the PORT AND THE POCKET.

We are about to withdraw silver
from the treasury vaults and ship 1t
to Asiatic countries to pay trade bal
ances. and thus conserve our gold. In
some countries we pay our trade bal
ances partly in gold, To some extent
individual citizens can help reduce
the need for exports of gold and sill
yer by retaining from the purchase
of imported articles in the nature OF
luxuries. When we save on luxury
produced in America, the gain is
largely an individual gain; when we
save on luxury produced abroad, the
saving IS national as we'll as indi-
yidual And every little helps.

ROOSEVELT IN ACTION


Col Roosevelt hit right and left in
his Boston speech sparing no one and
using terms that could not be misun-
derstood.
"The man who objects to having our
dreadful delay and inefficiency made
plain to the people in order that defect
may be remedied, stands on an exact
level with the man who objects to haV-
ing corruption and mismanagement in
bank made plain to the stockholders
in order that they may be remedied."
said the Colonel, continuing: 81 call
your attention sharply to the fact that
the newspapers which in the past have
been most violently pro-German and
anti-American are the newspapers
which take the lead in denouncing the
men who truthfully and honestly point
out our shortcomings. These news.
papers serve their own sinister pur-
poses when they thus attack those who
strive to make US efficient. Those
newspapers are acting in the interest
of Germany and against the interests
of America. 1t is to the interest of Ger.
many that we should be inefficient so
long as the present war lasts. II is TO
the interest of Germany that We
should continue to be inefficient after
this war closes.
Let our people be told the truth as
washington told the truth to the Con.
! tinentaI Congress in the days of the
Revolution, and as Abraham Lincoln
/ told the truth to and about President
! Polk in the Mexican War. Hold every
man TO the sharpest accountability
who does not tell the truth. Hold every
man to the sharpest accountability
,.who misuses the truth in order to per.
suade our people 10 weaken in their
efforts to abandon their duty. But re.
member that no honest and efficient
public officer has anything to fear
from the truth and that protest against
the telling of the truth is equivalent TO
the administration Of gilt.
Therefore, our first work is TO speed
up the war, TO back up every public
servant who does his full duty, and ii
any public servant fails TO do his duty
fearlessly to point out the failure
Let us make our public servants do
their duty and let us in our turn do
our duty Every young man OF fight
ing age and of sound body should be
doing all that is in him to get TO the
front and 10 the lighting line and If he
claims to be conscientious director,
take away his yote.)
I'VE must feel deep within our
hearts the spirit of Americanism. The
events OF the last three and hall
years have shown most wildly that no
man can be loyal 10 this nation unless
his loyalty Is absolutely and undivided.
There can be no such thing as fifty.
fifty allegiance to this country. II a
man is one-half American and one half
something else. he is not an American
at all.

Simply because you are classed as

Doesn't imply that your duties are

How can you hope for success at

slackers, like foxes. endeavor to hide,
Why are you not with the hounds
in the hunt?
Don't be a sneak when you cheer for

Cheering because you're expected
to cheer
Seeing Old Glory as simply rag
Only enlistment will prove you sim
cere.
Doing their bit, and a portion of
yours,
All OF our country's young manhood
stands up.
Red run the seas to Americas shores,
Mothers are tasting Of wars bitter
cup.
Roll up your shirt-sleeyes and double
your fist
Show that your cheering is not all
a sham
Ask any school boy the place TO enlist
Get into service with good Uncle
Sam.
Waiting for right or for wrong to col.

Giving no thought to humanity's
Thousands of you, yes, million per.

TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
 Relieved by Black-Draught.

Rossville, Ga.-Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of this place, writes: My husband is an engineer, and once while lifting, he in- iured himself with piece of heavy ma cflinery, across the abdomen He was SO sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed l65 lbs., and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet win all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink it two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered SO. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.
 l sent and bought Thedford's Black Draught. made him take a big dose, and when ii began to act he fainted, he was in such misery, but he got relief and began to mend at once. He got well, and we both feel he owes his life to Thedfcrd's Black-Draught."

YAVAPAI STILL TIE CHAMPION
 STAMP BUYER
CFrom Tuesdays DailyO

Navapai county can justly be proud of her record with regard to the sale of Thrift and War Savings Stamps, leading as she does all other coun- ties in the State of Arizona. While a great deal of the splendid showing is due to the manner in which the employees of the large mining and other corporations in the county have purchased stamps, yet so general has been the campaign that to say the honor of such an investment is with any particular place or set of people would be unfair.
 Through the Prescott postoffice, from December lst to August 2, 29950 war savings stamps have been purchased and 56,722 thrift stamps, in dollars and cents, SEA- 24SS5 in war savings stamps: $14.- lSO5O in thrift stamps or a grand total of SI2S.42Q.33.
