"Our food supply demands special
/ consideration. All waste in the prep
aration and use of food must be elm
mated. Wherever possible, perish
| able foods should be used in prefer
ence to staple products and canned
| goods. The livestock industry must
be conserved. We urge the various
| associations representing this indus
| try to cooperate to this end.
1--WE recommend that our mer-
chants, wholesalers, jobbers and re-
! tailers, take such action as will pre-
vent all unwarranted or arbitrary
| increases in prices of food commOdi-
ties, individual boarding and accu-
mulating of food is pernicious. Such
practice is not only of graf injury
to the majority of our citizens who
are compelled from necessity to buy
| supplies from day to day, but in the
| end reacts on those who indulge in
| that form of seifishness We call
upon every individual to discourage
this practice, not only by precept,
but by his own manly example.
''The planting season for summer
crops is now upon us. Every effort
must be made to bring all available
land under cultivation. Waste places
must be made to bear subsistence.
Each member of the council pledges
himself to plant,Or cause to be plant
ed a plot of ground not hitherto un-
der cultivation. Our seed supply
must be guarded and the best avail
able seed planted. Conditions are
such that high prices are likely to
prevail for some time to come and
our best effort to minimize this
condition must be put forth vigor-
l,ously
"Other resources of this state are
very essential to the welfare of our
country. Not only must all forms of
! agriculture be promoted, but war
conditions today demand that the or
ganization and maintenance of all
| essential industries be kept in high
state of efficiency. Our mineral re-
! sources must be fostered and devel-
oped to provide material for the war.
All industrial activities must be
maintained at their greatest cap
acities.
I'VE call upon all aliens among us
to unite with our citizens in promot-
ing the public good. Let us be con-
siderate of those who have been sub
| jects of nations with which we are
now at war. 1t is vitally important
that every individual shall realize
his duty by loyalty obeying and up
holding the law. Do not carry arms
unless you have the right to do so.
Do not kindle or Sepeat idle rumors
or gossips. Give aid and assistance
to officers Of the law to enable them
to maintain public peace and order
| Remember that disregard of law is
reprehensible at any time; today it
| is reasonable
! Every effort should be made to
support the president in his plans
for national defense. Encourage the
| organization of National Guard,
| army and navy; safeguard the rights
OF our soldiers and sailors and their
dependents, so that the burden may
rest as lightly as possible upon those
who offer their lives in the defense
of ALL
1--WE recommend all necessary
legislation to the end that the bur-
dens of the war shall be equitab1y
borne by all. Let this not be war
by the patriotic few for the benefit
of the many. We especially COM
mend the presidents plan for uni
versal military service.
''The demand of the hour is unit
ed, intelligent and immediate action.
We call upon every commercial body,
A"NcA Va SoA4AotAOll, SAUlCu UcHCtO-
lent, secret and patriotic society;
/ in short, all associations of every
kind and character within the state,
at once to perfect plans and methods
for promoting the efforts of the coun-
Gil for the safety of our state and
nation. Service in the ranks of the
National Guard, army and navy is
noble and patriotic. Unselfish ser
vice by private citizens is no less so.
With confidence in the patriotism
of the citizens and residents of Ari-
zona we ask that every man, woman
and child unite in public-spirited ef-
fort to uphold the peace, honor. and
welfare for Arizona and the Union.
