Had you ever thought why there is too much talking about ones height bor in the average very small village. This is not always the case but often it is said, Each one knows every other persons busi- ness," which, by the way, is a fact, and all too often 1t is the wrong thing that is dis cussed. THE PULLING DOWN HABIT IS AN AW- FUL VICE. Well, the req son for this vice is that the inhabitants of such towns HAVEN'T CAUGHT THE.

Editorial

This is the fourth and last of these double page adver- tisements run by the Mesa merchants together with the editorials on trading at home. These editorials are not written by the mer- chants, but are the result of a firm belief that the only way to build up a town and the country around 1t, Is to TO PROMOTE A SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY LOY- ALTY IN WHICH EVERY CITIZEN SHALL SHARE.

We ask, why not? There are twenty firms advertis- ing on these pages and as many more in town whose names arenot shown hereon, but just take these. Look them over: George Johnson, o. s.

Do you really know any good reason when you have goods to buy, or auto repairing or purchasing, or a friend who wishes to To- cate here, or plumbing work to be done, why all such ben eft should not be thrown to these men who are your friends and fellow towns men, provided always that they can sell you merchant disc as cheap as you can hly 1t elsewhere?

LIQUOR, BEER AND WINE
ON TRIAL BEFORE SENATE
Agreement Reached to Vote on
Amendment at 4 O'Clock
Wednesday Afternoon

WASHINGTON, July SO.-Liquors.
beers and wines came up for trial be-
fore the senate At , o'clock today.
For the first time in the history
of the country the senate IS 20 pass
upon an amendment to the constitution
which would prohibit the sale, gift or
manufacture of intoXicants in any
FORM
If the amendment is passed by a
two-thirds vote of the house and sem
ate it must then be ratified by three
fourths of the states in The union. BY
agreement the senate will vote on the
amendment next Wednesday at
clock
Twenty senators were on the floor
when Sheppard introduced his amend
ment. A moment later, when the sens
tor began his speech the audience of
solons melted to ten and then fell away
still further.
Senator Gronna was the only Re
publican on the floor. The galleries,
however, were filled with rooters, for
and against king alcohol.
This is a historic occasion" Shep-
pard began. For the first time in its
annals the senate is to vote on the sub
mission Of a constitutional amendment
for nationwide prohibition. The method
It's own alteration is being strictly fol-
lowed. If this proposed amendment
should be adopted by threefourths OF the
states the traffic in intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes would be forbid
den anywhere within the American re-
public Prohibition would be Undecided
in the organic law of the nation"
Sheppard during all of his address d.
rected mixed fire of medical facts and
human sentiment against the liquor traf-
fic. He began with a quotation from
and carried his quotations on
through the American Medical associa-
tion, Admiral Jellicoe, RudYard Kipling
and a hundred others in a terrific in
dictment of alcohol.
He denounced appeals to labor to sup
port the men employed by the $4,000 sa-
looms and $500 breweries, distilleries and
various other liquor-producing plants.
Every million dollars invested in the
liquor business. he said, gives employ
ment to AZ men. A similar sum invested
in the lumber industry, he said, would
employ $40 men.

AMERICA BEGINS CALLING
NEW NATIONAL ARMY
Washington and Other Cities
Summon Initial Group for
Examinations

WASHINGTON, July sO.-America
began calling out men for her new ma
tional army today. All over the coun-
try prospective soldiers are at atten-
ton.
The nations capital. one of the first
TO be ready, called its initial group for
examination at q. m The response
was without hesitation, and authorities.
while on the lookout for slackers, antici-
pated practically no Sinking.
Other eastern cities also had their
first roll calls.
In other parts OF the country, examin-
atoms will start as soon as local
boards get their official lists checked
up and their notices mailed By the end
of the week this step should be accom-
plished all over the land.
AS men came UP for physical ex-
animation, early reports indicated al
heavier percentage of exemptions than
anticipated will result from the tests.
AS result, exemption boards have
been instructed to be especially careful
as to freeing men on claims. Each
case must be carefully vised and there
must be no favoritism.
There has been no change, however,
in the general plan for eXempting those
with dependent families or those indis-
pensable to industries vital to prosecu-
ton OF the war.
As matters now stand, it is doubt
full whether the first army will be en-
camped before October l, inasmuch as
cantonment construction started so late
that it is almost impossible to have
things ready before that date
As 100000 men began their marcn
to examination headquarters today, the
war department wrestled with the prob
lem of supplying her great national
army.
Aiming and equipping the coming
thousands is proving tremendous task.
BY the time the men are In camp, how
ever, the department believes there Will
be necessary supplies at least for the
preliminary training.
Food and money problems promise
to be on their way to settlement this
week. A complete agreement in con-
ference on the food control bill is ex-
pected within twenty-four hours. The
senate finance committee will report
81 900, 00O, 900 tax bill Thursday.
Having reorganized its work under
board Of seven to control all govern
ment purchases, the national defense
council is prepared to rush contracts for
supplies.

WILSON WILL NOT YIELD
ON FOOD CONTROL BOARD
President Again Declares Op-
position to Amendments
Now in Conference

WASHINGTON. July 3O.-President
Wilson today declared again his oppo-
sition to amendments TO The food con-
troll bill now in conference providing
for an administrative board of three
instead of one and for the creation of
a congressional committee on expendi-
lures in the conduct of the war.
The presidents position was made
clear today by Senator Chamberlain, one
of the conferees on the bill. The presl-
dent considers the committee on con-
duct of the war a reflection on himself
and insists there can be no question or
the greater value of an individual food
administration over an administrative
board of three.
Senator Chamberlain left the White
House convinced that unless the con-
ferees eliminate those provisions the
kill must go back to the senate and
house for further action. The posi-
bility that the president might veto the
measure if they were left in it was
widely discussed in congress.
The president, however, 1t was said.
gave no intimation to Senator Chamber
lain today he was so strongly opposed
to the provisions as to veto the bill
Senator Chamberlain said he thought
the senate conferees would insist on
both the three-member food board and
the congressional committee, causing
disagreement on these two points alone.
Virtual agreement on all other matters
in dispute between house and senate
had been accomplished or was in sight
today.
The senate amendment providing
food board of three members instead
of the house bills one member. will be
modified TO have a one man food con-
troll, the man to be nominated by the
president and confirmed by the senate.
This would mean that Hoover's name
would have to be sent to the senate for
confirmation
The prohibition section finally agreed
to forbids the use of the fruits, ce-
reals or other .edibles in the manufac-
ture of distilled spirits, forbids the
of spirits and authorizes the
president to seize all spirits in bond or
stock, paying a fair price for them.
1t further authorizes the president
to stop or curtail the manufacture of
beers or wines and to prevent their i'm
portation.
In the agreement as to a minimum
price for wheat, the 81 minimum estab-
lished by congress will be effective only
on those crops being harvested between
June 1, 1918, and May, 1919.
Powers for handling the present crop
probably will be placed in the hands Of
the food control department.
Further drastic provision for pre-
venting boarding and speculation in
foodstuffs is embodied The Pomerene
coal price fixing amendment\h Mas been
agreed upon.
Under the definition of food control
will be included food. feed, fuel and in
struments and equipment used in their
actual production.
