bOY WITH THE HUE MUST BACK UP THE
 MAN WITH THE GUN

The boys of Arizona are being mustered for the war-boys to go to the front and back them up. The latter are soldiers of the nation, but they must bear a hoe instead of a rifle and must handle potatoes, fruit, corn and cotton as an ammunition of war just as important as bul- lets. The state council of defense is backing up the boys working re- serve as something that should be appreciated at full value by the boys and by their parents.
 Several thousand now are called for to enter the fields at the close of school and to labor in the places of their brave brothers who have marched away. There is hole to be filled that the school boys must fill If they don't crops will rot and foodstuffs be ungathered that are needed by the fighting men and by the stricken millions of patriotic homes abroad.
 It is urged that parentA stand back of their sons and themselves appreciate that their boys are ac- tually helping to win the war and are contributing toward the saving of civilization The boys should understand that while they are draw ing good wages for the farm work, they really are working for the na- ton, enlisting for war. Incidentally, they will be doing great good to themselves. physically.
 Lads who worked on the farms last summer returned to school hard as nails in prime condition for football and all sports, with clearer heads for their studies and with a wider field of vision that did them good through the term and that will help them much in later years. R. J. Dagg of Yuma writes that he considers the service some thing that sustains the motto, greater efficiency" which our gov ernment is bringing about through the better training of each individual, both young and old.
 Last years experience with the boys on Arizona farms was a big success. Most of the boys are going back and every farmer for whom they worked wants them back. But the number who thus serve their country should be doubled.

issue over which the public
need worry at this time. The
time for nominating presiden-

distant. In that time many

Should the war still be on at
the time of the next election
with the issue at all in doubt
there will be likelihood of a con-
test between the forces who
support the war and the ele-
ment of disloyalty and discon-

may be, not between democrats
and republicans, but between
patriots and disloyalists; be-
tween 100 per cent American
ism and the bolsheviki forces.

first business is to wage war
and wage it with unity and all
our strength. Keep politics to
the background. If we get to

The navy has experienced difficult

the vessel. which is required by the
conventions. In the event that It is
found impossible to get a civilian
crew, the hospital markings will be
removed from the vessel and sne will
ne sent across along with Jtier
