FOODCONSERVAT|ON
ASSURES VICTORY
AMERICA WILL WIN WAR, DE-
CLARES HOOVER, BECAUSE OF
SUPERIOR RESOURCES.
Voluntary Household Economy and
Organization In Advance Of Of Leg
isiation Insures Final Success
for, the Allies

Washington.-America will win the
war, Herbert Hoover declared in a
statement Saturday, because of its su-
perior resources and through the abil-
lty Of the American people to organize.
The success already evident, Of the
pation's voluntary food conservation
effort, Mr.. Hoover said, points to
final victory.
Germany accomplished less in this
direction in twelve MONTHS said Mr..
Hoover, than our people have in four.
The only need of legislation and au-
thority is to curb those who would
profit by this voluntary movement"
More than two million women, Mr.
Hoover announced, have enrolled as
members of the food administration
and pledged themselves to follow its
directions as to saving food within the
household. Within sixty Gays, ne said,
many more millions. will have become
members.
Success Question of Resources.
mo one can rightly be gloomy over
the outcome for the American people
In this war; said Mr.. Hoover. "Suc-
cess in this war is a question of re-
sources and the will and ability of the
people to organize themselves to use
them rightly and to endure. Many
thinking Americans and the whole
world has been watching anxiously the
last four months in the fear that dem
ocratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not
be done.
CONTRARY proof is Immediately at
our door and our people have already
demonstrated their ability to mobilize,
organize, endure and prepare voluntar-
lily and efficiently In many directions
and upon a mere word of inspiration,
aside from the remarkable assemblage
OF our army and finances.
1--WE entered the war four months
ago and it was announced by the pres
ident that one of the great problems
Of the war would be food. There has
been no consequential national or To-
cal legislation, yet the greatest spon-
taneous volunteer effort ever made in
history has not only provided us with
larger stock of food supply as d re-
suit of patriotic planting in every
quarter. but waste is being eliminated
out of every crack and Granny Of our
homes and of our industries and titi s
Is being done without compulsion of
the law, but by spontaneous effort and
coIf-dnpial of tba naonte
Our present prospects indicate an
Increase of production of cereals by
$4,000, 600 bushels. Literally millions
of new gardens have been planted or
extended everywhere. We have the
largest supply of vegetables ever in
our history"

BAUMANN MINES
 ACTIVELY OPERATING
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Excellent progress is being made in reviving the Baumann mines, was the report given yesterday by Jules Baumann. The rctimbcring of the main working shaft on the Baby claim has reached to the 100-foot level. When three additional sets are in position crosscutting to the cast begins. When important dctermina- tions arc anticipated in opening ut four known well-dchned ore bodies in a distance of about 1OO feet.
 This exploration is authorized by geological engineers, as well as those in charge, who are conversant with underground conditions. New has been installed for this important work, and finances arc available for carrying out long line of work. The Baumann is on the same contact with the Blue Bell, Binghamton and other copper bon anzas to the south. This contact extends north for many miles to in cludc the Jerome field. This admirable condition warrants the pres cnt large operations for this old-time property.

DRAFTED MEN MAY ENLIST TILL
 THEY ARE OFFICIALLY CALLED
Until Local Exemption Board Gets Ready To Examine Conscripts, They Arc
 Free To Join Any Branch.

This Is not true For the l0,000O00 men who are registered on June 5th, there will never need to be another draft. Their order of liability has been fixed for all time by the draw ing of the numbered capsules at Washington last Friday.
 Each registrant now finds himself possessed of three numbers. The first ono he received, came at the hands ot the registration officers, who wrote it on both his registration card and on his certificate. These duplicate num- bers were merely to identify the card with the certificate
 The second number was given by the local registration board, consist ing of the sheriff, county recorder and county physician. These are known as the red ink or serial numbers, and are the numbers by which the regis trants were drafted.
 The third number was automatically assigned to each registrant by the act of drawing in Washington. For in. stance, the magic number was auto matically given to all registrants whose serial number was 2S5, when Secretary of War Baker drew the first capsule Friday.
 The third number is the one by which the registrant is assigned fixed place on the liability scale. If his number was the tooth drawn, that means he will be the tooth man called for examination - unless some one having a smaller number has died be- fore examination.
 Incidentally, death is about the only thing that will loose man from the duty of reporting to the exemption boards. No matter what his physical condition, he must get in touch with the exemption board on the day named for his appearance. Failure to do so will place him in list dcsig- mated as subject to military duty. And it then becomes incumbent upon him, without appeal to the exemption board, to report at his proper canton ment on September 1st, or the day thereafter fixed for the opening of the training course.

ISSUE FUR SCHOOL HOUSE
 IS HELD UP
PECULIAR SITUATION FIX ISTS REGARDING T H E ELECTION HELD AT JER- ONE JUNCTION ON 23RD LAST MONTH.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

At an election on June g, the resi- dents of School District 36, centcring about 20 miles north of this city, pass cd bond issue of Sl5,OOO for new school house. At the same time, the electors authorized the removal of the school site from Jerome Junction to the center of the tract of the Has sayampa Alfalfa Farms CO.
 The bonds, authorized at that cleo ton, have not yet been issued.
 H. II. Linncy, acting county attor- ncy, was called upon first to verify the rights of settlers on the tract, in vcstors in Yavapai county real estate, to vote at this election. Later, Lin ncy was called upon by the packers of the movement, to certify to the board of supervisors that the election had been legal in all respects. It was understood when Linney informed the board that ii had no discretion but to issue the bonds, that the bonds would be issued. But no -
 Some of the old-timers at Jerome Junction had presented to Chairman William Stephens of the board of su- pcrviSors, a protest against allowing the bonds. Their interest in the mat ter was obvious, and should have been expressed Gas it was by some of them) in the election. Chairman Stephens secured the passage of a resolution, denying the bonds. And there the matter has stuck.
 Stephens wants court edict before he will talk bonds. The tract people want the bonds so they can go ahead and erect the school house before Winter on plot of ground they have provided free, for the purpose.
 Mir. Linney stated yesterday that the proper procedure was to issue the bonds, and then to take steps through inc courts, 10 see that they were ad- ;nin:Stered legally.

LEVELER OF CASTE IN
 PRESCOTT
YOUNG M E N SELECTED FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE; THREE FAMILIES LOSE TWO SONS EACH TO THE NATION.
tFrom Tuesdays Dailv.)

As in all localities, so in Yavapai county, the draft last Friday was no respecter of persons. It took young men from every station of life. There are the sons of rich folk and the toil- CTS in the mines, useful citizens and respected, and likewise, men in jail on various charges. Among those taken was one young man who has since June 5th, been transferred to the State penitentiary.
 In Prescott, the lists published by the Journal-Miner, included three members of the force, one from the news, one from the business and one from the mechanical department. There are three instances of two brothers, only sons, being drawn.
 O. A. McDermid, a jailor at the shcriff's office, working under the head of the local exemption board, was one of the first to be designated. Two former residents of Germany, both natives of that country, arc on the list They are William Paar, manager of the Head Hotel and Dr Christian Adolph Klein, medical di- rector of Pine Ridge sanitarium.
 Harold Brisley, son of the druggist; Harold Pickerill, son of the service station man, and much needed at Yavapai Club dances; R. B. Wester- welt, county probation officer; Tom Thorpe, a former attache of the Ari- zona militia medical department, and now an cmploye at Brislcys, Dick and George Merritt, sons of County En- gineer Merritt, and many other we'll known young men of this city, are designated
 From the looks of the list, they will be able to recruit companies of Americans, Mexicans and Austrians, and fill their quotas with case.
 There are also two Chinese, Leon Quong Low and Dong Dan Cuey, and a Japanese, Chingo Hihara, drafted. It is understood that Mongolians will be automatically exempted from ser vice.

una Tf lO SJ IO Totals .456 371 Fl 9oS 3472
 The fact that your number IS on the lists published and posted by the Journal Miner Saturday and Sunday mornings, does not prevent you from enlisting in any branch of the United States service you can get into. Ot- ficial notice to this effect was receiv- ed yesterday by William Sieckmann, petty officer in charge of the local nav al recruiting station, from Lieutenant Tracht, at Fl Paso.
 It is only when officially notified by the local exemption board, consisting of Sheriff ]. r. Young, County Health Officer J. w. Finn and Harry Heap, that you must report on a certain day for physical examination, that your chance of voluntarily enlisting has passed
 Before the local exemption board can notify any of the young men of Yavapai county, they must receive their copies of the master list from Washington. In this list will be none of the tclegraphic nor typographical errors that are probably present in the newspaper lists. It is only by consulting this master list that the definite place in the scale of service liability can be determined. After re- ceipt of this master list, the board must take tine registration cards, (not the typewriter lists. in which there are also errors) and find the names of the men bearing the numbers in their particular order. Then, to call quota of say 800, from which it Is hoped to secure the necessary sos eligibles for the national war army, the board will do three things: l. Post a list of the names at its office, which will probably be at the sher- ifs office. ?. Give a certified list to the press and, }. send by mail to each rcgistrant, notice that he has been called for examination.
 It shall be deemed sufficient, how ever, if the notices are posted and offered to the press. So that if any chap sees his name on the bulletin board, he had better not wait for the mailed summons. It may not come, and its failure to arrive will not con stitute an excuse for his not present. ing himself.
 Until these things are all accom- plished, then, a man whose name is carly in the list, has perfect right to go see Lieutenant Anderson and en- list in the First Arizona, or see Sleek mann and become jolly jack tar or jine in any way he secs fit.
 Enlistments Credited.
 Each enlistment from this county constitutes a credit against the mum, Der that must be supplied by con scription For instance, if the county is now charged with 39S men, and between now and time for examina- ton, 9S men enlist, the net quota left, will be 300 men.
 Yavapai county is already credited with 60 cnlistmcnts in the national guard and the regular army. One of these was added since Saturday, so that at the last report, Yavapai owes the war army 397 instead of 39S men
 Questions Are Answered.
 The stream of questions addressed to this office regarding the draft, con tinued yesterday All inquiries were answered, or else the questioners were directed where they could secure in- formation. There is some confusion regarding the drawings. A number of registrahts are laboring under the belief there have been more than one draft or that other drafts will come
