FIRE DESTROYS
 IA HOUSES

The most disastrous confia grafton to visit Clifton since the big Chase Creek fire in 1913, when practically half of the business houses were con sIlmed, occurred on Tuesday morn ing between Il and 1 o'clock when fourteen houses were totally destroy ed They were occupied for the most part by MeXicans and Italians, many Of them being the cosiest homes in that section.
 The fire originated in a Mexican house behind the Chase Creek school house and was caused from an over- heated oil stove. The fire had gain ed great headway in the house be- fore help arrived and an entrance to the room was made by hacking down the door with axes, the woman of the house becoming excited and in remov irg the furniture inadvertently block ing the doorway with a large cabinet. Several alarms were sounded and a volunteer fire company was soon on the scene but for some time could ac- complish but little owing to the low pressure of water.
 In short time adjoining houses had caught and as there was a high wind blowing the flames quickly spread to nGdFDy houses ana IL was HOI long before most of them on that side of the stret were burning. fiercely, and for a while it looked as though it would mean a clean sweep to the lateral street and possibly jump to the houses on the opposite side. How ever, fairly good pressure of water was finally secured and together with the many bucket brigades the flames were brought under control, but not until they succeeded in destroying the fourteen homes.
 Many of the residents of the burn ed homes lost their all, but the ma jority managed to save the greater +part of their furniture and for over an hour men, women and children were busy in removing their worldly effects to the street and other places of safety.
 The chemical engine purchased by the city some time ago was requisi tioned for the first time, but owing to the great start the fire had it was powerless against the raging flames The roof of the Chase Creek school was protected by several fire extin guishers in charge of workmen who are building the new addition, and this structure also had a narrow es cape from destruction The loss will

ADVICE FOR STockMEN

Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 20-Thousands of calves in Arizona are being killed as soon as they are born. The worlds food emergency means that this prac- tice should be stopped. Such is the advice urged by the Committee on Resources and Food Supply of the Arizona State Council of Defense.
 The reason why so many calves are being wasted, according to Professor F.. w. Taylor of the University of Arizona College of Agriculture, is that there is at present a great de mand for casein. and farmers get such high prices for their skim milk that they are loath to keep enough of it to feed their young stock.
 But not only can calves be raised without feeding whole milk, but af- ter two or three weeks they can be gradually changed over from a diet of milk to gruel made of calf meal. Homemade calf meal is likely to be cheaper and better than commercial calf meals, if the dairyman prepares it from standard suitable food stuffs, such as ground barley, ground oats, wheat middlings, and 1inseed meal, two parts of any of the first three feeds and one part of linseed meal.
 The Arizona farmer ought to raise the heifer calves from his best COWS as additions to his dairy herd, and ought to feed the others until they are ready for marketing for veal. This is patriotic duty, inasmuch as the most serious food problem which con- fronts the allied nations is that of meat and animal products. While food prices are likely to remain high for some years to come, prices for meat animals and animal products will also be high and should bring good returns for the feeder
