Now for Business
tell us.

We believe now that bills covering all legislation recommended in the governors call for legislation that is even remotely related to the call have now been introduced in house another Other bills covering the subjects designed to dispace meas ures which have been found to be objectionable in form ready for introduction that in week the program ought to be completed unless there are enough salamanders who have a per diem interest in the prolongation of the session. to extend it.
 Legislation has for two weeks been obstructed by eXtraneous matters. Through the clouds of steam which members emitting, they could not perceive clearly what they about. In the hiss of the capng vapor they could not hear distinctly the voice of the country But the steam, told, has all been blown off. The gentlemen who unfortun- ately and needlessly driven into factions have told what they thought of members of opposing factions until there seems to be nothing more to be said and there appears to be disposition toward reiteration.
 We believe, at any rate, hope that the bers and all concerned having relieved their systems, will put through the business which has brought them together There is not much of it. though it is very important It only requires that the legislature and the governor bear in mind that war is the chief business of the nation and that the war is not an internecine war.

MANY COOKS ARE ' WANTEDF0RWAR

Nearly so cooks are required every month for overseas duty in the United States Marine Corps. The local re- cruiting station at 111s West Washing ton street has watchful eyes for those applicants who have had previous ex- perience in this occupation. These men. while no definite promises will be made that they will immediately be detailed for this duty. are required to undergo the prescribed course of training at Mare Island, California. All applicants claiming to be cooks, will be enlisted as privates for such duty as may be assigned to them until the opportunity arises for detail in this line. The fact that the chances are excellent for being detailed as cooks | in the Marine Corps is the cause of many applicants placing their appli- | cations daily.
 Lieutenant c. A. Fachman, officer in charge of the district of Arizona, re- ports the following acceptance and transfers of successful candidates to Mare Island, California.
 | Eugene J. Hayward, John W. Ray burn and James L. Mills from Phoenix; Maurice D. Nowell from Gilbert, David Garnier from Gainesville, Texas, Joseph V. Muirhead from Bisbee; Lewis J. Carr from Mesa. Leslie D. Smith from Peoria, George Lee, Jr.. trans ferred from Phoenix, June 4, and Louis

Grain and National Efficiency

The reason given by Food Administrator Hoover for not prohibiting the of grain by the breweries will not be satisfactory to temperance people and will not be convincing to those who understand the psychology and habits of users of alcoholic drinks. It is the belief of Mr. Hoover that long whisky and gin sold and though the dstillaon of those spirits has been stopped there still large stock in this country, it is not well to force the population upon a whisky and gin basis Such a thing, he be- leves, would far outweigh the annual saving of a half billion bushels of grain
 It is the theory of Mr. Hoover it is that of many men, and it is purely off hand theory, unsup ported by the results of observation that in the mass who use intoxicating liquors moderately habitually will any kind of liquor if they cannot get the kind they prefer That is true of men, but of a comparatively few men. We have had ample proof in this community that who cannot get whisky beer wine, drink Jamaica ginger, lemon extract and even denatured wood alcohol.
 But the great bulk of every kind of alcoholic drink is consumed by men who want that drink or none Beer is consumed by beer drinkers and whisky by whisky drinkers. The normal average drinker of either beverage would probably drink water if his favorite drink was cut off. The comparatively few beer drinkers who would be driven the immoderate of whisky and gin would not constitute notice able impairment of national efficiency which the food administrator IS so anxious to preserve The contri button by such to national efficiency would not offset the loss to the nation of even one thousand bushels of wasted grain. What then must we say of the permitted waste of 6OOOOOOOO bushels?
 This is matter of especial interest in the prohi- biton states and to temperance people everywhere who are getting along uncompainingly unusual grain foods. In own community since the ration system adopted many families through their own carelessness misunderstanding have already used their quotas of bread for the month and find them selves unable to purchase for the month of any kind of bread.
 Their privation is not borne the more cheerfuly when they know. each one of them, assuming that there are 1oooOO0OO people in the United States that six bushels of grain for each individual is being wasted under the authority of the food administration
 It may be observed that Mr. Hoover's statement is only slight variant from the argument of the brewers framed some years ago when they drew apart for their own existence from the distilers

delightful daughters who have visited this country from time to time to tell why the suffragettes had not succeeded in securing suffrage at home.
 Mrs. Pankhurst established a following in this country, almost cult of violence, which has done more to reard suffrage than any other thing. In the midst of the perpexities into which the war has thrown they have made nusances of themselves to such extent that but for the noble who have proceeded along sensible lines the of suffrage would have been obstructed for many years.
 We should say though for Mrs. Pankhurst, that since England embarked in the war, her activities have been diverted to work at least to bustling and it is about that suppose she will tell us.

THE CASTE SYSTEM IN INDIA

Caste Gin India) is often referred to compara lively modern institution, and considering the ilim- able antiquity of India perhaps it is The word is not Hindu at all and has exact equivalent in any Indian language It was first used by the Portuguese and was applied by them to system which they found flourishing in the country in the Fifteenth Century. How long caste as a principle has been in operation in India nobody knows, but it fastened upon the people in definite form about the Third Century of the Christian era through the promuga tion of social code, known as the code of Manu which divided the Hindus into four distinct classes fixed the status of each class by of exact and minutely detailed rules of social contact and ceremonial.
 First in order of. rank came the Brahmans or priests, who themselves formulated the code for the purpose of maintaining their supremacy and of estab- fishing permanent hold upon the people. They de- creed that next to Brahmans stood the warriors after who tillers of the soil and traders. The fourth class, originally the conquered aboriginal and Aryan people is a class of serfs and menials. which has developed into and pitiful population known the ''untouchabes."
 If the class distinctions of India were limited to these four divisions would be enough perhaps as it has proved to be in Japan, where similar ancient system existed up to few years, goto ruling prejudices and to adjust social customs to modern political developments; but the classes have become subdivided into many castes that not the most learried Indian knows the number of them, and the result is dsunion of national life that is utterly bewildering and knows parallel In fact the of the word national is not justified
 There is no India, really there Indians. There is just great country known in modern history India, which is inhabited by innumerable groups of people that bound by established rules-re, enforced by abysmal ignorance and unbelievable su- perstition-to avoid each other clean men would avoid lepers. These different groups may marry; they may not sit at table together or drink from the same cup the threshold of high caste man may not be crossed by low caste man; and men of all castes alike from the lowest of the untouchables to the highest of the second class, ensaved by seduously nurured faith the superhumanty of the Brahman.
 And it must not be imagined by those who have never had time opportunity gain familiarity with this subject that the Brahmans all priests whose province is to minister to the spiritual of the people. Not at all believe all priests and teachers of the Hindu faith Brahmans but the Brahman caste, which has maintained it's supremacy unchal- lenged throughout something like two milennums is numerically very strong and is itself divided into ap- proximatey eighteen hundred subcasters-Eleanor Franklin Egan in the Saturday Evening Post

MANY NOW ARE THE
 USES OF SAWDUST
Los Angeles Times)

There was a time when sawdust was merely "the stuff" that floated down stream from sawmills." Inl those days it had little use. except to serve as filling for icehouses and sim liar limited uses. Nowadays, however, its uses are maniforld, but it is prob able that few persons have any defi- nite idea of the immense varieties of its usefulness.
 If one enters the sample room of the modern manufacturer of sawdust ne will observe on shelves rows and rows of glass jars, stoppered and standing mouth downward. These are filled with finely powdered, soft, fluffy material in a great variety of tints and colors.
 There are reds of different shades, browns and yellows, to say nothing of the blacks and whites. These are the samples shown by the manufacturers and they represent the very finest qualities of sawdust.
 In these finer forms sawdust is made of perhaps sixty different woods, of varying degrees of fineness, for a variety of purposes. All these in ad- dition to the common, coarse sawdust
 of everyday commerce, of which enor- l nous quantities are sold.
 lHe SdWOuSL WHICH IS most familiar | is the sort that is obtained from lum-
 Der mills wherein lumber is resawed
 in manufacturing. This sort of saw
 dust is used extensively on floors to
 take up dampness in sweeping, for packing bottled goods, for bedding
 horses and for filling icehouses. Some | sawdusts are screened at the mills to
 remove chips and sticks.
 Sawdust, combined with oil, is put | up in packages for use in sweeping
 carpets, instead of the oldtime scat tered tea leaves. Sawdust from vari-
 ous non-resinous woods is employed
 in tremendous quantities in the smok- | ing of meats, and sawdust in the form of pulp is used in the manufac- | ture of dynamite.
 1 In combination with cement, saw dusts of various kinds and colors are
 used in the construction of special I flooring, such as that used in hos pitals. Such flooring, made with the
 material in plastic state. can be laid

powder. powders of coarser grain, or into a fine. feathery pulp. Varied as these sawdusts may be in their tints. they are produced and sold in their natural colors; as they appear ex- posed in the factories. Many of the uses of these manufactured sawdusts are trade secrets with their users.
 Manufactured satinwood sawdust is employed in the preparation of pastel boards for drawing purposes. Sawdust of briarwood is re-worked for some special uses. Lignum vitae sawdust is put to some chemical uses.
 The heaviest sawdust is that ob- tained from ebony. It is black in color, although there are traces of tiny white fibers. The ebony is not a large tree, and it's wood is not black through and through; the sapwood is white

Reports from over the county are that the fruit and vegetable canning and drying demonstrations now in progress under the direction of Miss 1mogene Neely. county demonstration agent, are meeting with more success than at first anticipated.

out in single piece, without cracks or jaints, and so made germ proof. It is furthermore, silent and easier to tread than tile.
 Some curious uses are found for the better kinds of sawdust. One of these pertains to the Spanish cedar sawdust, which is of extreme lightness. It is employed for. packing cheap chemicals contained in glass and shipped for long distances. In this relation there must be taken into consideration the question of weight and freight charges.

and so Spanish cedar sawdust enters the equation.
 Manufactured sawdust is made, not by saving lumber expressly for that purpose, but by the treatment of saw dust gathered from the various facto- ries wherein the woods were sawed. Some of these sawdusts may origin ally be very fine. as those cut by fine -toothed saws in the manufacture of veneers from fine woods, but all are subject to treatment. These sawdusts are ground into fine

A letter received at the local board from one of the boys in the big contin- gent that left here May 26 said in ef- feet that the officers at Camp Cody had repeatedly complimented members of the contingent. The letter continued quoting what one officer said: The best bunch r men that has yet struck Camp Cody. In 90 days they ought to be ready to go to France"
 This contingent took from Maricopa some of the best men in the county, many of them being men of families, men who have known responsibility for years, and it is apparent, judging from reports received at the local board, these men are throwing their whole hearts into the new life of sol diers of America.
