TRAIN R|VETERS AS PERSH|NC MAKES
 READY ID DRIVE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13-A drive for a ship-riveting record in an American shipbuilding plant is like drive of the Tanks aganst ithe Hun Ines in France. Both demand intensive preparation. Pershing's commanders at the front and John Wolf. builder of ships in the Hog Island yard are using the same methods.
 That is how Wolf, the worlds cham pion general foreman ship riveter, set a new record with his gangs and drove 195,242 rivets in eight hours at the Hog Island yard on Friday, Sept. 13. Asked hcw lie and his men did it, Wolf said:
 Before the American troops over wonder make a drive on the Hun they make careful preparations days in ad- vance. l follow the same principle in getting ready for a riveting drive.
 'Riveters were as scarce as monkey wrenches in @ parlor when Uncle Sam opened the ball in the shipbuilding game. We've had to make 'em, that's all.
 Got Tho Best in the World Everyone of my forty-three gangs of riveters were as green as fresh pine only short time ago, l got 'em from the training school which has been es- tablished in the yard by the industrial relations group, of the United States Shipping Boards Emergency Fleet | Corporation.

UNCLE SAM WILL MD FARMERS WHOM
 DRAUCHT HARMED

GREAT FALLS. Mont, Oct. 1S.- Following announcement that the drought stricken farmers of Montana, North Dakota, Washington, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas would receive aid for the spring planting of their grain crops, C. l. Christine, assistant secre- tary of the treasury, who had charge of the distribution of funds tn the three northwestern states, announced that tho United States department of agri- culture intended mapping out a definite system of farm management for this section.
 Just before he left for the east MT. Christie said one of the first pieces of work to be taken up on his return was the making of a definite and working agreement with the agricultural au- thorities of the states in which fed cral funds had been or would be dis tributed. to place before the farmers a definite program which would stand for ten or even twenty years.
 Tt will aim to meet conditions such as we have experienced this year." said Mr. Christie. flor in such sections we arc bound to have repetitions of the droughts from time to time, and we must have a system that will tide the farmers over."
 Federal aid for farmers who had lost two successive crops through winter killing and drought will result in the planting of crops sufficient to yield 30.000.0 900 bushels of grain under or dinary conditions. And the money will be returned to the treasury, for in ev- cry instance the farmer executes a chattel mortgage on the expected crop securing to the government it's loan.
 But this federal aid has done even more than this. It has kept the farm OTIS on the land. sHere in the north west many farmers were discouraged and ready to sacrifice all. In fact many Of them already had gone tC work In the shipyards. leaving theii families to look after the farm imple- mcnts and what stock there was Jeff until they could be sold. Under tht changed conditions most of them re. turned and having planted their fal crops. went back to the shipyards where they will work until spring. The government aid is limited to 100 acres Any farmer who has not planted tha amount of fall grain is entitled to ait the spring planting, provided his ap- plication is approved by the represent. ative of the deartment of agriculture So far no aplications for loans hav' been granted where the farmer has nt stock or implements.

beaver whipping this raw material into shape, and I want to say right now there are no better working buddies in the world. Anytime of the day or night I'll stack my huskies against the cream of the famous Scottish yards on the Clyde.
 What is the secret of the success of my gangs? Well, it's as simple as the nose on your face. The first thing do is to put my huskies next to the big idea in the shipbuilding game. I ham mer it into their heads that every rivet they drive is equal to a stout nail into the coffin of that arch child murderer, the kaiser. In other words, 1 make their part in this war game so real that they pound rivets like the boys over there pump machine guns.
 Yanks Hit BulPseye
 ITO hit the bulls eye in a riveting drive, you've got to prepare for it like the Tanks arrange for a drive against the Huns. When General Pershing gets it into his head that he wants to give the Hun a good hard bump, he takes a few thousand Tank huskies back of the line, and puts them through stiff course of sprouts in the way ot intensive training. When the boys have completed the course they are as hard as steel nails and they can wade through anything.
 q lined things up for my drive ir much the same way. When things opened up, I had the holes all reamed and the proper tools all in place. Sc when the drive started, we had z whirlwind start, and the way wt walked away from the other gangs was good to see. According to my way oi | figuring this thing called morale i. | blamed important in any game. I don | care a rap whether it's soldering ol driving rivets, you've got to have tn, boys mentally and physically up tt snuff. I aim to keep my huskie. standing right up on their toes most o the time.

CARRIES CROSS ON
 HIS BACK FUR LIFE

PARIS. Oct. 13.-Private Jean Four nan Of New York city, hereafter will carry q cross on his back as a souvenir of the great war. The wound that has marked him is so unusual that he is known at American military hospital No. 1, where he is now convalescing, as the Red Cross Man." and doctors. nurses and patients have watched his case with unusual interest.
 Fournan is a member of one of the American regiments recently engaged in the fighting around Fishes. He has been in France since last october, and went through heavy fighting on several fronts without scratch.
 One morning a short time ago, just as his company went over the top, headed for a Boche machine gun nest, a shrapnel shell knocked him out. He had a momentary stinging sensation and then awoke to find himself on an American sanitary train from which he was taken by ambulance to the hos pital.
 When he was carried to the operat ing room, the surgeon looked him over and then called the other doctors to come and look. The boy had been hit by two pieces of shrapnel, one of which had gone down his back so close to his spine, that only miracle saved him from paralysis. The other had crossed at right angles, leaving the mark of perfect cross on his back.
 Fournan has those pieces of shrapnel in his Red Cross treasure bag. He says they're lucky pieces'' because they ''only left a scar"

!" 'ANSO|M, S|R?" |S 0LD FAMILIAR

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-There is no need to watch your step" on Broadway these gasless Sunday nights. Without the steady flow of motor vehicles that formerly kept the traffic squad as busy on the day of rest" as any other, the asphalt seems all but deserted.
 "'Ansom, sir?"
 The once-familiar salutation, all but forgotten during a generation of auto mobile supremacy, smites the ear. The cabby has come into his own again. Horses that had been denoted to con- mon equine labor have been recalled to their former places between the curved shafts. Vehicles of the sos and 9Os-two- wheeled and four wheeled have been resurrected from the dust and cobwebs of livery stables which, once week, have taken on some of their ancient activity.
 Hansoms, coupes, barouches and even few victorias, shabby genteel in faded and time-worn upholstery, rattle over the pavementS and line the curbs, to the delight of the old Knickerbockers and to the amusement of the younger throngs, who have never known the metropolis except in it's present regime of horseless locomotion.
 Between Thirty-third and Fifty ninth streets tonight traffic policemen stood listlessly at their posts. Whistles that usually signal "go" and stop were stilled. Cabbies cut corners, and no imperious hand bade them halt Pedestrians lodged diagonally across the street, and the bluecoats did not in terfere. Traffic, without the automo- bile, was not traffic in their eyes.

LIBERTY LOAN MUST
 HAVE RIGHT-OF-WAY
 OVER ALL THIS WEEK

With barely six working days re- maining before the close of the cam raign. and with Phoenix and Maricopa county still far short of their quotas, every effort must be put forth from now on to make the Fourth Liberty loan success in this community. To this end everything else is to be subor- dinsted this week, and not only those who have been formally named on committees, but all citizens generally, will lend their efforts to the achieve mcnt of the tremendous and all impor- tant task of putting the loan over here.
 Ono Of the first developments of the week Co De announced is the appoint ment Of bank bond selling committees. These will consist of three representa- tive business men stationed at every bank during banking hours. It will be their duty to approach every person who enters the bank and to sell them bonds Those who have already in- vested will be asked to make a recon sideration subscription for the largest possible amount
 Report This Morning
 These committees will report at ten o'clock this morning when the banks open for business and will be at worl; until three o'clock this afternoon. All of the bankers are-in hearty accord and cooperation with this method of securing subscriptions, and will aid these committees in every way pos sihle. Wallace Button and John Kol- berg are chairmen of the committed which has charge of this work, and which has named the committees for

the various banks.
 Another committee which has been appointed to assist in speeding up the loan this week is known as the recon sideration committee" H. A. Diehl is chairman of this committee. and has already named these who will assist in the work of calling on those who have already subscribed, and getting them ito reconsider their original subscrip- tions, adding to them as much as pos- sible.
 Must Get Maximum
 It is believed that here as elsewhere, this plan will meet with success, espe- cially in view of the fact that Phoenix and Maricopa county are far behind with subscriptions. Only by obtaining the very maximum which everybody can subscribe will it be possible for the loan to be put over the top in this community.
 Name List Delayed
 Postponement of the printing of the list of subscribers to $50 bonds was made necessary at the last minute, ow- ing to the great amount of work in compiling these lists. The names of subscribers were to have been pub lished today. They will appear tomor- row instead
 The w. D. O'Neil typewriting and multigraphing establishment has been added to the list of Phoenix firms that have gone over the top with a sub scrip of 100 per cent of the employees Every person connected with the O'Neil office has bought a bond of the Fourth loan.

MAKING NEW WORDS
 INTERESTING GAME

We're going to help thes dictionary makers With a couple of suggestions. Here are two words we have thunk up without the aid of mechanical appli- ances or paraphernalia whatever without even brains.
 sspalate-A taste for fish, for in sta, the fellow has one who loves shad so much that h> is willing to spend an hour taking bones out of his teeth just so to eat one slab of fish. Strenuist-here is now "strenuity," therefore. why not strenuist. one who strens? The strenuist is one who gets up before anyone else and starts in do- ing a lot of unnecessary things real hard just to make dust fly. He bores you to death telling you about it. so he should be separated from the common herd.
 We'd like to have some more new words. If you've coined any, pass 'em along. please. The language is in dan ger and needs help.

PHOTO PLANES ARE
 MARVELLOUS HELP

Photograph planes are used for vari- ous purposes-to locate hidden enemy batteries, to ascertain tho approximate number of men in transport to a cer- lain point, tO snap supply trains and railroads. and obtain other valuable in formation with remarkable accuracy, for things which may fool the observ- CTS eye cannot fool the camera. Often- times R photograph of some especial feature. such as a new battery operat- ing. will be under the careful scrutiny of officers within seven minutes after it is snapped from a height of 2,000 feet or more above the enemys lines. And frequently a German battery will not have been set up more than Is or lS minutes before the French have located 1t by aerial photo. calculated its position aud are proceeding to dis able it by direct hits.
 This may sounS absolutely imprac- ucal. but it is done. War makes the impossible quite possible. Here is the way it is accomplished: An observer in a photography machine sees an enemy battery open fire, or he may be sent up and across the lines to locate t after it has started business. He succeeds in getting his lens directly over tho location. snaps and speeds back to the lines. taking more photos for checking up purposes as he returns. in order that there ns>y be-no error as Co location.
 But" you say. "it takes time to de- Nclop and print these photographs"
 Yes. but they do not bother to print merely develop right there at the esca- drillc the moment the pilot lands with hts plates. As soon as the image is visible on the negative, without wait ing for it to dry or to make a positive it is inserted in powerful stereopti- con and thrown on screen. Meantime the officers are consulting a map of the approximate location as described by the observer and distances esti- mated by him. Then by comparison with the screen. the conclusion is reached that the hostile battery is in such and such square on the map so many feet south of this road, sc many feet west of that--and the artil- lcry and it's roglage planes do the rest The importance of the "eyes of the artillery" which are the airplanes. is most obvious.

Punches for &he Liberty Loan

We may as we'll send our American soldiers to Berlin in first class trains, instead of leaving them to march on foot.
 If our home army fails to put the fourth Liberty loan over,-it will be a new incentive to Germany to keep on fighting and it will be a confession in America of humiliating and disastrous failure.
 Our soldiers are winning victories with their blood and heroism. Shall we at home turn their victories into defeats?

\ NEED FUR CANDY
 EVEN IN WAR TIME

Statistics show that only per cent of our sweets are eaten in the form of sugar candy. And this in normal times, not war times. Today the food administration holds the candy manu- lecturers down to 50 per cent of their former purchases of sugar, which means that only per cent of our nor nal sweets come to us in the form of confectionery.
 Many people do not eat candy at all but every one consumes certain amount of sweets of some kind. Sugar, in some form, is absolutely necessary, especially necessary for growing chill dren.
 Take the coffee drinker and the tea thinker. One uses three or four Jumps of sugar. Another uses two. Another goes without sweets in his coffee or tea. But he eats sweets in other ways. Perhaps he consumes a certain amount of maple syrup on his not cakes. May be he happens to be a honey fjend. Possibly he is fond of sweet fruits. Or, it may be, he prefers sweet choco- late or nut candies or cocoanut bars or some other form of high food-value candy.
 No one denies that candy has a food value. It IS composed or sugar, milk, nuts. fruit and other pure ingredients, and each of these has high food value.
 The physician or chemist says cer- tain amount of sugar is needed. whether taken in the form of pure gmnulated sugar, honey, syrup or can- dy, because we need a certain amount of carbohydrates.
 Sugar really is fuel for the body. tn haS ,kr work have to- have it. The soldiers, who not only do real labor, but are ex- posed both to danger and all kinds of weather, have to have it. There is nothing the Tank or the Frenchman or the Englishman or the Italian who is fighting the Hun likes better than sweetstuff. And he prefers it in the form of candy. It is fuel for his body and he needs it in large Quantities.

He chucked off his coat. grabbed a riveting hammer and drove $50 riv- cts.

Wolf is 5S years old, seasoned shipbuilder of the old school, and fla miliar with every turn and wrinkle of the shipbuilding game in the United States. In addition to being a compe- tent shipbuilder, he is natural leader of men.
