celebration in Yuma has not yet been felt Many a Thrift Stamp book was started on that day which will be filled in due time adding hundreds of dollars to the War Savings fund. And a move ment was inaugurated on that day looking to the organization of many War Savings societies which will mean many more hundreds of dollars.
 Director Tritle before leaving Yuma extended heartiest congratulations to those in charge of the work and ex- pressed himself as both surprised and pleased with the good work. Those who accompanied Director Tritle from Phoenix were State Distributor George Kirkland, State Librarian Con P. Cron- in, County Chairman J. c. Dobbins, Maricopa County Speakers Bureau Chairman Gene Cunningham. Judge w. S. Barnum and James G. Simpson, of the Arizona Republican, state chair man of the publicity bureau.
 The first night was spent at the Ho- tel Modesti, Agua Caliente Springs, where Mrs. Modesti did everything in her power to make her guests comfort able. Excellent meals and midnight baths and rubs in the hot springs put everybody in an excellent humor and ready for the long grind between the Springs and Yuma. Luncheon was had at the state road camp at the Gila River bridge and was all that could be desired
 En route the delegation held meet ings and conferences at Liberty, Buck eye, Palo Verde and Arlington, as we'll as at Palomas, Wellton, Dome and oth- CT points. War Savings societies are to be organized at these points. Liber- ty started the ball rolling by organiz- ing society in the Liberty school be- fore the visitors had gone well on their way. There are 110 pupils in this school which has all the lower grades and two high school grades. The mem- bership of the society at this school is expected to ultimately be quite large.
 All along the way the delegation was greeted with enthusiasm, the big cars bearing signs reading War Savings Special and Arizona War Savings Committee Special attracting no end of attention. It was the opinion of all in the party that it was a most suc- cessful trip and calculated to rouse exactly the spirit that is necessary in order to make the Thrift Stamp move ment success in Arizona.

 On February 27 from the head quarters in Washington, the national council of defense authorized the fol- lowing statement: For the purpose of completing the mobilization of the entire medical and surgical resources of the country, the organization of the volunteer medical reserve corps is authorized. It is intended that this new corps shall be an instru ment ably directed to meet such civil and military needs as are not already provided for. In view of the pro- spective losses in men with which every community is confronted, the general medical board believes that the need at home should be even better met now than ever It will mean that much service must be gratuitous, but the medical men can be relied upon to do their share of giving freely" These are a few sentences from a lengthy but strong document.
 One of the leading physicians in Arizona recently declared in public that the building of the Deaconess hospital was a war measure.

TAXATION LAWS
 MAKE PAMPH PH[ET

A pamphlet containing the general taxation laws and the revenue laws of the state of Arizona is being compiled under the direction of the state tax commission and soon will be issued The book will be of especial value to all concerns and parties whose taxable property adds considerable to the reve- nue of the state.
 Besides including the taxation laws of the revised statutes of 1913. the pamphlet will contain the additions and revisions made by the legislative sessions of 1915 and 1917, bringing it up to date in every particular. The copy for the book will go to the printer in two or three days. The last previous compilation of the general taxation and revenue laws was made in 1913

THR|F I TRIP |S
 B|C BOOST FUR
 SALE 0F STAMPS

State Director Harry R. Tritle of the Arizona War Savings committee, re- turned yesterday afternoon from Yuma where he and his party of Phoenix War Savings boosters spent Saturday in helping the local workers put the Colorado river town "over the top" in a most sensational Thrift Day drive. Nothing like an accurate estimate of the actual sales was obtainable before the Phoenicians left on Sunday morn ing on the return trip. but Director Tritle is confident that they went sev- eral thousand dollars beyond the fond- est expectations of those in charge of the work.
 It was announced late Saturday night that nearly if not quite $20,OO0 worth of Baby Bonds and Thrift Stamps had been sold during the day. but some what revised figures later cut this amount down somewhat. But even at that, it was admitted by all concerned that Yuma had done herself proud and was entitled to unusual distinction. That the sales exceeded those of the Phoenix Thrift Day is still the belief of the state officers of the War Saw ings committee.
 In some respects Saturday was one of the greatest in the history of that growing community. Business was not suspended but it was made secondary i to the big work in hand. One entire block in the heart of tne business dis l trict was roped off and upon the paved | street were erected the various booths and games for the promotion of the | sale of stamps and bonds. Only while the parade was in progress was this l thoroughfare open. President von kleinSmid of the University of Ari- zona addressed a thousand or more people within the roped off area. as did Judge W. $. Barnum of this city Col J. H. Westover acted as chairman of the gathering and introduced the speakers.
 i Early in the afternoon the postmast. CT and the banking houses began to be worried over the rapidity with which their supply of stamps and bonds was being depleted and message was wired to headquarters for an additional sup. ply. It is estimated that the grand bal i at the Elks club netted the cause about i$1 900.
 A fire alarm was sent in during the afternoon and brought many people l together who were at once reminded that the big thrift Day was in progress Swat the Kaiser" read a sign upor a big canvas curtain through which g loyal citizen thrust his head and al. lowed the throwing of three balls tt every purchaser of a thrift stamp. AnG the kaiser" was swatted many time during the day.
 The holiday spirit was on all day ant far into the night. In the evening thu day time crowd was augmented by hundreds of visitors from the neighbor
 ing communities until the streets an(
 business houses were thronged. The full benefit of the Thrift Da, Struckmeyer and W. l.. Barnum ant

not adequately be described by a mere
catalogue of the forms 1t may assume.
Certainly the spirit has been
abundantly present In these communi-
ties near our training camps. The aid
which the War Camp Community Serv-
Ice has been able to render In Its ex-
preston Is partly Indicated In the fol-
lowing account of some Of the things
that are being done.
Soldiers Clubs.
One form of this War Camp Commu-
nifty Service Is the starting Of soldiers
clubs: clubs which the soldiers run
themselves, usually through non-com-
missioned officers, In which they find
opportunities for bowling, billiards,
quiet games, a chance to smoke and
| talk and listen to music, to read or
write letters, to receive their women
! visitors, to buy soft drinks, chocolate,
and other things for which soldiers
and sailors manifest q special hunger
sometimes, especially In the case OF
the navy men, to secure a nights lodg-
ing. The largest of these clubs is at
| Newport where q tract of 125 acres
has been secured. with an old mansion
on 1t, now fitted up for all the pur-
poses of a club with a grove of trees,
In which, 100 hammocks have been
slung, a bathing beach. ample oppor-
~tunities for every kind OF outdoor
game, an outdoor theatre at which last
summer as many as 5000 navy men
were sometimes present. The naval
authorities have so appreciated the re-
sources Of this club that they spent
$4,000 on a special foot bridge to con-
meet It with the Navy Yard
Another club in Newport is located

closed by Admiral knight. There are
q number of other cases In which this
typical supplanting of the old order by
the new has taken place.
Athletics.
Another thing the War Camp Com
munity Service Is doing is getting up
games and athletic sports between SOL
0ieES IfOU ulueFeut chulpS, anu %
tween soldiers or sailors and local
teams. Some Of the football games
have attracted large crowds Of specta-
tors, and the proceeds have been hand
ed oyer to the soldiers to buy footballs
or other athletic supplies-
MobIIfzina Community Resources.
The more important, though less
visible. part of this Community Serv-
Ice Is moi In doing things directly for
the soldiers but In getting the COM
munity itself to do them.

chinery by which these raw materials
were TO be turned into finished prod

Such a growth In foreign trade has
been accomplished only by an In.
creased production nj home, and the
Japanese see that the proportion OF
this trade which they VIII retain after
the war depends largely upon the
measures taken now TO continue that
increased production. For that rea.
son concerns OF every kind are com
hlning either through amalgamation oil

1t up for the Odd Fellows within the
camp. They were able to invite their
own members because the COM
mandant, Major General Hodges, had
a census made Of all the men In camp

nifty each man belongs to, of what col

society can extend Its hospitality. lndi-
vidually and by name. to Its own MEM
bers among the officers and men. A
similar census has been made at al
most all the camps.
The Churches Doing Splendid Work.
Many churches. In various communi-
ties, have, at the suggestion Of the
local War Camp Community Service,
started soldiers clubs. Many union
churches have been built. Every

,years she expects 10 produce 100000
tons Of Iron and 2.l4O.UOO tons OF steel
annually. japanese capitalists have
proposed that they finance the opera
tlon of certain iron mines In Canada in
order TO assure their manufacturers OF
ample supplies.
For the last three years ,Japan has
been benefting from Germany's with
drawal from foreign trade. She has
benefited in the first place by being
forced to find at home or 10 produce
herself the raw materials and finished
products which Germany supplied. and
again she has benefited by selling heF
own products to countries which fors
merry bought from Germany. Japan
is making every effort to keep the buy
Ing worlds attention upon herself, and
new enterprises are constantly enter
Ing the field formerly dominated by
the Germans. Because OF their lmita-
tive skill and their supply Of cheap
labor the japanese are particularly
well equipped TO compete for this kind
OF business.
The scarcity Of dyes has been felt
very keenly by the textile Industries
of Japan and for the last three years
the Government has been encouraging
the formation of dye industries by
granting subsidies. The amount Of
the subsidies Is sufficient to enable
the companies to pay a dividend Of 8
per cent. per annuIn on their paid-up
capital, and they are to be given for q
period of ten years.
Unprecedented profits have been
earned by the shipping companies as a
result of the increase In foreign trade,
and the building OF additional tonnage
Is going on at top speed. Practically
every n OF the owning companies
has increased its capital with the pur-
pose OF making extensions. Several
new routes have been established.
In response to protests against fur
Their subsidies the usual subsidy
period of four years has been divided
and the present allotments VIII run
only to the end OF next year. With ono
exception the amounts have been re-
duced. The Government U~'alntalns that
the subsidies are necessary offsets for
special obligations and burdens which
are imposed upon the shipping com
panles In the interest Of the Empire
as a whole. The Idea that subsidiza-
ton implies rights of supervision and
regulation Is being carried out In all
new enterprises to which the Govern
ment gives financial. assistance.
The close and necessary relation be-
tween adequate banking facilities and
the expansion Of foreign trade Is rec.
ognlzed In the arrangements which tho
japanese are making to have branch
banks at every point where their mer'
chants touch. A banking commission
