Thanks and Congratulations.

The Federal Reserve Bank of Chica-
90, Fiscal Agent for the United States
Government, by J. B. McDougal, Gov
ernor, telegraphs to the Rock County
Liberty Loan Committee:
"The Liberty Loan campaign just
closed will stand alone as the most con-
vincing demonstration of patriotism in
the history Of the Nation. We take
this occasion to extend to you and
through you to your co-workers our
sincere appreciation for the part you
have taken in this great work. F"
We wish to express thanks to the
banks of Rock County, the Chairmen
and members of the various local COM
mittees, and the solicitors, for loyal,
untiring and energetic work performed
in the Liberty Loan campaign. The
Indies of the County rendered most val
liable service, for which they have our
gratitude The newspapers have given
! of their space in large measure. The
people have, according to their means,
responded with enthusiasm. The bonds
| will soon be issued and distributed when
| every holder will possess security
| than which none better has been issued
in the worlds history.
1t appears that Rock county has
| IL, 40 subscribers, which we believe is
| the largest in proportion to population
of any of the counties of the state and
will stand in the front rank of all of
the counties in the United States. Our
county subscribed an amount equal to
about IA per cent of its banking re-
sources. The wealth of this county is
more evenly distributed than in many
counties and our subscribers are widely
distributed. Our farmers, so far as
they could be seen, have become sub
scribers. Our wage earning popula-
ton, both men and women, have made
a wonderful record. Our total sub
scription is So, 325, $50. If the entire
country had subscribed in proportion to
population, as Rock county has sub
scribed, there would be in the neigh
borhood of 100000 subscribers in the
country The county is to be congrat-
ulated on it's splendid exposition of
genuine Americanism.
Rock County Liberty Loan Com.

Reinu Ones Self.

We owe it to mankind to give our
selves as we are to earth's aggregate
of attainment and experience. We are
indeed to raise ourselves to our Nth
power of existence and achievement,
but that highest power must still be
our own individually expressed. Even
though our best be poorer than some
one else's Indifferent medium, it will
be thousand times better for us and
for all, that humanity get each unde-
rived and incommunicable self rather
than that it receive an imperfect and
disappointing duplicate of another.
And let us remember, also, both for
our comfort and our inspiration, that
he who gives his utmost is at the last
analysis rendering a greater service
than he who, though seemingly be-
slowing much, gives but a fraction Of
his possible being and doing to his
fellow men--Philip Burroughs Strong.

The Hoover Pledge Card

During this week an intensive cam
paign is on all over the United
States for the distribution of the
Hoover Pledge Card and orders have
been issued from Washington, by
Mr.. Hoover to secure the signature
of every family in Wisconsin.
Families which signed in the first
campaign are not asked to sign
again.
The signing of the Pledge Card is
guarantee to the government at
this time that the people of this
country are willing to comply in so
far as it is possible for them so to do
with the regulations which the food
Administration is laying down for us
that there may be food to supply
our armies in France and our allies
in Europe.
Wheat, meat, fat, sugar and milk
are the five foods, which give the
most nourishment in the smallest
space.
They are selected because they
can be shipped easily in concentrate
ed form. There is a scarcity of
boats and freight cars, therefore we
cannot ship the perishable foods.
Orders have just been issued by
Mr.. Hoover to every state in the I'm
ion to follow the example of Wiscon-
sin and establish a meatless Tues
day and a wheatless Wednesday.
We have reason to be proud of Wis
consin. Wisconsin has taken the
lead in all important measures re-
quested by the Government.
1t is up to usto be the first in the
Food Pledge Campaign.
Let Edgerton be the first city in
Wisconsin to report the signature of
every family to the Hoover Pledge
Card.
These cards will be circulated this
week by the school children and with
the signature to the card a window
card will be given which should be
placed in the window to prevent any
further solicitation upon that family.
The government requests that the
name of each family refusing to
sign a pledge card, be reported to
the Food Administration.

French Drapery.

The French are pastmasters in the
art of draping fabrics. A Parisienne
has truthfully said that French taste
is distinctly feminine and as clear as
the Gallo language itself, says an ex-
change. 1t possesses the genius of
curves, the secret Of what is graceful
and the intuition Of what brings about
harmony. These characteristics are
all to be found in French art, French
industries and French creations.
1t is in France that we find the
work of the most skilful hands, the
most artistic jewelry, the richest
clothes and the most beautiful hats. In
foreign countries the idea of ugliness
or bad taste is never associated with
the women of France.

MULE MISSED HER TOBACCO
TemperamentaI Mountain Canary Not
Blamed for Planting Hoofs in Back
of Her Only Friend.

Thinking the animal made mistake
in not knowing whom she was kicking
or it was his fault because he forgot
to give her the usual chew of tobacco,
Fred Wales of Grass Valley, CAL, who
carried his arm in sling for some
time as the result of kick from Bes-
sic, excuses his partner of fourteen
years for injuring him.
The mule is known to every en-
ployee of the mine, $50 in all, and
while there is no affection for her
among 449 of them, they all have a
wholesome respect for her in spite of
her contrary disposition. 1t is mine
classic that she kicks the airpipe two
feet above her for exercise.
With Fred Wales, however, it is diff
ferent. He has worked with Bessie
for fourteen years and has become at
tached to the animal. He excuses her
vagaries as an indulgent mother con-
dones the actions of spoiled child.
1t is merely matter of tempera-
ment, he says, and the other men do
not understand her. His faith was
shaken temporarily. but not for long
In the physicians office he took Of
tense at a suggestion that the mule
should be killed on account of her
viciousness and rushed to her defense.
'It was perhaps my fault; it certain
ly was not hers Bessie either did not
know who it was when she kicked or
| had forgotten to give her the usual
chew Of tobacco. | am willing to tax
all the blame"

Boys in Camp.

l.. w. Quinlan has received a
letter from Marine Drumm, one
of his former employees, but now
with the 1st Arizona in camp at
Naco. Marine also sent along a
picture of himself in full regalia,
and as he remarks in his letter
beans and hardtack seem to be
agreeing with him. He is the
regimentaI bugler, and he has a
regular assignment for Sunday
owing to his proficiency in play
ing the church calls. He reports
all the boys in good spirit and
fast developing into first class
soldiers. The regiment will soon
leave for California to join the
concentration camp at Linda

Twas an Arizona Girl.

Mrs. John Carter, of Douglas,
is the young woman who mas
queraded as soldier, and ac-
companied her husband, Corporal
Carter, across the sea, and was
only detected by the officers just
prior to landing. She has been
returned to her home by the gov
ernment. Mrs. Carter was
Miss Hazel Blowser, and about a
year ago was married to Carter,
who was with the 18th Infantry
stationed at Naco. When the
order came that the regiment was
to be sent to France, Mrs. Carter
determined to accompany her
husband, cut her hair short,
dressed in a regulation uniform,
and with the connivance of the
other members of the company
got safely away. There are a lot
of plucky Arizona girls who
would make good soldiers if they
were called to duty.

Sudden Death of Pioneer.

P. S. Wren, one of the pioneers
of Yavapai county, was found
dead in his bed in the Pioneers
Home Thursday morning of last
week by j. F. Mahoney, who had
just taken charge of the institu-
ton. For the past two yaars Mr..
Wren has been the superinten-
dent of the home, and only the
day previouslhad turned the place
over to Mr.. Mahoney. He was
apparently in his usual health
during the early evening, and
death must have claimed him as
he was about to retire, as he was
found lying across the bed dress
ed in his night clothes.

No Rain at Holbrook.

With all the big rains that have
visited Winslow during the past
week, not a drop of water has
fallen at Holbrook. and the citi-
zen are wondering why. There
are two good reasons perhs ps.
One is that the Scriptures recite
that it rains on the just and the
unjust, and Holbrook cannot ex-
pect any rain until Winslow has
it's full share. Then it is possible
Old Pluvius has no record of
such place as Holbrook. How
ever, if Old Pluvius will start his
sprinkler operating about thirty
eight miles east of Winslow, and
proceed in a westerly direction
along the right-of-way of the
Santa Fe road, he will pass over
the spot where the town is To-
Gated. He will know he is in the
right section when he sees a flock
of county steel bridges over
every draw and canyon, because
they don't build steel bridges
any place else in the county.
We love these people, notwith-
standing all their sins of omission
and commission, even including
Braxton of the News, and we
hope they get a good soaking
rain.

Tale of Woe.

George Reyes had really more
than his share of grief last Sat
urday. He wanted to make a
quick run out to the BLY, ranch, so
he hired a big racing car for the
trip. With flying start he got
out in the hills about twelve
miles, and the car went dead.
Ihen 1t commenced to rain, and
no retreat in sight. A camp fire
was built, and he and the chauf-
fer rolled up in their blankets to
seek repose, but the blankets
were- too short for Keyes.
When he covered up his head he
uncovered his feet, and when he
covered his feet his head was ex-
posed to the elements, and his
slumbers were ftful. Then the
camp fire got unruly, and the
chautfer lost good pair of shoes
and a blanket. The balance of
the night was given over ito
on the racing5:car
and the weather, and at daylight
the engine was fixed and they
returned to town. Mr.. BLY, does
not yet know why Keyes was in
such a hurry to see him.

Red Cross Notes.

Branch Red Cross organiza-
tons of the Winslow Chapter
have now been formed in St.
Johns, Holbrook, SpringerviEle
and Eagar. Holbrook has II
members, St. Johns 40, end
Springerville- Eagar 100. St.
Johns contributed $267. 90 to the
Red Cross War Fund. Springer
ville-Eagar has sent $207. 90 to
the treasurer, $102 having been
raised at two dances.
Snowflake has advised the
Chapter that a branch will be
formed there early in August.
Part of the 100000 900 War
Fund will be used to.build houses
for convalescent soldiers who are
able to leave the hospital but not
yet fit for duty.
Col. J. R. Kean has been re-
called from service with the Red
Cross Division of Military Relief,
and will be sent to France in
charge of 100 ambulance corps to
be furnished from the Red Cross
War Fund.
There are still a few noble wo-
men, patriotic and self-sacriicing
to a sufficient degree, who con-
tinue to 60 to Red Cross head
quarters during these hot days
to sew and make surgical dress
ings for our wounded heroes on
the battlefield. Another urgent
call for surgical dressings was
received by the Red Cross yes
terday, but we are unable to fill
the order. Unless the cooler
weather and the drafting of SOL
diers heightens the patriotic fer
vor of our women, many soldiers
will die on the battlefield due to
the want of surgical dressings.
