with an old gentle COW pony and a
mad muley COW out on his Catalina
ranch at the roundup the other day

up nose and broken right arm.
Ben was roping the cow to get her
out of some brush, when the COW
took a run at the horse and punted
him in the belly. Instead of the
horse running as expected to do, he

Must Help the Allies

Washington, Oct. 24.- France
faces a very serious food shortage
in the near future unless America
comes to the rescue with shiploads
of wheat Immediately, French Off
cials declared here today.
The American government, the
food administration points out, did

American steamships of 2, 500 tons
or over. The food administration
feels it is now up to the 22 900, 900
housewives of America to fill up
some of these ships with wheat
by using a pound less wheat -four
per week for every member of their
households.
The situation in Francois worse
than had been thought, said a
food administration official. We
should not wait for food pledge
week, October 28 to November 4
to begin this saving. We should
begin now.
!. France certainly needs wheat,
at once, We hundred million
Americans must make up from our
short supply the wheat shortage OF
France and our other allies. There
is call for every one of us to do
his utmost.
Whea+, however. is only part
of the problem. 1t is equally vital
that we conserve all meat, fats and
sugar If each of us will eat an
ounce less meat, an ounce less fat
an an ounce less sugar a day Our
allies wont go hungry.
We must make up this short
age. No other country can do it. y

PROFOUND a problem by means of

his own satisfaction whether he
was a superior person." The
average person, he said, never

superior practical ability succeeds.
Here is the problem:
A man has two pals. one of
which holds exactly five quarts and
the other exactly three quarts, He
is sent to the river to bring back
exactly seven quarts of water, no
more, no less. With only the five
quart pail and the three quart pail
how can he measure exactly seven
quarts?

The resolution passed by
thh joint houses Of Congress
relative to the elimination OF
assessment work on mining
claims for the years 1917 and
1918 has caused many pros
pectorS to wonder just what
the process should be in
properly filing and recording
their intention to hold the
claims. The resolution stated
that the claimant must file
notice of his desire to hold
said claim under this reSolu-
ton on or before December
81 of each of the years. The
Arizona State Bureau of Mines
in anticipation of this posi-
bic confusion on the part of
the prospector, has issued

Admitting that conditions

Admitting that conditions

of the men is concerned, Gen.
Leonard Wood has informed
Governor Campbell that 5000
troops from Arizona, New
Mexico and Colorado will be
sent to Linda Vista, Cal, as

information came to the gov
ernor in the form Of a tele-;

plying to the suggestion of
the executive that if possible
the Arizona troops be re-
moved to Linda Vista, where
the climate conditions are
more nearly like those of Arl-
zona than they are at Fort
Riley. Governor Campbell is
pleased toelearn of their early
removal to California, for he
believes this is but the fore
runner of the ultimate con-
Solidation OF the Arizona Sc.

bers of the First Arizona In

Another concern has probably sold
more than three times as many cans

What does all this mean? 1t is the

food supply will not give out. It is
the assurance that Abe bank account
