CANNOT TAKE PART

The Miner has been importuned by the student body of the Northern Arizona Normal School at Flagstaff to take part in the discussion of the con trOversy between Dr. BlOme, president of that in- stitution and the board of education. At this dis tance not in position to see how and why the student body should dictate to the board, see what use the board would be to the state and the institution itself if the student body and faculty should have the power say who shall be president of the school and who the teachers should be. While it may be true that Dr. BlOme has been with the school for years it does not prove that bet ter man may not be found to replace him. We take it that the only thing that stands in the way of the outgoing president is the taint of dsloyalty to the nation. We know that of Dr. BlOme's sons is in the army and the other one secured exemption, but that neither proves disprOves his loyalty. We know of identicay the in this county, the son going to the front, but would not lay much stress on the loyalty of the father. Dr. Bome has done good work in the upbuiIdng of the school but he used little judgment in the matter of the flag n cident, no matter if he waJ right in the premises. Loyalty is not always to be presumed and we take it that the Flagstaff people were impressed with sayings of member of the doctors family prior to the entry of the United States in the

Mary had a little lamb,
 But the wOOl-grOwers say That every year a million lambs Of Mary's go astray. These little lambs that Mary has, With fleece as whitd as snow, Are torn by dogs, coyotes and wolves, The prey of every foe. And Mary's lambs are not like those Belonging to BOpeep; If left alone they'll not come home Or grow up to be sheep. So Congress has been asked to help The West to save its sheep, Including Mary's little lambs And those of Miss BOpeep. For on these little lamps depends The wool for soldiers socks, And if we would have wool enough We must conserve our flOcks.

There is about One-third much wheat in Amer ica as the Americans would normally need to last until the next harvest. It's up to the people. Shall we eat more wheat now and none later, or little everN day until harvest?
 We must not only, feed our soldiers at the front but the millions of women and children behind our Iines.-Gen John J. Pershng.
 Telling pro-German lie is the best evidence of wanting to believe it.
 Remember the wheatIess day and keep it wholly. A good citizen is known by the food he eats.
 Nothing is usual; why eat usual??
 Wheat will be one of the most important of the munitions of war until the war is ended. The eas- est way for the farmer hasten the end of the war is to hasten the increase in wheat acreage in the United States and the thing applies to all food crops.

OF TRADE MEETING
TOMORROW EVENING

The regular meeting of the Board
of Trade will be held tomorrow eve
ming, March 9Th, at 7:30 o'clock.
This meeting is of great Importance
to the city and county and should be
we'll attended. At the special meeting
called last Friday night, the president
advised the board that there was a
proposition from the state road COM
missioner to this county regarding
our Dixie Highway and should this
proposition be followed up and ac-
copied it would save the county a
great deal of money and in the mean
time give Marion county one of the
best roads in the state. 1t would also
lead to better roads in other direc-
tons through the county.
There are other things of impor-
lance that the board should look into
and every one who is interested in the
growth of the town and county GER
tainly should come out to these meet
ings and give their support. If you
can't give money, give your ideas.

NITRATE OF SODA

Marion county will receive SS.5
tons of nitrate of soda as her allot-
ment of the soda purchased by the
government and sold to the farmers
at cost. All applications made by the
farmers were allowed and filled, ex-
cepting where the application called
for an amount which necessitated the
breaking of a 200-pound sack, In
which case the allotment was cut to
where 200-pound sacks could be used.
The money has been collected and
forwarded to Washington. The total
amount forwarded was $6681.75. The
First State Bank of Mcintosh acted
as the agent of the u. S. department
of agriculture in receiving and for
warding the money. The saving to
the farmers of Marion county was
easily $4,000 on this amount of nitrate
and the increased crop production due
to its use will amount to much more.
The Mcintosh farmers were the
first to send checks for their allot-
ments, with the result that they have
received their nitrate kilograms
have been received from Washington
stating that the balance has been
shipped. The shipment was divided
into two cars, one containing 23.1
tons to Summerfeld, and one of 37.4
tons to Ocala. The nitrate was ship
ped to these points due to lack of car
space and because the farmers need
their allotments at once and a much
quicker delivery can be made in car
lots.

AS father of several very important

ONLY A SLIGHT FALLING OFF
In Sale of War Savings Stamps Last
Week Probably Owing to First
of the Month

War savings stamps during the
week ending March show slight
decrease over the previous week, but
this is due, it is believed, to the fact
that it was the last week, of the month
and that many people were not pur-
chasing. The sales through the post
offices of the state have passed con-
siderably beyond the 100000 mark,
while the sales through the banks will
perhaps reach the same amount, OF
very near as much, according to a
statement issued by the state direc-
tor.
Following are the amount of the
sales in Ocala and vicinity
Ocala, 5000 last week; total, &c.
852.35. Lakeland, $25O5; Leesburg,
$1346; Gainesville, $1345; Palatka,
$40; Williston, $82.63.

ANYTHING TO
SWAT THE KAISER

Three cents to mail letter now
But can tell you anyhow,
I'd make it four or even eight
If it would seal the kaiser's fate,
And send him whirling down to where
There's fuel plenty, and to spare.
| do not mind the movie tax
They'd laid on patriotic backs.
With purest joy each extra cent
By yours sincerely will be spent,
Since every penny goes to slug
Won Hinderburg's ungodly mug.
When income taxes loudly call,
My answers, "Come and take it all.
For poverty / do not yearn,
But you can have all / can earn,
If it will help us to erase
The nose from Herr Won Tirpitz's
face"
For eight per cent on railroad fares
What patriotic human cares
A tinker's ding, if so he knows
The extra store of shekels goes
To give the Potsdam gang the boot
And bang the crown prince on the
snoot!
TIL pay on neckties and cigars,
On taxi-cabs and trolley-cars.
I'll pay on collars, cuffs and spats;
On pugs and pink angora cats,
Golf-clubs and pancakes, if thereby
We black the lecherous Teuton's eye.
I'll put stamp on all I eat
I'll feed on sawdust stead of wheat,
And laugh with joy as shall pay
The taxes | must meet each day,
If all these extras go to spill
The Potsdamned beans of Pirate Bill.

now in the aviation service on the

an inspiration to the boys who are in
khaki, and an incentive to the boys
who are not. He writes: "Nearly
every little woman you see wears
mourning and often you see disabled
men back from the front wearing
badges of honor. Everything is very
warlike, and being young and single
like / am, had / not enlisted, now
knowing the actual conditions exist
ing, could never again hold my head
up"
