 |S ANNOUNCED
Whole Nation Will Be Held
 Indefinitely to Their Ob- ligation to Save Is Notice
 Received From Hoover

Late yesterday afternoon tele- gram was received by State Food Ad ministrator Timothy A. Riordan from National Food Administrator Hoover, announcing that the food pledge card idea is to be maintained as perma- nent institution throughout the union. It has been an immense success, though the figures of the weeks drive for signatures will not be available for several days to come.
 The food administration has great plans afoot under which every house. wife in the nation will become a mem Der of a great army that will be bat ting at home to preserve the honor and integrity of her land to maintain the food supply of her children and of the armies that are serving at the front Details of the great plan are not contained in the wire received here
 Phoenix will lead all cities of Ari- zona in her food pledge card enroll ment Up to the close of business hours last night, there had been turned in 3,414 signed cards together with cards representing 96 persons who had failed or refused to sign It is felt by
 
 might have been avoided had the prop ositiOn been understood.
 This is a remarkably small opposi- tion, however, less than per cent of the supporting signatures. A few lieu tenants still are to be heard from. Sev- era1 of the captains yesterday made a second canvass, covering homes that had been missed or in which there had been misunderstanding and were most successful Tn securing signatures where the first visit had not been fruitful.
 Tempe has sent in a lot of 510 cards Mesa a partial list of 800; Wtckenburg 54. Alhambra 99 Valley Heights Is, Pendergast so, Cashion r, Indepen- dence 20, Osborne 366, Madison 135. Roosevelt 129, Grand Avenue IS. Isaac 59, Chandler, partial, 50. Inns gives a present total of 5,744, of which the country has 2,330, already passing it's estimated quota.
 Reports received by State Manager Warren McArthur tell of fine effort all over Arizona. At Globe there was es- peclally good work only i've or six householders having refused to. sign. inc total enrolment was about 1900. OWlng to a large foreign population, there was hardly this degree of success at Miami, but a delegation of business men reinforced the solicitors and all ready have signed up 800 individuals. They propose to keep at II till the whole camp is covered.
