Flagstaff Potatoes

The people of Phoenix and of all Arizona should insist upon having Flagstaff potatoes and other kind to supplement the local production. They should upon that for several the first being nat those potatoes are better than any get from California any point outside the state and that that appeals self-interest. For patriotic also should the northern potatoes the patriotic people of Coconino county answered the call for greater food production and planted greatly increased acreage to potatoes 31OO acres or fourhs of the potato acreage of the state.
 By Flagstaff potatoes we mean the potatoes from any of the northern counties Navajo, Apache arAl Yavapa the great potato field is Coconino. These potatoes are only quality they will keep well

 Wall street was betting the other day early peace: that betting that of the Ameri- can soldiers in training would be sent the ocean. But Val street presumably knows nothing more about it than the rest of us.

 As the strategists explain it, both Great Britain and France when the began plunged all their sources into the struggle without reckoning the future They found that under the plan of stalking everything few months there danger that the resources of the allies would soon be exhausted. They then began to make all preparations on two- year basis. Thus year ago they began prepare another years of This year they preparing for years And if the should last until next year they will again plan for another two years.

Any of may very well doubt whether socialism will result from the any than whether racy will result from it. Methods employed the conduct of the that smack of either boh And they methods which promise the most It-is when fall back upon old democratic methods that We now observe their weakness and ineffciency.
 But the reasons advanced by Golfers why cislism will not be sequel of the war, however do not appear sound or reasonable Golfers states that the government has been compelled to do many things in the that it will do after the war; that did many things in the civil that we abandoned when the war was ended.
 It is true for instance that our draft law which is a purely war measure will not be employed when the war over; with great tax measures; so. with the activity of munition factories and hundred other things directly related to the war purely measures whose operations will end with the war.

 The exhibits of fish are divided into the "desirables' and the "undesir- ables,' those that furnish the best food with the least exertion of bone picking and those that are not cannibals and have good habits
 The collection of animals at the fair Is an excellent nucleus for a zoo, and It has been suggested by MT Prochas- ka, the state game warden, that this eXhlbt be preserved, placed in a good location and added to from time to l tune by the city until a credible zoo mas been secured, The Rotary club has offered assistance in securing d home for the collection until such time IS the city can take charge of it and house if properly.

each, which will be stationed in va
rious towns and cities. Uniforms of
