MUST CONTROL FOOD
 OR THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH 10 60 ROUND

Speaking at a meeting of the state food commissioners and his personal staff, Food Administrator Hoover gave striking explanation of the part food control plays in war.
 He said European nations went in to the war giving little thought to the subject of food. With millions of men taken from production and thou sands of square miles of fertile fields laid waste by armies, the worlds cupboard quickly began to develop a baroness like that of Mother Hub bard's cupboard.
 This made it necessary to organize food supply and distribution, and the various countries tried various meth ods. They fixed maximum prices and minimum prices, regulated the pro duction and distribution trades, and put their people on rations. Those countries which established the earli est and best methods of food control secured the greatest efficiency in war. The best system, on the whole, is still that of Germany, and she has been able to maintain efficiency with a food supply which in some of her en- emy countries might be most embar- rassing. Russia, with perhaps the greatest possibilities of food produc- tion in Europe, did nothing at all, and out of Russia's food situation grew her revolution.
 Whether we like it or not, we must deal with the food problem of war. Either we've got to control the supply of food, he said, or several millions of people will be forced to the verge of starvation.

CAMPAIGNS THIS YEAR

This year, there are three Statewide campaigns in progress. In October. Iowa will vote at a special election ca a constitutional amendment making the State dry. Some years ago, the State Legislature enacted a Prohibit tion law for the State and a succeed ing Legislature enacted what is called "mulet law,' providing that the Prohibition law was not to be enforcel in counties that got up a statutory pc -tition to that effect, securing thereto the signatures of a majority of the vot-. CTS of the county.
 The last Legislature repealed the "mulet law, !" thus leaving in full force and effect the original Prohibitory statute. At the same time, the Legis- lature submitted to the people a con stitutional amendment forever prohib- iting the traffic, which is to be voted on in October.
 At the general elections to be held in November, two more wet States, New Mexico and Ohio, will vote on the State wide dry project. In each of these States, the campaign is now being waged with the utmost fury. In each, the drys are confident of winning but are taking no chances and bending ev- cry possible effort to rolling up as large a majority as possible. Ohio has voted on the measure twice before, but lost c0ch time by small majorities. Each time, the drys were defeated by ab- normal wet majorities in Cincinnati; and Cleveland. Last year, the vets won by a very narrow margin and have little hopes of success again this year.
 BOOSTED BY THE WAR
 The war has given a great impetus to the national dry game. The lesson so well learned in European nations, that alcohol not only makes for inef- feieney in the military operations but also involved an enormous wastage in foodstuffs has made a serious impress sion in America. This idea has been diligently promoted by the Anti-Saloon League organizations with the result that Congress tackled a provision onto the Food Control bill, enacting that after thirty days, the use of foodstuffs in the manufacture of distilled spirits for beverage purposes should cease. It is estimated that this will save to the people over 39,OOO,OOO bushels of grain that formerly has been destroyed annu- ally in the manufacture of beverage spirits.
 At the same time, Congress, in the same Act, authorized the President to take the same action toward malt liquors should he, at any time, deem such an act necessary. If the Presi- dent should use his powers in this di- rection, there would be a further say ing of nearly 7O,OOO,OOO bushels of grain annually as there is more than twice as much grain used up in the manufacture of malt liquors as in the manufacture of spirits
 It is to further arouse the people of Arizona to getting in behind these na. tional movements that the national or ganizatiOn of drys is now conducting these extensive operations in Arizona which has adopted the dry policy and whose aid is now coveted in putting the balance of the nation dry.

STATE CAMPAIGN FOR
 NATIONAL PROHIBITION
Anti Saloon League Orators
 Campaign Arizona
TO HELP MAKE NATION DRY

Phoenix, Ariz. - Ambitious to have Arizona in line in a concerted move ment to promote national Prohibition, the Anti-Saloon League of America is opaniag a campaign that involves a national Prohibition rally in every town and city in the State during the next two months.
 To open this campaign, one of the strongest workers in the League, MT. Edward H. Daley, has just arrived in Phoenix to negotiate the necessary arrangements and make the dates. The opening gun will be fired in Phoenix on September 9, Dr. Louis Albert Banks being the speaker. For some years, Dr. Banks has been one of the strongest advocates on the League s big roll of spellbinders and he will speak, following the Phoenix date. with an address in every large city in the State, speaking continually until October. Following the Banks rallies, AIr. Daley will continue speak ing in the State for two months to cone.
 The speakers expect to reach every citizen of the State, presenting the project of national Prohibition, for which the 26 dry States have banded themselves together to promote. The remaining wet States are having trou- blss of their own and, for this reason, the nationwide campaign is being pushed in the States that have out lawed the saloons and so know the benefits of the dry policy.
 AN ORGANIZED CAMPAIGN
 By a vote of approximately two to one, the United States Senate recently voted to submit to the States an amendment to the Federal constitution forever prohibiting the liquor traffic, which amendment must be ratified by the States within six years to be ef- fective The same measure is now pending in the House of Representa- tives, which must pass the measure by a two-thirds vote in order to make it effective.
