SHAMELESS DAYS MAY
BE NEXT in ORDER

According to newspaper dispatches,
there is stringency in the supply
of safety razor blades, and this seems
destined to add to the horrors of war
"shaveless days." unless the male per-
suasion of Bemidii afflicted lays in a
supply for the winter.
Shortage of steel and the requisi-
tioning of one of the largest safety
razor manufacturing plants in the
country by the war department, is
another factor which adds to the
shortage in several of your fayorite
"tshives.' .

While there was good showing
Saturday of Liberty Loan subscrip-

who failed correspond to the call to
visit the polling places designated
4 and secure their allotment cards.
This will have to be done or those
who fail will he, hunted up and in
terviewed by special representatives
OF the Liberty Loan campaign. The
idea is to treat everybody with equal
fairness and there should be no hes
itancy in meeting the issue manfully,
face to face.
No Force Tolerated.
1t is not the Intention to force any
one Unable to subscribe for bond.
There IS no intent to scare any one
into purchasing a bond when they
cannot meet the obligation. Such
tactics are not tolerated. The only
object of the plan is helpfulness and
an attempt to cooperate with all in
helping them obtain bond, to help
win the war aud at the same time
act as an investment and savings ac-
count.
The work of compiling the figures
is now in order. There are many
ends as yet to be put together There

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES.

1t will be interesting to local mer-
chants all over the country to know
that the business of the great mail
order houses is fourishing and that
their profits are increasing State
ments recently issued show that the
business of one of the two great
Chicago houses last year was $179,-
100000, an increase of more than
twenty per cent. The business of the
other amounted to $77, 100000, an
increase of a little more than twenty
two per cent. The net profits of each
of these houses were in excess of ten
per cent.
And yet neither is a war baby nor
a war bride. The profits have not
come from army contracts and have
not in any way been derived directly
from the war though they have, of
course, been favorably affected by the
constant rise in the prices of things
which the people have to have.
They have been the result of con-
tinuous advertising, the constant
keeping the fact of their existence
prominently before the people-Ari-
zona Republican.

thousand feet of lumber board meas
ure, and 14,142,604 cords of fire
wood. The Flagstaff, Williams, and
other mills of northern Arizona, cut
5O,0OO,0O0 feet of lumber, worth
$75O,OO0, annually. There also are

THE REMAINS
WERE EXHUMED

A party of auto tourists, having
occasion to spend the day in town
Wednesday last, took a stroll in the
suburbs to while away the time. In
a secluded spot in the large wash
leading to the bridge, they came upon
what appeared to be a shallow, newly
made grave. That the grave was
very shallow one was plain from
the fact that there was evidence that
coyotes had been trying to get at the
remains, so the tourists reported the
matter to the local justice who in
turn informed Constable John Rob-
erts of the fact. Mr. Roberts, with
pick and shovel, went down to in
vestigate, land on arriving at the spot
found newly-made grave, sure

SCHOOLS AND THE TREASURY,

The tremendous effective national
service that the schools and school
children of the country can render
is being availed Of as fully as pos
sible by the treasury department in
it's work. In great number of
schools Liberty loan clubs have been
organized, and many bonds also have
been purchased by individual pupils.
The war-savings campaign is en-
deavOring to have a war-savings club
established in every school in the
country, and organized and individ-
ual effort is to be stimulated in every
way.
Secretary McAdoo has said that
he would like to see every school
house in the United States an open
FORUM where patriotism and loyalty
are taught, and a center OF national
service: in its community and among
it's pupils and patrons. The school
as a medium to reach the people of
the rural districts is of especial value.

A NEW KIND OF MOTOR BOAT.

A motor boat of entirely new de-
sign, remarkable for the simplicity
of it's construction and excellent
work, padded down the river from
Needles last Saturday, on a trial trip
and stopped a short time down at the
landing west of town. This boat
was built and owned by Bud Norton
of Needles, and the idea is all his
own. 1t is nothing more nor less
than a plain, ordinary river boat with
plain, ordinary Ford automobile
mounted on the rear end of the boat
The makeup for navigation is very
simple. The auto is run by it's own
power into proper position upon the
boat. There it is securely held in
position by iron clamps. On the
hind wheels is bolted or clamped a
series of blades or paddles, and that's
all there is to it. The change is
made in very short time. In nav
igating, the chauffeur or pilot takes
his seat on the automobile, turns on
the power, and steers the craft the
same as he would on land, a simple
arrangement having been provided
for this purpose. Mr.. Norton said he
made the journey in excellent time
and had no trouble whatever in rid
ing over the worst whirlpools and
rapids in the river.
