The Farmer and the Thrift Campaign

Here is anther reason why Baby Bonds and Thrift stamps should be in demand as agencies for saving. The value of the investment in them is always guar anteed. The investor always, at any time get his money back with the accrued interest and that is something he cannot do in the case of any other investment under the When buys Baby bond or Thrift stamps he does not expect of course, that he will need to realize it before the maturity of the bond. He is creating savings fund. But he does not know what may happen. Sickness or some other cause may create an urgent need for money. It will always be available for him at almost any bank post office. He will get back every pennly he paid and more.
 No one class can be appealed to strongly than another to invest in these bonds and stamps, for they offer equal advantages all There is the farmer, for instance. The average farmer though independent in the possession of his farm and his means of living, did always have ready money. He was usually in debt to somebody. Now he has money, of the results of the war. and conditions promise him much more.
 The farmer should, of course, not be thankful for the war, but he should out of the abundance which it has brought him, the aid of his country which has been plunged into it.
 The farmer feels the high cost of living less than any other class of citizens for he for himself the most of the things he needs He may with regret eat butter at 50 cents pound or eggs at 50 cents dozen, chickens and beef and pork at prices but his regret is tempered by the knowledge that he can get those prices for what he left after feeding himself and his family. He is therefore paying less of the tax which is assessed against every con sumer in the land
 When he is asked to buy bonds and stamps it is not because he has not paid much of the sumers' tax, but because he has the money and can invest it with advantage to himself well as that of his country.

AN INSTRUCTIVE TALK ID SALESMEN
 BY JOHN RYDER

At a recent meeting of the Hyder Brothers employees, from both the Phoenix and Tempe stores. John Hyder in an instructive talk, said in part:
 When a customer first enters our stores he should be approached with the utmost politeness, bearing in mind that it is the customers privilege to look over our stocks with a feeling of no obligation. If he should fail to find the article asked for. it then becomes the duty of the salesman to offer sus- gestions which ofttimes results in the customers complete satisfaction.
 "A salesman of an unpleasant dispc- sition has no place behind my counters. Discourteous treatment of any GUS toner will not be tolerated whether the customer makes a purchase or not, for complaints from customers have often come to my attention, telling me of distasteful treatment which they have received at some time in the past at other stores and which treatment. believe, was without the knowledge of the employer-or of the insistencc of salesman attempting to push the sale of a substitute
 At Hyders' stores continued Mir. Hyder. "one must and will find cour- teous salesmen, not because the sales men are made to be courteous. but be- cause no other type of men, are all ! lowed in my employ. We are catering to the public who have made our busi- ness and growth possible and their wants in our line of merchandise shall be properly cared for''
 Mir. Hyder called attention to the stores policy by saying that salesmen are always fair in their dealings-th2t the best of merchandise only is offered with dollar for dollar value A money ! back guarantee accompanies every ar | ticle sold, thereby creating satisfied customers who will in turn tell their 1 friends of the Hyder service and this service is the best advertisement.
 We do not practice the 'wildfire sale policy, that is. to continually offer 1 Hirsh- Wickwire suits, Wilson Brothers haberdashery. Stetson or Mallory hat. at ridiculously low prices. Our sale- are conducted mi-annually only and from the way in which the public re- spends to the sales of ours, we are convinced of the public's faith in the Hyaer policy-we know we have their confidence. Business success after ali depends only upon service and cenfi- dence. This is no time for graft or un- founded pretense Let us be loyal to-
 ward one another-let us show the spirit of goodfellowship. Our boys are fighting our battles now-fghting for a cleaner and better America. Let ut
 fight the battle at home for better and
 more upright dealings in all things. Let us right the wrongs by learning
 the truth. Ely truth-in- -advertisins
 policy is bound to win. Let's all ce-
 operate for 9 universal truth in adyer-
 tising policy and be practicing the things thar wil, probably be male into
 bill by the next legislatur. Do your
 duty for ! greater and better America. %

STERLING CASTLE
 IS HISTORIC SITE
(By NIKSAHO

Recently the English government sent some German prisoners of war to Stirling Castle. The ancient fortress is again a prison: again the "eye of the narth" keeps watch over the nations safety. Stirling is only a few hours ride from Glasgow, but it is a. journey from the nineteenth century to the middle ages. The castle, on the right bank of the Forth, is built on the highest tip of a promontory. Close to the edge of the crag. It's position makes it all most impregnable.
 On the north and south rolling plain stretches away to the foot of the Ochil Hills, below, the Forth winds silver across the plain On the east and west the water pro- tects the fortress. The key to the highlands, the bulwark of the north, Stirling was for centuries Scotland's main defense against the invading English.
 Much history has been made on the plain at the castles foot The Ger man prisoners from the ramparts can view the scene of seven important battles. On the northwest on the top of a high hill stands a statue to Will liam Wallace. At the foot of the hill was fought the battle of Stir ling. Just inside the curve of the Forth is the Field of Cambuskenneth where in s43, the Scots defeated the Pics. Falkirk, where Wallace was defeated lies to the south. Years later on this same field Prince Charlie won one of his most important bat ties. Bannockburn, the holy ground of Scotland, lies to the south. From the castle you can see the center of the field, the Borestone, marked by a tall white flag pole.
 Mary of Scots was crowned in tht castle hall. Her son. afterward: James the Sixth, passed his baby days here. The iron bars at the windows of some of the rooms wert placed there to protect the tiny prince from kidnappers. Years afterward' he was crowned as king in tho same walls. John Knox preached tho coronation sermon.
 The old castle has borne man! names. James the Fifth called him self the Knight of Showdown, ont of the old names of the fortress. Jus below is the pass of Ballangeich
 along which this adventurous kin: passed when he went abroad incoS 1 nito as the "Guidman of Ballangeich.

Mir. Cobb and Commission

We infer from the late observations of State En- Eneer Cobb that he throbs with loyalty to America, that he resents all things Teutonic and sutocratic and that especially disapproves of the unrestricted submarine warfare which is being Waged by the com mission state institutions with the full approval of the reischstas which is always in session at the south end of the third floor of the capitol.
 Mir. Cobb was content to let the commission pursue its unlawful and live out it's illegal life long it treated him a neutral. When, however, he heard that the 'spurios verkunft" aimed at him, Mir. Cobb began mobilize his destroyers and to get out his depth bombs. of which sent down yesterday morning aimed at the very existence of the enemy.
 Whatever may happen to MT. Cobb in this warfare, he cannot be sunk without trace" He has already left ineffaceable trace in his official letter to Governor Hunt in which he gently dsapproves of the commission. and in the records of the court. What else may happen, he has conjureG up stormy period for the commission state institutions and has staged performance which, far Arizona is concerned may well, with the war, divide public attention.
 And, if everything turns MT. Cobb hopes it will the commission will be sunk without trace.

CREASE REMOVER

To remove hard greasy deposits from the engine and adjacent parts, apply solution of one-half pound of washing soda to two quarts of water. used hot, scrubbing off the offending parts with a stiff brush. When it is possible to do so, soak the parts to be cleaned in this solution, which later should be kept off the hands. as it has an irritat- ing effect on the skin.

AN OLD POET TO HIS LOVE
Nv MAXWELL BODENHEIM

 An old silver church in a forest Is my love for you The trees around it Are words that have stolen from your heart. An old silver bell the last smile you left me, Is at the top of my church. It rings only when you come through the forest And stand beside it. And then it has need for ringing, For your voice takes its place.
