SUPERER0GATION.

Speaking of war work the
people of our county fall ma
turally into two definite and
well defined classes; those
who do what they have to and
those who do all they can
the minimum bunch and the
maximum bunch. Some little
children buy more stamps
than some older persons of
affairs. and such children
have a right to thrill with
pride when they see the re-
turning soldier on the street
covered with glory. Those
in our midst who make the
smallest donation, buy the
smallest bond and buy the
smallest stamp. and though
they live here and may have
been born here they are not Of
America-they are minimum
and belong to that bunch.
You have to buy ten times as
many stamps as you did
bonds. to do your duty. be-
cause lnty are 50 MUCH Sinai
Ter. The boys made good-did
more than was asked-all they
possibly could. made a sacri-
flee like that of Jesus. You
who stayed at home sold
wheat and plows and calico at
war prices should not ask how
many stamps you have to buy
but should go and buy all you
can now Ask every one you
meet how many stamps he or :
she has. Our boys did more :
than they had to, why don't
you?
To which class do you be-
long?

FORMAL CALL SENT
 COUNCIL MEMBERS

Organization of the new state coun- cil of defense, as provided by an act of the legislature passed at the recent special session will be effected on Mon- day morning, a call to that effect hay ing been issued by Governor Hunt yes terday. The meeting will be held at the state house, beginning at II o'clock.
 As the act creating the council of defense specified Governor Hunt has named one member from each of the II counties of Arizona Each appoint ment must be confirmed by the board of supervisors of his county, however, and when ten have thus confirmed, the council is qualified to organize.
 Ten have been confirmed as follows: Stansill Greer, Apache; David Babbitt, Coconino; Mrs. Inez Lee, Graham; w. D. Claypool Gila; Dwight B. Heard, Maricopa; A. c. Cooling, Mohave; William Nagle, Navajo; D. T. McDou- gal, Pima; Homer Wood, Yavapai; i; James L. Edwards, Yuma.
 The first action of the new council after organization will be the selection of an executive secretary, to whom the council is authorized to pay a sal ary not exceeding s3,O00 a year. It is doubtful that the secretary will be chosen at the meeting on Monday.
 With the organization of the new state council of defense, the present council will cease to exist. Its office organization probably will be offered to the new council. together with it's rooms in the central school building, to which the old council recently moved.

 After a discussion of the report the commission passed resolution which ordered the improvement of Culver street between Central and Twelfth avenues and solicitation of bids to per- form the work.
 A resolution adopting the assess ment diagram for the improvement of Van Buren street between Third and Sixth avenue was also adopted by the commission.
 A Mrs. Merryman appeared before the commission to ask permission to put tar roof paper on a roof of a shed adjoining building at 124 North Sec- ond street. The permit was denied be- cause Judge Sloan, the city attorney explained to Mrs. Merryman that there was an existing building ordinance which required that only a roof of cor rugated iron could be used and that in order 10 grant her request it would be necessary to pass new ordinance.
 A communication from pr. Jose s Saenz. consul for the Republic of Cuba was read by the secretary. The letter from the consul stated that as the Re public of Cuba is in alliance with the United States in the cause of justice liberty and democracy. being closely united by bonds of gratitude with the great American nation and always ready to stand together with the na- tion in any eventuality, the consu thinks it is pitiful that it is so rare tC see the Cuban flag in all the ceremon- ies and places where the flags of the other allied nations are displayed. The consul requested the commission tC display the Cuban flag at all occasions wherever the flags of other nations arc displayed
 City Manager Thompson upon beins asked by Mayor Corpstein if there were any Cuban flags available replied that there were.

in the Fourth Section Case decided by it on June 30, 1917, which would give to the inter- mountain territory rates approximately 2S per cent less than the terminal rates.
 More familiarly known as the Long and Short Haul Case,' the Fourth Sec tion Case was the one in which the interstate commerce commission de- cided that, as there no longer was any real competition between rail and wa ter carriers, since the Panama cana. went out of business and with no imme- diate prospect of resuming. therefore rates to the terminals should not D. depressed merely because of water competition, practically all of the ships being in the government service. The interstate commerce commission, there fore, ordered the abolishment of al, violations of the Fourth Section, or the long and short haul rule. and as a result, all rates to interior points which were in excess of the terminal rates were reduced to terminal rates.
 The commission also suggested that at this conference the rates should oe adjusted to a basis that would give the interior states the benefit of zone rates similar to the adjustment east of the Mississippi river But to this sugges- tiOn the carriers failed to respond.

WOMEN OUT OF WORK
London Times.)

The industrial importance of dress making in France is emphasized by the present situation. Some one hun dred thousand Paris work women are likely to become unemployed unless something is done to meet their needs. As rule, the dressmakers count upon their season lasting until June. This year it had already ended early in May. Moreover, less trade is being done on account of the luxury tax, and the adoption of the English week end has, according to the employers, decreased their profits.
