DOING OUR BEST

Now is time for doing our very best
not our bit The time is here for con-
certed and concentrated action The need
is vital. Events on the west front in the
past four days have aroused the nation to
the dangers of enemies and the importance
of consunimation of our task. Every unit
of the nation, every state, every county,
every municipality, and every individual
must produce to the limit.
There are many ways in which we may
do our best. We may strip off our coats,
roll up our shirt sleeves, and hurl ourselves
into the campaign for the sale of Liberty
bonds or war stamps We may enlist our
services III the army. We may conserve
foodstuffs vital to the welfare of the
troops. We may devote our time to the
prosecution of internal enemies of the ma
ton.
Here in Bisbee each Individual can as
sist. He can find time to join in war work
programs. He can give increased applica-
ton to his business for war production
and for the welfare Of the nation He can
turn his purse inside out to lend funds to
the government, and to assist the Red
Cross and other meritorious organizations
And he4can throw himself heart and soul
into the building of greater patriotic zeal
and feryor. He can become part of the
earnest, loyal, intense patriotic spirit for
which the times call in response to battle
action on the other side
Vigorous, staunch, patriotic support of
the non-partisan ticket in the city primary
and election offers every citizen an oppor-
tunity to assist in the fostering cf this spirit
of the times. Support of the president and
authorities at Washington by even the
smallest units of the nation are a part of
the program for building up. patriotic zeal.
The non PARTISAN ticket has gone on rec
ord in support of the national administra-
ton; it is based upon demand for the high
est wartime efficiency in the community;
it is in direct opposition to those who are
enemies of this country and who have
been working insidiously to bring this
country to the state Of utter helplessness
to which they brought Russia. Il is an
issue with nationwide bearing here in
district which produces a metal for which
there is a worldwide demand
A city administration such as will be
given Bisbee by the men on the non-parti-
san ticket will represent one of the cogs in
this nation working with just that much
more efficiency and to just that much
greater benefit to the country With such
an administration the city officials will be
doing their best, and not their bit Bis
bee can do her best by seeing that the
ncn-partisan ticket is elected with such
majority that they will enter office assured
of the hearty and whole support of this
community. And every citizen can do his
or her best by registering for the city cleo
ton as non-partisan, and supporting the
non-partisan ticket

5000 Dolls In

Fairyland

Hundreds and thousands of dolls
dolls of all sizes and shapes and
coIors and all conditions-dolls worth
from 10 cents to ten dollars! On,
what a sight for the little lady of
the household who is waiting for
Santa Claus to bring her a new one
on Christmas morning.
That is what a reporter saw when,
enticed by an attractive show window
at Hight0wer's book store, he STROLL
ed upstairs Saturday morning to take
a peep at fairyIand as Mr. Hightower
has built it.
And it was a real fairyland--for all
those who still believe in good fairies
and the infallibility of Santa Claus
1t is doubted by men familiar with
this class of trade that Mr.. High
towers stock is excelled in size and
quality by any merchant in Georgia,
not excluding the largest stores OF
Atlanta. He has made a specially
Of toys each year, and this year is
no exception
And he has not had to rely upon
the once familiar German products
to fill his shelves, practically every
thing having been produced either
in America or Japan. The doll dis
play contains between 5000 and 5000
dolls of all sizes. Nearby is large
supply of soldier and Indian suits for
the boys. Then there are doll beds,
in large variety, and especially fine
line of doll carriages, doll furnitur :,
toy dishes, and games of all descript-
ions
Too, there are electric trains, autos,
tricycles and express wagons, drums
and, most wonderful of all, rapid fire
guns and almost like the soldiers
use in France-guns that shoot wood
en- bullents off tape as fast as one
can turn the crank!
On the first floor Mr.. Hightower has
a Christmas stock for grownups.
There are ivory sets, serving trays,
fountain pens, stationedy, pictures,
and hundreds of little articles suit
able for gifts.
Mr. Hightowers store is a real
fairyland for the children. And
maybe some of the grownups could
forget their work-a-d ay-worId trouble
for awhile by visit among the
wonders shown there.

WAR STAMPS FOR NEXT
YEAR WILL BE IN BLUE

ATLANTA, Nov. 23-The conclusion
of peace will in no wise interfere
with the sale of War Savings Stamps,
according to the official announce
ment which has been received by Hugh
Richardson, director for Georgia
In his communication 10 state work
crc Director Richardson is emphasiz-
ing this fact, and planning for an in
tenaive campaign for the redemption
u pledges already signed. Thous-
ands OF Georgians have pledged them
selres to purchase stipulated amounts
Of stamps during 1918, and the time
for the redemption of these pledges is
getting very short. Many have full
filed their word already, but large
number Of people have not.
The fact that it will not be long
before the victorious soldiers are re-
turning home should spur every per-
son to a greater effort to fulfill theI'
pledges made at the time when the
toys were fighting CALAMITY for those
remaining at home. says Mr. Richard
sou.
OF E1uch interest is the announce
ment that after January l all stamps
issued will be blue instead of green,

stated, and good progress has been

work is to be followed out in this
country with greater thoroughness.
Both abroad and here technical train
ing in all lines capable of adoption
to the physical limitations of dis
abled men, and in which employment
will act as the therapeutic agent, will
be emphasized. When play and work
will help a disabled man to get well
that kind of medicine will be pre-
scribed If the work he does leads to
further service in the army, or, to
better prospects in civil life, so much
the better"
Young cited a number of cases Of
disabled soldiers to illustrate how
splendidly the Surgeon Generals
Office is looking after the American
boys returning home, manned,
"gassed," or otherwise injured or ILL.,
There was one which was described
as mot exceptional" 1t was that of
Il young man of rs years, who, born
in Russia, landed at Ellis Island only
five years ago, unable y read or
write even his native language. He
worked as polisher and grinder in
a shop at New Britain, Conn. He
enlisted in the 9Th United States reg
uIar infantry and went overseas,
where he lost his right arm.
Invalided back to the country of his
adoption, he was enrolled with the
first class in academic work at the
Walter Reed Hospital AT first the
task Of learning how to read and write
the English language proved extreme
ly difficult for him. 70 add to his
difficulty, he had to learn to write
with his left hand. His progress
WAS slow, but his interest was main
tanned by carefully selected LESSONS
in which he saw himself daily i'm
proving. Gradually his progress be-
came exceptional until he secured
good training in elementary spelling
and arithmetic and he returns to soci-
ETY. literate and confident, instead of
illiterate and distrustful.

u. S. Wheat Reserves
Reach Lowest Point
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE bread
requirements of the army and the
Allies will reach to the very bottom of
the American flour barrel before the
new wheat harvest becomes available,
officials of the food administration ad-
lnitted to-day. Reserve stocks of wheat.
it was stated, are already down to the
lowest point in history, though there
are still ample supplies of other sub
stitute bread cereals. Unabated saving
of wheat flour in this country for the
next two months Will be essential, it
was stated, to meet the requirements
for overseas shipments.
In the larger shipping centres of the
country there is now stored a reserve
of approximately $4,000 barrels of -four
Tor emergency uses. This reserve, It is
stated, should not be required at all
for civilian consumption. 1t will be
l>eld to insure steady flow of bread
stutfs to the army and to- the Allied
countries in the event that there should
b" any temporary stoppage in wheat
movements from the interio: terminal
cities to the seaboard.
The relatively small margin of wl1. at
So fety under which the food admin
istration is now compelled TO operate
1t IS pointed out, emphasizes tho re-
ces&!ty for building up adequate 1e-
serves of wheat both in the United
States and abroad out of the next kar-
vest. This will mean, it is stated
that many of the conservation r.eas-
ures now in operation must be main
tained for the period of the war.
