Uncle Sam Is to Conserve
Gold Only by Distributing
1t For the Essential Uses
Need a new gold tooth?
Ga;,c, - ,x,oJ J,,,t y, n, &bo rr-or .

Need new gold tooth?
Going to wed during the war?
Better order that ring right away.
Expecting to invest in gold luXurieS?
Better forget that-it can't be done
during this mans war;
For our Uncle Sam has decided to
keep little red book on the gold sup
ply.
The gold administrator may not
come to rival the fuel administrators,
the food conservator and the gasoline
checker.
But gold-the commodity-will here
after be distributed in bullion as the
wholesale manufacturing jeweler and
the dentist and other finer craftsmen
set forth their absolute requirements.
Use of gold, the commodity, will be
restricted to the essentials.
An officer of the assay Office ex-
plains as follows:
CAS- far as we know, first instruc-
tons to stop exchanging gold bullion
for gold coin or cash has been rescind-
ed. We have resumed the exchange in
a modified or restricted way. The fu-
ture course will be governed by the
drain that is made on the supply. Ii
will work out as simply as the cam
paigns to conserve sugar, wheat, fuel
and gasoline. And in close way the
plan follows the same general pur-
pose. The government will keep track
of its gold supply, see who needs it
and who gets it, and will stop any at
tempts to hoard it"

How the German L-aborer
Is Chained to His Job

Control of labor power in Germany
is absolute, according 10 information
obtained from that country. lust how
each workman is chained TO his job
may be realized when it is known that
he cannot change positions without the
written consent either of his employ
or or of a board of seven members
appointed by the military authorities.
The boards of seven include an army
officer rs chairman. two government
officials, two employers. and two work
ingmen. The workingmen. therefore
not only have small representation on
the board. but are denied the opportu-
nifty of choosing their own representa-
t.ees. for that is undertaken by the
war office.

THE FUTURE

What may take into the vast forever?
That marble door
Admits no fruit of all our long endeavor,
No fame-wreathed crown we wore,
Nor garnered lore.
What can. we bear beyond the unknown
portal
No gold, no gains
OF all toiling life; in the life immortal
No boarded wealth remains,
Nor gilds, nor stains.
Naked from out that far abyss behind us
We entered here;
No word came with our coming, to remind
us
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no fear.
Into the silent, starless night before us,
Naked We glide;
No hand has mapped the consultations
Ger us,
No comrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
Yet fearless toward that midnight, black
and hollow,
Our footsteps fare;
The reckoning of q Fathers hand we
follow
His love alone is there,
No curse, no care.

TOO MUCH LOST MOTION.

One of the most overworked bu- reaus in the Federal organization is the government printing office. As can easily be imagined it has been overwhelmed with emergency war printing of every conceivable charac- ter. Nevertheless time has been found to print voluminous table of statistics entitled, "Real Estate in Excess of 800 Acres Used for Agri- cultural Purposes in Porto Rico" Doubtless the document will be of ab- sorbing interest to officials connected with the Porto Rican Agricultural Department, but when income tax re- turn blanks, and other printing of an equally imperative nature, have been forced to wait it would seem that ag- ricultural statistics of the kind de- scribed might we'll be laid aside for the present. Although insignificant in itself, the incident shows the need of some superior authority at Wash ington to prevent needless work by any Executive Bureau.

DIFFERENT WITH OLD ABE.

Those good people who are fond of likening President Wilson to Abraham Lincoln will concede that there is one notable difference between the two men. This difference is illustrated by a story told of Lincoln during the Civil War. A man of unquestioned loyalty went to the White House to persuade Lincoln to give him a pass through the lines so that he might visit his brother. Mr. Lincoln sug- gested that the man see General Hal leck, but was informed that Halleck had already refused a pass. "Then you had better see Secretary Stan ton", was suggested. "I have tried him and he refused" said the peti- tioner. "Then I am afraid I cannot do anything for you," replied Presi- dent Lincoln, "for the fact is that I have very little influence with this administration" In this administra- tion the members of the cabinet are completely under the influence of the President. They wouldn't be there otherwise.

EMERSON SCHOOL NOTES Happenings Among the Pupils
 of the Public School

Monday and Tuesday were so nice that both pupils and teachers were on the point of quitting and going to the woods for picnic. But, alas, Wednesday chilled our desires.
 292 pupils of the Emerson school joined the Junior Red Cross last Tues day and are getting busy making all sorts of needed articles for the sol diers, needy Belgians, etc. They hope soon to begin on the work of salvage in Flagstaff. It is expected that the work will be taken up by the other school of our city soon.
 The thrift stamp drive still con tinues. The increase for the past week has brought our number up to 1771. The room which increases its purchase of thrift stamps the most any one week has the schools prize banner for the week following. Last week the Fourth grade carried away the honors. The pupils who have purchased War Stamps since our last writing are: Irinne Frederick, 6; Lulu Denver, |; Anne Amelia Noble, 2; Epifania Baca, 1; Loren Scoville, 1; John McWilliams, 1; Marciana Baca, 1; Jimmie Johnston, 1; Nick Baca, l; Katie Bean, 1.
 We are to have a grand picture dis play at the Emerson March 1916. Ad- vertising will begin soon. Children will be around to sell you tickets at 10 cents each. About 200 large pictures will be displayed and orders for the same may be left at the school. The proceeds will be used for the purchase of pictures for the school.
 Mrs. John Parsons and daughter, Mrs. Stahl, Mrs. Allsup, Mrs. Bartlett, Mrs. Beard, Mrs. Harrison, and Mir Rees have been visitors at the school recently.

MEATH SPANDAU'S TOWER.

Among the communities in German ny where serious strikes have been re- ported is the city of Spandau, near Berlin. At Spandau is the famous Julius Tower where the German war chest was kept. The nucleus of the fund, according to tradition, was the huge indemnity wrung from the con quered French in 1871 and to it were added from time, other large sums of gold--probably exaggerated. It is fair to assume that the war chest at Spandau is now much depleted, if not wholly exhausted; so that strike there will involve no danger on that score. But that strike should occur beneath the shadow of the Julius Tower is almost as ominous as if one had taken place beneath the windows of the palace at Potsdam.

CONSERVATION vS. EFFICIENCY

Hoover charges McAdoo and Me Adoo charges Hoover and both admit that there will be food shortage and a serious ohe in the east during the next sixty days. There has been a coal shortage all the winter. Hoover says the food is in, the country but un- der the McAdoo management of the railroads it has not been distributed. McAdoo says it ain't so, yet the peo- pie face the shortage just the same. A disagreement between Hoover and McAdoo won't feed hungry mouth. The fact remains, as is well known in this section of the country, we have many carlods of potatoes and no mar ket; back east they have plenty of money and no potatoes. On the same basis of conservation" or whatever you may wish to call it, we have coal fields untouched, oil fields shut down, water power undeveloped, the whole world has no better, all locked up by the government-saving it for future generations while there is food, fuel and other shortages staring us in the face right now.
 Conservation sounded mighty good to the people for a time, but it has come to pass that the people would a heap rather have some of the de- velopment work done now so that our vast resources could be used in an emergency such as the one that now confronts us.
