STEAMER MAN OF ALASKA IS
 LOST ON BOAT
Frank Yerney, Mariner of Alaska Steamers, Lost Life When Vacuum
 Was Torpedoed.

Frank J. Yerney, second officer of the American steamer Vacuum, who lost his life when that steam CT was sunk by German U boat off the coast of Ireland several weeks ago, was well known in Jul neau and along the Alaskan coast. Yerney for several years had been working as officer of the cable ship Burnside and was also an off cer of the steamer Seward for sev- eral years. He left Seattle and the Pacific Coast on the Seward when that steamer was sent to the east coast.
 Yerney was on the steamer AL gonquin when that steamer was sunk and escaped from the sink ing steamer without injury,
 He had been member of Se- attle Harbor Masters, Mates and Pilots of the Pacific Coast since 1910. He left Seattle for the At lantic coast about year ago as third officer of the steamship Sew ard, when that vessel was sold by the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Yerney was on this coast about fourteen years, and served on var ious government vessels before ob taining his ticket as a master mari ner. For time he was second of ficer of the mine planter Ring gold
 Yerney was born--in Antwerp, Belgium, thirty-six years ago, but was naturalized many years ago. It was on account of his foreign birth, however, that he left the Ring gold, the government having issued an order that only native-born Americans should serve as officers of such vessels.

MUST INCREASE FOOD
 SUPPLY THIS YEAR

April, 16, 1917 To Our Correspondent Banks and tn,
 Public:
 In cur Monthly Bulletin we have repeatedly pressed upon public atten tion the gravity of the situation which . now confronts the world in the scarci ty of food supplies, but we would mol feel that we had done our duty if we did not utter final word of warning and of appeal upon the subject. The situation grows more serious as spring advances and the disaster to the winter wheat crop of this country is understood.
 All of Europe-neutral as well as warning countries-has been placed upon food rations to eke out supplies until the new crop is harvested. This country entered the present crop year last July with 64,000,0O0 bushels of wheat carried over from the crop of 1915, and in 1916 produced 4S2, 2,000,000 bushels of winter wheat and 158,000,- 900 of spring wheat; total supply, S04,000,000. This year there will be practically no wheat carried over and the governments estimate upon the winter crop forecasts yield of only 430,000,000. On this basis the spring wheat crop must be 214,000,000 bush els larger than last year in order to give us a wheat supply equal to what we will export and consume in the crop year now closing. The spring alarming outlook. The spring wheat crop is notoriously subject to weather conditions. More spring wheat should be sown, but it is doubtful if the wheat shortage can be made up. Other food crops must be grown to meet the deficiency.
 This country is now at war, and our Allies, Belgium, France, Great Brit ain and Italy are dependent upon us for food. They will have no reserves and must have more from us in the coming year than in the past, or they will not be able to feed all their peo- pie. Added to the appeals of starv- ing humanity will be military reasons making it impossible for us to put an embargo upon the exportation of food. We must divide what we grow this year with these countries, and with the neutral ountries-Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzer. land and Spain--which are not self sustaining in grain supplies. And not only must we supply enough to keep these peoples from starving, but enough to cover the heavy losses at sea which result from the submarine

Needed Jury of Women

A tailor who had been wrongfully accused of murder, and who had an excellent defense, seemed very deject- ed when brought up for trial.
 What's the trouble?" whispered the counsel, observing his clients dis tress as he surveyed the jurymen.
 "It looks very bad for me-" said the defendant, "unless some steps are taken to dismiss that jury and get in a new lot. There isn't a man among them but what owes me money for clothes"

this work without help from outside. The aggregate result will depend up- on the efficiency of the local organiza- tion.
 We take the liberty of addressing not only our own Bank correspon- dents, but all bankers, believing that they will be quick to recognize the gravity of the situation, and that their relations with the business community are such as to enable them to secure general cooperation. We would ap- preciate advice as to what is being done in your locality.
 Respectfully, THE NATIONAL CITY BANK OF NEW YORK.
The Coconino sun., 1917-04-27

warfare. If we grow no more food
 than we did last year--and so far the
 outlook is for less-there is danger
 of food situation such as the world
 in modern times has not dreamed of. No other country has the resources in land and population to meet this em- ergency but the United States. There is no business upon which all other business depends as upon this of growing big crop in America this year. And the work must be started immediately. There is no time to wait on organization from outside. The emergency can be met only by spontaneous action in every, state, county and school district, forming loca Organizations.
 Picture in your mind what condi- tions will be in our own cities next winter, and of the effect upon all in- dustry, if food supplies are scarcer and dearer than they are now! It must be impressed upon everybody that no wage advances or regulation of prices can add one bushel of wheat or potatoes to the supply after the growing season is over.
 The country is aroused, but mere alarm will not accomplish results. There must be organized personal work, headed in every locality be men of force and influence.
 The Governor of Iowa has called for the enlistment of boys from 13 to IS to work either in town gardens or upon the farms. President Wilson says that these boys will be Soldiers of the Commissary" There are fine possibilities in this idea. The boys may be brought to feel that they are serving their country as truly as their older brothers who enlist in army or navy; and the girls should have chance as well. They should have a medal to keep as lifelong evidence of their service in the last great war let us hope-of the worlds history.
 Some of our correspondent banks are arranging for garden plots for all their clerks. Industrial employers are doing likewise, and will provide seeds and instruction. Organized work of this kind with suitable supervision will be most effective. Every en- ployer in your locality should be waited upon by a committee, and in- vited to cooperate in this manner.
 Although it is of course desirable to increase the farm crops, and espe- cially the spring wheat crop, it may be that the best chance to increase the food supply is by the garden tracts in and adjacent to towns, where labor additional to the regular farm supply can be secured for growing potatoes, beans, onions, etc. Each community is able to go ahead upon
