HOMESTEADS IN GREAT
 DEMAND FOR RANGES
(From Thursdays DsilyD

An average of one grazing home stead a day is the record of filings in the office of United States Commis- sioner F. l.. Haworth lately-a show ing that is in keeping with the dc mand on the United States land office at Phoenix for this class of public land
 That the States public domain will be appreciably lessened within the first year of operation of the grazing homestead law, signed only last De- cember by President Wilson, IS Mir. Haworth's prediction.
 Soon after the first publication of the news of the bill becoming law, a flood of orders and inquiries began to pour in to the land office, and all com plying the blanks and taking filings. It was held by the larger cattle grow CTS at the time the law became effect i've. that Arizona would witness no mad rush to take mp the homesteads. New Mexico, for instance, they said, would offer far more attractive field for such filings, because GAO acres in that State would support a family easily, while the same amount Of grazing land in this State would re- turn its holder much less than a de- cent living.
 This prediction is not borne out by the demand for the enlarged home steads. It is said that the operation of the law will result in a great multi plication of the number of cattle growers, operating on a comparative ly small scale, but in the aggregate, building up the livestock industry and hence the wealth of the community.

ROUTES BETWEEN TWO
 CITIES TO BE SURVEYED
From Wednesdays Daily.


 Frank s. Whiting, official scout for the Automobile Blue Book. now en- gagged in logging the Borderland route between Fl Paso and Phoenix, will also survey and record the highways between Prescott and the capital, ac cording to a letter received at the chamber of commerce yesterday from R. A. Woodall, editor of the official publications of the American Automo- bile Association. A copy of the 1916 Blue Book was received yesterday and placed on file for the benefit of motor ists of this section.
 Each year, the Blue Book tries to gather and compile all new data on the road system of the United States, in order to bring up to date its tourist guide department. This is especially valuable to Arizonans, for with a new and very incomplete highway system, there are frequent changes of route that should be called to the attention Of the traveller As new permanent highways are added-especially in the States west of the Mississippi, the Blue Book records them. For in stance, in order to obtain the very latest improvements and changes be- fore going to press, the Blue Book sent two experienced surveyors to make three months study of the trunk and connecting lines west of Chicago, covering in addition to the regular maps, general information re- garding equipment and supply centers for automobile necessaries, points of interest to the tourist, etc. The sur veys are conducted by automobile, so the road logging crews get the view point of the motorist

ATTENTION, WOMEN
OF AMERICA!
(Thomas F. Logan, in Leslie's.)

In most literal sense, the women
of the country are enlisted for the
endurance of the war" More than
ever before, however, they will pre-
sent an organized front. Herbert C.
Hoover, selected as head of the pros
pective department of food admins
tration, looks to the housewives of
America to do their bit by eliminat-
ing waste. ut is the idea of the food
administration" says Mr.. Hoover,
ito ask every woman who presides
over a household to come in as an
sctual member of the food admins
tration." Miss Jeanette Rankin, con-
gresswoman" from Montana, offered
an amendment to the Lever food bill
providing that women be employed
IN carrying out it's provisions when
ever possible, and the amendment
passed unanimously, with vociferous
applause. In accepting the amend
ment, Congressman Lever said that
chivalry Joined with good judgment
and common sense. Incidentally.
Miss Rankin set a good example to
her colleagues by combining her re-
marks to the point and concluding
her speech in five minutes. In its
propaganda for larger crops the de-
partment of agriculture will organ
ize the women for service. They will
look after the harvest "hands," and
extra labor at eating time, and will
do all they can to increase the food
supply by canning or drying perisha-
bic products. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road company has announced equal
pay for equal work, whether for men
or women employees, following up
It's earlier announcement that as far
as possible women would be engaged
to replace men called into military
service. Other large organizations
have made similar statements, and
the movement is spreading through
out many states. The whole illus
trates the Importance attached to the
part that women are expected to play
in the war. Moreover, it stimulates
patriotism through the assurance Civ
en- In many instances that loved ones
wholly or partly dependant will have
their chance to become self-support-
ing while their natural protectors are
