YOUR UNCLE SAM IS
 CALLING FOR THE RENT

You put by money to pay your life insurance, your taxes. and if you pay rent you allow for that also in your personal budget.
 Why?
 Well" you say, Look what would happen if l dld not. My wife and children would suffer if l did not pay my insurance, my taxes l must pay or the sheriff would seize my goods ; as for the rent I need a good comfortable place to live in, and l would not have one if I refus- ed to pay my landlord"
 Subscriptions to Government Loans represent rent charged you for the privilege-and it is a privilege-of living in the Unted States; they represent life, accident and business in- surance, and they keep not the sheriff but the Germans from seiziDg your property. Did you ever look at the mat ter in this way before?
 Now, when your rent is due you do not sit down ard wonder where you are going to find the money-it has been put aside. Your insurance premiums are not scraped up on the spur of the mOment-you have allowed for this expense.
 The Liberty Loan is a stand ing item of expense, or rather investment. It is a saving which you must effect, a stand ing charge on your income. and can be met only by consistent, persistent, saving.
 Whenever the question of personal expense comes up, re- member your duties to the Gov ernment and yourself-remem- Der the Liberty Loan.

PHOENIX. Aug 2s. - Something that appears much better known afar than in Arizona is a proposition that governor Geo. ". P. Hunt be made governor of Porto Rico after the ex- piration Of his present term of office. It is said that petitions urging such appointment have been circulated in labor circles in the east and that they have obtined thousands of sigma lures as a tribute 10 governor who has stood unswervingly for the union man
 There has been a general under standing that the governor has his eye on the next opening in Arizona for the United States senate and that his retirement from the executive chair has been with an eye toward bettering his chances in that direc. ticn. in the event of a vacancy. tn. less one Of the senators resigns or dies. this Will not be an immediate contingency. for Smiths term dates from 1915 and Ashurst's from 1917.

LIGHT WEIGHT CATTLE
 MOVING TO MARKET

wv " "N'sFN -
 FLAGSTAFF. Aug. 2S-Housewives who have been accustomed to pur- chase beef from heavier weight car. casses should now be able to buy at much lower prices than the average which has ruled during the past year if they observe the food administra, ;ions request to demand meat from cattle which dress below 475 pounds per head.
 The food administration declared today that the lightweight cattle are now moving rapidly to market. the producers in certain parts of New Mexico and Texas endeavoring to dispose of them before they suffer further from the effects of long con ,inued drought.
 Heavy steers are being sold in eastern meat centers for S26 to $27 per hundred; good steers. somewhat lighter in weight at s2t to s25; me dium weight steers at s19 to s2l and ligh, weight steers at s14 to SIS.
 While prices are not uniform in all parts Of the country. it will be found that this ratio will rule practically every market. Meat markets which normally cut s2s beef can obviously give their patrons the benefit of such wide difference in first cost. Sell ing light weights bought at sli 10 SIS. there should be a material re duction below the selling price Of meat bought a, s25
 The food administration believes that its request for consumption of the light cattle will not only do much 10 relieve the producers who are af fected by severe thoughts. but should be followed by general downward trend in retail purchasing prices the demand turning to the cattle which are now in abundance and re ieyine e,ne strain on the market for heavier beef which is still badly needed for the military forces and for export 10 the civil populations of the Allied countries. The market should naturally follow in its price reductions the difference in first cost provided 8 reasonable low price to those who utilize the lightweight cat tle They are wholesome. Of good quality, and before being marketed have passed government inspection by the MeXicans. a barley followed bu. the sniping continued until after : o'clock. Bullets fell in Nogales and civilians were ordered to remain in doors and without the zone of fight, ing. Adobe houses. because their walls cannot be pierced by high pow er bullets were especially popular and many families spent the night in ,Eese buiidincs with friends

GET INTO DEBT
It is the Finest Thing in the World. Provided You Do it in a Good Cause-Such as the
 Liberty Loan.

Then you will plan and con- trive to get out of dett. So you will do good to your Coun- try and yourself.
 The bank account of a far mer frequently is tow. Espec- ialiy is this true at the present time. when he can invest 50 proftably in increased acreage and production. It might appear at first sight that this fact affords a reason for non-support of the Liberty Loan.
 It does nothing of the sort. This War Cannot Be Waged on
 the Nations Past Savings
 Or even on its income. but only by mortgaging its future productiveness.
 To pay for the war out of our past savings would mean crip- bling industry. for we need plenty of capital to work with and produce goods necessary to the war. To pay for the war out of our current savings would be impossible. Previous to the period of the war We saveG as a nation Iii one year about sufficient to keep this war going for four or five months.
 By raising loans to be paid off m the future the Govern ment is raising a great nation- al mortgage on the resources of the nation for years to come.
 The farmer-everyone in fact must adopt the same course and mortgage their future earnings.
 Let Us suppose that in order to do your share for the Liber- ty Loan you find it necessary to mortgage your house, your farm or your automosi ile. To it Some men are giving their lives.
 The U. s. Government, fol- lowing the advice Neither a lender nor a borrower be-" would have to offer it's submis- sion to Germany at once. There Is No Disgrace in Being
 in Debt Today
 The reverse is the case, the man who refuses to mortgage his future earnings is placing his immediate comfort and peace of mind above his clearly de- fined duty to himself and to his fellows.
 Buy heavily of Liberty Bonds, and force yourself to pay for them out of your fu- ture earnings. Place yourself up against these conditions until it hurts. You will gain, mentally, morally and financial ly.

Mexican Casualty Estimates

While the casualties on the NeXi- can side of the border were not known tonight. it was estimated tha. 1C0 had been killed by fire from the American side while q: least twice this number including a number of civilians. were wounded. It was re- ported tonight that the mayor of No gales. Sonora. was killed. but this was not confirmed.
 The fighting followed alleged ef- forts of a Mexican custom officer to snugsie fellow countryman across the boundary into the United States. An Americn sentry attempted to stop him. The two Mexicans fired at the sentry across the street. striking him in the right arm. The fire was re- turned by the American patrols and after Mexicans had rushed from near ly buildings and started shooting across the line from behind buildings aaG walls. the firing became general.
 Endorsements from an infantry regiment and colored cavalry were rushed to the border and took up combat positions. Ii was estimated several hundred American soldiers and at lest fifty civilians participated n the shooting. It was reported to- night that a detachment of the tenth cavalry crossed the border in pursuit of the Mexicans. but this was not con frmea The fighting which started a; 5:o5 D. m. continued without abate- emnt until 5:30 when it died down ex- cept for an occasional sniping sho; along the long International street.
 At 5:3e white flag was displayed
