BEANS TO FIGHT BULLETS

In the campaign of Every Scout to Feed Soldier it has been found that the Boy Scouts of America and the agricultural department at Washing ton fitted and worked together like . wheel and its axle-a well-cared-for wheel, that is, and one working with out a squeak or a groan.
 It was early learned that the effi- ciency of our fighters now in France will depend upon a constant and sufia- cient supply of American food. One of the first things our men discovered was that the Continental breakfast" would not last them until the next meal. Habits of eating cannot be changed quickly. Accustomed foods are best. And this necessity and this logic have brought the American bean to the front as an aid to the American soldier.
 the American food committee of the council of national defense, advises that there is a great shortage of beans in Europe and that there is no more nutritious food upon which the Boy Scouts can concentrate their efforts. . A delegation of the scouts were among the first to greet MT. Hoover, upon his arrival in this country from his relief work in the battle-racked countries of Europe, to report the progress of the members in their work as his aides.
 The scouts were able to report that in response to MT. Hooyer's cablegram urging the increased production of beans, activities had been inaugurated in all parts of the country.
 The report showed that thousands of gardens have been started. and in many cases as many as POO to BOG acres are under cultivation by groups of Boy Scouts.
 Mir. James E. West, chief scout exec utiTe, has received telegram from Mir. B. T. Galloway, assistant to the secretary of agriculture. strongly ap.

 TAX CONFERENCE

C. Nj. Zander, chairman of the state tax commission; Charles R. Howe and Rudolph Kuchler, mem- bers of the commission, have been appointed by Governor Campbell as delegates to the eleventh annual conference on taxation to be held under the auspices of the National Tax association at Atlanta. Ga, No vember 1916. c. E. Gentry, as sessor of Cochise county and James H. Kirby, assessor of Greenlee coun- ty. have been named as alternates. An initial move is to be made at this conference for model system of taxation which it is hoped that the various states may be led to draw upon from time to time, thus carry ing out a much-needed corporations towards uniformity of taxation and an abandonment of conflict due to overlapping jurisdiction. A compre- hensive discussion of the problems of securing efficiency and care in the making of local assessments will be considered by a group of the most ex- perienced tax administrators in the country. The present decided trend toward income taxation by the states will be thoroughly discussed by the leading experts in that particular field.

l,OOO SLACKERS IN AR|z. ACCORDING
 ID ESTIMATES
Breen Makes Public Information as To Position of the State.

There are more than 1000 slacxers ill Arizona.
 While no definite figures were this morning available in the office of Col. Fred s. Rreen, in Phoenix, d. rectly in charge of the draft work in this state, he announced that tine above figure is very conservative estimate of the number of men who have failed to respond to the sum- mons of local boards.
 A large per cent of these slackers are Mexican and other alien resi- dents, it was pointed out. In many instances, these men have failed to report because 9f their misunde-- standing of the draft regulations. It is believed that not more than 15 or 20 per cent of the total number of siackers are Americans.
 The number of deserters in the state is approximately 250, according ro the announcement this morning Men of this classification are subject 10 court r tial, and upon rcnv,c- tion, to the Gt Pth penalty.
 Slackers become deserters, it was stated. If they fail to report 70 local boards after being notified by Col. Brcer.
 As soon as stacker is officially reported to the state disbursirg off cer, he is personally notified to re- port at hs local board. If within a period of five days. he fails to report, he is recorded as deserter.
 Approximately 300 such notifica- tions have already been mailed by Colonel Brten, to which he has re- ceived replies from about 50. The remaining number have been posted in the records as deserters.

 MT. Galloway says: Let every Boy Scout do his best. In the language of the president, let him consider him. self @ soldier of the eolnmissary."
 With the aid of Mf. H. c. Benson, detailed by the department of agricul- ture; Ar. Hal B. Fullerton of the Long Island railroad. known as the chief grub scout, and the help and O. arrangement Of thousands ef other mon in the United States, great strides have been made in the campaign to Increase the 1917 crop.
 In various parts of the country Boy Scouts, in addition to taking pert in arouse public interest and thought aG to the seriousness of the situation. In many places monster pnrades and dem onstrations have taken place, the scouts carrying hoes, rakes and other garden implements and displaying ap- proprlately worded placards.
 Col. Theodore Roosevelt, when asked For an expression of opinion regarding the drive which the Boy Scouts of America are making to increase bean production, wrote: My dear Mr. West: l cordially ,ndorse what MT. Hoover has said about the scouts. We should eliminate all waste and stimu- late food production at every point. 1 think MT. Hoover's suggestion that the scouts should take as their own prov. ince the stimulation of bean produc- lion is particularly good. Let each scout start 8 garden and thereby help feed the soldiers"
 AS an instance Of the readiness of scouts to respond to such call it is reported that within forty minutes aft CT orders for their mobilization were issued, 200 Boy Scouts from Albany. N. r., and vicinity, many of whom were called from their dinner tables. assembled at the city hall aud were formally offered to the city.
 It is expected that many af the va cant lots throughout the city which aave been offered by patriotic citizens will be worked by the scouts. The scouts have already formed summer agricultural camps te aid in the har- vests.

 Here, of course, is where the Red Triangle workers can accomplish Won- ders in the way of protection with their myriads of huts back of the lines and at the front, where the boys can get together in leisure hours and play, box, wrestle, and write letters home and read. And, as MT. Eddy pointed out, the majority of them will come to Y. M. C. A. hut when off duty if one is available in preference to wandering the streets and hang ing about the saloons.
 Regarding the $35,OOO,OOO that the National War Work Council of the Y. M. c. A. have asked the people of this country to subscribe that the Red Triangle service may be extended and carried on during the winter and coming spring, MT. Eddy said. Sure ly 1t IS not too much to spend one- fifth of one per cent of the vast amount going into destruction by our nation this year for the great con- structive forces to minister to our soldiers and those of the Allied na- tions? It would not seem too much when we consider the larger num- bers involved to expect one-fourth as much .f for the three-fold work of the Red Triangle as was given in 8 week for the Red Cross. If we send our troops abroad with the most cost ly equipment, averaging more than $130 per man, surely we can spend from one to ten dollars for the phvsi-

MORAL DANCER AS.
 GREAT AS GERMAN
Returned War Worker Says Men Must HaSe Wholesome Recreation

Boston, Nov. 14.-That the coming winter and the succeeding six months will be the most destructive and ter rlble of the war was the prediction made by George Sherwood Eddy, as- sociate general secretary, information al committee, of the Young Mems Christian Association, and former sec retary for India. who for twenty years has labored for Y. M. C. A. in- forests in the Orient, upon his ar rival i'll Boston as one of the opening speakers tonight in the great and nation wide campaign of the Y. M. c. A. Red Triangle War fund to raise $35, 100000 for the continuation of it's work among the fighting men.
 Having only recently returned from "a tour that completely covered the European war zone, MT. Eddy is most jealous supporter of the War Councils plans for the extension of its field, and easily waxes eloquent over the wonderful opportunities that await development.
 Our soldiers abroad are facing great physical hardships and great moral dangers-greater than anyone in the homeland can realize," said MT. Eddy, earnestly No words can PASIuIC W1ldI IL 1u0duS LO spend q winter in the trenches in the cold and rain and mud. No one at home here knows the awful shock of battle and the strain of bursting shells, the menace of poison gas stealing through the darkness. I have passed down long rows of cots in wards of the hospitals of men suffering from the last gas attack; I have seen them burned from head to foot Rllt" " he continued, the moral dangers that confront our men in that far off coun- try are greater still, for the soldiers of the United States are paid more than those of any other nation at war and become the natural prey, in con- sequence, of the thousands of har pies who literally infest the most populous towns.''
 While every new account of Ger man frightfulness on land or sea is given wide publicity, and arouses new determination in the hearts of red-blooded Americans to fight on until the world is free forever of mill itary peril and despotism, compara- lively little space or attention has been given to the ravages of an even deadlier foe, which for months has been eating it's way into the ranks of the Allies with far more serious con- sequences.
 "Imagine" MT. Eddy went on, "a thousand healthy, happy, reckless and irrepressible American youths placed in French village, without a single place of amusement, unless it Is a drinking hall; and no social life, save the girls in the doorways and on the street corners. Think of these men
