GRAND AVENUE LAR
 LINE CASE |S PUT OVER TWO WEEKS

Unless the Grand Avenue street car line resumes service between the down town district and Six Points by No- vember II, the Arizona State Fair of 1918 will be seriously inconvenienced and possibly be deprived of some pat ronage.
 This was the statement made yester- day to the corporation commission by representatives of the state fair com mission when the hearing of the Phoe- nix street railway company was called for the purpose of showing the cor poration commission why the street railway company should not be de- clared in contempt for having aban- doned service on the Grand avenue line without permission of the com mission.
 Because of the absence from the city yesterday of Samuel H. Mitchell, gen. eral manager of the street railway company, and also of Louis H. Chal- mers. attorney for the company, the hearing was postponed until Saturday, September 21.
 Representatives of the state fair commission who were present at the calling of the hearing yesterday, stated that they were very greatly interested Tn the matter or reSumlnS service on the Grand avenue line and that if there was no chance of the line being placed in operation in time for the state fair, which begins on November Il. they would like to know that fact as soon as possible in order to make other ar engagements to handle the very large crowd of people that will attend the fair and must rely upon furnished transportation in getting to the fair grounds.
 Although the street railway tracks are removed from Washington street to Five Points, the rails are in place from Five Points to the fair grounds. and the state fair officials still hope that some arrangements can be made for service on that much of the line for. the days of the state fair, at least.
 With the general manager and at 1 torney for the street railway company absent from the city yesterday no hint was given concerning the prospects for renewed service on the Grand avenue line and will not be given until l the postponed hearing on September 21

ARIZONA POSITION
 NINETEENTH PLACE
 IN REJECTION LIST

Figures showing the physical re- Jections of enlisted men received at the various camps in the country from February 10 to July 13, 1918, show that the average of rejections between those dates has been 5.S3 per cent.
 Of all the states, Alabama has had the most rejections. or 17.46 per cent
 Of all the enlisted men rejected, the fewest have been from New Jersey.
 Arizona stands 18th in the list in the number of physical rejections.
 Taking the reports of last year made by Provost Marshal General Crowdcr showing the states having the highest ratio of physically qualified men with those physically examined, it is shown that many of the states having a low percentage of men physically qualified also have low percentage of men re- jected at camp.
 The exceptions to this in the first 20 states that stand lowest in the number of rejections at camp are Arizona, Cal ifornia, Iowa. Minnesota, Wyoming Oklahoma and North Dakota.
 South Dakota, which had so per cent and over of her registrants who were examined accepted by the local board, is one of the. states having the highest number of rejections at camp, and Connecticut, which had less than 50 per cent accepted by the local board is Sth in the list of those states having fewest rejeetions at camp.
 Arizona had between 15 and so per cent of her men accepted who were ex- amined by the local board.

SCHOOLS CALLED ON
 DURING WAR TIMES

Last year was a very intense school year. We had the greatest increase of pupils ever known in the history of the county. This fact, coupled with the fact that the department at Washington chose the schools as one of the great mediums through which to do war work, made the teachers duties very hard. But they are red -blooded Amer jeans and they go at it with a will. Many of them have near and dear ones fighting at the front
 The present year promises to be even more intense than last. People are coming into our valley by hundreds and our school trustees in many places fear that they cannot find seating room for them.
 Many of these people are coming from drouth- stricken districts and I doubt whether we could go through what they have and be as cheerful as they are. They have given and are giving their best blood to fight for you land me. We should give them the

Third Liberty Loan By Celia Louise crittenton

Seriously considered, with insight and understanding, the Third Liberty Loan means but one stability. The unifcation of Government and people.
 The much or little which the peo- pie place at the hands of the Govern ment, proportionate to what they nos sess, will have behind 1t not alone the voice of the people but as we'll the united will and force of the peo- pie against a war which threatens to. engulf the whole national family.
 We are being just to ourselves if we place our money where it is safe And we are living up to the dictates of our national conscience, which also is our family conscience.
 The most safe and reasonable ip- vestment possible is with our Govern ment. For the Government is but ourselves viewed through the magnt- flying glass. @--sF
 If we were born in the United States we love our birthplace. It is home. If we were allowed to adopt the United States that offered to us more than our expressing birth-coun- try; offered to us more freedom, a wider scope. then through that adop- tion we have gained a Privilege. worthy of even greater devotion and love.
 So. let us all be glad that a Third. Liberty Loan is pending. It is a good sign that we trust ourselves, that we are ready depositors in the ProtectiUe Bank Of Home.
 Keep the home fires burning" is no light slogan, lightly spoken. Only when the fire is quenched by a bomb dropped down through the home chimney, can we fully realize how precious and prized Is that cherished and cheerful fame
 We must not and shall not wait for that.
 The Third Liberty Bond awaits us and we are ready.

DO YOUR BIT

Let every fellow do his bit, And smile while he is doing it. It may be leading hopes forlorn; It may be only hoeing corn; Still he is acting like a man, In doing it the best he can. Let's all find out what Duty means, In bearing arms or planting beans; And ere we reach the Great Beyond, Let's dig down deep and buy a bond. Dig for the coins while we have got
 'em, Down deep until we scrape the bot
 tom. Let's back our boys who are facing
 hell, To serve their Uncle Samuel.

 Ezca o. us has her part to play.
 g"cYCr small it may be, and whether ue great or small ;t is of importance hat .ach shall perform her part to tie utmost Of her ability.
 Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some can influence others to buy. Perhaps some can only help by conserving the use of food and clothing and by econ. omizing in household expenditures thus liberating and augmentirg the essentials which must be sent "oveI there for the use of our army and for the destitute civilian population oi our allies.
 In whatever way each woman ol this Twelfth Federal Reserve District can help, let her do her utmost that we who are farthest from the front may sustain our part of the struggle. and keep for ourselves and our chil dren the blessings and privileges we have inherited, and thus make it DOS. sible to win like blessings for the mil lions who are now in actual bondage
 We should not only save to help but the great lesson to be learned also is to do now without non-essentials and to make sacrifices so that the labor which produces what we consider to be even essentials may be used to produce those things which are actu- : ally essential for the support and safety of those who are carrying the burden of this unprecedented struggle 1. for freedom and democracy.
 The aim of the Woman's Liberty Loan. Committee is to form an organi. | zation which shall make the woman in every home in the land realize these conditions and her responsi. ] bility, that the message shall not reach her only from one direction, but from many, so that she shall be brought to a full realization of her responsibility.

A BADGE OF HONOR

A Liberty Loan button is a badge of honor. Rightfully obtained it marks the wearer as one who has performed distinct, definite service to the country.
 Not all can fight. not all can work directly for the Government; but in buying a Liberty Loan Bond. or War Savings Stamps, every American ren- ders some service to the nation. It has been put within the reach and power of every citizen to aid the United States financially; it is a poor American who withholds support from the Government, from our soldiers and sailors fronting death on battlefelds and oceans.
 Iron crosses to German soldiers, and diamond orders exchanged be- tween Turkish and German sovereigns may be but the hOnors of atrocity. But a Liberty Loan button, simple as it is. signifies a patriotic duty done and is an insignia Of honor.

QUERIES THAT ARE
 OFTENEST ANSWERE

A War Measure-The intent and
 purpose of the Federal Explosives Act
 IS "To prevent disloyal persons from
 procuring explosives or their ingredi-
 ents and to keep explosives and ingre-
 dients out of the hands of persons
 who will not protect them carefully enough to prevent them from being stolen or used for unlawful purposes" | Manufacturers, vendors, purchas- CTS, exporters, importers, analysts and foremen are the classes of licensees. The majority of licenses issued in Ari- zona are to vendors, purchasers, ana ! lysts and foremen.
 PrOprietors of hardware, general merchandise and drug stores and con- tractors require vendors licenses in addition to which there must be a li- censed foreman who handles the ex- plosives and issues them from the magazine.
 Farmers and contractors, who use explosives, prospectOrs, mining and construction companies, require pur- chaser's licenses and also a licensed foreman unless the original purchaser acts also in the capacity of foreman, handling all the explosives, remaining on the ground to issue the powder and see that all unused portions are re- turned to the magazine. With large concerns it is obviously impossible for the original purchaser to act in the ca pacity of foreman.
 Thefts of powder are reported to the icensors, the state inspector and the director of the bureau of mines, Wash ington, D. c. Thefts of ore are moi under the jurisdiction of the inspec- tor of explosives except stolen powder be involved or used unlawfully and without license, ia which case it is to be reported to the inspector, but in any case thefts of machinery and ores should be reported to local officers.
 County clerks, clerks of boards of justices of the peace and public are usually appointed licensing officers, Arizona having about 116 such licensors.
 Besides the state inspector and li- JHe ulTecJOE DuEedu OI mines may, for the enforcement of the law, utilize all federal, state and county police, such as the U S. marshall county sheriffs, and deputies, and mu- 1icipal police officers.
 Unlawfully using, selling or pos ;essing explosives is punishable by a fine of not exceeding S5000 or by i'm lrisonment not more than one year or ,y both such fine and imprisonment.
 Following are the explosives li- ensing agents for Mohave county:

PAY THAT DEBT,
 SAYS BILL HART

William S. Hart. of moving picture fame, is one of the enthusiastic ad vocates for a general response to the Governments appeal for subscrip tions to it's Liberty Loans. Here is what Hart says:
 Every American who has accepted the great blessing that God has given. and has lived the large and free life bought by the blood of many brave and devoted men, and passed on to us a priceless heritage, has a chance now to repay.
 Tt is for him at this instant to testify to the world what he knows he owes his country.
 He should at once, and cheerfully. give a little of his goods that his country has secured to him.
 He should promptly say to the world, which is listening, and perhaps cynically criticising: When my coun- try asks me for life or for money I oheerfully offer both.'
 He should demonstrate that pa triotism is something greater and more sacred than an idle sentiment.
 And in contributing according to his means for the high purpose placed before him by his President, he should appreciate that in reality he is mak- ing no gift, but is investing in the greatest security in the world-THE PLEDGE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

Fay Kittrell was the winner of the grammar school essay and her compo- sition is given hereafter:
 THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
 Now that we are engaged in this awful war, liberty bonds must be pur- chased to buy equipment for the sol diers, such as guns, food, clothing, ma chine guns and other useful things. But all these things take money, which must come from the Third Liberty Loan.
 The man who has money and can lend and will not is traitor to his country.
 'If the American easy chair is still too comfortable for serious thought of what Germany means to do to us, then America deserves the fate in store for her"
 We fight for peace and self-re- spect. Think what will become of us, then, if our army and navy is weaken ed?
 Buy a Liberty Bond now. We are not asking you to give but to lend. Are we living in comfort? Think of the boys over there fighting for us.
 Three-fourths of this money must come from the Third Liberty Loan; the government needs it.
 Buy a Liberty Bond today!
 What kind of peace do you think Germany wants? A kind of peace that will enable her to fulfill in the next war what she did not get in this one.
 What kind of peace do the allies want? They want a peace that will last forever, after the war.
 Come now! Buy Liberty Bond.
