A PROCLAMATION.
 State of Arizona, Executive Department
To the People of Arizona:

To the People of Arizona:
 By virtue of authority in me vested, and in harmony with the great national movement to assist the federal government in fnan- cing the war by saving and in- vesting in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, 1 hereby set apart the month beginning May 4th and ending May 31st as
 THRIFT PLEDGE MONTH
 Under the rules and regulations no one person can huy more than One Thousand Dollars worth of War Savings Stamps. These bear 4% interest, compounded quarter ly, and are always redeemable at par.
 Arizona has been asked to pur- chase securities to the amount of $5, 274 0O0 during the year ending December 31st, 1918. Up to this time purchases amount to only S801, 131. In order to meet the request of the government and complete our quota, every man, woman. and child in the State must purchase a least Twenty Dollars worth or these Stamps. This month, beginning May 4th and ending May 31st, is set apart so that our people may complete their pledge and that the govern ment will be assured that the money will be forthcoming. Pay ments can be made from time to time, as late as December 31st, 1918, but 1 urge an immediate lib eral purchase in order that Arizo- na may fttingly show her pa triotism at this crises in our na- tional life.
 These War Savings and Thrift Stamps are not designed solely for children and those of small means. They are for everyone for vO11. These StampS are 8 liquid security for tke accommo- dation of the public.
 The money derived from the sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps goes into the federal treasury and is used to feed, clothe, and furnish guns and am munition for the men who are fighting our battle in the trenches and on the sea. If the govern ment does not have the money at hand when needed and you have not loaned to the government up to your ability, the day of victory will be retarded and you will have to answer.
 God has prospered us in a mar vicious way and for a purpose. This is our opportunity individ- uals and as a State to serve the world by furnishing the money which we have in abundance to keep the torch of civilization burning.
 call upon all our people to as- sist those in authority locally to make this campaign a success. Individually, you owe it to our fighting forces to see to it that everyone in your community pur- chases either the limit or up to their full ability as they have been prospered.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this 1st day of May, A. D., 1918.

There was a tap at the door, and

snapped the minister, and then he
stopped, staring.
For there appeared on the
threshold the Immaculate figure.

conntenance, for sight Of which
the great minister had been long

focatingly, for with the first fig
ure was a second man with
white hair and flaming eyes and
thin, eager face =
As DelcasseS sprang to his feet,
Crochard stepped forward.

/ Delcasse had listened with
cleaning eyes, all the dreamer
within him attire at the splendid
vision which Crochard words
evolved.
"sYou are right!' he cried, and
sprang to his feet and approached
the inventor, his hands out
stretched. IN. Yard" he said,
"on behalf Of France, / accept
your proposal!"
Ward was on his feet also, and
his whole frame was shaking.
"You are sincere7" he STAN
mered, peering into Delcasse's
eyes. "You are in earnestY You.
are not deceiving me7''
Mop said Delcasse, solemnly.
II am not deceiving you. I swear
it, on my honor. France will be
proud to take her place at the head
of this great movement. And
then he stopped, and shadow
fitted across his face. "There is
but one condition." he added.
"You must prove to us that this
power really exists"
II agree to thatl" cried Ward,
eagerly. Il agree to that-yes
yes, | even wish it. Any proof, any
test-it shall be yours to choose.
And remember-the Germans were
not merciful!"
II shall remember!" said Del
casse hoarsely, his face quivering
and he caught himself away and
stood for moment at the window,
struggling for self control.
Through the square below all Paris
poured, on it's way to drive in the
Bots, careless, happy, all uncon-
scious of the crisis in its country's
history which the moment marked.
and then, by habit, Delcasse's eyes
wandered to that great statue by
Pradier, with the pile of mourning
wreaths before it. s"s
II have chosen!' he said. in a
choked voice 'SThe test shall be
made at Strasbourg!"
The inventor bowed.

fear of being disturbed
II will attend to all that
agreed Delcasse, and touched a
bell. eff General Marbeau is in
his office" he added to his secre-
tary, please say that I wish to see
him at once. =
The door had closed behind the
French chief Of wireless and the
white haired enthusiast, and for a
moment the three men who were
left behind gazed at each other in
silence.
"Do you believe In this power9o
asked Delcasse, at last.
"There was La Liberte, = Gro
chard reminded him.
True and the minister fell
silent again.

Peter Is Glad He Didn't Go

Peter Rabbit sat in his favorite bram-
b1e-tangle on the edge of the Green For
est and wondered at himself. Yes, he
dfd-wondered at himself. You see
he knew that he ought to go home
to the dear old Brier-patch. In fact,
he knew that he ought to be there
right then. But he wasn't there, and
he wasn't going there right away, and
the funny part Of 1t all was that It
was all on account Of some one else.
Peter peeped out through the bram-
bles to the spot where Mrs. Slow
Poke had buried her precious eggs.
He thought OF how he had saved them
from Uno Billy Possum, and some
how he had little glad feeling.
which is one of the most comfortable
feelings I know of. He thought Of
how he had taken 1t upon himself to
keep watch over those eggs becaus =
there was no one else to. Mrs. Slow:
Poke couldn't. The truth is the eggs
were a great deal safer with Mrs.
Slow Poke nowhere about. No. one
knew this better than she did: 1t was
on this account that she was hurrying
away as best she could.
"Of course" thought Peter, those
eggs may be perfectly safe. Very
likely they are perfectly safe I don't
know why should worry about them
they are no concern of mine, and it
really doesn't make the least bit of
difference to me whether those eggs
| hatch or are eaten by somebody. I
have saved them once, but 1 don't

the feeling Of responsibility for the
safety Of those eggs. and this Is why
he wondered at himself. You see, 1t
he ever had felt responsible for any
body but himself or his own family.
Mrs. Slow Poke moves SO slowly.
even when she hurries, that 1t takes
her a very long while to go a very
short distance. 1t seemed to Peter
that she had been gone for ages when
he h, heard q little commotion only a
Path. He peeped out. There was
Jimmy Skunk, and 1t was very plain
to see that Jimmy was very much
interested in something. AS 1t was
in that direction Mrs. Slow Poke had
gone. Peter had no doubt at all that
Jimmy had met her. He crept out
of the bramble-tangle in order that
he might see better. Sure enough.
there was Mrs. Slow Poke on her
back. with both doors of her funny
Jimmy Skunk had turned her on her
back. Now he was looking at her
with sparkle in his eyes which
Peter couldn't help but see. 1t was
quite clear that Jimmy Skunk was
Peter had been learning very fast
that morning. He understood per
fectly why. Jimmy Skunk was look
ing SO pleased. He recalled that Jim
my had bcen looking for Mrs. Slow
Poke early that morning, because he
hoped that IL he found her he would
find her eggs hidden nearby. Peter
knew just how thoroughly Jimmy
Skunk would hunt for the place where
Mrs. Slow Poke had been digging.
I'm glad" muttered Peter to him
self I'm ever so glad that I didn't
go home. 1t is lucky thing for Mrs.
Slow Poke that 1 didn't. l wonder
what brought Jimmy Skunk back this
way anyway. When 1 last saw him
he was going in quite another direc-
ton. ! guess it is a good thing

The deep shoulder yoke extends all

An all-envelcping coat is a useful gar

cling 1t makes It possible for her to
wear light colored washable dresses and
still be presentable at the journeys end.
Black satin is an excellent selection for
such garment. The theory formerly
aged or old has long since been ex-
ploded. and coats Of black satin or taf-
feta are worn by little girls as young as
three years. Some of the best dressed
authorities contend that black should
really be worn only by the young, and
that none except young, bright face
can stand the somber framing.
Black wool material as either a suit,
dress or coat fabric for q young girl is
q poor Eelection: but either black velvet
or satin Is nearly always extremely be-
coming. especially II the girl has a

satin or velvet for older women are usu-
