P|TMAN VALLEY NEWS

Ranchers are busy these days putting in crops. Bert Johnson has his oats all planted and is now planting potatoes. George Johnson is putting in his crop now, also MT. Herr, Chestnut, Ruby, Plattens, Fix, Penninger and Morehead. They are plant ing potatoes, do not seem to worry about what they will bring in the spring.
 We are glad to welcome back Mrs. Ruby and her charming daughter Isabel, who have been spending the winter in Califor- mia. Their son Rodney, who is now in France, writes home that he is' having a fine time, the French people treat the A. merican soldiers fine.
 The Fremonts, from Salt Riv- CT Valley, have leased the Gar ashea homestead and will plant it to oats and potatoes. They will add to our school attend ance as they have five children of school age.
 School opened on April 29th, with fair attendance. Miss Brooks, of Missouri, is the tea cher. The trustees were com pelled to send out of the state for a teacher as theteacher who had been engaged to teach dis l ar aroroo1nfnd 4hn1, of fha 1o c,4 ment. We have always been in favor of giving the home teach CTS the preference but they have proven that some of them cannot be relied upon. Do not know who is to blame, the trus- tees or the teachers. We trust that Miss Brooks will make a success of the schoolf and re- main with the state.
 Forest fires have started, with a big fire east of here on Satur- day Now while we own a car it is our duty to get busy and help in these fires as the Forest Service are short of men, most of them have gone to the assist ance of the country by volun- teering their services. They are now in France, doing their share, and we should get out and do ours. Every man, wo- man and child can help in case of Forest fires, and should.
 Tho't the horse and wagon and burro were a thing of the past, but not so. Last week from 2 to 4 teams a day passed over the state highway on their way east, slow but sure.
 Red Cross Dance
 Mrs. Fred Platten and her assistants will give a dance at the School house on May 11th, for the benefit of the Red Cross. The reasons for starting so early is because others will be giving socials, etc., and we want to help them out. As this dance is for the Red Cross, and it only, we hope to have every one from Government Prairie, Spring Valley and Putnam Val ley, and all surrounding places attend. We want the little places to make a good showing in the Red Cross Drive, so do your bit and come. Refresh nents will be served by the la dies. We regret the cattlemen will be gone to the Forest.
 Mrs. Frank Leslie, Mona Dent Sadie Gibson and Myrtle Tay- Tor motored down to spend Monday at Mrs. Platten's. As Mrs. Platten was busy planting potatoes she put the visitors to work, saying they needed more physical culture exercise.
 We wonder why some folks are compelling Alien Enemies to kiss Old Glory. Why? T should not want to stain Old Glory with their foul lips. l would make them read the De- claration of Independence, and sing My Country tis of Thee and the Star Spangled Banner. If they refused I would have them shot.

THRIFT MONTH NOW Oh

To the People of Arizona:
 By virtue of the authority in me vested and in harmony with the great national movement to assist the federal government in financing the war by saving and investing in War Savings and Thrift Stamps, I hereby set apart the month beginning May 4th, and ending May 31st, as
 THRIFT PLEDGE MONTH
 Under the rules and regula- tions, no person can buy more than One Thousand Dollars worth of War Savings Stamps. These bear four per cent inter est, compounded quarterly, and are always redeemable at par.
 Arizona has been asked to purchase securities to the ann ount of $5,274,OOO during the year ending December 31st. 1918. Up to this time purchas- es amount to only $S01,131. In order to meet the request of the government and complete our quota, every man, woman and child in the state must purchase at least $2O worth of 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 government will be as sured that the money will be forthc coming. Payments can be made from time to time, as late as December 31st, 1918, but urge an immediate liberal pur- chase in order that Arizona may fittingly show her patriot ism at this crisis in our national life.
 These War Savings and Thrift Stamps are not designed solely for children and those of small means. They are for everyone for you. These stamps are liquid security for the accoma- dation of the public.
 The money derived from the sale of War Savings and Thrift. Stamps goes into the Federal federal treasurery and is used to feed, clothe and furnish guns and ammunition for the men who are fighting our battles in the trenches and on the sea. If the government does not have the money at hand when need ed and you have not loaned to the government up to your abi- lity, the day of victory will be retarded and you will have to 
 God has prospered us in a way, and for pur- pose. This is our opportunity as individuals and as a state to serve the world by furnishing the money which we have in to keep the torch of civilization burning. 1 call upon the people to as sist those in authority locally to make this campaign a success. Individually you owe it to our forces to see to it that everyone in your community purchases 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.
