Your Mental Attic.

We are living in new age. We use
the materials grown In the past for
the erection of present structures, OBJ
serves a writer. But the method of
building changes with the age. In
stead of the old lumber, men use iron
and steel. Instead of crumbling bricks
and uncertain firing, they use cement
and stone. To build for the future
you must use the best that science up
proves. You will need your attic for
new tools and new storage. And to be
modern the storage must be temper
airy. Long holdings are Improbable.
The oftener you can turn your posses
mental attic follows the same rule.

Moon Superstition,

Among the Hindus and Egyptians
the mouse was carried to the moon.

god brushes under his foot the mouse
Of the night. When the cats away the
mice will play. The shadows of night
dance when the moon is absent"

The engine will be overhausi and repaired at the shops and placed in service within a short time.
 Up to yesterday only about twenty women had registered at the headqusr ters which are at the Red Cross work rooms in the Scott building.

 hTe lecture and moving pictures at the Prescott Hardware last night. given under the auspices of the Busi- ness Mems committee of Prescott and conducted by the National Cash Reg ister company of Dayton, Ohio, was enjoyed by good sized audience. G. W. Sullenberger, the man behind the lecture, talked on the subject: "Trou- bles of the Merchant and How to Stop Them" which was illustrated with moving picture slides and a four reel moving picture entitled, "Mr. White, the Corner Groceryman," and MT. White certainly had trouble manu- featuring plant, until he was induced to install N. c. R., which brought joy to the home and profits to store and contentment to Mr. White. Mir. Sullenburger's pointers on advertis- ing, one form of which was the news paper, would be worth dollars and cents to many Prescott merchants who honestly do not believe in running an ad regularly. As Mir. Sullenburger said, more men have gone bankrupt not spending enough money advertis- ing, than spending too much"

THE NEXT LIBERTY LOAN.

ADVANCE notices of the governments financial pro-
- gram call for six billion dollar Liberty loan in
October Less than five billions subscribed for the
last loan considerable subscription of course but
IN subscription will be expected for this evil
dence Of high morale and indomtsble purpose The next
loan like those Of the past will be good investment and
the amount although larger is we'll within the range OF
our financial possibilities II all will help We cannot
afford not to subscribe nor to withhold anything needed
to win this war Only by definite and decisive victory
can the world be made safe and cherished institutions
preserved and protected
This advance information OF the governments plans Is
wisely made public now and II properly considered will
make the raising Of the loan less difficult Somewhere
recently read OF persons who had pledged themselves
begin saving for the loan. Such forehanded pa
triotism should be emulatsd this time by all who
possibly salt away portion Of the old pay envelope
with which to help when help is needed People
saving who saved before; econohizins to meet
payments past loan subscriptions and to make steady
purchases of thrift stamps Most of them can arrange
their affairs to little more and all who should
do so way and for many the only way of helping
the country in this struggle This is two-handed war
and before Is most of must do best The
earlier throw that full strength into the conflict the
sooner and less expensive Il will be.
Therefore let everyone give the loan consideration
now BY saving in advance where possible one will be
able increase his subscription and be to that extent
stronger citizen Of the country Life would be worth less
without the essentials but there be reduction
not elimination in that direction To begin earlier will
make the effort easier by making it gradual Assuming
that you saving something for your country begin
plan to something more and in that way help
the country. This is preparedness in which all can
help.
