LIMIT $1,000.

The wealthy people of the country
would buy up every War Savings
Stamp issued if they were allowed to
/ do so.
That is because they realize now
splendid an investment War Savings
Stamps are.
The interest is attractive-and the
security is the best in the world.
But the United States has placed
the limit of any individuals holdings
in War Savings Stamps at $1,000,
maturity value
The reason for this is that the
War Savings Stamps are for all the
people
The first object of War Savings
Stamps is to raise money to purchase
supplies for our army and navy.
The second object is to create
thrift among all of the millions of
Americans-so they will stop pur-
chasing things which they can just
as we'll get along without This is
because nOn-essentials require men
and materials which can be used to
far better advantage in the manu-
facture OF war essentials, for backing
up our boys at the front and on the
seas
The government wants every man,
woman and child to save and buy
War Savings Stamps to the limit of
their ability, whether it is one thrift
stamp or 200 war savings stamps.

RICH GOLD STRIKE,

What is said to be the richest gold
strike ever made in northern Yuma
county was recently opened up about
8 miles from Quartzsite, near New
Water Springs. The discoverers are
Messrs. Brimly, Johnson and Hudson.
While there is only shallow shaft
sunk on the vein, it is said the ore is
extremely rich, one sack alone being
valued at $500. Joe johnson, one of
the owners, was In Parker the first
OF the week, and he admitted that
the new strike showed great possi-
bilities of developing into bonanza.
Considerable excitement prevails in
the Quartzsite section over the dis
covery.

WAR CAMPAIGN
OPENS MONDAY

On Monday opens the United War
Work Campaign. It is a national
campaign to run from November II
to 1S, inclusive. 1t is for the pur-
pose of raising at least $170,50O,-
900 to carry on the welfare work for
the soldiers and sailors for another
year
| These seven welfare agencies, all
| accredited by the war and navy de-
partments and heartily endorsed by
them and President Wilson, are the
Y NJ C. A., Y W. C. A., National
Catholic War Council, Jewish We'll
| fare Board, War Camp Community
Service, American Library Associa-
tion and Salvation Army. Any SOL
dier or sailor can and will gladly
tell what these seven welfare agen-
cies mean in his hard life.
The Arizona minimum quota in
this drive is $3O6,O00. 1t is hoped
to get at least SO per cent over
subscription both in Arizona and all
over the United States for the amount
originally asked is found much too
small to expand this great work as it
should be expanded. President Will
son has approved a total for these
seven agencies of quarter of
billion dollars
People may ask what is the need
of this work if peace is to come sOOnS
Overseas workers and national heads
| justly claim that the work will be
more badly needed if peace comes
than if war lasts. War keeps the
men interested Police work in
peace with every man longing to get
home breeds homesickness and the
blues. Then must the welfare work
ers exert every effort to sustain the
welfare and morale of the men by
giving them rational amusement,
books, spare time clubs and enter
tainments
Why will not the men come home
as soon as peace comes? In the first
| place it has taken many, many
months to take them overseas and
this great job was jointly done by
the ships of England and America,
English ships actually taking two
thirds of the men overseas. If they
started to take the men back tomOr-
row it would take as long to bring
them home as it did to take them
over, but when peace comes English
ships will have to go into commercial
! lines because England is short al
most everything which is needed in
peace times. Therefore, the work of
bringing the boys home will devolve
upon American shipping and will
take vastly longer than it did to get
| them over there.
| Why longer when America has so
many more ships? Longer because the
ships America has built are cargo
carriers. They are not adapted to
carrying troops. If used for that
purpose they could carry but a small
part of the numbers ships of equal
size built for passenger carrying
could haul.
I Just as soon as possible the French
and British armies must be demobil-
ized. Their men are needed at home
as this country will never know the
need of men. The pacification of
Russia, the enforcement of terms of
peace in the nations of the central
powers, these duties must largely be.

U. S. OFFICIALS
AT ROCK ISLAND
ARE SUSPENDED

Washington, March 8. - Assistant
United States Attorney John e.
Dougherty and Deputy United States
Marshal Williams whose territory in
cludes Rock Island, Ill, have been
suspended for thirty days for lack
| Of sympathy with the policy of the
department of justice regarding the
| sale Of liquor and enforcement OF the
law in vice zones adjacent to army
camps.
Suspension of the two federal dis
trtct officials was considered official
~ an indication OF the determination
Of the department Of Justice to en-
force strictly anti-liuuor and vice
regulations about army and navy
camps. Field officers Of the depart
ment will be expected to take action
on their own initiative to remedy inn
proper conditions, 1t was explained,
| and not await prodding from the de-
partment
Hundreds Of prosecutions have
been made by department agents in
the last few months. and reports
indicate that conditions about most
camps are good. The principal. difH-
culties encountered in the cleanup
movements were from city officials
who refused in some cases to assist
federal agents in enforcing the fed
eral regulations.
The Rock Island situation became
acute several weeks ago. soon after
the enhance training camp there
was placed in the class Of camps sur
rounded by liquor and vice barred
zones. Investigation agents of the
department OF justice visited Rock
Island on receipt of complaints that
saloons and immoral houses con-
tinued in operation and their reports
did not accord with the statement Of
Deputy Marshal Williams. that condi-
tons were satisfactory. Accordingly
the department took direct action to
order saloons closed and vice condi-
tions abated.
District Attorney Knots Of the
Southern Illinois district went to
Rock Island today, according to de-
partment of justice reports, to re-
quest Federal Judge Humphreys to
name a special United States COM
missioner to expedite the trial OF
violators OF the liquor law.

AGREEMENT ON
RAILWAY BILL
BY CONFEREES
tBy Associated Prsss.)

Washington, March s. Final
agreement on the administration bill
to govern federal control Of the
railroads was reached yesterday by
senate and house conferees. Lead
ers hoped last night to have the
measure ready for the Presidents
signature by Saturday, although this
plan may be upset by opposition in
the house to the making sec
ton giving the interstate commerce
commission power to review rates
after their initiation by the Presi-
dent.
With the exception Of limiting fed
eral control to II months after peace
is declared, and providing for the
taking over of short line railroads,
the bill as finally agreed upon Is
virtually in the form il passed the
senate.
The principal dispute between the
conferees was on rate fixing. I'm
der the house draft, 1.-THE President
was given complete power to nix
rates, while the senate 1egt the pow
ar with the interstate commerce
commission. Failing to compose
their differences, the conferees
adopted a compromise agreement,
drafted by Senator Robinson Of
Arkansas, unoer which the EreSi-
dent il authorized to initiate rates
subject to review by the commission.
In determining the fairness of rates,
the commission is required to take
into consideration the fact that the
carriers are being operated under
unified control, and that such read
justments in rates as are proposed,
are for the purpose Of obtaining ad-
ditiOnai revenues
The house provision bringing un-
der federal control all the so-called
short lines which either connect or
compete with roads already taken
over, was accepted by the conferees,
who also inserted In the bill O. pro-
vision limiting the ratio Of taxation
Of railroad property in the various
states to a rate not higher than that
for the year previous to the taking
over of the roads.
The adoption Of a provision fixing
the period Of government control
after the war at Fl months, was a
compromise between the conferees,
the senate having fixed the time at
Is months and the house at two
years.

FOURTH MEAL UNNECESSARY.
Just as Unnecessary as the fifth Wheel
on the Cart.

The fourth meal is Just as unnecessary
as the fifth wheel on cart. II il not
necessary for health, and not necessary
for special purposes at this time.
The food administration recognizes the
value of the sociability engendered BY
La function where refreshments are
served. But it believes that any func.
ton, such as theatre supper or after.
noon tea, which constitute a fourth meal.
is unpatriotie and contrary to the priu.
ciples of conservation and labor.
The food administration is therefore
requesting that afternoon teas and the.
atre suppers be discontinued until after
the war. The consumption of sand.
witches, cakes and sugar which usually
accompany these meals, especially aft
ernoon tea, makes an unnecessary waste
Of foodstuffs.
There will often be legitimate occa
sions for banquets, club lunches, church
suppers or similar functions. In such
case the food administration asks that
the hours, when these are held be SO reg
ulated that the banquet or luncheon
takes place on one of the three regular
home meals Indeed such meal may
well serve as lesson in intelligent food
conservation
In France and England no meals are
served after 8 o'clock at night, and in
both countries public eating places are
closed for a definite period during the
afternoon. Our people who have been
spared so much Of the hardships which
the French and English have undergone,
should be glad to cut out all fourth
meals and be content with the three
simple ones which are enough for health
Let the three be eaten in the home. Or
in the public eating place, or let one be
a social function; whatever they are,
make them simple; plan them in ac.
cordance with patriotism and intelligent
food conservation, and limit them to
three.
