1t is assumed by the press that the
sinking of the hospital ship Asturias

sued by the British foreign office at
the end of January, when the German
threat to sink hospital ships was made

PATRIOTIC SERVICE IN EACH
FAMILY RAISING TRUCK
POINTED TOO.
IS THE DUTY OF EVERYBODY
Farmers Urged to Seed Part Of Dat
Acreage to Spring Wheat This
Year.-city Folks Must

that as a patriotic duty city residents
transform their yards into gardens and
farmers so diversity their crops as to
make each section self-sustaining was
issued this week by Carl Vrooman, as
sistant secretary of agriculture.
The great need in war time. Mr..
Vrooman said, would be a surplus of
wheat with which the nation could
feed it's allies. He also declared acre
age of soy beans and COW peas should
be increased to augment the resources
for protein which in emergency could
replace meat for human consumption.
Two or three crops of some sort
should be raised during the coming
summer, he said, on every vacant
square foot in the cities.
War Time Policy.
IF national policy DEGREES that there
should be big increase in our acreage
and yields per acre of food crops" the
statement says, then the nation as a
whole and not the farmers as a class
should and must assume the major
part of the risk involved. The depart
ment is urging each section of the
country to become as nearly as prac-
ticab1e agriculturally independent.
This is good policy in time of peace
and would be vitality important pol
icy in time of war, when our trans
portation system necessarily would be
chiefly occupied with the transporta
ton of soldiers and war supplies.
I'm view of the apparent worldwide
wheat shortage and present and pros
pective high prices in those parts of
the country where spring wheat at nor
NAL prices is as profitable or almost as
profitable as oats, farmers would do
we'll to seed a part at least of their
normal oats acreage to spring wheat.
In case of war few things would be
more important than that the United
States should have on hand large
surplus of wheat with which to feed
it's allies.
Duty for Boys and Girls.
1T is the patriotic duty of erevy city
boy, girl and woman who can to trans
form his or her yard, or some nearby
vacant lot into a garden, each square
foot of which will grow two or posi-
bly, three crops during the coming
sufmer. Moreover, the average small
farmer and his family owe it to their
country as. we'll as to themselves, to
raise at least 100 chickens, to keep one
COW or more, at least enough hogs for
home consumption and perhaps little
bunch of sheep.
"The cheapest, most profitable and
quickest known means of increasing
general production is by the use of
lime. There are few sections in the
United States without some supply of
limestone, mari or oyster sheels. If
every farmer in the country would ap-
ply from two to four tons of crushed
limestone per acre to all his sour land
our national supply of breadstuffs this
year would be augmented by a sur
prising number of million bushels.

Improvement Under Con- struction on West Wash ington Evidence of Sub stantial Development of Phoenix

Excavation has been completed for a new store and loft building at the corner of West Washington street and South Fourth avenue and form work fn~ concrete construction will be start ed this week.
 The building is being erected by Charles Donofrio and will cost with lot when completed about s125,000 It will be three stories in height and plans have been drawn to include ten store rooms on the ground floor. MT Donofrio said yesterday that he would not complete the several store rooms, however, until he had consulted with prospective tenants; that he intended to finish the stores to suit the occu- pants.
 The second and third stories for the present will be arranged for an assem- bly, room, Donofrio receiving assur- ance that such a hall, on large scale is needed in Phoenix The building will be so constructed as to permit of placing third story without extending the roof line. Donofrio said that the assembly room could be divided at any time to provide for rooms possibly for hotel purposes. He is leaving all this to future developments preferring, he says, to suit the building to the tenants wishes.
 The building will have frontage o1 1 100 feet on West Washington street and 137h feet frontage on South | Fourth avenue. Location is considered l ideal for both store. assembly hall anc | 5otel purposes.

The Government and Coal

The greed of the robber barons of the coal fields is crowding the government to position it will natur- ally take with great reluctance, for there is prob ability that taken it will be permanent one. Government control of the countrys coal, from measure, much more likely than not would develop into national policy in peace well as in and this control established in the coal fields would almost certainly spread to other industries and com munities the private controllers of them should become oppressive of the people. This power taken into the hands of the government could easily be confined It would be of those pol ices which not abandoned but which always develop.

The Pioneer of the Canyon

We have just received senate document "The Grand Canyon" pamphlet by Thomas F. Dawson. and lately presented the senate by United States Senator Shafroth Colorado It article the controversy concerning the first passage of the Grand Canyon It supports the claim of James White now a resident of Trinidad, Colorado who it is claimed, passed through the Grand Canyon in 1s67 two years before it traversed by Major J. w. Powell whose expedition in 1869 has been popularly supposed to have been the first go through mighty gorge There yet living ardent believers that Major Powell the first to pass the Canyon and that has generally been accepted by scientific societies.
 MT. Dawson would detract the exploit of Major Powell, which undertaken for exploration and investigation. Whites voyage accidental and was perhaps of little value to the world unless Major Powell may have learned from it that there were great and impossible cataracts such the Indians had invested it with White could have taken only slight notice of what he he was hurled through it. covering than 500 miles in fourteen days.
