IN BEHALF IF THE
 ARIZONA COUNCIL IF DEFENSE

Executive Department, State of
 Arizona
 I WHEREAS, recognizing the serious situation confronting the State of Arizona and the United States, by reason of the present war with Germany; I, Thomas E. Campbell, Govern or of Arizona, by virtue of au- thority in me vested, and in view of necessity of protecting life and property within the State of Arizona and conserv- ing her resources or range, farm and industry, did on April 18th, 1917, appoint and call to- :gether representatives of all activities of the State, for or Fganization into the Arizona Council of Defense; and
 WHEREAS, said Council, properly organized and con- stituted has issued to the people of Arizona, the following mes sage:
 "The Capitol, Phoenix, Ari- zona, April 19, 1917.
 "The Arizona Council of De- fense, in session assembled, calls upon every individual in Arizona to stand shoulder to shoulder in united determina- ton successfully to meet the critical conditions now threat ening our State and Nation.
 '"The urgent need today is CONSERVATION. Let all CO., operate in prudent economy in the home, in our social life and general activities.
 "Our food supply demands special consideration. All waste in the preparation and use of food must be eliminated. Wherever possible, perishable foods should be used in prefer ence to staple products and canned goods. The livestock industry must be conserved. We urge the various associa- tions representing this industry to cooperate to this end.
 "We recommend that our merchants, wholesalers, job bers and retailers, take such action as will prevent all un- warranted or arbitrary increase in prices of food commodities. Individual hoarding and accu- mulating of food is pernicious. Such a practice is not only of great injury to the majority of our citizens who are compelled from necessity to buy supplies from day to day, but, in the end reacts on those who indulge in that form of selfishness. We call upon every individual to discourage this practice, not only by precept, but by his own manly example.
 Il "The planting season for summer crops is now upon us- Every effort must be made to bring all available land under cultivation. Waste places must be made to bear subsistence. Each member of the Council pledges himself to plant, or cause to be planted, a plot ot ground not hitherto under cul- tivation. Our seed supply must be guarded, and the best avail able seed planted. Conditions are such that high prices. are likely to prevail for sometime to come, and our best effort to minimize this condition must be put forth vigorously.
 "Other resources in this State are very essential to the vel fare of our country. Not only must all forms of agriculture be promoted, but war condl- tions today demand that the or

SMELLING IS RESTORED

North Dakota Candidates for Com

Mt Twin Cities.
.(Ry Associated Press.l

Washington, July ga complete
revision In the plans for locations of
the second officers training camps TO
open Aug. 81 has been decided on by
the war department as a result of re-
inspection OF the sites previously
chosen.
Under the new arrangement there
will be nine camps instead OF eight.

Roots, Ark; and Fort Riley, Kan, be-
ing dropped from the list, and Platts-

The assignment OF state quotas un-
der the new plan includes:
At Fort Sheridan-Michigan, Wis

tinue to be profitable after the pres
ent food crisis Is a thing OF the
past. ...-..
For the lessons in gardening
learned this summer will persist in
effect after the war is over. Those
who have experienced the delight of
gathering their own vegetables daily
for their own table will never again
depend for their supplies upon that
uncertain quantity, the southeLE
negro. Not only are the tables of
the owners more plentifully supplied,
but the ta&eg on otherwise idle real
estate are thus easily provided.
Hundreds Of acres of city building
lotsSare being cultivated by the chill
dren in addition to the gardening
which their mothers are doing in
their back yards. And the COM
munity canning club established by
the young ladies is taking good care
of all the surplus. Savannah is thus
releasing a considerable quantity Of
grain and meat for the use of the
allies and the armies of the United
States in France and again demon
strating to the world that she is
prepared to do her bit not only in
the matter Of soldiers and money
but in the home work of her women
and children.

Banks Not Touched

Hard blows were dealt by the
select draft and the call to colors in
some of Fargo,s financial institu-

being hit
The heaviest blow was struck at
the Merchants National bank, where
three men were drafted in the first
call and where three have already
enlisted in the different arms of the
military service of the government.
e. e. Simonson, teller; L. ]. Ellef-
son, teller, and r. J. Gorder, book
keeper, were selected by Uncle Sam
to go with the first forces of the
selective army into training. They
will leave as soon as orders come.
A. T. Comstock, assistant cashier
of the Merchants National bank, has
applied for admission into the sec
ond officers training camp and if he
fails to pass the examination, will
apply for entrance into the signal
corps.

and is now home on a furlough, or
until he is called out.
Earl Shaw, paying teller at the
Merchants, has Joined the quarter
masters department of the United
States and, while yet employed at
the bank, expects to get word any
time for his call to assignment
duties.
Out of nine men eligible for draft,
six have been taken from this bank

AS soon as the call went out from
Washington for a million back yard
gardens in the interest Of food con-

got busy. Land owners and real
