q 1t is perfectly proper to put those
news print paper robbers IN irons.
The objections is that it should have
been done sooner. They have made
their millions and every printer, pub
Usher, or dealer in paper have con-
tributed to their millions. We wont
get our money back, it is true. We
can only content ourselves by making
faces at 'em thru the bars.
g From the way we look at the
matter, we wonld say that we have
an ver-production in farming on pa
per. Anyway, we are kept so busy
reading how to farm that we haven't
time to plant that back yard of ours.
q If our government was little
quicker to act on the cases Of unlaw-
ful combines the robbers couldn't get
off with the goods, as was done in
the case Of the news-print combine.
Now, the food stuffs combine must
be dealt with.
g President Wilson is very much
correct in his advocacy Of selective
conscription. 1t is exactly correct.
Send those Stacker" Congressman to
the front. 1t is war and war is hell
no time for twaddling.
q Gen. Murguia strung up 100 Villa
bandits and then proceeded to give
one big bale. Mexicans, with their
faults, manage to get some fun even
out of a hanging bee.
q Head Line: 1.-THE Nation Faces a
Meat Famine" We have had our
meat famine for month, already.
1t took our last months wages to
purchase a mess of stew meat.
q Pinal county voted 20 to l in
favor of $15O,OOO good roads bonds.
Very few good road "slackers" in
CnaC county.
g From Winslow Mail) Represen-
tative Osmon D. Flake must feel
proud of his efforts to put his commu-
nity---the peaceful pastoral precinct
of SnoWtlake---in the same class with
Douglas No. /, where the evidence
showed the election board was filled
with lot of drunken crooks who cor
ruptly remarked ballots to their own
liking. If there was ever repre-
sentative of Navajo county who has
forfeited all respect of decent men,
that fellow is Osmon D. Flake.

q Recently, Mexican snipers pep
pered few American soldiers who
were on duty in the city limits of
Ell Paso. The soldiers returned the
fire. Then Mexican authority sent
Gen. Bell word that he very much
objected to having American soldiers
shoot at Mexicans in such a manner
and under such circumstances. Gen.
Bells reply is the kind of stuff that
should have been dealt out to Mexico
all-along: He said: 81 have order
ed the outposts to shoot to kill when
fired upon. | will courtmartial a
man who fires across the border first
and | will also courtmartial one who
fails to return the fire when fired
upon" Now, that's the dope. Why
is it that so many of our boys have
had to suffer many insults at the
hands of bandit Mexicans and not
allowed to even shoot, let alone shoot
to kill.
q Now comes the "bad news" that
the "slackers" those who married
early in the game to keep from going
to the front-will have to go just the
same. All, those new brides we'll,
they may get good fat pensions and
marry true blue American citizens
after the war is over.
q Winslow will get good roads any
how. Winslow is part of Navajo
county and is, therefore, entitled to
all the good roads she can possibly
travel.
g "Slackers" are being decorated
with yellow signs beftting their ac-
tions. "Slackers" are the ones who
are marrying in order to keep out of
the war.
g And Snowflake went solid for the
road bonds that's the way to do it.
If a thing is good there should be no
objections.
g Some of the big papers of the
state have carried big head lines to
the effect that Snowflake is One
Hundred per cent American. Now
for one hundred members to the
Snowflake Rifle Club.
q A way has been discovered how
to make artificial potatoes out of
scraps from the table. Yep; but how
about the fellow who can't afford any
scraps?

 State Chamber Of Commerce

Hartford. Oct. 13.-Arrangements have been completed for the twenty first annual convention of the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce, which will be held in the assembly hall of the Hartford club.

SECOND DRAFT CALL
 COMING IN WINTER
December or January Probable
 Time of Order to Report

Washington, Oct 13.-Discussion of the advisability of expediting the call for the second increment of the draft army is in progress at the War De- partment, and it appears likely that the date may be fixed for some time in December or January.
 Mobilization of the first increment of 687, ,00O men is now far enough ad- vanced to show clearly that there will be big deficiency for the 17 national army divisions. More than 25O,O0O of the first increment are still to be assembled, but 1t already is evident that there will be available at the 16 cantonments quarters for an addi- tional regiment at each post and at some for a full brigade.
 The strength of the new regimental organization Is $500 men. With a reg iment lacking at each cantonment, this alone would mean a shortage of near ly 50.000 men. In addition there has been authorized a separate division of negro troops, which means nearly 30,- 900 men withdrawn from the original number assigned to the sixteen canton ments.
 The shortage is due in part to the necessity of taking draft men to fill up National Guard divisions. Two com plete national army divisions of Southern troops have been absorbed in this way. The remnants of three other Southern divisions will be con- solidated to form a single divisional unit, and the surplus men from other camps will be sent South to make up the missing divisions.
 Drafts on the national army forces also must be made to fill up the avia- ton service, the Medical Corps. and the service battalions needed behind the fighting lines abroad. Eventually there will be 250, ,00O men in the last named service alone, and aviation and the medical service will take nearly as many more, although not all of them will be taken from the national army.
 Several factors are operating to de- lay the calling out of the second in crement to make good these shortages. Clothing and equipment are coming forward only at a rate sufficient to meet the demands of the forces al- ready called, and the railways have been over-burdened with the job of moving the army, and its necessities without hindering freight shipments vital to the Allies.
 Fixing the date of the call for the second increment probably hinges also upon the careful study being made by Provost Marshal General Crowder and his assistants of the re- suits of the plan followed in assemb- ling the men already called. Many questions have arisen which 1t may be desirable to avoid hereafter, and sub stitute regulations to guide both To- cal and district boards, prepared in Inc light of what actual experience taught, may be issued to govern the second call.

STATE WAR RALLIES
 BEGIN OCTOBER l7
Connecticut to Speed Up Liberty Loan and Food Conservation

Hartford, Oct. 1s.-The opening gun of statewide patriotic campaign in behalf of the Liberty Loan, the fed- eral food administration pledge card drive and a movement for an in- creased resolution in Connecticut to win the war. whatever be the sacrifice, will be fired in Hartford next We'd nesday afternoon, when a statewide war rally will be held under the Joint auspices of the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce and the Connecticut State Council of Defense. This meet ing will inaugurate "Rally Week" which has been set apart by the state chamber of commerce and the state council of defense for vigorous campaign of war education in Con- necticut, during which the message of Americas part in the war will be carried by speakers of prominence to nearly every town and city,
 The statewide war rally, which will be held in Foot Guard hall, Hartford, will have at least two features that are sure to attract a capacity audience speakers of unusual prominence and an elaborate program of patriotic music sung by a chorus of 400 trained
 
 Liberty Chorus organized under the direction of the Connecticut State Council of Defense. the Hartford Pub lie High school, Unit No. 1, Liberty Choruses of Connecticut. It will be the first public appearance of a Liberty Chorus. Various patriotic selections, including songs of America's allies, will be sung. The rally will open with fifteen minutes of singing and there will be singing between each ad- dress and at the close of the rally.
 Polish Countess to Speak.
 Among the three chief speakers en- gagged for the rally is Countess De Tuczynowicz of Poland. who has many thrilling stories to tell of atrocities committed by the. Germans in her war-torn land Most of her stories arc based on her own experiences and those of close friends and acquaint- ances. ",
 Another address which will contain thrilling stories of experiences in the war zone will be given by Frederick c. Wafcott, who as an associate of Herbert c. Hoover in the administra- tion of American relief funds in Bel gium lived for months before the en- try of the United States into the war behind the German lines in Belgium. He was able to see things that few neutrals were privileged to witness and will describe some of them at the Hartford rally. MT. Walcott is still associated with Herbert Hoover, be- ing at present first assistant to MT. Hoover in the federal food adminis- tration, and he will devote part Of his address to advice on fod conservation.
 James M. Beck. a New York city lawyer, who is a recognized authority on the causes of the great war, will also make an address. He is widely known as an orator and has made ad- dresses on many notable occasions. He was formerly assistant attorney gener- al of the United States.
 The rally will be a statewide meet ing ano it is expected that it will be attended by people from all parts of
