 Sugar beet growing important industry in both Italy and Russia but the crop has been harvested by the Germans and in Italy outside the war zone the industry has diminished by two-thirds because there is nobody to cultivate the fields excep old men and women

It Is for Arizona

There is institution in Phoenix which should receive the favorable attention and substantial SUD- port of all who have interest in the promotion of Arizona. It is the Arizona Magazine a periodical solely devoted to Arizona Its editor and owner MT Scott, for years gave himself to the upbuilding of Arizona both as territory and later as a state Mr. Scott was for many years connected with The Repub- lcan and during that time he labored for every worthy enterprise.
 He severed his connection with his paper nearly six years ago to take charge the Arizona Magazine because it was devoted more especially to promotion than daily newspaper could be. He twice worked himself to the point of death for Arizona His field was Arizona not the agricultural industry alone. not the mining industry alone but every industry that contributed to the making of a great state
 In the later serious illness Mr. Scott his friends have ontnued the work of issuing the magazine not alone because of friendship him but because they believed they were serving the interests of the state

The Sugar Shortaoe

Though not so much has been heard of it lately there is shortage of sugar in the world and there lS h''ie wonder when We come to consider how many sources or the sugar supply have been destroyed The only wonder is that it does pinch harder and if would have done but for the early conservation f it amounting in many parts of the world almost to q total abstinence.
 To many it does not seem possible that the war could nave had much to do with the shortage It is generally understood that the sugar came from ,be plantations of the south the West Indies Hawaii Porto Rco the Philippines and parts of the world that have not been brought within tho How. it is asked could the war have affected this supply?
 The war has not, in fact, cut off a pound of sugar from any of those except insofar it has down transportation. But the sources of supply have mentioned have been for the part of our supply and now they called upon to furnish sugar for pretty much the whole world, for countries which had hitherto contributed the

COSTUME GIVES
 DOROTHY FEAST

Dorothy Colter had her troubles when she donned khaki and puttees and took the place of messenger boy in the service of the Western Union in this city. But she was game to the core and after time the boys about the message desk forgot to tease her and the business men to whom she carried telegrams came to look for her pleasant smile
 Blonde locks peeping from beneath regulation messenger boy cap, inevi- tably revealed to the stranger that Dorothy was no boy. And many man involuntarily dropped a two-bit piece in her hand as he signed for messages she bore.
 Dorothy was doing nicely and was getting by in good order when some thing happened at the Western Union office and she was out of a job. But that didn't deter her in the least and she determined to- secure another place where male attire would attract less attention. But she failed to find any thing to her liking and started for the southern end of the state with Fl Paso as her ultimate destination.
 Still wearing the khaki brooches and puttees, she alighted yesterday morn ing from the Southern Pacific train as it rolled into the station at Tucson. Those fatal blonde locks were her un- doing. Almost immediately she was surrounded by officers-policemen im- migration inspectors, department of justice men, sheriffs' deputies and what-not. Attempts at explanations involved her deeper until it was deter mined to hold her pending an investi- gation.
 A long distance message to Phoenix soon lighted matters, and then Doro- thy had the feed of her young life and was sent on her way borderward re- joicing.

TEXAS IS CALLED
 A 24-HOUR STATE
(yYall Street Journal.l

A banker from Texas, recently in New York attending a convention in- cidental to eXpatiating on the grand eur and magnificience of his home state, related what he considered a joke on an Eastern traveller He told how one evening on a transcontinental express train a stranger who sat op- posite in the diner asked What state are we in now?" T replied. Texas; we have just crossed the line"
 Nothing more was said about local ity until we met again in the diner next evening. Well. where are we now?" asked the Fastener. Texas, was the reply, whereat my Eastern friend broke into derisive laugh. You said that last night and we have been travelling twenty-four hours at fast rate, al- most in a straight line. ever since.
 Very true, I replied, but we are still in Texas. Texas is so big that it sounds like an exaggeration.
 Having thus introduced his subject. the banker stated that from the state line on the northwest to Galveston on the southeast the distance is greater than from Chicago to New Orleans. Besides being a 24-hour state in ex- tent continued the banker from Tex as, Tt is likewise a 24-hour state in opportunity, with big, open hearted welcome for the man who comes with the intention of working the soil and not the inhabitants"

FAMOUS FALL MALL
 QUIET IN WARTIME
Westminster Gazette)

To one who has been long enough away from the center of things almost to forget what it is like, a walk along Pail Mall brought some curious reflec- tions. The place seemed singularly sub dued and quiet in comparison with its pre-war hustle or its liveliness when recruiting was in full swing.
 From the Circus to Hyde Park Cor ner not single luxurious private mo- tor car or horse drawn carriage was to be seen, pedestrians were few and most of them soldiers
 A group of Colonials in hospital uni form strolled along, quietly observant, tall strapping young officer hobbled painfully on crutches. but it was not the Pail Mall of old days.

Thrift

Tho American people are said to be the least thrifty of all civilized people. We earn and handle more money of our than any other people but we do not keep The salaries we receive for every service from the highest to the lowest are regarded by Europeans prncely but at the end of life ma jority of Americans leave little nothing There IS less provision made by them for the rainy day or lo helpless old age than is made by any other people.
 The first evidence of the mprovidence of Ameri- cans appeared in the lack of business by so many of them with the banks, saving or other The Ameri- can who until comparatively recently had bank 2 account was called a plutocrat. As for holders of securities the American who owned one was "bloated bond holder.
 The fact is that there be real indepen- dence without thrift. The man who has bank ac- count who owns bonds property that can be turned into cash is his If it's in him, at all he's a mans man. Any other man in good health and in possession of a job, is independent only for the moment while he has those possessions but they may fly away in hour and then be becomes a de- pendent upon the charity of friends society
 We are getting that. Our happy lucky life has been sobered. We have had year of rainy weather. That is, the nation has had it and we are feeling it. The lesson in thrift has been brought home to us Thousands have become bond holders and other thousands will be creditors of the nation We will be the stronger because will be inde pendent.
 Here some quotations the subject of thrift that should sink deep
 Generally speaking. the who cannot save money is a failure. and those who successes"
 Thrift is an insurance policy against utter fail- and the process of saving is generally of more real value to the individual than the amount saved
 If thrift meant merely saving money, Benjamin Franklin would have gone down in history cessful mser and Lincoln and Gladstone would have borne the stigma that comes to the avarcious man.
 Tn the years that to come, how many prosperous citizen looking back to these stirring days will say laid the foundation of my fortune when bought my first Liberty bond back in 191S
 Give me boy who is buying Liberty bonds Thrift stamps today, and will give you a successful man in ten twenty years For the process of self denial will give rigidty to his back bone, squareness to his jaw and cearness to his brain, he will fight his way onward and upward to in the face of every adverse circumstance that the evil genius of l-luck contrive."
 If the with all it's and it's cost of life and gold had other effect it would have a bene- ficial effect the thousands whose patriotic duty has led them into thrift. The nation would be the stronger for that alone. Every holder of a Liberty bond, baby bond thrift stamp is better and stronger American for that possession He is better for his nation better for his family better for himself

GOOD ROADS ARE AID
 TO FRENCH FARMER
(From Life,

l went from Paris to the American Headquarters in the third week of An gust by automobile. The camp is 1So miles away, yet we travelled the whole distance over roads smoother than tbe average paved street in an American city. Good roads have been brought to the maximum of efficiency in this copntry. As result the farmers have no difficulty whatever in hauling their crops to market or station for ship ment.
 There were no farmhouses along the road, for the French farmer does not live on his farm, but in a nearby viii lage. Likewise. there were practically no fences. In the villages was struck by what seemer to me the unsanitarv way in which the people live. The chickens, rabbits, cattle and horses are housed on the first floor and the fam fly in the rear or above. In many com munities the importance of a farmer is frequently judged by the size of the manure pile he raises in front of his door. Manure is used almost exclu- sively for fertilizer here and the French are very careful of it. The American soldiers are quartered with farmers, and when they first took up their abode they caused woe and con- sterpation in many homes by removing the treasured manure some distance away. Sammy has managed to live above the live stock with plenty of comfort thus far and has not driven it off.
 E There appears to be an abundance of food in France, but the supply is due to great economy. There are two days of each week when no one eats meat of any sort. There are two other days when no one eats pastry of any l sort. Also there is economy of fuel. There is no electricity for lighting in daytime, and it is illegal to have run ming hot water except on Saturdays and Sundays. The supply must be shut off promptly at midnight Sunday. too. Last year the people of France suffered from the cold in winter This year. by their economy, they will not suffer.

CANNON FIRING IS
 FOLLOWED BY RAIN
London Chronicle)


 Whether it is a fallacy or not, the belief that heavy cannon firing in- duces rainfall is firmly implanted in the mind of the man in the firing line. as well as in that of the man in the street. He will point out to you that rain has invariably followed all the heaviest firing in this war, and indeed has discontinued some of the successes on both sides by i'm posing a lull in operations.
 Can we believe said a soldier on leave to the present writer, that the tremendous vibrations set Up by modern artillery have absolutely no effect on the clouds or air cur rents? And why does the scientist admit that volcanic eruptions influ ence the weather, and contend at the same time that gun fire that ex- eeeds the volcano in air disturbing force has no effect at all?"

Washington Star.)

 The inspector said the reports Of pawnbrokers are of great assistance to the police. Not only do they assist in the recovery of stolen property. he said. but they are the means of furn- ishing much valuable information on other subjects.
 The question of re- establishing pawn shops has been brought to the atten- ton of numerous civic associations during the last few weeks in the form of resolution declaring there is a public demand for the re-establish- ment of such business. It was further recited that the associations were op- posed to any change in existing law that might result in re-establishing the loan shark business.
