The aid of every individual in Ari- Zona is solicited in making the Arizona Council of Defense an effective organi- zatiOn by proclamation issued yester- day afternoon by Governor Thomas E. Campbell on behalf of the council. The proclamation will be sent broadcast throughout the state.
 Urging conservation of the food, min eral and industrial resources of the state by each individual and corpora tion and heartily supporting the plan of President Wilson for universal mil ltary service. it is hoped that each citi- zen will be brought to a full realization of the conditions now existing and the necessity of adopting economic meas ures immediately.
 Among the more important measures embodied in the proclamation, the i'm mediate adoption of which is urged in every home. are: the elimination of wastes in the preparation and use of food; the usage of perishable foods in preference to staple products and canned goods; action on the part of merchants, wholesalers, jobbers and re- tailers to prevent all unWarranted or arbitrary increases in prices of food commodities; the exercising of every effort to plant all available land to various foodstuffs; and the organiza- ton and maintenance of all essential industries in the state.
 The proclamation is as follows:
 WHEREAS. recognizing the serious situation confronting the state of Ari- Zona and the United States, by reason of the present war with Germany:
 l, Thomas E. Campbell. governor of Arizona, by virtue of the authority in me vested, and in view of necessity of protecting life and property within the state of Arizona and of conserving her resources of range, farm. and industry, did on April IS, 1917 appoint and call together representatives of all the ac- tlNities of the state, for organization into the Arizona Council of Defense; and

 FUR HIGHWAYS

Realizing the importance of good roads for Arizona as a preparedness and defense measure, members of the committee working so hard to secure the signing of petitions calling high way bond election for Maricopa coun- ty are using renewed efforts to get every possible signature. Thefe are still a few lacking of the required number to make the petition legal and these names are being sought with re- newed energy.
 Dr. A. J. Chandler has secured near ly 100 signatures in his district alone and, most remarkable fact, not single person qualified to sign a petition has refused to do so. It is merely case, he says, Of personal solicitation which, alone, brings the opportunity to sign to the proper attention of the duly qualified
 J. B. Cook has secured over 250 sig natures in the Tempe section. He, like Dr. Chandler, has not met with refus- als but has found all people ap- preached heartily in sympathy with the movement.
 FOrward-loOking men in all sections of the state realize that for the pur- pose of moving men and supplies noth- ing is more essential than good roads. Railroads cannot be depended upon to reach all parts of the great state of Arizona but good roads can do so. No attack would, naturally, be made in a section where troops could easily be rushed by rail, but the remote places hard to reach would be the ones which would most easily fall victim to any force. For this reason and for the conservation of food supplies, adequate highways over which motor vehicles can be removed rapidly and readily are a first essential of military pre- paredness This has been proven over and over again in Europe during the present war.

These contracts will require that the lands be planted to some food pro- duct or fodder for animals such as beans, milo maize or corn and will run nearly four years, unless some unusual drought makes it impossible to furnish water.

House Peters. Lamara Today

The Happiness of Three Women" :" Albert Payson Terhunes thrilling drama of social life, is to serve not only as the vehicle in which House Peters returns to the Paramount pro- gram, but to introduce him and the charming Miss Myrtle Stedman as CO., stars at the Lamara today for the last time. Adele Harris has written a pho to-drama of gripping intensity out of MT. Terhunes vital story, and pro- duced with the care and artistry for which the Oliver Morosco Photoplay company is so famous, it will be one of the finest productions ever offered to the amusement seeking public. In the cast supporting the stars are such distinguished artists as L. w. Steers, Daisy Robinson. w. Hutchinson and Milton Brown.
 The Paramount comedy and Bray cartoon completes the program of merit.
