NO ROOM FOR

Canada as a Nation Builder.

With Canada's great task In the
war before the public, the burdens
that she so willingly took and so ably
carried, and her recent victory In sub
scribing S175.000.OOO to the 9th Vic
tory Bond Loan more than she asked,
he would be a skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada deplores
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost In battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there is no room In Can
ada today for the pesslmist. The ag'
ricultural production of the country
has doubled in four years. $4,000
600 are the railway earnings today
or 81 times what they were ten years
ago, while the bank deposits are now

100000 thirty years ago.
There is a wonderful promise Tor
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era of peace. She has tri.
umphed over the soul-testing crisis OF
war. Before the war Canada was a
borrower, and expected to continue SO
for many years. For the past year and
q half we have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits TO other nations.

INC war has taken from Canada a
cruel toll. More than $4,000 of her

The entry of George Babbitt into the fight for the Democratic nomina- tion for governor next year adds con- siderable zest to the scrap and brings an entirely new factor into the situa- ton. MT. Babbitt, who is one of the richest merchants in the state, is head of the organization. Having big barrel, his candidacy is bound to be very popular. His decision to make the race was made following the visit to Flagstaff of the Honorable Tom brennan, secretary of the state com mittee and to him belongs the credit for putting Rabbit over as a can didate.
 Following the decision of MT. Bab- bitt to make the race, he and brennan called meeting of the state com mittee at Phoenix for Thursday at fair week, and the organization will on that occasion be lined up back of the Babbitt candidacy as far as pos sible.
 With the Capitol Harmony Club formed to support the claims of Mitt Sims, the Hunt machine lined up solid behind Mulford Winsor and the state committee boosting the candidacy of it's chairman, George Rabbit, the Democrats of Arizona have great fight on and one which will undoubt-

HIS CANADIAN" TEAM

Capt. J. R. MacKendrick of the Canadian army tells the following story:
 "When the great allied contests were held at Aldershot, England, was sent over from France with the team that represented the Canadian army, and it was victorious in all of the thirty events scheduled. The very greatest was the tug of war, won easily from both the Americans and the British. King George, at the end of the contest, expressed his sorrow and regret that the representatives of the British army were last in all the contests. He said he was glad, how ever, that the Canadians had beaten the Americans
 'He then sent his aide down the line to the Canadian captain. The king is very much interested in your tug of war team, said the aide, and he would like to know just where the eight men that comprise it come from what nationality they are.'
 "The captain at once obtained the necessary information and then, salut- ing the king, announced: Your mai esty, it gives me pleasure to report that of the eight men of this winning Canadian tug of war team, seven of them are Swedes from North Dakota, U. s. A
