VOLUNTEERS WANTED
 FOR ARIZONA FIRST

Phoenix, June 2S.- The joint appeal of Governor Thos. B. Campbell, Dwight B. Heard, chairman of the Arizona Coun- cil of Defence, and Capt. John c. Greenwey, chairman of the Committee on Public Defense and Security, which was sent out this week to several thou sand men in Arizona. asking them to use their personal in- fluence to recruit the First Arizona Infantry to full war strength is receiving immediate response.
 With it's usual patriotic zeal Flagstaff sent in the first re- cruit in the name of George McNeil, son of Homer McNeil, formerly of the McNeil Print ing Company of Phoenix. Will liam Webb, manager of the Co., conino Sun, was the party to send in the first name.
 Edward Titcomb, prominent Nogales merchant, responded to the request by telegraph stating that he had sent an auto out over Santa Cruz county in charge of his son to make per sonal solicitation for enlistment in the First Arizona.
 The patriotism of Arizona has been shown in every cam paign thus far waged in behalf ofthe Nation in the present war crisis will again be demonstrat- ed by cooperation of everyone in the state to save for Arizona it's only unit of the army. It is contended by those wl'o have devoted their time and energy to this matter that the direct appeal by the Governor and members of the Arizona Coun- cil of Defense should result in bringing the First Arizona up to full war strength within a fortnight.
 This local campaign IS iii line with the Presidents Re- cruiting Week program for en- listment of 7O,000 volunteers throughout the country to bring all army units up to full war strength.

WOULD TAWART PLANS 0F
 FOOD SPECULATORS

Tucson, Ariz., July 5-In or der to thwart the plans of food spectators who are seeking to contract far in advance for the grain crops of the state, farm CTS are being asked to avoid making such contracts and it is being pointed cut to them, that they might as well get the prof it from the increase in food pri- ces as the speculator. In other words, they are being shown that if it is a good thing for the speculator to buy up the crops, then it is good thing fer the farmer to hold on to them and take the profit which the spec ulator would otherwise make.
 Fair profits to the farmer will encourage food production this fall and next spring and will keep prices normal. If speculators succeed in tying up the grain crops, prices will be abnormal and the farmer will not get the return he is entitled to.
 The Arizona Council of de- fense is Investigating whereev- CT possible, reported specula- tion in food products and pitt less publicity will be applied to those who take advantage of the war situation to extort abnormal profits from the con- Sumer.
