MAKE ANCIENT PUEBLO
 A TERMINAL POINT

Realizing the injustice to farmers in Arizona because the nearest wheat terminal is Los Angeles, the food ad- ministration of Arizona has requested that Tucson be made terminal point and the price of wheat at that point be fixed at $2.15.
 This will increase the price of wheat to all growers in Arizona. The present price is $2.10 per bushel, with the freight from Los Angeles to Ari- zona points deducted. The new price, if Tucson is made a terminal, will mean that the price paid the farmers for wheat will be s2.15 per bushel less the freight from Arizona points to Tucson. The freight from Los Angeles to Tucson is 30 cents per hundred or IS cents per bushel, and this will represent the saving to the farmers at Tucson, if Tucson is made terminal with corresponding reductions for other points.

AMERICAN APPETITES
 NEED DISCIPLINE

Studies of the monthly per capita consumption of wheat, meat, fat and sugar in the United States and in European countries show that, in gen eral, people in the United States eat the most per person. The German sugar ration for 1916-1917 was hardly more than one-tenth of our consump- ton and in meats we consumed al- most six times as much as the Ger mans were allowed.
 France is on a slightly more liberal diet than Germany, yet the French sugar ration is only II pounds per month per person as compared with "A pounds in the United States. Eng land, though commonly considered a country of hearty eaters, uses even less fat than France and is about mid way between France and the United States as regard meat and Sugar con- sumption.
 In view, of these facts recently an nounced by the U. s. food administra- ton, voluntary reduction in the use of wheat, meat, sugar and fats here in this country should work no hard ship on our people, and will be an im- portant means of strengthening the Liberty armies and nations as we'll as our own digestions.

 Market Letter for the Past Week
FEBRUARY BROUGHT OUT REC ORD BEEF AND PORK
 MOVEMENT.

During February the five western markets received more than 100000 hogs. With the exception of the sec ond month in 1916, when 2,160,000 hogs were reported, it was the largest supply ever received in any February.
 Hogs ran heavier than usual, and on the pound basis February hog re- ceipts at five markets are the largest on record for that month. The in- crease in Kansas City was 32,000 pounds, in Chicago 137,000, and the total increase at the five markets for the month was 146,000 over the re- ceipts a year ago. Omaha and St. Louis reported a moderate decrease.
 Cattle receipts were the largest last month ever reported at the five mar kets in February, and the liberal sup ply followed large receipts in Janu- ary. Compared with February last year the five western markets re- ceived 16S,000 more cattle, an increase of 26 per cent. Beef cattle predom- mated.

JUST GOT OVER A COLD

Look out for kidney troubles and backache. Colds overtax the kidneys and often leave them weak. For weak kidneys-well, read what this Miami Woman says:
 Mrs. Nicholas Den, S21 Live Oak St. box BOP, Miami, Ariz., says: "Any- body suffering from disordered kid neys should try Doan's Kidney Pills, for they are fine. It is seldom that 1 am without them on hand. At times when a cold has settled in my kid neys, my back has been weak and has ached all the time. I have often been dizzy and felt tired and languid. My kidneys have been disordered, too. At tacks like this have always led me to get Doan's Kidney Pills. I have yet to see the time that Doan's have fail. ed to quickly relieve the trouble. After using them can go about my house. work again, feeling like a different person."
 Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Den uses. Foster Milburn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Iuffering Described As Torture Relieved by Black -Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oi his place, writes: "My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- jared himself with piece of heavy na- rhinery, across the abdomen. He was 70 sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up . ten- cent bottle of castor oil, and drink t two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

VERDE RANCHER DIGS
 FOR WATER-STRIkES OIL

The old pendulum for the time be- ing has swung from Big Chino to Verde valley, and now there is pre- vailing some excitement which is due to nothing more than accident.
 Dell Higgins, a rancher, is a pros pective petroleum prince, but not with any preconcerted designs, but through good luck in hitting the pay streak in digging a well to provide for domestic purposes. At depth of forty feet a strata of Coalinga shale was penetrat- ed, but this indication of an oil flow being in evidence was not ascertained until he drank of the water, which was decidedly unpalatable as well as dis gusting to the taste. The formation was sent to the coast for analysis and word came back of an oil condition be- ing the base of this product.--Prescott Journal Miner.

VICTOR YGARDENs-
 THEY'LL PAY.

Did you know that food of all kinds is going to increase in price from now to the end of the war--whenever that may be?
 Did you know that despite all that can be done to check profteering, this is bound to happen?
 Did you know that if there were absolutely no profiteering that it would happen anyway?
 And this is one reason at least:
 Labor is scarce and it is going to be scarcer.
 War industrials have called labor from the farms.
 This tends to shorten production, to shorten food supplies, to increase the price of food by application of the rule of supply and demand.
 In view of this fact it behooves ev- cry person who has a foot of soil to spare to get it under cultivation. Get your own Victory Garden under way and don't lose any time about it. Raise a portion of the things you eat, and thus curtail some of the high prices you are going to pay for food next winter. It will pay you to act today.

OLD TIME SCENE

A. H. Chartz, one of the best known rangemen in this section, was an ar- rival Tuesday from Walnut Grove, and reported a repitition of weather doings of 1905, when rains were heavy during March and range condi- tions were excellent. He stated the old time scene is again in evidence to- day, and one grazing feature he men, toned in particular, that of-cattle eat ing wild onions which are growing in abundance on the south side of the range. This food is preferred to all others, and livestock is getting in ex- cellent form. The situation has been suddenly transformed from one of alarm to fine outlook, he says, and the danger period has passed to the range industry. Prescott Journal Miner.

INDIAN RESERVATIONS
 TO BE ENLARGED

According to the Gallup Herald an attempt is being made to have the Navajo and Zuni Indian reservations enlarged and the effort will be sue cessful immediately unless the busi- ness of the country wire emphatic protests to senators and representa- tives at Washington. The Indians have enough land and to give them more would be very detrimental to the best interests of Mckinley county. Power ful influences are behind this move and united effort by all business men of the county will be needed to de- feat it.

EAT MORE CARROTS.

One of he best root crops for pfes- ent planting is the carrot. Plant in rows four or five abreast and don't thin out until they become of an eat able size. They may crowd each other a little and take trifle longer to de- velop, but will come through all right, remaining tender and good the wbale year round.
 The seed should be pressed into the soil about half an inch deep and may be covered with burlap or straw until it perminates. Concentrate the ferti- lizer, digging it deeply around them after they get start.
 Carrots have medical properties not generally appreciated, being particul- arly beneficial for those suffering from asthma, bronchitis and other troubles.-Ex.

THE KANSAS WHEAT CROP.

Bountiful rains have fallen through out the state of Kansas, thus insuring fairly good crop of wheat. The Sunflower state planted the largest acreage of any state in the Union last fall and while the grain was, much of it, sown late, with fair and reasonable rains, the state may come up to the nations expectation. The eastern part of the state had seasonable weather last fall, but the western part did not receive good rains until the present month.

already in the outskirts of Chateau
Thierry, an Am erican machine gun
unit was hurried thither in motor lor
ries. Chateau Thierry lies on both
banks of the Marine, which is spanned
by a big bridge.
1.-The Americans had scarcely
reached their quarters when news was
received that the Germans had broken
into the northern point of Chateau
Thierry, having made their way
through the gap they had driven in
our lines to the left of the town and
then pouring along the streets to the
bridge, intending to establish them
selves firmly on the south bank and
capture the town.
1.-The American machine gunners
and French Co1onials were thrown in
Chateau-Thierry together. The Am.
orleans Immediately took over the
defense of the river bank, especially
the approaches to the bridge. Fight
ing with their habitual courage and
using their guns, with an accuracy
which won the highest encomiums
from the French, they, brought the
enemy to a standstill.
"Already wavering under the AM
erican fire, the Germans were coun-
ter alta cked by the French Colonials
and driven from the town. They re-
turned to the attack the next, night
and under cover of darkness crept
into the town along the river bank
and began to work their way through
the streets toward the main bridge.
At the same moment a tremendous
artillery bombardment was opened
upon the southern half Of the town.
when within range of the ma
chine guns the Germans advanced
under the cover of clouds. Of thick
white smoke from smoke bombs. In
order to battle the aim of the Amer
lean gunners. surprise, however,
was in store for them. They were
already crossing the bridge, evidently
believing themselves masters of both
banks, when a thunderous explosion
blew the center Of the bridge and a
number of Germans with it into the
river Those who reached the south
ern bank were Immediately captured.
"In this battle in the streets. and
again at night, the young American
soldiers showed a courage and de-
ter mination which aroused the ad
n,iration of their French Colonial
comrades With their machine guns
they covered the withdrawal of
troops across the bridge before it's
destru ction, and although under Sc
we're fire themselves, kept all the APP
proaches to the bank under rain
o. bullets which nullified all the
subsequent efforts of the enemy to
cross the river. Every attempt of the
Germans to e1ude the vigilance of the
Americans resulted in disaster to
themselves.

leans can set a much greater loss

Help Scarce. O..
At the present time, help in all
lines in Berlin is very scarce. The

men to work in quarrying. and for
this reason Frank Bacon. one of the
officials of the company. has taken a.
trip to South Carolina in search of
workers. This is his second trip this
year.
The Lane Construction Co. had con-
siderable trouble in getting the men
necessary to carry> on repairs, and
| although it has at present more men
! than at any time in the past, it is still

| dents who have been supervising their
work in this state have been drafted,
anC this fact has hindered progress.
