half as large as year ago. The eff
forts to move corn and oats and the
general congestion on the railroads are
apparently affecting the wheat move
ment. Il is reported, however, that
stocks of wheat at mills and in country
elevators are quite liberal, and mills
are still grinding quite heavily. Crop
accounts were generally favorable, the
Michigan State report making the con-
dition So per cent, against So per cent
last year.

ECONOMY CAMPAIGNS.

Warnings being issued against too hysterical campaign for economy. It is argu- ed that if everyone begins to money and stop the usual habits of expenditure, it will throw people out of work, and cripple our ill- dustries thus doing more harm than good.
 There is some truth in this. Yet it is very doubtful if such easy spenders as the American people in danger of doing this particular thing. If the money saved economics were used as it ought to be, the results while caus- ing some temporary hardship, would soon be beneficial.
 The most desirable thing to do with ings at the present time is to put them all into the new United States bonds. They will pay fair interest, and will be wholly exempt from taxation. The money will be speut mostly lii our own country, so it will keer o'Ir own workers busy.
 Such purchases of bonds will help our allies buy more goods in our nlunition plants, in our shoe and clothing factories and from our farms This will increase the demand for

 When luxury producer is turned into food creator, the tendency Is *o reduce the price of food and raise that of luxuries. That is sound economics and change that is great ly needed.
 Every who is released from the lux ury trades can find work farm, and with out going very far from home either. Every woman released can find work in factories and in homes, in restaurants and hotels, releasing able-bodied men who could be raising food. These readjustments will cause son,e incon-, venience while they last, but they will leave the United States in far better position to meet the issues of both and peace.

CITY HALL TO BE MOVED

At meeting of the Town Council on Wednesday evening business pick ed up considerably and according to reports it was one of the warmest ses- sions ever held by the city dads. Warm words of a complimentary na- ture and otherwise were freely used and it is understood that all city off, cials were in on the love feast, no one being overlooked in the passing of boquets.
 The trouble apparently started when the subject of the removal of the city hall was preached. At the conclusion of the verbal fireworks a vote was taken on the proposition and it was

THE MOST PATRIOTIC STATE.

Perhaps it is wrong to make voluntary en- istment test of patriotism for either an in- dividual or state. But it's pretty good stan dard just the sameA And judged by this stan dard, Nevada has the proud distinction of being the most patriotic state in the Union.
 Nevada was the first state to provide its quota of volunteers in answer to the presidents call to recruit the regular army to its war strength. That recruiting campaign began April l. Nevada supplied its full quota in 9 days.
 Next on the honor roll came Oregon, with 59 per cent of its quota raised in the same per iod; Indiana, with 45 per cent; and Utah, with 40 per cent.
 The East in general failed to shine by comparison with the West and Middle Vest New York came half way down the list, with less than 15 per cent. The New England states particularly failed to distinguish themselves despite their patriotic traditions and their eager for In 25 days Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut together only produced 1417 vol unteers.
 The South hung back, too, with two or three notable exceptions s-Georgta, with over 26 per cent, ranking seventh and Florida with 21 per cent running close to California. Ken lucky surpassed all the eastern states except Pennsylvania.
 The most unvolunteering state of all was Vermont, with 1-2 per cent. At that rate it would take Vermont nearly three years to pro- vide enough soldiers to give army of 100000 men.
 If we had AS Nevadas, the volunteer sys- tenn might work-provided the volunteers properly sifted and assigned to the tasks they were best fitted for What would happen if the fate of the nation left to AS Vermonts -or AS Delawares or Marylands or New Mexi- cos-may be left to conjecture.

decided to leave the present location and occupy quarters in the second story of the Spezia building on Chase Creek. It is expected that the city hall will be domiciled in it's new home by the first of June, unless another vote is taken in the meantime.
 A traffic officer will be put on the city payroll for one month at com pensation of $50.
 The Council at this meeting also bought the Risdon Studio building on the east side, paying for the same $3SO0. .00. The building will be re- moved soon to make room for the ap- proach to the new bridge which is to be built.

To The Taxpayers of Greenlee County: =

On Saturday, May 18th, 1917, the qualified voters of Greenlee County of which you are one, will be afforded the opportunity of co-operat- ing with the Federal Government in the build ing of an important highway from Metcalf to Springerville.
 That portion of the highway, within Green lee County, approximately seventy nine miles, is estimated to cost $40O 100000.
 By an agreement entered into by the Board of Supervisors of the county and the Department of Agriculture, proportion of this cost will be one-half or $200,000.00 and the bond election on May 18th is for the purpose of raising this amount.
 In brief we are afforded the opportunity, through the able efforts of our representatives in Congress, of securing first-class county highway to the northern boundary of our coun- ty at one-half of it's cost.
 The appropriation on the part of the Fed eral Government has already been made.
 It is necessary to vote yes May 18th, 1917, in order for us to fulfill our part of the agreement.

SUBMARINE MENACE IS GREATEST DANGER.

SOmbAh1NE MENACE 1S
 GREATEST DANGER.
 The British admiralty admits that 40 car go ships of over 1900 tons each were sunk by German submarines last week.
 How many ships of less than 1900 tons sunk, how great was the total ton mage of ships sunk was not reported.
 The figures given and the solemn warning to the people of Great Britain which was issued by Lord Davenport, the food controller at the same time, indicate that the submarine cam paign is by no means failure.
 We violate no confidence when we say that officials in the highest places in Washington have no illusions as to the grave possibilities involved in the increased activity and effective ness of the German submarines.
 The success of the allied cause which now is cause as well, depends absolutely upon keeping Great Britain, France and Italy and Russia supplied with food and the raw mate rials for munitions.
 It is perfectly we'll recognized that if the Germans have been able to sink half mil lion tons of ships month during the bad weather conditions of the late winter and early spring, which they probably have ldone, it is quite possible for them to sink million tons a month during the six months of the good weather now beginning.
 A million tons of ships a month was the figure set by the Germans when they declared ruthless submarine warfare against the world.
 Because they did not achieve this result at once it has been assumed by those thorough ly posted on the situation that the German submarine campaign was a failure. Nothing could be further from the truth
 Up to now the submarines have been op- erating under the most adverse weather condi- tions.
 There is probably difference of between 50 and 100 per cent in the effectiveness of sub- marines in bad weather and in good weather
 And the fact is that no way has yet>been found to fight the submarines successfully.
 Without doubt many German submarines have been sunk or captured during the past three months. The probabilities are that the Germans are increasing their submarine fleet faster than the allies decreasing it.
 If the Germans had thousand submarines in commission when they made their momen- tous decision to add America to their enemies, they probably have great many more than that number now
 The best information obtainable is that they have standardized submarine construc- t1on to the point where they can run them out with a fapidity which would have been con- sidered impossible before the war.
 One story, not authenticateds~ but very circumstantial, is that submarine hulls are be- ing launched from German shipyards at the rate of 20 week.
 Many of these are said to be devoted ex- clusivey to mine-laying.
 There is not the slightest doubt but all of the ocean lanes leading to Great Britain France and Italy are being sown with deadly mnes
