 For several years Fred Cornick, a civil engineer of Casa Grande, who is the best authority in the valley on levels and locations for pumping plants, has been the working associate of Pro- lessor Finger, of the state university, who has been since 1914 collecting data and mapping the underground flow of this section of Arizona. Cornick says there are over 100 plants in operation at present and that more are being put in all the time.
 While Sisiting this valley in 1915, H. M Holt, the promoter of the Imperial valley and founder of several of it's towns, said that he thought it practi- cal to put in 10000 acres of land, un- der irrigation, immediately surround ing Casa Grande.
 Several thousand acres of patented land between the Picacho reservoir and Casa Grande, and surrounding the town, have water rights in the Gila river. The water comes down in a canal built by company twenty five years ago.
 Present System Poor
 The present system of obtaining the water is very poor; only few hundred acres obtaining an inadequate supply each season. Funds were appropriated recently by congress to build two dams in the Gila river One is to be built above Florence, d diversion dam costing S175,0O0, to convey water to

The Casa Grande valley adjoining the Salt River valley to the south, has made remarkable progress the past four years. taking blue ribbon prizes at the state fair for it's superior pro ducts.
 One of the principal factors in the development of this fertile region of Pinal county has been the installation of pumping plants. When this form of reclamation was started in the val ley in 1913, the drilled wells and plants could be counted on the fingers of the hand, being few and far between. These crude wells and machinery how ever, demonstrated the fact that the ground waters were available for irri- gation to thousands upon thousands of acres. The ground water in the dis trict averages forty feet from the sur face.
 In the vicinity of the Casa Grande ruins, not far from the Gila river. is q great quantity of water that can be encountered in the first stratum, lying 20 to 30 feet below the surface.
 In 1913, Archie Ryan, whose ranch is situated two miles west of Casa Grande, put in a Layne-B Bowler pump and commercial engine. It was a mod

Repre- sentatives of the government have opened offices in Florence to arrange preliminary work on the dam above that city.
 Casa Grande is noted for the health giving qualities Of it's climate and for it's pure water. The elevation is 14OO feet. All products that are being raised commercially and probably in the Salt River thrive in equal propor- ton in the Casa Grande valley.
 Sacaton, the government experiment station q few miles north of Casa Grande, is where Egyptian cotton was tried out and proved to be $ commer- cial product for the hot. long season of the Arizona lowlands Casa Grande ex- poets to become within a short time one of the chief growers. Of this staple.

 Being on the main line of the South ern Pacific Casa Grande offers espe- cial Inducements, in getting the crops to market in quick time and at req sonable cost. All over the valley from Maricopa on the west to Picacho on the east, north to Florence and south to the Papago Indian reservation, are farm CTS who are making money raising hogs, cattle and poultry.
 Alfalfa is a prize winning forage crop, and yields from five to eight cut tings from March to November. All vegetables here are money makers. Sweet potatoes now being shipped in large quantities. Fruits of every va riety are raised with profit here and the Casa Grande berries bring the top market price.

Hidden Money Does No Work

Did you ever stop to consider how
money worksP
Imagine loo men seated in one room.
Suppose each mar there owes some
other one man the sum Of 300. The
combined debt of those present is then
$4,000.
Suppose n Of these men takes a $40
bill from his pocket and passes it to
his neighbor; the neighbor passes it in
turn to his creditor, who hands it over
to the mar he owes, and so on until
that bill has made the rounds of these
100 men and has returned to the first
one. That single bill has then IAN.
celled 1000 of debts, and is again in
the possession Of the man who first
had it.
IL it is passed around the circle nine
times more, it has paid the entire
$4,000 Of debts; the men leave the
room free of obligation, and the bill is
again in the pocket of the man who
first started it circulating.
Germany has financed her war on
this same principle. She has been
practically cut off from communication
with the world. But her people had
plenty of money.
She borrowed many millions of dol.
lars, giving bonds in return. This
money she spent for war supplies, and
it found its way back into the pockets
OF the people, only to be borrowed over
and over again, never going out of the
empire. Thus has she financed her
war, because the people kept their money
In circulation.
That is what we must do in the
United States. Hysterical appeals for
economy" have gone out, alarming
the more timid citizens who are prac.
ticing foolishly rigid economy. They
are Withdrawing their money from
circulation-puttiug it where it cannot
work for either themselves or the coun-
try.
This is the biggest mistake any of US
can make. 1t is N Of the greatest
aids we could give the enemy. To
finance our war we must keep u
money in circulation.
Remember, our annual are
fifty billions of d~ollars-more than
ample to meet all expenses of ever this
great wal and leave q substantial sur
plus.
The patriotic duty of American men
and women is to realize their security
to understand that we face no dan
ger except that of ~strangling our own
country by ''economizing" SO closely
that we stop the flow of its life.blood-
money.
Be thrifty-certainly. But don't be
miserly. Hive your usual life and you
will do as much for the flag as can
anyone not actually called to the colors.

Organizes Seed and Labor
Bureau at Red Cloud

Because labor and seed are likely to
be the limiting factors in increased
production this year, the Burlington
Railroad has turned their agricultural
department over to organizing labor
and seed bureaus to bring the farmers
and unemployed together.
b. Il. Heitzman, agricultural agent
for this road was in Red Cloud Friday,
and together with the business men
organized a local Emergency Labor
and Seed Bureau, with Mr.. o. q. TeeI
representative at this point. This pro.
gram, which has become nation wide
in.scope provides for the organization
of labor bureaus which will keep in
touch with local wants, and aid the far
mer in producing more crops to meet
the country wide Cry for food.
The object of the bureau shall be AS
follows:
First: To find all farmers who need
help and seed, the kind of help and
seed needed by each one, and the time
such help or seed WILDE wanted.
Second: To locate all who can help
on farms and to ascertain the kind of
work for which each person is best
adapted.
Third To furnish all farm help that
is available particularly in rush seasons
This bureau will list labor and seed
available, and calls for labor and seed,
bring idle men in touch with farmers,
and report excess or deficiency of labor
or seed to a state leader.
The shortage Of farm help is recog.
nized by state and nation as a serious
problem. How does it effect the far.
mers of this community What can
be done to help the farmers? Let us
know your wants by the attached card
or phone O. G. Teel. THE SERVICES
OF THIS BUREAU ARE FREE.
