CONDITION OF LIVESTOCK
 AND RANGES IN ARIZONA

Showers have occurred over the greater part of the range section of Arizona and New Mexico, and in places have been remarkably heavy. improvement in both ranges and stock is reported generally, and altogether the situation is encouraging. lm- proved conditions in the immediate Gila valley are especially worthy of note.
 Crop Progress in Arizona. ..
 Crop conditions in the northern DOT ton of the state during the past week were particularly satisfactory. Cool, cloudy weather favored the filling of grain and growth of straw, the latter being especially needed. Corn and po- tatoes made good progress. Flood water from Cave Creek and Paradise valley caused a considerable amount of damage to canals and crops in that section of the Salt River valley irriga- tion system exposed to it's flow. Cot ton in the valley made little progress and farm work was delayed by heavy rain. Conditions in the Yuma valley were somewhat more favorable. Beans and grain sorghums in Cochise county made good progress.

A COMPARISON OF AMERICAN
 AND GERMAN FINANCES

Pessimistic Americans who view with alarm our increasing national ob- legations may derive great deal of comfort from comparison of the financial condition of the United States entrusted with that of Ger many.
 The total resources of the United States are estimated at about S250,- 000, ,000,000; our annual earnings are estimated at about $50,000, ,000 ,000. Our national debt, including the Third Liberty Loan, may be put around S12,- 900 100000.
 Before the war our government was spending about S1, ,00O, 100000 a year. When the war is ended, interest charges, less the interest collected from our loans to our Allies, govern ment insurance expenses, and other necessary expenditures growing out of the war, may conservatively be esti- mated at something like $1,000,000,- 900. We are confronted, therefore, when peace comes, with raising only couple of billions year revenue, a slight task for a nation of such tre- mendous wealth, capacity and re- sources.
 The resources of Germany before the war were estimated to be 0,000,- 100000. The annual expenditures then of the Imperial government were about $800,000,000. Her debt now is $50 ,000, ,000, 900, and her resources and man power have been severely inn paired. After the war she is con- fronted with additional expenditures growing out of the war totaling some $4 ,000 100000.
 The interest'o of her war debt, even if the debt grows no larger, will be about $1 ,500, 100000. Although she is nig- gardly in her pensions to private sol- diers and their families, S1 ,000, ,000, ,000 year would hardly suffice to pay even small pensions to her injured and the families of her soldiers who have been killed. Her war debt must be paid some time and sinking fund of per cent would add $1 500 ,000, ,000 to her annual taxation. Here is a total increase of $4,0GO, 100000, all due to the war.
 Of course both the United States and Germany may greatly increase their debts, but the increase will not change the relative situations.
 The German government has drained the German people of their gold, even their jewels and heirlooms, and yet the Imperial Bank of Germany now has but little over $500 ,000, ,000 of gold in it's vaults. The United States has made no special effort to obtain gold, has made no call upon the people for the precious metal, and yet today has in its treasury vaults practically S2,500, 100000 of gold coin and bull lion.
