MANY APPEALS ARE

 Fifty per cent of these, said Nal colm Fraser, the governors private secretary, "arc letters from relatives of men in the military service asking the governor to get them out.
 They cant seem to understand, added Mir. Fraser, that after these men are sent to Camp Funston the governor has no jurisdiction. not a bit more than you or me. Only be- fore the men have been certified into the service and in cases of the ques- ton of industrial or agricultural eX- emption has the governor any au- thorIty 10 act.

He was then certified to the district board, and called upon to appear for entrainment on September 18th. The Mexican consul at Jerome, Efren Orneleas, took the matter up, and charged that the board was infring- ing upon the rights of Flores as a Mexican citizen. In order to further investigate the matter, the board can celled the order requiring Flores to show up on September 18th, and the consul made an attempt to free Flores from the situation into which he had gotten himself After considerable amount of dickering, the board re- fused to extend any more considera- ton to Mir. Flores, and he was direct ed 10 be in Prescott yesterday morn ing, ready to make the trip. Flores, apparently coached by some of his friends, stood pat, and refused to come in. The board states that the man has now forfeited all chance ot getting to Fort Riley, and that noth- ing now remains but to turn him over to the military authorities as a genu- inc deserter.

EATING PLACES ARE
 AIDING IN FOOD SAVING

PHOENIX, Oct. ll.-At the State capitol has been held the first meet
 ing of the hotel and restaurant com
 mittee called by Chairman Riordan,
 State food administrator. Those at
 tending were: NJ. T. Grier, Jefferson
 Hotel, PhocniN chairman: Arthur
 I.uhrs. Commercial Hotel, Phoeni!; \. V. Riley, Adams Hotel, Phoenix; C.. II. Reed, superintendent Harvey
 houses. Needles, and Tom Devine,
 Beale Hotel, Kingman. Possibly the
 keynote address of the session was
 bv c. II. Reed of the Harvey house
 system, which he stated is giving all possible help in the conservation
 movement. For instance, the use ot wheat flour has been cut down at least $ per cent in the dining cars. In the svstcm's eating houses and hotels there has been general substitution of rice flour and cornmeal, while there has been an enormous percent age of cut in the quantity Of sugar and fats heretofore used. Poultry and hsh have been substituted for beet, mutton and pork The hotel men are formulating plans expected to do much towards simplifying menu cards
 and decreasing the cost of livlng' while utilizing the products best avail able and leaving the food served both Dalatable and nutritious.
