CHICAGO, Nay 11.-"Professor"
Charles Haase, E. /. F., specialist in
the destruction OF the hemipteran and
heteropteran orders, has revealed him
self as the only man who Is working
for the city OF Chicago for love.

himself to be one of the greatest puri.

IS wheat Predicted.

Although the Government report on
winter wheat suggests that even with
a normal spring wheat crop the total
harvest will be barely enough for our
own needs, based upon the average
consumption OF recent years, interests
in the produce markets assert that
the allies are buying up all Immediate
and future wheat contracts now for
sale In the United States. It Is due
more to this foreign buying than to
domestic speculative operations that
the prices for the May option and for
the cash product have advanced to
record-breaking figures, which many
observers believe will be materially
exceeded in the weeks to come. In
certain quarters IS wheat IL predict
ed, while there are some dealers who
insist that as much as SO and 81 will
be paid before the end OF the current
season. And still there are grain men
who assert that present prices are
not warranted by the crop outlook
and the probable demand in the fu-
ture, a reflection OF their belief being
found in their unwillingness to make
contracts at prevailing prices. II was
said yesterday that there was more
wheat in the Canadian Northwest
than could be cleared from North
American ports before August, when
our new crop will be coming on the
market.

According to Mrs. Hayes her son
was one OF three students who were

others was Harry walker. a classmate
of Bullock. Mrs. Hayes declared that
her son had not been In good health
for several days prior to March 10,
but was able to pursue his studies-
She recalled that upon his return
from the college the day he was taken
into the fraternity he complained OF

TO FENCE OUT WEEVILS
Georgia Planter Has New Plan to
Protect Cotton.

SAVANNAH. Ga. May a ].
Strickland, of VaIdostA, has given a
contract to Ed Hinson for a new idea
In the matter OF protecting cotton
from the boil weeviI. He is TO have a
field OF ten acres inclosed in a seven
foot screen fence, guaranteed to stand
ten years, at a cost OF $4,000.
Strickland says II Is an experiment,
but he hopes that II will prove sue
cesAfuI. He is OF the belief that the
wseyils do not fly very high and that
a sevsn-foot screen will keep practi-
cally all Of them out OF the field. He
believes that IL the weevils can be
kept out he can make a fine cotton
crop on the ten acres and will be well
repaid for his expense.
He figures that on a small field the
screen may prove OF value, but does
not believe that a large field would be
protected so well. The fence will be
put up At once

IT'S EvERYBODY'S JOB

Are we tango Hazards and male manicures" as some cynical German has contemptuously dubbed the Amer ican people?
 Of course we're not. But the man who is able to do so and refuses to buy Liberty Bond, who dodges his obligations by snorting "Let the big fellow do it" isn't far from earning the title. It is up to all the people to show that Uncle Sam and all of Uncle Sam's nephews and nieces have em- parked upon this war earnestly and seriously and above all--unitedly.
 For this isn't asrich mans war. Not for America, it isn't, whatever the kings and princelets and the ''big fel- low' of Europe may be fighting for. We do not hunger for another's lands nor thirst for conquest. For us it is a war for the sacred principle of dem- ocracy, for freedom, for future safety and the end of war. It is a war for all the people and that its ends may succeed it must be waged by all the people.
 Uncle Sam has stepped in to set the world aright, and if the task is to be we'll done and quickly done evtry loyal citizen musa do his part. All of us can't serve in the first line trenches, but all can answer the call of duty. And today's impertive call is to loan to the nation, which is ourselves, our accumulated or future savings on ab- solute security. It isn't much to ask. It doesn't call for great sacrifice. AL most everybody can afford to buy at least one bond on the installment we will show our German critics that we are not slackers, not wasters, not always careless and frivolous, not tango Hazards and male manicures" if you please, but a great united peo- pie, each willing to do his part, loyal and earnest and faithful to the cause of democracy.
 Let the big fellow do it? No!
 Let us, all the people, do it!
 Today is the last day.

ANOTHER POTATO STORY


 Dr. E. S. Miller sent box of pota- toes, specimens of Coconino county products to MT. Roskruge and yester- day received the following letter: Tucson, Ariz, June 5, 1917 Dr. E. s. Miller:--
 My Dear Doctor,
 The taters arrived in good condi- ton, as soon as received the package from the post office and saw your name on the cover I shook it and said "thems taters." Now comes the rub. Wife wants tNsell them and buy Liberty Bonds".I want her to invest in diamonds but we don't care to have such low priced stuff around the house. After weighing the matter, also the potatoes, the matter pro and con and the potatoes in the letter scales, we came to the conclusion that as they were not enough to feed the United States army, including the Flagstaff Company of the National Guards that we would sell them, the potatoes not the N. c. The Rifle Company will turn out at the Elks parade on the 14th. Maybe will wear one of the tubers on my hat, but then that might cause a riot. Wife sug- gests that We put them in a glass case and exhibit them at so much head for the benefit of the Red Cross, but then the Tucson share is only to be S25,000.00 and we have over half that amount collected and promised now. The potatoes weighed very near the one pound mark, and we assure you when eaten by the Roskruge family will be duly appreciated and the doner kindly remembered.
 Hurrah for Flagstaff and the good people who live there. Long may they live and prosper, may health and happiness be theirs, and while the balance of the world is raising Hell, may they continue peace and security to raise Potatoes"
 Sincerely yours,
 GEORGE J. ROSKRUGE.

MENACE OF FOREST FIRES
GREATEST IN MANY YEARS.

Pierre, July 26.-Fire danger,
both prairie and forest. is more
acute at present than it has been for
several past years is reported by the
forest service and during the past
three weeks the expense incurred in
fighting fires in the Black Hills falls
but little short of the total amount
spent during the whole preceding
year. One of the most common
causes of the forest fires. and one
which is also purely a matter of neg
.ligence, is the fire caused by throw
ing away cigaret stubs or cigars. and
this seems to be done chiefly by per
sons in autos. who throw away such
stubs, not realizing the result.
Several severe losses have lately
been avoided only through the very
quick work of the lookout stations in
getting out in a car and rushing 10
