Upon the farmer rests in large
measure the final responsibility of
winning the war. The impor.
tance to the nation Of an ade.
quate food supply, especially for
the present year, cannot be over
emphasized. The worlds food
reserve is very low. Not only
our own consumers, but much of
the world at large, must rely
more completely than ever before
upon the American farmer.
Therefore, the man who tills the
SOIL and supports the soldier in
the field and the family at home,
is rendering as noble and patriot.
ic service as is the man who bears
the brunt of the battle.
The American farmer has long
shown his ability to produce more
food per man, and at a lower cost
per unit than any other farmer
in the world, but he has never
had to do his best. He needs to
do his best now. This is not the
time in which to experiment with
new and untried crops and pro
cesses. 1t is very important that
the farmer devote his principle
efforts to the production of such
crops and the employment of
such methods as are well estab.
lished and as are likely to yield
the maximum in food and cloth.
ing material.
Within the next sixty days the
final measure of crop acreage and
food production for this year will
have been established. The i'm.
portance is urged Of an Immedi-
ate mobilization Of all available

Departments of Agriculture ard
the Colleges of Agriculture in
cooperating with the press, the
banks, the commercial organiza-

CALLED FOR
EXAMINATION.
THE MEN DRAWN IN SELECTIVE
DRAFT INSTRUCTED TO RE-
PORT IN YUMA AUG. 10, II,
AND 13.-MANY CAN'T PAY
RAIROAD FARES.

| Notices have been sent out to the
| first 180 men drawn in Yuma county
| in the selective draft, requesting
them to appear at the court house
in Yuma on August 10, IL, and 13,
for examination. Sixty are to re-
port on the 10th, sixty on the 18th
and sixty on the 18th.
The boys drawn from Parker and
other towns in northern Yuma coun-
ty will be under heavy expense in
making the trip to Yuma, owing to
the distance to be travelled. Several
Of them, it is said, are without funds,
and have no means to make the trip,
except to walk.
Efforts have been made to have
the government or state pay the ex-
penses of some of the men from
this end of the county, in order that
they may report for examination,
but it is understood that this can
not be done.
A request was made by number
OF the boys to have the board send
it's examiners to Parker, where all
those residing in northern Yuma
county could come for examination
at very little expense. 1t is reported
that this request was also turned
down, and it appears that the only
recourse for those without funds is
to await the visit of the sheriff, who
will no doubt hunt them up In case
| they do not report in Yuma on the
dates named.
Following is the official list of
those drawn from Parker and other
towns in this end of the county who
come within the first 180 ordered
for examination:
1185-Alexander Wilson, Swansea.
1237-Ray Perkins, Parker.
604-Richard A. Lacy, Parker
514-Harold J. Hinckley, Swansea.
1236-Thomas oliver, Parker.
1099-Roy Allen Sylvester, Parker.
1972-Gregoria Rodriguez, Parker.
757-Ralph w. Milliken, Parker.
542-Richard E. Hume, Parker.
870-Delfn B. Oliveres, Wenden
549-John G. Irving, Midway.
1022-Enich Sellberg, Wenden.
841-Lyman A. Newton, Planet
1217-John A. Zehring, Midway.
128-Cecil w. Brown, Swansea.

girl paid her fine Monday and de-
parted for Los Angeles. Irene had
been engaged in business in Parker
until she was taken into custody at
Swansea on a charge of bootlegging

OFFICERS RECOVER SALARIES

Judge Baxter has handed down a
decision in the somewhat famous
county salary case, in which James
T. Hodges sued Yuma county for sal
airy alleged to be due him when he
was county recorder and for salaries
for the various other Yuma county
officials on the same basis. The total
amount prayed for is $4,000 or more.
The salaries of the county officials
were not raised at the time the coun-
ty went into a higher classification
because of the increased value of the
assessment, and it is this amount
that the officials sued to recover, as
signing their cases to Mr.. Hodges
1t is more than probable the case will
be taken to the supreme court for the
reason that there are many intricate
law points involved.

GERMAN AEROPLANES MAY BE
IN ARIZONA.

Whether enemy airplanes havebeen

that is reported to be engaging fed

representatives of the department Of
Justice and army officials from Fort
Douglas were investigating the situ-
ltiOn.
These reports were said to have
been confirmed in part by dispatches

seen mysterious aircraft south of the

According to the report from Salt

and then plunged head-first into
the water. Meanwhile all the other
Indians had gathered around the
fire, throwing many costly articles
thereon as sacrifices, and finally, in
the extremity of their zeal, tearing
ing their wearing apparel from
their person and casting it into the
flames with reckless abandon, each
going home as naked (save for a
prudential "gee-string") as Adam
and Eve ever dared to when they
trod the Garden of Eden after having
fallen from grace.
Just what all these ceremonial de-
tails mean is a mystery. Replying
to a request for enlightenment on
this score, Dan Lamar, an intelligent
Mohave, said that the sum and
substance of it all was a design to
confuse the devil" If that is it,
then the ceremony was certainly a
success, for it was enough to not
only confuse" the devil himself but
all the imps in hell combined.
However, as Dan is said to be the
only Indian on the reservation posses
sing a vein of humor, it is very like
ly that this reply was craftily given
more to confuse than to enlighten
the inquisitive, pale-faced devil
who had the brazen temerity to pry
into their Masonic secrets.
1t is said that with the passing of
the older members of the tribe this
annual cry" is rapidly becoming
obsolete and that this will, in all
will be heard on this reservation.

carloads of ore are now going out
