PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.

Senators and representatives are receiving every day in their mail hun dreds of postal cards bearing the printed sentence, For Gods sake hurry up," with the sender's name signed beneath. A man who mails that message to his representative in congress is simply demonstrating his utter ignorance of our war history for the past year. To anybody claiming the slightest acquaintance with the proceedings of congress it has been perfectly apparent that ever since the declaration of war all of the huge sums of money asked by the military authorities have been voted with alac- rity. The delays, which are becom- ing more and more painfully evident to the public, cannot be laid at the door of congress. They should be charged to the responsible officials of the administration, who have spent months in quibbling over prices, in- dulging in personal quarrels with one another, and haggling over specifica- tions that have undergone needless and almost daily changes. All this while the money, appropriated by congress, waited in the treasury to be paid out for imperative war needs.

users who need those particular sizes at any time"
 Mir. Weston was very insistent in his statement that there is nothing in the present or probable future situa- tion to occasion the slightest appre- hension of shortage of tires for legitimate use.
 However, there never was time,' he said, "when users of motor cars could so well serve the nation as by making the most of their cars in legi- timate commercial and passenger service and refusing to hoard or un- necessarily anticipate their needs in tires or other motor car supplies"
 MT. Weston called attention to the fact that the government has not at the present time imposed any restric- tions on the use of motor cars by the automobilists of the country, but has relied on the patriotism of the car owners to exercise a proper discretion in the use of their vehicles, with a view to conserving their cars and tires. Mir. Weston is of the opinion that the motorists of the country can be trusted to cut down mere pleasure riding to a minimum and to take every possible step to save tires, oil and gasoline.

Third Liberty Loan
 By Celia Louise crittenton

Seriously considered, with insight and understanding, the Third Liberty Loan means but one thing-stability The unification of Government and people.
 The much or little which the peo- ple place at the hands of the Govern ment, proportionate to what they pos ssss, will have behind it not alone the voice of the people but as well the united will and force of the peo- ple against a war which threatens to engulf the whole national family.
 We are being just to ourselves If we place our money where it Is safe. And we are living up to the dictates of our national conscience, which also is our family conscience.
 The most safe and reasonable in. vestment possible is with our Govern. ment. For the Government is but ourselves viewed through the magni- flying glass.
 If we were born in the United States we love our birthplace It is home. If we were allowed to adopt the United States that offered to us more than our expressing birth-coun. try; offered to us more freedom, a wider scope, then through that adop. tion we have gained Privilege worthy of even greater devotion and love-
 So, let us all be glad that a Third Liberty Loan is pending. It is a good sign that we trust ourselves, that we are ready depositors in the Protectipe Bank of Home.
 "Keep the home fires burning is no light slogan, lightly spoken. Only when the fire is quenched by bomb dropped down through the home. chimney, can we fully realize how precious and prized is that cherished and cheerful flame.
 We must not and shall not wait for that.
 The Third Liberty Bond awaits us and we are ready.

TIRE MANUFACTURERS
 COOPERATE WITH U. s.

Asker regarding government re- strictions on the importation of rub Der, and the endeavor of tire manu- lecturers in cooperation with the gov ernment to restrict the manufacture of unnecessary tire sizes, J. c. Wes- ton, vice-president and director of sales of the United States Tire com pany said:
 "The intention of the government in the control and restriction of the importation of rubber is to conserve shipping space, and the program that has been laid before the manufactur- CTS of rubber goods has won their unanimous support for the war trade board and the shipping board.
 "In addition, the manufacturers of tires are heartily cooperating with the government program for the eventual elimination of unnecessary tire sizes. This elimination will simplify the problem for each user of the motor car of reducing his cost and making it possible for him to secure the tire size he needs, in good tires, more readily than the market and manufact- uring conditions now permit.
 "Plans for the withdrawal of cer- tain tire sizes from use by manu- lecturers of motor cars will not in any way interfere with the manufact- ure and distribution of the tires to

CERTIFICATES NOW
 REQUIRED FOR SUGAR
HOUSEWIVES ARE REQUIRED TO FILE CERTIFICATES
 WITH DEALER.
DRUGGISTS ARE AFFECTED
ICE CREAM MANUFACTURER GRANTED 100 PER CENT
 ALLOTMENT.

Rigid limitations on the sale of sugar to consumers have been placed on all dealers by the federal food ad- ministration for Arizona. Hereafter residents of cities and towns will not be permitted to buy more than five pounds of sugar at time, rural resi- dents will be restricted to ten pounds and those residing in exceptionally re- mote regions will be permitted 2s pounds, provided this does not ex- ceed their needs for thirty days.
 Forn canning purposes, however, the consumer may purchase an amount not to exceed 25 pounds at one pur- chase provided the following form of certificate is filled out and filed with the dealer:
 ..............., 1918.
 hereby declare to the United States Food Administration that l de- sire to purchase from (name of deal er) an amount of. ... pounds of sugar (not to exceed 25 pounds) for my use for preserving and canning purposes only. and that I shall re- turn any surplus not used for this pur- pose.
 SiBneo
 Address ...................
 The dealer is instructed to mail all such certificates at least onos . week to the federal food administrator Phoenix. Arix.
 Coincident with the limiting of the sale of sugar to the general public, the food administration announces plans for placing all manufacturer us ing sugar on . rationing basis after May IS.
 In Arizona this will affect partic- ularly manufacturers of soda water (pop). druggists and soda water dis pensers making their own syrups, as well as manufacturers of candy and confectionery.
 Before purchasing sugar manufac. turers will be required to present a certificate showing their allotment These certificates are to be issued by the county food administrators upon presentation of sworn statement showing the exact needs.
 Ice cream manufacturers will be al lowed their full requirements, but soda water and syrup manufacturers are to be limited to 30 per cent of their use of sugar last year. The ice cream trade is being favored to assist the dairy industry in disposing of the usual summer surplus of milk.

TO THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA

In offering myself as a candidate for the nomination on the Democratic ticket for Governor, of the State of Arizona, 1 wish to submit to the vot- CTS and citizens of this State the fol- lowing reasons why I am asking for your support to the highest office in the State, and my position on some of the vital and leading questions and pending legislation, which in my opin- ion should be worked out and finally adjusted to the mutual benefit of all concerned:
 First:--I pledge my support in any and every way to the President of the United States in the vigorous prosecu- tion of the great war in which we are involved to final and successful con- clusion
 Second:--I am in favor of and will lend my assistance to the development of all the great resources of our com monwealth for the benefit of the na- tion and the citizens of the State.
 Third:-I will encourage and pro- tect, as far as in my power to do SO, capital invested and used in the devel- opment of our State and it's resources.
 Labor disturbance in the great min ing centers of Arizona in the past four years indicate that some remedial legislation is necessary to prevent the continuance or recurrence of such con- ditions. Our country is in need of every pound of copper our mines can produce, and in order to secure the best results, capital and labor should put aside their differences, great or small and all work for the common good, to the end that our government be not deprived of the useful and nec- essary mineral commodities for the successful prosecution of the war. On the shoulders of the laboring men and women fall greater and more difficult burdens, all the necessaries of life have advanced in price and will con- tinue to advance, and to meet these conditions, employers of labor must realize the necessity of increasing wages in proportion to the increasing costs of living. Legislation regulat- ing the compensation of working men and women is difficult and delicate problem, but there is no reason why some fair and equitable basis may not be reached, whereby those who produce the wealth of the State will in greater measure share in its pro- fits. Strikes and labor troubles be- ing disastrous to the men who strike, as well as to the business interests of the State, deprive the government of the. copper products of our State, which is essential to the successful conduct of the war. With a view of adjusting these matters, so that capi- tai will be protected in its investment, and the laborer be given a just and equitable wage, in order that he may be able to meet his obligations, take care of his family, and thus remove the cause of discontent and put an end to strikes and labor troubles, prom ise the people of Arizona, if nominat- ed and elected Governor, that I will support proper and constructive la- bor legislation and the administration of same, to the end that our laboring class of people receive proper com pensation and consideration.
