CURTAIL TIN EXPORTS

\ report is circulated in the tin plate
 trade that the president as soon as au- thorized by congress by the passage of
 bill giving him discretionary power
 over exports. will place an embargo on
 exports of tin plate to conserve the
 supply in this country for the use of the
 food packers It is thought probable,
 however, that the embargo can be lifted
 in tiie fall when the fruit and vegetable
 packing season is over. At this time
 practically the entire world is depend
 ing upon the United States for tin
 plate as the Welsh tin plate trade is
 prostrated. Packers of olive oil in France and Spain and the fishing in dustry in Scandinavia are Geneu7 7ont
 for tin containers manufactured either her or abroad from American Tin ,,is4te. In anticipation of the cutting off of the American supply of tin plates Scandinavian packers have already re verted to wooden containers and in this country tobacco manufacturers are ex- perimenting with paper as a substitute for tin plate used in making tobacco cans Manufacturers of wood and paper containers of various kinds are making the most of the situation to introduce new devices which will temporarily at least take the place of the tin contain plS

 SQUEECEE TIRE

Diamond Squeegee tires have giv- en us better service and more mile- age than any other make of tires we have ever used.' That was the state ment of Mrs. Frank Parker 2400 West Adams street yesterday, who declared that she had never secured less than 5000 miles from a Squeeze tire.
 Mrs. Parker is an enthusiasI. booster for the "SQueegee" She de- clares that they give more service than any other make of rtie.
 We have secured as high as 12.00e miles with some of the tires we have used,' said Mrs Parker yesterday. While a majority of cur driving has been in the Salt River valley. the tires have nevertheless been put to strenuous tests"
 We have used Diamond SqUceeee tires for the past two or three years on our Studebaker Four. We wouldn't use anything else because we believe that we get more mileage from this make. We have never secured less than 5000 miles,"
 Mrs. Parker used 32X4 tire. She believes that the life of a tire de- bends much or. the care of the own CT In other words to secure the greatest service from tire, it is her belief that the tire should be kept well inflated.

PEOPLE C|VEN F0ODFACTS TO
 INCREASE CROF

The committee on ood production,
 much hard work, has formulated on behalf of the Arizona Council of De- fense a most comprehensive report showing conditions and what may be done in this state to increase food pro duction. This report is full of prac-
 tical advice to the people in general and farmers in particular and is as fol- lows:
 The agricultural mobilize ion con | ference at the University of Arizona, April 20 and 21, the inquiries of the committee on food production, conserv-
 atiOn and distribution of the Arizona ! Council of Defense, and information received from other sources, have af- fOrded material for an outline of a crop campaign for the ensuing season.
 General Conditions In general the irrigating water sup l ply is abundant throughout Arizona, and the heavy rain and snowfall o1 April has created a favorable condition i for dry farming operations in the l northern part of the statc. Skilled farm labor is insufficient in the larger 1 irrigated sections notably Salt River valley and the Colorado River valley near Yuma Farm machinery is high priced but still obtainable. Agricul- ! tural capital could be used to advant- i age in larger amounts than is at pres l ent available. There is a serious short age in certain items of the seed supply, such as potatoes. beans and certain | vegetable seeds
 The season up to the present time ! has been cold and backward. but this i fact is associated with good water i supply, excepting in the southern range country.
 1 On the whole, conditions are favor ! able for a considerable expansion in agricultural production. While there
 will be 2 decreased yield of barley,

GRADES ORGANIZE TO
PRESERVE

The high school seventh and
eighth grades have organized into an
S. B. O., patterned after the high
school Student Body Organization,
to go into effect today. The success
of the high school organization led
to the forming of the grade associa-
ton.
The main object of the new S. B.
O. is to stop the students from cross
ing the school lawns and to stop the
boys smoking on their way to and
from school.
The constitution and bylaws for
the organization have not yet been
formulated, but it is understood that
the rules will be much the same as
those enforced in the high school.
The officers >of the organization
are:
President--Bert Tardie.
Vice president-JOhn kOors.
Chief of police-Rupert Stechman.
Councilmen-Leslie RacO, Way
land Carpenter and Louis Neumann.
