Scrap, Scrap, Scrap for Uncle Sam!

Old Scrap Iron Rusting on

Backwards Needed in the
World Scrap With Kaiser.

Do the boys and girls Of Nissoua
want to scrap the kaiser? They can
do 1t IL they will. AND make every
lick count in the bargain.
The best way to begin the scrap
for Uncle Sam Is to collect scrap iron
and scrap steel This is a war OF
steel and iron. The men in the coal
and iron mines are doing their best.
but they need help. Every ounce of
steel and iron is needed-and every tin

should be gathered together and cast
into the great melting pots from which
must come the ships, guns, shells, bay
onets. rails, engine plows. tractors and
trucks to win the war
Millions OF tons more of steel are
needed this year then ever before and,
despite the demand and the huge ef-
forts to meet 1t. shortage is threatened.
Steel comes from two sources-pig iron
and scrap. The more scrap used the
better. Scrap iron already has been
mined and slnelted. Every pound Of it
used saves that much labor and coal
for other purposes. Every pound Of IT
left to rust Is a dead loss to Uncle Sam
and a boost for the kaiser.
Pig iron Is costly. both in money
coal and labor. and Is growing more
expensive all the time. Because of
transportation troubles. coal and coke
shortage and lack of workers. the pig
iron supply for the steel mills has been
getting shorter and shorter, One ssti-
mate is that il was 1000. 900 tons short
last year.
When the Germans started 10 collect
AN the brass and copper from the home
anu churches Of Holland they got three
times as much as the efficient econo-
mist had estimated. Some idea Of
what an important factor scrap is in
the steel industry may be gathered
from the fact that in 1916. when a total
of 4l.2sl.214 tons OF steel ingots We're
made. 9.039.3sl tons Of scrap iron and
steel were used as raw material The
steel mills Of the country in 1916 bought
1l.506.77s tons OF scrap iron and scrap
steel. Besides this amount. they used
q great deal OF scrap produced in their
own plants.
In that same year about 500.o 900 tons
OF scrap iron were exported to the al
lies. The amount of scrap used in cast
iron boundaries has been estimated as
high as 5000, 900 tons. Every pound OF
scrap iron used in the. iron boundaries
leaves that much more pig iron fol-

SPR|NCERV|LLE HAS
 DISASTROUS FIRE

ST. JOHNS, May 1.-The most disastrous fire in the history of Apache county, since the burning of Holbrook-then in Apache county more than 30 years ago, occurred at Springerville Sunday evening. It re- suited in the burning Of Becker's Trans Continental garage and the bank. The loss consisted of the teen automobiles burned in connec- tion with the garage.
 The fire started from an overflow ! ing vulcanizer which set some gaso- | line and rubber tires afire in the garage. It rapidly spread to other contents of the garage and was soon into barrels of oil and automobiles so that but one or two automobiles out of the storage garage were saved, The 1 highest priced car burned was that of John Slaughter, who recently went to war. It was a StutZ valued at $5500. Several of the other cars were high priced and the total value would reach about $16,000. There was prac- ticaliy no insurance on any Of the cars.
 ] The garage building was built about two years ago and was partly of stone and partly of adobe. Part i of the walls can be used again and | the insurance was sufficient to pay ] for the building, but the contents will 1 be a loss to MT. Becker. The hotel
 was not occupied yet and the furnish
 ing were just being brought in so that 1 it would have been opened before i June 1. The walls arc standing | straight ard can be used again. The | bank occupied a room in tho hotel and had been running but one month. The contents of the vault
 were uniniured and the institution is
 doing business in temporary quarters The insurance carried was $20,000
 and with the walls of the hotel being used again the insurance will make
 the amount of loss good. Mir. Gustav Becker announces that he will begin at once rebuilding the hotel and l garage.
 This is the fourth recent fire ir Springeryille and all of them in busi-
 ness houses. Two seem to have been incendiary but this one was purely
 accidental. The hotel was far thu
 best one in this part of Arizona, ant l contained twenty three rooms.
