COPPER MINERS TO
 BE KEPT IN STATE

PHOENlX. Sept. I7.-There will be no more sending ot copper miners from Arizona to work In mines of other states. This order has come to the Federal Employment agency and so the batch of men sent 10 join the 35,- 600 working in Virginia in the big con struction camp there probably include all who will go forward from this state during the war period
 Copper is one O. the prime essen tials in the war and the government will do nothing which will in any way curtail its production. Since Arizona is the greatest copper production sec ton il is the desire of the government to keep all the copper miners in the state and not only 70 keep them here. but to keep them al work.
 Of course the federal bureau will still consider the cases Of ordinary la borers, but not those Of skilled miners.

EXPENSE ACCOUNTS
 TO BE NTEaESTiNo

PHOENiX. Sept. l7-What is the scope oi the Arizona statute limiting the expenditures. Of the various candi- dates TOT state office? This ;s the lues; ton that has cacsed more O. less concern in political circles since the primary ballot was cast,
 The law specifies tha; ID candidate shall expead more than $lb) ia behalf of his candidacy 3; the primary cleo ton. To d1 D would d.squali:y him from running in he general election. The question has been raised as to whether or no; clubs or orgaEiza lions supporting a candidate can expend more than that amount.
 Heretofore candidates have taken the loophole offered in the law which proivdes tha, an individual is not, of, fcially. candidate for office until his nomination papers are filed with the secretary of state. Consequently can. didates have conducted their cam. paign along elaborate scales without officially being candidate. awaiting un- til the last minute 10 file nominating petitions.
 But this year the soldiers bal.o, was an incentive that caused all of the Democratic candidates for governor to file their nominating petitions at an early date. that their names might be included on tAa, ballot. for 1t was ex, 1 pected that several thousand soldiers would cas, their votes at the primary.
 As a result Of the early filing Of pc. titions all candidates were officially the field for many weeks and their expense aaidav!;s must include all ex penditures from the date of hling noni mating papers
 Thousands Of dollars were expended in behalf of the three candidates whose names appeared on the ballot; f. .. Fred Golfer. Fred Surter and sidney p. Osborn. Practically all Of these eX 3endi,ures. however. were handled through clubs" or organizations supporting the various men.

MANY ARIZONA
 TOWNS INSTALL
PRICE BOARDS


 FLAGSTAFF. Sept. l7. n Thirty three out of ie principal cities and towns of Arizona have organized fair price interpreting boards in accord ance with the national program to re- iuce prices to a fair level. being wag- ed by the United States Food Admin istration
 These fair price boards are com posed of representatives of consumers wholesalers. retailers and labor organ. izations. the aim being to have all classes represented. and as fair and reasonable profits as possible be agreed upon.
 The Food Administration has an. nounced what it regards as fair profits on the principal articles Of food The price interpreting board of each com munity applies these profits to the cost of the goods 10 the wholesalers. and for the consumer from the retailer
 An esseitnal part of the program is to have these prices published by the newspapers. so that consumers may be advised as to what the food ad ministration considers fair prices.
 This very effectively cheeks prof. teerng and at the same time does away with many O. the complaints which consumers are inclined to make against retailers.
 T. is an open and above board way of interpreting prices for inc community and absolutely prevents speculation in food. One of the rules governing price interpreting is that invoice prices shall govern in applying prices and not the present market price Of the goods. Thus a wholesaler or a retailer is pre- vented from increasing his prices above a fair profit on the cost of the goods no matter what the value Of the goods may be at the time the price is made.
 The following towns have organized fair price boards under the new plan. and have sent in their initial reports: Ajo. Benson. Clifton. Chloride. Casa Grande. Cottonwood. Clarkdale. Doug las. Flagstaff. Florence. Glendale. Hol- brook. Jerome. Kingman. Mesa. Oat- man. Patagonia. Prescott. Phoenix. Ray. Springerville. Superior st Johns. Saford. Snowflake. sasco. Seligman. Tombstone, Tucson. Verde. Wilcox. Winslow and Yuma.

 These spores are very hardy and re- sist extreme heat and cold, remaining alive sometimes for many years.

HEALTH FOUND IN GARDEN
Precipitation That Results Carries
Away Noxious Elements, and
Strength and Vigor Are Certain.

To the man who woos her earnestly
nature offers a store of unexpected
gifts. Our thousands of amateur gar
deners who have put in the leisure
hours in their little garden patches
have begun to realize that one OF the
biggest rewards Of their labOrS may
not be the actual produce they will
obtain, valuable as that may be, but
in the less tangible results on their
own bodily and spiritual welfare.
There is health in the soil of Mother
Earth. The perspiratiOn that results
from your labors is carrying away nox-
ious elements from your blood.
Strength and vigor come from contact
with the soil. In this kinship to the
earth is found one reason that nearly
all of our greatest men have been
country-bred boys. It is why farmer
boys of today are stronger and more
able than youths reared in cities. Do
not be afraid if your hand acquires a
few callOuses or a brOWnish tint. A
well-tanned hand is a more fitting sub
ject for pride than a soft, white, use
less hand. You may meet with some
failures from not knowing the how and
why of things, but there is joy which
cannot fail.
The miracle of planting a seed and
seeing the growth, though a common
thing, contains joy and food for the
heart. Gardening not only brings nour-
lshment for the body and food for the
mind, but it expands the soul.-Mil-

CRUEL JOKE ON A SQUIRREL

one of these reserve stores, which a
squirrel had provided for an emergency
and, in a moment of thoughtlessness,
the man determined to play a joke on
the squirrel. He accordingly replaced
the nuts by small, round stones and
carefully concealed all evidences Of
his visit.
One cold day in winter he passed the
spot and found that the squirrel had
This he knew by the fact that ten
inches of snow had been scratched
from the top of the hole, outside OF
which the stones had been cast by the
disappointed animal.
This struck the joker with remorse.
He said: 81 never felt the folly of
practical joking so much in my life.
Fancy the poor little fellow, nipped
with cold, and scanty food, but, fore
seeing long winter, resolved to econ
omize his little hoard as much as pos
sible. Fancy him at last determined
to break this-perhaps his last-mag

the snow, fully confident that a good
meal awaited him as the reward of his
cold job, and after all finding nothing
but stones. I never felt more mean

PHOTOGRAPH Frames.

For framing a single photograph for
the wall, novel idea is to place it in
the upper part of a moderately large
mat. When the picture is in sepia, the
mat should be in tan or brown, the
frame brown or gold. When the photo
graph is gray the mat should be also,
with a gray or gold frame. A wide
gray frame sometimes takes the place
of mat.
The back board may be covered with
harmonious plain material; a wire
easel may be bought for trifie and at
tached to the back through slit made
just to fit it's clamp. The back is in
cluded in the gimp binding at the sides
and bottom the top is left open for the
insertion of the picture.

Fellow Citizens Young and Old:
That starry banner which floats

and every star. It has been borne
on many battlefield, but always
on the side of human freedom, al
ways in defense of the right Of the
people to govern themselves, and
please God-it always will be.
It is our privilege and our duty
to honor, love, and revere it, to be
loyal to it in thought, word, and
deed, now and always, and to give
our lives for it if need be, because
it represents the best and noblest
ideals of human life and govern
