ARIZONA INDIANS ON WAR. PATH

Arizona Indiaps, for a ascore of
years quiet and peaceful, again
have taken up warfare but it is
for the enforcement of world
peace and not for rapine. They
have enlisted in large numbers
in the Army and Navy and are
making good and sturdy soldiers
and sailors. Many stalwart lads
from the Phoenix Indian Indus
trial School now are afloat. find
ing the life very attractive, ac-
cording to their letters home. A
number of them have secured
added grade and pay through de-
tail to trades they learned at
the school. Possibly it may seem
strange to see an Apache in a

ly shows that he has become an

SUBDIvIDING THE WORK

The State Council of Defense
appreciates that a few men in
each community should not be
depended upon for all the pa
triotic work that will have to be
done. This is especially true in
the important work of the pro-
duction committees. The Com
munity Farm Bureaus can be
depended upon for production
work wherever such bureaus are
in existence. But it is urged
that agriculture is not all there
is to production. In mining COM
munities it is entirely proper
that subcommittee on mining
be- created. In other localities
there will be found effective
work for committees on forest
products or livestock, or even on
cattle and sheep, separately con-
sidered.
Graham guardian., 1918-05-03
ADDING TO THE FOOD SUPPLY

An important work taken up
by the Maricopa County Council
of Defense is the planting this
summer to milo maize of every
possible acre, including about
a, 600 acres of land that is new
or without winter crop. 1t is
appreciated that the wheat crop
of Arizona will not be sufficient to
even feed the population of the
State. Milo will fill in the gap
very nicely, maturing in the fall,
though some of the acreage may
be planted at once, maturing that
much earlier. Where water for
irrigation is available, it is urged
that milo be planted on every
available plot, for hay and feed
will be short next winter, while
milo flour has been demonstrated
to be excellent.
Graham guardian., 1918-05-03

dreds Of thousands and millions
of Americans pursue this course,
it means millions and millions of
dollars loaned the government,
tremendous quantities of mater
ials left for uses of the nation il
this war, millions of hours of
labor free to do war work, and a
vast amount of freight space
free for national uses.
These sacrifices are easy to
make; are small and trivial COM
pared to the sacrifices that our
soldiers and sailors make daily
while they offer constantly their
lives for their country, the great
est sacrifice of all. Buy War
Savings Stamps!

EVERY AMERICANS DUTY

To work, economize and lend
money to the government is the
duty of every American.
Hundreds of thousands of our
men have been called to arms
and taken away from the pro-
ductive forces of the country.
Hundreds of thousands of
others have been diverted from
producing things used in peace
to producing things used in war.
In the face of this lessened
productive force and production
a great and unusual drain upon
our resources is made by our
Army and Navy and our allies.
Work and speed-up production
to make for the lessened produc-
ton; economic in consumption to
lessen as much as possible the
drain upon our resources; lend
your money to your government
to prosecute this war success
fully.
