SUGAR ALLOWED TO WOMEN FUR
 HUME CANNING

The great home canning drive of Arizona is now on. Under the banner of womens war committees, demon stration and study groups are being organized. The food administration through it's home economies and col- lege women's divisions, is giving active cooperation, and a special rule has been issued favoring the housewife in the purchase of sugar for canning pur- poses.
 A sugar certificate plan has been adopted. The householder desiring sugar for canning purposes writes out or fills in certificate of the following | form.
 1S1S I hereby declare to the United States food administration that I desire to purchase from (name of dealer) an amount of ...... pounds of sugar (not to exceed 25 pounds) for use for pre- serving and canning purposes only, and | that l shall return any surplus not used for this purpose.
 Signed ..................... l Address .................
 This certificate is presented to the | grocer. If 25 pounds is not sufficient to meet the needs of the housewife she may apply for an additional 25 pounds when the first allowance is exhausted but she should not purchase more than 25 pounds at time.
 Orders have been issued to all retail dealers to mail all such certificates once a week to the federal food ad- ministrator for Arizona.
 These certificates will be closely scrutinized and filed for further refer ence. It is the intention to issue a questionnaire to all home canners, whose names are thus secured, asking them for a report on the amount and varieties of canned goods put up by them during the season. In this way the food administration expects to ob- tain a complete survey of home can- ming in Arizona and some interesting results are expected, as showing the amount Of fruits and vegetables put up
 by each town, city and county in the state.

IDLE MUST WORK
 NEW ORDER SENT OUT OF CAPITAL

Work is the sentence that has been pronounced on the Arizona idler. It comes direct from Washington and in cludes that class of non producers that infest every state in the union.
 Final instructions were received yes terday by L. B. Whitney, chairman for Maricopa county for the National Com mittee on Prisons and Prison Labor of the War Bureau, along with copies of the penal code of this state containing the sections of the statutes under which these instructions are to be en- forced.
 This bears out my contention" said MT. Whitney yesterday, that no special legislation is necessary to enforce any instructions received from this com mittee of the War Bureau to make the idlers work.
 With the aid of the sheriffs and constables of every county, the police officers of all towns and cities and all other court officials the work of round- ing up the idlers and putting them tG work will begin at once," said MT. Whitney.
 As the national committee points out, the waste that can be salvaged and made useful to the government in | the production of war material is in | the garret and back yard of almost every home, and I suggest that the Boy Scouts can make considerable money | in collecting and se&,ng of what would otherwise be waste, but which can be made of great value to the country" | To utilize waste labor in handling waste material is the plan outlined by | this national committee as stated in the communication received yesterday l by Mir. Whitney. The idler is no longer to be tolerated in this country where every bit of strength and every re- source is being utilized in prosecuting | the war.
 l AS chairman of your county" the l communication says, i've want you clearly to understand the responsibil- ity in the work that is before us all in the salvaging of waste. The wastage of material on the battle front can be made up by the salvage of our waste at home. Your community must save! It must do more. fc must utilize the
 waste materials accumulated in our yNars of prosperity.
 Do you know that nineteen pounds of old bones contain enough glycerine
 for an 1S-pound projectile? Do you know that England makes cartridge
 shells out of waste paper collected in
 her cities? Do yon know that soldiers
 behind the lines in France and in Ger
 many carefully collect every piece of
 metal so that more shells can be made ? And do you realize that the War h. dustries Board is trying to prevent a
 shortage of material next year which l will cripple our men on the firing line
 and make us go hungry at home?
 Perhaps you don't understand what
 this means now, but before we are through with this war you will. So will
 every person in youl community. We
 are in this war to win and we are going through with it if it takes every
 ounce of our strength and every bit oi
 power we can get. Upon you rests the

 The table also gives the crops that mature each month. The folder is il- frustrated with a cut of the exhibit of soil products at the International Soil exposition held last October at Peoria, III.

No Business of a Liquid Nature Transacted at This Counter" read a sign displayed yesterday on the long counter in the lower rotunda of the state house where the office of the state land department has been tenn porarily located until the completion of the special session of the legislature which will convene on Tuesday.
 Possibly the long counter is remi- niscent of days in Arizona before the state went as dry as her deserts. Any way, Ben Clark, chief Clerk of the leas- ing department. declares that so many approached the long counter and in structed him to draw two" that the sign became necessary.

MISS WHITE TO
 TELL IF NEED
 IN NURSE STAFF

Those in authorityE say that those women who can take nursing courses will be doing as much to aid the gov ernment in the war as are the men at the front. Few realize that not less than 12.000 highly trained nurses are required for each million men in ser vice and many more should be on hand if possible. At the start of the war so far as Americas entrance is concerned, there were something like 90,000 trained nurses in the United States. This number was scarcely enough to care for the needs of the civil population and now that war has come thousands more are needed.
 Women who train for nurses may not be able in the short time allowed to become proficient enough to go to the front, but they can do work at home which will relieve regularly trained nurses so they can volunteer for overseas service. It is a glorious chance and many in Arizona are think ing about taking the definite step which will make them so invaluable to the nation in this war.
 Mrs. Lillian White, director of the bureau of nursing of the Pacific di- vision of the Red Cross will arrive in Phoenix this evening and will be- gin her lecture tour of this state Mon 1 day morning when she will address a local audience at the Christian church. Miss White will touch upon the various phases of work that can be accomplished by women through her department. She will emphasize the growing importance of home nursing and care of the sick during war time. | While here she will organize a state association and arrangements will be made for the registration of Red Cross nurses.
 Miss White will be among the in | teresting guests at the Red Cross | luncheon at the Woman's club on | Saturday.
