POTATOES AND PREPAREDNESS

It seems definitely settled that our prime contribution to the war shall be food. Regiments must be armed with hoes as we'll as with guns, and horses will be needed for blowing before they are for battle. A back-to-the-land enthusiasm is sweeping the country, and many are planning to desert desk and bench to-follow the calling of the man with the hoe.
 Few of the enthusiasts seem ot re- alize the far-reaching effects of this movement, and before we have gone too far in our zeal it seems wise to consider the results upon industry in general. The one great danger is that many in the first flush of enthusiasm will desert their present occupations, in which they are most useful, to try an agricultural experiment for which they have neither training or aptitude. This will mean a shortage of labor in manufacturing, the result of which at this time might be disastrous. The cost of these experiments, not only to the individual but also to the nation, must also be considered. Seeds would be wasted, fertilizers, containing val uable chemicals sorely needed in ann munitions, would be used, and the land occupied by these well-meaning amateurs for a whole season could be more efficiently titled by more skillful farmers.
 These are the great dangers of our latest national movement, but in spite of them there are great advantages. That the ancient and honorable pro- fession of farming will once more be raised to its lawful position of honor We do not doubt; and it is also prob able that many who take to tilling the soil as a means of doing their bit in wartime will make it permanent occupation. What this means to the individual in health and happiness cannot be readily estimated, nor can it's effect upon the high cost of living. But the more immediate effects are definite and tangible. Production of farm implements, fertilizers, and seeds will be stimulated until the de- mand threatens to exceed the supply. Invention will profit, for the shortage of workers makes labor-saving devices an economic necessity. The scarcity of horses calls for tractors, but small CT and cheaper models are required. Trained men from agricultural col leges will be in great demand, for while few appreciate the difficulties of farming, fewer still know how to overcome them.
 The manufacturers share in this movement to feed the world falls directly to those making implements, fertilizers, and farm supplies; and every effort of these men that results in helping the farmer to make two potatoes grow where one grew before will be genuine contribution to our national preparedness.-From Ameri- can Industries for May.

ANITA STEWART DELIGHTFUL
 AS THE GIRL PHILIPPA"
Title Role in Special Vitagraph Pro- duction Made Living One by
 Dainty Star

Dainty Anita Stewart, the versatile Vitagraph star who has won her cap tivating way into the hearts of hun dreds of thousands of movie fans, has achieved one triumph after aonther since her success in "The Wood Vio- let" three years ago.
 Gradually her roles have become more difficult, more complex and more demanding of artistic characteriza- tions. Not once, howeveS, has she failed to portray the part allotted her in way that pleased the most fas- tidious.
 But in the "The Girl Philippa," the special eight-part Blue Ribbon Fea- ture from the novel by Robert W. Chambers and which was directed by s. Rankin Drew, that is coming to the Orpheum Theatre next Sunday June 3rd, Miss Stewart scores the greatest triumph of her entire career.
 Anita Stewart in 'SThe Girl Philippa''
 In the wonderful title role of the girl-Philippa--she gives her many friends a characterization worthy of the greatest praise and one that has won the most favorable comments from all critics.
 Philippa naturally clings to the big uplifting things in her life, somehow although her environment is that of cabaret where she acts as cashier and sometimes spy for the notorious proprietor who is scamp, selling in formation to either faction of the warning countries--to whichever means the most gold pieces.
 Although she is apparently the cashier, one never forgets that she is of royalty, that she should have for her background the drawing-room of a palace, not the smoky room of a cabaret.

ONE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY
 COMMISSION REFERENDUM

We have secured copy of letter addressed to County Engineers of Arizona" and signed by one J. L. Hoops, of Miami, Arizona, as fol- lows:
 Miami, Arizona, May IA, 1917
 To County Engineers of Arizona, Gentlemen:
 At the last legislature there was a bill passed that provided for the es- tablishment of a Highway Commis- sion, and duplication of the offices of County Engineers, in the case of the issuance of any County Road Bonds.
 A number of citizens of this county, myself among them, do not favor this bill and l am taking this opportunity to send you number of blank peti- tions to have the bill referred to the people to see if they really want this law.
 In case that your views meet with ours in this matter kindly have as many names signed as the enclosed petitions and return to me at the above address not later than May 28
 Very truly yours, (Signed) J. L. HOOPS"
 This letter seems to indicate that an attempt is being made by County Engineers to invoke the Referendum i on House Bill No. 175, entitled "Ar Act Providing for the Creation oi County Highway Commissions ant Prescribing the Powers and Duties ot Such Commissions"

The Apple and the Onion

During the preparedness parade in New York, Col. Charles H. Sherill, or ganizer of the demonstration, said on the reviewing stand:
 "A nation may be let alone through a feeling of respect-not through a feeling of hatred and horror.
 America in her preparedness pro- gramme will follow the apple rather than the onion deal.
 "An apple day." said a man, Twill keep the doctor away"
 "Why stop there?" growled another man of militarist views. "An onion a day will keep everybody away"

URGENT NEED
Continued from Page one)

What must be the program of the
United Stateso 1t must be large enough
to outbuild submarine destruction. Even
if this means the building of 6,000.O0000)
tons year, which is three times the hes,
the British have done and five or six
times what the United States has pre-
viously done, this is not impossible if the
United States puts into it an effort com
parable with the efforts the Allies put
into creating their armies, navies and
munitions To build 100000 tons Of
shipping would require about $500 COO
tons Of steel, or less than 10 per cent. Of
her output It would take not more than
a half million men. the majority I'M
skilled.
THE task thus outlined is small COM
pared with the effort put forth by the
principal belligerents in other directions.
Great Britain. for example, increased her
army from a quarter of million to over
5 900 90 and should add a quarter of
million to her navy and treble 1t IN
size.
Before the war all the shipping in
the world was only worth about the
same capital as the two big English
railway companies. 1t would be the
most homogeneous thing in the history
of warfare if the war in which such
immensely greater strength has been
exerted in other directions should
have the issue decided by failure to
solve the problem of building six mil
lion tons Of shipping a year in a
country with such vast resources as
the United States.
What is the present situation re-
garding U-boat losses? 1t IS clear
that the submarine war will fail in
its main intention. 1t will not starve
Great Britain and it will not inter-
fere with the adequate supply OF mu-
nitions. But British shipping strength
still is being constantly reduced, and
we have not yet reached the point
where building equals the losses.
Under the circumstances Great Brit
aims position as the supplier Of the
allied needs is handicapped. But OF
main importance is what ii means to-
ward the efforts of the United States
in the war and unless the situation
is faced the great military effort Of
the United States will be crippled from
the start.
There is today a shortage in ship
ping to meet the material needs of the
Allies. namely, the supply of raw ma
terials for manufacturing munitions,
the supply of finished munitions. the
supply of fuel for the navy and the
supply of food,
"All these supplies are now being
maintained at the minimum margin of
safety and in some cases below that
margin.
TT must be remembered that when
the war began the Allies had to throw
their full strength into an increase of
their axmies, navies and munitions,
and il is because of the strength, es-

Alderman Augustus Carey had a
very narrow escape from death or Sc
rious injury Friday morning. He was
driving down Front street and had
almost reached the crossing when he
saw the morning passenger train COM
ing up the grade at good rate of
speed. He turned his car sharply at
right angles to the way he was 60
ing and parallel to the track and
crashed into telegraph pole. bend
ing the bumper. crushing mud guard
and bending the axle so that the car
could not be driven under its own
power
The car was so close to the track
that everyone wondered how the train
cot past without hitting it and had
the post not stopped him the car
would have gone down over a steep
embanllment where it would certainly
have turned over. Mr. Carey was I'M
injured and the damage to the car wa.
small. but it was as narrow an es-
cape as man usually has and lives
