 TIE LIBERTY LOAN

The mems committee, under MT. c. B. Cravens, launched the third week of the Liberty Loan campaign, by giving a big rally and dance at the Miners hall last evening. Kingman sent some of her best speakers for the occasion. Mrs. Tafel and Mrs. Walker contribut- ed solo patriotic numbers. Everything was free, even the eats, which sounds extravagant these times. A splendid service was held here Liberty Sunday, at the Baptist church, to a large con- gregation. Splendid talks were made by Mrs. c. B .Cravens, Mrs. R. M. Tafel and Mrs. F. Virgin. The men had charge of the evening service.
 The women's committee is still at it, piling up the sum total in bonds each day. We are hoping to beat the men.
 Very forceful addresses were made at the Gem theater each show night last week, by the following named wo- men: Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Hardness and Mrs. Tafel, and when the men take hold after this week, just to give the women a little rest, they will cer- tainly have to brush up considerably to bring as much power and thought into their talks as did the women folk

FIBRE EXPERTS
 VISIT TIE SANDY

O. V. Waggoner and Charles H. But ters, accompanied by J. H. Smith, wis tied the Ward and Blakely ranch on the lower Sandy last Sunday week.
 These gentlemen have looked over this section with a view to the estab- lishment of a plant for the making 0f flores for it's many crodage uses. hey were much impressed with the Big Sandy and it's many possibilities, and especially with the many fields of Spanish Dagger" plants that cover the large territory for miles and miles within the view of the eye from the highway.
 It is very possible that great deal may come of the utilization of the fibre of this same plant, as at this time there is a great shortage of fibre tn the markets, owing to revolutions in the Mexican fields and the lack of transportation for the flores from the Indian fields.
 A plant of this kind will do much for Kingman and we are working to that end that we are hoping that King nan may be fortunate enough to have tt placed at this point.

 "It ain't what we have, but what we're going to have when the grand rush comes on May 4th," says Doc.
 "And while we're talking Mohave county" says Doc, "did it ever occur to you what a place that littPol county IS when it comes to climate?"
 "Climate; say, man! this country here has got that bunch O fog that sur rounds the bunch of windjamming land sharks in Southern Cal. beat down to the size of the interest on thrift stamps and that's no josh," says Doc. "Well, fellers," says Doc, "you know, Pm strong for this Mohave county boost stuff, but the Ed. says as how he giv' lot of space to Liberty Bonds, Food Conservation, and etc, he has to limit me.

STATEWIDE WAR CONFERENCE

PHOENIX, April 18.-That four na-
 tiCnal speakers will address a state
 wide war conference to be held at Phoenix, on May II, was announced
 today by the State Council of Defense.
 The plan is to hold an all-day ses- siCIl, with sectional meetings of the
 various workers in the morning ad-
 dressed by the ablest state spea kers.
 In the afternoon will be a general meeting of county representatives and speakers and all other war workers, to be addressed by Dr. Thomas F. Moran, representing the speaking division of the committee on public information at Washington, who has spoken at war conferences in the south and west with marked success, and Mir. George B. Chandler, who in addition to his speaking ability will bring to the con- ference an unusual practical expert ence in the speaking division of the or ganization. In the evening is to be a great mass meeting, open to the pub lie, and addressed by Lieutenant Paul Perigord of the French army. He has been lneeting with unparalleled sue cess wherever he has spoken and the people have clamored for his return. Dr. Sherer, a prominent educator and a member of the council of national defense, a speaker of exceptional force, will address the mass meeting.
 Arthur E. Bestor, director of the speaking division of the committee on public information, says that war con ferences have been held in twenty-two | states with the most gratifying re- suits. The experience in most states i have been a stimulation of the speak ing work in the state and general of every branch of war work, by bringing the workers to- gether to exchange ideas and to catch the contagious inspirations of their common purpose.

GRUBSTAkERS DEFEATED BI
 HIGH SCHOOL TEAM

Last Sunday a game of minor league baseball was played on the To. cal diamond between the Central Com mercial company employees and the high school team, the score being to in favor of the latter. The game was very exciting as the sides were well matched.
 "Abe" Bales, Kingman's famous twirler, was the hero of the day with his fast ones, most of the opposing batters being unable to see from which direction Abe was sending them.
 The one and only time the batters got sight of said ball was when the catcher swan out into a small pool of water, created by the rain of the day before, to rescue them.
 Chamberlain, twirler for the Grub stakers, and reputed to be protege of Walter Johnson, was also helpless be- fore the terrific onslaught of "Abie's' machine gun.
 The one redeeming feature of the c c c team, however, was one "Alec," who it seems is an understudy to Charlie Chaplin, and that he is a good one is vouched for bya Il who were for tunate enough to see him ''rig in" to "Abie." He procured Abe's goat and thereby caused much merriment for the crowd.

LEAVE FOR IDAHO

George w. Davis and Sam N. Graves departed last Thursday for Buhl, Idaho, where they have pur- chased stock ranch and will in fu- ture reside with their families. They have disposed of the greater part of their interests here, and will rejoin their families in Idaho, who have been in that state for several months pre- vious to this time.
 It is regrettable to all of the ac- quaintances of these people to see them take their residence from here, but the health of Mrs. George Davis is causing the move and it is hoped that the new climate will be of the ut most benefit.

RALLY GREAT SUCCESS

Despite the fact of a sudden storm and it's after cold, some fifteen cars went to Blackberry last Saturday eve ming to help the people of that town to rally for the benefit of the Liberty Loan.
 Blackberry, as usual, done herself proud, providing a dance and refresh ments for the entertainment of the guests after the speaking.
 Several Kingman speakers explain ed and boosted for the Liberty Bonds and many subscriptions were added to the already large list of our little city to the east.
 May we hope for more such meet ings between the two towns.

Nearly every home in the city was
tagged last night quietly but effec-
lively. We noticed that card bear
ing the word "Join" was hanging on
the door knob of houses around town.
The little reminder did not say much
in words but it's meaning was far
reaching. 1t was asking you to join
the Red Cross membership a drive
for which will be inaugurated in the
very near future. The Red Cross
wants at least dollar from you and
more if you feel like giving it, so have
your money handy when the solicitor
calls as the weather is getting colder
and travelling around is harder and
the quicker their work will be done.

GERMANY MUST PAY

IIelfferich, the most competent OF
Germany's wartime finance minis
ters, told the Import Trade associa-
tion at Berlin, six or eight weeks
ago, that if final peace fails to re-
turn to us what our enemies have
taken and destroyed; if it fails to
restore to- us freedom in our work
and in our spirit of enterprise in the
world, then the German people are
crippled for an immeasureable Pc
riod." The only hope that Helfferich
himself could hold out was that eve
have first to win" and having won,
to meet the plan OF exclusion with
a demand for the open door and free
seas, and the threat of blockade of
law materials with a demand for the
delivery CT raw materials" " The con

rently, they mark the abandonment
of the theory of 1915, that the world
will be unable to get along without
