President Roosevelt was using all OF

Wilson Appeals TO Farmers

In a letter read to the convention
President Wilson declared it not only
the duty Of the United States to take
adequate steps to feed Americans, but
if possible, to answer the call for FOOD
of other nations at war.
The letter read before the conven-
tion follows:
at the present moment it is our
plain duty to take adequate steps that
rot only our own people be fed, but
that we may, if possible. answer the
call for food of other nations now at
war.
"In this greatest of human needs |
feel that the American farmer VIII do
his part TO the uttermost. By plant
ing and increasing his production IN
every way possible every farmer will
perform labor of patriotism for
which he will be recognized as SOL
aier of the commissary, adding ms
share 10 the food supply of our people"
The recommendation OF the Agri-
cultural Society comes close upon a
move By the Council Of National Defence
forecasting appointment Of "A national
food committee headed by Herbert {.
Hoover. who has had charge Of Ameri-
can relief work in Belgium. The De
fence Council announced Saturday that
il would ask Mr.. Hoover to become
chairman of committee which could
advise as 10 best methods of stlmulat-
ing food production and of preventing
speculative prices.

The campaign in Mohave county for subscriptions to the Liberty loan bonds was brought to a climax last night when Golconda citizens brought in subscriptions for S6,2OO. They came over in an automobile on which was the banner "Golconda subscribes $10,- 100 for Liberty bonds," arriving here at 2 o'clock. Subscriptions totaling S9,90O were made Wednesday by res idents of that thriving little mining camp.
 There are not more than 200 men in the camp and the subscriptions of S10,1O0 are equal to $50 bond for ev- cry man. Manager John D. Wanvig of the Union Basin Mining company and his employees have worked night and day the last few days to do what they could in behalf of the Liberty bonds. They worked continuously from

 In the afternoon a band concert by the Booth band of Needles was given at the ball ground and at 800 a ball game between 'Kinman and Chloride held the attention of the crowd. The game was very interesting for some three innings and then the pitcher for Chloride lost his arm and it ended with a rather one-sided score in favor of Kingman. Both teams would have put up good game if it had not been for the shortage of a pitcher.
 At 9 o'clock in the evening the danc- CTS took possession of the order of ev- ents and time was whiled away far by the hour of midnight.
 The entire proceeds of the day were turned to the account. of the Red Cross chapter of Kingman.

GOV. CAMPBELL WILL
 SPEAK AT FLAGSTAFF
 CELEBRATIONJULYS-4

FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., June 13-,Spe- cial )-That the celebration in Flag staff on July and will be the bigg- est and best ever staged in Northern Arizona is evidenced by the interest that is being awakened in all the com mittees appointed to make the big show a success. While the cold wea- ther and other attractions have held work back somewhat, it has gained an impetus from this inactivity that will now carry it to a successful cul- imitation.
 From recent reports the Indians on the reservation are even now prepaI- ing to visit Flagstaff and take an ac- tive part in the big show. It will be remembered by those attending the celebration last year that the Indians furnished some very entertaining events, and it is the plan for the com ing show to add many more Indian events, including horse races and es- pecially their tribal dances which they are planning on staging.
 Owing to the fact that the country is now raising a large army and pre- pairing for defense as well as an offen- sive against Germany, the parade will be dominated by Patriotic and prepar- edness features. Although the parade will open the celebration on the morn ing of the 4th, it will be one of the big features and should not be missed.
 Immediately after the parade, on the courthouse grounds, Governor Tom Campbell will make the opening ad- dress. In view of the numerous du- ties that have devolved upon the states chief executive the past few weeks, the Flagstaff Elks are to be congratulated upon securing him as a speaker for the celebration.
 It is a rule with most shows of this kind to hold the best attractions until the last, but as may be readily seen from the above sketch of the program, the order will be partially reversed this year: With Governor Campbell and the big parade to open the cele- bration, it is a safe bet that the en- tire show will be on the first class order, and it will be difficult to decide what the best features really are they will all be good.

With the final strain of Home, Sweet Home" in the early hours of this morning, the Elks' celebration of Flag Day passed into the memories. For the dance at the Elks' hall con- tinued until well after midnight.
 The parade as scheduled left the court house grounds at 10 o'clock yes terday morning with the Home Guards leading the procession and in the CT der named came the EIks' Lodge No. 468, Western Lodge No. 12 Knights of Pythias, the Ladies of the Red Cross in automobiles, Camp Fire Girls in automobiles, the Boy Scouts and these followed by nearly every auto mobile in town.
 The line of march extended for a good part of half mile and proceed ed down Fourth street onto Front street, thence west to Third street, returned east to the corner of Fifth street, then back to Fourth street and to the place of beginning.
 Immediately following the parade were the exercises in the Elks' hall where nice program was rendered. J. B. Wright read the Elks' tribute to the flag in a masterly fashion as well as having prepared a most com mendable sentiment in the paper from which he read. Mrs. c. A. Dutton read the History of Our Flag" taking us back to the day of the Revolution and to the door of Betsy Ross in the manufacture of the first flag in its present form. Judge E. E. Armour gave a pleasing address on "The Flag and Its Meaning" and expressed much sentiment coincident with the opinions of the large audience.

PHOENIX, Ariz., June IA. (Spe- ciaD D.-An interesting wedding with the up-to-date elements of surprise and the absence of fuss which marked the union of a popular deaf mute girl to a well known deaf young man of this section on May 21 is just begin ming to be known. It is the first we'd ding of deaf mutes known ever to have been performed in Phoenix and for that matter anywhere in Arizona.
 The contracting parties were Grace Edna Hall and William H. Wherry, Jr. They were married by Justice Charles De Sales Wheeler in his office in the usual way, for the groom, who is an expert lip reader, closely followed the motion of the lips of the justice and spelled the words out to the blushing bride who made the response affirm atively.

CFrom Thursdays Daily SIiner.)

Yesterday Deputy Marshal George B. Ayers and Sheriff J. N. Cohenour went over to Chloride to make arrest of fourteen men who were said to have refused to register. Two of the men had reported to Registrar Underwood and their cards had been sent to them as requested, but they had not yet received them. They signed up yes terday and were released. Another man, Santos Hernandez, had told Dep uty Marshal Ayers last Saturday that he was willing to register, and it was arranged that he be registered.
 Two others, Manuel Rules and Fred Gonzales, were held until the United States attorney was communicated with. Rules told the mine foreman at the Tennessee that he was not reg istered and was willing to be register ed, and had failed to give his name to the registering officer on the 9th be- cause he had been drinking and over looked it. Gonzales had gone to look at mining prospect on the 4th, not getting back to Chloride until the 9th. Then he went to Needles and they re- fused to register him there.
 Several other men in Chloride have been reported, but it is thought that practically all slackers have been ac- counted for.
 Today large number of warrants will be prepared by Commissioner Smith and arrests will be made. It is well to state that the commissioner has no option in the matter, all those failing to register being subject to arrest and if convicted will have to serve a year in jail and possibly fined heavily.

 The awarding of the contract came after the labor unions of the county had protested against letting the con- tract to a non-union shop. Our Min eral Wealth is not union shop.

 In speaking of the progress that is being made with this enterprise, Mir. Tiller said:

The airplane has undoubtedly demonstrated it's efficiency and prac- ticability as a passenger-carrying air craft, and it's superiority over the dirigible or Zeppelin types Prejudices and fears, once strong, are rapidly giving place to confidence and pride as the art of aerial navigation demon strates its utility, social and economic worth.
 "We have men interested who have many big and worth while undertakings, and with this or ganization perfected, the public should feel confident that aerial service over the Apache Trail of Arizona will be as soon as we are able to get the most efficient machine that can be manufactured in the United States"
