FOOD CAMPAIGN
Is POSTPONED
Hoover Pledges Will Not be So
licited Until Weeh of Oct.
2Sth to November 5:h

President Wilson, in letter to Mr..
Hoover, federal food administrator,
Washington, D. c., requested the post
ponement of the Hoover pledge cam
paign for one week. This delay was
asked because of the Liberty Loan
campaign, and Mr.. Hoover promptly
accepted the week of October % to
November s., when the "pledge drive"
will occur. .E f.
~ shall be glad" President Wilson
wrote to Mr.. Hoover, eff you would
convey to all Of your staff my feelings
of the prime Importance of their plans
and their work. / wish particularly
to express my great appreciation of
the services which this additional tax
on their time will impose upon the
many thousand volunteers who have
already deferred their own concerns to
public interest in this important
work."
: Charles Hebberd, of Spokane, fed
eral food administrator for this state,
has completed his plans for the cam
paign in Washington. There will be
a preliminary "drive" by the school
children. Each school in the state
will be supplied with pledge cards to
be distributed among the school child
rem. The children will take these cards
to their homes and secure signatures.
1t is expected that rs per cent of the
in this state will be OBJ
tanned in this way. This campaign
in the schools will be conducted on the
original dates, October II to %. The
general canvass by the county coun-
ellis of defense will be held during Oct
ober % to November 5, a postpone
ment of one week as requested by the
president. Administrators Hebberd's
plans provide for personal visit,
either thru the school or the county
councils of defense of every household
in the state.

BEGIN SPRAYING AS
SOON AS APPLES ARE OFF
Best Time to Get After Woody Aphis
is Before the Leaves Fall,
Says Powell

Fall spraying while it will not abb
solutely kill all the woody aphis, will
greatly aid in their control, especially
if the orchard is badly infested. The
best results can be obtained in spray
ing the trees as soon as the fruit is
picked, before the leaves fall, with
driving spray, using the following for
mula:
Lime, a to 6 pounds, "Black Leaf
40" 1A pints, water, 200 gallons.
Take A to pounds of rock lime,
slack same, then put into the tank with
the Black Leaf and water. Do not
use air Stacked lime.
I would urge those orchardists who
have much scale in their orchards to
spray them this fall, as soon as the
leaves have fallen, very thoroly with
sulphur lime at a 3-degree strength.
If you do thoro job, it will answer
for next springs spraying with sui
phur lime. However, if you have bad
dose of scale, it would be well to spray
again next spring. The spray is just
as effective in the fall as in the spring.
The idea Of the spring spraying is to
hit the spots that were missed in the
fall.
By adding " pints of "Black Leaf
40" to the 200-gallon tank Of 3-degree
sulphur lime, you can control the scale
and large percentage of the woody
aphis. This spraying should be put
on after the leaves fall. At this time
many of the woody aphis have migrat-
ed down to the roots and others have
flown away to live on other trees for
the winter. However, many will be
left on the trees and all that you kill
at this time will help you that much
to control them next season.
Do not add any soaps or oils to the
above solutions. Select good warm
days to do the work. Use driving
spray.
Do a thoro job!

And the Boy Got 1t

A hungry traveller put his head out
of a car window as his train pulled up
at a small station, and said to a boy:
"Here, boy, take this dime and get
me sandwich, will you? And, by
the way, here's another dime. Get a
sandwich for yourself, too"
The boy started away and returned,
munching sandwich, just as the train
was starting off. He ran to the trav-
eler, handed him dime, and said:
Heres yer dime back, boss. They
only had one sandwich left

CHARLESTON DAM
Citizens Meet and Prepare
to Launch Boosting
Campaign

A meeting of citizens was held at
the high school building last Sat
urday evening, for the purpose Of
launching a campaign to secure the
building of the Charleston Dam.
The meeting was called to order
by Prof. Robertson, who explained
its object, and then stated his
views to the effect that in his opin-
ion the time is ripe for making an
effort to secure this important en-
terprise.
Several talks were made and the
general opinion expressed coincid
ed with the views of the chairman,
and it was agreed and understood
that the movement is now on for
securing the dam.
A committee of investigation was
elected consisting of Messrs. H. O.
Robertson, Fl w. Etz and Fl. G.
Brown, to secure data on the sub
ject and report.
Farm advisor A, l. Parchall, in
a short talk expressed his approval
of the movement, and offered what
ever aid within his power.
The meeting adjourned to meet
at the call of the chairman, within
the near future.

The Box Canyon Route

The Southern Pacific has again
taken up the project of securing a
line through the box canyon of the
Gila, Christmas to San Carlos, and
has asked commercial bodies inter
ested in the building of main line
through this section, to get behind
the movement. Announcement to
this effect came from c. M. Scott,
superintendent of the Arizona Eas-
tern, in an address to members of
the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce,
last week. There are two surveys
through the box canyon of the Gila-
on the low line and one on the high
line It is understood that the Sou
thern Pacific is seeking to secure a
right of way along the low line,
which would be far less expensive
to construct, and if this can be Sc
cured, work will be begun immedi-
ately. The building of this connect
ing link will be of incalculable i'm
portance to this district, asst would
not only place us on the main line
and in direct communication with
the large shipping centers, but it is
highly probable that Winkelman
will be made a division point. The
fact that the project is being reviv-
ed at this time, with what seems to
be good prospects of success is an
other indication of the recognition
that is being given this district by
the big interests of the country

THE LAW UPHELD
u. S. Supreme Court Holds
Webb-KenyOn Law
Constitutional

Washington, Jan. 8.-The Webb
Kenyon law, designed to prevent
liquor shipments from wet" to
dry states, was today declared
constitutional by the Supreme Court
by vote of 7 to q.
The court also upheld West Vir-
ginia' S prohibition amendment pro-
hibiting citizens from receiving
liquor for personal use, shipped
by common\ carriers in interstate
commerce.
1t was announced that Justice
McReynolds concurred in the deci-
sion but not completely in the opin-
ion.
Justices Holmes and Vandeven-
ter were the two dissenting Justices.
The all-reaching power of
government over liquor is settled, =
said the chief justice, in announc-
ing the decision.
There was no intention of CON
gress to forbid individual use of
liquor. The purpose of this act
was to cut out by the roots the prac-
tice of permitting violation of state
liquor laws. We can have no doubt
that congress has complete authori-
ty to prevent paralyzing of state
authority. Congress exerted a pow
er to coordinate the national with
the state authority.
Attorneys for national liquor or
ga1lizations who were in court said
the decision upholds and applies
the Webb Kenyon law 'sin its
+broadest sense"
Wayne f. B. Wheeler, counsel
for the Anti Salaon League Of
America who with Fred Blue, state
prohibition commissioner of West
Virginia, argued the case before
the court, made his statement on
the courts decision.
The states may now prohibit
the possession, receipt, sale and use
of Intoxicating liquor and not to be
hampered by the agencies of inter
state commerce"
Atty. Gen. Wyhe~E. Jones, was
this afternoon advised by telegram
from Washington of the decision of
the Supreme Court in the case. :.
