Z The Bureau OF Supplies business is
handled in exactly the same way that
any large dry goods business would
be handled, and since its establish
ment some six months ago has be-
come cone of the large dry goods bus
inesses of the Southwest. Chapters
find it convenient to purchase from the
Bureau of Supplies owing to the fact
that prices are attractive, and that all
materials sold are Red Cross stand
ards, the materials being the proper
weight and texture.
Through the patriotic spirit and CO
operation of local dealers. many Chap
tiers are enabled to buy the materials
they need, more especially those for
hospital garments and patients cloth
ing, through their local merchants,
who sell to them at special Red Cross
prices.
Chapters are showing that they
have great understanding OF bust
ness methods, as they have learned
that owing to the scarcity of materials,
due TO war causes, and owing to the
great congestion OF the railroads, it
takes q longer time than usual for
Shipments 10 reach points. and for this
reason they have put business methods
into use and have learned that they
must anticipate their needs in order
to receive materials at the time they
should be put into work.

scale have never been heard of before in the history of the world. The esti- mates and appropriations for the pres ent fiscal year total about s11 900, 900, GOO. Adding to them the estimates for the coming fiscal year and we have a total of nearly s25,000, 100000 the cost of the War to the United States for two years. This is more than any of the nations of Europe have expended in three and a half years, Great Britain, with a total of about s22, ,00o, OOO. 900, coming next to us in the aggregate of outlay. The cost of the war to the other belhgerents for the period named is estimated as follows, in round figures; France, s15,000 GOO, 900: Russia, s12,000. 100000; Germany, s20,- 100000 900; Austria, sS.0O0 000, 900.
 Perhaps a clearer idea Of the gigan- tic financial burden that we are as suming in this war may be gained by comparisons of a different nature. Our commitments for two years of war, as has been stated. amount to very near ly s25, 900, 100000. The total cost of the Civil war, which has always been re garded as entailing an enormous eX- penditure and which lasted over four years, was a. little less than s4,00O, 00O,- = 900, or about one-eishth of what the

RENTING BATTERIES

Permanently reviving a dry battery after it has become exhausted, is inn possible, but it is possible to revive it temporarily and a knowledge of the method of doing this may sometimes prove extremely useful. Make solu- tion of four ounces of salammniac, add ed to a quart of warm water, with half ounce of permanganate of patash Next bore holes about an eighth of an inch in diameter all over the zinc cas- ing of the cell and soak the battery in the solution for three or four days The output will show a marked in crease which will continue for some little time. Even better results may be obtained by charging the battery for a few hours, just as if it were a storage battery at current rate of one am pere through lamp. The positive of he charging element should be con- nected with the carbon element of the battery.

present war will cost us if it lasts twa years. Standard financial reference books give the total government eXpen- ditures for all purposes. from the timS the government was established in 17Si down to 1910, inclusive. and including the cost of the War of 1872. the Mex ican war the Civil war and the Spanisk war, as S22, ,000. 100000 or nearly s. 900, ,000,0 coo less than we are planning to spend in two years.
 The resources of the United Statei are sufficient to justify these enor. nous expenditures, and the country can stand the strain without disaster The people willingly raise the money too but with an important proviso. and that is that the money be expended ju. diciously and the war vigorously pros. ecuted. Those who have kept the clos est watch on events in Europe, and arl in the best position to judge of the mil. itary situation, say that 1918 will brini the war to a decison, provided thI United States plays an aggressive par in the operations against Germany. w can contemplate estimates of expendi. lures totalling S13,00O, 900 900 without disquiet, therefore. if the money thuf represented is expended where iti weight will count the most.

The hazards often are very real and the course leads over Castle Creek with it's wide sand beds and running water, over rocky sloping hillsides, from cliffs to large flats with well made greens, up over l "Gibraltar,' steep bluffs 50 feet high 1 and on to the long grassy last course to the ninth hole.

 What is expected of them is Set out in the following outline of "Maricopa County School War Savings and Thrift Activity"
 l. The War Savings and Thrift ac- tivities in Maricopa county will be carried on through the year 1918 under the auspices of the Maricopa County School Teachers association.
 ?. The principal of each school shall personally, or through an appointed representative. report to the president of the association, at the close of each week, on forms which will be supplied by the president of the association.
 3. Special attention is called to the last item, under which shall be given notes concerning the methods used in each class. Teachers will in many instances employ original methods to keep the pupils enthusiastic and work ing to earn and save for the purchase of war savings stamps.
 4. On the school bulletin board there shall be posted each week a copy of the reports above referred to. there by exciting the interest of the pupils to maintain creditable showing with out inaugurating any harmful effects of too keen competition. ,. A meeting of the teachers of each | school shall be called once a week by the principal to make plans for the War savings activity in the school dur ing the coming week
 6. The president will issue a month- ly bulletin to each principal, setting forth plans for war savings activity, which have proven efficacious in other schools, giving mention in each in- stance to the school teacher who in- augurated the plan.
 '. The teachers of each school will provide the means of financing the purchase of the first supply of stamps This can be done by the action of the teachers themselves in leaning the necessary small funds, or by securing such loan from some patriotic indi- vidual of the vicinity, or through the Parent Teachers association. This loan is but a small patriotic privilege and will undoubtedly be readily secured.
 | s. The aims of the government are two-fold and are to be brought home through this activity. First. Encourage thrift-save tht | nations resources and wealth
 Second. Encourage industry - savt the nations man power
 The index of our results shall be thu volume of thrift stamps sold 2. To illustrate the character of tn, school activity desired, we mention tn. | following:

 FUR UNCLE SAM

Parker of the Southwest Cotton company, pr. Ray C. Harker. G. H. Bruce and MT. Cullen. who is here in the interest of the food admin istration.
 There was a very large attendance at the meeting, though not nearly all of the teachers of the county were there in response to the following re- quest by Superintendent Fulton: ITO the Teachers of Maricopa County
 "A very important responsibility rests upon the teachers of this county in assisting our government to pro- mote the campaign laid out to encour- age thrifty habits in every home in America. and the correlative sale Of thrift stamps The school is to be used as one of the most effective means of reaching the home. The opportunity is therefore here for you as teacher in Maricopa county to do your bit in supporting our country in its hour of need.
 "A meeting of all teachers in Mari copa county is called for Saturday, February }. at 10: 30 a. m., in the Phoe nix high school, at which time an or ganization will be perfected to carry on this patriotic work effectively for the full year.
 Every school principal and as many Of the teachers as possible should be present at this meeting. l urge you to make the necessary personal sacri- flee to be present, and help to initiate this very important work.
 When your country calls-answer. "A. H. FULTON,
 County Superintendent of Schools" 1"
 It is assured, though, that all of the l teachers will enter upon the work and to facilitate it the following form blank was presented and adopted for making their weekly reports to the head of the association. And by the way, one ac- l tion of the meeting yesterday was to suspend the constitution and bylaws | of the teachers association and de- clare all teachers in the county mem- berS of it.
