The annual banquet OF the M. ID.
Stone Motor company for their en-
ployecs was held at the. Rueger this
week Several highly interesting
talks were made, especially those by
RI. A. Grant, sales manager; Jack
Fawcctt. advertising manager; w.
Kirk Matthews. attorney for the firm,
and q. c. Dnla, secretary and treas
urer of the firm.
Plans for the coming year were
talked over with the general feeling
that this would he one of the biggest
years In the history of the firm.
II. J. Raymond, manager of the
Cohurn Motor company. had an en-
joyable Christmas this year, coming
as 1t did on top OF solid week of
sales. the firms average being one
Studebaker day to the retail trade
for the six days previous to Christmas.
However. there is always something
to take the JOY out of life and that
was advice from the factory that the
carload of Studebakers now on the
road was the last OF his allotment
until the first of March, when the
new series will come out.
Concerning the new series. there
wiz be no difference in the design
and style .of the cars, and prices will
be unchanged. In connection with
prices. IL is interesting to note that
almost all the dealers along Automo-
bile Row are firm in their opinions
that steady prices will be maintained
This is further borne out by the cur

 Several candidates are scheduled to cross the forest tonight, and Sover eign Wilson has made arrangements to have them properly escorted.

sZ,o00,0O0 a day is the gratifying news rom Washington. These facts con- stltute substantial evidence that there are millions of intelligent American citizens who are loyalty combining say
 ing and thrift with their other patriotic duties.
 An appeal has been issued to the Zoo,000 workers enrolled in the various divisions of the War Savings organiza- tion 10 make an extra effort in the next few weeks to farther spread the gospel of thrift to the end that the fuIl financial strength of the nation nav be placed behind the military branch or the government. While every en- oeavor should be enlisted to carry on trade and commerce. 1t must be borne III mlnd that in war times unusual &C., ticns are demanded to meet the un- usual conditions. For instance, there must be no competition with the gov
 ernment for labor and materials. Agaln, It is absolutely necessary tnat every man with surplus should offer It to those who are financing the great conflict. Following this thought, each man, woman and child should en- deavor to produce surplus that may be invested. Its size is of no conse
 quence, because the government will
 take even twenty-five cent piece. Every person, without distinction, is in duty bound on this account to heed the appeal from Washington ito spread the gospel of thrift and savings so that there will be a militant army of savers to put War Savings certificates and the next Liberty loan over the top" Two billion dollars of the War Say- | ings securities will be issued by the secretary of the treasury. If these are | all sold this year the treasury will re- ceive about $1,6s0,000,000 and at the | end of five years (January l, 1923) the government will repay the loan to the
 holders of War Savings certificates together with $320,000,000 in interest
 The increasing stream of small say
 -ings coming into the treasury from the
 buyers of savings stams, while not
 commensurate with the great cost oi
 the war, is nevertheless very large as
 compared with pre-war standards ot
 national finance. These stamp savings
 are now running at rate double the
 total receipts of the postoffice depart ment and double the customs receipts before the war. The sales are in ex- cess of the total interest payments tt the holders of railroad bonds, in ex- cess of the average new capital ex- penditureS for railroad development
 and equal to the entire cost of running the government ten years ago.

If the loafer is rich, all the worse, let the working bees sting him out of the hive The Hindu mother not able to sustain her babe gives it to the Ganges, the sacred river of her tradition, believing it was carried to eternal rest. The Egyptian looked to Father Nile as the bringer of life and every good gift. The African savage by the Congo viewed the broad river and thought it embodied a symbol of never ending power and help. The South American Indian beheld the mighty Amazon as the greatest force in the universe. Yet all these mighty streams are lost in the common bosom of the unchanging oceans. The ocean embracing all, in serene purity knows no Ganges, no Nile no Congo, no Anna : zon. And so my friencs, all the worthy efforts of churches, be they Catholic Baptist, Presbyterian or what not of societies, lodges or political parties seeking the betterment of mankind are lost in the ultimate conception of true American citizenship; the government, or the people, for the people and by the | people,.

BURGLAR RANSACKS
 HOME IF MRS. SOULE

When Mrs. c. Soule, who occupies little house adjoining the Y. w. c. A. building, Second and Monroe streets, went out to spend the evening on Sat urday, she didn't suppose that anybody would note her absence, much less take advantage of the opportunity to enter her home and ransack her belongings. But that is exactly what some indi- Nidual did do, and as result of the unwelcome visitation Mrs. Soule is minus some valuable wearing apparel and various small articles.
 When a report of the burglary was made to the police upon the return of Mrs. Soule late Saturday evening, sev- eral officers visited the little home, but were unable to pick up anything that seemed like a clue. They were in formed that among other things miss ing was d dress, a bathrobe, some silk stockings, as we'll as several toilet articles. How the intruder gained ad- mittance to the house is not quite clear. No person could be found liv- ing in the vicinity who saw any per- son enter or leave Mrs. Soules home during Saturday evening.

 There will be parades in Yuma on Saturday. There will be booths in the hotels and about the business streets, The city officials, the county officials school teachers, ministers, business and professional men will be engaged in the work, and when night time comes there will be an evening program tha, will wheedle many two-bit piece from | it's hiding place.
