GREAT SAVINGS
 MADE BY CITIES
 IN OLD ENGLAND
Food Economy" Program in England Results in Saving Bread to Extent of 30 Per Cent in Some Cities

LONDON. Sept l. Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-As the result of the flood economy" program or propaganda, the consumption of bread in some of the larger British towns has been reduced by as much as p to 50 per cent, while the con sumption of flour is down by Is per cent.
 This has been effected largely through the voluntary efforts of the people in the United Kingdom who have been urged by various means to reduce their ordinary consumption of food.
 More than 20,000,O 900 leaflets and D. 100000 posters urging the people to "eat less bread" have been issued by the director general of food economy, meetings have been organized through out the country, propaganda leaflets placed in the pay envelopes of all mu- uition workers and lectures given in schools while the newspapers freely gave their columns in support of the campaign.
 Of course, it was also necessary to place some restriction on the use of flour and other commodities as, for instance, the prohibition of making fancy pastry and bread. no bread to be sold unless F hours old and no milk or ruit to be used in the making of bread.
 The brewers output was restricted severely, manufacturers were cut down 25 per cent. in their use Of su- gar while public eating places were severely rationed with regard to the size and price of meals
 Further. the rationing of horses was also taken in hand and, as result of the voluntary efforts of the people in conjunction with these measures. the director general of food economy is able on his retirement to report a considerable decrease in the consump- tion of the most essential commodi- ties.
 Efforts in the direction of increased food production also have met with considerable success, particularly among the workers of Great Britain who are now cultivating four times more allotments for vegetable grow ing than before the war.
 Throughout the country. land has been taken over which was formerly growing mustard seed. hops. bulbs, etc. and utilized for growing food.
 Some 90O.OOO acres have already heen added to the arable area in England and Wales on which 10000 troops have been employed while about 100000 women are now reg ularly employed in agricultural work
 More than thousand motor trac- tors and 60 caterpillar tractors are heinz used on the land and orders for 1000 tractors have been placed | for the 1918 campaign.

FORTY MILLION
 POUNDS COPPER
 SHORT IN MONTH
Arizona Expected to Produce 5O,O00,OOO Pounds in Aug ust, While Normal Produc-
 ton Is Close to 90,0O0,000

Arizona's copper output in August will probably be little under 5O,OOO. 900 pounds. Approximate advance figures indicate 4S,6OO,000 pounds. This compares with 90.SOO, ,O00 pounds which the copper producers of the state would be giving to the world in new wealth dug from the ground if the amper of labor trouble was not up- on them.
 Ray at Maximum.
 Ray. Superior, Humboldt. and Sasco, the latter three comparatively small producers with a total of around 4.OO0, 900 pounds. are the only camps in the state which will have their normal pro duction They have escaped labor trouble Ray will make between S. 100000 and 9O0O,OO0 pounds for Au- gust. Federal troops sent to this camp promptly when signs of trouble appear ed in June demonstrated the value of preparedness, for the agitators at once ceased operations and there has been no sign of dissatisfaction since. Incidentally, Ray Consolidated may be said to be doing splendid work High, CT efficiency is being constantly achieved in both mining and ore re- duction divisions. The property is as a whole in the very best situation in its history It is one of the Jackiing group.
 Bisbee Improving.
 The Bispee mines have not yet brought their operative forces back to the normal number which prevailed before the strike. Employment goes on carefully, with result that very fine. all American, highly patriotic force is being built up, Copper Queen and Calumet & Arizona are getting out close to normal ore production. Shat tuck is not so well advanced. With its large silver resources as well as its rich copper ores, and with silver steadily advancing. it may prove in the end to have been fortunate that the property was not able to go full tilt on its production at earlier time.
 Every ounce of silver Shattuck has in its mine is today worth g cents more than it was on August l, when silver sold at 80 cents. For several years, Shattuck has been an important ship per of silver, but never really extend ed itself on this production, it being maintained as a side issue mainly in assistance of development Early this year preparations were begun to make large extraction of silver ores, and but for the strike in June this production would probably have been we'll under way by the present time. The ad. vance in silver will be of aid to every copper producer in Arizona, for they all have some silver content in their ores. The Bisbee mines will be the largest gathers, with Globe next and Jerome third

letter says:
We are pretty we'll settled now
and everything is in working order.
Everyone stands the heat pretty well
with the exceptions of a few who be-
came sick because of eating too much
at the different canteens. We have
not had a pay day yet, but are allowed
two dollars credit on our canteen
(credit doesn't last long).
We have been on guard twice since
we have been here. They post little
different guard here. We have to
guard different plants in the city,
such as the water plant, ETC. Our
drill regulations have been changed
and are altogether different now. Ihe
hours are longer, but the drills are
divided up so as not to give the men
too much of one thing, because II you
give a soldier too much of one certain

begin to get sloppy. Our drill so far
has consisted Of bayonet drill, aiming
and sighting, close order, and an hour

MONEY IS RAISED
TO REPAIR ROAD
Plan to Have Man With Team on
Reedsburg-LoganvilIe Highway
All the Time

The macadam road to Loganvllle IS
80 be the first road in the county which
is to be under constant repair.
The plan was worked out the past
week. the money raised, and man
with team hired and put on the job
Through the efforts of Otto Krause
$3.50 was raised in Loganville and
line sum in Reedsburg as an initial
fund to start the ball rolling.
Thist acton was made necessary by
the failure of Sauk county to do it's
share in maintaining the so-called
and much-f1outed permanent road. !"
On the strength of the law that the
county would provide for the up-keep
of the county road system, money has
freely been raised in and around
Reedsburg for permanent road work.
Now, after five or six years expert
ence, the county has utterly failed to
make the necessary provision for the
adequate repair of such roads.
1t has been no little undertaking to
build the macadam road to Loganville
but money for the work has never
been lacking, no matter what the ex-
ause was for it. The road was built
under state engineering and county
supervision, and now after few years
their permanent road is a failure.
1t has washed out, filled with rutS,
holes and about everything bad which
could happen to road. 1t has reach
ed such a point where traffic is I'M
peded and unsafe.
Has Sauk county kept it in repair?
No! This has been one Of the mis-
takes made on all the permanent road
work in the county. Much road work
has been done, but every energy has
been put forth to construct new roads
while those already were left to the
destruction of wind and water until in
many instances they are actually dan
gerous to travel.
If there were more enthusiastic
leaders like Otto Krause, and more
communities with as many loyal pub
lie spirited citizens and business men
as are found in Loganville and Reeds
burg, the road question would soon be
solved, and permanent roads would
no longer be sneer and a by-word,
but a fact and reality. Reedsburg

FIRE AND
AUTO WRECK
Barracks and Stacks on the J. Far
Der Farm Near Lime Ridge
Are Consumed

Two barracks filled with grain, and
several stacks of grain ready for
threshing were burned on the Julius
Farber farm near Lime Ridge on Sep
tember 3. How the fire started is
mystery, for the members of the FAM
ily were all near. A load of oats had
lust been placed in one of the bar
racks and the two boys, or young men
rather. Walter and Alfred Farber, had
climbed to the top of the barrack to
see if they could make room Tor an
other load, when they heard crack
ling noise and it was only by haste
that they climbed out OF the way De-
fore the whole barrack was ablaze
Mr.. Farber himself was working near
and Mrs. Farber had left the place
only a moment before.
Telephone messages soon brought
neighbors for miles around and it is
estimated that in a very short time
fully a hundred farmers were on the
spot working heroically to save the
barn and what grain they could.
Stack canvasses were soaked III
water and hung on the buildings and
kept soaked in water and this method
saved one small stack OF grain. All
the rest was burned. A few loads or
grain were still in the field and the
next day machine pulled in and
threshed what was left.
An auto driven by Paul Franks,
carrying six men Fastening to the fire
was overturned and Claude Lawrence
suffered a broken shoulder, Dan
Franks broken rib and other inter
nal injuries, Reinhold Struck some
severe bruises, Gus Meyer was badly
scratched, while Gus Schuette was
pinned beneath the car where he could
not get out, but was not very badly
hurt, and the driver, Paul Franks,
escaped without injury.
! It is said that between five hundred
and thousand bushels Of grain were
burned. d.--Reedsburg Free Press.

POTATO CROP
At FA|RCHILD

It doesn't look much like potato
famine in the region Of Fairchild, as
one farmer there reports yield Of
416 bushels per acre on two and one
half acres, which he sold at 80 cents
per bushel At that rate it amounted
to s332S0 per acre, of which about
1920 would be net. It is reported that
in that vicinity potatoes this year
will yield approximately 200 bushels
to the acre, on the average. The two
warehouses at Fairchild expect to ship
500 carloads of potatoes, and both
buyers expect them to run from so

NELSON'S SON
NOW FUGITIVE
Had Plenty of Time TO Make Some
Sort of Report, But Did Not
Do So

Prosecution Of Byron Nelson, son
of Congressman John M. Nelson, on
a Stacker charge, is entirely in the
hands of United States District At
torney A. G. Wolfe, as the attorney
general of the United States will not
interfere.
Such is the intimation contained<in
a telegram sent to Wisconsin council
of defense by Attorney General Greg
ory. The telegram follows:
Byron Nelson's case is in the hands
of United States attorney. He was
requested to report the facts, but he
has not been instructed as to disposi-
ton. The government expects every
district attorney to do his duty as he
sees fit. (Signed) Gregory
This telegram is in reply to one
sent few days ago to the state coun-
Gil of defense asking that Nelson be
treated same as other individuals.
NELSON is now fugitive from jus
tice, and will be treated as such,
was the comment of United States
Attorney Wolfe yesterday. "He mad
plenty of time to make some kind OF
a report. However, we have heard
nothing from him, directly or Indirect
Iy. eW will now go after him. He
will be given no further consideration
in any way"
