ACT QUICKLY.

Do the right thing at the right time.
 Act quickly in time of danger.
 In time of kidney danger, Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective.
 Plenty of evidence of their worth in this vicinity.
 J. N. Dunn, retired stock dealer, Tinkerville St., Box No. 1136, Miami, Ariz., says: "When a man gets to be my age, he is bound to have some trouble with his kidneys. Some time ago my back was weak and my kid neys acted irregularly. I had to get up at night on account of my kidneys and they sure did cause annoyance. Mornings felt tired out and languid. As I had used Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago with good results, tried them again. They soon cured me and fixed me up in A-No. i shape"
 Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same, that Mir. Dunn had. Foster Milburn Co.,, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

SUGAR SHORTAGE SERIOUS.

The situation respecting sugar is very serious and the Food Adminis- tration is desirous of supplying suffi- cient quantities for canning and pre- serving. The gradual tendency to eliminate the less essential industries will undoubtedly be cumulative as the war progresses, and must result in these industries facing an entire change in their business. The burden of this falls on the confectionery and soft drink industries because of the lack of tonnage to transport raw sugar from abroad.

GOVERNMENT TO ASSIST
 STATE TO GROW PURE WHEAT

The U. s. government, realizing that the greatest precautions must be taken in order to produce the best wheat in this time of war, in order to furnish the Allies and also the peo- pie at home with this product, is working through the State University to perfect the wheat product in Ari- zona.
 The object of this new Bureau which has just been established at the U. of A. is Bureau of informa- tion for the farmer who can ask any question he wants to about his wheat crop, yield, quality and so on. It is also a Bureau of information for the buying and selling of this product. Those who wish to buy certain kind and grade of wheat, may write to the University, this Bureau, and learn just who has this special kind and grade. Those who wish to sell wheat may make it known to this Bureau, and it will in turn try to find a pur- chaser.
 The cause and necessity for such Bureau was brought about by the fact that while Arizona in the main has a good grade of wheat, many of the farmers are willing to try a new variety which is brought in from the other states, and in nine cases out of ten, this imported wheat is inferior to the wheat in the state.
 For this reason, the Bureau has ap- pointed wheat expert to visit the farmers who raise this crop in this state, and find out the kinds and grades and send samples to the Uni versity. The work of this expert will also include the gathering of data as to the ground conditions, the cultiva- tion and the irrigation of the wheat.

Urge Public to Eat More Perishable

Urge Public to Eat More Perishables.
 Handlers of food are urged to push the sale of all perishables and to sug- gest to the consumer that every pound of such products used means a pound of the more staple commodi- ties to be released for the food ships. At this season of the year there is a large amount of fresh garden truck and fruit coming into the market and this should be consumed in preference to canned goods, and other commodi- ties which can be shipped. The con- sumption of potatoes should be in- creased in order that the exception ally heavy potato crop of Arizona this year may be disposed of within the state.
 Permits Necessary for Outside Flour.
 All dealers must refrain from re- ceiving shipments of flour from with out the state, without first obtaining written permission from the federal food administrator, address Flagstaff. Sugar Sales to Hotels and Boarding
 Houses.
 I~ Hotels, restaurants and boarding houses are now allowed to buy sugar in quantities sufficient for their pres ent requirements. The amount of pur- chases at time should not exceed thirty days supplies and must be based on the ration of three pounds per person per month.

A PICKLED PILGRIM AND
 PROSPEROUS GOVERNOR

This thing of seeking out an I. w. w. for the purpose of having his pho- tograph taken seems to have grown on Hunt, for it appears that on his return to Globe he did the same thing. AS this came to light in Cali fornia, we will let California paper of September 27, 1917, tell the story. Under the caption "A Picked Pilgrim and prosperous Governor" the paper said:
 "In a border California railroad town, in a lot otherwise vacant, was found the recumbent form of one James ODay. Asleep, James afforded a grand example of things that are not as they seem. The constable who haled him away to the calaboose de- clared him 'beastly drunk and to be 'as dirty and disreputable bum as we have had to handle in quite while But the constable was nasty in his judgment. Surrounding the muck of the gutter, possibly mixed with the reek of the booze,s was an aura of greatness that the rude off cer failed to appreciate, if he saw it it all.
 "When the somnolent individual, SO enormously listed as drunken bum, was 'frisked' by the officer, as was the latter's duty, upon the prisoner was found evidence that he had mixed with the mighty and that, of right, he should be ranked as one of the true defenders of the common people. In evidence he bore little red card that showed him a member of the Miami (Ariz.) section of the 1. w. w. But still more firmly establishing his po- sition as one of the Western leaders of modern liberal thought there was letter from ex-Gov. George w. P. Hunt inclosing the negative of pho- tograph in which Hunt and the mis- understood and alcoholic tourist stood in affectionate comradeship.
 The letter itself is a gem, worthy of rank with Ring Lardner master piece, of diction rare and of high phil osophy; in tone familiar, yet digni- fled, evidencing knowledge of poesy and showing some of the arts of the orator. It is felt that it should be seen in the light of day, just as it came to 0'Day. Verbatim and ad lit it follows, however strange it be to an editorial column:
 GLOBE (Ariz.) Aug. 5. 1917.
 My Dear Friend:
 Not knowing how long I shall remain or whether l will get the opportunity of seeing you soon.
 I want to express my appreci- ation in meeting you,
 am enclosing you two kodaks pictures and the negative, so that
 if you care you can have more printed at any time. 1 sometimes tremble for the future of my country, when such outrages as were perpetuated as was pulled of in Bisbee on the 18th of July. Reason and justice seems to have temporarily left her throne, but this morning the lines of Tennyson came to me and when he says:
 "When the common sense of most
 will hold fretful realm in awe. And the kindly earth will slumber
 wrapted in universal law"
 The onward sweep of democ- racy, for it is raging the world over, will sweep away the tangled webs that now beset us and the new day the Brotherhood of man will arrive and we will live in the sunshine of hope and the dark clouds that now beset us will only be disagreeable dream.
 Faithfully yours,
 GEO. w. P. HUNT.
