THE FIRST CHURCH BELL
By R. T. Lowery.

"The first church bell in the Slokan will call saint and sinner to worship at New Denker tomorrow" News item in the Ledge. ]. q never quit a camp until l hear the first church bell. Jim Ward, Sol dier, Prospector and Philosopher. Jim is still in New Denker, but when in the army he drove a six-mule team from Tucson, Arizona, to Old Town, San Diego, in 1869. l went out the other day to see where Jim had hitch ed the mules; but the tourists of lat ter days had whittled the post into a million souvenirs. "Say, Bill, what was that shlnln'
 sound,
 I heard a while ago? It sounded like a church bell,
 A-ringin' soft and low, And stirrin' up old memories
 With its echoes, don't you know. He was digging on the mountain
 Silver Mountain-when d bell Sent up front far below him
 Soft as any funeral nel, Its first imploring music,
 And it bound him in a spell. And musing down the crooked trail,
 Hat in hand, to where "Old Bllf' Cooked the bannocks and the bacon
 In their camp beside Till; Walked the searcher after treasure,
 Pioneer of Silver Hill. Another time, a church, bride,
 Like some old forgotten song, Memory brought back to the searcher As he needless strode along. Another time, church, bier,
 Came with memory's rushing
 throng:
 'There, Bill, it's startin' in again,
 Ringin' soft and ringin' low; You don't reckon it's in Denker,
 The new church bell? Bill, you
 know;
 This old camp is almost done for,
 And it's time for us to go."

OF THE
 AME ERICAN NAVY

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. S.-Interest- ing figures received by the state coun- cil of defense show that the American navy now has a personnel strength ap- proximating that of the much larger British navy at the outbreak of the war. It has 26O,OOO enlisted men, 15,- 900 officers, 33,OOO marines, with 1197 officers, and about 6O,OOO employees, in all a strength of about 340,0O0. A year ago there were only 68,0OO sail ors and 45OO officers and less than 1000 marines, with 344 officers. h. cidentally, a very large part of the marine corps already is in France, doing duty with the army.
 A year ago there were 300 naval vessels of all types. Now more than a thousand are in commission. The navy used to cost S8,OOO,OOO a month; it now costs $6O,OOOOOO a month. Within eighteen months congress has appropriated for naval needs the cECr- nous amount of S1,905, ,410,930.
 The navy has taken over the prin- cipal radio stations of the United States and insular possessions. It has its own projectile plant at Charleston, West Virginia, its own powder mills at Indian Head, Maryland, and is operat- ing at highest speed the great cannon factory at Washington, already one of the largest of its kind in the world. It has its own aircraft factory in Phil adelphia and has five private plants building airplanes for its uses as well. Every advantage offered by science is being studied and utilized where pos sible by the naval consulting board whereof the president is Thomas A. Edison.

ADDING ID FOOD,
 STUFFS PRODUCTION

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 11.-At a late meeting in Tucson of the food production committee of the State Council of Defense, the principal mat ter considered was increased produc- tion of foodstuffs. Though the win ter has been a dry one there still is time to plant such spring wheats, and this is urged in such irrigated sections of Maricopa, Graham, Yuma, Pinal and Pima counties. Thus there may also be an increase in the production of hay. There was discussion also of range problems, based upon the pres ent general condition of drought all over the southwest, valuable data on the subject being furnished by Field Agent L. M. Harrison of the Bureau of Estimates oa the Department of Agriculture.
 MT. Charles c. Green, who has lived in the Salt River valley since 1886, and who understands agricultural conditions not only from the stand point of the old-timer, but as a man who is always trying to get modern methods on his farm, is doing his best in trying to get the farmers of Mari copa from a spirit of loyalty to plant more wheat. MT. Green, who IS the president of the Maricopa County Farm Improvement association, and who has been very active in various movements for the welfare of the farmers, made the following statement yesterday: "Our country is at war, and because there is absolute need for it we should plant wheat, as 1t will help up to win the war. Our boys at the front, they need it, and may need it for years to come, for all we know. We must take care of them, and can do our bit in that way. Wheat can still be planted for from four to six weeks with assurance of good results if we have a favorable season. Every man who plants wheat, however, should be very careful to have his seed thoroughly blue-stoned or treated with formaldehyde so as to use every pre- caution to not have rust or smut Tn this crop. There is one that the gov ernment is calling for in agricultural lines and that is more wheat, and 1t is up to the farmers to plant this wheat, even if they know that they can plant some other crop and make more money. But with the present assured price of wheat for 1918, they are assured of making a handsome profit on their land, even if they do not get more than 1500 pounds an acre, and I know personally of land in this valley that has yielded up to 2SOO pounds per acre. At the present price Early Baart Wheat of SS.5O per
 hundred, it is readily seen that this crop yields good profit on the land.

PROGRAM
 CHAUTAUQUA LYCEUM

Next Tuesday evening will be giv- en the next number of the Chautauqua Lyceum program. and it promises to be one of the most entertaining of the series. The Homeland Quartet, in songs of the homeland, will give the people of Kingman pause for study of thd blessings of a great and peace ful country and a contented people. Songs of patriotism, heart songs of the home folks, and the sentimental songS of all nations will comprise the repertoire of the quartet.
 This lyceum course has been ar ranged for by a number of people of Kingman, who have pledged them selves to meet the expense. It is edu- cational, interesting and pleasing and well worth the time and money of all. Few musical entertainments have come to Kingman the past year or two and good singing and good music should be a pleasant change from the silent drama.

ARIZONA MINING INDUSTRYFACES
 BIG PROBLEMS

BISBEE, Ariz., Jan. 1.-Two prin- cipal problems confront the mining industry in Arizona and other west ern mining states this year, either one of which may be attended by sharp awakening of the general public to the fact that large mining operations do not traverse a road bordered with roses minus the traditional thorn, and, more than that, that when the thorns get into the flesh of the big fellow the hurt is felt just as sharply by everyobdy around him, which in the case of Arizona means everybody Tn the state.
 The first problem is the mainten- ance of production oi metal at the high rate which is necessary to the government and its allies and at the same time to keep up the develop ment of ore resources which must 20 hand in hand with mining if ca pacity is maintained, just as much as it it necessary that the workman should have food sufficient to full dav's shift if he is going to work.
 The second problem is that of finan- cing properties which have not yet reached a half sustaining stage, and properties which have the promise of making new producers if able to se- cure the money for development. Aid to both of these classes of properties is essential in order that new re- sources may be made available to take the place of those withdrawn from the ground, made into metal and destroy ed. This is precisely the same as re- plenishing food supplies and clothing as they are taken from the stocks of the stores.
 Mining men agree that in the first problem the solution rests entirely with the government. In part, SC does the second. Either advance IT the price of metal or lowering of the cost of supplies will solve the problem of gaining and maintaining maximum production and carrying on propor' tionate development in established mines. Both of these matters have been taken in hand by the govern ment. At the present time both ad vance in the price of the metal an' reduction in the cost of supplies ar necessary in order to prevent smal producers from continuing to go ou of business and large producers iron continuing to sap the strength tha should be maintained, in such in stances as it has not already beel necessary to cut down production l order to avoid ruin of property an indefinite closing down.

FALSE STATEMENTS
 ARE HARM FIJI

The finances of the whole country public as well as private, by force of the national needs at this crisis are subordinated and adjusted to the great Liberty loan. Financing by railroads or other great industries and all lesser private financing must be considered primarily in relation to the govern ment loans.
 The needs of private interests, the money necessities of the business of the country as well as that of the government itself are all considered by the secretary of the treasury in fixing the amount and date of each issue of Liberty loan bonds, and the effect of the issue of bonds on all other securities and all other loans IS given due consideration.
 The dissemination, therefore, of un- true information, even when made ir honest belief and with good intention ia harmful, and Secretary McAdoo or December 20 issued the following strong statement:
 ''The report that the next issue oi Liberty bonds will be S8,000, 100000 al A per cent and on March 15, 1918 is wholly unfounded. l wish l coulc make the patriotic newspaper men oi America realize how michievous anc hurtful to the interests of the country such speculative statements are. Wher a decision has besen reached about the next Liberty loan, it will be off cially announced. Meanwhile, all other statements and rumors may be disre' garded."

TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM
 AND THE DEALER

Manufacturers are experiencing the most serious crisis of their careers in attempting to keep dealers supplied with cars at the present time. Fac tories are clamoring and pleading for freight equipment and the railroads are taxing their facilities to the ut most td supply them, but the govern ment has decreed that only a limited number of freight cars shall be allot- ted each month to the automobile in dustry,
 Who suffers? The dealer, of course.
 Can you consistently allow your in stitution, your organization to remain idle until such time as the present freight situation is adjusted, knowing that you cannot supply the demand for passenger cars? Most certainly you cannot.
 Then your only outlet IS the motor truck. Dealers have not as yet be- gun to realize the revenue to be de rived from this source. The govern nent is going to give preference to truck shipments and naturally enough too, because the motor truck presents the only logical soluation to the pres ent transportation problem. Already ruling has gone into effect in some of the eastern states prohibiting the railroads from transporting certain commodities less than 100 miles. This causes the motor truck to become a national necessity and insures. an enormous demand for trucks, especial lv in the one and one and half ton class.
 It means that the manufacturer, the contractor, the farmer, the merchant, and in fact all commercial organiza- tions must have motor trucks, and what these business men need, they certainly will get. The automobile dealer in any part of the United States cannot go wrong in adding truck line to his present passenger car line as means of fortifying himself against the uncertainties of the freight sit uation. This is advice straight from the shoulder and is nothing short Of sure thing bet.

FEW sKITs OF BEAUTIFUL FALL

A furry of snow was observable ID the hill attitudes Wednesday evening last, especially in the region oI Stock ton Hill and the Wallapais. The weather turned very cold, in fact the coldest of the winter. Along the back bone of the high Wallapais water froze to unusual thickness and thin veil of sno wlaid along the secluded places.
 One of the remarkable things ob- served in Deluge Wash, below the Le- viathan mine, was. ocotillos in bloom, indicating an unusual degree of warmth during the winter there.

CURES FOR SORE THROAT

One teaspoonful of pulverized sul- phur and two teaspoonfuls of grant, lated sugar (tal1ing one teaspoonful once in four hours) will cure sore throat.
 Spreading a cloth with lard and sprinkling it with turpentine will also cure a sore throat or a cold in the chest.
 Burn sulphur on an old shovel or dust pan and carry it through the rooms in a house and this will prevent others from catching cold or sore throats off one who has them.
 Gargie salt and tartar for sore throat.
 Use mustard paste made of one part mustard to three or four parts flour for a cold or any form of larynx or throat or chest colds.
