STAY-AT-HOMES NOW
HOLD OPPORTUNITY
Man Who Buys Liberty Bond 10 DO
inc His Bit"

The time is fast approaching when
all OF Us "stay-at-homes" will again
have an opportunity to serve ~
country.
Just because We are too old Dr. too
young, or have dependents. does not
mean that We cannot be soldiers and
help TO win this great fight for Ge-
mocracy and freedom.
The Third Liberty Loan. which viii
start April s. will be the greatest op-
portunity for patriotic service that has
been offered those of us who still re-
main in civil life.
The work to float Il will be great.
With the approach OF what all the
world is convinced 10 the crisis In this
war. the need OF a great showing OF
unity and strength on the part OF
America has become SO imperative
that probably the way In which this
country meets this duty will consti-
tute the deciding factor in the war.
The Third Libert. Loan is the me-
dunn through which better than In any
other way Americas heart, mind and
physical strength can be thrown into
the weight OF battle against Germany.
A huge Liberty Loan In this country
means Encouragement to Germany
any encouragement TO our allies. IL
means funds to equip. feed and train
our soldiers. 1t mean support and
comfort for III men In the trenches.
1t means money for ships. and It
means an ample reservoir Of financial
credit out OF which all things required
by the brotherhood OF nations against
autocratic militarism can be obtained
TO drive forward this year with their
maximum strength and bring the hor-
rors OF the world war to an early end.
The man who at home buys a Lib
erty Bond performs as efficient an act
Qf war as the man In khaki who pulls
q trigger n his trench In France. IL
Is all the more a home mans duty 20
perform this act. since he is not under
going b discomfort and the danger
that raises the soldiers service to the
heroism that should inspire us AT home
with a full appreciation Of the part We
must play.

LIBERTY BONDS BRING
CITIZENS REAL THRIFT
Miilions Doing Patriotic Duty Find
Themselves Financial Gainers.

Before the government began 70 Is
sue the Liberty Bonds there were less
than 100000 bondholders In the Unit
ed States. Now there are more than
$4,000. op0. Soon there will be many
more millions to learn how simple ie
IL to put $50. 800, $500. or $1,000 into
Q safe bond that will bring 4. Al or 3
per cent as regularly "a the year rolls
around. besides returning the full
amount invested at date of maturity.
There is no risk as In any other kind
OF Investment. and no taxes to pay.
An investor hat holds q MORTGAGE
on a house must bother about incur
ance. repairs. and must personally col
lect interest and principal On q LIB
erty Bond 1t is only necessary to tear
off a little coupon twice a year, which
will be cashed by any bank or trust
company.
Moreover. II money Is invested In q
mortgage on a house, whatever hap
pens. the mortgage stands for one.
two. three years. or whatever period
was originally fixed. II monsy Is put
into a Liberty Bond the principal can
be recovered any day In the year.
Therefore. when Q farmer, q me-
chanic. a doctor. a lawyer or any 9TH
or citizen buys g Liberty Bond he not
only is putting money into the one safe
investment in the world but he be-
comes a patriot Just As surely as the
soldier who shoulders q gun But he
risks nothing. while the man IN khaki
offers his life a living sacrifice upon
the altar OF freedom.

BLACKLEG FILTRATE AGENT

It will be of interest to stockmer to know that c. H. Hall, who is vel known in this vicinity, has been ap. pointed local agent for Coconino ana Navajo counties by the Lederle Anti. toxin Laboratories to handle their ia. nous Blackleg Filtrate for the vac. cination of calves.
 Scarcity of cattle and the high price of meats, these days, warrant taking extra precaution in raising calves to maturity. Uncle Sam wants us to raise them all. The conservative cat tleman will vaccinate against blackleg before he loses his first calf, as the value of the first loss would be great enough to vaccinate quite number.
 MT. Hall will open an office at Will Hams within a week and be ready to render valuable service to our na- tion in saving the lives of two animals where one has been saved before.- Adv. 1t.

KANSAS HORSE POWER

All the tractors in the state work ing ten hours each day would require sixteen months to blow the total culti- vated acreage of Kansas, but the work horses and mules of the state work ing the same number of hours each day would require only sixteen days to do the same job, asserts Dr. c. w. McCampbell, associate professor of animal husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural College.
 "This emphasizes dependence of Kansas farmers upon horses and mul- es fin attempting to produce crops sui ficient to meet the urgent and unusual demands occasioned by the war;" said Dr. McCampbell. Farmers who are short on motive power are paying the highest prices ever known for draft horses and mules. This is evidence that the draft horse and the mule are a reliable and efficient form of motive power."-Ex.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 20. Western cattle receipts decreased 10000, hogs 16,000 and sheep gained LOGO, compared with last Monday. Here with 15,000 cattle, 12,000 hogs and 12,000 sheep, there was gain of 2,400 cattle, 1900 hogs and 3,7O0 sheep. Cattle ran largely to beef steers. Trade opened slowly at steady prices, while lambs declined sharply with excessive offerings.
 Beef Cattle Ten Cents Lower.
 Increased supplies of beef steers with relatively higher prices here than elsewhere had tendency to check the sharp competition and resulted in a slow, steady to 10 cents lower market. Prime heavy natives and pulpers steady and sold up to $17.25. Mon tana hayfeds, S16.50. Idaho pulpers, $1610. Lightweights closed slow and weak. Butcher classes steady to weak. Native cows up to Si4. Arizona cows sS to SS.40. Bulls and calves aver aged steady.
 StOckers and Feeders Active and Firm
 Trade in weighty and fleshy feed CTS was active and firmer. The dis. position of packers to neglect half finished steers attracted more country buyers. Many feeders sold at SIP to s14.25 and fancy lot of 10S1 pound Herefords at $15, record high price on this market Stockers, best steady, top s13.70; plain classes slow to weak. Stock cows and heifers scarce and steady. Stock calves steady to firm. Panhandle stock calves at S12.25.
 Increased Supply of Hogs
 Local supplies of hogs increased over 1000. while western markets combined, lost 16,000, compared with last Monday. Trade opened slow, averaged 5 to 10 cents higher, light weight and butchers favored. Extreme heavy slow and steady. Top s17.75. bulk $17.30 to S17.60 against $1765 top and SIPS to s17.55 bulk last Monday. The trade in pigs was active and firmer. There was a big rush for stock hogs. the new order permitting shipment from the public yards on the same day bought. bringing flood of orders, sales at St6.50 to SIPS.
 Sheep Market Top Heavy
 With the third largest supply of the year on sale, mostly lambs, the market was top heavy and prices de- clined sharply, mostly 50-60 lower. An outsider paid s2065 and best packer bids around S20.50 for choice Colorado lambs. Shorn sold at s1690. The close was weak. Fat sheep, breeding and feeding stock scarce and practi- cally steady.

pounds by the hand-clip route. They persisted diligently and neither shirk- ed for over two weeks in picking with their fingers enough of the wool to weight over 400 pounds. The product was sacked and shipped to Phoenix consigned to the buyer at his hotel. Six days later came back a check for $76O, which caused these youthful fi- nanciers to chuckle with delight.
 They would have persisted in the wool business, but the stock of goods run out, owing to so many animals being advanced in decay too far to permit of work continuing.

MAKE MONEY PICKING WOOL
 FROM DEAD SHEEP CARCASSES

That old adage, "It's an i'll wind that blows nobody good" is applic- able to one of the most unusual incl dents along business lines which has ever been known in this section.
 Two youths of southern Yavapai became aware of a splendid oppor- tunity which suddenly arose to make some money as sheep were dying by the score west of Congress Junction. They conceived the idea of picking the wool from dead carcasses and made a bargain with a commission merchant to dispose of the fleece at 2 price of sixty cents pound. "Go ahead boys, get the goods; I'll take it all, provided you give a bill of sale," he said to conclude the deal, and away he went to Phoenix, leaving behind his hotel address. The two boys put packs on their burros and struck out. Return ing home at nine o'clock that night they had cleaned up forty-three

GOVERNMENT BADLY NEEDS
 TRAINED MEN

How many of us realize what would become of our forces in France if the organization at home for pro- ducing the material of war should fail ? Charging armies and laundering battleships are easy to visualize, but not so easy to accomplish. There can be no gooing lover the top" no para lyzing broadsides, unless, to sustain the blow, there is material in abun- dance to back up the human effort.
 Right now the civilian branches of the army and navy are in urgent need of thousands of highly trained work CTS, and before this year passes these branches must be increased by at least 10000. The ordnance department of the army needs great numbers of men who are trained as mechanical engi- neers, mechanical and other kinds of draftsmen. chemists, metallurgists and the like. Literally thousands of inspectors are also wanted for the work of passing upon the quality ot everything conceivable in the way of ordnance, ammunition, and other munitions. For office work the ord nance department wants a great many statisticians, accountants, ex- perts and assistants in business ad. ministration, and clerks trained ir special lines, such as clerks qualified in business administration, index ant catalogue clerks, and clerks qualified in statistics or accounting. The quar. termaster corps of the army is in neet of several thousand examiners and in. spectors of everything that enters in. to the personal and camp equipment oof the soldier. Passenger and freight rate clerks are also wanted in this branch. The signal corps of the army is short of aeronautical mechanical draftsmen. The navy has an unlimit. ed number of places for draftsmen ot various kinds and for a long list of technical workers. Practically all branches of the service are in need of stenographers, typists, bookkeepers statistical clerks, multigraph opera tors, and calculating machine opera tors.
 The United States civil service com mission, whose duty it is to fill these civilian positions, urges, as a patriotic duty. that qualified persons offer their services for this work, work vital to pushing the war Good salaries are offered, and the work is all in the United States. With the exception of few of the clerical positions, appli- cants will not be assembled for writ ten examinations, but will be rated upon their education, training, and ex- perience, as shown in their applica- tions, supplemented by corroborative evidence. Representatives of the civil service commission at the post office in all cities are prepared to furnish definite information and application blanks.
