VOTERS WILL DEFEAT GRAFT EXPENSES.

The $94OOOO asked for by the board of control for
meeting war emergency expenses viii probably be defeat
ed because of the graft it contains The state council of
defense seems to be wasting money big salaries like
the $500 month paid to Dallas woman automobiles and
other extravagances This part of the appropriation
should not be passed because the work of the council at
best is of little value to the state
The state guards, which is the handpicked political
body-guard of the governor is useless organization
Just now 1t is detailed to protect the coming state fair
from possible PrusSan air raid The members are sup
posed to get $50 month, Clothes board and lodging
Money expended this organization is wasted and it is
an imposition on the taxpayers to ask them to put up for
it.
There are some items in the $4,000 budget that are
mertorous but they will probably be beaten because of
the graft represented by other items.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON CLUB

On Saturday afternoon, May 4, at 2:30 p. m., the Thursday Afternoon club will hold their May meeting in the ladies' parlor of the new St. Johns M. E. church.
 This being the last general meeting of the year the affair will be given over to the various departments.
 Promptly at 2:3O the literary de- partment will give their program. They have chosen for their subject pure foods and what the pure food laws have accomplished.
 The subject of food is uppermost in the minds of the American people at this time and although for the first time in Your history we are restricted in the use of certain foods, it is some consolation to know that we are pro- tected as never before from adulter- ated foods.
 The civic department will give their annual report. The home economies department will serve tea to the club.

RECEPTION FOR
 THE PASTORS

Last Tuesday evening was the occa-. sion for a pleasant gathering at the residence of the pastor of the local Catholic church. Its purpose was a farewell to Father Albuoy, who has been a resident of this city for the past four years, and also to bid the incoming pastor, Father Hootsman,. welcome to his new parish.
 The evening was enjoyably passed at cards and light refreshments were served.
 Father Albuoy leaves today for his new parish at Winslow and Father Hootsman enters immediately into du- ties attendant upon him.
 While Father Albuoy has almost be- come a fixture here, from every point of view, the call of duty becomes of first thought, hence we will wish him Godspeed and bid welcome to Father Hootsman, who takes up the helm.

"Why do you suppose" says Doc the Duck, "does some of our outside districts fail to get in and fill their quota for the Liberty Loan?"
 Course" says the ducby Doc, "we've some time to go yet, but you know that old boys that says Pro crastination is the thief of time,' didn't put in a life time finding this thing out for nothing; there's something to it. Delay is the way to overlook. Do it now and you don't forget to get in and who wants to be on the outside looking in?"
 Everybody wants to get a bond, ' says Doc. Some of them try to kid a fellow about this can't afford stuff, but they'll all have a bond all right when the bell rings on May 4th, and you can take it from me-" says the wise little old duckling.
 ''The people you meet in Mohave county" says Doc, 'is the kind I'll say is 100 per cent and 100 per cent means they own bond"
 Hope you're right" says the Ed, "slip us this copy little earlier next week."

AMERICAN BLOOD
 VETS TRENCHES
Have YOU Proved Loyalty By Buying Liberty Bonds
BY JOHN LElsH TAFT


 There are some tremendous lessons to be learned from the present status of the world strife
 One of the most momentous of them ! all is a lesson to America and Amer icans-a lesson to you and me-a l personal lesson which we shall do well to accept in it's fullest, personal | application. It is the lesson of IN | DIVIDUAL INTEREST in this war.
 The blood of American soldiers ia wet upon the trenches, and the base hospitals are ministering to Ameri- can wounded. The shadow of the Death Angel, made in Germany has fallen across your threshold and mine. 1t is no longer a thing de- tached and apart from us. We are in it. The blood of our sacrifice reeks upon the altar. It is now a per sonal affair.
 We-you and must back our boys in the trenches, or forever cease to claim rank and title as Americans. The time has come when there are, but two classes in this country Americans, who are for the war in
  which our boys are pouring out their blood, and traitors, who are either against the war or indifferent toward it. And indifference is now, if any thing, more despicable than antago-! nism.
 There is one thing, at least, that most of us can do to prove our aware ness of the situation and our loyalty to those who are fighting OUR battles over there; most of us can subscribe. in some degree, to the Third Liberty Loan.
 It Is totally beside the issue to. point out that these bonds are a good investment. The investment feature is not the thing in question. It may. require some sacrifice to convert pres ent holdings into holding of Liberty Loan Bonds. But as far as we can manage it, you and l, if we accept the great lesson of the hour and take our part in the baptism of American blood which is for the cleansing of the na- tiOns and the rehabilitation of the world, we must come across"-andl come quickly and with thankfuIness that 1t is given to us to do even SO little.

Complete Financial Mobilization Meaning of 3rd Liberty Loan
One in Every Six Must Subscribe-Message of
 Governor Hunt
By George w. p. Hunt, Governor
 eE Arfzona

By George w. p. Hunt, Governor
 of Arizona.
 The floating of the Third Lib erty Loan again brings to our at tentlonthe necessity for complete mobilization of our financial re- sources. The response to the first two loans in Arizona was highly gratifying and a splendid testimony to the organizations that directed the work. But those organizations, untiring as they are, cannot acieVe the fullest measure of success with out cooperation from every indi- Vldual.
 The Secretary of the Treasury believes that to make the Third Liberty Loan a complete success one in every six persons must sub scribe. This means that in Arizona our showing must be even more representative than before; there fore, to the individual of limited means-so vital to the success of these loans-I would say that In placing your expenditures at an lr- redueibIe minimum you are not only performing a patriotic duty but making an investment for your self with a security of the highest Ideals the world has ever known. We must show our belief In these ideals by subscribing to the fullest extent of our individual resources to the Third Liberty Loan.

board advises that the best yardstick
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-01-03

to measure. the cost of production of
the hog is the cost of corn. That
board further advises that the raio of
corn price to hog price on the average
over series of years has been about
twelve to one (or little less.) In the
past, when the ratio has gone lower
than twelve to one, the stock of hogs
in the country has decreased. When
it was higher than twelve, the hogs
have increased. The board has given
it's judgment that to bring the stock
of hogs back to normal under pres
ent conditions the ratio should be
about thirteen. Therefore, as to the
hogs narrowed next spring, we will
try to stabilize the price so that the
farmer can count on getting for each
100 pounds of hog ready for market,
thirteen times the average cost per
bushel of the corn fed into the hogs.

Federal Food Commission Will Assist
Hog sRaisers and Consumers in
Every Manner Possible.

Joseph P. Cotton, chief of the U. s..
Food Administration meat division.
has recently issued the following
statement relative to the prices of
hogs:
'sThe main purposes of the Food
Administration as to hogs are four:
To see that the producer at all times
can count on fair price for his hogs
so that. it will be profitable to him,
to see that the farmer increases the
number of hogs bred, to limit the pro-
fit of the packer and the middleman
and to eliminate speculation.
"All these purposes are necessary
because we must have more hogs, so
that the ultimate consumer shall at
