Gently saying that the sum of 100000
had accrued to the receiver of the
Washington-Alaska bank. Consider
able of this is the result of the several

LIBERTY LOAN BUTTON
 IS A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty Loan button is badge of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who has performed a distinct, definite service to the coun- try.
 Not all can fight, not all can work directly for the Government; but in buying a Liberty Loan Bond, of War Savings Stamps, every American ren- ders some service to the Nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citizen to aid the United States financially; it is poor American who withholds support from the Government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battle fields.
 Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond orders exchanged between Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the honors of atrocity. But Liberty Loan Button, simply as it is, signifies a patriotic duty done and is an insignia of honor.

ing the past week. At the close of their day on Tuesday s4,627.12 was the amount of their receipts, passing far beyond the record of the Ma sons made during the foregoing week. The past week has been a most profit able one in the sale of stamps and the grand total of the entire drive is al ready assuming an amount beyond the expectations of the committee. On Friday of last week the Rebekahs were in charge and $1,323.73 was placed to their credit. On Saturday the school took in s1,336.40; on Mon day the Woman's Club $616.79; Tues day, I. O. O. F., $4,627.12; Wednesday, Knights of Pythias, $2,OS3.69, and on Thursday the Labor organizations about $400.00. A large number of or ders- were taken on the companies on Thursday which would greatly in- crease their sales. These orders are taken out semi-monthly. On Thurs day evening of this week the entire sales had reached about $1S,00O00 in cash, and the final total is merely guessed over $25, 100000. It has again been demonstrated that Morenci al- ways comes to the front when called on financially and the immense sale of stamps is certainly a credit to all who have participated.

tUMBERJACKSz GUT 5ENGL|SH FORESTS
BRITAIN SACRIFICES HER AN. CESTRAL HERITAGEs TO THE ExIGENCIES OF WAR THAT DEMOCRACY MIGHT LIVE-

England's ancestral forests, jealus- ly guarded by many generations of Englishmen, are rapidly being cut down by American brawn.
 Word of this latest sacrifice of sen- timent to necessity, came to this country recently in reports of the progress of the ten saw mill units which New England contributed to the common warfare against autocracy.
 These units, numbering over 300 sturdy lumberjacks, recruited by the Boston Committee on Public Safety from the backwoods of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, have been busily engaged for some time in the forests around which much of the best English literature has been writ ten.
 History in the making rather than that of centuries past, however, leaves it's impression upon the northwoods representatives of America as they turn out in hundreds of thousands of feet of the lumber so necessary to Army progress in constructing billets. bridges, trenches, dugouts and the other requirements of Mars.
 Last Stronghold Being ObIiterted.
 AS they level the forests which are the last strongholdS of the Old Eng land many of their forefathers knew. the men are' unmoved by imagination, except when some lumberiack con- jures up mental picture of the forces responsible for Belgium and the Lusi- tania, and swings an extra vigorous and vicious stroke in consequence.
 The units are scattered along the banks of river for ten miles and each is small community in itself. gathered around a central hut presid- ed over by Young Mems Christian Association secretary, where the men assemble for amusement in their Ieis- ure hours.
 To illustrate the inexhaustible ener- gy of the men-the statement that basketball is the most popular amuse- ment after hours of vigorous work means much to those who know the strenuous possibilities of the game.
 During their Christmas holidays over half the men paid visit to London where they were accommodated at the Eagle Hut of the American Y. M. c. A. Several days were spent ac- quifing experiences which will be re- told in American numbering camps for many years to come.

During the past several weeks, an unusual number of burros have been running loose over the hills, and most of them carrying large sore or an in- jlry of some description. Our atten- tion has been directed toward this nuisance by quite a few people, and such meanderings should be stopped. Ii IS Q disturbance to every one and there is absolutely no reason that these burros should not be caught and confined in one corral. The owner calling for his beast could be prompt ly fined and it is safe bet, few if any burros would be found wandering around and disturbing people.
