ing each day They need these dress
ings and whatever an American sol
dier and our allies need or require
should be furnished Immediately and
plenty of it. They should not want
for one moment. Even the tick of a
clock should not pass by finding one
of these brave heroes in need of at
tention.
1t is up to us who stay at home to
see that these supplies are furnished.
1t is up to the men to go to this auc-
ton, and buy, after they have con-
tributed bountifully to the auction.
The women will do the rest, il the
men will furnish the money.
The committees named to make
canvas of the town and county start
ed out today. They will be out again
tomorrow. When they call upon you,
do not turn them away empty handed.
Give them something, and something
you know will sell.

VISIT
 NORTHERN STRIP

J.N. Cohenour, sheriff; S. D. Stew art, county attorney; Charles Lynch and L. H. Foster, supervisors; Frank L. Hunt, assessor, have made an off cial visit to the north part of the county, going out by way of Needles. Las Vegar, St. Thomas, Littlefield and St. George, and then into the north part of the county. They looked over the proposed road construction and bridge site near Littlefield and also at the proposed road into the eastern part of the county, near Fredonia. They were much impressed with the possibilities of the country and will do all possible to give the people good roads and the necessary advantage of a bridge across the Virgin river.
 This is the first official visit ever paid that section by the officers and the people were very much pleased with this showing of interest in their welfare. Northern Mohave county is fast coming to the front as an agri- cultural and mining section, as well as inviting ranchers and cattlemen to settle among the grass-clad mesas.

HIGH GRADE ABRAsIvEs

Tremendous expansion in manufac- turing in 1917, particularly in the steel and metal industries, is reflected by the increased production of high-grade abrasive materials in the United States. A preliminary compilation by Frank J. Katz, United States geologi- cal survey, department of the Interior, of reports on the production of emery, corundum, and artificial abrasives in 1917 indicates a total of 72,276 short tons, valued at $8,3255,312, which is an increase of 33 per cent in quantity and TIP per cent in value as compared with 1916.
 The production of emery from the PeeksBill district, N. r., amounted to 14,842 short tons, very little less than in 1916;the production of corundum in North Carolina was 820 short tons, a large increase over 1916; and the pro duction of crude artificial abrasive ma terials in the United States and Can ada, which are largely prepared for use in the United States, amounted to 57,614 short tons, which was AS per cent more than the production in 1916.

THE ROSE TREE
 jHONORS PLAYERS

Lear Staten and wife, of the Rose Tree Candy Shop, "done themselves proud"last Wednesday evening when they entertained in honoa of the girl ball players.
 Their place of business was given over to a number of tables most taste fully decorated, balls, bats, masks and other baseball accoutrement being in- termingled with flowers and other dec orations.
 An entertaining musical program was provided, several vocal solos by Matthew F. Dennis and a number of piano selections by Mrs. Guy A. Mensch being rendered, which were more than enjoyed by the crowd.
 Refreshments were served, before and after which many responses came at the call of the toastmaster.
 The one disappointment of the eve ming and that fortunately only a slight one, was the unearthing of two silent speakers. They have since promised, however, that never again will they respond in silence.
 k. Elmo Bollinger made a short ad- dress to the girls and announced the receipts of the game Sunday which was as follows: Total receipts from all sources S21O.S5, less S76, which was paid out for Thrift Stamps, and $29 miscellaneous expenses, leaving a net cash balance of $105.S5, which has been turned into the treasury of the Red Cross. It developed also at this meeting that it is more than likely that a picked team from the two Bloomer Girl aggregations will go to Needles within a week or so to cross bats with the Elks' club of that place, the proceeds to go to the Red Cross.

SQUAw INJURED

Tuesday last at noon an automobile driven by Guy Mensch backed over an aged Wallapsi squaw, knocking her down and baily bruising one leg and cutting her scalp. She was at once placed under the care of Dr. Bowes, who sutured the scalp and bound up her wounds. While she was not seri- ously injured her injuries were quite painful. She had a narrow escape, as the car was a heavy one and one wheel passed over her leg.

SHALL WE SEE IT
 THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding it nee essary to call upon us three times within a year to provide by subscrip- tions to Liberty Loans, sums of money hitherto considered of fabulous pro- portions. These facts should inn press upon us as no mere words could do, the intense seriousness, the stern necessities, of the situation.
 Continued acquaintance with the more serious aspects of life is apt to breed indifference, and to distort our mental vision. As the soldier shud- ders with horror at his first sight of carnage, but later becomes hard ened, so are we apt to become com placent under conditions which call actually for increasingly strenuous effort.
 The Liberty Loan with it's original accompaniment of novelty and noise appealed to our national love of a new sensation, In the Third Cam paign much of the novelty will be lacking, but the serious purpose be- hind the campaign will have grown. Our money was needed when both the First and Second Liberty Loans were floated, but it will be more than ever needed when the Third Loan is called for Our army has grown, our national payroll has grown, the needs of our allies have grown, the necessity of forever banishing the un- speakable menace of Prussianism has grown. No longer can we hope that the entrance of this country into the struggle will induce an early peace. More arrogant, more desperate than even the German Government putsI forward it's impossible claims upon the rights and life of humanity.
 Ou- Government in it's growing need is calling upon us to give up our luxuries, is conscripting the lives of our sons. is controlling trade, labor, and prices, with an ever increasing earnestness and frmness Of pur- pose.
 The test of our personal strength of character and determination is at hand. Your Government pleads with you very earnestly to preach and practice both before and during the | next Liberty Loan Campaign a stead 1 fastness of purpose, an unselfsh pa- triotism, which shall reflect the spirit | of a man who having set his hand | to the execution of a necessary task l would rather lose that hand than draw it back. This is the spirit of | our President, of our allies-it is ! surely our own.

FIND STOLEN STUFF
Officers Reveal Goods in Raid on
Robert Floyd Home.

The accumulation of worldly goods
seems to have been the chief ambi-
ton of Robert Floyd, a negro porter
employed in the barber shop under
the Bank of Topeka IN the Mulvane
building, who was arrested Monday
afternoon by Officers George Frost and
Ed Ransom, piainciothes men, on the
charge of stealing $40 worth of clothes
from the tailor shop of Geo. NJ. Ham
mel, also in the Mulvane building.
When arraigned in the court of To-
peka, Floyd denied the charge and
in default of $500 bond was placed in
jail. A trip to .his<house at 2046 Fill
more street by the officers revealed
clothes answering the description of
thosH stolen from Ham mel A great
accumulation of other goods, some of
them recognized as articles which
came up missing from several places
about town during the last few
months, were also found on the place.
To-Day the police visited the place
again and found a rug belonging to
F. H. Brown, 434 Clay street, which
was stolen some time ago. It is
thought by officers th-.t Floyd may
now be able to explain the disappear
ance OF diamond cuff buttons and a
diamond stick pin belonging to A. A.
Robinson. This jewelry disappeared
when FLOYD was working about the.
Robinson place between Ninth and
Tenth streets on Tyler streets, during
Mr.. Robinsons illness about two
months ago. Floyd furnished bond to-
day and was released from Jail.
