WHAT WE FIGHT FOR

The high aims of America and her allies gre well expressed in President
 Wilson's greetings to France on Bas- tile day:
 "As France celebrated our Fourth of July, sU do we celebrate her Four teenth, keenly conscious of a comrade- ship of arms and of purpose of which we are deeply proud. The sea seems very narrow today, France is so close neighbor to our hearts. The war is being fought to save ourselves from intolerable things, but it is also being fought to save mankind. We extend our hands to each other, to the great peoples with whom we are associated; and to the peoples everywhere who love right ard prize justice as thing beyond price, and consecrate ourselves once more to the noble enterprise of peace and justice, realizing the great that have lifted France and America high among the free peo- ples of the world. The French flag flies today from the staff of the White House, and America is happy to do honor to that flag"

OSBORN DEFINES POLICY;
 BE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Tie old idea that public office is a chattel to be handled hither and yon with each election is rapidly giving way to the more sane application of the elementary rules of ordinary bus mess, when declare that a man who knows h;s trade and can secure the best results ia the man to retain.
 The business of running the state of Arizona is a big job. It requires knowledge Of conditions and people, keen business insight, and ability of high order. The business manager (governorj cf a state, must be a close buyer and clever salesman. He must see to it ;hat his boss (the people, are fully protected. If he attends to the business of the job he will have little time to waste on building political fences and developing personal grudges.
 According to the propaganda being issued by Sidney P. Osborn, who wants to be governor of Arizona, one of the chief reasons why he should be nominated at tire September primaries is because he "has been associated with the conduct of the state of Ari- zona ever since it has been a state anC before. He was 2 member of the con- stitutional convention which framed the magma cha1ta under which we are now living. He was born and reared in the state. He knows it and he knows its needs and it's people. He has been secretary of state, and act ing governor. He has shown himself a capable oNeGuuvc, and has specializ- ed in the very things most needed to give the people of the state busi- ness administration.
 "Why experiment ?" he asks. "Why take on m hurried skipper when there is a seasoned pilot at hand ?"
 This, Of course, is political argu- r!ent, and is intended to influence vO- ters.
 Put" osboln concludes his appeal, 'isn't it the truth? ?'

RATIFICATION OF CONVENTION
 BETWEEN U. $. AND BRITAIN

The Recruiting Convention between Great Britain and the United States becomes effective July 31, and termi- mates on September 28. During this 6J-day period all Britons and Cana dians between the ages of 20 to A, in clusIvc, 2rc privileged to offer their services to their own country at time when every man is urgently need ed. -
 Arrangements have been effected whereby, during these sixty days, all British subjects named will be exempt from the American draft and can en- list at any recruiting depot of the British and Canadian Recruiting Mis- son. if you arc a Briton or Canadian subject, this holds true even if you have been placed in class one by your local draft board, or even if you have taken out first citizenship papers in the United States.
 BefcTe this period elapses all Brit ons and Canadians of 20 years of age and these between the ages of 31 and A, both inclusive, will be required to register on a date fixed by proclama- ticn by the president and thirty day after registration men of these age will be liable to the American draft
 It is hoped that, during this spe cial volunteer enlistment period, many men will grasp the opportunity to en liss in the army of their own country so they may fight shoulder to shoulder with their own countrymen.
 Information as to rates of pay, sep alatiOn allowance, etc, may be had upon application to the British and Canadian Recruiting Depot, 26S Mar kct Slccc, San Francisco.

ONE WAY TO STOP U-BoATs.
((By Guy Hubbart)


 Ehis little lady was a blonde and weighed only 105 pounds, and clerked in a department store for SIP a week. She had never been to Chicago, vet she sank German U-boat. Is that fighting? You bet it is.
 Her name is Lilly Frill. She seIla laces in a small city department stor less than 300 miles from Chicago. S,le had never Leer to Chicago. It took too much money. Her beau. one of the boys in the store, marched away to wa. Lily wcpt for a day or two, of course. She missed her beau. Any girl would weep.
 But Lilly didn't weep long. She laid aside tears and began to fight. She fought right there in her little home town. She began to sell War Savings Stamps along with laces and neckwear and things. She had read that one depth bomb would shatter the biggest U-boat afioat, and she knew the U- boats were lurking for the transport that carried her beau overseas. She NN---N~A HN@AANolAC AAON llAuCll lL LOOK 70 manufacture C depth bomb and when she found out she took the amount as her share of the fighting and started out to sell War Savings Stamps up to that amount at least.
 "Money'n stop those pirates" Lilly said to herself, land I'm going to stop one. l am going to sell a Thrift Stamp or War Savings Stamp to every GUS toner who comes my way"
 Lilly Frill did it. She's doing it yet, a little girl, blonde and slender and not so very pretty. Think it over a moment, Mr. Merchant! How many Lilly Friils lave you got in your store. Help them 10 sell stamps to get money to crush tbe German army and the German | boats. We'll win if you dc { Remember what Lilly said: 'T'm q ing to stop one U-boat." She did with Thrift Stamps.

made of partly burnt and partly nat ural ostrich. The shape proclaims a street hat and it's trimming lifts it into the plane of semidress hats that are so highly useful. The small tuscan hat with it's sash of ribbon and facing of crepe supports a huge ostrich pom pOn that is splendid enough for any state occasion. We do not need the word of an expert to decide that this is a dress hat pure and simple. more accurately described as pure and con- pleX.

One must be thoroughly versed in the art of millinery to recognize all the gradatiOns in the several types of hats. It is getting a little difficult for the amateur to classify them, but the expert places each hat at a glance. This variation of the different types gives more room than ever for the eX- ercise of individual taste and dis criminatiOn, but in classifying the new hats we must take the experts word for it.
 With this explanation the statement that the large hat shown at the left of the picture above belongs among sport hats, may stand a chance of be- ing believed. This is a sport hat de luxe, that is, a dressy hat that reflects sports styles. It has made it's appear ance along with sport skirts of heavy, high-luster satins and sleeveless vel vet coats. A new name is needed for this particular kind of apparel in which women lend cOuntenance to sports. A very handsome French hat of this kind was made by covering a large shape of grass-green cocOanut braid with lowered chiffon in gay col ors and patterns that resemble ere tonne. The chiffon is stretched over the crown and upper brim smoothly. About the hat there are small clusters of green oats, little crabapples and set at the base of the crown.
 At the right of the picture a sailol shape with leghorn brim and tuscan crown is trimmed with a fancy feather

Shapes Are Novel.

The simpler the parasol, the smarter it is. Prevailing shapes are very nov el, few, indeed, following the lines of the Old-time umbrella. The handles are of medium length with wrist loops or rings, which make them easy to carry. An artistic affair is of rose figured taffeta effectively trimmed with ruffles of self material.

WIIiPPLE GETS APPROPRIATION

The big appropriation bill of con- gress carries with it an appropriation of S1 ,SOO,OOO for the remodeling, eX- tension and improvement of Whipple barracks. It is probable that old Fort Wnipple will be made a convalescent camp, and there are really few places that are more suitable than that al- titude for certain ailments, and no more pleasing surroundings than the pina-clau hills of old Yavapai.

Cur boys are giving their lives; we are only asked to lend our savings. If yet consider yourself 100 per cent American prove it. Carry your Thrift card and add stamp to it every time you can.

It is moi enough to deplore what the Germons have done. That will not hurt the Germans; they don't care what you think of them. Help your government to fight them. That is the only thing that counts with Ger man. When you save and buy War Savings Stamps you attack a German in the place where it hurts.
