HOSPITAL SHIP SINKING
 UNSPEAKABLE OUTRAGE

LONDON, July ?, CVia Ottawa )- Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the eXchequer, speaking in the house of commons today said that one would have thought nothing new as regards German brutality could have hap pened but the sinking of the Canadian hospital ship Llandovery Castle was an unspeakable outrage. Nothing could be gained. he added, by talking about this last example of frightfulness.
 ''The wild beast is at large,' said Mir. BOnar Law. There is no use argu- ing or reasoning about it. The only thing to do is to destroy it. That is the duty, and it is up to all the allies to set their teeth until that end is achieved"

 FLAGSTAFF, July Mrs. Frank Creasey. Box 240. Bisbee, has been awarded the prize of $25 for the best near-wheatiess recipe for yeast bread. The prize was offered some time ago by the state conservation chairman of the federal food administration for Ari- zona for the purpose of stimulating in. terest in working out the housewife's problem of the proper use of substi- tutes
 Many excellent recipes were discov- cred by the judges among the nun dreds submitted and the time required to thoroughly test them is responsible for delay in the making of the award.
 Are JuGJed and Graded
 The recipes were first judged and graded by a committee composed of Mrs. Jessamine C. Williams, Miss Edith Coffman and Mrs. Mary Pritner Lockwood, the latter being the Arizona home economies director of the food administration. All are members of the faculty of the University of Ari- zona at Tucscn. This committee elim- inated all recipes not strictly comply ing with the rules of the contest. Most Of these required the use of too large quantities of wheat four
 Then came the baking test. Follow ing the directions given in the remlin- ing recipes, dough was prepared and loaves baked by Miss Hazel Zimmer- man, home demonstration agent of the agricultural extension service of the University O. Arizona, These tests were carried out in the home econ Omics laboratories of the university.
 The baked products were then judged and graded by a committee composed of Mrs H. A. Hubbard, Tue son; E. p. Taylor, director of the agricultural extension service and Mrs. Lockwood
 The six highest scores were as given above
 Most of the recipes which were tried cut made good palatable bread. There were a few laughable exceptions. how ever. "One of them behaved more like a soda fountain drink than bread" say the judges, "and two more presented such 2 pale and marble-like appear alce that We contemplate having a suitable epitaph engraved thereon"
 As anNaid to the Arizona housewife the food administration plans to have a number of the best recipes printed in leafiet form for general distribu- ticn. Application for these should be made to the educational division, fed eTal food administration for Arizona, Flagstaff.

LIFE WITH e I
Z HIS GIRL COUSIN
LANDS MAN IN JAIL
GAVE STORY OF MARITAL WOES
WITH UNFAITHFUL WIFE AND
CLAIMED GIRL A DAUGHTER

Ed. Dempke, giving his age as 35.
was sentenced late last week in a
Kent county court to from 8 to Is
years in jackson prison and his copr
sin, Myrtle. Dempkey, aged ID years,
who had been living with him for sew
eral years, was sent to the state in
stitution for girls Of her kind, at
Adrian The action of the court was
the result of an investigation carried
on by Kent county officials in which
it was ascertained that the pair were
living together illegally and that the
girl was in reality cousin of the
man who claimed her as his daughter.
The girl acquiesied in sthis conten-
ton with her cousin and passed out
the deceptive information as freely as
did the man until they were confront
cd with the real facts concerning
them.
Dempkey and the girl came from
up near Traverse City a little more
than two years ago and claiming that
the mans unfaithful wife had desert
ed the husband and daughter, ELECTED
pity and sympathy from local people
with whom they come in contact and
they spent short time in this city.
Later on they arrived at the farm home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Leo Shindorf, south
of town and under the pretense that
they were seriously wronged father
and daughter, rented rooms in the
spacious farm house and lived there
for some time. Dempkey frequently
told the Shindorf family of how he
had been wronged and tne girl always
bore him out in whatever he said in
regard to his married life.
On several occasions however, when
Mr.. and Mrs. Shindorf or other Of the
neighbors entered the rooms occupied
by the pair, they acted as if they had
been caught in a trap and finally,
when Mrs. Shindorf. suspecting that
something must be wrong with the
two, told Dempkey that his presence
and that of the girl was obnoxious
and that they had better leave, Demp-
key scented rather strong suspicion
directed toward him in the neighbor-
hood and quietly passed on to a place
over in Grattan township.
1t was while living there that the
matter was called to the attention of
the authorities in Kent county and an
investigation started which had as its
outcome the landing of Dempkey in
Jackson prison for an indefinite per-
iod and the placing Of the girl in the
state institution for girls at Adrian,
for least several years to come.
The investigation revealed the fact
that the parents of the girl were both
dead and that she had been brought
away from her former home by her
cousin and that she had resided with
him since.
While residing in this section, it is
stated by people who knew the pair,
that Dempkey provided fairly well
for his companion.

the same cause-namely through the
Ignorance Of natural lawS, or by the

It is fact that in nature there ID
never anything lost but will always

may be that il my theory Is true, that
mans ignorance has caused this flu
plague, that he has achieved one Of
the greatest means to perpetuate life
and make. this earth paradise to
live in--No. doubt the flu has been a
great cause of death, and is yet if my
theory be true. There is no doubt
but that in time Natures workshop,
through chemical changes, by cleo
tricity, by precipitation, absorption,
filtration, heat, cold, compression dis
tillation, chemical affinity, etc. will
again purify the air and all parasites,
microbes, bacteria and insect pests
not having lungs to breath with will
all be destroyed by the poison gases
and man will come into his rightful
inheritance and the age of man shall
become as the age of a tree-"he
shall sit beneath his own vine and

This would be a sad plight for the

banished and the doctors would have

rather queer; couldn't have been the
hand of Providence that interfered to
deprive them of their grip, could it?

CONSERVATION OF LABOR

In years past we In America have
been prodigal In all things. We have
been careless with our natural re-
sources, we have drawn relentlessly
on the fertility of our soils, and we
have frequently shown poor judgment
In the utilization of the one item which
Is more costly In America than any
where else in the world-the item of
labor. Being Americans we did what
We pleased and when we pleased, re-
CARELESS.
For a concrete example let us con-
slider the annual distribution of labor
In the fertilizer factories of the coun-
try. In March and April twice as
many men were employed as In the
months of November and December
Why? Simply because the vast ma
jority of orders were filed In March
and shipments were nearly all de-
manded in March or April.
The same unequal distribution of la
Dor prevailed among the farmers to
whom the fertilizer industry sold its
goods. During November and Deem
Der farmers and their labor had as lit
tie to do as at any time of the year,
and In March and April they were as
busy as bees. Taking a day or two
from blowing or sowing In order to
haul fertilizer was as painful as pull
Ing teeth. Yet that was exactly when
the hauling was done.
Why was not the fertilizer ordered
In November and hauled home In De-
cember or January? The manufacturer
would have welcomed the orders and
he could and would have given them
better attention; roads were usually
better for hauling In winter than In
early spring, and there would have
been none Of this delay at the all-im-
portant time Of seeding.
1t would have been so easy to have
gained this better distribution Of la
Dor and saved 80 much for both par
ties. But II took big war and q ter
nflc shortage of labor to make us real
lxe that early orders and early ship
ments were much more satisfactory.

POTATOES CRY FOR POTASH

Phoma stem blight is the name of
the new disease which has created so
much trouble in the big potato-grow-
ing sections during the past summer.
Growers have become greatly alarmed
and have appealed to Washington for
aid.
The specialists, however, do not
think the disease will be serious, nor
do they think that 1t will be hard to
control. 1t seems that 1t appears only
under exceptional conditions Of wealth
er and malnutrition.
The department officials are inclined
to lay the major portion of the blame
on unbalanced fertilizer-that Is,
using fertilizer lacking potash. They
claim that this disease will disappear
on remedying the condition Of malnu
triton and recommend that next year
a fertilizer containing as high as 9
per cent potash be applied. Fortu-
nately American sources Of supply can
now furnish this food In SUFFICIENT
quantities. .
