SOLDIERS TO CHEW GUM
TO SLAKE THEIR THIRST
Army Wants $500, 900 Packages to
Economic Water and to Substi-
tute Where Not Obtainable,

Orders have just been placed by the
Quartermaster Corps of the Army for
100000 packages Of chewing gum
for the Army. It has been found that
on long marches and where the troops
are unable to get sufficient water
chewing gum is effective in relieving
thirst.
Recently the commanding officer Of
a regiment Of field artillery when en-
barking for overseas service stated
that $50 pounds of chewing gum
would save hundreds of gallons
Of water when most needed. He
pointed out that chewing gum is
cheap, and that there are times when
water is expensive and at times I'M
obtainable.
Under pressure Of the mobile and
trench warfare overseas calls for
hard bread have been largely in
creased. The subsistence division Of
the Quartermaster Corps has request
ed all depot quartermasters through
out the country to stimulate in their
territories the production of hard
bread and the tin containers used in
their packing.
At the present time 100000 cartons
Of hard bread packed in wax paper
and 100000 packed in tins are pro-
duced daily. 1t is expected that early
in September the capacity will have
reached 100000 wax paper cartons
and 100000 tins Of hard bread daily.

CHANDLER ELECTION
 FUR SCHOOL |S OFF

CHANDLER, Ariz., March 17.-Fol- lowing the decision to call an sSO. 1000 school bond election for this district, came the news that the election is off, owing to the fact that the dis trlct can only bond itself for four per cent of it's assessed valuation. This would place the amount that the district can ask for at s60. 900. which would be inadequate for it's building plans. The district can only bond for $123,000, and it already has outstanding bonds of ,s41,000 The trustees have decided to try and get along with temporary structures. An other motive for calling off the cleo ton Is due to a patriotic sentiment and tight bond market. as the supervisors could call an election if the trustees so desired.
