DOUGLAS LOYALTY LEAGUE PERFECTED
 AT TUESDAY MEET
Bisbee Delegation Goes to Shelter City and Attends Big Meeting-Douglas h. vited to Visit Bisbee Sunday Evening.

Organization of the Douglas branch of the Loyalty League of America was completed Tuesday night at a well at tended meeting in the reading room of the Y. M. c. A., in the Shelter City, when President Hinton named. the va rious committees provided for by the constitution adopted at the original meeting in the high school building a week ago.
 After the committees were an nounced President Hinton announced that M. w Merrill, of Bisbee, president of the parent organization formed in Phoenix recently, was present and called on him to address the league. Mr. Merrill responded and first con graduated Douglas on its promptness in perfecting such splendid organiza- tion for the purpose of assisting the nation in this time of greatest need. He recited about what has recently happened in Bisbee and declared that the net results had been to solidify sentiment in the Warren district, where there had been lethargy and idleness in promoting the best condi- tions for many years. This sentiment he declared had already rid the dis trict of an unbearable condition. He said by the organization of loyalty leagues the false teachings of the soap box orators who had told but one story for years was to be combatted and met by the business men, conservative working men, the professional man who desires to see industrial peace prevail in the future. He declared that the teachings of treason were to be met with arguments in favor of loyalty to the nation and every community where attempts were made to create such unbearable conditions that Bisbee had allowed to be brought to the dis trict. He declared that there was no thought of the league or its members to oppose legitimate organized labor, but that on the other hand it would be as helpful to the laboring man as any other class of citizens. The re- marks of MT. Merrill were entnuslastl- cally applauded-
 Charles McDonald, cashier of the Citizens Bank & Trust company, Of this city. and secretary of the Loyalty League of America, was asked for a speech, but he declared that speech making was not one of the duties or a secretary, but he proceeded to con gratulate Douglas on forming loyalty league and expressed the wish that every community in the entire coun- try would soon have one. He said one of the objects of the league was to bring capital and labor closer togeth- CT and support all efforts made to bring just treatment of both. He re- cited what he had heard an l. w. w..

Mexicans Arrested

TUCSON, Aug. 15.-Antonia Rojas, corporal in the Mexican army, and Ernest Mettates ,an employe of the custom house at Nogales, Sonora, were arrested here today in connection with an alleged shortage of s60,000 in the accounts of the Mexican custom house at that point and are held in jail here for possible extradition to Sonora. The arrest of the two men resulted from dispute between them and the driver of an automobile which brought them here from Nogaes. When the men were arrested they told the off cers of the discovery by Mexican off cials of the deficit in the custom house funds and said they fled for fear they would be executed on suspicion that they were involved in the short age.
 According to the driver of the auto mobile a third man left Nogales by an- other route carrying with him part of the S60,0O0 alleged to have been stolen from the custom house funds.

GOVERNMENT FORMS
 WHEAT CORPORATION
Hoover Takes First of Series of Moves to Reduce Price of Bread = Organization to Buy and Sell Wheat.
(By Review Leased WIrel.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The food administration prepared today to take over the entire 1917 wheat crop, if nee esasry, to stabilize prices throughout the year. It formed a s50,000.O0 cor poration, with all of the stock held b. the federal government, to buy anI sell wheat at the principal terminals.
 The move was the first of a series to be taken to reduce the price of bread. Millers already have agreed to put themselves under voluntary regu- lations and are working out with .he food administration a differential scale of profits. Distribution of four Ly wholesale and the baking of bread wi be taken up next
 The hope of the food administration is to establish scale of prices from the farm to the grocery store, elimin- ating undue profits and ending spocU- lation. The maintenance of standar price for wheat, it's officials believe, IS the next important step.
 The wheat corporation will be put under the administrators grain div!- sion. Its chairman will be Herbert | Hoover and its president Julius Barnes, a Duluth exporter, now ser'- ing as a voluntary aide in the food sG- ministration. The price fixing con mittee will be headed by President Garfield of Williams college and wiI comprise F members, representa- producers and consumers.
 The wheat corporation will handle all allied grafa purchases and will do the buying for the American govern ment. If found advisabel it also will serve as broker for the milling inter ests, purchasing wheat for the flour mills to keep the market steady. Ths allies will be required to purchas Q flour instead of wheat, on the theory that manufacturing costs will be re- duced and American industry encour- aged.

 The Federal Farm-LOan Law enacted by a Demo cratic Congress last summer fayorite subject oi hostile remark in the late campaign by Mr. Hughes and other Republican orators
 Like the Federal Reserve Bank Act the idea was good enough perhaps but the form some how very bad. It would not work. The farmers them. selves indifferent The hearings around the country held by the Farm-LOan Board described as farCia The farmers of the country who time out of mind had been ground down by eXtOrtiOnae rates Ol interest their mortgage loans. would welcome really practical of relief such as the Re. publican Party for years had promised to enact and never did, but they could have no use for such a measure which the Democrats actually had enacted.
 It appears, however, that the farmers so very indifferent after all The system will not be fully organized much before next February but al ready 50OO0 farmers have applied for mortgage loans tOaling $l5OO00O0O. Two thousand requests for loans come from the strong Republican of Iowa alone As between the old condition of paying per cent anI upward such loans and getting them par tial payment plan at less than per cent, there is not much room for the play of partisan politics.

 Similar activity might be shown in the vicinity oG Seward.
 During past years only few men have planted garden truck There are cleared areas, including con. siderable acreage ground all of which should be under cultivation next year. Local merchants will buy all of the potatoes raised while the hay produced is in continuous demand and it is probable that there will be market for all garden truck either in town or for at the railroad camps.
 Investigate today, you who are agriculturaly n- cined. Hunt up the of cleared ground and if they do not intend to plant next season ask them to let you have the use of it.
