SAVE WINTER OATS FOR SEED.

Washington, June 1S.-Farmers in the South who have winter oats of good quality are urged to save them for seed rather than to feed them. This crop winter killed very generally over the south last winter, and spec ialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture say the indica- tions are that the seed supply will be very short. Many counties in the southeastern states will have to pur chase all their seed from other locali- ties, and those favored sections where a partial or full crop was produced should save every available bushel to meet this demand. Farmers are urged to feed corn or other grain to work stock or to purchase northern-grown spring oats for feeding in order to save the winter oats for sowing.
 Because of the scarcity of winter oats of good quality those who have them are quite sure to profit by saw ing them for seed rather than feeding them. Farmers who do not know where they can sell seed oats should communicate with their county agent, the director of their state experiment station, or R. A. Oakley, chairman, committee on seed stocks, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c. Present indica- tions are that there will be a ready market for all good seed of this crop this year.

things which we women want. and then ask our help at the polls, that it may have better chance of ratifca- tion. This is one of the greatest op- portunities that we could possibly have.
 Goes Into School Fund.
 Let us do our share in the war ser vice, but let us not forget that the matter of the state constitution is very much more important than the war, because the war will soon end, God willing, and the constitution will remain with us for generations. It is a matter of qualification to us that this dollar poll tax goes into our school fund and while our men are engrossed in the things that pertain to war, the educational interests of the state will be more than ever the special concern of the women.
 If you have not paid your poll tax, do it now.

Warning

We are informed that at some cafes, res taurants and gardens beer and strong drinks have been sold under the guise of the popular soft drink, Bevo.
 These reports have been confirmed suf- iiciently to compel Us to take action. The beverage Bevo enjoys the pro- lection of both federal and state authority. In preparing it for sale and in marketing it, we adopt every possible precaution to protect the public against imposition and to prevent evasion of the law. Bevo is sold in bottles only, we bottle all of it ourselves, and we have adopted kind of bottle, crown and seals designed to prevent imitation.
 We shall omit no measure within our power to defend the authority under which Bevo is manufactured and sold, to protect the public from imposition, and to safeguard the good name of this Association.
 We therefore give fair warning that we shall refuse to sell our products to those who are found guilty of the above offense.

MONKEY GAN COUNT TO TEN AND |s PARTIAL TO OBR|CHT RED BALLOONS

Headed by Captain Congo, artist, electrician and mathematician, a dele gation of more than 100 Simians are now migrating in this direction and will arrive here Monday, Septem- Der r.
 The jungle party will include mon- keys of all species and sizes from the Marmosets of the Brazilian forests, no larger than squirrels, to Black Ben, a giant ape from the Soudan. But, from the smallest to the largest, these Dar- win proteges look upon "Old Cap. Congo" as the chief of their colony. He has won command by reason of brains rather than brawn. In the opin- ion of scientists, Congo is the most intelligent of all simians. In the role of mathematician, he demonstrates his skill by counting marbles. A box is handed him which is supposed to con tain ten marbles and the knowing fel- low removes them one at a time. If his keeper places but nine in the box Congo will miss the tenth in an in stant and make obvious search for it. If~different colored balloons are placed in his cage he will invariably select the very reddest of them all, and he has never been known to fail to select a red apple from a dish of varied col ored fruit.
 But if these experiments give Congo pleasure his greatest joy is to be al lowed to take part in the wiring" of Rirglingville. All the Ringing circus tents are lighted by electricity. Every den in the 10S-cage zoo is illuminated with incandescent lamps and every tent has numerous flaming arcs. The electrical effects used in connection with the fairyland spectacle, Gin derella,' are alone sufficient to light a small-siZed village. So the, streets and areas of circusland must be wired" each day. The cables which carry the current from the immense portable dynamos are buried under ground. One of the cables of the menagerie tent is always laid near Coptain Congo's glass front apartment As soon as the men who dig the trench come into view the wise old monkey begins to beat on his window. Nor will he cease his racket until he is

ACCEPT BID ID PAVE
 FAST NORELAND q.

Paving matters occupied the atten- tion of the city commission largely throughout the entire regular session held yesterday morning. A protest filed previously against the paving of North Third street between Roosevelt street and the McDowen road was re- ported back from the engineering de- partment as being insufficient and no further action was taken. Resolutions were adopted approving the assess ment diagrams for the improvement of Monroe street from Central avenue to First avenue, and of Monroe street from First to Second avenues.
 The bid of the Southwestern Con- tracting company for the paving of East Moreland street from Central ave- nue to Seventh street was accepted. A communication from David Jones of this company was read. This stated that the company expected to complet. its contract on Monroe street from First avenue to Central avenue. from

MANY GIVEN AID AT
 CR|TEENTO|V HOME
 DURING PAST YEAR

Even in these strenuous days when people with an interest in unfortu- nate humanity find their time and finances taxed to the limit, the work of the Florence Crittenton Home in Phoenix is prospecting, and the past year has been one of the most suc- cessful in it's history.
 Forty -four cases have been cared for in the home, adults and children, several of whom were charity cases There have been six, births and at present there are thirteen inmates, four of whom are babies.
 Although the work done in this home is probably generally under stood by the people of Arizona and the southwest, it is the wish of the management to give as much public ity IS possible to this work and to cordially invite the cooperation of the public in general There are nc regular visiting days, but the home is open at all times to interested wis itors and information is gladly furn- ished. Owing to the nature of the work it is not possible to give pub licity to individual cases, but all in tereSted in the work of helping un- fortunate women and girls are cor dially welcomed.
 Although several of the cases cared for during the past year have been paid for by the county and state, there is Q great need at all times for donations and financial aid. The re- Sponse in the past has been gener- ous, and to those who have so kind ly aided us we are extremely grate- ful. Owing to the great increase in the cost of living we find ourselves, in Oe man ythings Fruit Of any kind old clothing, shoes, bedding, new mater ial and two taby buggies would be gratefully received There is no un- certainty in giving to this work, the need is here at all times and every thing donated is used here. All dn- nations of every description should be sent directly to the Florence Crit tenton Home and not to any indi- viduaL

 In the race for power and place, for ease of circumstance and relief from the stimulus of hunger, the modern man is apt to forget that unless he ia careful of his body he will soon. ba made to suffer for the .iDfrRotion of Natures memorable physical law. With the loss in body tone comes an equal loss in mental aeuity; and the brain, which for time was able to i operate despite. the complaints of an overfed, underexercised. self poisoned body, stops working,
 Statisticlans have discovered that the mortality rate of persona in. the United States over forty five yeara of age Is increasing. The strenuous life of today is not alone responsible for this. Lack of health giving eGerciEe, superfluity of diet, lack of restoring sleep, overstimulatiOn, tho high press ure of the race for power, wealth and position, plus physical neglect-these bring early decay. The goal Is reach ed-wealth is amassed-honor, post. ton and power are just being grasped when the apple of accomplishment turns to ashes of dissolution.

CHARLES DILDAY IS .lll
DOING HIS BIT

The following bit Of poetry from
the pen of Charles Dilday, who with
his parents from Racine, Wisconsin
are visiting friends here. The poem
is very apt and shows that lad only
ten years old can do his bit" in this
war by the use of his pen, which is
said to be "mightier than the sword.
Charles thought it out verse by
verse one night and wrote it in the
morning. 1t is entitled:
The Call
Uncle Sam was all ready,
With his money and his men
When he went to Mr.. Baker
And told him there and then.
That the Teutons with their U-boats
Were a-running over us
And that the good old u. S. A.
Must settle up the fuss.
So he went to tell the navy,
And all his other men
And he went to tell the farmers
To hurry up and then,
He went to tell the housewives
The economizing way,
And he came to tell us all
The happenings of the day.
Then we raised Old Glory above us,
In sky of azure blue,
And it starts the fires a-burning
In the heart of man and youth.
