ALL NEWSPAPERS MUST
 OBSERVE WAR REGULATIONS

The War Industries Board has in structed all newspapers as to the rigid necessity for saving print paper. These regulations necessitate a dis continuance of courtesies heretofore extended to other publishers and to advertisers, and forbid any returns of unsold papers from newsdealers. The instructions follow: ..
 "On account of the shortage of ma terials, the question of the supply of paper is becoming acute and the use of paper must be economized to the greatest possible extent.
 Tt is necessary that all newspapers which publish a daily and weekly edi- tion put the following preliminary economies into effect July 15, 1918:
 Discontinue the acceptance of the return of unsold copies.
 Discontinue the use of all sample or free promotion copies.
 Discontinue giving copies to any body except for office-working copies or where required by statute law in the case of official advertising.
 Discontinue giving free copies to advertisers, except not more than one copy each for checking purposes.
 Discontinue all free exchanges"

\ NERVOUS WRECK
From Three Years' Suffering. Says
 Cardui Made Her Well.

Texas City, Tex.-In an interesting statement, Mrs. G. H. Sciill, of this town. says: "For three years suffered untold agony with my head. was unable to do any of my work.
 1 just wanted to sleep all the time, for that was the only ease could get, when I was asleep. became a nervous wreck just from the awful suffering with my head.
 l was 30 nervous that the least noise would make me jump out of my bed. 1 had no energy, and was unable to do anything. My son, a young boy, had to do all my household duties.
 was not able to do anything until took Cardui. took three bottles In all, and t surely cured me of those awful headaches. That has been three years ago, and know the cure is permanent, for have never had any headache since taking Cardui. .. z
 Nothing relieved me until took Cardm. It did wonders for me-"

GIVE THE PUBLIC THE FACTS.

When the board of pardons and pa- roles turns man or woman out of the state prison, the public and particu- larly the residents of the county from which the prisoner was sent up, sell dom hear of the release, unless some newspaper reporter happens to stum- ble on 1t.
 On Monday there was published in the Phoenix Gazette the, story of the parole of Dr. Rosa Boide of Phoenix. The story was just thirty days old. On many occasions prisoners sent up from Pima county nave been back paradlng the streets for several weeks before the public generally was ad- vised through the press ot their par don or parole.
 These are matters which should be given full publicity. A law should be passed by the next legislature provid- Ing that when application is made by a prisoner for pardon or parole, mo- tice of the hearing should be published at least ten days in the county from which he was sent up.
 The law should also provide that when paroles are granted, 8 report of the same should be supplied the news papers at the capital and the newspa- pers in the county from which the prisoner was sent up, together with a short statement of the reason for the action.
 The pardon and parole board may have good reason for its action in these cases and may have no inten- tion of concealing anything from the public and can show its good faith by voluntarily furnishing this informa- tion to the press and through it to the public.-Tucson Citizen. ...-... .....
 In this same connection might be mentioned the pardon of Mrs. Ernie James, sent up for murderous assault for five years from Cochise county and set free by the pardon board after serving thirty days of her sentence, and this unknown even to the judge or prosecutor or jury or people of the county at large until days after she had gone free. It would seem that a board of pardons should do its work in due form and process and in the full light of publicity, like a court of law. Neither conviction or pardon should be arrived at without warning or deliberation or all the form and ceremony of law.-Bisbee Review.

CLAIMS GOLFER WILL
 WIN NOMINATION EASY

That Fred T. Colter will carry eight counties in the state primary election on September 10th and will easily land the Democratic nomination for governor, is the prediction of man well versed in political matters who has just returned from trip through the state. He is man who is talk ing no interest in the Democratic fight this year.
 The counties which Colter will carry, according to the best advices, are Apache, Navajo, Coconino, Mohave, Yavapai, Gila, Yuma and Greenlee. He will obtain his largest pluralities in Yavapai, Gila, Yuma and Green lee. Gila alone is expected to give him 1,500, Greenlee 500, Yuma SOC, and the northern counties will pile up good sized majorities for the Hunt fa- vorite. -r.
 According to men best posted in party affairs in their counties, Moeur will carry three counties, Graham, Pima and Pinal. E. w. Coker is ex- pected to turn Pinal county to him. He will get a good majority in Pima tOuiibS ID StioHS for him. Hunt will not get a cor poraPs guard for his choice in this county. .... ..-..
 Sutter will have to be content with Cochise county, where he is expected to get majority of 1000, according to the best Democratic sources.
 Sid Osborn is given Maricopa coun- ty by small majority and Santa Cruz county, according to the best prognosticators. Moeur will run sec ond in Maricopa and Colter third, al- though it will be a close race between them for second place and Osborn's lead is not by any means secure. Moeur would carry it against Colter with Osborn out or Osborn would have a good lead with Moeur out. Sutter's strength in Maricopa is disappointing and his lack of support is probably due to the fact that he is little known among the rank and file.
 Cobb, despite his flamboyant tao tics, will not carry single county.
 The following is table of the esti- mated pluralities each candidate will receive in the primary.

Our Silver Bullion.

Sixty-four million silver dollars have been melted into bullion by the United States Treasury, most of which has been exported to India. Fifty-eight million dollars of silver certificates have been withdrawn from circulation and destroyed as the silver on which they were secured was melted down. The Treasury still holds 426,000,000 silver dollars, against which $390, ,000,- 900 in silver certificaes are outstand- ing. New Federal Reserve bank notes of the denominations of $1 and $2 are being issued to replace the silver cer- tificates withdrawn.-Ex.

A Legitimate Kick,

Gas and oil is liable to ruin the Hol- brook country for ranch purposes. Gas sometimes locates the oil, but the Hol- brook News believes that too much gas will over-do the oil business. Also that holes in the ground to tap the oil will accomplish more than holes in the air to drop suckers into special promoter traps. The oil boom at Hol- brook was started on legitimate grounds. There is no doubt but what there is oil in that country; experts have investigated and have found ev- cry good indication, but actual money and drill holes in the ground will be required to prove the ground. The fool thing to do is to "prove in ad- vance all the millions of gallons of oil they have got" before the ground has been tested. A "boomer" may get away with a few dollars, but he is more apt to wreck good, legitimate propositions, much to the detriment of the whole section of the country.

THE AQUEOUS APACHE.

A dispatch from the American front describing the achievements of the Apache scouts says, "These Indians, reared along the rivers, swim like Ha- waiians, and are able to remain below the surface for long time." If the correspondent knows no more of what is happening along the Marne, the Aisne and the Ourq than he does of the habitat of the Apaches and the rivers of Arizona, it is a sin to let him cucumber the cables. There are probably no Indians in North Ameri- ca who know less about swimming, and have fewer opportunities to learn, than our fellow citizens, the Apaches.
 Except in flood time, when nobody wants to swim, there are few streams in the Apache country of Arizona and New Mexico where there is enough water to swim in. Most of the swim ming in the southwest is done in nata- toriums, reservoirs and other white man-made pools, far removed from the haunts of the Apache.
 If, as the correspondent asserts, he is capable of remaining under the sur face long time, we know how ac- quired that capability. He has learned to swim in Arizona rivers, which are said. to be up-sidesdown the greater part of the year. If the Apache swims much, he swims in the underground flow. The Apache is not waterfowl but good scout, wet or dry. -Ari- zona Opinion.

Loyal ArizOnans.

From Portland, Oregon, comes news of three Arizonans in that city from Alaska, volunteering for military service, they being c. D. Doane of Yavapai, Michael O'Brien of Gila, and B. K. Kennelworth of Coconino. All have been assigned to the Forest Re- serve Corps and will be dispatched to the timber region of Oregon. They had been in Alaska mining for two years. All stated that not until about seven months ago did they learn of their country entering the conflict, when it was too late to get out until navigation on the Yukon opened a short time ago.-Prescott Journal Miner. .....

 day.
 When Grandma" Persis Mckee, believed to be the oldest living mem Der of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormon), cele- brated her ninety-eighth birthday at Spanish Fork, Utah, the first week in July, forty of IA living descendants gathered to do her honor. Mrs. Mckee is in possession of all her faculties, is able to converse intelligently and lis tens eagerly to the reading of the cur rent news. She is particularly inter ested in Europe at the present time.
 Mrs. Mckee was with the Saints on most of their early pilgrimages and was in Nauvoo during the whole pe- riod of it's occupation by the Mormons. As a young woman Mrs. Mckee was employed by the Prophet Joseph Smith to fold the leaves of the Book of Mormon as they came off the press, and among her most cherished posses sions is an autographed copy of the book presented to her by the prophet.
 When the Saints were expelled from Nauvoo, Mrs. Mckee came to Utah. Her children numbered nine, eight of whom are living. The family has num- bered SS grandchildren, 113 great grandchildren and 115 great-great- grandchildren.
 Members of the fifth generation did not participate in the birthday anni- versary.

County Division Agitation in Mari
 copa County.

SOunty DlNlstOH aStatioh ih NAaAf
 copa County.
 County division has again come to the front in the Mesa section and a movement has been started for the creation of new county to be known as Orange county, with Mesa as the county seat.
 Efforts are being made to have the matter voted on at the general elec- tion this fall and the sentiment is very strong, and coupled with this it is understood that Mesa and Chandler can get together on the matter sat isfactorily this year, so that the out look for new county is bright,
 It is understood that it takes the vote of 70 per cent of the voters in the district to be included in the new county, in order to break away from Maricopa county. ..'... ......
 It is said that Mesa and Chandler have practically agreed to the matter of the county seat, that Mesa is to have it the first five years and then Chandler is to have the honor for awhile, the two, until the location of the county seat is settled permanent ly, to share the honors alternately.
 Tempe is to be asked to come into the new county, but on account of being so close to Phoenix it is doubt ful if she will want to pull away from Maricopa county. The western county line for Orange county will be in the neighborhood of Tempe.
 The new county is to include Lehi, Gilbert, Goodyear, Goldfield and Scottsdale, according to the present plans.
 It has been about three years since the last effort was made to form a new county, to be known as Orange. It was at that time before the state legislature and the movement was al- most a success. Years ago James Goodwin, representative from Tempe, tried to get bill through for the ere ation of a new county to be known as Butte county, with Tempe as the county seat.

He leaves a wife and son at Clarkdale, to which point the remains were taken. He was a man of excel lent reputation, was affiliated with Masons and Elks, and was about 40 years of age.

This gives Colter nearly three thous- and majority over Sutter and leaves Moeur and Osborn trying for third place. Moeur has a better chance than Osborn to pick up votes in Maricopa and force Sutter into third place. Col ter has splendid chance to increase his plurality in Mohave, where the Hunt forces are strong.
 Altogether the nomination of Col ter seems a foregone conclusion. He goes into the race with 12,000 solid Hunt votes behind him and this is a big handicap in his favor.

Seven Mexican Rioters Jailed in
 Prescott. .-.-.. ..

The preliminary hearing of the four teen Mexicans who were mixing up in the fight which led to the killing of former Sheriff Jim Lowry at Verde a week or so ago, was held in the court of Justice of the Peace C. w. Ben nett at Clarkdale on Friday afternoon, and resulted in charges being lodged against seven of the men and the re- lease of the remainder of the defend ants. The seven who were held are the following-named Vivian Enrique, Jesus Rerez, 0tilio Rosas, Basilio Duarte, Candelario Carillo, Cresensio Sepulveda and Juan Jose Manuel Gar cia. The prisoners were brought handcuffed to this city yesterday aft ernoon, Undersheriff Robinson and Constable Fitzgerald having gone to Jerome Junction and received the prisoners from Deputy Sheriff Fred Hawkins, who had brought them that far from Clarkdale.
 The prisoners are all held under bonds of $500 each, on charges of ob- structing an officer and interfering with the arrest of criminal. All of the men are accused of having sur rounded Borfiro Hernandez on the day that he shot and killed Lowry and fighting off the officers and the posse which was attempting to arrest the murderer. Most of the seven men were armed and were able to fight off the white men until the slayer had had an opportunity to escape into the adjacent hills. Hernandez, it will be remembered, was later killed by Co., conino deputy sheriff after he had re- fused to surrender to the officer Prescott Journal Miner.
 Governor Hunt visited the Pima county jail few days ago to inves- tigate the complaints of prisoners who objected to war rationing. Before he left he had his picture taken with several prisoners. '...''.'.
