"UNCLE SAM" IDEAL FIGURE
Old Gentleman Happy Blending OF the
Cardinal Virtues Typical Of the
American.

My father used tO tell me that his
srcat-uncle, Major Samuel Wilson, was
QuartermaSter in WaShington'S army,
and that when the supplies came in
marked u. s. the boys in the army
used to say. More food. for Uncle
sam. When the war was over the
arny took this saying to every part
of the land, and Uncle Sam soon dis
placed Brother Jonathan as the fa-
vorite nickname for our country.
'In picture and phrase Uncle Sam
is STILL for good or i'll. our national
figure. He incarnatcS the American
character. What con you see in him?
80 me he means II happy blending
of four cardinal virtues which are
typical of the American-shrewdne
and energy. kindness and humor. II
Uncle Sam were only shreWd and ener-
getic he might be a very stingy old
specimen. not at all TO be admired.
Sometimes our good friends across the
water have only seen this side of him.
If Uncle Sam were only kind and
humorous, he might be Il Shiftless

us all, energy and ShrcwdneSs give him
power without waste. while kindness
and humOr make him human and

NO WASTE IN ARMY CAMPS
Conservation and Reclamation Oivi-
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
of All Materials.

One of the most insidious pieces of
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears in the
form of rumors concerning excessive
wastes of all foodStuffs and supplies
i'm our army camps and environments.
4 glance at the work of the conserva-
ton and reclamation division of the
army readily establishes the falsity
of these reports.
The aim Of the conservation ana
reclamation division is to obtain the
maximum utilization of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste OF
these materials 10 n minimum, To de-
Stroy nothing, and to dispose of all ma
terial useless to the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers appetites but the highest care
is exerted to prevent the SoldierTrOm
taking more on his plate than he Wants
in other words, much Of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessnesS is now saved. The reclama.
ton officer and his assistants in every
camp and every cantOnment are re-
sponsble for the separating and the
classifying of kitchen waste, produced
in the preparation and serving Of every
meal at the mess the object of this
careful separation and classification
of kitchen waste IS TO prevent vast
age.
The division also has active charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp and cantCnment. The rod
uce raised is used in rationing troops
and providing animals with forage.
No men fit for active duty are re-
ouired TO assist In this agricultural
service. The quartermaster general
of the army has much more efficient
plan, for he has this work done by in.
termed aliens. enemy prisoners, con
scientiouS cbjectOrs and military pris-
oncrs. OF our own enlisted men only
those physically unsuited for service
overseas or partially disabled are as
! signed to this agricultural work. II is
believed that after few months OF
outdoor work, many Of the men now
unfit will so improve physically that
! they will become fit for transfer to
! fighting units. Thus the ARM will
reclaim men as well rs materials and
| supplies.
! The boys at the front and at camps
| .ad cantonments in this country also
are setting standard in conservation
and reclamation which Is magnificent
They are doing their utmost 10 zee
that every penny Invested in the cause
Of democracy. through Liberty Bond'

The name of Judge A. C.. Baker will be submitted to the democra tic voters for nomina. ton to the office of Judge of the Supreme Court, at the primary election, September 10, 1918.
 President Cleveland appointed Judge Baker Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in 1893. Dur ing the time he held this high office, he wrote many opinions of prime importance in the judi cial history of the state. These opinions clearly express the rule of law governing each particular case, and are simply and briefly stated without OStentatiOn or useless excursions into literary fields, and are singularly free from al appearances of political bias.

He was @ member of the Con- stitutional Convention, and Serv- ed with distinction in that body. Among other important meas ures introduced and advocated by him was resolution No. 4, providing for the initiative and referendum, and although the committee changed this resolu- tion somewhat in Dhraseology, and in some particulars added thereto, yet it served as a basis for the resolution afterwards in troduced by the committee pro- viding for the initiative and re- ferendum, as it now stands in the Constitution.
 Judge Baker has filled many other places of public trust with fidelity and ability. He was a member of the 11th Legislative Assembly. He served as Assist ant U. S. District Attorney for one term, and District Attorney of Maricopa county for three terms. He has been president of the State Bar Association, and at the present time is a member of the State Board of Law Examiners, which conducts the examination of applicants for admission to the bar.
 As lawyer, his standing is exceedingly high. His learning in the law, coupled with a rigid his opinions, his freedom from any kind of prejudice, social or political, his unf1agging indus try. and his frankness and fear, lessness in the discharge of a public duty, eminently qualities him for the high position of judge of the Supreme Court.
 He has appeared as counsel, for one side or the other, in a large number of the most inn portant cases tried in the state for nearly forty years. When the liquor interests, backed by an array of the best legal talent in the state, attacked the pro- hibition amendment as unconsti- tutional and sought to enjoin it's enforcement, Judge Baker, as sociated with the attorney gen eral, appeared before the Fed eral Court in California in de- fense of the law. The court refused to enjoin the inforce- ment of the amendment, and it remained intact and unimpaired until the opinion of the Supreme Court of the state was handed down. permitting the introduc- tiOn of liquor into the state for personal use.
 Judge Baker is a firm demo- crat. However. he has never suffered his political views to affect him in the discharge of a public duty. The Judge has been greatly interested in work for the Red Cross and urging the purchase of Liberty Bonds. His addresses in behalf of these causes have been issued with a spirit of fervid patriotism, and have been extremely helpful. His two sons, Alexander and Robert, are in the United States serving their country, of which fact he is justly proud.
