THIRTY TONSOF
 VALUABLE FOOD
 SAVED|N MONTH
How the Arizona Chef Saves

More than 30 tons of meats, wheat | and sugar was the saving effected dur ing the month of November by the | hotels and restaurants of Arizona. | The figures were announced today by M. T. Grier, chairman of the hotel and | restaurant committe eOf the food ad- 1 ministration for Arizona. They are based on answers to a questionnaire which was sent out from the head quarters of the committee to all eat ing establishments in the state.
 How much wheat did you save through the observance of Wheatless day?
 How much meat did you save through the observance of Meatless day?
 How much sugar did you save in compliance with the suggestion to cut your normal consumption in two?''
 These were the questions asked the restaurant proprietors following let ter sent out some time ago by the committee asking every establishment to keep a careful record of the weight of the commodities saved. And while the totals do not represent the amounts now being saved, as the meatless and wheatless days were but partially ob- served during November, the showing
 
 skeptical that the patrons as well as the homogeneous of the hotels and restaurants of Arizona are doing their bit in the general conservation pro- | gram.
 Timothy A. Riordan, federal food ad- ministrator for Arizona, expressed himself as highly pleased with the first report as to the savings effected | through the hotel organization.
 If the general public has followed the food conservation program to the same degree of fullness as that indl- cated in these figures, the total saving ! in Arizona for this single month will have amounted to several tens of thousands of dollars he said
 The report as compiled by Mir. Grier was wired to Washington to be used in making up a national report covering | the same points. It is the intention of | the food administration to receive these reports monthly from the various states, thereby affording an interesting comparison, one state with another as well as of the gains made from | month to month.

WINTERS ARE SAME
 AS MANY YEARS AGO
(TIartford Courant.)

Despite the fixed belief of many that, 50 or 75 years ago, winter began be- fore Thanksgiving day and lasted until near Easter, it is not difficult to ac- cumulate testimony to show that the old days brought as many mild Wln- ters as they did severe ones. One bit of evidence which a Courant man has seen recently is q note book kept by farmer named Knowles, who lived at Point Judith, R. l.. and which ran from 179S until 1880 or whereabouts.
 Besides being something of moral ist, MT. Knowles was an observant man who measured his growing corn on July 1 of each year and jotted down the height of the stalks, thus showing whether the season had been carly or late, and who made an entry whenever a body washed ashore on the point, to be given Christian burial by the near by farmers. So it happened that he wrote on January l. ll09, that he found in his stackyard that day "a mushroom of two or three days growth and as large as a teacup." He added that the weather had been very moder- ate.
 So. too. in January 1923, he noted that he had plowed on his farm for the greater part of the month and that the month was the most moderate one of its name that he had ever eXperi- enced. thus indicating that it was more mild than January, 1l99. the month in which he found the mushroom. These two Januaries, it will be seen, are suf- ficiently remote to be well within the old fashioned winter period and will serve to show it's mythical character If there are still persons who cling to it they are invited 10 produce the dates of some killing frost which struck this vicinity at an earlier date than that of this month. The production of such a record would aid in establishing the era in which old fashioned winters | were common.

MOUNT RAINIER IS

Mount Rainier is the center of one of Uncle Sams newest national parks. to which it has given it's name. It is a living volcano two craters on it's sum- init still pouring forth steam and gas Although it has hal no eruption in the memory Of man. at some time in it's history-before it Was reduced to it's present comparative docility-it gave itself mighty shake and blew off some 1000 or 5000 feet of the cone which once formed it's crease. The mountain as it is today has compar- atively flat top, which is broken by the two craters, but it bears four sum- mits. The highest Columbia Crest once thought to be the highest point in the Union, reaches an altitude of 14.40S fee&
 Because of the fact that the temper ature is always below freezing the top of the mountain is covered with drift ing snows. The glaciers do not begin to form till at d point some 2,000 feet below the craters, where the heat of the sun begins to melt the drifts. There are six glaciers that stream away from the summit Cowitz and the Emrons are the largest, each measuring six miles in length. The Emmons covers eight square miles of ground and makes q continuous descent from the summit to the base. the crater rim hav- ing almost completely broken down under it's heavy snow cascades.

How To Clean Up Ticks IN One Year

Waynesboro News Beacon
You taxpayers OF Wayne county
are paying Tor the CONSTRUCTION OF
the dipping yats for the medicine
that is placed in them and YOU also
pay the salary of the Inspector who
supervises the dipping, and If you do
not dip all your cattle regularly and
eradicate the tick this year, you will
have 10 do it next year and to pro-
..ong the work means more taxes for
you folks who already have just about
all you can do,
Let us all work with that end in.
So, you cattle owners. you men who
have the cattle, they are your cattle,
they are your ticks and il is up to
every man in Wayne county who
owns cattle to see that they are all
dipped regularly and let us all work
to have the quarantine raised from
Wayne county this year.

EDITORIAL

The war effects many things
The National Editorial Association
which meet this year in Minneapolis,
MINI, July gil had planned an eS-
tensive trip through North western
Canada aud had persisted in putting
through the Trip despite the declara-
ton of war existing between this
country and Germany. Canada was
anxious TO have the American editors
come right on and view her magniti-
cent scenery aud proposed many ex
ceilent features for their entertain
ment and pleasure but just few days
ago the U. 5. government anCoun-
ced that it would not permit any of
the railroads in this country TO trans
port the party Ia the canadian Dor
der. No reason was given but it's
not hard to connect this with the
recent estopment of numbers of
young men who were slipping out OF
this country across into Canada os-
tensibiy to escape registration.

These bonds are issued to equip our

Bankers and Brokers
Show Fine Patriotism

When your banker or your broker
encourages you to buy United States
Liberty Bonds, don't make the mis-
take OF thinking that he has any self
ish motives. The fact Is that he does
not make any commission whatever
by selling these war bonds. On the
contrary, all the work that banker
or broker undertakes in connection
with United States Liberty Bonds il
at his own expense.
Seldom has any class of business
men shown finer patriotism than that
exhibited in recent weeks by the bank
ers and brokers. The federal govern
ment is under great obligations to
them for the high spirit of public duty
they have shown. for the enthusiasm
they have manifested in familiarizing
the public with United States Liberty
Bonds and in encouraging people to
buy
II you have not yet ordered your
I'm ed States Liberty Bonds, see your
banker or your broker today. And re-
member that in handling your order

can honor and for the permanence of
