must be a growth resulting from the

farmers themselves"
The conclusion up to the present,
says the secretary, seems to be that
the field is one primarily for the
states to occupy through sound legis-
lation. Under laws adopted in five
states 125 personal-credir associations
have been organized, but the larger
percentage of them have been formed
by wage earners in urban centers.
"The attempt to develop strictly ru-
raj credit bodies has met with some
what more success in North Carolina
than elsewhere" the report states.
in this state the work of promoting
and supervising such organizations
was placed in charge of an official in
the division of markets and rural or
ganization of the state college of az
riculture. The law of this state was
enacted in 1915, and at present IS
credit unions, all of them rural, are in
operation. 1t Is noteworthy that the
North Carolina law makes special
provision for educational and demon
strational activities"

in the departments laboratory were
used effectively in connection with its
efforts to recruit farm labor, encour-

There are thousands today looking
for farms to buy, and with the hun
dreds of thousands of acres offered for
sale, there is no lack of opportunities.
But there are all classes of lands, good,
bad, and Indifferent, much of each.
The government of the Dominion of
Canada has no land for sale, but with
in the boundaries of the Dominion
there are unlimited acres of choice
land owned by railway and land COM

STATEWIDE OBSERVANCE OF
 THRIFT SUNDAY WAS STEP
 ADVANCE PERSONAL THRIFT

The statewide observance o; Ma. iional Thrift Sunday on June 22nd was one 0. the advance steps in the propa. gaticn of personal thr.f, by the citi- zenship Of Arizon as a unit in the National campaign for personal thrif; and individual saving by the millions 5f Americans" writes Mir. Victor F. Palmer, State Director Of War Say. .nges.
 The ministers are behind this movement, and have written this of fee from every corner of the state, and have teen unanimous in their praise Of the efforts our governmeo. is putting forth in assisting the citi- zens Of this the greates, government in the world today, along the lines of rersonal savings and economies.
 The business men are behind this movement, for :n encouraging thrift. il makes their employees more steady and efficient; the bankers are behind .his movement. as it encourages say- ings and promotes thrift in the broad. est sense: and the wage earners are behind this movement, as it teaches ard encourages them to save some thing each week from their earnings. and in offering Thrif; Stamps and W. 5. s. the government :s offering in the most convenient form real govern nent securities paying a high rate of interest, and which will be an ever ready help in time of need, and no dis. counts or red tape to bother with"
 Thus it will be seen, that in this national thrift campaign, and with a National Thrift Sunday each year. not only will there be encouraged person al savings and individual economy, which all will agree is closely akin to religion, but in this environment of National saving. and individual pros perity. and the germs of European Bolsheviki that have been sown broad. cast over. our own fair land cannot develop, and few seeds Of anarchy can grow!"

ARIZONA COMPANY ,-.7'A .a.
 BUYS THE SHANNON
AS A SPECULATION

CLIFTON, Ariz., June 2S.-The sale of the shannon property to the Ari- zona Copper company, Ltd. has been consummated, taking in 1e0O acres above Metcalf. a wei equipped rail- road, smelling and concentrating units and offices and homes for employees.
 The smelter below Clifton is to be scrapped, though there may be much in its equipment that can be added to the nearby Arizona smelling plant.
 The railroad is to be abandoned for the time being and there appears to be no disposition to operate the mines. According to General Manager Nor
 man Carmichael, the purchase by his corporation has been matter of speculation rather than of investment. The Arizona company has run it's Metcaf exploration veil up toward shannon ground, and it is believed that the superior organization of the larger corporation can find profit where the Shannon management fail ed.
 shannon made money only during the peak period of the copper market, it's pound product cost having been the highest known in the southwest. Yet it had developed immense bodies of ore, with average sampling, how ever, of only about 1 per cent. MT. Carmichael for some time has been leading in experiments toward more economical handling of such ores in the Arizona companys mines. It is understood that a new teaching plant is to be built soon. possibly on the Shannon shelter ground. The Ari- zona was pioneer among southwestern properties to turn to teaching, in a lead lined plan. at the mout,. of Chase creek, at Clifton.
 Metcalf is now practically abandon ed The Arizona company has closed down mining operations there and at Coronado and transferred it's workmen elsewhere. Also closed is No. { con- at Clifton, which handled the Metcalf-Coronado ores.
