 Going from Phoenix go straight to Mesa and then tme out East Main street to the last big ditch Cross this ditch and then angle off the northery of the three roads which branch from the Apache Trail highway. After passing Desert Wells there chance to lose the road to Superior but signs should be placed where the three roads branch off from the main highway for is wrong here.
 If the destination Ray, do clear into Superior but when just in the outskirts of the town in fact when the first houses reached turn the only road leading to the right and follow it to Ray.
 No should attempt the trip to Ray without plenty of water for even the best of will boil the hills and between Superior and Ray The grades stiff but the road is fairly safe and in fair condonfo mountain highway There something like miles of the mountain highway and the grade very stiff spots ranging up to l7 and 20 per cent Since the seepest grade to Roosevelt is cent the aos will appreciate what this means

NATION IS ENTERING
Upon WAR WITHOUT
RESERVE OF FOOD
UnfavorabIe Season Would
Bring Greatest Shortage
Since Civil War.

St. Louis. April Ave are
entering upon one Of the greatest
wars without reserve Of food"
declared Henry J. Waters, presi-
dent Of the Kansas State Agricui-
ture college, before the conference
here today called by Secretary
Houston Of tho United States de-
partnnent Of agriculture to consider
the food situation Of the nation.
"This eountry's visible supply Of
food" he continued, twill be con-
sumsd before another harvest.
Should we have an unfavorable
season the United States would
face the greatest food shortage
since the Civil war.
"The problem Of supporting two
million soldiers soon will confront
us. We must feed our own people
at home while they produce muni-
tions and equipment and we also
must assist In supplying our allies
with food"
Increased gardening, rapid ex-
tension Of community canning clubs
and encouragement Of potato acre
ACE were among the conservative
measures advocated by President
Waters.

FIRST ANTI-GERMANA ATTACK
MADE ON BISMARCK SALOON

He rushed to the front end of the sa-
loon and saw one man running west
He got fairly good description.
The Bismarck. before the war was
declared. was a place where Germans
and German Americans assembled to
eat and drink. The European war
was naturally discussed in all its
phases. But. since the declaration OF
hostilities between this country and
Europe. the expression OF German
sentiments has been tabooed by the
proprietors.
Mr.. Barrenstein declares that he ;s
an American citizen first and nothing
will ever be said in his place of bust
ness against the country of his
adoption.
The police are making every effort
to arrest the man who threw tho
brick. Disturbances of the sort will
not be tolerated In Butte.

New York, April 9.-Running safely

and without sighting a periscope eth

liner st. Louis, arrived at her home

she was we'll armed for the trip.
The homeward voyage was a stormy

Of Ireland a gale threatened the de-

BRITISH SMASH
GERMAN LINES
ON NEW FRONT
Teuton Positions Penetrated on
Ten-MiIe Stretch, From
ArraS to Lens.
ATTACKS OPEN THE
SPRING OFFENSIVE
Military Operations of Still
Greater Importance Are
Expected.

London, April 9.-The British early
this morning attacked the German
lines on a wide front from a point
south of Arras to the south Of Lens,
thus opening what is believed here to
be q general spring offensive. The
move has been looked forward to
eagerly for some days. Tho offensive
of tho British flying corps in the lat
ter part of the last week, the attack on
zeebrusse Saturday night and the
activity of the French in Belgium, as
shown in yesterdays official state
ment from Paris, were considered
prelude to important military opera
tions.
The British commander, General
Haig, whose reports are always mod
crate, says the German line has been
broken everywhere and that progress
was made in the direction Of Cam
brai. The extension Of the attack
northward to Lens doubtless was in
tended to give the British more elbow
room for their operations from Arras
to the point of juncture with the
French around ST. Quentin.
Referring to the attack on the front
between Arras and Lens, the state
ment says: - ......-..
The Statement.
I'VE are making satisfactory prog
ress at all points"
The statement, which Is timed ll'zo
a. m, Is as follows:
I'VE attacked at $50 o'clock this
morning on a wide front from south
OF Arras to south Of Lens. Our troops
have everywhere penetrated the
enemy's lines and are making satisrac-
tory progress at all points.
