SITUATION IS DISCUSSED
 BY M ARTHUR
MANAGER OF STATE CON- SERVATION CA M PAIGN ASKS LOCAL PEOPLE TO AID IN ELIMINATING ALL FORMS OF WASTE.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The greatest problem in America today is that of food conservation or rather food substitution" said Warren McArthur, IT,, manager of the State food campaign for the United States food administration in pledge card work. Mir McArthur is devoting his of this work and in making his plea to the men and women of Prescott yes ierday he said in part:
 Our problem Is to feed our Allies this Winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concen- trated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork. dairy products and sugar. Our solution Is to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods. Mir. Hoover has urged that at least one wheatless meal a day be observed. Use corn, oat. rye, barley or mixed cereal rolls, mullins and breads in place of white bread certainly for one meal and ii possible for two. Eat less cake and pastry.
 The men of the Allied nations are fighting: they are not on the farms. The production of food by these countries has therefore been greatly reduced. Even before the war the production was much less than the amount consumed. The difference came from America and few other countries. Now this difference Is greater than ever and, at the same time, but little food can be brought m from the outside except from Am erica. Therefore, our Allies depend on America for food as they have never depended before, and they ask us for it with right which they have never had before. For today they are our companions in the great wal for democracy and liberty. They are doing the fighting, the suffering and dying in our war And ii will not be long before our boys are in the battle fields and the very small part that we can do is to help to feed them with the food they should have"
 Mir. AIcArthur dwelt upon the food situation at length and 1t IS to be re- grettcd that every man, woman and child in Prescott did not hear his re- marks.
 The food pledge card campaign will close on November 4th, and active work will be taken up in Yavapai county during the next few days. School superintendents have been re quested to lend their help. This cam. paign will not be conducted through the school children, 1t means house. toulouse canvass. r. L.
