MEXICO MAY HELP TO FEED THE
 WORLD.

From Chihuahua, Mexico, comes the news that people of that section are preparing to help feed the world, Now that peace prevails in Mexico, ex- cept from a few scattered bands of bandits that are being round ed up and stood against the wall the republic to our south is ap- parently nearer back to civil life than it has been in five years.
 Peace in Mexico has its poSsi- bitities which are just beginn- ing to be realized by the state and federal officials of the Mex ican government. At this time, when Mexico is one of the few nations of the earth that is at peace with the world, the re. public's ineXhauStible supply of natural wealth will be Deeded to feed, clothe and equip the world.
 In the state of Chihuahua, alone. the mineral resources are clalmed to be greater than in any other district of similar area in the world. The mines of the state never have been exhaust ed, the untouched StOrehouses of mineral wealth await develop ment while many mines which have been abandoned because of depletion of precious metals may be reopened and worked at a profit for copper, lead and other baser metals.
 However, mineral compose only one of the many groups of natural resources which Mexico has in abundance and which never have been developed be- yond the most primitive stages because of the revolutions. Wheat, corn, beans, maize, oats and other cereals are capable of being grown here in almost every district of the state. Irrigation projects have remained idle for lack of workmen, rivers may be damned to water virgin lands and underground water basins offer another method of irrigat- ing the fertile lands.
 Cotton and other textile and fiber crops may also be grown in this state, and because of the supply of labor, can be produc- ed and sold on the American market at a very low price Native rubber grows wild in this state, forests exist which have never been touched for timber, millions of acres of graz ing land are without cattle be- cause of the revolutions and it has been predicted that Mexico would be the future home of the cattle industry in the American continent The Messenger.

"GO AND GO NOW"
TO ALL THE CITIZENS OF ARIZ-

TO ALI THE CITIZENS OF ARIZ- ONA:-
 Today we face the necessity of raising our First Arizona h. fantry Regiment to war strength either by voluntary enlistment or by the draft. Voluntary en- liStnent is a credit to the man who gives his services and Ariz- ona can not be more highly honored than by having her young men ntarily bring their organiza ton to full strength.
 From the older men, the mothers and sisters, facing as they do the necessity of loved ones absent in the service Of their Country, I ask aid and CO operation. In the hands of all the people of this State is Ariz- Ona's answer 10 the call of our Country and President. Delay means the draft: with no choice of service for the young men who go.
 America has entered this war on the side of liberty and II huiuoAiuy. H1oTIHS UIle neIn- ory of those who fought for those principles in the Revolu- tiOn, who first established liber- ty and humanity as the basis of our Government, it is fitting that the newest State to enter the Union should be the first to raise it's quota to defend those principles.
 It is the duty of every man, woman, and child in Arizona to urge enlistment on those liable for service until the required numb Der represents Arizona at the front, that Arjzona's record may be an example to all the States. l ask the aid of every loyal citizen of Arizona in urging that men who are fable for ser vice volunteer now and take their places as members of our First Arizona Infantry.

 If there ever was a time when every effort should be made to plant garden it is now. There are two main reasons for this. A healthful diet calls for plen- ty of veeeta bles. At least ore meal of the day, summer and winter. should be largely of vegetables and fruits. The second is for economy. The price of vegeta bles and every other article of food is still soar ing, and plenty of home raised vegetables will be one of the means of bringing it down.

reserve the right to question the con-
stitutionality OF the selectivs draft aw.
The court announced that sentence
would be deferred until after next Mon

GERMAN CROPS IN
SATISFACTORY CONDITION

Copenhagen via London, June g.

condition, accorring to
German reports. particularly in south
ern and western Germany. although
plenty Of rain continues to be the ear
nest desire of the farming classes. The
hot. dry weather during May-the
driest May In 16 years, with a rainfall
barely half Of the normal-brought on
the grain crop so rapidly that the farm
ers in southern and western. Germany
are reckoning upon the harvest
at the usual date. despite the greatly
belated spring.
. The turn Of the month from May to
June was marked by some rainfall,
although not enough by far. and
the weather experts predict another
period of dryness. The government
has made all arrangements to rush
the early potatoes from the ground to
the market and has ordered an exact
census by districts. to determine the
acreage and probable date of ripening
of each individual patch. in order to
take them as fast as they come, so as
to relieve the drain upon the dwindling
grain stocks.
Very few potatoes are nowy reaching
the market, and the ration almost
everywhere has been cut from three
pounds down to nothing, bread being
necessarily substituted.

And so the penny was earned. And when
Sunday came and the teacher asked the
little one to tell the class how she earn
