Poor Excuse No. 6.
1.-THE Loan? Oh, the war cost too
much money. There was waste"
Did you ever know Of a hurried job
without waste? We got into the war
with a standing start. Everything
had to be rushed. We are not a ma

Prices we're already high from war In

war had lasted another six months.

The wealthy men are sweating great

They know there has been a war. and
they're being asked to subscribe to

Poor Excuse No. 10.

CITY PAVEMENT
 |S NOW STARTED

P. H. Halleck, city engineer, stated yesterday the paving work which the city contracted for was started yes terday at the upper end of Tombstone Canyon by Contractor F. Y. McPeek of McPeek & Dillon.
 The city recently voted $20O,OOO for the paving of a number of the more prominent streets of Bisbee and the bonds were sold about two weeks ago. so that the money is yailable for this work
 About S140,000 of the fund will be spent on the paving of Tombstone Canyon, Naco Road, Brewery Gulch. Main street, Quarry Canyon and a few smaller blocks.
 This work will give Bisbee a contin- uOus paved street system all the way from north Tombstone Canyon to Lowell and will be most welcome improvement to autoists, although the streets will be somewhat torn up dur ing the next six months before the work is completed.

 Mir. Wood was the first man to join the organization. he said. and has been close. ly connected with it since 1915.
 After a bitter argument. Wood was all lowed to testify regarding the drawing of the leagues war resolutions at the St. Paul convention in 1917. and which have been attacked by the state in this case.
 The witness stated that so far as he knew. President Townley had nothing to do with the resolutions.
 This witness was preceded on the stand by his son, Lieutenant Governor Wood of North Dakota. The latter was not per. mitted to testify regarding a number of Townley's speeches not set forth in the indictment.
