latest case is that of a lieutenant of the
medical reserve, who was convicted of
drinking with enlisted men and disgrace
ing the military service by being intoxi-
Gated while in uniform. The lieutenant
has been dismissed from the army and

NATIONS BIC FOOD
INVENTORY STARTS SOON
War Emergency Food Survey to BE
Launched By Bureau Of Markets, u.
S. Department of Agriculture.

The most comprehensive inventory oil
food resources in the United States even
made 1.-THE war emergency food survey
provided for by Congress will be started
within the next few days, when the first
batch of the more than three quarters OF
a million schedules or missionaries to
be sent out will be placed in the mails.
The bureau of markets has been com
missioned by the secretary of agriculture
to carry out the big stock taking enter
prise with the cooperation of other
branches of the department. This sur.
yey will touch every dealer in food and
food materials, every food manufactur-
er, and ever holder of substantial guam
titles of foods in the country except the
family, requiring them to report stocks
which they have on hand Dee. 81, 1917.
A separate schedule will be sent to rep
resentative number of specially selected
homes throughout the country and upon
returns from these an estimate will be
made for all homes
The approaching survey follows a pre-
liminary inventory for limited mum
Der of food items made Aug. 81 last,
results of which have been nearly all
tabulated.
The aim of the major survey to be be-
gun shortly is to give the government,
producers, dealers and consumers exact
information of the quantities of the va
rious important food materials on hand. J
1t is only with trustworthy figures of
existing food stocks on hand as a basis,
as was pointed out when Congress pro- I
vided for the survey, that safe plans can
be made for conserving and distributing
foods already on hand, and for producing
the foods needed next season.

Against Germany.

Buenos Aires. Dec. l7.-Prominent Ar

fore, will be expected from wholesal,
and retail grocers, bakers, confectione
and all other dealers in commodities
containing food materials; from ware
housemen and cold storage concerns
from commissaries of institutions and
commercial and industrial establish
ments; from exporters; from manufae.
turers employing any food product in
their operations; and from representa-
| tives of foreign governments who buy
supplies in this country. The govern
ment desires reports even from concerns
using foodstufs as ingredients in prod
ucts not ordinarily considered food; from
bottlers of soda water and similar bev-
erages, and from chewing gum manufac-
turers, for example, because of the sugar
employed.
Penalties for Failure to Report.
Altogether, more than three-quarters
of million schedules will be distribut-
ed. Mailing lists have been prepared to
cover the field as fully as possible, but
some individuals and concerns who
should make report of food materials
held by them undoubtedly have been I'M
avodaby missed. The bureau of mar
kets therefore is asking each such indi-
vidual and concern that does not re-
ceive schedule by Jan. 2 to write to the
bureau of markets, L. S. department of
agriculture, Washington, d. c., or to any
of the agencies of the bureau through
out the country, for copy. The local
addresses of agencies are given with
each of the three quarters of a million
schedules which are being distributed,
and may conveniently be obtained by in
quiry of any business associate who has
received one of the schedules
The act of Congress providing for the
war emergency food survey fixed fine
not exceeding $1,000 or imprisonment not
exceeding one year, or both, as punish |
ment for any individual or concern who
wilfully fails to make report when re
luested, or wilfully reports incorrectly. !
The bureau of markets, however, counts |
On the full cooperation of the affected |
trades and industries, and hopes that |
here will be very few cases in which it |
will be necessary to enforce compliance
through prosecution.

 According to the members of the commission, the new warden, A. A. Anderson, of Clifton, who has been in his new office only since June Is, seems to have settled nicely into his position as head of the state prison. No complaints were heard from any Of the inmates concerning their treat ment
 Al present there are 200 convicts at the penitentiary including one wo- man who was sent from Mesa, having been convicted of forgery. This wo- man has been in poor health for sev- eraI weeks, her case having been con siCered critical during the past week. She is well cared for, however, and it is not considered wise to have her removed.
 Numerous improvements are to be made at the penitentiary, including new pumps, new pump house and a complete overhauling of the electric light equipment of the prison. The lest sessionof the legislature approp- riated $40,000 for the purchase of land for prison farm ,$1O ,0OO addi- tional to equip it and also $24,0OO for other improvements at the prison.
 The only factories now in operation tory, a shoe shop and a shop where clothing is made for the inmates of the prison. It is the intention of the commission to establish several other factories in the near future.

ARBITRARY ACT FIXES QUOTA UNJUSTLY.

An effort is being made to correct an in- justice done Arizona in the matter of fixing the quota of this state for the seective army based on population arbitrarily fixed and hav- ing no relation to the real number of inhabi- tants in the state. The arbitrary population is 409,203. The population of New Mexico arriv- ed at in the same arbitrary way is 352 392. The quota of New Mexico is 622 less than that of Ari- ;ona.
 The population of Arizona in 1910 was little in excess of 100000; that of New Mexico was in excess of 3O0OOO The official estimated population of Arizona in 1915 was 246OOO while that of New Mexico was 396, 900. What makes it worse in Arizona is the great alien population of the large mining counties which cannot be drawn against for the selective army but even this population with the Indian popu- lation added to the white population would not produce such figures as have been given to the state by the provost marshal general.
 Originally the population of the state for drafting purposes was fixed by Washington authorities at 264,O0O. After the registration other figures, those arbitrarily fixed were sent with instructions to substitute them for those formerly sent and fixing the quota for this state
 Col. Breen in charge of the draft in this state called the attention of the provost mar shal general to all facts and he received reply that no change would be made The matter was then taken up with the war department without result.
 Then relief was sought through congress which gives promise of remedial legislation which will affect not only this state but many other localities

DISPLAY RECRUITING POSTERS

The United States Navy Publicity Bureau, Commander K. N. Bennett, U. s. N, officer in charge, has just completed an arrangement by which an attractive display of recruiting posters will be officially made at all Of the state and county fairs in the United States. More than two thou sand fair secretaries and managers and specifications for the erection of a Navy Billboard on their grounds. To each of these has been sent de- tailed plans, prepared by an architect picture of a completed board and three of the newest posters issued by this Bureau. sample display board is now on exhibition alongside the U. s. 5. Recruit in Union Square.
 Prior to this the Publicity Bureau also made arrangements by which all of the amusement parks and pleasure grounds throughout the country were similarly billed. All of this has been carried out in an effort to especially reach the young men of the country who have responded most readily to the call of the Navy. In this work the Bureau has had the cooperation of Charles and John Ringing, of Ring ling Bros., who have had all of the bili-rosters covering the country make distribution of Navy posters with their own. Both circuses are also carrying recruiting tents which are taken charge of by Navy recruit. ing officers wherever the shows ap near.

THE COUNTRIES HONOR.

The large number of subscribers, more than 100000, and the large amount subscrib- ed over 5000 900 0OO to the liberty loan was splendid demonstration of the worth of good name. For generations the United States Gov ernment bono has been synonym for absolute security, because the honor of our country is behind 1t. As good a Government bond,' as common term as As good gold in speaking of securities investments.
 The United States has reaped the reward from its own people for never having defaulted obligation. ''Our sacred honor' is no idle phrase in the United States. The tradition of our national honor began in Washington s day, when in his first inaugural address he sad, ''The foundations of our national defense will be laid in inc pure and mmutable princi- pies of morality and it has been preserved through all ollr history.
 The horor of the United States is back of the liberty loan bonds and all America and all the world know that they are absolutely safe

1. W. W. LEADER
 HANGED AT BUTTE
Frank Little is Seized by Masked Men and Strung Up on Trestle; Had Been in Globe; Attacked the U. s.

BUTTE, Aug. 1.-Frank Little. member of the executive board of the Industrial Workers of the World and prominent in Arizona labor troubles, was taken from lodging house here early today by masked men and hanged to railroad trestle on the outskirts of the city. The body was cut down at s o'clock this morning by Chief of Police Murphy, who iden tified it. Little, in a recent speech, referred to the United States troops as Uncle Sam's scabs in uniform.
 Since his arrival recently from Globe, Little had made a number of speeches to the strikers, in all of which he attacked the government and urged the men to shut down the mines of the Butte district. His rec ord was under investigation by ade- quate authorities, whose attention had been called to his activities.
 On the other hand, report was current that Little was in the employ Of a prominent detective agency and one theory was that he was the vic tim of the radical element of which he appeared to be member.
 Little had addressed letter to Governor Campbell, of Arizona, pro- testing against the deportation of the Industrial Workers from Bisbee. Gov Campbell replied, telling Little he re- scented his interference and threats. Little was understood to have the con fidence of William Haywood, secre- tary of the Industrial Workers of the World
 When Little's body was cut down a card was found pinned to the under clothing It bore in red crayon let ters the inscriptions:
 Others take warning, first and last warning, '3-7-77' L DC S w IT.
 The figures ''3-7-77" are an old sign of the vigilantes in Montana
 Six masked men drove in an auto mobile to the front of Little's hotel at five minutes after 8 o'clock. One stood on the sidewalk while the oth CTS entered the house. The men first broke into an unoccupied room walk ing the landlord. According to hel statement the men came to her room and said: We are officers and want Frank Little."
 He is in room 32" she said.
 The men broke into that room. The landlady said she saw them half lead half carry Little across the sidewalk and push him into a ear.
 Little In Clifton Once.
 Old timers in Clifton recall tha- Little was a one time resident O. this place about 1907 and at tha time was identified with the I. W W. which organization had loca in this district. During the pas few weeks the man who was lynchet had been in Globe where he played an important part in calling th' strike in that district

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

:: The passage by the United States Senate on Wednesday of resolution authorizing sub mission to the state legislatures of a bone dry prohibition amendment to the Federal Consti- tuition marks the beginning of the end of ntoxi- eating beverages in the United States. The state legislatures must take action on this amendment within six years. Hundreds of thousands of men and women in the United States who heretofore have opposed local op- iion will support the Federal amendment and it is needless to say that the ''drys'' will rally their full forces. The handwriting is on the wall and the liquor manufacturer and the liqu- or dealers will be afforded ample opportunity to dispose of their stocks and invest their money in other and useful enterprises

DEAD BY THE SWORD.

It says iii the scriptures that those who i've by the sword shall die by the sword And the prophecy came to pass in the case of Frank Int tie, l. w. w leader and Haywood's rght-hand man. Little lived by violence and he died by violence He aas both shot and hanged by the reck until dead. He sowed discord, dissenslon and disaster and he reaped death. His zeal was worthy of d better cause.
 The manner of this mans death is to be re- gretted He shodld have been suppressed long ago by the government. He was being watched Ey government agents, and it was even said that they contemplated his arrest. But they waited too long.
 Public sentiment is aroused to white heat against agitators and idlers and sewers of dis sension at td:s perilous time. The nation IS at war Zealous patriots are beginning to chafe under the jibes and jeers and open treason of l. W. w. anarchists. The courts offer no re- course and the government is slow to act. Mob violence is the natural result.
 In his speeches at Butte Little referred to the United States soldiers as Uncle Sans scabs in uniform In another speech he said: elf the mines lrc taken under Federal control we will make it so damned hot for the govern ,nent that it will not be able to send any troops to France"
 Referring in another speech to his inter- view recently with Governor Campbell of Ari- zona Little said that he used these words: Governor ] don't give damn what your country is fighting for; I am fighting for the solidarity of labor.''
 Just week ago in Finn Hall ill Butte Lit tie used these words: "A city ordinance is simply piece of paper which can be torn up. The same cal: be said of the Constitution of the United States
 The l. w. W. song book freely circulated in Butte contained the following scuI1ilous, in- decent and sacrigious first verse:
 Onward Christian soldiers, rip and tear and smite
 Let the gentle Jesus bless your dynamite,
 Smash the doors of every home pretty maidens
 seize,
 Use your might and sacred right to treat her as
 you please.
 With the young men of the country march ing away to the battlefeds of Europe in the greatest war the world has ever seen, offering willing sacrifices in the struggle for liberty, Justice and the safety of democracy, such anar chistic uttelanccs is the spark that ignites the explosion of public indignation and manifests itself in mob violence.
 The deportations in Bisbee and Gallup and other places in the United States the lynching in Butte should serve as sufficient warning to the Federal authorities that they playing with fire by temporizing with element at home that is fast breeding internal revolution.
 If the United States marshals would arrest Haywood and throw him in jail and raid his headquarters in Chicago and go after his agent. everywhere in the same prompt and resolute style, it would help the government almost as much victory in France It would also save lot of trouble, dissension and possible boodshed in many parts of the country.

TREASON.

The wire sent to President Wilson We'd nesday by Haywood, secretary of the l. w. Ws IS treason i'll the worst form says the Arizona Gazette. He says to the president, if you do not return the deported men to Bisbee 25O,OOO l. W. W.s will walk out Which means the ruin of practically all crops and the closing of all lumber mills and mines The people are wondering how long such men Haywood are going to be allowed to preach treason and in- suit the dignity of the law.
 Long before those I. w.. Ws were deport- ed from Risbee, Haywood's s followers were on strike in most of the western states so the use of the Bishee episode is a mere excuse to threaten and initmidate still further. The fact is the I. W. w, leaders want a revolution in the United States and it is sure they will suc- ceed to great or less extent, if allowed to run things as they are now doing Stop them Un- cle Sam before it is too late
