Food Administration

The Food Administrator wishes
to make a few announcements as
to the rulings effective, Sept. /.
AS soon as possible, a new -four
called Victory Flour will be
milled, which will contain twenty
per cent of substitutes, and when
this flour is put on the market,
which will probably be in about
six weeks, there will be no limit
in reason to the amount which
may be purchased. In the mean
time, wheat flour will be sold
four pounds Of flour to one pound
Of substitute and only six pounds
per month per person may be
purchased, but a months supply
for a family may be purchased
at one time.
The sugar allowance will be the
same, but the American people
are to put on an honor system
and must pledge themselves to
buy only the amount to which
they are entitled. This will make
it unnecessary for the retailer to
keep the elaborate card system
which has been used and put the
responsibility directly up to the
consumer.
A small amount of sugar is yet
available to Navajo county for
canning purposes, but it is very
specific ruling of the Food Ad..
ministration that the fruit must
belin the house before the sugar
can be obtained. Permits may
be obtained from the Washing
ton school from 2::3O to 4::3O every
afternoon. People are requested
to only come at those hours.

Deputy Food Administrator.

President Coming West

1t is announced that President
Wilson will probably make a tour
of the west during the campaign
for the Fourth Liberty Loan,
making speeches, and he has
promised Senator Ashurst he
would try to visit the Grand Can
yon during the time. Perhaps if
some of our people get in touch
with the managers of the presi-
Dental tour some arrangement
could be made to have him make
an address at Winslow during the
time his train is in the city.

|. A. of M. Dance

The local lodge of the Interna.
tional Association of Machinists
observed Labor Day by giving
a grand ball in the Electric thea.
ire Monday evening. The hall
was handsomely decorated in red,
white and blue bunting, and
American flags, and all the guests
were given flowers and handsome
embossed programs of the dance
numbers. The music for the oc-
casion was furnished by the opera
house orchestra of seven pieces.
The prize for the best walters
was awarded to Lieut.. Faulkner
and Miss Teresa Monroe. Mr..
Murphy, the photographer, took
a fash-light picture during the
evening when the festivities were
at their highest.
The net proceeds of the dance
amounting to 5000, will be do
mated to the local Red Cross
chapter.
The machinists want to espec-
tally thank the four brotherhoods
for their assistance, both fnan-
cial and otherwise, in making
a success of their evening.
For a number of years the ma
chinists at the shops have main
tanned no local organization, but
a few months ago they decided
to organize and affiliate with the
International. The lodge here is
known as Grand Canyon Lodge,
No. 1913, and they have a vigo-
Gus membership both in strength
of numbers and IN activity. AS
the dance was their first public
entertainment, Mr.. A. L. Doo-
little, as master of ceremonies,
introduced Chas. McCauley, of
the locomotive brotherhood, who
congratulated the machinists on
their decision to organize, and
complimented them on the splen-
did entertainment they were CIV
ing their assembled friends.

Red Cross Notes

The Red Cross needs workers.
We now have materials, and
must get our allotment complet-
ed by October first.
All girls who are employed
during the day are invited to the
Red Cross workroom on Thurs
day evening. We hope to have
large classes of surgical dressing
workers meet each Thursday
evening until our present allot-
ment is completed.
The first dance given by the In
ternational Association of Ma
chinists on Monday evening was
a splendid success socially and
financially. Seventy dollars and
fifty cents, all above actual ex-
penses, was given as a donation
to the local Red Cross chapter.
We extend our thanks to the ma
chinists.
We would appreciate the loan
of sewing machines at our work
rooms. If yours is not in use,
and you will loan it for even a
short time, let us know and we
will send some one for it.

family and friends who were victims
of the disease.

Austria Formally Out of War.

Austria Formally Out of War.
London, Nov. a. Austria Hungary
is out of the war.
Deserted by her last ally, Germany
fights alone a battle which means ulti-
mate defeat or abject surrender.
After days of pleading an armistice
has been granted Austria-Hungary,
whose badly defeated armies in the
Italian theater, staggered homeward
under the violence of the blows of the
Allied troops.
Trent, in Austrian Tyrol, which the
Italians always have claimed as their
own, has been captured by them;
Triest, Austria's principal seaport on
the Adriatic, over which there has been
such bitter fighting, now flies the Ital-
ian flag, and Belgrade, capital of Ser
bia, has been re-occupied by the Ser
bians.
Germans Harassed in Belgium.
In France and Belgium the Germans
are being sorely harassed by the Brit
ish, French, Americans and Belgians
and there are indications that a deb
Rcle is about to occur
The ArgOnne massif, which has
proved a great obstacle to the French
and Americans, at last has been
cleaned of the enemy, and the entire
line appears to be crumbling Ameri-
can airmen report that the enemy in
front of the Americans are retreating
northward, that the roads are densely
hacked with trOOns artillery and
transports.
Enemy Retreats on All Fronts.
Likewise southeast of Valenciennes
the Germans are retreating before the
British, who are in close pursuit and
taking numerous prisoners. North of
the Aisne in Champagne the French
continue their pressure and have taken
several important villages, large num-
bers of prisoners and great quantities
of war stores.
The advance of the Americans and
French on the southern part of the
battle front, taken in conjunction with
the operations of Field Marshal Haig
and the Belgians in the North, threat
ems to prove the eliminating blow to
Germany's attempts to hold ground in
France or Belgium.
Indeed, it is not improbable if the
advance from the south continues as
rapid as it is, the greater portion of
the German army will be trapped be-
fore the men can reach the border.
The situation of the Germans seem
ingly is a critical one.
