If you only get a job of peeling potatoes peel 'cm right, persistently and economically. Tho president may not get a chance to pat you on tho back personally, but you will feel that you have done your "bit" and can be proud of tho result. We Americans have lived such a free and untrammeled life that it is hard for us to come to a realization that wo owe any especial duty to the nation not only to the nation but to the wholo world at this time. This is tho greatest war the world has ever known. The settlement of it will bring mankind closer together than all the preachments of the ages if it is settled rlght-and, America is going to help settle it right. The great world stage is set, boys, and it is just as well to make up our minds now to go the full limit as to wait and be compelled to sacrifice more a few years later, if the great human problem is not solved now. America can not do too much at the present time to solve one of the great world problems. Our men, our blood, our money will be sacrificed upon a cross, as our Savior did, for a new world to come. It is hard to awaken to the stup endous things that arc now taking place, nor the results that best men of the world are striving'for. It is too big for many to grasp, but the time has como within our generation and God grant we Americans wjll not be lacking. It is not only the man who can face a cannon without flinching, thp hero, but as well the man who can face grueling labor day by day and ungrudging give for the great cause. It is our fight now. Let us go al together and finish the light each as he can see his dutyphysically, men tally, financially. Devine Providence seems to have willed that America should be included when the great peace settlement comes and war is ended for all time. Offer your help now, whatever it may be. WANTS EXEMPTION POLICY KNOWN Congressman Horace M. Towner of Iowa believes that the President should make known his exemptions under the conscription law as soon as possible so that the farmers may know at the earliest possible moment what the prospect will be for obtain ing help in the present season. Mr. Towner has received a letter from a member of the Iowa Legislature call ing attention to the pressing need of such information. Crops, he declares, are not being planted because of scar city of labor, and the condition will be aggrevated unless farmers can know in advance whether they will be allowed to keep their labor through out the season. Mr. Towner says that the cold, wet weather in his State has already disheartened the farmers, and unless they receive encouragement Irom the administration on the labor question the shortage of acreage planted will be serious indeed. The selective draft system need not necessarily worry any self-respecting American citizen. The first thing to be done will be to secure a military census of all males from 21 to SO in elusive; all defectives will be elimin ated, but they will be recorded just the same. A call has been Issued by the presi dent for such registration the the date is set and all persons of the ages mentioned will be required to present themselves at their nome voting precincts for registration, or if away from home he will register at the nearest precinct and send the registration card to the sheriff of their home county, who will return a certificate to him. You will not be overlooked merely because you fall to present yourself for registration; the big .dragnet will get you just the same. The number of men desired will be selected from those registered. OPINION OF A FIGHTER John L. Sullivan, who used to be the best individual, unarmed fighter in the world, says that the only man the Kaiser is afraid of is Theodore Roosevelt, and that when Congress sends the Col. to the front with an army, "Bill Hohenzollern will know he has a fighter on his hands." John L. might have added that the people of this country will also know then that there is a real fight on. Until then we shall not kndw when the watchful waiting will end. BOUND TO GET TO THE FRONT SOMEHOW Some one told us that Col. Breen of the Coconino Sun was going to the front with a regiment of Northern Ariona fighters. We don't believe it. The Sun has installed an up-to-date stereotyping plant. This sounds like that Col. Breen is going to stay at home. He is .determined to make the Sun the biggest paper this side of Los Angeles. Snowflake Herald. COLLEGE MEN ONLY The War Department' has ruled that a man must have a college dip loma to qualify for training as an army aviator. Of course, some col lege men have been high fliers; but the absurdity of the rule is evident when one thinks of the mechanicians who know all about aeroplanes and who cannot enter the government service ,f or lack of a piece of parch ment, u WE'VE DONE I'm sitting here a' thinking of those things I left behind, And I hate to put on paper what is running through my mind. We've dug a million trenches, and cleared ten miles of ground; And a meaner place this side of h 1, 1 know is still unfound; But there's still one consolation gather closely while I tell When we die we're bound for Heaven, for we've done our hitch in h 1. We've built a hundred kitchens for the cooks to stew our beans; We've stood a hundred guard mounts, and cleaned the camp latrines; We've washed a million mess kits, and peeled a million spuds; We've rolled a million blanket rolls, and washed a million duds; The number of parades we've made is hard to tell, But they'll not parade in Heaven for they did their hitch in h 1. We've killed a million rattle-snakes that tried to take our cots, And shook a hundred centipides from out our army socks; We've marched a hundred thousand miles, and made a thousand camps, And pulled a million cactus thorns from out our army pants; And when our work on earth is done, our friends behind will tell "When they died they went to Heaven, for they did theiivhitch in h 1." When the final taps are sounded and we lay aside life's cares, And we do the last parade up the shining stairs; And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play, We can draw a million canteen checks and spend 'them in a day; It is then we'll hear St. Peter tell us loudly with a yell, "Take a front seat Battery A, you have done your hitch in h 1." Don't think for a moment that you have escaped because you hide out on registration day Juno 5th. You haven't and aside from that, you are piling up a lot or misery lor yourself that should be avoided. "Slackers" will be dealt with in an unpleasant manner by Uncle Sam. Excuses will not be accepted. Watch your step. E. H. Crabb has been appointed a member of the state cattle sanitary board by Governor Campbell. Mr. Crabb is a natural born cattleman and probably one of the best posted men concerning the cattle business in the state. Along with his splendid quali fications for the place is his energy in carrying out the work laid before him. Mayor General J. J. Pershintr has been appointed by President Wilson as tnc nrst American ' toastmastcr ' to visit French soil and assist the allies in making things disagreeable for the Kaiser. It is expected that a small party of inquisitive Americans numbering some 20,000 or more, will soon go over to assist Gen. Pershing on his expedition, with more to follow later if their services are required. The sheenmen of Northern Arizona were well pleased to learn of the ap pointment by Governor Uampbell of George T. Campbell as a member of the state sheep sanitary board. It meets with popular approval as does the appointment of N. J. Ritter of Congress Junction, both men are most excellently Qualified for the work and have been prominent among sheep growers of the north for many years. If the newspaper boys over the state do not ''lay off" this "Col. Breen" stuff it will be necessary to pull a little "at sunrise" dope on 'em. Of course, they might seek excuse as "Jeff" did by reason of the fact he did not get up that early, but the "old man's" head is getting so swelled that it has been necessary to buy two hats already. Governor Hunt has concluded to show his supreme contempt for the people and courts of Arizona, by taking his defeat up to the supreme court. Regardless of politics, the peo ple of the state of Arizona are pa-1 triotic and not especially Interested in helnine to muddy the water to boost some one's individual game. Remember the boys on the border you can reach them by addressing your letters and packages in care of the First Arizona Infantry, Naco, Arizona. They are especially "Our Boys" and represent the pride of Ari zona. Remember if you are 21 to 30, that Uncle Sam requires you to register June 5th in your precinct at the usual voting place. It will be mighty un pleasant for you if Uncle Sam has to look you up because you forgot it. Concrress the trreat American de bating society, has finally concluded that the moon is not made of green cheese, but really smacks of limberger consequently concluded to come to terms on a Swiss cneese compromise. Noticed a sign in San Bernardino the other day, which read: "Baby buggies retired." This should be re ported to Colonel Roosevelt promptly. SHERIFF'S OFFICE PICKS UP TWO MEN WANTED Herman Chavez, wanted for deser tion in Albuquerque, was arrested in Flagstaff last Thursday by the Sher ib's office. The following day Jose Chavez, no relation to the other Chavez, was ordered arrested by the Albuquerque sheriff on charge of larceny and was immediately picked up by the sheriffs office force. Both men were taken back to Albu querque last Friday night by a special officer from Duke city. CLIFF CAMP NOTES Mrs. J. C. Kester has a new car. L. J. McClure was in Flagstaff Monday.

M. and nine P. M., on Tuesday, June fifth, nineteen seventeen, at the precincts wherein they have their permanent homes, and providing a penalty there for; and Whereas, The Provost Marshal Gen eral of the United States, the officer in charge of the said registration, has caused to be sent to the Sheriff of each county in Arizona, instructions for the carrying out of the said regis tration, and has invited the aid of all civil authorities in the prompt and accurate making of the said registra tion, and has urged that the widest publicity be given this work: Now, Therefore, I, Thomas E. Campbell, Governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority vested in me under the said law, do order that every male resident of Arizona be tween the ages aforesaid, whether an American citizen or allien, shall pres ent himself for registration in his precinct, at the place designated there in, between the hours of seven A. M. and nine P. M. on Tuesday, June 5, 1917, or suffer the penalty prescribed by said law. And it is earnestly recommended all possible facility be provided by employers of, such persons as afore said, to the end that a complete regis tration be effected on that day and date. The enrollment already performed by the Assessors of the several coun ties or Arizona under the Military Code has no reference whatever to the subject of this Proclamation, and such previous enrollment does not in any manner affect the obligation of the aforesaid males as to the Federal reg istration. Since June fifth marks the prelim inary step in securing a military cen sus, from which is to be raised and trained the best army the world has known, a necessity, because of an un just war, forced upon the United States, let the people of Arizona make it a gala day in which all, regardless of age or sex, shall participate as a patriotic duty. In Witness Whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of Arizona to be affixed. Done at Phoenix, the Capital, this twenty-second day of May, A. D. 1917.

The mo trocycle has come to stay on this Forest and the next step is to secure one of these vans or side cars so that the patrolman can take not only him self but some chuck, .water and some fire tools, up to 500 lbs., so he can stay with a fire until it is out. With the good roads in all directions out of Flagstaff the motorcycle has proved invaluable in fire protection and the local forest office is now looking for ward to having one of these side cars for local use.
