ALL new PILOTS
MathewsOn, Hendricks and

They Are Building Up the
Western N. l.. Clubs.
BY JACK vEIOCK.

New York, June 12.-The task of
building up the western clubs of the
National league lies with four new
managers.
None of these pilots has as yet
served two years as a manager.
Mitchell and Mathewson are serving
their second seasons, while Bezdek
and Hendricks are in the midst of
their first full pennant races as pilots.
The unlimited moneybags behind
the Chicago Cubs put Fred Mitchell
in a commanding place when he first
took the reins of the Chicago club.
But during his first season as sue
cessor of Joe Tinker, Mitchell was
forced to do a lot of experimenting, so
that this season afforded him his first
real chance.
Reds Still Strong.
Christy Mathewson's success with
the Cincinnati Reds last year was

FUEL ADMINISTRATOR
 ADVISES CONSERVATION

As an aid to the educational cam paign to save coal, the United States fuel administration has decided on January 30, 1918, as national Tag Your-Shovel-Day." On that day school children will tie tags, bearing instruc- tions for coal saving, to every coal shovel in the country. This tag should remind each man, woman and child who uses a coal shovel that every shovelful of coal saved means just 9 much additional power and help anI support for the American soldier and sailor on the firing line.
 c. NJ. Shannon, fuel administrator for Arizona, is asking every teacher to make frequent talks to the children, pointing out the great good that will result if every child does its part, and also talks on coal conservation in gen eral. The valuable help rendered by school children throughout the country in the last Liberty loan drive shows that much good can be accomplished through them, and if all will heed the advice printed on the tags to be put on every shovel by the school children on Tag r-Shovel-Day," it will aid materially in making up the shortage of coal, estimated at 50,0O0,OOO tons by U. s. Fuel Administrator H. A. Garfield.

TWO BITS A DAY CLUBS

In Phoenix, a movement has been inaugurated for the formation of 1.-Two Bits a Day" clubs, the mem- beri of which are to buy a quarters worth of thrift stamps every day. Three men each took a hundred thrift cards, pasted one stamp in each card, and sold the entire lot before two blocks had been covered.
 'Two-bits" is the old term, dating back to the early days of the country, for a quarter of a dollar, and is still used in the south and west. Every patriotic American now wants to 'do his bit;" the members of these clubs are carrying out this idea finely in doing their "two-bits" every day. It is hoped that the 1.-Two Bits a Day. clubs will be formed all over the country in the great war savings cam paign.

DEVELOP WATER POWER
 IS COMMITTEES DUTY

A Washington dispatch says a rule directing appointment of a special committee of IS members to take over jurisdiction of water power problems now dealt with by various committees was brought into the house today by the rules committee. Creation of the committee was agreed upon last week at a conferences of house leaders with President Wilson at the White House, the purpose being to establish a def mite legislative policy to develop the nations water power.
 The new committee will be named in short time and will begin consid- eration of the measure drawn by the interior, war and agricultural depart ments and which the president has urged congress to enact as speedily as possible. Army engineers estimate that 35,000,0O0 horsepower of the country's water power is wasted an- nually and the measure is dcSigned among other things to save this power.

INTERNAL REVENUE
 COLLECTOR WILL
 VISIT KINGMAN SOON

| In a communication received by this paper, Collector of Internal Revenue Louis T. Carpanter, announces that a federal tax officer will be sent into this county on February IS, and will be here until February 23, 1918. He will have his office in Kingman and Twill be there every day ready and willing to help persons subject to the income tax make out their returns without any cost to them for his services.
 ] Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made oE forms provided for the purpose before March 1, 1918. Be- cause a good many people don't un- derstand the law and won't know how to make out their returns, the govern ment is sending in this expert to do it for them. But the duty is on the tax payer to make himself known to the government. If he doesn't make re- turns as required before March l, he may have to pay a penalty ranging from $20 to 5000, pay a fine or go to jail So if you don't want to take chances on going to jail, you better call on the income tax man. If you are not sure about being subject to the tax, better ask him and make sure. Whether you see the income tax man or not, you must make return if sub ject to tax.
 Of ,o,,,eo ,,aysoy,e yasidan+ in Othar counties may, if they want to, come and sed the income tax man who will be at Kingman.
 The collector suggests that every body start figuring up now his income and expenses so as to be ready with the figures when the expert arrives. Expenses, however, don't mean fam fly expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machi- nery, buildings, or anything like that. They mean what you spend in making your money-interest, taxes paid, hir- ed help, amount paid for goods sold, seed, stock bought for feeding, rent (except for your dwelling), etc. h. come includes about every dollar you got.
