TRAFFIC REGULATIONS FOR
 THE GRAND CANYON

Traffic regulations promulgated by the Secretary of Agriculture for the protection of visitors at the Grand Canyon of Arizona have just been issued. These regulations are of in- terest to the tens of thousands of tourists who go every year to the best-known land mark in America. They will be enforced by officers of the United States Forest Service which has jurisdiction over the Grand Canyon National Monument.
 The regulations are only part of a proposed plan of administration de- signed to perpetuate the beauty of Grand Canyon for the future and to protect the public in their enjoyment of it.
 The new regulations are as follows:
 1. No vehicle shall be driven or allowed to stand between the Hermit Rim Road and the brink of the Can yon.
 
 2. No vehicle or animal shall be left in such a manner as to obstruct free passage-way over any road or prevent ready access to any public landing block.
 8. No. animals used for transporta- tion purposes shall be left on any x~,,I1.a tied or attended, nor shall any horse drawn vehicle be left on any road or public place unless the team is tied or attended.
 4. Trail parties shall have the right-of way and no vehicle shall be driven so as to interfere with their lineup. [.

COL. BREEN 10 TAKE
 FEDERAL REGISTRATION
Coconino Sun Editor Named By Gov
 Campbell for Arizona Census

Phoenix, May Ex-Governor Camp bell today designated Col. F. s. Breen, editor of the Flagstaff Coconino Sun and former state senator, to take the selective draft.
 Colonel Breen was formerly second in command of the First Arizona na- tional guard and has had considerable military experience. He is one of the best known men in the state and was a delegate from Arizona to the Re- publican national convention at Chi cago in 1916, being member of the committee on credentials.
 His peculiar fitness for the appoint ment appealed to Governor Campbell. Colonel Breen was spending short vacation at Murietta Springs, Calif., and wired the governor while he would prefer not to accept the ap- pointment, he would respond if the governor deemed it his duty to do SO. The governor wired him that his ser vices were needed at this time and he took the first train for Phoenix. He is expected to arrive here Sunday Tucson Citizen.

HIGHER WOOL IS CERTAIN

Those who sold wool early admit their error. The price is steadily ad. vancing and will continue upward There is a worldwide shortage and material relief during the next five years is impossible.
 If the United States is under the necessity of raising and eouipping an army an enormous quantity of wool will be required to clothe it. War is waste and the army uniform furnish es little salvage for shoddy pur- poses.
 Growers are complaining, not il- logically, of lack of staple wool mar ket. Live stock has a satisfactory outlet, but no such sourse exists where small consignments of wool may be sent in confidence that full values will be realized. The trade is dominated largely by spectators to whom the grower whose necessities require cash must go. The need of the hour is some such method of sell ing wool as now exists at the stock yards for sheep and lambs.
 Unless all the signs are awry wool is going higher, and those not under the necessity of taking present prices should hold.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, CLUB?

 Whats the matter with the Snow flake Rife Club? Some of the big daily papers have told the world that Snowflake was "one hundred per cent American" These same papers have been watching for the announcement that Snowflake has 100 members to her Rifle Club.
 It's bit strange that some among us can't get it in their heads that we, the United States of America, are at war-these be really war times. It is our duty, no matter if we are too old (some of us) to do all we can to com ply with the wishes and requirements of our government. A home rife club don't mean that we are going to march right out of town and into Germany. It means to do our duty toward helping our government pro- tect our homes. Enlistment with the home rife club don't mean that the War Department will get us any sooner than it needs us. We had just as we'll wake-up to the fact that our government needs us, whether it be

lis the inclination of the great mass of our people to spend their money in providing themselves literally with the things they want, whether those things be necessities or luxuries. IT this way, each has been instrumental in keeping his fellowman busy, and that fellowman by his liberality in supplying his own wants, has enabled other fellowmen to supply their wants.
 No nation whose people confine themselves to the bare necessities of life has ever become rich and pros porous.
 We shall continue to live as we have lived, much the same as though we were not at war. We shall continue to be clothed; we shall continue to build homes; we shall continue to sup ply ourselves with the thousand and one things which contribute to our needs mad to our enjoyment.
 Manufacturers will continue to keep their fires burning; they will continue to keep their men employed. The farmer will continue to buy implem- ents and machinery. The building of roads so much needed, and other pub lie improvements, will be continued as before.
 And it is we'll that it is so.
 One of the best ways for us to show our patriotism is to do the things which will promote our country's gen. eral prosperity, and therefore place ourselves in a position to render the maximum aid to the government in providing the means with which to prosecute the war to a successful con- clusion in the shortest possible time.

The career of David Lloyd George reads like romance. His rise from humble station to the most exalted post in the British empire, under the king-and with more kingly powers vested in him than in the crown itself -is one example of the progress of able Britons from obscurity to fore most fame. While reputed to be the most aristocratic nation on earth, Great Britain, in some aspects, is the most democratic-even out-democrat- izing some republics.

WAR A BUSINESS STIMULANT
By Knowlton P. Drysdle

With the enrance of the United States into the world conflict, there is no occasion to fear that business will suffer as consequence.
 Quite the opposite is true. Busi- ness is merely the exchange of com modities-the exchange of one mans product for the product of another, with money as the medium of ex- change.
 The mistaken idea that because the Nation is at war, people should there fore skimp and economize and deny themselves the things which they would purchase under normal condi- tions, would, if followed, be calculated to bring about the very condition that 1t is most necessary to avoid.
 To prosecute war successfully re- quires money, and lots of it. The on- ly source from which money can be obtained is from the people who have it. The only way that people can get money is by producing something, whether the product be that of brain or brawn, and exchanging that prod uct for money. Then, the use of that money to purchase something which somebody else produces keeps it in circulation, encouraging production and furthering business activity.
 A single dollar in active circulation contributes more toward promoting prosperity than the entire wealth of the Nation, allowed to remain dorm- ant.
 There is more money in the country today than ever before in our history. The government is preparing to raise several billions of dollars. But that does not mean that these billions are to be withdrawn from circulation.
 Just the contrary is true For the most part, this money will be raised from funds which have been inactive and every dollar of it will soon find its way into the channels of trade. It will mean the production and pur- chase of munitions, of textiles, of ships, of foodstuffs, and of the in- numerable other things necessary for the equipment and maintenance of our army and our navy.
 Even the funds which are loaned to the European allies will not leave our shores, but will remain in our own country, and they also will be used to purchase war material.
 The colossal purchases made in this country by the European allies dur ing the past two years have resulted in unexampled prosperity here, and now with more billions which must be expended in the same direction, that prosperity is bound to be greater than ever.
 The individual who thinks that he is helping his country's cause by practicing unwise economies and en- couraging others to do so, is doubt less well-meaning but sadly misguid- ed, and his activities can tend only to weaken rather than strengthen the situation.
 The only economies which are at all justifiable are those which will serve to assist in prosecuting the war. In this list the most essential is the con- serving of our food supplies. It is probably safe to say that the value of the foodstuffs wasted in the United States is enough to feed an army of , a million men.
 One of the important factors which have contributed to making ours the most prosperous country in the world,
