REFUSAL TO BUY AS A REMEDY
FOR HIGH PRICES

The Literary Digest OF January "a
contains an article on the above
heading IL should be read by every
one who is interested in reducing
the cost OF living. We here print O
few OF the paragraphs.
"Judicious buying" is advocated
ty Mr.. Lester tof the United States
Treasury Department in an article
in The New York HERALD as the most
effective way TO swat high prices,
and by that he means less buying

worked formula, I'll take the best

opcd in this country mad wave OF
extravaganza. People have plenty

enough 10 take advantage OF the op-
portunity 10 proflteer." Conversely,

newspaper quoted by Mr.. Lester, "A

don't buy his goods" In view OF
this situation, Mr.. Lester suggests /:

THE AMERICAN LEGION
Cleveland Frost Post No. so

The American Legion is making a
drive TO increase It's membership.
The period between February fst
and 22nd will be devoted 30 three
purposes, viz; first, securing new
members; second. organizing, Wo-
mans Auxiliaries; and third, Amer

and Means Committee will author
ize a civilian committee 20 receive
voluntary subscriptions in support
of IFS purpose. etc.
The Cleveland Frost Post No. 80
will engage in this drive and IL
hopes 10 enroll all the ex-soldiers
and sailors in their territory.
A Woman's Auxiliary will be or
gained. Those who are interested
should consult with Mrs. Ritter. IL
is desired that all who are eligible
will be enrolled in this organiza-
tiOn.
Those who should have French
Memorial Diplomas are requested
10 give their names TO c. G. Batson.
The American Legion is an or
ganizalfon of the men who served
in the Army. Navy or Marine Corps
during the great war. II is purely
a civilian organization and carries
with IL no obligations or duties
that any American citizen would
not gladly subscribe 10.
The American Legion Is not a
military or quasi-military organi-
zation. II has no connection, di-
rect or indirect. with any military
organization. State or National. No
man renders himself liable for mill
itary duty in any form whatsoeveri
by joining The American Legion.
The American Legion is not an
officers club. II has registered pro-
test against organizations for Of
flcers only, just as IL has done
against organizations for enlisted
men only.
The American Legion has pro-
hibited the use Of titles or refer
ence 10 rank in the organization
and has decreed that the General
and the Doughboy. the Admiral and
the Cob shall serve together on
terms Of absolute equality.
The American Legion is not a po-
litical organization. No ex-service
man need fear that the organization
will he used 10 promote the politi-
cal prestige OF any member or class
Of members. The National organi-
zation Of the Legion has decreed
that no man who holds, or is a can
didate for public elective Office
shall hold Office in The American
Legion. or course, many ex-ser-
vice men will into politics. II Is
right 'and proper that they do so.
Many Of them will run for public
Office. but they will do so as indi-
viduals and on their own merit and
not as candidates OF The American
Legion or with the endorsement OF
The American Legion as an organ
ization.
or The four million, eight hundred
thousand soldiers. sailors and ma
rines, who served during the great
war, over one million have Joined
The American Legion and great
strides have been made in organi-
zation. Every state in the country
is organized and il is the desire OF
Kentucky TO have every county or
ganized before this drive Is over.

"A NAN NAY; BE DOWN
 RuT IS NEVER OUT"

i, "A man may be down but he is never out" is a slogan that has been adopted by the Salvation Army. And it is the slogan that has guided them in their recreation work among those unfortunates who have been strug- gling for their very existence in the whirl-pools of life.
 What greater incentive could one have, in trying to rescue the less for tunate one from the sloughs of des- pondency, than the belief that the unfortunate might be re-created into self-respecting citizens, regardless of how low they had sunk into the depths of vice and crime?
 The Salvation Army has been heed ing the calls from the distressed for the past half century, with never thought of material gain for them selves. With the nickels and dimes that have been tossed into their tam bourines on the street they have car ried-on their work. But the time has come, when the demands upon their services are SO great, that they must abandon their old custom of begging on the streets the year round for money and devote their entire time and attention to the poor and needy.
 Trusting that the great mass of American people will see the great necessity for carrying on their work, they have decided to launch finan- cial campaign in this state from May 12 to 20 for maintenance during the ensuing year. ... ... .,
 The quota asked from Mohava County is $740.0O and there is nc doubt but what the people of Mohave County will be glad to show their ap- preciation of the work of this Chris tan band of toiiers by subscribing lib e. ally toward this fund.
 The Salvation Army Advisory Board for this county will handle the campaign. This board, which is com posed of twelve leading citizens, is headed by Judge Bollinger, chairman and w. L. Linville, secretary.

ORGANIZE FOR CAM
 PAICN SALVATION ARMY

9 The organization of committees for the financial campaign to be launched by the Salvation Army in this state from May 12 to 20 has been completed in every county according to Vernon L. Clark State Chairpan.
 The Salvation Army one year ago abandoned it's old custom of begging in the streets the year round for money, stated MT. Clark, "so that their workers could devote their en- tire time and attention to the poor. I know of no greater bulwark that could be raised against the rising tide of human unrest than to strengthen this self sacrificing band of workers who have the confidence of all men and women regardless of race, creed, color or position in life. I think it is important for the interests of our ad- vancing civilization that such prac- tical and wholesome work be stimuli ated to the utmost! There could have been no greater test for the Salvation Army than the test they received iR the war. So I am just adding ny voice to the mighty chorus when I say that the Salvation Army has long since run the right to appeal to the rest of us for maintenance and I am sure that the appeal to the citizens of Arizona will not be made in vain"
 The e'maintenance quota for the State has been set at $30,00O and 1t is also intended to raise a building quota in each of the corp towns. Fofl a long time the Army has been hampered to a great extent in ministering to the needy by inadequate quarters and it Fs proposed that suitable buildings to carry on their work will be under con- struction in the near future.

WAYS TO USE "CHUCK"

The average housewife uses the ex- ,pensive cuts of meat, not realizing that with a little care she could mo- ticeably reduce her meat bill by us- ing the inexpensive cuts. It is sug- gested by Mrs. Mary P. Lockwood of the Agricultural Extension Service, that she try chuck instead of porter house and sirloin. Following are some recipes: ~
 Chuck Steak With Onions

 Salt. N
 Butter or oleomargarine..
 Slice onions in water. Drain thor \oughly. Place onions in a shallow saucepan, cover closely and cook over slow fire for 15 or 20 minutes till tender. Use no water or fat as the onions contain both moisture and rich ness. Heat frying pan smoking hot, and brown the steak quickly on both sides; add onions; reduce the heat and turn the meat frequently until it is cooked through. Season the steak and salt the onions. Serve the meat on platter with onions around it. Add butter or oleomargarine if de- sired. / . Beef Steak Pie.

It seems that he planned a little surprise for friend wife on the morning of April 1st by having a box sent up to the house that looked like it might contain spring hat, but didn't. He was enjoying the situ- ation immensely when telegram ar- rived asking him to meet the Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias on the incoming train.
