His Jlnx.

The day that the men of the Ninth
division completed their rifle practice
at Fort Harrison Il little dog was out
on the range, running back and forth
in front of the targets. When bullet
hit one of the targets with a "Zing,"
the little dog would rush up to the tar
get with a yelp, barking at the target
until another "zing" attracted him to
another target. For more than an hour
he bounded back and forth in front of
the targets, fearless little venturer
in mo mans land" and finally when
he was called off. he trotted away not
II whit the worse for his experience In
front of the firing line of student Of
flcers.
81 hope l have the same sort of a
jinx on the Germans bullets that the
little mutt seemed TO have on ours, "

called off the range.-Indianapo

Coffee Market in Our Hands.

Prior to the trouble in Europe Ham
burg and Hayre were the two great
coffee markets of the world. both re-
eeiving goods from the growers of all
the world and storing them in wonder
full warehouses to be re-exported ac-
cordlng to trade requirements. Today
both these markets are totally eliml-
mated and ii is within our power to
dominate the coffee trade of the fu-
ture.
Conditions for this are ideal. In the
first place no duty Is charged on coffee
imported into the United States. Sec
ondly. we are well situated geo
graphically, TO become the distributing
center for this staple for the western
hemisphere and should be the middle
men for this line for the bean grown
In South and Central America and the
West Indies. Furthermore, our larger
ports have many merchants handling
this article exclusively.

Her Choice.

Hazel was at loss to make choice
between two young sprouts in her gar
den of love. She desired q hardy
plant, one that would thrive In any soil
and under any conditions. No shadow
must prevent the sprout selected from
growing.
Every day could not have its full
allotment of sunshine. Which would
she choose? Either was pleasing to
the eye. Then came a day when the
wind blew hard-a draft from one end
of the country to the other.
One of the sprouts withered from
the biting blast. The other thrived
and grew as though 1t had been blessed
with continual sunshine. Now Hazel
Is happy. Her choice has been made.

 Several parties in Cochise county who registered have already lost their certificates and have written Ill for duplicates. These will not be fur nished by the sheriff's office, as the provost marshal general has ruled oth- erwise. All who have lost their cer- tificates must furnish the county board, which is composed of Sheriff Wheeler, County Recorder Krebs and County Physician C. II. Hunt, with proof that they have registered, be- fore whom, the date and now they lost their certificates, and such other in- formation that they possess to show that they complied with the law. These statements will then be investigated by the board and if found to be true, the party will be furnished with a statement to the effect that he did register and that he has complied with the law, but in no instance will dupli- cate certificate be issued.
 No word has as yet been received by the county board as to when the draft law and manner of handling the exemptions will be completed. The only word received concerning the drawing and the exemptions is to the effect that the county board, com posed of the above named, will han dle these matters and that there will be no precinct boards.
 The cards of some thirty residents of Cananea who registered are being held up pending some advice from Washington, and no certificates have been issued 10 them as they all gave their residences as Cananea and no residence in the United States. These facts were reported to Washington but no word has been received in reply thereto. They were registered by w. A.

 The number of those who should be credited to Cochise county is now in the neighborhood of 6,690, nearly forty more cards having been received since the tabulated statement was forwarded to Phoenix.

THE WORST STACKER

+ n HE Stacker of whom the
W nation needs beware is
not the young man of mi
litarv age Who strives to evade
( service. There are such men
it is true and they deserve strict
handling, but after all they are
few in numbers and personally
worthless so are of little mill
tary value. 1t may be set down
as assured that the manhood
of the country will be loyal
and ready to meet the wishes
of the government, whenever
called upon.
The big menace is from
slackers of different type. 1t
arises from the work of men
who capitalize the war situa-
ton for their own benefit
without regard to the morality
or patriotism of their sections.
1t has its manifestations in
manipulations and the
and storage of food
for price boosting purposes. 1t
is typified also by the action of
men in congress, democrats and
republicans, who strive to block |
legislation for the protection of !
the people along this line.
