Neu Industry in MohaUe

A new industry has been start ed in MohaYe county. A num- Der of junk dealers who have been shipping out of this section for the past year or more are now procuring the hides of the wild burros that run in the hills and shipping them to the mar kets. Just what use they are to make of them was not learned. It is presumed they are to be used for making leather for war purposes as the hides are all salted down and shipped in bar rels of brine. If it should de- velop that the hides of these lit tie animals prove anything near as durable as the animal itself, g pair of shoes made from their hide should wear a mans life time. .-Mohave County Miner.

Concerning the results of this conference of bankers MT. Ray holds informs the News that plans were made for full parti- cipation of the various state banks in Arizona in the distribu- ton of the Liberty bonds. Every banker present pledged himself to subscribe on the part of his bank for as large an amount of these bonds as possible and to use all efforts to induce indivi- duaIs of each locality to make personal subscriptions.
 It was decided that all state banks will sell Liberty bonds in whatever convinient denomina- tions they be issued as low as 5000 and $1OO.OO. These sales will be made either outright or on installmen payments.

named by Governor Thomas B. Campbell as disbursing officer and registrar of Arizona under the federal selective draft. Colo nel Breen accepted the appoint ment and will immediately come to Phoenix to take charge of the work as soon as it is started.
 The fitness of Colonel Breen to handle this work cannot be questioned. He is thoroughly con- versant with military rules and regulations and possesses the personal qualifications to conduct the work in a business-l like man. her.
 The appointee is former colo nel of the Arizona National Guards and is now on the re- serve list of that organization. While a member of the guards, he proved himself a most eff cient officer and a good soldier. He possesses the executive ability that will benecessary to expedite the conscription work Tn this state.

Inconsistency

We note that the county of NavaJo has made a move in the right direction by voting a road bond issue of $16O, GOO and then right on top of that comes the announcement that some body who was overlooked in city ap- pointments has started move ment to disincorporate the Town of Holbrook. Holbrook is rather an ancient burg and has been that way altogether too long. It is surrounded by a wonderful country, unlimited resources and just woke up a few weeks ago long enough to incorporate and place itself in a position to make a wonderful race toward pro- gress and substantial growth. They are no longer satisfied to walk in COW paths and pasture their cows on the sidewalks as a means of moving the front lawn. They have passed ordin- ances to dispose of homeless dogs that serenade the weary business man every night, and they have decided that the place to raise pigs is the country and not in the kitchen. Holbrook is a prosper ous community of progressive people and should have the ad- YantaRes of a clean. sanitary modern city which is possible only through cooperative effort as an incorporated city. Being a wide awake. growing town we trust that the many progressive citizens of Holbrook will not let a few disgruntled property own CTS bluff them out of their start in the direction of a modern, beautiful little city.
 There are always those in every community who are eter- nalIy fighting anything that is toward progress and advance ment. Municipalities and cities are not made by this class o1 citizenry and Holbrook shoulC stick by the twentieth century method of conducting the. busi
 ness of a municipality. Cocoon

by express companies at a cost greater than the usual exchange charge made by banks.
 Resolved: That we call to the attention of the Federal Reserve
 Board the advertising matter furnished to the bank members of the Federal Reserve Banks which appears by Inference to cast doubt upon the strength and patriotism of the State Banks. We protest agalnst such differences and believe that the banks outside the Federal Re- serve system are, as a whole. al- so fully entitled to the confidence and support of the public, and we most urgently request that this advertising matter be re- written. leaving out the refiec- tions so apparent therein.
 Resolved: That the bankers here assembled condemn as un- fair and un-American the "eco- homie pressure" aow being brought to bear to force by tax ation and repression the state banks into a system not yet fully proven, upon terms unfa- yorable and expensive. We be- Iieve that a way can be found which upon satisfactory terms, will combine the whole banking system of the United States and make it financial rock upon which the entire business struc- ture of our beloved country may safely rest. To that end we urge that the representatives of the patriotic state banks be called into conference. believing that they will be found not only will ing, but anxious to do their whole duty in the present crisis.

 We commend this example of simplicity and intelligent patri- otism set by them. The average American eats too much. any how. and now that our success in the War depends as much up- on plenty of food as upon plenty of bullets, a reduction in the quantity of food consumed and wasted will increase his chances for living, as we'll as increase the nations chances for a suc- cessfull ending of the War.

The Northern Arizona

The Northern Arizona .Le der, published semi weekly in Flagstaff, an nounces that it will change to a daily next Monday. We would like to congratulate the editor of the Leader on what he considers a step in advance, but we can not do so. On the other hand, we believe that he is making a great mistake. Flagstaff is too small a town to support Ia daily newspaper, and in trying to maintain a daily paper in a weekly paper town, the Leader man is courting disaster.
