BUILD 4 HOME AND
 TAKE PART IN ERA
 IF ECONOMY HERE

America is entering upon a new era in her history-an era of saving and economy. Heretofore we have wasted and rioted-conserving neither our natural resources, products. or manu- factured articles. Come easy-go easy" has been our policy. We have been spendthrifts and wasters.
 But the day f wasting and need less spending is passed and in its stead We find economical buying, saving and thrift. Thrift to the average American has been unknown virtue; those in the past who have practiced thrift have often bees subjected to both ridicuIe and scorn, but today finds their ef- forts ampl rewarded.
 Unless this thrift movement now sweeping over our land is. rightly grounded. it will prove a boomerang like many other good reforms which have failed because of unstable fouu- dation. To save and eConomZe most people must have an objective in sight on which to base their desires. Few Americans save money fOrf the love fsaving: they save only for the pur- pose of ultimately spending it.
 Build a home-that is an objective which will prove a wise investment of your savings It will be astart toward a neconomical policy. Building a home will give employment to work . men and artisans, thus keeping money in circulation. Being economical does not mea nbeing miserly-for the pros perity of our country is dependent upon keeping money circulated in the right channels.
 Wise business management and the saving habit is readily acquired dur ing the life of the payments which have to be met; one is naturally fru- gal and thrifty when paying for a home.
 The saving habit and the art of be- ing thrifty are two virtues which | must be adopted by American people we know of no better teacher than home building. It will prove a benefit to both your family and the commit nifty. Helping to inspire confidence in our city.
 | Build a home today-begin the prac- i tice of economy.

.FARMERSNOWC GAN GET' TRUCKS FUR HAULING.
 WITHOUT PAYING CASH.

The announcement of McArthur Brothers that they would accept cot ton as payment for used cars has re- suited in many ranchers obtaining cars and trucks that will greatly aid them in the marketing of their crops.
 Not only will they accept unginned or baled cotton. but maize, hay and other farm products are as good as cash with them, said Warren McAr- thur inspeaking of their plan. Satis- factory mortgages on farm products are also included. so that there is no reason why farmer should not have truck that will save time and make his work more efficient.
 The time is here when transporta- ton for the farmer is a vital question: in fact a motor car or truck is nee essary for him to keep step with the demand.
 We have placed every used car and truck that we own for sale at the cash price and will accept farm products 1 in exchange" said MT McArthur. "On Saturday we paid r. cents for seed cotton and 90 cents for lint cotton, and every day during our car for cotton sale we will pay the highest market price for the farm product"

 Small social groups of mingling mem bers, guests and strangers, which had quite gone out of fashion for a while while hearts were saddened by the war, have regained their popularity, and now there are several such in the reading rooms each day.

WAR GARDEN RULLETlNS-Some war garden bulletins, by Prof. J J. Thornber of the Arizona College of Agriculture, have been received by the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce and will be distributed to anyone in terested as long as they last. This bulletin takes up the different vege- tables that may be planted in southern Arizona, showing how to prepare the ground, plant the seed, irrigate and cultivate. It will be found to be one of the most popular bulletins pub lished by the Arizona College of Agri- culture. Although called a War Gar den" Bulletin it will prove equally valuable in peace, and the necessity for the home garden has by no means ended with the war
