10000 SKILLED MEN
 WANTED FOR SERVICE
 IN AVIATION SECTION

Qualified men registered under the selective service law may be inducted into service to fill the call for 10000 skilled mechanics needed by the avia- tion section of the Signal corps, by applying to their local boards. Men not registered may enlist at recruiting stations.
 The present call is particularly for machinists, auto mechanics, carpen- ters, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, cabinet makers, electricians, coppersmiths, sheetmetal workers, propeller makers, wireless operators and constructors, tailors, tentmakers, sailmakers, truck masters, vulcanizers, welders, and ex- perts on magnetos, ignition systems, cameras, watches, and clocks.
 Men will be sent to San Antonio, Tex, for segregation by trades, fol- lowed by brief course of instruction at flying fields or factories, then or ganized into squadrons mostly for service overseas. Additional informa- tion may be secured by application to the Air Division, Personnel Depart ment, Washington, D. c.

will be found anxious to collect their individual bits of indemnity, to thus place themselves on record as denying their patronage to the nation which tears up treaties, reverts in warfare to gas and liquid fire, enslaves women and mutilates children with official sanction, which would deny freedom to all peoples.
 The signature of all the people will not be necessary, however, to get the maximum effect. Commercial Ger many knows that if after the war, 5 per cent. of purchasers ask deal CT if goods are made in Germany be- fore buying them, that dealer will not handle merchandise so made. If 25 per cent. of the people take that posi- tion there is no hope for German trade.
 The commercial classes of Germany already hard hit and infinitely dis tressed, will see the hand of an averaging destiny in this campaign be- fore it has gone far. They may be depended on to exert all the influence of which they are capable to break the strangle hold of the military au- tocracy and stop the war before their ruin is certain and permanent.
 The German armies marched into Russia while the Bolsheviki govern ment haggled over terms. Every day of delay meant the loss of Russian territory. The Bolsheviki hastened to sign unconditional peace terms. So will this campaign of blacklist march through the nations of the earth, con quering every day and for a genera tion, block of German trade. It can be stopped only by making peace. Every day of delay means a fright ful loss.
 So may Germany be driven to mak- ing peace. Failing that, the collection of indemnity from her is certain and irrevocable. The weapon is in the hands of the peoples of the world They use it by signing little slips of paper.

BISHOP WANTS A
 ROOM IN FRANCE

T. c. Bishop, a member of the cattle firm of J. H. Bishop & Sons, of Selig- man, was in Flagstaff few days the first of the week. MT. Bishop was we'll pleased with the big rains that soaked down the ranges in the Selig- man country and predicted a splendid critter crop over that way the coming year. T. c. learned lately from the Prescott local board that there was considerable trouble going on over in Europe; that the local board, after putting him through his paces to some extent, felt that there was a splendid opening for his keen grey eye in guarding about eight feet of trench against German germs. Believing that his presence was rather urgently desired, concluded that the big fight was well worth while, notwithstand- ing the fact that he had not been as yet properly introduced to the kaiser About every one of his calibre they get lover there" from Arizona counts several in general results, for when they "fuss," they fuss to a plumb cleaning.

UNCLE SAM'S TEN
 COMMANDMENTS

President Wilson has signed a bill which takes it's place in history as probably the most liberal legislation in protection of a nations fighters ever placed upon the statute book of any country. It is good enough and strong enough to be called the National Ten Commandments, and can be set out as follows:
 Thou shalt not evict, for non-pay- ment of rent, a soldiers dependents under penalty of S10,000 fine.
 Thou shalt not cut off a soldiers life insurance because of delayed premiums.
 Thou shalt not foreclose a mortgage on soldiers property.
 Thou shalt not take away soldiers home on which he has made part pay ment.
 |. Thou shalt not sell soldiers prop erty because of his failure to pay the international, state or local.
 Thou shalt not settle a lawsuit against a soldier during his absence
 If soldier sue, the courts shall postpone action until he can attend to it.
 If soldier have mine, or timber or farm claim, assessments on which are overdue, it shall be held for him
 Honor thy soldier and thy sailor that thy days may be long in the Lant of Liberty.
 No man hath greater love than he that offereth his life for the worlds sake, and it is commanded that neithe, lawyers nor the loan-sharks nor the gatherers of taxes shall fatten on him
 Congress is content to call this bil the Civil Rights Bill.
 Intellectual sloth!
 It is the Divine Rights Bill.

CADET RIFLES EXPECTED
 TO ARRIVE WITHIN A MONTH

Fifteen hundred training rifles which had been ordered for distribu- ton among the school cadet corps of the state have at last been shipped, 'ac- cording to a telegram received from the New Jersey factory, and it is ex- pected that they will arrive in Phoenix ! in about four weeks.
 The delivery of the rifles have been delayed for the past sixty days because of the embargo on freight shipments.
 The training rifles cost about $7 each and in weight, size, balance and general appearance are the same as the Springfield 30-30 regulation rifle. They have the new web sling, but have no bayonet. The rifles can be used for all drills except range prac- tice, as the barrel is dummy" and cannot shoot.
 Previous to the distribution of the training rifles, the cadet corps will be inspected by Captain Oscar F. Temple captain quartermaster of the Arizona reserve battalion. The rifles will be issued as follows: Flagstaff Normal, 60; Phoenix high, 325; Tucson high, 120; Yuma high, 60; Bisbee high, 7O; Douglas high, 100; Prescott high, 50;

CORNVILLE ITEMS.

The young folks enjoyed themselves last Saturday night at a dance at the schoolhouse hall. Music furnished by MT. Stegman on the violin and Donald Lee at the piano. All report good time.
 The stockmen are still wearing smile. It was another big rain and young grass is coming through the ground and looking fine.
 The recent rain put Oak creek about three feet higher than any of the old timers ever saw it. Much damage was done to irrigating ditches as the water went through the Oak creek canal or what is known as the Mason and Lane ditch at the J. O. Hurst fruit ranch, taking away the ditch and the public highway for a distance of 300 yards, also going back into the Hurst ranch about thirty feet, the break starting within few feet of Mir. Hurst's yard fence, and only for live growth of willows that had been set in front of the house to protect the ditch, it is more than possible that the greater part of the Hurst ranch would have been swept away. It is estimated that it will cost about $3,000 to repair the damage. A large break is reported in the Fain ditch, just below the old Corn vile ranch, or Dickinson ranch, but at present the extent of the break is not known. It is also reported that the flood waters came within a few feet of the Camp Verde bridge.

PRESIDENT APPROVES
 COMMUNITY COUNCILS

Chairman Heard of the State Coun- cil of Defense has received a notable telegram from the President, com mandatory of the effort now being made in Arizona to extend the work of the organization into every county and community in the state. The President wires:
 "Your state, in extending its na- tional defense organization by the creation of community councils, is in my opinion making an advance of vital significance. It will, I believe, result when thoroughly carried out, in weld ing the nation together as no nation of great size has ever been welded before. It will build up from the bot tom an understanding and sympathy and unity of purpose and effort which will no doubt have an immediate and decisive effect upon our great under taking.
 "You will find it, I think, not so much new task as a unification of existing efforts, fusion of energies now too much scattered and at times somewhat confused, into on harmon ious and effective power.
 "It is only by extending your or ganization into small communities that every citizen of the state can be reached and touched with the inspira- tion for the common cause.
 "The schoolhouse has been suggest ed as an apt, though not essential, center for your local council. It symbolizes one of the first fruits of such an organization, namely, the spreading of the realization of the great truth that it is each one of us, as an individual citizen, upon whom rests the ultimate responsibility.
 Through this great new organiza- tion we will express with added em- phasis our will to win and our confi- dence in the utter righteousness of our purpose.
 Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON,"

Such is the oath which all enemies the world around are asked to take and which is to me the basis of a campaign of commercial pressure which may bring Germany to her knees or, failing that, which will col lect from her an indemnity for her outrages against civilization.
 The plan was originated by William Atherton Du Puy, of Washington, a magazine writer.
 With relation to the United States it is to be executed through patriotic societies and particularly through women's organizations. These socie- ties will distribute the pledges through their members. The members will secure signatures and return them to headquarters.
 Mir. Du Puy will receive reports, compile the figures and undertake to apply the thumbscrew of commercial pressure by acquainting Germany of the progress of the campaign which is destined to destroy her trade through out the world for generation.
 The theory is that the trade of an individual, your personal patronage for the rest of your life, is worth $500 to Germany. By signing the pledge you deprive Germany of that $500. In so doing you collect an indemnity of $500 from her. In the course of your life, the trade that otherwise would have gone to Germany goes to her commercial rivals, the nations with which she is now at war. You pay to them the indemnity you have collected from Germany.
 The whole matter is simple, sure, ir- revocable. It is entirely in the hands of the individual.
 Commercial Germany might not feel the loss of $500 nor that of million of your kind. The campaign will not however, be stopped with a few mil lions.
 It is believed that the great mass of the people of the commercial world

RECORD OF BEDELL,
 GREATiMOTORCYCLE RIDER

The announcement from the Lake Charles, La, aviation school of the death of Alan T. Bedell caused pro found sorrow among the thousands of friends and admirers that Bedell had in southern California. The dispatch states that his death was due to a complication of measles and pneu- monia and that his illness was of very short duration.
 Bedell was one of the most brilliant motorcycle riders that ever contested in the west He was most famed for his wonderful transcontinental ride on Henderson, June 5-13, 1917, when he established a new record for the dis tance of 3296 miles. He also captur- ed the 24-hour motorcycle record in Los Angeles, March 27, 1917, at Ascot park, making total mileage of 1l53 miles on a Harley Davidson.
 Bedell held other local records and was one of the most feared contend CTS in endurance runs that ever per formed in California.
 The untimely death of Bedell re- moves from the motorcycle field a man who was one of the finest gentle men and the best sportsman that the industry could boast. He was the very type of young man to whom aviation would most appeal, and his friends here were not surprised when they heard he had enlisted in this branch of the service. Only recently he wrote to Los Angeles acquaintances describing the pleasures of flying ant evincing his love of the "game."
 Bedell was married less than C month ago. His bride was an eastern girl and the couple had planned or coming to southern California tt make their residence after the war Everyone here who knew Alan q Bedell-and they are legion--wil grieve with the unfortunate wife 1T her great bereavement.-Motorcyc Magazine.
