Young boys with rubber flip
pers and 20 calibre rifles are
killing birds in the orchards near
town that are valuable as pest
destroyers. The woolly aphis'
greatest enemy, the woodpecker,
is fast disappearing, owing TO the
Workmanship of the boys, and it
is about time the county officers
got busy and put a stop to this
class of hunting and save the
birds that help keep the orchards
free from pests.

PLANT PUMPKINS In CORN

Pumpkins planted in corn fur
nish a cheap appetizing stock
feed. They should be planted by
the latter part of June, putting a
pumpkin seed in every sixth hill
and in every missing corn hill.
Pumpkins will affect but slightly
the stand of corn and a large
amount of fine stock feed can be
raised.
Pumpkins are relished by cat
tie and hogs. Fed, uncooked
and with the seeds, they act as
an appetizer and corrective of
digestive troubles. Two and one
half tons of uncooked pumpkins
are equal to ton of corn silage
to cattle. 1t has been found that
273 pounds of grain and 376
pounds of pumpkins produced
100 pounds of pork, the pump
kins saving 100 to $50 pounds of
grain. The low cost of growing,
ease of keeping, large yields and
the tonic qualities of succulent
feed available when succulent
hog feeds are scarce make pump
kins well worth while.

George Lawrence, railroad fireman,

one-dollar bottles of Foley Kidney Pills
when was so sick hardly could stay
on my engine. My back ached all the
time; my kidneys acted sluggish; dull
headache; felt sleepy all the time;
nervous; had to rise six to eight times
each night. Folev Kidney Pills cured

they can filter out of the blood the uric

COOPERATION IS NEEDED

The Arizona Corporation Com
mission. through it's chairman,
f. A. Jones, gives the following
timely advice to shippers and re-
ceivers of freight by rail, rail
roads operating in Arizona and
others interested:
The National Council of Dc
fense calls attention to the ne
cessity for cooperation between
all interests, to the END that full
efficiency of the transportation
unit freight carr may be Oh
tanned.
1t is of general knowledge that
there has existed, during the
past year or more, a serious
shortage of freight cars, ard
that other railroad facilities have
been taxed beyond their capa-
city.
The government will undoubt-
edly call upon the railroads cf
the country for extraordinary
and additional service in the
movement of troops and supplies
incident to the war. The prompt
movement of food products and
of commodities essential to Che
needs of the War Department is
of pressing Importance. Much
can be done by the shipping pub
lie to aid in the expeditions move
ment of freight, in disregarGing
the established minimum carload
weight requirements, aid where
ever possible, loading cars to
their maximum carrying capac-
ity. Cars can be loaded ten
per cent in excess of marked
capacity. Maximum load n g
would greatly reduce the number
of cars necessary to move the
tonnage now being handled. The
prompt loading and unloading Of
cars will likewise increase the
efficiency of the rail carriers.
Frequently cars are held under
load by consignees up to the full
free time allowance, when in
many cases they could be released
much quicker. Similarly, ship
pers avail themselves of the full
free time allowance in which to
load cars instead of so arranging
their affairs to load and forward
more promptly.
We feel sure that the shippers
and receivers of freight in Ariz-
ona will cooperate in these mat
ters to the fullest extent.

PATRIOTISM OF AMERICAN PRESS

The services rendered to the
Government of the United States
in the sale of the Liberty Loan
Bonds of 1917, by the press OF
the country is record evidence of
the generous patriotism of the
newspaper men of America. 1t
is recorded in the pages of thou
sands of American newspapers,
many of them printed in foreign
languages, from the largest daily
t, the smallest country weekly.
The newspapers of the country
came across" with liberal dona-
tions of space in news, editorial
and advertising columns.
Newspaper men have observed
with deep and peculiar pleasure
the whole-hearted activity of the
men of their fraternity in the
country in promoting the sale of
the Liberty Loan Bonds. The
influence and assistance of all
publications in making the loan
success are simply incalculable.
Their efforts greatly contributed
to making it a double success in
that it was not only largely over
subscribed, but the Liberty Loan
Bonds were placed in every COM
munity in the United States, in
cities and in remote country dis
tricts, in mining towns and man
ufacturing centers, among farm
ers and country merchants, as
well as city bankers and large
C )mmercial and manufacturing
houses.
1t was a great educational cam
!aign. Readers of their county
+ lper in their country homes,
nd new American citizens from
plpers printed in their old langu-
age, and others just learning our
language, who in the evening
spelled out the news in the great
daily papers. were informed of
the purposes and objects of the
Liberty Loan and instructed in
the nature, value and terms of
Government bonds, especially the
Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917. The
whole Nation has made long
stride forward in financial educa-
tion through the Liberty Loan
campaign of 1917 as conducted
through the press of the country. |
The country press which with
out compensation gave literally |
of its limited space is equally de-
serving of praise with the larger
papers. In their respective
spheres all classes of publications
in the country covered their field
thoroughly and well. The press
of America can look back on the
work it performed for the Liberty
Loan as a great public service,
ABLY, thoroughly and unselfshly
performed.

Review Of Sports
and Athletic News

the case In recent years; curtailment
Of the number Of players now permit
ted to each club and reduction OF
the present salaries; the shifting OF
one or more club franchises to now ana
more profitable fields Of patronage;
the elimination Of long and expenslve
southern training trips; Encouragement
Of schedules with tho idea Of reducing
sthe large annual transportation bills,
and readjustment or combination OF
minor league circuits In order ito pro-
vide more attractive and lucrative play.
1t is exceedingly doubtful II all Of
these suggestions are, adopted, but 1t
Ia equally certain that some will ana
their way into the codes Of agreements
Of the league. since those in charge
realize that baseball, like all othar
sports, l. confronted by conditions
which are mr. from normal. An ex-
ample of these conditions, can be cited
in the draft problem which confronts
the magnates. A number Of major and
minor league players will probably be
lost to the game In this manner before
the spring practice begins and their
places must be filled. It is expected
that the big league clubs will draw
upon the minors for war time substi-
tutes. II this is done both the quality
and quantity Of play may decrease on
certain circuits. Viewed from any
