'Important as I consider it to place the government of Arizona in .sate hands during the period of the war. 1 believe it my first duty at this time to help put through the Fourth Liberty Loa n. "1 have therefore decided to give all of my time and energies to the exploi tation of the Fourth Liberty Loan be tween the iSth day of September and the lXth day of October, the dates set by the president for the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. I will adjourn politics as tar as I am concerned tor this time and such addresses as 1 make during this period, will be devoted to the Liberty Loan and politics ami political subjects will not be touched upon at these meetings. 1 have of fered my services to the Fourth Liber ty loan committee of both the Arizona districts. "Our first duty is to win this war We cannot win it without the sinews of war. We cannot keep nearly two million men fighting 'over there un less we do our utmost over here. In the time alloted me before the Liberty loan opens and between the close and the general election, I shall discuss the well defined issues effecting the wel fare of Arizona, but conceive it to be my duty to lay aside politics during the Liberty Loan campaign and do what 1 can to help my government in this project so vital to the winning of the war.

SHOP CLOSING NOT BUCKINGHAM ORDER Parly rinsing of butcher shops and other pUces where meats are sold Is rot due to any order of the I'nited Stu'es Food Administration, according to s J. Knckingham, food administra tor for Maricopa county. Administrator Htioklngham said yes terday that he wished it distinctly un derstood that no order has been issued hy the food administration compelling the meat dealers to close their places of luisinesa at 5 o'clock each day In the week except Saturday, when they are kept open until 8 o'clock in the evening. There seems to lie an impression that the early closing is the result of an order hy the Federal Food Admin istration. Mr. Buckingham said. No such order has been issued, he con tinued, and as far as the local food administration is concerned the meat sellers may keep open as late as they please. Mr. Buckingham called attention to he fact that there are a number of grocery stores in the outlying dis tricts where meats are sold, and from the proprietors of these stores, he said, have come complaints that they ran n..t sell meat to customers as late as they ran sell them groceries. To these and to all others for that matter, the f.sd administrator wishes it made dis tinctly clear that their is no order of the food administration restrict ing the hours when meats may he sold The busy little honey bee has gotten his name on the list of the I'nited States Food Administration as an es sential Industrial worker, and so far as he is able to do no, S. J. Bucking ham, food administrator county, is en deavoring to protect this useful and al together desirable insect from exter mination throughout the winter that is almost upon us. Owing to the shortage of sugar. there has been an unusual demand for honey, with a consequent rise in prices and Mr. Buckingham and the food ad ministration generally have been led to believe that many aparists i ntheir de sire to reap the large profits, may over look the fart that a certain percentage of the bees' product should be con served in order that the bees may live through the winter. In some parts of the country, where the shortage of sugar Is not so strin gent as here tn Arizona, the food ad ministration nas been in position to allow bee raisers a certain amount of sugnr for their her;! sustenance through the cold weather. But this cannot he done here, so the local food administration earnestly requests bee keepers to save sufficient honey tn keep their bees from starving to death during their non-productive season.

NO 13TH FLOOR IN THIS SKYSCRAPER I People's" Home Journal) Knemies of ,hc "13" superstition are citinR in confirmation of their skep ticism that our first expeditionary foroe to France left on the thirteen! ii of the month on thirteen transports and was thirteen days in making the oujrney. And in spite of this triple hoodoo there was only one man ill when the troops arrived. Such proofs are futile, however, in shaking the belief of those who fear the malign influence of the "unlucky" number. Ludicrous as it may appear to many persons, there are actually a number of "skyscrapers" in New York City that have no thirteenth floors. After one pases the twelfth floor the next stop is the fourteenth. This very palpable subterfuge to deceive a sup posedly inexorable and malignant fate, is. the owners of the building will tell you, not because they are themselves superstitious, hut because so many of their tenants arc. Fear of 13 is, beyond doubt, the most widely spread superstition, its only rival being the Friday superstition, with which it is closely allied. Thir teen acquired its sinister significance because, at the Last Supper, Christ sat with his twelve disciples. The trage dies that followed that feast are sup posed to have cast their black shodaws over everything connected with the number. Centuries of civilization have not served to obliterate the dread of thir teen. Innumerable attempts have been made to disprove the superstition, but they fail ,to convince. Too often sin ister fnte appears to overtake the scof fers. There was the case of Matthew Arnold, for instance, who gave a din- FREE PUBLIC LECTURES By J. C. Mitchell, M.
