CHEER
 ID ONE SOLDIER

Showing the regard in which Sammy" packer is held by a lonely soldier, the letter of G. O. Jacoby, late of Chandler, will no doubt be an in- spiration for others to adopt a soldier boy.
 In his letter to The Republican the lad refers with loving appreciation to the kindness of Mrs. J. D. Henderson who has added more than a bit of brightness to the life of the army man.
 From Camp Pike the following was received yesterday:
 "To the editor of the Arizona Repub- lican:
 Dear Sir:
 q want to say you did not half tell what loyal mother I have found in Mrs. J. D. Henderson. She is not only a Sammy packer, but is also a fine knitter. Although we have never met, she is as loyal to her soldier boy as any American mother is to her own son. With the aid of Mrs. Laura Wheater she has supplied me with warm socks, sweater, comfort kit, wristlet, a watch, not mentioning the cakes and tobacco they have sent me. The only fault can find with them is that they do not write often enough. but when they do, their letters are full of love and encouragement, and never line comes but that they ask if there is anything 1 want or if there is not something they can do for me.
 ITO those who ask for my address just say that I still drive team for Uncle Sam and that I am still on American soil. I am in good health except that I sometimes have a spell of homesickness and blues, and I will be glad to get back on a farm again.
 My address is 334th F. A. N. Sup ply 60, S7 Division, Camp Pike, Ark. I am still for sunny Arizona where it never rains and seldom pours, where the green alfalfa grows and the rich milk flows forevermore.
 Yours truly,
 'J. o. JACOBY."

PESTS DRAWBACKS
 TO NATURES GIFTS

Seattle 1ntelligencer)
 Nature, with all her lavish generos- ity to man, seems to have coppered al- most all her gifts. Lands flowing with milk and honey are generally well SUD- piled with pests to accompany them. No tourist ever read anything in Cal ifornia boost literature about fleas. yet they are there; Puget Sound has the grandest climate in the world, but look what string of damp winter days are fastened to it; Alaska's great natural wealth too often guarded by the fero- cious, man. eating mosquito; wherever nature plants a treasure she places also a pest to guard it.
 Down in Matagorda county, Texas, is some of the finest rice land in the world, heretofore practically pestless. and now comes word that an unknown worm or bug, with a thousand legs and hair on every one of them, has ap- peared without notice and cleaned up 10000 acres of rice. Under the circum- stances the agricultural department feels highly embarrassed, and has re- quested sharps who discover new bugs to report them at once to the depart ment for classification in the rogue's gallery.
 For many years I have been driven ITOll pllidr to pOsl III ny 0oTtlCulluTdl and garden experiments by pests. Any time I find I have produced something worth while, turn it over and discov- CT worm or bug on the other side. My crop of one and one-half bushels of potatoes I now find to be drilled through by some pernicious worms. Once had tree full of apples, but the worms saw it first My lettuce is an- noyed by the colander bug, and my roses bear the green aphis profusely. With great courage and presence of mind I stop producing anything that the bugs beat me to.
 Thus, for next year I have scheduled a fine lot of raspberry bushes and a strawberry patch. So far as I am in- formed nothing feazes either of these. Personally ]. would much rather con- fine my exertions to something the bugs do not want, than send a sample of perfectly strange bug to the agri- cultural department and receive by re- turn mail assurances of it's deep sur prise, the bugs meanwhile taking my | crop.

UNDERWRITERS ABOUT WAY TO
 PREVENT FIRE

Information considered of vital i'm portance to cotton people, especially in relation to gins, warehouses, pump stations and other buildings, has just been received by Chief A. F. Wright of the Phoenix fire department This information, presented in the form Of practical suggestions for safeguarding cotton from fire risks, comes to the chief with the approval of the Ma tional Board of Fire Underwriters.
 Some of the suggestions given are:
 Keep the premises clean, both in doors and out; do not allow accumu- lation of lint and loose cotton. Pro- hibit smoking in every part of the premises. Do not allow loafers or ir- responsible persons on any part of the premises.
 See that all cotton delivered to your care, and kept under your su- pervision, is accurately accounted for and properly safeguarded against fire.
 Provide a sufficient number Of carefully selected Watchmen to insure complete patrol of all parts of the premises.
 Keep all fire doors tightly closed when the plant is not in operation or not in use.
 Never gin cotton when it is wet. To do this produces a serious fire hazard, because the wet cotton clogs the gin and causes fire by friction.
 After the cotton is ginned and baled it should not be stored in the open, where it will be subjected to damage from the weather, or to sparks from locomotives, boiler stacks, chimneys and flues; it should be removed by the owner and stored in a warehouse or under shelter.
 "No open lights or fires may be permitted in the ginnery. The boilers should be shut off or separated from the ginnery by a blank brick wall All lighting must be by means of incandescent electric lamps, for whic.l the wiring and equipment must con- form to the established national cleo tric code.
 Tt is important to make sure of the loyalty of all employees. This precaution is particularly applicable to watchmen, who should be able bodied, intelligent and brave men,
 The list of suggestions in the pos session of Chief Wright is complete and comprises several thousand words. These suggestions are classi fled under the following heads: Gen. eral rules, cotton gins. congresses, i sheds and terminals, warehouses.

-----O--- THE OLD BARLOW KNIFE
Columbus Dispatch)

Remember the Barlow knife? It was a work of art. Two brown bone handles and one strong blade-and it cost a quarter. Later they put another blade into the Barlow, but it didn't improve it any; in fact, it was never so good, for the small blade was put in at the expense of the larger one. The back spring of the Barlow was strong, and you frequently turned thumb nail backward in opening it, but we didn't pay much attention to thumb nails in the days of the long ago.

MORRISTOWN IS FIRST ID PASS
 TOP IN THR|F I

Morristown is a wonder, says County Chairman J. C. Dobbins of the Thrift stamps. "Morristown has gone over the top and is perhaps the first precinct in the United States to do so. Morristown has a complete thrift committee with a population of SS persons"
 This committee comprises:
 II. N. Cox, postmaster and chairman.
 II. N. Cox. hotel man and secretary.
 II. N. Cox, merchant and general manager.
 II. N. Cox, notary public and mem Der at large
 From the looks of things, MT. Cox is the whole thing. But he isn't. Morris towns population is composed almost wholly of prospectors. Their total all lotment for the year in Thrift stamps was $660. Their sales reported by the Morristown committee after an execu- tive session with all members present. totaled A1S, or SIS over the precincts allotment.
 This" said Mir. Dobbins, lis the first precinct in Maricopa county. and I be- lieve the first in the State of Arizona. that has gone over the top and I hope that it is the first precinct in the United States that has sold to date, more than their entire allotment for the calendar year.
 What is your community doing in this work?
 Today. the greatest battle that the world has ever known is taking place; the fate of the allied armies is still un- determined.
 T would be glad to hear what action you have taken in regard to organizing War Savings societies in your com munity as suggested in my previous letter to you. We are losing valuable time and must organize so as to sup port our boys and their allies at the front"

FRENCH SOLDIERS
 HAVE LESS BREAD;
 AMERICA WILL ACT
Republican A. ?. Leased Wirel

WASH EVICTION, Marsh 2s.--Infor nation that the bread ration of the French soldiers who are facing the onslaught of Germanys armies has been cut because of the shortage of wheat has led the food administration to plan drastic measures to curb hoarding in this country.
 Wherever there is evidence to sup port a suspicion that the withholding of food on which may depend the out come of the war is due to disloyalty or profiteering, it was said tonight prompt action will be taken.
 State administrators have been re- minded that the food law authorizes the requisitioning of grain in the na- tional emergency and have been asked to be diligent in their investigation of cases of alleged hoarding. They will forward the evidence obtained to Washington, where steps will be taken as the individual cases warrant. Must Have More Wheat Wheat for the allies becomes more 1 imperative as the season progresses, because of the danger of loss in ship ping corn or potatoes after April 1, when the period of germination sets in. Up to March 15, the United States was S0O,0O0 tons behind in its program of cereal export. Much of the program was to have been corn, but the break down in railroad transportation de- layed shipment so that wheat, which earlier in the year had been given priority, had to be sent abroad to avert famine.
 As only wheat and barley can be shipped after April l, the public is be- ing asked to cut it's consumption of wheat to fifty per cent of normaA and even that sacrifice barely will stretch suplies to meet demand, unless every | bushel held on farms and in ware houses is put on the market
 Farmers HoIdinu Wheat | The March l report of the depart ment of agriculture showed 111,000,000 | bushels of wheat on farms and 69,000,- 900 bushels in elevators. Since the aei- tation in congress to increase the price of wheat to s2.50, receipts at mills have dwindled from S,O0O,O0O bushels to B. 0O0,00 bushels a week.
 1 The only requisitioning ordered so far has been in the case of two brothers of German ancestry, living in New Mexico, who refused all offers for wheat which they had raised and had bought. No distinction was made by the administration between the grain raised by the two men and that pur- chased and stored by them.
