AMERICA'S CAUSE FOR WAR.

''The military masters of Ger many denied us the right to be neutral. They filled our com munities with vicious spies and conspirators. They sought to corrupt our citizens.
 They sought by violence to destroy our industries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incite Mexico to take up arms against us and to draw Japan into hostile alliance with her. They impudently denied us the use of the high seas and repeat edly executed their threat that they would send to their death any of our people who ventured to approach the coasts of Flu rope.
 ''This flag under which we serve would have been dishou- cured had we withheld our hand. " Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States.

 MAGAZINES.

Postmaster General BurleSon has made arrangements to keep the soldiers of the United Sta teS, who are now in Trance, supplied with reading matter; according edrby the postmaster.
 In all the largest postofices of the, country there are quantities of literature which continually accummulates,a and heretofore the magazines and periodicals have been burned as the only means -of getting them off the govern ment's hands.
 Since the United States has sent it's soldiers over to France, the men have been demanding English reading literature, and henceforth the reading material that has been collecting in the different postofficeS over the Un- tied States will be forwarded to the soldiers free of charge.
 It has been urged by the Post master General that the citizens of the United States help keep up the morale and spirit of the soldiers at the front by sending over to France the magazines and other reading articles of in terest that would otherwise be destroyed
 The amount that it requires to send magazine to France un- der these conditions is one cent. No name or address is necessary The government will see that the magazines get to France and into the hands of Uncle Sam's boys.

NO MORE HONOR PRISONERS

The honor system at the Ariz- ona state prison has been abol- ished and trustworthy prisoners will hereafter be required to serve their full time within the taken by the state board of paroles and pardons.
 The abolishment of the honor system came as a result of a communication from Attorney General Wiley B. Jones, ad- dressed to Superintendent An derson of the prison, in which the former stated that honor pri- soners were enjoying freedom illegally and that action must be taken immediately to return the same. Unless you follow these instructions I can and will start mandamus proceedings to return these men," the communication stated.
 On being notified of the attor- ney generals act, Gov. Thomas B. Campbell gave instructions to call in all honor prisoners, many of whom had enjoyed comparative freedom for many months.
 At the time these orders were issued, there were 23 honor pri- soners, 19 of whom had been re- leased by former Warden Sims and four of whom are enjoying liberty as a result of the efforts of present Superintendent An derson.

Tucson Stacker Has Every Wish.

When the youth of Pima coun- ty was called to register. Wm. M. Weitzel, husky brakeman of the Southern Pacific, was report ed to have said he would like to see them force him to register.
 When the draft was made, he was reported to have said, he would like to see them draft him. In fact, according to some people in town, Weitzel would like to see a lot of things hap pen to him. Among them he would like to see any United States marshal arrest him.
 When Weitzel finished his trip from Lordsburg about 9:3O last night, a tall rather tired look ing middle aged man approach ed him, as Weitzel started to hit out for a wash up.
 Isn't your name Weitzel?" he asked friendly like.
 Yes, ,''," said Weitzel, "Why?"
 Why" said the stranger, we want you"
 Thus everything happened to Weitzel that according to his friends, he had wished. Yet, in the county jail where he was taken charged with being a stacker by Deputy United States Marshal Treahy, he was unhap- py last night.-Tucson Citizen.

elackleg Causes Heavy Cattle Losses.

Blackleg has caused more los- ses among cattle in Arizona than any other one disease. It is ex- tremely prevalent throughout all parts of the state. The United States department of agriculture states that 20 per cent of the losses in cattle in the western states is due to black leg. This means an annual loss of over half a million dollars and about 15,OOO head of stock annually from black leg alone in Arizona.
 These figures are apparently much too low, for it is certain
 that each year during the past five years there have died more than 3O,OO0 cattle annually in Arizona due to black leg, and the loss amounts to fully $1 ,OOO,- GOO yearly. In certain herds losses have been especially high, amounting to as much as 20 per cent of the young stock. Since this disease may be almost en- tirely prevented with little out lay of expense or labor, it is inn portant that cattlemen become familiar with the nature of the disease and how to prevent loss.

THE COUNTRYS HONOR.

The large number of SubScrib- CTS, more than four million, and the large amount subscribed, |, over three billion dollars, to the Liberty Loan was a splendid de- monstration of the worth of a good name. For generations the United States government bond has been a synonym for absolute security, because the honor of our country is behind it. As good as government bond, '' was as common term as As good as gold," in speaking of securities or investments.
 The United States has reaped the reward from it's own people for never having defaulted on an obligation. 'Our sacred hon. or'' is no idle pharse in the Un- ited States. The tradition of cur national honor began in Washington's day when in his first inaugural address he said, ''The foundations of our nation al defense will be laid in the pure and inmutable principles of morality" and it has been preserved through all our his tory.
 The honor of the United States is back of the Liberty Loan bonds and all America and all the world know that they are absolutely safe.
