GOVERNMENT SHOULD ACT

The |. w. w. menace might be
easily handled and put out of ex-
istence if the Federal government
would get busy and place the
arch enemy of all governments,
William Haywood, behind the
bars on a charge of treason in
the time of war.
Along with Haywood should
go every member of the l. w.
w., a special effort being made
to get the big leaders first. No
sympathizer of the l. w. w.
propaganda should enjoy the
liberty of this country only long
enough to place him, in Jail to
wait his trial for treason.
There is no room in this coun-
try for people like Haywood,
Berkman and the female species
represented by Emma Goldman.
No form of government suits
them because they do not believe
in governments.
As evidence of the total de-
pravity of the followers of Hay
wood, the following verse from
the l. W. w. Song Book, is given:
Coward Christian soldiers, rip and
tear and smite,
Let the gentle Jesus bless your dynamite,
Smash the doors of everv home, pretty
maidens seize.
Use your might and sacred right to
treat her as you please
This particular verse exemplifies
to the fullest degree just what
the l. w. w. are, what they be-
lieve in and what they would do
if they ever got in power in this
or any other country.

IMPORTANT TO DEALERS

On November l, 1917, a law
goes into effect in the United
States which is important to all
dealers handling fruits or vege-
tables for interstate shipment
from Arizona points.
The act fixes the capacities and
dimensions of three sizes Of Gil
max baskets only. The effect of
this is to prohibit the use in in
terstate commerce of Climax
baskets of all other sizes.
Package manufacturers and
dealers, fruit and vegetable
growers, and shippers or dealers
in any Of these products, may
forward containers, charges pre-
paid, to the Bureau of Markets,
Washington, D. c., for examina-
ton and testing in order to de-
termine for the information Of
the sender whether such contain
err manufactured, bought, sold or
used by him complies with the
provisions of this act.
AS interstate shipment of fruits
and vegetables from Arizona
points is increasing, it will be
we'll for handlers to have any
baskets tested that are intended
for use after November 1st Of
this year.

TO REGISTER WOMEN

A campaign has been started
by the Women's Committee of
the Council of National Defense
to secure a registration of the
women for voluntary service in
behalf of war preparedness.
Mrs. Pauline M. O'Neill, Chair
man for Arizona, has received a
quantity of registration cards,
and in order to secure volunteers
among the women of the State,
she desires that they write to the
headquarters of the Arizona
Council of Defense, at Phoenix,
offering their services, when
cards will be sent out to them to
secure the complete information
which the Women's Committee
desires to have.
The aim of the committee in
obtaining tn e registration of
women, is to record in definite
form their training, capacity ard
willingness for service of S
many women as can be raised in
Arizona. This registration is en-
tirely voluntary, but every wo-
men is given an opportunity to
register for patriotic service by
writing to the Arizona Council of
Defense for one of these cards.
The form of the card has been
prepared by the Women's Com
mittee after consultation with
the United States Census Office,
so that if later on the govern
ment wishes to take the census
of it's women power, these cards
can be utilized for this purpose.
1t is the desire of Mrs, O'Neill
to have the offers on file of as
many women as possible at an
early date, in order that their
services may be utilized IN the
many phases of war prepared
ness which appear from time to
time.

carried on under fire, one unit
having been heavily shelled, but
without casualties. Often the
work is handicapped by having
to be done in woods that have

Plan War Program
For the State Fair

The Arizona Council of De-
fense has received a telegram
from w. S. Clifford, Director of
the National Defense Council,
asking it to notify the Arizona
State Fair Commission to hold a
place on it's program for patriotic
and educational exhibits, parades
and addresses on all vital war
matters.
Many government departments
and bureaus will contribute dis
plays and demonstrations of un-
usual interest. The leading pa
triotic societies of America and
the American Association of
Fairs and Expositions are CO.
operating heartily in this work.
A number of conferences are
being held in Washington this
week outlining many plans for
the program.
Full information regarding the
national program is expected
within a few days from Mr.. Gift
ford, and will be turned over at
once to Mr.. Zachau, Secretary of
the Arizona State Fair Commits
sion, to be used in connection
with the State Fair Program.

NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS

Uncle Sans income from the
national forests of Arizona and
New Mexico increased 40 per
cent during the fiscal year just
closed, according to figures just
made public by District For
ester Redington. The gross re-
ceipts are said to have passed
the 5000, 600 mark for the first
time in the history of the for
ests. An active market for lum-
Der, more cattle and sheep on
the ranges and higher grazing
fees account for most Of the in
crease.
Figures just received from
Washington show an increase in
income of 5000, 600 from the ma
tional forests throughout the
country. A larger volume of
business is shown in timber sales,
livestock grazing, and especially
in leases of land for summer
homes. Sales of turpentining
privileges, however, fell off near
ly one-half.
1t is pointed out by Forest off,
GERS that prosperity on the ma
tional forests is shared by the
states in which they lie. Of the
$615, 600 yielded by the South
western forests, Arizona and
New Mexico will get about $780,
600 for their roads and schools.

COMPANY B OUR PRIDE

Company Is, First Arizona In
fantry, which was organized in
Stafford, has reason to be proud
of its fine record since called into
service as a unit in the regiment
for border duty, in May, 1916,
when it looked as if war with
Mexico was a certainty, but
which, fortunately, as we realize
it now, was averted.
Company B was specially men,
toned in orders for being the
best company in the regiment.
1t received the highest mark of
commendation for efficiency and
care of equipment and has kept
its place in military life as a truly
representative body of Ameri-
cans, whose loyalty to their coun-
try and State can be depended
upon at all times.
When our country entered the
great war for the freedom of
democracy, the great need OF
officers for the new national
army that was to be organized
by filling all regiments to their
full quota by volunteers and la
ter through the selective draft,
came the opportunity to the
members of "Arizona's Fighting
First" to apply for chance to
become officers through the camp
of instruction established at
Preside, CAL, and it happened
that Company B had two aspir-
ants that were accepted and took
their place in the officers school.
One of these young men was
Joseph Fletcher Swift, eldest son
of Forest Supervisor I. I. Swift,
who joined Company B at it's or
ganization in February, 1916,
and who held the rank of first
sergeant.
The other young man was Rob-
ert Geitz, second son of Mrs.
Adam Welker, Sr.. who held the
rank of company clerk.
Both Sergeant Swift and Com
pany Clerk Geitz applied them
selves to become efficient and
pass the examination that meant
promotion, with the result that
they both succeeded and brought
honor to themselves, to their
company and their folks at home,
and Stafford is proud of them and
wish them both glorious success
in their new work as commission
ed officers in Uncle Sans Army.
Sergeant Swift will receive his
commission as first lieutenant
this week, and Company Clerk
Geitz as second lieutenant.
Another one of our boys, who
joined the company here as a
private when it was organized,
Sc cond Lieutenant Warnock,
went to the front rapidly when
the company went to the border,
and earned his commission while
in Douglas. Lieutenant Warnock
is making a splendid officer for
Company B.
First Lieutenant Romeo Haby,
of Company B, is a Graham
County boy, who lived at Klon-
dyke, and is making good as an
officer.
Another Stafford boy, who has
brought honor to himself and his
home town, Lieutenant Wicker
sham, is the adjutant of the First
Battalion, First Arizona Infan-
try. We are proud of his sue
cess.
"Our Boys" now at Ajo, un-
der the command of Captain
Roach, who is also Saffordite,
is winning new honors at its new
place of duty as being one of the
most efficient and best drilled
companies in the new National
Army.
Stafford certainly has reason to
be proud of it's Company B, of
every officer and every private,
and if our company gets in the
fighting line somewhere in
France it will win further honors
for our country, our State and
our town.
