughout the civilized world as
have been the clocks, and toys, and
chinaware, and fabrics of Germany,
Austria and France.
The foreign trade of these coun-
tries has been built up by years of
the most careful study of the needs
and conditions of the people to whom

ida and California behind them,
stand on the same plane as their
French competitors.
Patronage of American goods,
like charity, should begin at home,
but if the made in America" label
is 10 become familiar in foreign
lands, it can only be by real merit.
The European war has not only
given TO American manufacturers Il
large measure of protection from
foreign competition at home, but
has raised a wall of protection be-
hind which, if America is wise. il
can build an immense trade abroad.
In time, and the world is praying
that the time will come soon. peace
will return and the United States
will find Germany, France, England
and Austria competing with re-
doubled energy for the markets of
the world. The advantages which
America can now gain should be re-
tanned by every means which private
ingenuity and government encour-
agement can suggest. We already
