BRIDGING THE ATLANTIC.


 The U- boat peril has ceased to give serious concern. It will doubtless remain a plague while the war lasts; but the govern ment is confident of being able to hold it within limits. We shall, be able to send men and materials across the sea without fatal intolerance.
 Only one American steamship out of POO has been sunk by a submarine since we entered the war. In no case have the Ger mans succeeded in sinking a big or fast ship. They have merely picked off few slow tankers and freighters.
 This good showing is due to the effective means found for fighting the sea pirates. Im- proved methods have been in- volved and new devices invent ed. Nets to ensnare the unwary submarine, mounted guns on merchantmen, smoke boxes to hide a menaced ship, depth bombs that explode under water, SWdEuuS Ol SCH DlduGS anu Q6- stroyers patrolling the steamer lanes-all these have had their effect. And now there are hints of marvellous invention that will reveal the presence and loca- tion Nof any U-boat and thus facilitate it's destruction.
 Meanwhile our ship supply is increasing enormously. We have seized and utilized about 100 German vessels. The govern ment has commandeered 2,OOO,- OCO tons of shipping in process of construction. Contracts have been signed or soon will be sign ed, for ships aggregating 5000 GOO tons more! We shall have in year or so, ten times as many ships in the foreign trade as we had three years ago.
 There is no need to worry. We're going to make a bridge of ships across the Atlantic. Ell mira Gazette. H

POTATOES SAVE WHEAT.

Americans. if they would think of the humble potato as a "breadstuff" rather than merely as a vegetable" would find that they could spare much bread from their diet without in- convenience, the dietetic special ists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture point out. The potato-Irish or sweet differs from almost all other common vegetables in that it supplies important amounts of starch, and starch is the chief food element we get from bread. Green vegetables, with which potatoes often are classed, sup ply little or no starch and en- ergy, and are valuable in the diet principally for the mineral substances and acids they SUD- ply and for giving bulk to the diet. Pota toes, of course, SUD- ply valuable mineral substances useful in the building up, repair, and regulation of the body, but they have won their great place in the diet of a large part of the world because they supply starch which otherwise would have to be obtained from cereals.

PLANT WINTER WHEAT.

Arizona is capable of increas- ing her winter wheat acreage. Under the government guaran- tee of $2. 20 per bushel at ter minal points, Arizona winter wheat planting will undoubtedly be increased.
 The Government desires to raise the nations wheat crop in 1918 to one billion bushels. To bring this about it is estimated that the acreage to be planted to fall wheat should reach AZ million acres. The average yield of winter wheat for the United States is 15.6 bushels, with a yield of 13.2 bushels for spring wheat.
 Arizona's quota to bring about the desired increase is 43, ,OOO acres, which is an increase of 16 per cent over last year. In spite of the fact that cotton will claim a considerable acreage of land in the Salt River Valley which would otherwise be planted to winter wheat, the desired 15 per cent increase for the state in wheat is expected.

THE STATE FAIR.
This Year It Will Be Bigger and Better
 Than Ever. e

The State Fair should be, and will be, bigger and better this year than ever before. This is not gush as there are good re- asonS for the statement. Never before has a nations need been in such complete harmony with all the purposes for which State Expositions are created. Never before have all interests in the State seemed to cooperate so willingly toward the success of the Fair. And not for three or four years past, have the people of the State been so we'll able to attend the Fair.
 Rising to the occasion the Fair Commission seeks fol commen surate expansion in every de partment. The premiums in all departments are more liberal than ever before. New classes are added and new features dis played. The harness races will call for not less than $27, ,OOO, which is S15,O ,OOO more than was offered last year. Of. this sum credit should be given to the mining companies which have stood the guarantee of $1O, ,OOO. The running races are propor- tionately provided for. In the neighborhood of $25, ,OOO-go to premiums on general exhibits. A new mining building is under construction and plans are laid to make this feature a live" one instead of a dead" exhibit. The big mines have always had fine exhibits. This year they will be increased and new feat, ures added. A moving picture will give continuous perform ance in the mineral building not confined to one thing but to a variety of reels. There will also be lectures on ore determin- ations, first aid, safety first and demonstrations of the use of the gas helmet. .e
 The live stock departments will be better represented than before. Superintendent Van Kirk says he expects 500 animals in his cow" department. All the horses not sent to France are in- vited to be present.
 And there are more and better babies in Arizona than every be- fore. Lots of them will be on exhibition.
 The departments under the direction of the women will be given more room and better facilities than ever before, and the Fair grounds are already
 filtered up" with busy women.
 All this means that the Fair organization having planned big things, expects big support. The date is November 12 IT. Get your travelling bag ready.

CUSTOM SHELTER NEEDED.

Bar silver has reached the highest price this generation
 has known. It is soaring four and five points above 100 an ounce. a figure that seems al most inconceivable. Other ores are at nearly as high prices in comparison. On every side of Douglas there is ore of various kinds that could be mined pro- fitably were it so that reduction facilities could be obtained. The big smelters here have all they can do to take care of the ore from the mines of the companies that own them. The custom shelter at El Paso is too far away to give satisfactory ser
 vice, and there is no other one within reach of this section. The need and the opportunity for custom smelter in Douglas are plain. It would pay from the start. Why not boost for one until the hope becomes a realization?- ?-Douglas Dispatch.

PEERLESS ENGINEERS FAVOR
 ASPHALT-BASE OIL.

Further recognition for motor oil made from California asphalt base petroleum was brought to light recently when a prominent Peerless dealer showed group of newspaper men a letter from the Peerless factory.
 This letter stated that after testing several kinds of oil, the technical department was able to secure uniformly better re- suits with certain widely known advertised motor oil made here on the Pacific Coast from California asphalt base petro- ieum, than from any of the oils which they tested.

THE NATION HAS AWAKENED.

Now that more than a million men are bearing arms aside from those called under the selective draft and the latter so chosen are taking there places for train ing at the big cantonments. nearly every family in this broad land has one or more loved ones wearing the colors and prepar- ing to fight the Nations battles.
 From every hamlet, village, town and school district, the boys have been summoned. They have responded nobly and in most instances without murmur.
 All this has brought home to us that we are in war and that it is not the presidents quarrel neither is it the rich mans fight but itlis titanic struggle that includes every man, woman and child in the United States.
 All are not on the fighting line, of course. but the chosen soldiers have gone forward un- der the uniform system of rais- ing an army.
 There is duty for all who have been left behind. They must keep the fires of patriotism burning, provide food, clothing and supplies for our army, also that of our allies who fight with us in a common cause.
 It is too late to discuss why we are at war or whether there might have been some other way. Suffice to say that congress and tbe president have spoken and the decision made by them is binding on all.
 Every sign of disloyalty should now be rebuked and the people as one must labor, save and strive to achieve victory.
 Possibly peace may come as suddenly as the war begun. That is the hope of every true American. All will be glad if our boys are not called upon to enter the trenches and do deeds of valor that costs human lives. It is highly probable the war will not last long because Ger many can not resist for long against the battling forces of the civilized world. But until victory is achieved and the ene- my has lain down the arms of warfare or a satisfactory peace has been concluded there is but one thought that should fill the mind of each and every citizen: What can I do to help win the war?
 As seriousness of the situation dawns or our people, capitalists will pay fair wages, labor troub- les will cease and there will be an invincible America = Mes senger.
