WAR FINANCE.

Finance is under any circum- stances a wonderful thing but war finance is simply marvellous.
 Yet it's simplicity is fascinating. One -orrows a dollar, later one borrows two dollars and pays off the interest or the principle of the original dollar. one borrows four dollars and pays off the interest on the second borrowing and so an ad infnitum.
 Ii there is anything wrong with that system just so loEg as there IS III 2ncy to loan and people to pay, we cant see it. Yet that is the wonderfully un2dorned method of war finance as practiced by the most up-to-date nations. Germany first evolved it and carried it to successful issue. After elaborate denunciation of it's unsoundness Great Britain herself adopted it, and it is just to be tried in the United States.
 In point of fact it is the only system that cannot fail just as long as there are people to pay.
 As it IS possible to foresee con- siderable number of generations for this old mother earth, it will be quite long time before bottom Is reached as far as the security or the lending is concerned.

 It is very interesting to know that the chiefest argument and the most forcible is that it is un- American. Some of these daya some person will denouncc christi anity for the same good and suffi- cicnt reason.

PREP

The Industrial Worker has i'm. portart information which it thinks it well should be made public. Or the last mail we received a very in, teresting pamphlet showing that the end of the world would be reached on September 16. The writer proved the matter up to the hill by Holy Writ and the man who couldn't be convinced Of it's correct, ness Of viewpoint thereby could not we venture 10 say be convinced of anything at sll hy the scriptures It is Impossible to oyer-rate the i'm portance ot this nouncenent and it is given advance notice here so that the sinners as well as the sains can put their house in order and be ready.
 That this paper will not accept responsibility in the event of the prophet being in error goes without saving.

COAL PATRIOTS.

Two members of President Will sons cabinet have been subjected 10 most bitter denunciation and those two men have, ii any can be said to have, made good. They are Daniels and Baker.
 The coal barons who have had their wings clipped and their claws filed by these officers in the inter- est of efficiency are irate beyond words, To them the war is a blessing and patriotism natural state if profits are forthcoming But when they observe these cabi- net members making an effort to control the coal combinations ill the interest of the nation patriot ism becomes a nightmare.

TWO ITEMS.

Two items of interest occur in the labor world of some signifi- canoe. The one refers to the strug- gle in the lumber industry for the eight hour day and the other is the strike of the street carmen in Frisco for the right to organize and for better wages.
 In the Puget Sound country the union carpenters have decided to handle no lumber which is the pro- duct of mills working ten hours and in San Francisco the other unions are to call a general strike before they will see the carmen on strike defeated in their struggle
 While We have often reason to daplole the llck of solidarity mani tested iu oratt unionism. withal these two examples show that the workers regardless of the form Of organization which they follow are revealing the growing instinct of class solidarity, The world certain ly do move"

one of them, the Watkins Coal Co.,, of Broadway, New York in recent circular: The time has come when reputable businessmen must combat the rabid tendencies of men like Daniels and Baker, whose policies are throttling American industry.
 1t is indeed sad that the oppcr- tunity that has arisen for unlimited profits is to be denied the men in whose stewardship the Almighty in his wisdom placed the coal re- sources of the nation, on the au- thority, we say it, of the late Pre- sident Baer.

STRIKING SCENES.

These are great days for San Gompers, days which must atone for the long dreary years when men of globular millions failed to ap- preciate his greatness and instead he had to insist upon sticking on the back of the American labor movement like the Old Man from the Sea.
 Nothing more beautiful has come over the wires than that reunion between our Samuel and the senior partner of Kuhn, Loeb and Go.
 The delightful fraternity between capital and labor as witnessed in tho shaking of the hands by these two men is an event of unequalled magnitude in the present hurly burley
 That Sam has not effected com plete partnership between labor and capital all along the line is not necessarily a detraction from the worth of this episode. The car men may be waging a bitter war threatens to involve all labor unions in San Francisco-the struggle for the eight hour day in the western lumber woods is n& unlikely to involve all organized labor on Puget Sound Apparently while the fraternal union took placc between Gompers and the financial magnate, the fact was quite geni- ally overlooked that it was mora the symbol of what is to be than what is at the present time. Ever Gompers cannot keep employers from demanding from Labor it's pound of flesh these happy days of high prices and high profits.

|. ". W. FICTION.

We don't know how the reporters are getting hold of the news con corning the Industrial Workers ot the World and the romantic notion that in the raids made upon the Halls of that militant organization documentary evidence of the crimi- nal propensities Of thc membership and their leaders has been discoF- cred.
 Whatever else they are the mom bcrs of that organization are no' completely stupid and it is inposs ible to regard these stories with any degree of confidence. That the executive would have the plans for an organized campaign of crime filed away in some pigeonhole after they had received due notice that they were being attacked all round, that government action was invited and raids were threatened, would indicate that even for criminals their intelligence was below normal and as one man put it they were solid iYory".
 However during these days the public is ready to believe almost anything and uo,1'l. io.h. the soribes who report ior that public are ready to report anything tha' will be believed.

SENTIMENT AND COLD FACT.

There's a lot of interesting sen timent connected with the opposi- tion to the war and there is one point of view that always is enter taining. This is that it seems to be taken for granted that the other fellow will quit if you leave him alone.
 It is true it takes two to make a quarrel and to make war. But one well armed ncticn can by conquest cnslave the world. This little by product of distilled fact seems to have escaped the minds eye of the average pacific fanatic.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" You will get large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for about 50 cents. Everybody uses this prepara- tion now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another appli- cation or two, your hair becomes beauti- fully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It i5 not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

MORE WINTER WHEAT
 FOR STATE OF ARIZONA

Arizona is capable of increasing her winter wheat acreage. In the irrigated valleys of the state and in the dry farming areas of the north ern counties, yields of winter wheat have been justified in the past. Un- der the government guarantee of price for the fall planted crop of S2.00 per bushel at terminal points, Arizona winter wheat planting will undoubtedly be increased.
 Director E. P. Taylor of thee Agri- cultural Extension Service, is back from the government wheat confer ence just held at Kansas City. The government desires to raise the Ma tion's wheat crop in 1918 to one bil- lion bushels. To bring this about it is estimated that the acreage to be planted to fall wheat should reach AT million acres. The average yield of winter wheat for the United States is 15.6 bushels with 13.2 bushels for spring wheat.
 Arizona's quota to bring about the desired increase is 43,OOO acres, which is an increase of 16 per cent over last year. In spite of the fact that cot ton will claim a considerable acreage of land in the Salt river valley which

 Rush T. Sill, of the firm of Sill and Sill, mining engineers and ore testers, who accompanied Col. Ran kin to Chloride this trip, left Tues day evening with samples of silver ore that are to be tested to ascertain the best process for extracting the ruby silver content. Other tests made by this firm on Chloride ores proved their amenability to treatment without re- sorting to socalled Hate" experiments.
 MT. Sill told Col. Rankin that he had formed a very high regard for the camp, judging from what he was able to see during his short stay. The colonel is also elated over the good ore finds made in several mines of late, and unhesitatingly pronOunces Chloride a permanent camp, destin- ed to a long and useful life.

RAILROADS PERFORM
 AN ENORMOUS TASK

Despite the most terrific pressure ever inflicted upon the railroads of the country millions of tons of govern ment supplies, including lumber, mu- nitions, and materials for government construction have been transported by the carriers without hitch this year and without interfering to any extent with the regular commercial traffic of the country which has increased to vast proportions by the war.
 Attention is called to this triumph of American enterprise by c. D. Mo Donald, for the western department of the Railroad War Board, who to- day announced that 1000 additional empty cars have been ordered into the south and southwest during the last ten days to protect the movement of grain and food products and to fa- cilitate the transportation of lumber for cantonments and shipyards.

A compress or and engine have already been pur- chased and Wednesday morning men were set at work. A contract calling for 300 feet of sinking crosscutting and drifting will be let within the next few days.
 Col. Rankin is very much encourag- ed over the mining outlook on the Mary Bell and on the flat in the vici- nity of the Merrimac, in both of which properties he is much interested. He states that in a short time he will un-

An extremely important find of ore has been made inthe Emerson tun- nel, which is now 406 feet in and 150 feet below the surface. A Pinch seam of gold-silver-lead ore came in on the hanging wall several feet back from the present face and has been widen ing slightly as the tunnel advanced It has widened to two feet of almost solid galena, probably containing high values in gold and silver. As says are now being run to learn ex- act values.
 Superintendent E. M. Bind is of the opinion that this is the long sought ore shoot from which large shipments of ore were taken by previous own CTS. While running the tunnel, at different points along its length, boul- ders of identically the same charac- ter of ore taken out and shipped pre- viously were found, but the ore shoot in place never could be locaated. If this proves to be the one sought, it is quite certain to develop into some thing very desirable, as wherever worked above it carried high values, even when metal prices were fifty per cent under present quotations.
 The Emerson tunnel has opened up good ore almost it's entire length and promises to be a liberal producer for local custom mills.

The Steffy mill last Monday began running on approximately 5000 tons of Altata ore. The ore carries values amounting to about S11 a ton in gold, silver, copper and lead, and will make a good concentrating product, for which the smelters will not exact any penalties.
 This is the largest run the new mill has undertaken since it began oper- ations.

The west drift on the south vein, 200 foot level, of the Diana, is in 50 feet from the crosscut, with no sign of diminishing in size or values of the ore shoot. The drift is following the footwall and is being broken six feet wide, all ore, with good sized shoots breaking off frequently and running into the side toward the hang ing wall, which should lie to 10 feet away. As no work has been done on the hanging wall side of the vein it would not be surprising if good ore shoot is found on that side when ex- plored.
 Colonel George F. Beveridge, in charge of the Diana, states that he plans now to continue this drift until about the 17th of the month, when he will have proven the existence of his ore in the south vein for a distance of nearly 100 feet, and when he will put his men at work driving the crosscut to open the north, or principal vein, which he expects to break into within 30 days.
 An assay of two feet of the ore made Monday last returned 1.92 ounces gold and 2O.82 ounces silver per ton.

YELLOW BANANAS NOT RIPE
Reach That Stage When Peel Turns Golden Hue and Begins to Speckle
 on Brown Shades.

Bananas have higher caloric value than any of our other common fruits. Unlike most other fruits they are al- ways in season.
 Such is the first conclusion come to by Drs. Victor c. Myers and Anton k. Rose, after careful analysis of bananas and of their effects upon per sons fed with them. The studies were made at the Laboratory of Pathologi- cal Chemistry, New York Post-Gradu- ate Medical School and Hospital, and the report is published in the Journal of the American Medical association.
 But the bananas must be ripe, and bananas as generally sold are not nearly ripe. A yellow banana is not ripe. "When the yellow of the peel turns a golden hue and begins to speckle on the brown shades, it may safely, be considered fully ripe," says the report, "and the spread of the brown discoloration does not condemn the fruit as oyer-ripe as long as the pulp inside shows no signs of fcrmen- tatiye decomposition"

FORINAUGURAL CHANGE
Amendment to the Constitution
 Not Required, Is Opinion.
First President Took Oath of Office on April 30, Says Official in Sup-
 port of Contention.

March 4 is not the date upon which the government of the United States, under the Constitution, was inaugural. ed, and therefore 1t Is mistake to have the terms of the president and vice president and of members of con- gresS date from March 4, in the opin- ion of Samuel Russell, clerk of the sen ate committee on expenditures in the post office department. Mr. Russell has made study of the matter and is convinced that constitutional amend ment is not required to change the date of inauguration of the president.
 In statement regarding the matter Mr Russell said:
 "The designation of March 4 for the quadrennial inauguration of the presi- dent was not made by the Constitution. The date was fixed by the act of the old congress, under the articles of con federation, which submitted the new Constitution to the states for ratifica- tion.
 Although the dag set for the inau- gurntion of the government under the new Constitution was the first Wednes- day in March, 17S9, the new congress did not assemble until April G, on which day the senate organized by choosing John Langdon as it's preSi- dent and summoned the house of rep reSentativeS into joint session to can yaSs the vote of the electors for presi- dent of the United States. The votes were opened and counted by Langdon In the presence of both houses. Every one of the G9 electors, from ten states, had voted for George Washington for president. Washington took the oath as president on the balcony of Federal hall, New York, on April 30 17S9.
 "As d matter of fact, the inaugura- tion of the government under the Con stitution did not take place on March 1. but on April c. as to the legislative department and on April 90 as to the executive department. Washington In no event could have qualified prior to April 6, the day uIsn which the fact of his election to the presidency was found and declared by congress. And so, if Washington had occupied the presidents office for the actual tenure of four years as prescribed in the Con stltution, the day for succeeding presi- dental inaugurations would have been April 6. and not March 1, which, in any view of the natter was not the date upon which the new government was inaugurated or upon which it's de jure or de faeto existence was initiated, or , from which the quadrennial succession in the presidency and congress should i have been reckOnPd.

Below the Mountains.

Researches of the United States coast and geodetic survey. carried on in recent years. prove beyond doubt that mountains are not held up by the rig;diIy or strength of the earth's materias, but by the fact that the materials under them Gin the outer portion of the earth) are lighter than normal. The higher the mohptain or the plateau, the lighter is the material under It. The principle is exactly the same as that which makes ar iceberg float. Ihe portion of the iceb+rg that is above water is held up by t;ie large mass or ice-which has Il density low CT than that of water-in the submerg- ed portion of the berg. So, in the case of the mountain, the portion above the general level is held up by the lighter material under the mountain, which extends down to a depth of about 60 miles.-Youth's Companion.
