SPECIAL BLANKS FOR RE-
CORDING.

The resolution passed by the joint
houses Of congress relative to the
elimination Of assessment for min
ng claims for the years 1917-18 has
caused many prospectors to wonder
just what the process should be in
properly filing and recording their
intention to hold the claim. The
resolution stated that the claimant
must file notice of his desire to hold
said claim under this resolution on
or before December 81 of each Of the
years.
The Arizona state bureau of mines
in anticipation Of this possible con-
fusion on the part of the prospector,
has issued special blanks for this
purpose. These may be obtained by
writing C. F. Willis. Director, Ari-
zona State Bureau of Mines.

ARIZONA IS
TOP-NOTCH
WHY WE SHOULD BE justly
PROUD OF OUR GREAT AND
GLORIOUS STATE AND HER
BOUNTIFUL RESOURCES.

Never in the history OF Arizona
have the people enjoyed such pros
perity. This state has steadily ad-
vanced even in spite of efforts made
to block the road to progress We
are proud of our production from
the fields Our fragrant hay, our
golden fields of grain, our green fields
of alfalfa and our snowy fields OF
cotton. One can hardly picture
more beautiful combining of color
the gold. the green, the white-and
over all sky Of wOndrous blue.
Little wonder we created stir at
Peoria, ILL.,, with our products Of the
soil, and little wonder we won blue
ribbons. How the eyes of the east
must have opened to see the fine dis
play of almonds. olives, figs, dates,
oranges. grapefruit and lemons from
Arizona. Our soil Is coming into
Its own. 1t Is never idle, never
asleep under blanket of snow, but
Is working all the time, and when
there is family on every ten acres
in the Salt River Valley, new era
will begin in agriculture and won
derful variety of fruits and vege
tables will be sent to eastern markets
when Jack Frost is king in that Sec
tion Of the country.
We are pround of our lumber.
We have the largest uncut forest in
the United States, which, when pro-
tected by the forestry laws will pro-
vide an endless supply of lumber.
Railroads are just entering our coal
fields. We do not even know what
we have in this line of wealth. We
have silver and gold mines and we
are thankful to say to Old Mr.. Kai-
ser, eve have copper mines, and we
. are going to put the copper where 1t
can be transformed into bullets to
send to the boys on the firing line,
who, without bullets are helpless"
Think what Arizona means to Uncle
Sam right now. A garden where,
during the next six months, any
thing and everything can be found
to feed our boys. Where sheep can
be raised for clothing as we'll as food,
and where cattle for meat and leath-
er can be found in great numbers.
With the help of factories and work
ers in the fields, we can feed, clothe
and arm our boys and some day we
will do it.-Taxpayers' Magazine.

HOW TO GET ALONG.

A man who has the happy IA Guilty
OF making other men his friends
gave away the method by whic1 he
accomplishes the result, when he
said, II know there is good in every
man and try to find It," He has
learned how to pass the things he
did not like in a man in silence and
emphasize the things he did like.
If the rest Of us could only learn
how to get along with men that way
the world would be more comfortable
for us. One chief cause Of unhap-
piness is the faculty in us which
finds all the unlikable things in the
other fellow and keeps looking at
them.
1t makes any man uncomfortable
to talk about other people, finding
fault with their shortcomings and
faults. 1t does not do an honest,
earnest man any particular harm to
have the other fellow talk about
him in petty manner, but 1t does
make the man who does the talking
feel real mean.
There is a way to get along COM
fortably with most everyone else.
The secret lies in hunting their good
spots and not their bad spots.

THE KOKOMO TIRE

The Parker Motor company has re-
ceived the exclusive agency of the
famous Kokomo tires and inner tubes
for the district. A large stock of
these tires was received recently,
and they are proving to be extremely
popular with the Parker trade judg-
ing from the numerous sales which
have already been made by the Par
ker Motor company.
1t is claimed that the Kokomo tire
contains more rubber throughout
than any other tire sold in the state.
These tires are sold on a guarantee
of 5000 miles. and anyone examin-
ing q sample of tie Kokomo, at
once pronounces 1t to be the best
tire made for the money.

LACK OF CHARM CAUSE OF
DIVORCE

Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the
great French actress, in a signed ar
ticle in the November issue Of Har-
per's Bazaar, attributes the numerous
divorces that have come into the
courts of late years to lack of charm
in the woman concerned.
IF stood at the threshold of life,
says Nine. Bernhardt, asking of it
something with which to buy happi-
ness, would beg for charm. For
if one has charm, she will be loved.
And woman must have love to be
happy. Beauty does not matter. II
woman has charm she can secure
whatever she wants-loye, success,
power"
But the Divine Sarah also says
that this invaluable quality can be
cultivated. and her prescription in
Harper's Bazaar reveals the secret.

SUGAR SITUATION SERIOUS.

The sugar refineries of the United
States are Joining cordially with the
National Food Administration in the
latter's efforts to provide sugar for
the allies and to keep some of the
sweet material at home and yet see
that the price does not advance In
too large a degree. The domestic
beet and Hawaii cane products are
not sufficient to supply the nation
with sugar and 1t Is probable that the
greatest shortage will come very
soon, before the arrival of the new
Cuban crop. In the meantime, all
the best beet sugar producers of the
country have voluntarily entered
into an agreement, with the Food
Administration that their products
shall be sold at a price not to exceed
S7.25 cane basis at seaboard refining
points. This includes the Pacific
coast, though this decision Is said to
mean less to the California and Ha-
wiian refineries which, for time at
teast, will sell refined sugar for what
the raw sugar costs them. The Food
Administration expects to secure an
agreement with the Cuban govern
ment under which a satisfactory
basis will be established for the raw
Cuban product. The whole matter
has been placed in the hands Of an
international sugar committee of five
members, representing Cuba and the
United States. while G.. A. Spreckels
If New York heads committee of
American refiners.
The sugar consumption Of the
United States Is at the rate of 90
pounds per person year or about
ounces a day. The French people

USELESS GIVING.

Join the spugs," is the latest
economy movement that is spreading
over the entire United States. The
Spugs in its initials stands for the
Society for the Prevention Of Useless
Giving, probably one Of the greatest
extravagances OF the Americai peo-
pie today. One hundred million dol
lars are spent annually in the giving
OF Christmas presents when a card
would serve the same purpose One
hundred million dollars are also
spent in giving Christmas presents
in a reciprocal attitude, and joining
the Spugs means nothing more than
the proper economy in the distribu-
ton of Christmas gifts.
BY the elimination of useless
Christmas giving nothing will be
lost and much will be gained, and it
is movement which should be wide
spread in Europe.
Christmas this year should
only be for our immediate family
and our soldiers and sailors. If you
have no soldier boy or sailor boy In
your immediate family, your oppor-
tunity to give to them for Christmas
is through the Y. M. c. A. army
work or through the Red Cross, the
two ministering angels of our army
and navy. The money spent in
useless Christmas giving would be
more than sufficient for the entire
expenses Of the Y. M. c. A. army
work for year. Thousands Of peo-
pie throughout the United States
have started In the practice of this
economy and it will indeed be g.
common thing to receive instead Of
a Christmas gift this year a card
reading somewhat as follows:
Merry Christmas. Christmas
this year should be for our soldiers
and sailors, and sincerely hope you
have done as l have, giving inan-
cial assistance to the making Christ
mas happy for our soldiers and sail
ors through the Y. M. c. A. army
work and the Red Cross.

MINING REvOLUTIONIZED

Mining not only pays, but pays
we'll, and its earning possibilities are
increasing day by day as better min
ing and treatment methods are
brought into being. Ore that once
would have been regarded by the
miners with profound despair and
cast aside as utterly worthless Is
now being handled by many mines at
a substantial profit. Some of the
most f1ourishing dividend payers In
the west at this time are deriving
their earnings from ore of a grade so
low that in the early days 1t would
have been considered fit only for
cObblestones.
Great have been the achievements
OF science in bringing mining to
point of efficiency that does not lack
much Of reaching 100 per cent re-
suits in many districts. But absolute
perfection Is seldom attained In the
mechanism Of any industry, and min
ing Is no exception. There yet re-
main problems to be solved in the
extraction of higher values from
certain low-grade ores such as are
found in certain camps, ana which
have proved battling to tae most
skilled metallurgists. That these
perplexing problems will ultimately
be solved, as other difficulties have
been, is logically to he expected.
And with the advent Of each scien.
tit1c discovery the speculative phases
of mining grow DINNER. Gradually
the development of a mine has be-
come strictly comm crci,,i under
taking, more nearly Ger, ain to sue
ceed end pay large dividends than
enterprises In almost any line OF
business endeavor.
Mining TODAY Is far aaead of min.
ing in former years as the latest
type ct rife IS an improvement over
the f.nt lock musket deemed so
servA-eable BY our ancestors. In
vestOrs. should realize that within
comparAti, ~ recent times mining
has been revolutionized; 1t is not at
