GENTLEMEN OF FINAL
 FORM ORGANIZATION

Florence, June 13-One of the most important moves for betterment of conditions in stock growing in Pinal county yet made was the organization of Pinal County Cattle Growers association Tuesday night with 22 charter members. This is the second or third attempt to get the cattlemen together in cooperative organiza- tion; however, the success of the or ganization seems now assured.
 The meeting was held at the court house and was called to order by S. o. Thompson, who explained the ob- ject of the meeting which was to form county cattlemen's association which should cooperate with the state association. It was explained that heretofore the cattlemen of Pinal county had no representation in the state association and therefore had no voice in the matter of appointments on the sanitary board or of inspectors. It was also explained that in no line of business in Pinal county was CO., operation more necessary than in the cattle business. Several of the cattle men present spoke encouragingly of the necessity of such an organization with the result that permanent or ganization was affected with T. A. Nicholas, president; M. T. Clemens, vice president, and E. w. Coker, sec retary treasurer. J. H. Zilleweger, Wm. Knight, Wm. Speed were ap- pointed committee on bylaws to re- port at the next meeting to be held in Florence on Saturday, June 30, at which time it is expected that practic- ally every cattleman in Pinal county vii be present.
 Those who were present and took part in the organization of the asso- citation were: Chas. Swingle, Antonio Lopez, "Nick" Meyers, Henry Young, Lee Pool, Winkleman; T. A. Nicholas, Phil Rodondo, Wm. Speed, J. w. An gel, w. McAdie, Vim. Knight, M. c. Clemens, s. o. Thompson, Eugene Shepherd, Jack Hummer, M. s. Plum mer and Cliff Bogard, Florence; J. H. Zelleweger, Kelvin; J. J. Anderson, Hayden Junction; Chas. Class, Red Rock; Tom Dennis, Hayden; Richard Draper, Winkelman.

needed" and is now collecting the money. Chicago will be asked for something between $5,000,000 and 10,000,0O0, the levy based on popula- ton and credit rating.
 MT. o. B. Towne has been appointe l by Washington as director of the Red Cross war fund campaign, for the central division, and will open a drive for the money in nine states as soon as it has been determined just how much he needs.
 The money will be raised by sub scription among the various chapters, and it has been arranged that each chapter shall have one-fourth of what ever sum it raises. Mr Towne hopes that the country will raise enough to give the national organization its full

WORLDS SHORTAGE

Minimum food price agitation is superf1uous, as the producer is assur- ed of remunerative returns by scarcity that empraces the whole world. S. D. Gromer of the Missouri station, dis cussing the subject, says:
 "The wheat crop of the world in 1916 was 25 per cent less than the wheat crop of 1915. Also there was shortage of potatoes, corn, beans and other crops. Because of the war, the demand has been enormously in- creased. From now until October, and after that, if we do not economize what we have and raise a bountiful crop this summer, the world will face the greatest crop shortage that it has faced in decades. At this time the
 situation is doubly critical. We are engaged in the greatest and most de-
 structive war of all history. Our al-
 lies are short of food for several req
 sons. Even in normal times, they
 make heavy importations, but because
 of the war, they have beeen unable to
 produce normal crops.
 linen there is the world shortage,
 and let it be remembered that the
 menace of the German submarine has
 not yet been controlled. It is very
 probable that staple crops will bring
 satisfactory prices for the following
 reasons: When the new crop is har-
 vested, practically all the granaries
 and elevators of the world will be
 empty. Again, our allies will very
 probably ont have normal crop. The
 public press reports that we are to
 lend them from three hundred million to four hundred million dollars a month, practically all of which is to l be expended in the United States. : Further, the United States will spend billions of dollars to equip and main l tain the army and navy. Congress has already appropriated in one bill l nearly four times the assessed value of Missouri, and it may be that this , is but drop in the bucket Nearly r all of this amount will be expended for tangible goods or services. Is it ) not reasonable then that there will be } work for everybody on the farm, in the workshop, in transportation, in } the army and navy and in civil life : It would seem that this is to be a period of tremendous activity at good wages and remunerative prices for all products. The farmer has a double } responsibility. If our allies are ) starved out, the brunt of the struggle , will fall on us. The farmer mus. produce and save this year enough to : feed not only ourselves, but our allies. ,,+lf we succeed in winning the war, the } world will probably be democracized, and there will be good prospects of it's
 disarming and great wars may cease"

JAG COSTLY ASIDE
 FROM BOOZE PRIZE

The price of a drink is high in Prescott, even leaving out the cost of the prime necessity, booze. A new scale of wages, even higher than the famous Miami, is in effect in the court of Justice of the Peace McLane.
 When two obviously drunk and dis orderly citizens were haled before the magistrate yesterday, he decided that the circumstances warranted action. So he got it, at the rate of $50 per drunk. M. Marley paid his $50, W. E. Mead could not find the ready cash, so he was remanded to the custody of the sheriff, to work out the fine at the usual rates.--Journal Miner.

 The money is necessary to keep up the supplies and equipment of the base hospitals, and for relief work in war.

Do You Know Him?

In every small town there is a crank man who opposes ev-. cry movement that is started up, no matter what it is If it is good roads he opposes it; if it is Food Pro- duction Campaign" he opposes if, and if it is revival he opposes that too. He wants to tear down, and you know one knoeker or crank can tear down more in a day than dozen wokrers can build up in a month. Now there is only two things that can be done with this class of individuals, namely. either hang them or give them what they want for they pay but little atten- ton to criticism. But the wise peo- pie, that is the people who have met with all sorts and conditions of men, never attempt to hang these men. Neither do they give them anything or offer any criticisms. They merely give them the rope and a hanging, self-inilicted, soon takes place. For so fast does the world move that wide-awake people have no time 10 listen to the whines of a DOWN-AND-DUT
