 Thrift is a fundamental principle of our civilization and is akin to reh zion and good citizenship And. as thrift is O. such vital importance, es- peciauy during these days of recon struc,ion. the government anticipates a hearty response on the part of both ministers and laymen throughout the state"
 This movement is not an appeal that is being made for a subscription. but rather a personal donation to ones self, and one which the government needs to meet reconstruction expenses and which ii ~in return 10 you with good interest"
 The present needs Of our country, now that the war has been snccess- fully fought, are no less great and should be looked after with The same keen sense Of patriotism as when our boys were giving their lives in the front trenches of France"
 The nations debts must be paid. that's sure The nations debts will be paid and a great source of our country's income during these times of readjustment must be realized thru the sale of War Savings Stamps"
 Tn these days of high prices of the ordinary commodities of life. I believe every individual. rich or poor. should continue the practice of the forced lessons of war time economy, and ii is to this end that the government has given us the Thrift Stamp and the War Savings Stamps. thereby placing real government securities into the hands of even the children of the na- tion."

 ties were immediately detailed on the case. The rear window had been cut
 and the lock slipped and window open ed by which the robbers gained en-

 FARM ,N MEXICO

TUCSON, June IG,-As a result of The visit of Dr. Jose N. Nacias. rector Of the National University of Mexico, 10 Tucson. it probably will result in the introducing into Mexico of milo maize, Peruvian alfalfa, sorghum and other products of this locality
