PAPAGOES PRODUCE
RECORD BEAN CROP
EAST OF AJO CAMP

AJO, Ariz., Oct. ia record-break-
ing bean crop is being harvested by
the Papago Indians living in the des-
ert country east of Ajo, as a result
of campaign which had for its pur-
pose the planting of two crops In a
season. Ordinarily the Papagoes have
raised but one crop year. wheat,
which they were accustomed to trade
for beans and other needs. This year
the wheat crop failed because of the
long-delayed rains, but the second
crop, beans, was a great success The
campaign to induce the Indians to
plant two crops year was largely
by the New Cornelia Cop
per company. and once the Papagoes
were convinced that two crops a year
would pay big profits, there was no
stopping them, although it is known
that pro-German agitators attempted
to induce them to give up the idea.
At the current market price of beans,
the Indians will more than atone for
the loss of the wheat crop earlier in
the season.

WAR WILL BE
WON BY FAMINE

That all luxuries and many neces-
sites will be swept from the meal
tables of New Workers before the COM
ing war winter has lasted many weeks
was asserted by food conservation ex-
perts, who are ready to report to Her
bert c. Hoover the results of their
recent researches there. With milk,
| meat and almost every other staple
already being limited by prohibitive
prices In most of the million house
holds there. and scarcity in sight
along every line of food supply. the
people of that city are now beginning
to regulate their ration almost as rig
orously as has been done abroad.
Though thousands of men who are
making fortunes in the war supply
game are still living lavishly on the
gilded edges of this metropolis, the
great majority of the people who live
there are returning to an economical
scale of life that has meyer been
known since the days of the last gen.
Grafton.
Seven years ago famous European
student of history prophesied that the
next great war of the future would
not be won by fighting, but by famine
We are today fighting that war, and
famine is indeed threatening to be its
arbiter
The men of England, Scotland, Ire
land, France, Italy and Belgium-our
allies-are fighting; they are not on
the farms. The production of food
by these countries has therefore been
greatly reduced. Even before the war
it was much less than the amount
consumed. The difference came more
largely from other countries than from
America. Now this difference is
greater than ever, and at the same
time, supplies can no longer come
from most of the other countries.
They must now come from America.
Therefore our allies depend on us for
food as they have never depended be-
fore, and they ask us for it with a
right which they have never had be-
fore. For today they are doing the
fighting, the suffering and dying-in
our war;
We must send them the food they
have to have. We will send it. But
we can only do it by wise and loyal
economy of food on the part of every
one of us. We must stimulate our
food production, organize our food
handling, eliminate all the waste pos
sible, substitute as largely as possible
other foods for wheat, beef, pork,
dairy products and sugar, and reduce
consumption where it is excessive.
To accomplish these things is the
problem of the United States Food
Administration. But this accomplish
ment can come only from the COM
bined personal and voluntary service
of all the people of the land. To that
end we want all the people to join the
Food Administration. No fees or dues;
merely a promise to help. Send for
membership pledge and plan to the
United States Food Administration,
Washington, D. c., or communicate
with any member of the woman's
committee in Ray, Mrs. r. s. Johnson,
Mrs. Shive, Mrs. C. A. Smith or Mrs.
French.
