DOUBLE EFFECT OF ECONOMY

When an American citizen, in stead of spending his dollars for something he wants, denies him. self and lends the money to the government by tue purchase oi War Savings Stamps he per forms a double service.
 First, he furnishes the gov ernment with money to use in the prosecution of the war
 Second. he has relieved the drain on our goods and ser vices;" that is, materials and labor. To make the article or articles he would have bought, or to manufacture others to take their place in the market, would require materials and labor. In addition, to get the article to him labor and freight space would be required. By doing without the article, he has left free a certain amount of mate rial to be used for war purposes, certain amount of labor to be used in the same way, and he has also relieved to certain ex- tent the tranSporta ton facilities of the country.
 This may not be much in the individual case, but when hun-. dredS of thousands and millions of Americans pursue thIs course it means millions and millions of dollars loaned the government, tremendous quantities of mate rials left for use of the nation
  labor free to do war work, and vast amount of freight space free for national uses.
 These sacrifices are easy to make; are small and trivial com pared tc the sacrifices that our soldiers and sailors make daily while they offer constantly their lives for their country, the greatest sacrifice of all. Buy War Savings Stamps!

 Hundreds of thousands of our men have been called to arms and taken away from the pro- ductive forces of the country.

YAVAPAI COURT HOUSE.

The Yavapai county new court house is about the last word in fine public buildings. Made of native granite, quarried from nearby mountain like deposits of same, it is a home enterprise to be proud of and one which brings spontaneous admiling comments from all visitors. It will, in all proba bility be a thing of beauty thousand years from uow, as it is almost as solid as the pyramids of Egypt and a blamed sight more useful, as the Pyramids were built for the safe keeping of mum mics, the under takers trust of Egypt having made the people believe that when the body was destroyed the spirit died a most horrible death. Hence. large sums were expended to make remains in- deStructible and to safeguard them in great stone tombs. There will be no mummieS in the ne&court house unless the people vote them there, and as we have a safe democratic ma- jority in this county, the rem nants of the remains may be kept out.-COurier.

HARDSHElL MINE.

The Hardshell mine, at Har- shaw, is likely soon to be one of the big producers of this dis trict. The present manager, MT. H. K. Welsh, an expert mining engineer, according to report, is arranging for the work of re- tim mbering the old shaft so the work of getting out ore will go ahead while churn drilling on this immense property is going on to locate other bodies of ore believed to be there in quantity. The churn drilling is a cheaper method of prospecting than dig ging, and the proper place to sink new shaft can be deter mined by this method.
 Patagonia is to be ccngratu- lated on having the wealth of the Daly estate back of the Hardshell, and no expense will be spared to prove up this big and valuable property.
 Col. R. R. Richardson, owner of the property, worked it for many years, but for some time the property has been idle.-Pa- tagonian.

Will You Be Ready For Inspection.

The boys at the front now are occupying trenches. Some are in the first line trenches, dis patches tell us.
 You at home are in the back line trench.
 The fellows in the front line trenches must stand inspection regularly.
 You in the back line trench, too, must stand inspection. Will you be ready?
 Remember, those brave lads across the sea are depending upon you to stand by them. Everything they have came from the fighters in the back line trench-the big trench right here in America.
 Perhaps you don't realize the great responsibility resting with you. It is just as great as that shouldered by the brave fellows across the sea.
 Be a real soldier in the back line trench, so you can stand in- pection.
 Be a good soldier in the home trench-Buy Liberty Bonds. The wars success or failure, so far as Uncle Sam is concern ed, depends on what you do or don't do.
 Save food, help the Red Cross, buy Liberty Bonds.
 Just look yourself over. Take an inventory of your bank ac count. Gaze over your record and see if you've done your duty as a back trench soldier since Uncle Sam entered the war.
 If you can afford to buy Lib erty Bonds, and don't, then you are aiding the Kaiser.
 Are you that kind of back trench fighter?

ONE HUNDRED PER CENT

The papers of the state are taking a crack at every man 1n their respective communities who fail to check up to one hun dred per cent Americanism. While politics may enter into the matter to some extent, we feel that no matter what the political complexion of the man may be that his first duty is to the government. Our govern ment needs the support of every man and every party and if you are not 100 per cent you sure are against us. It is the duty of a newspaper to smoke out the disloyal people and we hope that the good work will be con- tinued No half-hearted busi- ness should be countenauced when it comes to lining up the American-Miner.
