and college. by the leaders of Scout
troops.

LIBERTY LOAN
NUMBER TWO
Boy Scouts of America Pre-.
pairing For Definite Part
in Second Campaign

The Chief Scout Executive of the
Boy Scouts of America was recently
invited to participate in a conference
at the headquarters of the Liberty
Loan Committee, when II was made
clear that the Treasury Department
and all those concerned throughout
the country in. the promotion of the
second liberty loan would expect the
Boy Scouts of America to take IL
definite part in the second liberty
loan.
While it is impossible ut this time
10 give any details with reference TO
the next loan, it seems to he the
consensus of opinion that the Boy
Scouts of America should undertake
20 do exactly as they did in the first
loan.

There will be some modification
in the size. and form of the printed
matter and the method of distribu-
ton, but in all other respects the
details VIII be practically the same
as in the first campaign.
All Scout officials are urged to
mobilize their troops without delay
and with the aid of the material in
the June 1st issue of Scouting
definitely plan the most effective
method of reaching the largest
number of people and securing the
greatest number of subscriptions 20
the second liberty loan.
Judging from the claims filed for
war service emblems. more than ten
thousand boys will receive such
emblems. Sales amounting to over
twenty millions of dollars have been
definitely reported through the ef-
forts of members of the Boy Scouts
of America. Over 10000 Individual
were secured.

British War Savings

We are now little past the beginning of the Thrift campaign corresponding to the War Savings cam paign in Great Britain which had it's definite begin ming last October. our campaign in which it is eN- pected to raise $2 900 OOO 900 the current the daily or weekly savings of the people is modelled closely after the British plan which gives promise of success These certificates of various denominations 10 e5O are issued but the unit is e1 corresponding n our S5 certificate These certificates in this country may be bought to the amount of $1OO
 The war stamp feature of our Thrift plan has no corresponding feature in the British plan It Is though after al only provision for more gradual way of obtaining the $5 war certificate
 The work in the United Kingdom Is being carfleu on v about 4o 900 associations which up october 27 had sold 25595597 certificates It was estimated that the total sales for the month would reach leqO8225s These certificates like bonds, are sold on the instament plan and to the end of october z OOO 900 had been paid in These bonds also called war savings certificates also sold through the post office through which half of the total cash receipts came in.
 The British war savings certificates bear 50 interest instead of 4eo as do. The campaign for the sale of them includes various means to enlist the attention of the people such air lectures fIms etc Patriotic shopkeepers also reminding shop pers that whatever else they may buy for Christmas gifts they should buy war savings bond
 The thing especially pointed out and the thing not yet adequately understood in Great Britain much less in this country is that this is unusual war It 8 not a battle between fighting men of different na- tons but every battle is between the civilian populations of the nations at Nor is it a war in which any citizen employ substitute to discharge his duties as a civilian a soldier. The duties of no man. whatever they may be, can be performed by no one but himself these duties measured only by the abilities of the performers. There is something great or small to be done by a by every man, woman and child All must save. Some only food but millions can money much or little and place it at the service of the government
 And saving is not sacrifice All will in the end be better it morally and materially The posessor of an American a British savings certificate at the end of the will have something of subsan ual value that he otherwise would not have had. So the possessor of even stamp book will be that much richer.

TEACHERSDROP
 SCHOOL PLACES
 FORF|ELD WORK

Believing that the law of supply and demand is becoming too great in pro- portion to the salary of the average school teacher. Professors James R. Wilson and H. C. Ganbee. of the Phoe nix Union high school, have rendered their resignations, which have been ac- cepted, and will hereafter turn their at tentions to tilling the soil.
 The two former pedagogues have formed company and have bought 16O acres of land. one mile south of Lib- erty, and have also rented an adjoin- ing so acres. Besides this they have purchased a Moline tractor with which they will blow their land and put it into shape for next seasons crops. The tractor has already been unloaded at Buckeye. The men plan to put about 150 acres of the land into cotton and the remainder to wheat and barley. They hope next year to be able to put the entire ranch into cotton.
 MT. Wilson and Mr. Gambee were re- leased from their positions Friday and, although they will superintend the ranch immediately. they will not move their families to the new location until the first of next year. Several build ings are on the ranch purchased and a few improvements will be made or them before they will be occupied.
 It was with the greatest reluctance that the school board accepted the resignatiOns of these two highly valued teachers. MT. Wilson entered the local high school as an instructor in science and it was through his influence that the first year science classes have been

The following letter was received by Mrs. T. w Watson, 1344 West Fay Tor street, from her nephew, Bly Wood who is in army service at Fort Bliss The letter is of interest TOT MT. Wood is we'll known in Phoenix, having lived here >everal years:
 Dear Aunt:
 received your kine letter and also the box of good things to eat. I sure enjoyed the jelly and that war cake was fine. You asked if l needed any thing. No, dear aunt, l have no wants, only to see your face but guess that is impossible for six months at least. l thought 1 was going to get to come home Christmas but am afraid not. You know I was made cook, on Oc- tober l. and am supposed to serve one year before l can get a furlough. l am very comfortably situated. There are two other cooks besides myself and we have two small houses, about by s feet in size. We have plenty of bed ding. They furnish three blankets apiece for us and, with our overcoats spread on our beds, we sleep very warm. The houses provided are the regular tent houses, with wood floors and I believe they all have stoves.
 l cook one day and am off day. I bought some shoe tools and SC, repair shoes the days 1 am. not on duty l have surprised myself with the amount of work I get, have done just S60.15 worth of work this month, and have about S13 of work on hand. But I don't make much as leather is so high. S1.15 a pound. I get $1 for soles nailed on and sl.25 where they are sewed on. l 1 pay 10 per cent to the company for I collecting my bills, so you see I only make about 35 cents on a dollar but would get homesick if I didn't keep busy. l have been working nights but believe I will quit it as ;ne light is so poor
 We get up at o'clock in the morning and make hot cakes and mush. Our company is about 150 strong and they sure eat. It takes p pounds of flour S pounds of sugar, dozen eggs and F ponds of baking powder to make cakes for breakfast. That makes eight cakes apiece Our Thanksgiving dinner was the hardest work have done since l have been in the army. l think wher it is all over with, will take your cake l anu q cup OL ilDl CuOCOIdt6 anu SO Oul under tree and call that my Thanks giving dinner l don't think 1 will be able to look a piece of turkey in tho face again.

ARIZONA DRAF I
 COST PER MAN
 LESS THAN S8

Less than $S per man was the cost of selecting the first quota of men in Arizona for the national army and in delivering them to the railroad for transportation to the training camps.
 This cost. as compared with the cost returned from B of the 4S states. shows that Arizona has kept her per capita expense well down and is far below that of many of the states.
 In a report of the per capita cost of selecting the first quota of men for the national army received at headquarters in Phoenix, attention is called to the high cost in some of the states and another appeal is made for economy. to be attained mainly by -uncompensated service.
 Nevada is alone in the record of returning no expense whatever in the work of selecting her quota for the new army. All of the expense was absorbed in that state.
 Following is the per capita cost of selecting the men for the national army in B states No eXpense-Nevada.

established on a firm footing. From two one-period classes, the first year science has been enlarged to five two period classes. The science includes a larger range of work than formerly, a large part of which is field work. During the past year MT. Wilson had his class room renovated, modern desks and equipment were installed, the min eral case equipped and many beautiful and instructive pictures were hung on the walls. MT. Wilson is the author of science manual which he will com plete within the next few weeks, and which will be in the hands of the pub fishers soon. This manual is to be used in connection with the Snyder
 text, permission for same being ob-
 tained from the publishers. and will be
 a fitting remembrance left in the school.
 Mir Gambee has handled the agricul- ,tural classes in the school for the past three years. The fact that he has been appointed the head of the sheep de- partment of the state fair for the past two years speaks well for his eff cency. MT. Gambee inaugurated an egg laying contest last winter which proved to be great success. A bigger contest was planned for this year, but whether it will be held now is not yet | known.
 Appointments have not been made to ! fill the positions vacated but the sci ence classes will be handled by the other science teachers for the present. l The agricultural classes will be dis
 continued until next semester.

GREAT WORK IS

 GREAT NEW ARMY

In the great mass of information that flows into headquarters of the Arizona Council of Defense is much that has to do with the organization of the immense forces that are being gathered for overseas service.
 The beginning of winter finds the work of training going on at full blast in hundred camps and stations
 Not far from half of the total num- Der of men training are encamped in the big National army cantonments In these the United States has 16 new cities, each as large as Sacramento or New Britain, or Davenport or Macon. Sixteen camps, nearly as big as the cantonments. but not built so durably, are housing the National guard divi- siOns
 Two hundred and -;lty thousand men have joined the regulars since the war broke out There are seventeen regu- lar army stations and camps being used for the training of these recruits
 Seventeen stations are engaged in training men for the navy, and marines are being turned out in three more
 Not all, the aviation fields have been finished-but in dozen of them cool headed young men are being taught to fight in the air.
 
 the second increment of officers for the reserve corps.
 Five medical camps are in operation, and three camps for engineers.
 In population the camps range from 300 to AT, 900. The men in a flying camp may know one another as men | know one another in a small college. ] One of the larger cantonments, on the 1 other hand. contains more men than can be crowded into the Polo grounds
 Living conditions in the camps may not be quite up to the top of the high American standard. But no large army of soldiers was ever housed so con- fortably before. There will be nc Freezing this winter. Four of the can comments situated farthest north have steam heat. The rest have to put ul with hot air systems. But an Ameri- can army spent a winter at Valley Forge once without even a hot-air sys. tenn
