War Recipe Column

Food will decide the war;" says
Mr.. Hoover.
Not, as we thought in the first rush
of our enthusiasm, by starving our
households or by rationing our citi-
zens, but by learning how to use what
we have as we have never learned
before. Food means, first of all, bread.
Bread in some form every human be-
ing must have. To most of us it has
for many years meant only wheat
bread. And yet there are numerous
other kinds, most of them equally
nourishing, all of them equally val
liable.
Every woman doing her bit in the
kitchen is component part of vast
army of twenty million housekeepers.
What is done within her own four
walls may seem of little value, but
when it is multiplied by twenty mill
ion the result is stupendous. The sub
stitution of half-pound of corn-meal
a day for the same quantity of white
flour means daily saving of not only
ten million pounds of wheat, but of
100000 day in cold cash.
Wheat bread may be made with rs
per cent of corn-meal. 1t is delicious,

PAN-GERMANiSM

(From a pamphlet issued by the
kaiser after conference in Potsdam
palace in 1892, when plans were laid
for world conquest.)
"The pan-German empire: From
Hamburg on the North sea to the Per-
sian gulf. Our immediate goal: $780,
100000 people. Our ultimate goal:
the Germanization of all the world
From childhood / have been under
the influence of five men, Alexander,
Julius Caesar, Theodore H., Frederick
the Great, Napoleon. Each of these
men dreamed a dream of world en-
pire-they failed. I am dreaming a
dream of German world empire-and
my mailed fist shall succeed"
Besides a map of the Roman empire
on a wall in the kaiser's palace is an
other world map, with Berlin as the
capital, and by 1915 Petrograd, Lon
don and Paris were to be county seats,
subdued provinces of Germany, and
Washington and Ottawa were to fol-
low with the word "Germania stamped

Later came the address of Judge
w. B. Barnum of Phoenix, and they
are still praising the Judge for the
masterpiece edlivered.
I'VE must have the women of this
land with us in this war If we sue
ceed," said Judge Barnum.
He told of the great cost of the war
and gave statistics to show that the
Teuto1s and entente allies had spent
four times as much in this war as the
whole world spent in the 140 years
prior to this war.
"One hundred and sixty million dol
lars must be spent every twenty-four
hours by the United States and allies
to make this war success. Our gov
ernment has asked us to forego some
of the pleasures and loan to them a
small amount, paying the same inter-
est as any savings bank will pay you"
said Judge Barnum.
I'VE will make the Germans realize
that behind our brave boys in the
trenches are united nation"
Judge Barnum told of the different
arguments offered by agitators, chief
among them being the statement that
this is a rich mans war, and then he
gave statistics showing that the pock-
etbooks of the rich would be hit hard

Railroad Connection Urged
Via KIondyke and San Pedro

Predicting the development of q
vast mineral empire in western
Graham and eastern Pinal counties
through the construction of railroad
the Arizona Bulletin of Stafford has
launched a campaign for line from
Pima or Stafford on the Globe division
of the Arizona Eastern through Eagle
Pass and Aravaipa canyon to Winkel
man. The Bulletin says:
"A railroad built into the Aravaipa
or Klondyke mining district would
open up a mineral country as rich, ii
not the richest in the state of Arizona
This fact is evidenced by shipments
of ore being made from there to rail
road shipping point-Cofk, on the A.
& E., and Wilcox, on the 8. p
about forty miles to the former sta
ton and about sixty miles to the lat.
ter. Haulage is made with auto
trucks and teams and is very expen-
sive, enabling the mines to only ship
concentrates and highAgrade ore.
by the first of the year the district
will be shipping about $50 tons of ore
per day. This output would be multi
piled many fold if railroad tapped
the district. In sorting and with what
is left in place, in getting out one ton
of ore for shipment, ten tons are left
behind. This is the condition of the
present operating companies. There
are many other properties in the dis
trict undeveloped for the lack of trans
portation facilities, which will become
producers if cheaper methods of mar
keting are afforded.
Years ago a railroad survey was

nutty in flavor, and while the texture
is little coarse, the bread will keep
moist for a week. A war flour, made
of 25 per cent corn-meal and the rest
wheat, is now on sale.
If all the white bread eaten in this
country contained 25 per cent corn
meal, it would mean a national saving
of at least twenty million pounds of
wheat a week.
At the same time breads made of
whole grains contain more nourish-
ment and have greater food value than
ordinary white bread. Less food will
be needed in the meal where a whole
grain bread is served. This effects a
double economy.
The Arizona copper camp., 1917-11-03

made from Pima through Eagle Pass
and on down through the Aravaipa
canyon to Winkelman, on the Arizona
& Eastern. The construction of a
railroad over this route was found
feasible. no difficult engineering prob
lens being encountered. The route
would cover a distance of about sixty
miles from Pima to Winkelman, and
from the latter point 1t is only about
five miles to- the smelter at Hayden.
"The construction of this proposed
road would bring the mines of the
Aravaipa section within distance of
about thirty-five miles of the Hayden
smelter, the advantages of which min
ing men well understand. The road
constructed from Pima would pass the
Southland property in Eagle Pass. as
well as other very promising property
in that neighborhood.
THAT railroad constructed over
the route outlined above would pay
is potent, as many mining camps
would spring into existence which
would become world-famous
"The construction of this proposed
railroad would form a connecting link
with the A. & E., between Pima and
Winkelman, and would make of the
road trunk line, which is very much
desired by the railroad people and the
territory it would serve. It would
stop the contending friction between
the railroad people and the promoters
of the San Carlos dam and permit the
construction of the dam by the gov
ernment.
"As soon as the Bulletin can secure
sufficient data on the proposed road,
we will have more to say concern
ing it."

FREE EMPLOYMENT
MAKES BIG HIT

The first monthly report of the Ari-
zona Free Employment Bureau, jointly
maintained by the u S. immigration
Buerau and the State of Arizona, is a
most satisfactory vindication of the
necessity of such a clearing house for
Drawn and brain in this state.
In October, 829 males and 16 fe-
males secured jobs through this bu-
reau, and these figures do not include
many men employed from the wait
ing groups in front of the office, for
which the bureau receives no credit.
Recently, while Governor Campbell
was in Prescott, sheep owner re-
quested him to get three sheep herd
ers an dsend them to Mohave county.
Inside of three days the men were on
their way to work The sheepman
had complained that it was impossible
to get herders.
State Manager Charles w. Hartman
states that he has applications from
persons in all lines of human activity
and can, in nearly all cases, furnish
any kind of help desired.
There were SO live opportunities for
employment at the close of business
on October 81. Opportunities untitled
during the month were 336, showing
that the demand in Arizona is greater
than the supply in many occupations
at the present time.

WHALE MEAT NOW

Whale meat has become a popular
delicacy on railroad diners, according
to report made at the recent con-
intendents at Chicago.
How this new food product may be
made particularly palatable is shown
by recipe invented by Otto Schiff-
ner, steward on a Southern Pacific
Ogden route diner. Schiffner gives
the recipe as follows:

1t is conservative estimate to state
that a small amount of self-denial of
the use of the foods that can be best
used to support our soldiers when
practiced by each family, will mean
that it will take not to exceed ten fam
lilies to supply one soldier, and this
without ANY COST to the family so
doing.
Our committee consists of real live
wires, and the members are aware of
the Importance of the work to be ac-
complished. You can readily see that
with the 1000 families that we will
have signed up in Pinal county, that
food has been provided for 200 SOL

No EARLY PEACE

TO SUGGEST PEACE NOW, DE.
CLARES WILSON, Is EVIDENCE
OF MISGUIDED THOUGHT-MUST
BEAT GERMANY FIRST.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 9.-An
extensive movement to lead and ex-
press public opinion on the war was
inaugurated here today by the forma-
ton of the League for National Unity,
representing church, political, labor,
agricultural ,and industrial organiza-
tons, to which President Wilson gave
his endorsement in an address empha-
sizing the need for team play by the
forces of American thought and opin
ion
Welcoming the leaders of the move
ment a tthe white house, in a brief
speech, the president expressed the be-
lief that American public opinion, al
though understanding the wars causes
and principles, needs guidance to re-
member that the far should end only
when Germany is beaten and Germa-
nys rule of autocracy and might are
superseded by the ideal of democ-
racy.
This is the issue which the Ameri
can people should always keep in mind
the president said, in order to avoid
being misled into byways of thought
and of the resultant scattering of the
force of public opinion. Talk of early
peace before Germany is defeated is
one of the evidences of mis-directed
thought, he suggested, and should not
cloud the vision of those who under
stand the United States is fighting now
for the same ideals of democracy and
freedom that have always actuated the
nation.

According to Mr. C. B. Burley, who

ty, the farmers of that county are
being seriously handicapped in gather
ing their cotton on account of an acute
scarcity of labor Many fields are
white with cotton, very little of which
has been picked, and pickers are not
to be had, due to so many negroes
having gone north. Mr.. Burley re-
ports that much of the cotton has
fallen from the bolls, and some Of it
is sprouting on the ground Sumter
raised almost as much cotton this
year as she did before the advent of
the boil weeyil, and with the great
exodus of negro labor, tht farmers
