CELEBRATIONS
FOR FOURTH
OF JULY
ONE AT NOGALES, THE
OTHER AT PATAGONIA
Chamber of Commerce Appoints
Committees to Have Charge
of Arrangements.

Nogales will celebrate Fourth
of July in the forenoon, and in
the afternoon will send a big
delegation out to Patagonia to
assist that lively little neighbor
in observing the national holi-
day.
Not only that. but Nogales
will contribute material assist
ance to the Patagonia celebra-
ton, and will send out the 35th
Infantry band, if it can be Sc
cured.
This was decided at the Cham
ber of Commerce meeting last
night, and two committees were
appointed-one to manage No
gales share in the Patagonia
celebration, the other to have
charge of the festivities at
home.
The Nogales celebration will
include a parade, in which, as
usual, the Nogales fire depart
ment, in full holiday attire, will
be one of the central features.
In addition, Colonel Frier will be
asked to cooperate so far as he
can with the regular troops and
the famous band of the 35th In
fantry. The city will be dec
GRATED, and citizens are hereby
requested to watch the papers
for the plans of the committee
to put the town in holiday attire
for this occasion.
1t was the sentiment of the
Chamber of Commerce to hold
down to the lowest reasonable
limit the expenditures for the
celebration, because of unusual
demands for war work. But the
day will be properly observed,
nevertheless.
Patagonia's celebration will
take the form of a Red Gross
benefit barbecue, and Nogales
will ask that the barbecue start
at l o'clock, and the delegation
from here will plan to reach
there by that hour.
Further plans for both cele.
brations will be published as
they are developed.

TO
QUIT WHEAT ON
MAY rs
ACTION is VOLUNTARY;
ALMOST ALL COMPLY
Those That Do Not Will Be Ra-
toned by the Conservation
Authorities.

After May 25, practically all
the restaurants of Nogales will
cease using wheat or wheat
products in any form for a Pc
riod of ninety days.
This is in accordance with a
request sent out by the food
conservation authorities, who
have asked pledges from the
restaurant men, and nearly all
have complied with rle request.
The request was made in ac-
cordance with the national pro-
gram of the food conservation
board, and aims to provide wheat
for shipment. Until the new
crop comes in, wheat will be con-
served in every possible way.
The restaurants that give this
pledge will use substitutes for
wheat, not only for bread, but
also for pastry, griddle cakes
and every other use to which
wheat was formerly devoted.
Restaurants that do not give
the pledge will be compelled to
supply the food conservation
board with figures showing the
average number of people being
fed, and on these figures an esti-
mate will be made of the amount
of wheat or wheat products to
be. allowed such Q establishment,
and that amount will be issued
to it-but no more than that
amount.

GOVERNOR OF SONORA
TO AID IN PROMOTION
OF BETTER RELATIONS
Civil Head Of Great State Tells Chamber
Of Commerce Representative He Will
Confer With Members of that Body to
Assist inFrendIy Understanding

When Governor Soriano of
Sonora visits Nogales, Son.,
which he expects to do in the
near, future, he will meet with
representatives of the Nogales,
Ariz., Chamber of Commerce to
confer regarding means to pro-
mote better personal and busi-
ness relations between the peo-
pie of Sonora and Arizona.
This was the significant
statement made by Chairman
Joaquin Legarra of the special
committee to promote better re-
lations, in making a partial re-
port to the Chamber of COM
merce last evening.
Mr.. Legarra explained that
his committee had communicar-
ed with Governor Soriano, ex-
planning the movement of the
Nogales trade body to better the
relations between the two peo-
pies, and incidentally informing
him of the project to start a pro-
German newspaper in Nogales,
Sonora.
Governor Soriano replied stat
ing that he had written to those
who were planning the pro-Ger-
man publication, instructing
them ON no account to proceed
with their plan. In this connec-
ton, it is proper to say that t
paper has not appeared.

u. S. GUNS DO GOOD WORK
American Batteries Make Hot
Time for Germans on the
French Front.

WITH THE AMERICAN
ARMY IN FRANCE, May 16.-
American batteries on the
French front in Picardy set fire
to several buildings in Montdid-
ier, the southern pivot of the
German Picardy wedge.
Southeast of Arniens, the bat
teries kept up their "strafing'
of the enemy's communications
very effectively. There was in
termittent German machine gun
fire from Cantigny. An Ameri-
can patrol encountered and
drove off an enemy patrol.
There was much activity on
the part of the artillery and
aviators, but the infantry was
quiet. The French brought down
two German fliers yesterday in
air fighting over our front.
A flock of German planes
passed the French-American
lines last night and drew a lively
fire from the batteries front and
rear. Presumably it was the
German squadron that raided
Paris.

! The governor then went on to
say that he hoped to be in No
gales I'M the near future, and
that he would be pleased to meet
with representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce and con-
fer with them as to the plans for
promoting better trade relations
and friendlier feelings.
"I realize" he is reported by
Mr.. Legarra to have said, in
substance, "the Importance Of
this subject. We need you and
you need us, and / will be glad
to cooperate in any way that
properly can toward the end Of
better relations.
The interest of the Chamber
of Commerce in this subject was
again reiterated last evening,
and further steps were taken to
secure the cooperation of the
federal government in establish
ing comprehensive plans for an
ti-German propaganda among
the people of the states on the
Mexican west coast.
Evidence was placed before
the chamber of the existence Of
exceedingly active pro-German
agents in that section of Mexico,
especially in Sinaloa, and the
members expressed their appre-
ciation of the necessity for work
to counteract the work of these
agents.

New Organization Plans to Ask

Body on This Side.

The Chamber of Commerce of
Nogales, Son., last evening held
it's first meeting in the quarters
recently engaged, on Gale Inter-
nacional, where Alvaro Obregon
y Cia formerly had> it's offices.
The session, which was largely
attended by the membership of
the body, was very interesting.
The proceedings were conduct
ed by Vice President Benz. Tras-
vina. A committee on bylaws
appointed at preceding meet
ing reported a set Of bylaws,
which was adopted in due form.
A letter was read from Mr.. J.
B. Bristol, secretary of the

the new organization in having
assumed form and existence and
entered a great and growing
field of usefulness; and an ap-

prepared and forwarded, which
answer is to voice the desire of
the new chamber to meet NOR
than half way the old establish
ed body, and work in harmony
with it for advancement of the
business interests of the two
cities.
There was presented and
adopted a resolution commend
ing The Oasis for it's consistent
and friendly course toward the
people of Mexico and their bust
ness interests, and for the par
ticular attention it has given to

velopment of the great resources
of the West Coast of Mexico.
The resolution named The Oasis

Commerce of Nogales, Sonora.

WORLD FOOD SHORTAGE AHEAD.

The nations of the world face a
food shortage. Conditions are not
local anywhere. Unless people every
where save certain foodstuffs, nota-
bly, wheat and sugar, there is going
to be famine even in the United
States. The heavy demand upon the
nations transportation has had it's
influence in certain localities where
there have occurred temporary short
age of certain commodities, but, say
what We will, there is no getting
around the fact that the submarine
campaign of the enemy is destroying
large quantities Of valuable food
stuffs. Every ship that is sent to the
bottom of the ocean means just that
much foodstuff irretrievably lost
gone; made useless to man; wasted
ard destroyed. just as effectually as
il it were burned.

that there is a real food shortage and

THE SOUTH NO STACKER.

The South has often been accused
of being a Stacker in grain pro-
duction 1t is true that much of the
Central South does not give the at
tention to grain which is essential to
its best development; but the South
should receive due credit for its grain
crops, which are very much larger
than is generally understood by the
public and especially by those in 9TH
er sections, and sometimes, notably,
by officials in the United States de-
partment Of agriculture.
The total crop of grain of the South
last year shows a. decline Of $4,000,
600 bushels as compared with 1915,
but the decline in the rest of the
country of over 1O9,OO0,O0O bushels
is more than twice as much. Com
pared however. with the average of
the five preceding years, the South's
grain crops show a gain of 195,433. :
600 bushels, or 14.3 per cent; while
the gain in the rest of the country
for the same period is 383,221, 900
bushels, or 1O.1 per cent Thus on
either basis of comparison the South
shows a greater percentage of growth
in grain production than the rest of
the country.
The total increase in the corn crop
of the United States last year over
1916 is 607,S42,000 bushels. Of this
gain 31S, 100000 bushels, or more than
one half, is in the South, excluding
Texas and oklahoma Moreover, the
corn raised in the South is to a large
extent of good quality, as it was not
injured by early frost as much of the
Wester ncorn. While the total corn
crop of the United States is reported
as 3,191 ,0S3,0O0 bushels the depart
ment of agriculture reports that at
! least 20 per cent of this was injured
by frost and it's quality seriously less
ened. The feeding quantity of corn
| this year, therefore, is much reduced
by this low average quality. The
South shows up pre-eminently we'll,
| therefore, in the production of corn
and in the increase over last year.
Even if we include Oklahoma and
Texas, where the corn crop is over
i 100000 bushels short of lest year,
there is still a net increase in the
South of 249,1S7,OOO bushels.
Viewed from the point of increase
as compared with last year these fig
ures absolve the South from further
criticism as a Stacker in the matter
OF food production, yet unfortunately,
even this gratifying increase is insult
ficient to supply the needs Of the
world in these critical times and
farmers of the South should continue
to increase their production of all
kinds of foodstuffs, especially grain.
