maintenance for the wife or dependents of the recruit. Sergeant J. E. Mitchell, in charge of the local office at First avenue and Adams, announced last evening.
 When the Canadian or British sub feet enters the war against the Teuton he does so for the duration of the con- fIict only and afterwards may return to his peaceful pursuits, no longer service being required by his govern ment. The separate maintenance plans in vogue in both England and Canada, which have proven entirely satls1ac- tory, will be applied in the case ot men who go from this country, it is an nounced. so that a man need have no fear of his wife or children suffering in his absence.
 This is a time of surprises and un- usual things" said Sergeant Dunlap, who is also connected with the local recruiting station but it is probable that even under these circumstances the British flag floating over Phoenix may have occasioned some comment. Things like this, however, will serve to impress upon the people of the United States that their country is at war with England and France and the other allies against a common foe, and that therefore, their interests are identical Then again it serves to remind Amer jeans that their brethren to the north are taking an active part in this con flict and are worthy of the support and cooperation of those who live with them on the North American con tinent"
 Sergeant Mitchell is optimistic over the outlook for the British and Cana dian recruiting mission in Arizona and expects that Sergeant Dunlap and Ser geant Bury will be kept busy assisting him in the work.

of mines in the examination of all mining companies that ask permission of the corporation to place their stock on sale in this state.
 This service is given the commis- sion without pay. as that department of the state is not provided with the necessary funds to pay for such exam ination. The bureau of mines also will see that the money that is paid for stock is expended for development work rather than to line the pockets of the promoters.
 Following is this important an- nouncement made by the corporation commission.
 The Arizona corporation commission has long been desirous of making ar engagements whereby the commission could be enabled to make a detailed and scientific examination of the af- fairs of the mining, oil and other cor porations that seek permission to sell stock in this state. The commission, however has always been handicapped by the lack of a sufficient appropria- tion, and unlike other state commits sions, vested with the enforcement of the blue sky statutes, has no funds with which to secure the services of competent mining engineers.
 However, without charge to the state, the commission has just been enabled to consummate a working agreement with the state bureau of mines, department of the Tucson university, headed by Professor Willis, whereby the commission will receive without charge the services of Profes- sor Willis and his corps of engineers for the purpose of making the neces- sary investigations of companies ask ing to sell stock in Arizona.
 That this will tend in a large measure to eliminate wildcat promot- CTS goes without saying.
 Another remedial effect of this ar engagement is that through the engi- neers of the bureau of mines, the commission will be able to see that funds received by the sale of stock to the public, are legitimately spent in development work, rather than to line the pockets of promoters.
 In connection with this matter, the commission wishes to announce that hereafter it will be necessary that ap- plications for permission to sell stock in Arizona, be submitted to the com mission in duplicate. One copy is to be retained by the commission, while the other goes to the bureau of mines

REGULATION ON
 COAST SEVERE

Something like this may happen in Phoenix if the necessity arises.
 A visitor to Phoenix yesterday stated that the authorities in Los An geles were strictly enforcing the in- structions of the food administration relating to meatless days. So drastic is this enforcement that concerns failing or refusing to comply with the request of the administration, were feeling the heavy hand of the law and in some in stances have been instructed to close their places of business during the duration of the war.
 In one instance store selling gen eral supplies. including meats. sought to take advantage of the fact that reg ular meat merchants would not sell meat on Tuesdays, this having been designated as the "meatless day" of the week. This particular merchant placed a sign in his windows setting forth that if the butchers would not

 few home grown peaches are on the market now. They are retailing for 10 cents a pound. Pears are about off the market, only a few Arizona pears remain.
 Bananas continue to advance in price, as the shipping facilities of the United Fruit company are cut down. This big concern has already lost a large part of it's magnificent fleet through communicating by the gov ernment. and as a result it has been impossible for the company to bring as many bananas into the country as formerly.

this after they had in some cases been
doctoring for months without obtaining
any benefit. But don't take the, old
forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or
tincture of iron simply to save few
cents. You must take iron in a form
that can be easily absorbed and assimi-

to do you any good, otherwise it may
prove worse than useless. Many an ath-

above by DR.. e. Sauer, is one of the newer
organic iron compounds. Unlike the older
inorganic iron products, it is easily as
simulated, does not injure the teeth, make
them black, nor upset the stomach; on
the contrary, it is most potent remedy,
in nearly all forms of Indigestion, as well
Manufacturers have such great confidence
in Nuxated Iron that they offer to for

DEMAND FAIR PLAY

The farmers are up in arms over
the proposed price for wheat. The
thing they object to is not the low
price. They would be satisfied with
even lower price than the one that
has been proposed were prices at the
same time fixed all along the line to
the consumer. This plan Of fixing the
price of the farmers product and then
trusting to the patriotism Of the mid
dlemen to exact only a reasonable
profit will never solve the problem.
Give the farmer fair price for his
wheat based upon the cost Of produc-
ton, and in the same way fix the price
Of the product Of wheat. PALERMO

The enemies Of the farmers organi-

the recent proclamation by Governor
Frazier dealing with the law enforce

that the Governor and the League are
upholding the lawless element in. this
state. AS matter of fact however,
the Governor proved that he is deter
mined that the laws shall be enforced
in this state-and against all law yio-
lators. The attempts will fail, because
the farmers have come to judge these
matters for themselves. - STARK

California Wants
League
(F'rom the Farmers News, San Fran
cisco, Cal)

Two years ago North Dakota showed
the other states of the union how to
elect farmer governor, through an
organization known as the North Da-
kota Farmers Nonpartisan league.
They swept the state clean of old gang
politicians, electing every one of their
candidates, except one. The news,
whenever and wherever it got out,
created furore, for it proved that
farmers can get together if they will.
1t may be noted as significant that this
bit of news, however, received little or
no comment in the press except of a
derogatory kind for farmers organized,
are not looked upon favorably by poll
ticians and manipulators It means
generally that such fellows must go.
The politicians will have to hunt new
jobs and the manipulators devise new
ways of operating swindling schemes
on the public under the name and
guise of business. Business means adj
vertising which can not be retained by
newspapers if opposition is allowed to
develop in either news or editorial col
umns. Thus the greatest educational
factor of the age, the press, has become
largely influenced by profit and policy
instead of public good.
Now, in the Hon. ]. M. Baer, North
Dakota has elected a farmer congress-
man. He is the first and only man
elected strictly by farmers as repre-
senting farmers in congress. Next
year. if the blowing straws tell the
winds direction truly, there will be a
hundred more from the Northwestern,
Western and Middle Western states
Organizations to that end are being
perfected now.
Farmers all over the United States
have hailed the election of this first
farmer congressman as one of the
greatest victories politically for the
common people in the past generation.
The big thing about it is that there
will follow many more along the same
trail to Washington a year hence. In
spite of the fact that along it's sides
in ambush will be waiting all sorts of
enemies with all sorts of weapons for
their undoing, most of them will pass
through in safety. If California farm
ers will fully appreciate their oppor-
tunity, which is knocking now, we, too,
can have our share of rural members
to help agriculture in the great West,
and through the strength of numbers
and combined achievement, receive also
our share Of legislative benefits
