Last spring potatoes were selling for three pounds for quarter, but everyone was urged to plant pota- toes with the result that with the har vesting of the new crop, the price dropped and when 1 left in August po- tatoes were retailing at a cent and a half a pound.
 "All restaurants are classified and regulated as to the prices and number of courses. At the ordinary middle class places your meal is limited to 2S cents. No wheaton bread is served and no bread of any kind is served for lunch. For breakfast and dinner the patron is limited to two ounces which amounts to about one slice or to the equivalent in rolls"
 Sergeant Mitchell is very much in- terested in the working out of conser- vation plans in this country. He said: MT. Hoover and the food administra- tion are certainly tackling the food problem in the proper spirit and in so far as I have been able to observe in this state, the recommendations are be- ing followed with a spirit which reflects the high patriotism of Arizona busi- ness men and citizens generally
 There are sound reasons back of every point in the food conservation program and united efforts along the lines which MT. Riordan. your federal | food administrator is endeavoring to enforce in Arizona will bring victory that much closer"

NOTED SPEAKER
 HERE THURSDAY

Dr. Edgar F. Robinson of Stanford University. who is to lecture at the high school auditorium Thursday eve ming under the auspices of the Hi-Y lecture course. has reputation of be- ing one of the greatest orators on the Pacific coast.
 The Hi-Y management considers that it is very fortunate indeed to bring to Phoenix one of the strongest num- bers possible in Doctor Robinson. His famous lecture is on American leader ship in the present war
 Dr. Robinson appeared in Phoenix during the fair week before the Teach CTS association which was in session at that time The members were so enthusiastic over his lecture that they made such a strong demand on the management of the Hi-Y lecture course that it finally decided to bring him back to Phoenix as a special number.
 All holders of season tickets of the Hi-Y course will be s1cmitted free. On account of the importance of Dr. Rob- inson's message and the desire to have as many people as is possible to hear it, the general admission fee will be low.
 Tickets can be secured at the high school or the Y. M c. A. any time after Wednesday morning at o'clock.

VISITOR TELLS HOW ENGLAND |S
 SAVING | ODDS

Some interesting sidelights on the food situation in France and England are given by Sergeant J. E. Mitchell of the Seventy second Seaforth High landers, Canadian infantry, who is a member of the British recruiting com mission now visiting Phoenix and other Arizona points.
 Sergeant Mitchell is one of the sur vivors of a Canadian regiment, which Dn account of it's piVota; position eX- perienced some of the fiercest fighting in the famous battle of Vimy Ridge. out of 4S0 men in our unit who went into battle Monday" said the sergeant, just 63 were left Wednesday," Mitchell escaped with a serious wound which kept him for months lingering between life and death in q base hospital. Speaking of the food situation he said:
 People in Arizona can have no con- ception of the pinched rations which are being allowed in European nations 70 even persons of means. In the French towns back of the line it was next to impossible to secure anything to eat outside of bread, butter, eggs and cof- fee. In some of the larger towns. meat previously purchased by the patron at a shop would be prepared in a cafe but not otherwise. I gained a good insight into the scarcity of sugar in England
Arizona republican., 1917-12-18

when as convalescent I was the guest in the home of London railroad of ficial, one of the leading men in the office organization of the Paddington station of the Great Western. Though sugar was on the table it did not take me long to discover that none of the members of the fami.y was using it in his tea ard upon inquiry 1 learned that it was impossible to buy it in quantities larger than one pound. l was told that England used to get beet sugar from Germany before the war and it retailed at the equivalent in American money of four cents a pound. At the time left England four months ago it was selling at 13 cents pound. During my stay in the hospital I had accumulated seven small sacks of lump sugar which had been thoughtfully sent me by my sister in Canada and when I discovered this fact I was actually embarrassed with my riches. 1 took my prize amounting in all to perhaps a dollars worth to the home where I had been so indly treated and you can rest assured that the presentation of my store was gratefully received and with as much enthusiasm as though I had presented a gift worth several times it's value.
 Long before I got out of the hospital I had an opportunity to observe the thoroughness with which England is carrying out her food conservation program. Every garbage can in this large establishment which at the time I was there cared for 2,sOo men, is in- spected every day and if so much as a scrap of bread or meat or fat of any kind is found in one of them it is cer- tain that the person responsible hears from it. This system is followed out with rigid thoroughl.ess and persons found guilty of waste, even in such minor particulars as have mentioned are severely fined. Tie conservation oi fats is especially watched as all waste fat is utilized in the manufacture of nitro -glycerine.

 They called her "The F'irefly'' on Broadway, where she made life merry for many revelers. She was a cabaret entertainer at one of the big restau- rants. and until the great war closed the cafes early and made all-night life a thing of the past, The Firefly knew no other world than ''her Broadway"
 And then she found herself out of work, the town flooded with idle cab aret performers, and her daily tour of the booking offices only journey of Encouragement.
 This was not The Fireflys greatest sorrow. Her worthless husband spent his time carousing with other women and spending the meager salary which his pretty little wife earned.
 At last she accepted an offer as en- tertainer in a desert mining camp, and bidding a fearful goodbye to her New York, she left for Baxter Juno | tion, with only a one-way ticket and enough money to buy food. Her hus- band kept the rest.
 But had she known what awaited her in the land of sagebrush, sand hills and cactus, the tears would have changed to smiles, and her sorrow to merrymaking, for it is the surprise in store for her which makes ''The Fire fly of Tough Luck" a great drama of desert life
 Alma Reubens is at her best in the title role of The F'irefly, and scores a tremendous hit in this drama of real men and real women.

 Taylor Holmes at Hip A double program will be offered at the Hip today and tonight, presenting for the final times "The Mormon Maid" which has been viewed by many | in the two days of it's stay so far and which will be shown in conjunction with another complete program pie l ture, "A Small Town Guy" This is the latest Taylor Holmes comedy drama and has not been shown as yet even in Los Angeles.
 On account of the coming of MT Holmes and his company to Phoenix to film 4Ruggles of Red Gap" the management of the Hip induced the film exchange in Los Angeles to break an ironclad rule and permit "A Smal Town Guy" to be shown prior to its release date in the cities. It will be an introduction for MT. Holmes, who has only recently consented to appear before the camera. The coming of Mir Holmes first picture, Efficiency Ed gar's Courtship,'' which ran in story form in the Saturday Evening Post to the Hip Sunday and Monday of nex week, makes this very timely.
