Draft Men Can Enlist
Navy Aviation Corps

According to an order received
from Washington recently at the
U, S. Navy Recruiting Head
quarters, 301 Spreckels building,
San Francisco, CAL, the U. S.
Navy Aviation Corps has immedi-
ate need of men for service in its
Notifying branches and eligible
draft men, who are not needed
for immediate quotas by their
local draft boards, will be per-
mitted to enlist in the aviation
service after December 18th, and
up until the time they are called
by the local boards.
The type of men that are
needed are mainly mechanics,
blacksmiths. machinists, quarter
masters, carpenters and copper
smiths, and particularly men
with a knowledge of flying ma
chimes. That these men are
urgently needed is made plain by
the fact that they will be given
immediate service, going into
training at the naval training sta
tions at once. Some of these men
will be sent to Pensacola, Florida,
some of them to Bay shore, Long
Island, New York, while others
will be attached to the Naval Air
Station at San Diego, Cal. These
men will be required for ground
work only, and will not be per-
mitted to enter the flying branch
of the service later on. This is
because the Navy recognizes that
the man on the ground, the man
on whom depends the mechanical
perfection of the aeroplanes, is
too important to be switched
from his place after he has re-
ceived his training and has be-
come highly efficient.
Men who enlist in the aviation
corps have unusual opportunity
for advancement. No service
time limit restricts them, but
advancement depends entirely
upon personal qualifications.
Men may enlist in the aviation
corps at any Navy Recruiting
Station.

Extending War
Time Agriculture

Arizona, Montana and Wyom-
ing Indian Reservations are to be
called upon for 112, 900 additional
acres Of irrigable land and so, :
900 more acres of dry-farming
lands during 1918, according to
plans announced by Secretary
Lane of the Interior Department.
The Arizona Defense Council
has been advised that the secre-
tary has asked congress for an
appropriation of 81, 10000 for
the purchase of seed and agricul-
tural implements and for other
expense connected with the pro-
posed development Of national
resources.
In Arizona this especially affects
the Pima reserve on the Gila and
the Mohave reserve on the Col
orado, near Parker. On both
large acreages are to be planted
to cotton and foodstuffs for the
benefit of the nations wartime
needs and the incidental profit
of the Indians.
The Secretary finds that about
100, 900 acres on reclamation pro-
jects, lands heretofore unused,
may be added to the cultivated
area next year, possibly aided by
congressional action that will ad-
vance funds to the settlers af-
fected.

GRAZING ON INDIAN LANDS
To helm ont cattlemen and assis

To help out cattlemen and assist
with keeping a home supply of
meat for the mining districts,
the Arizona Chapter, A. M. c.,
took up with the Indian depart
ment the matter of permitting
cattle to Craze on Indian lands,
with the result that the Indian
department has written that
cattlemen shall see Indian lands
superintendents and get leases or
permits to put cattle on. This
reverses the previous attitude Of
the Indian department and if
carried out will save many thous.
ands of cattle from starving.

THE GRAHAM GUARDIAN /
WISHES You
A MERRY CHRISTMAS
We HAVE NOT FAILED, BUT

There is no question about the
patriotism of the people of Gra-
ham county in everything they
have been called upon to do by
our government.
We have not only done our
duty as American citizens in buy
ing Liberty Bonds, but we have
worked successfully for the Y.
M. C. A. War Fund, the Ameri-
can Red Cross, the Soldiers Out-
side Recreation Fund and during
the past week we have helped
materially in making the big
drive for new members for the
American Red Cross grand
success.
We have not failed in our pa
triotic duty in everything we
have been called upon to do. and
we will continue to do our full
share Of the work, especially in
those things asked of US by the
Food Administration.
But
Now that we have adopted two
meatless days every week. a
wheatless day and baconless
breakfasts, and we are using
less sugar and animal fat
We observe these things
The adoption of two meatless
days to save beef cattle for our
soldiers in France and our allies
has produced the result of no
market for our beef cattle, and
if the present drouth keeps up,
there will be no beef cattle to
ship out for our soldiers and
allies, in which event our meat
less days will have accomplished
nothing beneficial.
Our wheat ess day is producing
the result expected by the Food
Administration, and so are our
baconless breakfasts, aud the
conservation of sugar and animal
fats. So far as we know these
things are helpful and easily ac-
complished.
We hope that what we are do
ing in the matter of the conser-
walton of beef, will not result in
a agreat loss to the owners of cattle
in this county and in the State,
and that something will be done
at once to provide the market for
the sale of tetf cattle before the
present drouth kills them off by
starvation.

especially for stomach troubles, bilious

with much success in the treatment of
those diseases. People who have suf.
fered for years with stomach trouble and
have been unable to obtain any perma-

by the use Of these tablets. Chamber
