 Government departments are run- ming smoothly, and the great machin- cry of war is at last forging ahead.

 The kaiser's boast to Mr. Gerard, that he had 5O0,000 German reserv- ists in this country, and ready to take up arms at his word of command, has the ring of huge joke. If they are here, they at least know how to pre- serve whole skins.
 We have hit our stride at last, and now let's keep it up till complete vic tory is ours. Kaiserdom, with it's at tendant train of evils, must perish from the earth.

ARIZONA HOUSEWIFE
SOLVES PROBLEM OF
SUGAR DISTRIBUTION

FLAGSTAFF.-One Arizona patri-
otic housewife has found a new way
to conserve sugar that does not have
to be enforced, but is entirely option
al with the members of the family.
Each person of the family is given
his or her portion of sugar each day.
He can eat all of it at one meal, if he
so desires, but that means going with
out entirely for the other two meals.
Whenever enough sugar is saved
from the table supply, she promises
to make cake or pie with the saw
ings. In this way there is a reward
ahead which is ever tempting the
younger conservationists to greater
efforts.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Concerning Red Cross Worl

Editor Phoenix Tribune, Phoenix, Ari-
zona:
Sir-May l be permitted to write a
few lines to the many readers of your
most excellent journal concerning the
colored peoples Red Cross work in
Arizona
We are just now preparing for new
drive, and would like to say a few
words to our colored people about
what we have done, what we expect
to do and what we SHOULD DO.
We have in the State of Arizona dis
tinguished ourselves for our success in
raising funds for Red Cross purposes.
While it is noticeable fact that the
colored people throughout this nation
have contributed more, perhaps, than
any other class of people to the war
in all the various ways, especially con-
sidering from a financial standpoint
that we are not able to make large and
liberal contributions as are other
classes, still the thing that we are
to be proud of is that our loyalty to
our Government and our efforts along
those lines should forever put to
shame anyone, whatever his race or
creed, who would in the future, in the
