PROVIDE COMFORTS FOR OUR
BOYS.

Now that the Fourth Liberty loan
Is out of the way there is just one
more big task for the American peo-
ple-to provide the comforts of life
for our boys through the United
War Work Campaign
John r. Mott, director general of
the campaign, announces the total
amount sought is at least $170,5OO,-
900 and that the quotas specified for
Arizona is $3O6,9OO.
The total was fixed by the war de-
partment and approved by the presi-
dent. 1t will be administered under
government directions for the seven
recognized war agencies in this cam
paign, the Young Mems Christian
Association, the Young Womens
Christian Association, the National
Catholic War Council (Knights of
COlumbus), the Jewish Welfare
Board, the War Camp Community
Service, the American Library Asso-
citation and the Salvation Army.
'The amount is the largest ever
asked as a gift from any people in
the history of the world" said DR..
Mott. Viewed as a total it seems
gigantic, but divide it by the four
million men who will be under arms
in our army and navy during the
period it is expected to cover, and
you will find that it means less than
fifteen cents day per man, he said"
Surely there is no father or mother
or friend of soldier in this great
country who will say that fifteen
cents day is too much to spend on
his church or his home over there
and his library, his theater and his
club.
"The president summed up the
whole appeal in a recent letter in
which he spoke of the work of these
seven great agencies of vital military
Importance He had in mind the
fact that their activities are largely
responsible for the maintenance of
the splendid moral of our forces.
There has never been in history
so spectacular an example of the
supreme of morale as is now being
presented on the western front. The
forces that confront each other are
not widely dissimilar in numbers or
equipment, yet one army is constant
ly withdrawing and the other irresis-
tibly moving forward The differ
ence is spelled in that single word
morale
Napoleon said that morale is an
other factor in war as three to one.
General Pershing, in a recent letter
commenting on the work of these
agencies, quoted with approval the
statement of one of his colonels who
said: Give me nine men who have \
hut to spend their evenings in and I
will have better fighting force than
ten would be without it.
If it is worth twenty-four billion
dollars to keep our boys under arms
next year, surely it Is worth hun
dred and seventy Willion, or more,
to add ten per cent to their fighting
edge to bring victory ten per cent
nearer
This is the appeal of seven Unit
ed War Work agencies of America
and particularly to those four million
homes where service flags fly and we
know what Americas answer will
be-

Hotel Building Now Dark.

The new hotel building owned by
the Commercial Bank of Parker Ad-

electric lighting plant having been
closed down for good by a majority
OF the directorate, who have instruc-

The company has paid about $500 on
the plant and about $40O for freight

The Spanish Flu.

Parker has thus far been very
lucky with regard to the epidemic of
Spanish influenza. Dr. Nettle says
there are only eleven cases of the
malady in town and four of these are
convalescent while the others are
getting along nicely, with no signs
as yet of pneumonia.

Predictions Partly True.

The medicine men, of the Parker
Indian reservation have scored a
pointer at least their prOphesies
have in measure come true. 1t
will be remembered that several
months ago The Post published in
substance the predictions OF the
wise men" of the Mojave tribe, in
which it was declared that pestilence
and famine, dire tribulations and
sore travail such as the world has
never before seen, were imminent.
These revelations they claimed to
have received through incantations
and special dispensation, and those
among them who still retained stock
in the ancestral creed were greatly
perturbed and awaited results with
grave expectancy. When the Span
ish flu" made it's appearance in these
parts, partly verifying the predic-
tions, it is said that great consterna-
tion prevailed among the faithful,
while the aboriginal disciples of
jeremiah assumed an air of profound
wisdom as they dolefully wagged
their heads and murmured, 81 told

NEW ARMY SHOE,
"THEPERSHING, IS
Defer OF MUD

ATLANTIC CITY, April So
American troops will soon be equip
ped with q new type OF footgear
known as "The Pershing," as the re-
suit OF recommendations made by the
commander OF the nations fighting
forces abroad, according to announce
ment made here by committees OF the
National Tanners Association and the
American Leather Association, pre-
pairing for a war conference OF the
two organizations May Is to Il.
Experience In the trenches and on
hikes over mud covered roads has
shown that army shoes with stitched
soles do not stand the strain because
the threads rot and the shoe bursts
at the seams.
The PershinE" Is TO have heavier
soles, fastened to the uppers with
hobnails. Experiments with this type
have been successfully carried out
under the direction OF General Per
Bhing.
Blacks, tans, and whites will be the
only colors obtainable for domestic
wear within q few months, except
for goods now in stock, the commit
tee declared. There ts q strong posi-
bility OF composition material for ci-
william wear because OF the shortage
in leather and the desire to conserve
the supply for the soldiers.

O, SUCHA CIRCUS!
ALL THE GIRLS ARE
GETTING MARRIED

Bird MIlIman started Il. She knew
II was against the rules and all that.
But, right in the middle OF last sea-
son. she fell in love with q young
broker of Sioux Falls, Iowa, and in
Detroit, q few weeks later, became
Mrs. John c. Thomas. Dancing and
prancing and skipping and hopping
on q wire was what the circus hired
her to do: and she knew very well
that when she signed q contract she
bound herself. under the unwTitten
law Of circusdom, to remain single
for the season. Really the rule Is
more strict even than that, for a

who broke the rule. So the manage
ment. though panied, shut one eye.
When the circus arrives here Sunday
and settles down for a three-days'
visit those who see the show will
understand why.
But then followed such q general
assault upon the unwritten law OF

rule OF punishment must have broken
up the show. But six pretty girls who
eloped last year found Il necessary to
apologize before they were taken back
this season. They promised not to
break any other rules, and were sign
ed up for another season. When they
walked out OF the managers office.
just before the circus opened some OF
them winked and chuckled. But there
will hardly be another circus elope-
ment without serious consequences,
for every unmarried girl who started
with the show this year was required
to sign her name to a stipulation that
she would stay single during the sea

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out DGndruf

The only sure way TO get rid OF
dandrhR Is to dissolve it, then you
destroy It entirely. To. do this, get
about four ounces OF ordinary liquid
srvon; apply It at night when reur-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub It in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most, II not all, OF your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of IL. no matter how much dan
druh you may have.
You will find, too. that all Itching
and digging OF the scalp-will stop at
once, and your hair will be fiuffy, lus-
trous, glossy. silky, and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. II Is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.
