Greeting To Farmers OF the United
States.

States.
The Federal Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS wishes to extend the
following greeting:
When our Country entered this
great world war it was recognized
in peculiar way that food would
decide the outcome. Appeals to the
patriotism of the farmer were freely
and constantly made by the Govern
ment, at the same time that the
conditions upon which he might
make answer to these appeals daily
become more difficult.
In spite of scarcity of labor, in the
face of the fact that the prices OF
much which the farmer had to sell
were fixed and the prices of what he
had to buy mounted sky-ward and
profteering thrived, yet he has gone
ahead bravely, periodically, and pro-
duced yield per capita of farm
operators possibly never exceeded il
our history.
Not only has the farmer toiled
early and late to produce this food
but the call of the Red Cross and Y
M. C. A. received from his hands a
quick and admirable response. In
the first two Liberty Loan campaigns
the amount subscribed by farmers
was not segregated from the total
but in the Third Loan the farmer
went lover the top" In splendid
shape, as no doubt he did in the
other Loans though no credit was
given therefor. War Savings Stamps
are in nearly all farm homes. What
ever calls our Government may make
for further financial assistance from
the farmer-and such calls will be
made-will be met fully, generously
The Federal Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS wishes to extend to you
its appreciations of this great record
and urge, that in view of the i'm.
portance of this basic industry in
which you are engaged, you will
assist us in securing for farmers g
full and just recognition in govern
mental affairs in all matters pertain
ing to production, transportation
and marketing, to the end that your
ability to continue in this patriotic
service may not be lost or impaired
(Signed) w. T. GREASY,
Chairman Executive Committee

Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan
are now being turned out by the
thousands daily by the Treasury's
Bureau of Engraving and Printing.
The bonds are similar in form and
design to those of the third loan,
and space has been left on each bond
for insertion of the exact terms of
the bonds.
1t is believed that sufficient
number of the bonds will be ready
to make possible immediate delivery
of all bonds of the fourth loan as
they are purchased.

VEAL, BEEF, LAMB, MUTTON.

Last Tuesday Timothy A. Riordan, United States Food Administrator for Arizona, is sued the following order which will be welcome news to Arizona meat eaters:
 From now until March IS these meats may be served with every meal on every day whether meatless" or otherwise.
 Under the new ruling of the federal food administration the term "meatless" has been made to mean porkless' for Ari- zonans until March 13.
 All this is explained in a tele- gram received by Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administra tor for Arizona from Herbert Hoover which reads as follows:
 Washing view of the animal situation in Oregon. Washington, Idaho, California, Nevada and Arizona due prinr cipally to transportation as discussed in detail at recent con ference of Administrators here we have reached the decision Cl1dG SIdVCo LhoS AO move restrictions until March 13 on eating of beef, mutton, lamb b and veal on meatlesS days and with meatleSS meals.
 "The new conservation pro- gram designates porkless Tues day Saturday together with one porkless meal each day. In other words beef, mutton, lamb, and veal will be permitted, but no pork, bacon, ham or lard should be eaten on porkless days or with porkless meals in the states mentioned which we wish adhered to closely.-Hoover."
 The official explanation of this action is that both cattle and sheep raiserS were faced with the situation of general drought conditions on the one hand and the lack of transportation vacili- ties on the other. The stock had to be marketed at once or perish and this was the situation as presented by stock men at the recent conference By lifting the ban on the fouc meats in question a local demand in the western states affected is thereby creat ed, and thus the situation which was fast becoming critical is to be remedied, it is hoped.

BRING HOME THE BACON.

After almost a month spent at the National Capital, on govern ment business, Collector of Customs c. l.. Hardy and Wm. T. Haley, the we'll known news paper man, who has been appointed special agent of the War Trade Board, with head quarters at Nogales, returned home the forepart of the week.
 Both gentlemen report having had busy time in Washington, where there is something doing every minute these strenuous war times. Colonel Hardy has the distinction of having been re nominated and confirmed as Collector of Customs for this district, all in one day; which is going some even for Colonel Hardy, who has a reputation for never going to sleep on any job, especially where the government is interested.
 The appointment of Wmilliam T. Haley to the important, responsibly position, for which he is thoroughly competent to fill with credit to himsel and our Uncle Sam, meets the hearty approval of everyone, even those who desired the position for one of their friends. Bill Haley has the ability and is honest. Dollars to doughnuts, he makes good.

IMPORTANCE OF GOAL IN wAE

Ever since man has employed metal in his weapons of war. the forge has played an important part in history, but never before were there such gigantic forge fires as those of today in Pitts burgh, Bethlehem and other American manufacturing cities. There the great furnance fires are kept flaming and roaring all day and night that the guns and shells so necessary to the safety and success of our men in France may be supplied. These great fires that consume millions and millions of tons of coal are the liberty fires of today. It is the patriotic duty of every American man and woman to do all in his or her power to conserve the avail able coal supply for these fires. Every bucket of coal saved at the domestic fireside is bucket of coal heaped on the fires of liberty.
 The United States Fuel Ad- ministration has urged upon the American people the necessity for conserving coal and asked that its use be entirely dispensed with where possible. This re quest if compiled with will strengthen our country in two vitally important ways: First it will make more certain the supply of coal needed to manu- facture munitions, second, it will relieve the railroads of the strain of moving coal for domestic use when there are other and more important things for them to apply their equipment to for the successful prosecution of the war;
 Here in the western part of the country the use of coal is particularly serious, for it has to be brought to us over many hundreds of miles from Utah and Wyomiog We have available supplies of wood and oil and these should be used in prefer ence to coal wherever possible. Oil heaters and Pearl Oil should be more generally used, for they supply an excellent, steady heat at low cost and keep the house comfortable in cold weather without recourse to the use of coal so vital to the worlds cause of liberty at the present time.

WAS A BIG SUCCESS.
Smoker Under Auspices of Santa
 Cruz Club Enjoyed by Many.

The Santa Cruz Club smoker yesterday evening was attended by large representation of the membership, and however con sidered it was a very successful function refiecting great credit upon the entertaiumeut com mittee, of which Mir. R. L. O'Neill of the Daily Herald is the chairman, says Wednesday Mornings Oasis.
 The proceedings opened with a short address by Mr. O'Neill, who outlined in we'll chosen language, the object of the smoker, adding that it would be repeated every month.
 The entertainment began with appropriate songs by quartette embracing Chaplin Eusey, of the Thirty fifth Infantry, Mir. R B. Stevens, Clifton Whiles aud Mr Durfee.
 Then there was a wrestling match between a couple of boys who were dubbed Mutt" and
 Jeff" which was sting and exciting, the youngsters display ing & sciene that was surprising in those of their age-ten and twelve years respectively,
 Professor Dickinson of the Arizona Bureau of Mines (State University made short and interesting address upon Safe ty First
 Then came Consul B. M. Law ton of Nogales, Sonora, who had been featured to sing; but the gentleman side stepped that per formance and amused the audi ence with some rich and racy jokes at the expense of some of the gentlemen present.
 The next Dumber was boxing match between Garvey and Jarrett of the 35th Infantry, which was a clever exhibition of proficiency in the manly art.
 A violin and concertina duet by local talent was the next number.
 Then there came pillow fight between Mutt" and Jeff" which was a scream from start to finish :; and their stunt was followed by others of the same kind by sol diers of the Thirty fifth. Mount ed upon a carbon cylinder the contestants pummeled each other heartily with their pillows, their sallies evoking rounds of laugh ter, appauSe and cheers.
 Then a lunch was served after which there came singing and smoking, with more singing and more smoking, until the hour was late, when, the gathering dispersed, all highly gratified with tue entertainment of the evening, as provided by Chair man O'Neill of the entertainment committee, who was assisted most ably by MT. Williams of the Y. M. c. A.

Little T'hrobs That Bring
Sympathetic Response

Dear Mrs. Thompson: a. l am 16
years of age and graduated from high
| school last June. l had my chance
either to go to work or keep on with
school, and l chose work. I am now
working in d laundry and really my
mind seems to ge betting more corrupt
every day because all l hear among
the girls is bad jokes and swearing.
What would you do IL you We're me?
(2) l am considered quite good look
ing and a good dresser. but it seems
as If can't get fellow like. think
that all that ails me is that am tickle,
don't you?
DOTTIE DIMPLES.
G) Instead of allowing the corrup-
ton around you to get the best Of you,
you ought to be trying to help reform
the other girls. Be kind and sympa-
thetic to them, but don't be goody-
goody. Don't laugh at their Jokes and
don't participate in the swearing, but
when one of the girls uses vulgar lam
guage to you. answer her in nice, po-
lite, good English, and soon the girls
will all be initiating you and trying
to copy your manners.
If you find. however, that your own
character is not strong enough to with
stand the corruption and if you cannot
seem to improve the general atrnos-
phere, but that it is showing on you,
the best thing you can do is to hunt
another job-one in better company
and where the influence will W good.
do a lot of good work among these
girls and you ought to try.
(2) Perhaps you are not tickle, but
just little particular and hard to
please. You are quite young to be go
ing with boys and sc don't try yet to
pick one out as a possible future hus-
band, but learn to like the good in all
the boys and dislike the bad. There
are lots of nice young men and you
will eventually meet some you like.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
girl of 16 and l am interested in a GER
tain young man whom l met when
was Is years old. The young man
was at that time II years old. We
were steady companions while he was
here but he went away in 1915 and
corresponded with me for a month, and
haven't heard from him since. In
stead of forgetting him l cannot get
him off my mind an hour in the day
Please advise me.
AWFULLY GRATEFUL.
You will have to get him off your
mind, because evidently he has for
gotten you-both of you were such
children that you couldn't expect him
to think of you seriously.
You mustn't cling to the past, be-
cause IL you do you let many beauti-
full things of the present slip by with
out even being noticed. A girl of 16
is too young to meet her Prince
Charming. In a few years, unless YOU
are asleep dreaming about the past.
you will meet someone You care much
more for than your childhood friend.
Go places with girls and have good
time. When you are a little older and
have more boy friends l think it will
be easy for you to forget.
The only thing that helps one to
forget something that is unpleasant
is an invincible determination to do
so. Put the boy out of your mind
every time he enters it. Force your
self to think of something else.

Three and a half times as many i'm

Three and a half times as many i'm
migrants from the United States into
western Canada arrived during the
first nine months of this year as dur
ing the same period In 1915, according
to figures furnished by the department
OF immigration. The number of such
persons for the first nine months of
the year 1915 was 1927; for 1915. a.
022, and for 1917. 29.918. The amount
Of cash and effects brought in by these
immigrants does not show the same
proportionate increase for this year
over 1915 as did the number OF per-
sons. The total of cash and effects
was $2,156.7s6 for 1915, $3,319,943 for
1916 and $5,914,033 for 1917.
