COOPERATIVE
 S|LOS PLANNED
 FOR FARM AID

To enable the farmers of Arizona to more cheaply construct adequate silos that they may conserve products of
 their farms and thus to materially assist in the state wide campaign of production and conservation of all food supplies as an integral factor in prose- cutting the war, d plan for the cOnstruc-
 ton of forms for the erection of silos
 has been offered to the Arizona Council of Defense
 The plans which were prepared by Herbert J. Mann, city inspector of buildings in Phoenix, are intended to be part of cooperative system for all the farmers of the state who desire 1 to avail themselves of the opportunity,
 and in that manner to be able to con- struct silo at a much reduced cost. 1 The greatest factor in the construc-
 tion of concrete silos, MT. Mann says, | is the first cost of the forms. which
 varies from approximately S3o0 for the | cheapest wood forms to more than S1, 900 for steel forms. MT. Manns plan
 ne says contemplates an equipment
 costing $500, which is a combination of
 wood forms and some steel jacks. 1 By use of this equipment, it is said | the labor cost is reduced to a minimum
 and many objectionable features of other methods are eliminated. Under
 a cooperative plan the same set of | forms could be used for ten or more
 silos at a cost of $50 per silo. and plan
 could be solved, he says, whereby a set
 of forms and jacks could be rented to i anyone for a sum not to exceed this amount
 l MT Mann offers to the Arizona Coun- cil of Defense the use of this method and will furnish the necessary details 1 for the construction of the forms and 1 jacks with no expense to the council | Providing the consent of the city man. ager and city commission S obtained
 Mr. Mann will, he said, perform the
 necessary engineering work in connec- | tion with the design and construction 1 of the silos and render any additional
 service that may be needed to further
 the proposition.
 The plan and offer of MT. Mann was referred to w. J. Barr, county farm agent, to take up personally with the | city inspector.

WHAT IS BEHIND THE UNITED STATES GoV-
 EMINENT BONDS?

They are Uncle Sams direct promise to pay. His wealth is estimated at 25o billion dollars, close to $2,50O per capita
 His yearly income is estimated at about 40 billion dollars.
 His yearly savings are over billion dollars which is about the entire amount of his outstanding debt In- cludnq the present issue of Liberty bonds
 His banks report total of about 35 billion dollars exceeding by far the greatest banking re- sources ever before shown in any country.
 His wealth is estimated than the com bned wealth of Great Britain, France and Germany
 His outstanding debt per capita, even after the present billion dollar loan is sold, will be about $3c, or less than one-tenth that of either Great Britain, France Germany.
 Not once has Uncle Sam failed to pay single dollar of his obligations.
 Uncle Sam is the richest in the world and enjoys the best credit.
 He is asking you now to loan him money to carry on to protect his ideals.
 Don't you think he is safe to lend your money to?

POINT
 NAY T0 ELDERS

One of the greatest things this Lib- crty Loan is doing is to make young sters understand the value of money and encourage savings. Phoenix should feel proud of the number of young folks who are interested in Liberty Bonds and who are trying every means to earn enough money to buy them.
 One of the real financiers is little Johnny Hanny, the twelve-year- son of Vie Hanny. Johnny, who has been saving his money for some time, has accumulated a very nice amount and yesterday morning bright and early he was waiting for the bank to open so he could buy his Liberty Bonds. Not only is John going to buy Liberty Bonds for himself, but he has two younger sisters who he says must also be patriotic and each nave Liberty Bond. The two sisters, Florence and Alice. have not been as thrifty as Johnny and are short of the necessary amount to get their bonds, so John is making them real business proposi- ton by loaning them the needed amount and is charging them three and one-half per cent interest. This way Johnny has his own Liberty Bonds. his sisters have theirs, and Johnnys money is still earning three and one-half per cent interest.
 T have encouraged this transaction. because is will make the girls save to pay Johnny back and it will make Johnny save to buy more bonds" says Daddy" Hanny.
 This is one of the many instances of the children of Phoenix who are show ing their true patriotism and subscrib ing their entire savings to the cause.

GAS SEMPLOYES
 SUBSCRIBED FUR
 LIBERTY BONDS

Patriotism of the red blood kind filled the air last night and the Liberty Loan eagle screamed loud and clear with that spirit now being shown so strongly by all true AriZOnlanS. Loy- alty was much in evidence at large and enthusiastic gathering of the Pa cific Gas X Electric companys em- ployes. The largest attendance in the history of the Employees association responded to the call for financial aid and Phoenix once more demonstrated her interest in the present campaign by subscribing in a liberal manner and doing her bit in the existing struggle where each and every unit counts for so much.
 Following a decidedly impressive ad- dress presented by Dr. Ancil Martin, in which he explained the main features of the Liberty bond issue and offered many excellent reasons why every true American should respond to the call of the government for subscriptions, a
 motion was unanimously adopted by the association and a list of 2S was
 made up in a few minutes, the mem
 bers each pledging from $50 to $100 to the Liberty loan fund.
 Not only have the employees of the P. G. & E. company responded in a financial way to the urgent appeals from Washington but many names en-
 tered on the recent registration lists for prospective soldiers are found on the pay roll of this corporation.
 Company F of the local police re- serves is made up almost entirely of employees of the P. G: & F.. company and has been drilling actively for for months under efficient officers. The following is a list of the bond buyers connected with the F. G. & E. Employees association:
 H. L. Aller. William A. Bostrom, George Breuninger, L. o. Carlisle. B. F. Carter, A. w. Cole. Jr, A. C. Dodge, H. H. Faulk, A. H. Fitz B. p Spaulding, Joe Green. T J. Hawley, w. T. Hawley, w. c. Hornberger, J. P. Irvine, G. W.

The Detection Of Shakers

Attorney General Gregory believes that the gov ernment will be greatly aided by local communities in the detection of those of registration age who failed to register and those who in anyway offered any impeachment the registration. The attorney general thinks that those who have registered or the friends of those who have registered will feel such a resentment against "slackers" whom they may know. that they will lodge information concerning them
 No doubt much of such information will be fur nshed; the seectve draft will be stimulus to the divulging of it. when the friends of those who have been drafted will feel that the chances of their loved ones diminished by the "slackers." That is if one of ten is to be chosen, the chances df the registered not great as if there were more than from whom the selection should be made.
 In order to facilitate the furnishing of such in- formation against "sackers' think it would be a good fan prepare precinct lists of registration arranged in alphabetical order to be kept posted in conspicuous place in every precinct. In that way the absence from the list of that should be on it would be noted by many within very short time after the exposure cf the lists.

The American Navy

Americans pleased to learn of the fraternal relations which exist between the men of the Amer destroyer notila their British cousins who are engaged with them in the work Of discouraging the German submarines There is fine opportunity for the Americans to the glorious history of the American navy which in half century has not had many opportunities to add luster itself, but the few occasions that have presented them selves, it has made the most of them. No American warshfp ever has been beaten in battle except when heavily In the of the revolution. the little navy our forefathers captured destroyed POP British armed ships and performed marvels in proving upon British and supplies for the English army in America. It is not generally known that Washingtons army, while investing New York City, was furnished with a large part of it's food and with most of it's arms and ammunition by our little navy's captures of British shipping.
 During the revolutionary the Americans lost only nine armed ships counting the Bon Homme Richard which sunk after John Paul Jones had board ed and captured the Serapis. Our next naval brush was with the French who had demanded tribute from this country. During that war eighty-four armed French vessels were captured sunk. The Ameri lost only
 But our navy really began to shine in 1912. In that the land forces of the United States lost every engagement except that of New Orleans, which cured after the peace treaty had been signed at Ghent But little navy of twenty-three vessels almost every engagement. The British lost 254 armed ships and in the first months of the war than five hundred British merchantmen were captured. The American loss only four armed vessels.

Only One Essential Step

We indulged in some congratulation on Tuesday morning the step which this country had taken toward national efficiency by the concentration power in the hands of few officials and taking out of the mouths of many takers We did not that that in itself constituted efficiency or gave assurance of efficiency only that it was an essential step toward efficiency, without taking which, remain helpless hopeless democracy
 We have given the government only chance be efficient. That will depend upon the tive branch its courage, steadfastness and wisdom Such power has been larger since the beginning of the in various executive offices of the British government Though the government is therefore more efficient, it still has far to from day to day How far it's remaining inefciency affects life in England is strkingy illustrated in the fol- lowing complaint which find in the London Times: To the Editor of The Times.
 Sir-The smallholder is being severely chastened and he finds 1t hard to understand. The following is typical instance of his experience. A smallholder in my neighbourhood put stack of hay last year. when hay was worth 91o ton He proposed to keep it through the winter and sell in time to buy pigs this summer To preserve it intact he bought hay truss by for the of his The price of hay went somewhat down, and the last truss bought at As. 3d, that is GS los. a ton. Now that the season has in which produce from the market garden help to feed pigs he wished to sell his hay The local dealer. who is in urgent
 
 cart it himself. Before selling it necessary to offer the hay to government and to obtain sale license Government did the hay and license was given to sell, but only at los. ton, trusting and carriage to be done by As la bour and carriage have to be hired and the hay is six miles from the market town this reduces the selling price to about g. 15s. a ton. To sell at this price when hay for his has to be bought at { 8 los. is obviously absurd. The local dealer still to be allowed to buy f8, for he can get no hay. neighbouring farmer unable to obtain enough hay for his stock also offers to buy at f8. Here is genuine and urgent demand for business be done. Not only can business in this summers pigs, for there is money with food of the naton and at the end of the there will be profit with which to buy manure for the winter fields and seed for next years crop. Next years production must accordingly be less
 This is a small concrete example of what is hap pening all the country The food supply from these goes progressively diminishing. The smallholder is being ruined He is prevented from doing his patriotic bit" and the view which he takes of it is that all these things happening because the government insists putting sticks into his machine and preventing the wheels from going round. Resentment is deep and bitter and is rapidly ncreas ing If these things necessary would it not be possible for the government to explain the sty in terms which the smaholder could understand?

A MILITARY POSSIBILITY

Today we see armies of millions, we see great mill itary operations carried on thousands of miles away from the home country. Witness the British at Sa- lonki the Canadians in France, the Australians in Egypt We can no longer hold a mere ocean barrier to that power which confronts it's waters. In other words we must admit that great campaign in the Western Hemisphere, campaign into which millions of men could be thrown, is military possibility to any nation or combination of nations able to drive fleet off the seas In such must be able to meet trained with trained men-and over match them at their game.-Frank D.
