WAR BREAD COSTLY To
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $2OO,OOO,OOO toward the cost of
that nations war bread. That is, the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than in America. incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to.
the mills by the government at price
that allows the adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for cents.
In milling, however, IA per cent.
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is a CONF
pufsory adulteration OF 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration OF so
per cent.
Compared with American bread; the
British product is only about IS per.
cent. pure at It's best.
IN France, under cOnditiAps some
what similar, but with lr txtrac-
tion. the four pound loaf Sella fon 18
cents.

already paying big dividends in the
lives Of boys who have gone from this
town and county to receive their mil

land other military camps in the south
and west. According to advice reach
ing herewith week, the Y. M. G. A.
Ihuts in the big environments never
have been SO popular as during the
recent cold weather, when thousands
Iof enlisted men were driven inside
the buildings for their amusements,
games and letter-writing. The CHEEKY

pianos, books and magazines, form a
happy combination that spells home"
to the boys away from home.

The last thing American troops will
get before they go over the top will
be a cup of hot coffee or tea, a biscuit

gency rations and a word of cheer and
inspiration from the Y. M. G. A.
Secretaries.

American and German
Efficiency.

The searchlight of war has brought
out many interesting facts, and one
of these is that the vaunted German
efficiency will not always stand the
test Of comparison with American
efficiency.
The Germans boosted of being the
greatest farmers on earth. Inyestiga.
tion shows that in efficiency in agri-
culture, measured by the produce pei
acre, America being graded 100, Belgi-
UNI leads the world, at 205; Great
Britain comes second, at 264; and Ger
many third, at 1856; America comes
fourth.
But the better test is the man test
rather than the acre test, and here
America leads the world by over 2 to
|. Again, grading America at 100 per
farm worker, Great Britain pro duces
- and Germany Al. The American
farmer cultivates q acres, the Ger
man farmer but 7. With the aid Of
vast quantities Of fertilizer the Ger.
man produces more per acre, but he
produces at a much greater cost per
bushel and he produces much less
than half as much per man.

PAY BUT ONE FARE
 n RIDE IN SLEEPER
 OR IN A PAR[OR JAR

Occupants of sleeping or parlor car no longer will be compelled to pur- chase two tickets when engaging transportation, one representing the railroad fare and the other the sleep ing car or parlor car charge. They are to be combined in one ticket.
 This change, which will do away with much delay and annoyance, is an- nounced in the following issued by Di
 rector General of Railroads McAdoo:
 Effective November l, 1918, the sleeping and parlor car rate and ad ditionaI passage charge for occupancy of space in sleeping or parlor cars will be combined; both charges will be represented by the sleeping or parlor car ticket except in cases ot furlough | fare, clergy and similar tickets. where the two charges must be kept sep arate When fares are paid on trains the sleeping or parlor car conductors will make the collections of both 1 charges, and issue one ticket to cover.
 This plan will do away with the de- | lays and confusions now incident to 1 the sale of three separate tickets, and 1 the collection of three separate charges 1 for a railroad journey in a sleeping or i parlor car. As rapidly as the neceS- | sary alterations in ticket offices can be made, the sleeping car and railroad
 ticket selling forces will be combined and it will no longer be necessary for a passenger to go back and forth be- tween two different ticket windows at | union stations in order to get his sleep | ing car and railroad tickets, and ar 1 range for his accommodations, because | both kinds of transportation will here
 after be sold by the same ticket clerk.
 This will be a step beyond the old
 practices prior to government control.
 When the Pullman car lines were un-
 der private management they had their own force of ticket sellers, and a pas
 senger. after buying a railroad ticket,
 had to go to the Pullman window to
 get a sleeping car ticket, or vice versa.
 It is thought that this arrangement
 will tend to keep down the congestion
 at ticket offices in union stations.

 Any citizen may institute action if the authorities do not He must prosecute it with diligence and if he does not another person may be substituted him as plaintiff Such cases will have preferred places on the calendar taking precedence over all other tions than criminal proceeding. election contests and hearings on applications for injunctions.
 Such law will not only prevent the leasing of property for purposes ewdness but it will excite careless and landlords and agents, to at least, mild curiosity concerning the character of applicants for tenancy.
 This act will be BOA on the official ballot.
 The gaming act will be 3O2.
 We have had for some years, anti gambling acts both in the and nearly all of the towns but about the only noticeable effect has been abolition of open gambling City officials have said in excuse of their nertness in running down cases of gambling, that they could not prevent crime which the state per mits and the state law has been indefinite to many forms of gambling and gambling devices that gambling is carried in almost every town in the state
 This law enumerates all the games that have ever been played and blankets "any similar game what ever played with cards" Likewise 1t includes with enumerated devices Tor any machine of like charac- ter" The law directed against operators of games and owners lessees of property where such games are carried on The conviction of either operator or property owner or agent will be followed by fine of from slO0 to $500 or imprisonment for not than six months or both fine and imprisonment.

Proposed Land Law Amendments

There three measures which have so far been given little general discussion. to be submitted to the people Tuesday, They propose amendments regarding sale and leasing of the state lands. Two them, 1O4 and 1O6, constitutional amendments The third is amendment of the state land code proposing to give effect to 1O4 and 106.
 The constitution limits the sale lease of state lands to 16O acres of agricultural land and GAO acres of grazing land. Amendment 1O6 removes the restric tion to as leasing only. The restriction to sale remains
 Six hundred and forty of grazing land is plainly too small an area for a small stocl1man and this restriction has avoided eeaded by the leasing of additional through other persons.
 No formal argument has been offered against this proposed amendment but the objection has been heard that it would facilitate monopozaton of the state lands. We do not think it would do so to a greater extent than has been done by ndirection. There be monopozaton under proper administration of the land and have reasons to assume that the law as proposed to be amended will be properly administered the law has been in the past.
 The land commissioner is necessarily vested with discretionary power. may believe that he has properly and believe that under this amend ment he can exercise it more intelligently when he knows in whose what interest application is made for leasing. It is possible for a monopoly be acquired without the knowledge of the commissioner the has passed into the control of the lessee
 Stoc1men who require larger areas of land than $40 acres have often resorted to the only at their command to obtain more and doubt many would have increased their areas if they could have done simply by making application for it. The amendment would therefore encourage the utilization of the states grazing lands the greater part of which have lain idle have been used without profit the state. The proper encouragement of leasing would in the of the state and would be bene- fial to all it's citizens.
 Sight may also be lost of the fact that though the small stockman would be benefited by this amend ment in lesser degree in each instance, he would be benefited in greater number of instances.
 Amendment 1O4 is intended only to afford bona fide residents and lessees of the state lands greater protection than they enjoy. It the present constitutional restriction of the term land leases to five years and authorizes the better safe guarding to the lessee of his interest in his improve ments, in the of the subsequent leasing of the land to other persons.
 Both constitutional amendments and the amend ment to the code have the approval of stockmen Ob- jections to them be only fanciful, based fear of what the objectors think might happen under dis honest unwise administration of the law. Such an objection may be raised against almost any law that might be proposed.

"CAPTA|N'' TERRASAS
 NOW HAS AN EMPIRE
 DREAM ON TIE COAST

Senor J. Fernandez Terrasas, who visited Phoenix last summer as the nephew of one of the greatest landlords of Mexico, awning vast estates in Chi huahua and Yucatan, and who after running several bills of credit in Phoe- nix left the city with Grace Landis, who has a long police record here, and was arrested in Tucson. has turned up again in Los Angeles, with land grants from two kings" to quote the Los Angeles Times
 The Times says that Terrasas is at work developing the project" The "project' concerns some 5000 acres of land in Sonora and Fl PasO.
 Terrasas's land schemes, as reported by the Times, are somewhat similar to those he endeavored to promote in Phoenix. He goes to Los Angeles as Captain" Terrasas, late of the DiaZ federal army. That was also his title when he came to Phoenix. The cap | tain' made a great impression in Phoe- nix for about two weeks, when he was 1 taken in tow by Grace Landis, who seven days before had paid a S200 po- l lice fine on the rather indefinite charge | of vagrancy. Grace needed money, the story goes, and decided to capture ! the captain" and did.
 They dined at the best cafes and he maintained a suite in one of the best hotels in Phoenix. Then they decided to take a trip and their tickets read to 1 Fl Paso. But just after they left Phoenix a warrant was issued for the arrest of Terrasas on a charge of pass | ing bad checks. The department ot | justice also wanted him for investiga- tion.
 Both he and Grace Landis were taken from the train at Tucson and placed ir jail, where Grace Landis still remains the police said last night. Both were lost sight of by Phoenix police.
 Now comes the announcement in the Los Angeles newspaper of the arriva there of a Mexican on Business Nisi Who Holds Land Grant by two Spanish Kings" Here is what the Times says:
 "Senor J. Fernandez Terrasas, { captain in the Mexican federal arm! under Porfirio Diaz, a nephew of thu late Miguel Fernandez, the largest lanC owner in the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico whose holdings comprised more thar Is, 1000, 900 acres, arrived in this cit, yesterday. He brings with him tn grant by two Spanish kings, Charle " and Fernando VII to 5000 acres o land, mostly in Sonora, but part in tn city of Fl Paso. He is at work devel oping the project.
 "The deed, which is 106 years old, directly from the Spanish throne. It i hand written an parchment and con tans a map of the territory. The Ian in Fl Paso, says Captain Terrasas. com prises some twelve city blocks in tn heart of the industrial section. Tw expert New York appraisers are at wor on the proposition, and Captain Ter rasas is anxious to confer with an Californian holding original grants C | titles"

Application was made yesterday to the state council of defense for per mission to build a $100,000 schoolhouse at Ajo. Representing that city, [. F. Nash and F. A. Nathan submitted their arguments to the council.
 It was stated that it appeared i'm possible for the industries of the Ajo district to secure the services of com petent men, owing to the lack of suf- ficient school facilities. In other words, the council was told that the lack of such school buildings was a serious setback to the city.
 The state council sent the applica- ton to Washington by telegraph with it's unqualified endorsement. Ajo will be advised of the decision as soon as the reply reaches this city.
