An Arizona City Of Distances.

Mesa (Ariz,) streets are eighty feet
wide, and every block comprises ten
acres. a residence building site there
averages about an acre When you
ask an address In Mesa and the oblig-
ing inhabitant directs you to walk six
blocks 1t doesn't sound far, but you
realize the distance before you arrive.
Mesa was laid out by Mormons, who
favored unusually wide streets for at
tractiveness and who made the ten
acre blocks in order that every family
might be more or less self sustaining
in time of Indian raids, when the fam
lily garden might be the only source of
food-El Paso Herald.

1T IS UP TO MR.. HOOVER

Claus Spreckles the sugar king of the coast, says
there is not world shortage of sugar. but an unusually
large crop Before the committee investigating the sub
ec he stated the refneres of the coast generally were
closed having nothing to refine In replying to the cues
ton as to the cause of this condition he asserted the
blame lay with Food Administrator Hoover who he said
got the reners to agree not to import sugar and also as
to price fixing only after fifteen meetings He then
makes the grave charge that George NJ Roph the San
Francisco sugar rener who of the three American
members of the international sugar committee named by
Hoover had contracted for the entire output of Hawaii
plantations. He added: His price of 20 cents hundred
less than any price for imported sugar gave Rolph an
advantage of $l,50000O year over us his rivals"
These charges might be grave if anyone but Spreckes
made them This enterprsing gentleman following the
footsteps Of his father Old Claus Spreckes has become

CAR SHORTAGE AND THE REMEDY

The car shortage in Oregon is growing again and Mon
day it stated by the Public Service Commission to be
about 1000 in the state of which the Southern Pacific
responsible for 1461 At the same time was stated
by the authority that the cars held over time by
shippers during the week amounted to $50 days for
In other words in round numbers 100 cars wore used
the entire week for warehouses; They not unloaded
because the shippers preferred to pay the demurage
rather than go to the trouble and expense Of unloading
them It stated further that the worst offenders in
this line the big shippers the very ones who com
plain oudest the shortage. This is the same
spirit shown by those who refuse to heed any request
for saving or substituting foods in order to keep the

porkes be forced to act decenty If no other means
can be found it would well repay the cost to call special

with the demurrage system and making criminal Of

showing OF the Public Service Commission is that 81 cars
are held idle all the time by careless crminally heed

A Hoover Christmas Dinner

ban, until the housewife feels like Civ
ing up the Christmas dinner altogeth-

poor spirit, and little invention. Let
us think out a repast that must meet
/ the approval of even Mr.. Hoover!
True to our food pledge we can have
but three courses. For soup have to-
mato bisque. This is easily prepared
by using any concentrated tomato soup
and adding milk. There are only two
precautions to be observed. Be sure to
use an enameled ware saucepan which
will not be affected by the acid of the
tomato and which will not darken the
color of the bisque; second, stir milk
and tomato together when only luke
warm. Heat gradually, thus avoiding
curdling.
Instead of turkey, try this year an
old fat hen whose laying days are
nearly over. Use one of those excellent
oval broilers of enameled ware, such as
come to cook hams in; they also have
a tray in them on which to cook fish.
Cut up the fowl and place on the fish
tray in the boiler; put boiling water
underneath, enough to reach the chick
en-, but not to cover it. Cooked in this
way for several hours the old hen win
be tender and delicious. If you have
not one of these boilers, make yourself
