u. s. TAKES OVER
ALL SHIPYARDS
Government Also Requisi-
tions Nearly 700 Vessels
Under Construction
WILL RULE ON CONTRACTS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.
The Shipping Board has telegraphed or
ders to more than score OF the country's
largest shipyards requisitoning all ships of
$500 deadweight tonnage or more now build
ing Management of the yards will be In
the hands of the present owners, but under
Government direction.
About 675 ships are affected by the Gov
ernments order. Their aggregate tonnage
is more than 100000. Included are many
English Norwegian and other vessels on
foreign account
The shipyards and owners of the vessels
will receive compensation for the construc-
tion work on them so far. The Government
will take over the contracts and expedite
completion of the ships in order to make
room for more emergency vessels to over
come submarine losses.
Speed will be accompanied by addition of
overtime labor additional shifts and elimi-
nation of unnecessary uxuries of construc-
tion and equipment. The Governments
ready access to steel and other shipping
material makes the problem simple as COM
pared with the drawbacks the private build
ers faced. it is said
The Government henceforth will rule on
every large ship contract for private ac-
count, even for repairs. BY the requistion-
ing orders the yards came virtually under
Government control, and the countrys en-
tire shpbuildlng industry Is now in the
Governments hands
In n short time scores of new ships will
be added to Americas merchant marine
by the requistioning order Some of the
ships seized are more than 60 per cent
finished.
The communicating program will cost
upward of $125,000.o00. A large sum also
has been reserved by the Shipping Board for
requisitioning completed ships now sailing
under the American flag. This will be done
later. If more funds are needed before the
program Is finished they will be taken from
the additional $500, 100000 appropriation
Congress is confidently expected to vote the
ShipDing Board.

Great Festival
 Planned Needles

Needles, our sister city on the bank of the Colorado river, is planning on big three day season of festivities commencing Thanksgiving Day, No vember 29, and continuing the two days following.
 The 1917 Fall Festival is what the celebration is called, and will be the most pretentious affair ever attempt ed in this part of the Southwest.
 Features of the three-day program will be baseball series between four teams, automobile races, field sports and other events.
 Cash prizes aggregating S12OO will be offered.
 One of the big features will be a day of Indian games, in which several tribes will probably participate. A special committee on Indian events has been appointed, and the aim of this body will be to revive the famous Indian games of the past for this oc- casion.
 Needles invites the entire South west to be her guests for the three days, and the entertainment and re- ception committees will do all in their power to make the visitors feel at home.

.GRAFINITE IS NEW
 TIRE PREPARATION

Grafinite, which is a specially pre- pared form of graphite, has many unique and wonderful qualities. It is absolutely light proof. As we learned in school, anything that appears black is impervious to light - there is nothing blacker than grafinite It is almost impossible to destroy gra- phite or make 1t change its form. It is made up of particles so small that, under sufficient pressure, it can be forced through glass.
 The many invaluable properties of grafinite suggested its use as a coat ing for automobile inner tubes. Tubes coated with grafinite are absolutely protected from light, which is one of the chief things that deteriorate rub Der.
 The Savage Tire Company is the only company to put out a tube with grafinite yulcanized into it's surface. The process employed was perfected only by considerable experimental work It IS a unique manufacturing feature and the Savage Tire Company was granted basic patents on it.

S2OO,0OO WORTH OF AUTOS WILL RACE
 AT THE STATE FAIR

Speed cars representing a total value of S200,000 will contest in the professional automobile races which will be held at the State Fair, Novem- Der 12-17. From the list of cars and drivers already entered in the races, which will be held under the sanction of the International Motor Contests Association, there is every reason to believe that some of the dirt track records will receive severe jolt.
 Naturally, the interest will center on the monster Blitzen Benz No. 2, the wotld's greatest speed creation. This is the record smashing car that the late Bob Burman drove a mile in 25 1-5 seconds at Ormond Beach, Florida, and the car that Burman predicted, before his death at Corona, California, would be the 'HThree- -Mile-a-Minute" car of the future. The Blitzen Benz No. will exhibit it's speed here with the worlds greatest dirt track driver, "Wild Bill" Endicott driving his Sweeney Special" against Lampkin, using his special built 120 h. p. Dus- enberg, and the half dozen other events and speed exhibitions, lovers of the speed game may look forward to a real treat.

OF ARIZONA
 URGED TD SUPPORT
 FOOD CONSERVATION

Governor Campbell and State Food Commissioner Riordan have issued a joint proclamation calling upon the people of Arizona to support the campaign to conserve food and all supplies which might be of service to the army. The proclamation follows A Plea to the HOusehOlders of Arizona
 by the Governor of Arizona and \the
 United States Food Administrator
 for Arizona.
 Short food production, wasteful food consumption, the sinking of food ships and the hoarding of sustenance com modities by interruptions human vul- lures, are draining our food reserves, needed for the maintenance of our our fighting forces of land and sea and those of the valiant allies, whose countries lack normal owing to shortage of man power.
 The winning of the war is largely a problem as to which si3e can best and most quickly organize the stimu- lation of production, reduction of waste and control of food prices.
 We must meet this demand, which it is beyond our capacity to do, unless every unnecessary consumption, every unnecessary waste, is reduced to the last degree.
 Here is an opportunity fOA every man, woman and child to do their part to win the war. Here is the one place in which we all can serve.
 The need of food price control is proof of insufficient food production. We, and with us the allies, must CO., operate or collapse.
 Arizona supports over sixty-one thousand families. The United States food administrator for Arizona has promised United States Food Admin Hoover that he will pledge forty thousand families in this state to the elimination of waste and the of foods during war time Since Arizona is in this competition of saving and service with all the states in the Union, much dependence must be placed in a prompt response to this call for personal sacrifice on the part of all our people.
 We must begin now and substitute those foods which will release wheat, meats, fats and sugar for shipment to our countryrfien and allies who are dying in the trenches that we may en- joy the blessings of liberty.
 Your attention is therefore called to the importance of the Conservation Pledge Card campaign, running from October 2S to November 4. During that week drive will be made by our home army for food conservation and Join the drive. Assist with your time and influence.
 First, put your own house in or der and then Bindle in the homes of others the thought that frugality in the use If food and prevention of waste of foodstuffs is of paramount as a state and national duty.

 Governor. (Signed) TIMOTHY A. RIORDAN.
