THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN

The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan
begins September % and closes October 10.
While the amount has not been announced, it
is generally conceded it will be for a larger
amount than any of the preceding loans. The
American people, therefore, are called upon to
raise a larger sum of money in a shorter length
of time than ever before There is need, there
fore, for prompt action-prompt and efficient
work and prompt and liberal subscriptions.
We have a/great inspiration for great effort.
The news from the battle front inspires every
American heart, not only with pride and patriot
ism but with great incentive to do his her
part. There is Sinking, no shifting of the in
dividual burden, no selfshness by American sol
diers In France; there should be none here
We are both supporting the same country and
the same cause-our Army in one way, ourselves
m another Theirs is the harder part but at
least we can do part as promptly and Loyalty

TEMPERANCE NOTES
BOOMERANG ARGUMENTS.
(By the National woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union)


Replying in public debate to the
liquor mans argument for compensa-
ton, DR.. Clarence True Wilson said:
Suppose we grant that they ltne
United States and the liquor seller)
are partners. Suppose two thieves are
In business to rob. One of them hits
the trail and gives up robbery and
crime. Would you say the other thief
has case for damages for injury to
his business by the conversion OF his
partner?
"When we stopped piracy on the
high seas. did we compensate the
pirate? When we stopped lotteries, did
we compensate those who conducted
them? Have we compensated dealers
in dope whose business was destroyed
by the Harrison act?''
Another point made much OF by Doc
tor Wilson's opponent was that the
first year after prohibition went into
effect in West Virginia, the governor
of the state had to appeal to the legfs-
lature for additional tax measures to
| make up for the loss in revenue from
liquor. "And in the second year" Doc
tor Wilson replied, "West Virginia
swept her state debt off the map. To
day she stands among the leading
states of the Union in the amount or
| surplus in her treasury"

THE TREND OF RETAIL FOOD PRICES.

Statistics issued by the United States depart
ment of Labor indicate that comparison OF
prices between May Is, 1918 and May Is, 1917.
shows that food as whole increased per cent
Seven of the 25 articles recorded showed de-
cline in the retail price Potatoes declined Ga
per cent onions, 35 per cent flour, "a per cent;
cheese, per cent, and coffee, less than per cent
Ten articles show increase of 20 per cent
or more. Plate boiling beef increased 80 per
cent; corn meal, 80 per cent; hens, 20 per cent;
1-ltik, 26 per cent; and pork chops, 20 per cent.
"A comparison for the five-year period shows
that food was SO per cent higher in May, 1913
than in the same month of 1913. Every article
increased SO per cent or The least increase,
OF SO PEI cent, was shown in potatoes. Three
articles show an increase of 100 per cent or
more"
Obviously the trend of prices within the last
year has been an upward one, but the percentage
of increase is very small when one bears in mind
the continual, ever-ncreasing shortage of labor.
and the huge amount of exports made by the
United States
The department of labor cites in it's COMPARE
of retail prices 25 articles of foodstufs which
are most commonly used.
Ten of these articles show an advancement in
price over year ago-chief of these being meat
and milk. The reason for this, no doubt, is the
scarcity of grains and feeds, which, however, are
cow decreasing in price, with the exception of
corn meal. Eight of the 25 articles have been
running practically even in price, while have
decreased. Among the latter are potatoes and
flour, which have fallen off wide margin, Ga
per cent and "a per cent, respectively. These
two articles among the most widely used
staple foods. Onions cheese, coffee, and sugar
have also declined in price, sugar at decrease of
10 per cent. The food administration has been
largely responsible for the decrease.
1t must be remembered that the essential
thing about wartime prices is not to make
them as low possible, but so to regulate them
that production shall be stimulated and encou-
ragged, while staple commodities remain witl.il
the reach of all.

DRAMATIC JUSTICE

In commenting on the war situation henry
Clews says
Inspiring news comes from the front. Der
Tag is surely coming to Germany, but in ways
the reverse of what were expected. The enemy
is not only unable to Withstand the Allied on
slaught but is seemingly breaking down within
Internal dissatisfaction and disappointment
are rapidly rising among the German people,
who are gradually awakening to the fact that
they have been cruelty deceived by their own
rulers and that they have made lasting enemies
of the entire civilized world. They are not only
awakening in this respect, but are realizing the
terrible consequences of the worldwide ostracism
and economic boycott which they have brought
down upon themselves. Germanys fall is self
inflicted and there is dramatic justice in the fact,
that the policies which she aimed to impose upon
others are likely to fall upon the German people
themselves with crushing force. AS despair
grows in Germany, hope strengthens daily with
the Allies, and confidence in victory was never
more vivid nor better founded. Overconfidence
may be dangerous, but peace on Allied terms is
practically assured and cannot be far distant. If
Germany's armies collapse under Foch's strategy
as now seems imminent, the end may come SOON
er than expected"

MORE WET THAN IN DRY.

The liquor interests would have the
public believe that prohibition In
creases the number Of illicit SPILLS.
What does the internal revenue office
say about it? The figures for the year
ending June 80, 1916, show that the
number of moonshine plants seized was
1926, or $40 fewer than in the year
1915-in spite of the fact that dry ter
ditory has been steadily increasing.
Not a, single Illicit still was reported
for seizure in the prohibition states
OF Arizona, North Dakota, Oregon. or
Washington. There were only six In
Mississippi, four in Arkansas, and six
In West Virginia. More gallons of Illicit
whisky were seized in any one OF the
wet states of Illinois, Kentucky, Mas
sachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania
than in any prohibition state.

WIRE FUR CHANGE IN COTTON SEED PRICE

George H. Smalley, secretary of the food administration for Arizona, has conferred with the committee repre- senting the cotton growers, the cattle feeders, and the oil mill men, and es a result sent wire to Washington last night asking a modification of the price to be paid for cotton seed from that originally set for this section.
 The price agreed upon was the price recommended by the committee, S66 per ton for l. c. l. lots, but with this important proviso: that the mill men agree that in case they are able to sell the oil at the price quoted by the gov ernment, or the hulls at the price orig inally set, or both, they will then pay to the growers, pro rata, the difference between their income from such ad vanced prices on these commodities over and above the prices they antici- pate receiving, and upon which they asked for reduction.
 In this way, if the government con. tention is correct as to the prices they can secure, the growers will get the governments original price, which vii mean an additional s100,000 to tho growers, but if the mill men are no able to get these prices, they will sus. ! tain no loss.

OCTOBER QUOTA FUR
 SUGAR 810,0OO LBS

Arizona has been allotted SIG GOO pounds of sugar for the month of Oc- tober, it was announced yesterday. This is an increase of 31O0O pounds over the September allowance. The increase, according to George H.

BEGS FUR SUGAR ID
 SEND ID PARENTS

Acute sugar conditions were brought sharply to the attention of the county food administration yesterday when Angie Fagio, an Italian girl made a pathetic appeal to Executive Secretary George H. Smalley of the State Food Administration to be permitted to purchase 10 pounds of sugar to ship to her father and mother in Genoa, Italy. She produced a letter from her folks, in which it was stated that the people of Genoa had been without sugar for so long a time that they had forgotten how it tasted. They begged their daughter to send them enough to enable them to use just a little bit of it.
 Miss Fagio's appeal was granted by Secretary Smalley who issued a war trade lciense to her. With this in hand, and proper application made to headquarters in Nogales, the sugar will be forwarded from this country. "On my way from Flagstaff to Phoe- nix" said MT. Smalley, T met and talked with a captain, just returning to this country on short furlough. I was surprised when he told me that ! his own company, in France, had been without sugar for six weeks
