Little Herbie Hoover.

Little Herbie Hoover's come to our HON,
to stay
To make US scrape the dishes clean,
an keep the crumbs away,
An learn US to make war bread, an
save up all the grease,
For the less we eat of butter, the sooner
we'll have peace,
An all us other children, when our
scanty meal is done,
We gather around the fire an has the
mostest fun
A-listenin' to the proteins that Herbie
tells about,
An the Galleries that git you
Eff you don't watch out!
An little Herbie Hoover says, when the
fire burns low,
An the vitamines are creepin' from the
shadows, sof and slow,
You better eat the things the Food Folk
says they's plenty of,
An cheat the garbage pail, an give all
butchers meat the shove,
An gather up the corn pone an vegeta-
bles an fish,
An don't get fresh a-talkin' of what 20,
won't do without,
Or the Caloriee'll git you
Eff you don't watch out!
Sophie Kerr, in Life.

What World War Means.
(By George T. Winston. }

(by George l. WlnSton.)
The significance of the World War
lies in the manifest interdependence of
all the nations of the earth; not only in
industries and commerce, but also in
ideals, principles and systems of govern
ment and ethics.
Universal education and free oppor-
tunities are necessary foundations for
democracy. Universal democracy is the
only safeguard of the world, and dark.
est Africa" is a menace to brightest
Boston" Every vice, crime and oppres.
sion in any community is menace to
the whole community. The raping OF
Belgium is the raping of humanity; the
sinking of the Lusitania is the scuttline
of freedom; and Serbia, Poland and Ar.
menia are in the true sense colonies oil
humanity.
The world cannot endure half free
and half slave, half democratic and halt
autocratic. 1t must become all the one
or all the other. No man can be perfect
ly free until all men are free No man
can be perfectly wise until all men are
wise. No man can be perfectly good un.
til all men are good. The United States
cannot be perfectly free until Belgium
is freed, until Poland, Serbia and Ar,
menia are freed, until Germany and
Austria are freed.

How To Help The Kaiser.

by Thedosia Garrison, of the Vigilantes. }
One can help the kaiser very much in
little ways.
Accept these few suggestions to aid his
troubled days:
Eat hearty breakfast, the sort you
always do,
Take three Jumps of sugar instead of
merely two;
Glance through the morning papers,
ignoring those appeals
That follow, earnest mendicants, on one
another's heels.
Why should one spoil a pleasant day
with things that touch the heart
Since every penny one withholds helps
Wilhelm do his part?--.-
But read instead the pleasant bits, ad.
vertisements that shine
With laces, furs and pretty things
and choose your place to dine:
Put in and easy afternoon upon the
avenue,
A matinee, a cup of ea,--..these help,
they really do:.--- .-,u --- u.
And when the lights of evening burn
and you have wined and dined
Go hear German opera that elevates
the mind;
And once at home sit down in peace
before your glowing log
And knit cunning sweater for your
darling little dog.
So do your bit for Germany in these
unfriendly days.
One can help the kaiser very much in
little ways.

@, You Hoover.

My Tuesdays are meatless my Wednes-
days are wheatless,
I'm getting more eatless each day;
My home it is heatless, my beds they
are sheetless,
We've sent them to the Y. M. c. A.
My club it is treatless, my coffee is
sweetess,
Pm getting each day poorer and wiser;
My socks they are feetless, my trousers
are seatless,
My goodness! how l do hate that old
Kaiser!

The Meaning of The Flag.

Our flag has but three colors:
The red, the white, the blue.
Each has for us meaning
Which / will tell to you.
The red bars teach US bravery
To tear naught but the wrong
To be oppression's enemy
In freedoms battle strong.
The white bars teach US purity
In word and thought and deed,
To hear, to think or speak no i'll,
The Golden Rule to heed.
The blue field, blossoming with stars
Teaches us to be true
Unto ourselves and others
In everything we do.
This trinity Of colors,
Should teach us all to be
Good citizens Of our great land
America, the free.

We are coming, Mother England, We are
coming millions strong,
Hands across the sea are reaching,
gripped to rid the world of wrong;
We are coming, stricken Belgium,
there with YOU to face the foe,
Pledged to make the naughty Prussian
pay in full for all your woe.
We are coming, France, our sister.
the glorious and fair,
By your side we'll soon be fighting in
the trenches, in the air;
And the Hun shall feel the power OF the
men from Ger the sea,
We are coming and are swearing that
this whole world shall be free.
We are coming, fair Italia. land from
which Columbus came,
We, Columbia's sons are coming, coming
in Columbia's name,
Now to raise our starry banner where a
Caesar wore crown,
Knowing that when once we raise it,
naught on earth shall tear it down.
We are coming, German Kaiser, call
your hosts from hill and plain,
Mass your men and mass your cannon,
but your work will be in vain.
We are coming, German Kaiser, and
our coming sounds the knell,
Of your boosted German Kultur that
has made on earth hell.
We are coming, Men of Europe, we
are coming millions strong,
There to stay and ne'er to falter, tho
the fight be hard and long.
ITO the end shall be our slogan..-.for
the world it SHALL be free,
And the evil power of despots crushed
at last on land and sea.
Hohenzollers Hapsburgs, hearken
to the fast approaching beat,
Of the footsteps of nation that has
never known defeat,
Clad in armor of the righteous, caring
naught for German might,
We are coming, we are coming, there
to win or die for right.

Forever we'll be true.

A Song for Flay Day.

Out on the breeze, DER land and seas,
A beautiful banner is streaming.
Shining its stars, splendid its bars,
Under the sunshine it's cleaning.
Over the brave, long may it wave,
Peace to the world ever bringing.
While to the stars, linked with the bars
Hearts will forever be singing.

In a field of blue.

(From Tuesdays Daily)

Captain W. F.. Beck. better known as Cyclone Bill" of border fame Is 10 wheel into line at his old game of guessing at the way the wind will blow this year politically in Arizona. Without committing himself to any particular person he stated yesterday he has picked ont the best man in thc state 10 be elected governor in November.
 That's sufficient, isn't it," he said, without one going into further de tails to pluck the pin feathers too close" he concluded. Captain Beck .has specialized on winning candidates for the principal offices in Arizona for over a third of century and has never missed fire on a single shot. He returned from Fort Sam Houston to vote at the primary, and stated he would again make Prescott his per mancnt home He knows every trail and nearly every pioneer from the Friscoes in the north to the Dragoons in the south. and has them all sized up at the ballot box.

SLAYER OF AUTO DRIVER |S DEAD
 AT K|NGMAN
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Frank Lacey, the Mohave county deputy sheriff who was convicted in the Yavapai Superior court in March on a charge of killing George Smith, an Oatmau auto driver while the lat ter was bringing in load of intoxi- cants from Needles, died in King man on Saturday last at the age of 7l years. It is said that Lacey griev- ed himself to death over the killing of Smith, the stage driver having been a good friend of the officers. Lacey was convicted of manslaughter as result of his trial here, but was released from the Florence peniten- tiary by the parole board after having served about two weeks.
 Several weeks ago Lacey, who was night jailer at Kingman, was given a severe beating by Neal Broaded when the latter made his escape from the lookup, and shortly afterwards Lacey was taken to a hospital but never seemed to recover.

NJ RAISE MADE BY ?. ). M. CO.
 IN PRICES

BISBEE. Aug. 20. - The reports coming from Butte, Montana, indi- cate that the recent wage increase has by no means cleared up the labor situation at this place, because of the fact that the merchants are profiteer- ing. Immediately upon the an nouncement of the new wage scale, retail prices were universally raised.
 An investigation of the possibilities of similar conditions in Arizona has disclosed fhe fact that while some Of the small dealers have raised prices to some extent, taking advantage of prosperous times, the larger compan- ies have not done so. The ten stores of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Co.,. have absolutely made no raise in re- tail prices
 Contrary to the general supposi- ton that the price of food stuffs has been rising regularly, an analysis of the prices of the Phelps Dodge Mcr- cantilc CO. reveals that during the past SIX months there has been no increase in the cost of living in so far as food is concerned. Of course there have been variations up in some cases and down in others, but the average is maintained. It Is also interesting to note in such an analy- SIS that the P. D. stores situated in company-owned towns, those with out competition, carry lower prices than the stores of the company locat- cd under the usual conditions of com- petition and trade.
 For comparative purposes key list Of groceries and provisions is used in investigations of the cost of food stuffs. This key list is supposed to be sufficient for a family of five for one month. The value of the list. however. is in the standardization of the goods for which prices are secur- cd. This list shows that during the past six months the grocery and pro- vision bill for a family of five should be from S69 to S74, the month of June showing the low mark.
