Last Saturday night, May 18th the Danley-Greer saW-mill was burned to the ground. It is thought that some fire from the furnace getting out was the start ing of the fl re. The loss is es- timated at about $2000. % Messers. Greer and Danley will immediately install another out fit and be ready for business soon but in the meantime they will take care of their customers with the other mill which is situated near Greer. Ariz.
 The many friends of John s. Allen will be glad to learn that he has returned to St. Johns. John has been at Palo Verde for the past year where he has been teaching school. We are inform ed that he has come to stay.
 Several volunteers from Spring erville and Edgar passed through town Tuesday among them were Bruce Lesueur. Sam Day, Elmer D. Rinehart, and s. B. Booths stepson.

AFew Facts.

A short time ago the writer was asked to make an address defend
 ing the Mormon people from the
 slanderous attack made by some
 people that the 'MormonS were ignorant and non-progressive. "
 To prove the statement untrue 1
 used a great many concrete.
 specific examples. Perhaps the
 most effective proof was a few
 facts and figures showing what my home town has done in the matter of education-the last ten or twelve years. Quitting men, tion of the educational work being carried on within the town itself l quote the figures as follows:
 My home town has sent to the Brigham Young University and
 other Utah Schools, in the last twelve years, averaging wO years each, thirty four students at a cost of $400 a year each. The total is $27, 200. We have sent nine to Chicago schools in the last five years, twoyears each at a cost of $7O0 years, total $12.600. To the Northern Ari- zona Normal School we have sent seventeen students in the last five years, two years each, $500 year, total $10,2 200. To other Arizona schools we have sent five students two years each, $500 per year, total $3000. To California schools in the last eight years we have sent eleven students, $400 per student for two years, total $500. We have sent into the mis- sionary field twenty elders in the last ten years, two years each, $500 per year, total $12,0O The grand total spent for ed ucation by the people of my home town in the last twelve years, is $73, 800. These figures are extremely conservative.
 I very much doubt if there is a non-Mormon town in the United States, of equal population, that is doing more for the education of its people than is shown by the foregoing record of our little Mormon town of St. Johns, Ari- zona.

Editor St. Johns H. ala,

St. Johns, Arizpna Dear Sir:-In looking over th, minutes of the board of super visors, it appears to me that there is some discrimination in the matter of the Out Door relief money as some of the dependents are receiving $30.OO per month while others are only receiving from $500 to $15.00 per month. Now while the Out Door relief principle is just and reasonable and one in which no reasonable taxpayer will find fault, it ap- pears to some of us who are not in close touch with county affairs, that somebody is trying to play cheap politics with the peoples money.
 Very respectfully,
 ONE OF THE ALLIES.

The Terms of the Liberty Loan.

The act authorizing the Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 was passed April A, 1917. It provides for the issuance of $5,000, 900 of 8 % bonds, the interest payable semi annually on December 15 and June 15 of each year. The principal is repayable on or after the 18th day of June, 1882, at the option of the Government, and if this option is not exercised the bonds will run full 30 years and become due June 15, 1946.
 The bonds are exempt both as to principal and interest from all taxation, national, State. county, or municipal, except the inherit ance tax, which is really not a tax on the property, but on the trans fer of property by will or inherit ance.
 The bonds are to be sold at par; that is, dollar for dollar, no pre- mium and no discount. They are to be sold by the Treasurer of the United States and by all Federal Reserve banks But all banks. National and State, post offices, and express companies have been designated as agents of the Gov ernment to receive applications for these bonds. It is almost as easy to purchase one of these bonds as it is to get post-office money order.
 It is not necessary to pay cash in full for a bond. One can pay down 20 of the purchase price on application-that is, $1 for $50 bond, $2 for a S100 bond, etc. -18% on July 25, 1917; 20% July 30, 1917; 30% August 15, 1917; and the balance, 3O%, August 30, 1917.

REGISTRATION DAY.

Remember that June the fifth is a national holiday. and made so that all men who have passed their 21st birthday and not their 31st could and would register.
 There is no excuse for not re- gistering; provision being made for sick crippled aliens and ab- sentees; and the burden is on all between the ages named to be registered, and if not done by anyone he is subject to arrest and imprisonment.
 Every person should do his best to notify anyone who may be far away from voting places that he must be there June 5th or pay the penalty.
 It is also urged that all citizens make the day a really memorable occasion, by having patriotic ad- dresses music and parades, honor ing the young men who will be called upon to defend our COun- try.
 Remember you must register June 5th as no certificates can be issued before that date.

ONE OF THE ALLIES.

Frank Allen. former proprietor of Franks Shop and who for the past year or two has been a busy man repairing crippled shoes for the good people of St. Johns left Tuesday morning for Naco to report, for duty in Arizona First. We are informed that his little son Paul has gone to Edgar to make his home with MT and Mrs. c. s. Love while the father is serving his country. The people of St. Johns and the surrounding towns, who know Frank, wish him we'll and hope that at some future time when the war is over that he may return again to St. Johns and to his little son, Paul.
 Ellis Palmer and Jesse Udall left Monday morning for the Gila valley. MT. Udall goes for the purpose of joining his bride-to-be, Miss Lela Lee and together they will go to Salt Lake City where they will be married in the Salt Lake Temple. MT. Palmer went for the purpose of visiting with his parents and relatives in the Salt River valley and also to join his wife who preceded him some weeks ago.
 Gerald Berry, son of MT. and Mrs. W. W. Berry of this city and who has been at Chicago holding down a position in the Corn Exchange bank of Chicago arrived home last Sunday. We are informed that Gerald will of fer his services lo Uncle Sam, right soon. He says that he is not looking for any war but feels that 1t is a duty we owe our country.
 When you become so well acquainted with a man that you think that you know him we'll and are beginning to think that he is a good fellow, let us suggest, that you have him elected to some public position, then you will find according to m e people that you did not know him at all for he will then be one of the D" est scoundrels you ever met with.
 Frank Allen sold at auction his shoe shop last Monday morn ing, Graham Cowley purchased the outfit but later in the day sold it to Mr. Alex. Shreeve who is an old hand at the shoemaking trade. MT. Shreeve will give satisfaction, so if you have crippled shoes don't forget to call on him.
 Mrs. L. s. Hamblin of Edgar who has been here attending her daughter, Mrs. Edward Gibbons for the past two weeks returned to her home last Saturday.

Twilight on the Border.

The sunsets glow is dying.
The clouds are fringed with gold
The evening winds are signing,
The day has grown old.
The sunsets beams have gone to res
And dusk gathered on the lea:
The tired birds have sought Their
nests,
Where. the Rio Grande flows to the
sea-.
The golden moon sheds its pale light
On shadows here and there,
And sounds which break the silent
night
Are waited on the air.
The >moonlight's rays have grown dim
And darkness rules supreme,
The shadows of the night are grim,
A cold and dreary scene.
A crimson thread outlines the grey,
The cocks crow loud and clear,
A cow bell tingles far away,
And dawn at last is here.
