TUBERCULOSIS
 AND THE WAR

Tuberculosis has killed as many persons in the four years of war as have been killed in battle." This is statement issued by Dr. Livingston Farrand, head of the American Tub erculosis Commission in France. Dr. Farrand calls attention to the fact that approximately 10000 men, as shown by available statistics, were re- jected in the first draft as tubercul- ous. Of the men who passed the draft boards, another 10000, follow ing a more searching examination, were subsequently, discharged on ac- count of tuberculosis, giving combin- ed total of 50,000.
 That the people of America throw themselves into the winning of the war against tuberculosis with the same zeal with which they have hurled themselves against the Hun is the burden of an appeal made by Dr. Far rand on the eve of his return to France.

HOPED NEW ENGINEER WILL DEVELOP NATIONAL
 OLD TRAILS HIGHWAY

Now that Thomas E. Campbell has been declared the governor-e of Arizona it is hoped that state engi- neer will be appointed who will de- vote few days of his time to the building of roads in the north part of the state. The National Old Trails highway is the only real road across the state that is worthy of namk', and this road could be made part of the great national highway if the state would give it just a small am- ount of attention. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars have been spent on the roadways in the south, which in cludes the bridging of wide canyons and through the toughest of countries. And then the west end of the road meets up with the great sand desert of the Colorado, every effort to compass which has been nullified by the drift ing sands.
 We all believe in great roadways across the continent, but when a state engineer reports that this is the ec- onomic road from a governmental standpoint he is mistaken. Every autoist who has had the hardihood to make the trip through the south feels that he has had something put over on him, and he has been telling the public everywhere of the horrors of the trip.

BAN ON CHRISTMAS
 BUYING |S LIFTED

The ban on Christmas buying has been lifted. The State Council of Defense has been notified of this fact in the following telegram received from the Council of National Defense |:
 Before the armistice the Council of National Defense composed of the Secretaries of War, Navy, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce and Labor en- tered into an agreement with repre- sentatives of leading industries and re- tail interests to the effect that the sale of Christmas goods should undergo certain restrictions with regard to the employment of labor during the Christmas season and the conservation of transportation and delivery facili- ties. Certain other agreements were likewise entered into.
 "The Council of National Defense now belives that, as one of the steps essential to the rapid establishment of normal after-the-war conditions, it should and it hereby does lift it's ban in connection with holiday buying in the desire to give a natural impetus to the reemployment to those normally engaged in the production of holiday material and in this holiday trade. The Council is further impelled to this de- cision by reason of the necessity now confronting us. to get our military forces and munition factory workers back to the ordinary pursuits of life with the least possible shock in mak- ing the change"

ARIZONA FAR BEHIND
 THRIFT STAMP QUOTA

Phoenix, Nov. 2S: Arizona is about
 two and a quarter millions short of
 Its Thrift Stamp quota for the year,
 according to latest figures compiled
 at state headquarters for the War
 SaVlngs Stamp campaign in this state. The figures for November are not vet available, of course, but it is realized that there is tremendous task before all the patriotic people of Arizona If the state is not to fail in this cam palgn. If failure comes it will be the flrst patriotic campaign since the war started in which Arizona has not met all requirements and more.
 Yavapai is the only county in the state which is up to it's quota. / On November 1 Coconino was not/quite dollar behind it's per capita average for the campaign. The third county in the state is Greenlee, which is about 70 cents per capita behind Coconino and Maricopa is the fourth with an average 40 cents per capita behind Greenlee.. In the order of their quota accomplishment the remaining coun- ties are Gila, Pinal, Cochise, Mohave, Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz, Graham, Navajo and Apache.
 December will tell the tale so far as Arizona is concerned and a great effort will be made during the com- ing month to meet the national re- quirement for this state. Douglas is holding a big drive to enable Cochise to come up with it's average and it is believed that this will take the most heavily populated county in the state up near the top.
 Maricopa County, for a long time in first place, has dropped into fourth position and all over the state there has been a stacking of the work be- cause of the patriotic campaigns which have taken place in the past two months. Now that they are fin lshed particular attention will be paid to the everpresent. work of selling Thrift Stamps to the patriotic people l of the Baby State.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK SALES REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov. 25-
 Cattle receipts were 2S000 head, mar
 ket steady to shade lower, no choice feed steers included. Hog supply was N2300O, market steady to 10 higher at the start, but weak at the finish, top $17.S0. Sheep and lambs today 13,- 900 market 15 to 25 lower no choice
 lambs here, top $15.
 Beef Cattle
 Receipts included a large number .of cattle from Colorado and other western states and some big strings
 of belated Kansas pasture cattle. Short fed steers sell at $14 to SIS, ] ith a very small number good enough to sell up to $19, although some show cattle sold on the open market last week at .$20 to $25, full carload at the latter price. Good western range beef steers weighing $50 pounds and up- wards sell at $14 to $16, lighter steers down to SIP, western grass cows $7.50 to $1O.50, canners $5 to $5.75, choice heavy native COWS up to SIS, veals $11 to S13.75. Receipts of cattle and cal yes here last week aggregated 1O1,- 900 head, but the supply will be ma terially smaller each week from now on with good price prospects for sell lers.
 StOckers and Feeders
 Kansas and Oklahoma wheat fields are making fine growth and many cattle went out to them in the last week. Feeders are little higher at $10 to $13.50, stockers steady to 35 cents lower at $6.5O to SIP, with most of the range yearlings and twos sell ing at $9 to $10.50.
 Hogs
 Receipts last week were 1O4OOO head as compared with 5SOOO same week last year, yet prices closed the week 10 to 15 higher. The liberal supply today opened steady to 10 higher, best ,medium-weights up to $17.S0, heavy hogs $17.75, lights at S17.65,, but the close was very weak and bulk of sales ranged from $17.2O to $17.65. Stock pigs sell at $12.5O to S14, which is a very attractive price when compared with values of fat hogs. New ruling by Food Ad- authorities last week made in an effort to reduce the move ment of market put all hogs weigh ing under 150 pounds outside of price limit regulations forcing them to sell without the protection of the price limit; also. all hogs destined for Chi cago or eastern markets must secure permit before they can be loaded. The western markets had good runs today but Chicago was light.
 Sheep and Lambs
 Prices have declined 50 cents since the middle of last week, best lambs worth $15.25, though the top today was $15. Fat ewes brought $9 to- lay, but salesmen say they can be good enough to bring $9.5O. Nine ,ars of 65 pound Arizona heavy hided feeding lambs sold at $14 today, eve ambs selling up to $16.

LIBERTY BELL"
 TO TOUR ARIZONA

Just as soon as the flu epidemic has run it's course it is the intention of the Chairman of the Maricopa county War Savings Stamps organization to start novel campaign for selling stamps.
 He is planning to send the local Maricopa "Liberty Bell" on tour of the state in an effort to rouse more in terest in the Stamp campaign.
 After the bell has been returned to Phoenix it will be mounted in the court house and at the bottom will be a bronz tablet with inscriptions of the names of the towns that the bell vis- ited and the amounts of stamps sold during it's stay in each town.
 The bell will probably be in King man sometime the latter part of Jan. or possibly before.

ALI FEDERAL RAILROAD
 EMPLOYEES TO BE PAID
 SEM-|MONTHLY HEREAFTER

All Federal railroad employees are to be paid semi-monthly beginning with the first of the year. Hereto fore many have been receiving their checks at the end of every month. Re gional Director Hale Holden has di- rected that the new system be put in to effect on the date mentioned.
 Director General McAdoo has indi- cated in letter to Regional Directors that the policy of the United States Railroad Administration will be to, as far as practicable, give preference in unemployment or reinstatement to sol diers and sailors when mustered out of the service. In cases where employees have established seniority rights and are physically qualified, the seniority rights will be restored, and in the ab sence of such rights a consistent effort will be made to provide employment.
 The United States Railroad Admini- stration is cooperating with the Food Administration and the Council of National Defense in campaign to re- duce the amount of livestock killed by trains. On one railroad last year the value of claims paid for livestock kill ed was $6O0,000.
 Owners of livestock which are pas tured along the right of way of rail roads are being urged to repair broken fences and keep the stock from wan dering on to the railroad tracks. A big saving in food and leather supply is

A NEW AND POWERFUL EXPLOSIVE

For many years mercury illuminate has held it's place as a denonating substance superior to all others. Of recent years however, its place has been threatened by other compounds which bid fair to displace it. One of the most promising of these is lead azide, salt of hydronitric acid. This acid forms great number of salts, as mercury azide, silver azide and sodium azide. Large crystals of lead azide and mercury azide have been found to be very sensitive to mechanical shock says the Scientific American, the sen- sitiveness increasing with the size of the crystals. Even the breaking of a single large crystal is said to bring about explosion. Crystals as large as 2 nm. in length, when dry, often ex- plode when brushed with feather.

 This law covering the leasing of state lands, the state officers, as well as many of the people desiring wid- CT latitude in the matter of leasing state lands. Under the present law only one section may be leased to each individual, although thousands of acres are really held in various ways by the leasers. The lands might just as well be bringing revenue to the state as to be lying idle under the present laws. No effort was made by the people interested because of the fact that should they have done so there would be a big howl set up by the men who have no interest in the matter, but who howl about every thing in particular.
 The Compensation law is another good measure that was defeated be- cause it was made to appear that the companies were to be benefit ed. Even state officer getting into the game with the blatant socialists against the measure, believing that it would be good campaign stuff. Now the men employed in hazardous occup- ations have practically no protection in the way of insurance, except by way of suits at law, in which they have lit ,le, chance for recovery of damage in case they sustain injury. It is really 100 bad that voters, and those vitally can be lead around by such people as those who opposed the rat fication of amendment 100.
