Chickens are high in price and very scarce. Eggs are retailing at 50 cents a dozen at this time.
 Fresh fish are offered each Thurs day and Friday. The New York Mar ket, on Railroad avenue, and Bab. bitt's market make speciality of fish on these days. Blood red salmon and salt mackerel are spe- cial offerings at the Flagstaff Mer- cantile Company.
 Sugar is scarce and restricted to two pounds per person per month, but there is good supply of corn and other syrups and molasses. On the shelves of one merchant we noticed Karo corn syrup, Towne's Log Cabin syrup, Scudder's syrup, Gold Medal syrup and Louisiana Maid molasses.
 A certain portion of the fruits and vegetables shipped in go to waste for lack of sale, causing the dealer to lose money. If the people of Flag staff would eat more fruits and vege- tables this waste would be eliminated and the price might thus be lowered.
 By reading the advertising in this paper the housewife can keep posted on the new fruits and vegetables com ing to the Flagstaff retail merchants.

Tangelo, New Fruit, Produced.

A new type of fruit, which has been named the tangelo, has been produced by the Bureau of Plant Industry through a cross between the tangerine orange and the grapefruit, or pomelo. As class the tangelos resemble round oranges more than either of their parents and are exceedingly va riable. Two well-recognized varieties have been thoroughly tested and have been distributed to co-operators for further trial, The tangelo has little acidity and resembles a tender and good-flavored orange more than a grapefruit or tangerine.

What are going to eat is the cry oi the nation. This is very much talked about subject in Flagstaff at this time of the year. The government asks us to conserve on wheat to the point o1 going almost entirely out of white oi wheat bread. Meat is very high and becoming scarce on the markets. The good housewife has tried all the new recipes she can find to make attract i've and wholesome substitutes for bread and pastries; some with good success others with little or no success at all. Many after spelling the best materials they have at hand have come to depend wholely upon the baker for bread and have banished pastries of all kinds from their household menues.
 Fruits and vegetables of all kinds are making their appearance on the local market as will be found by a trip through the down town grocery stores and meat markets. The Sun man on his rounds to the various stores in Flagstaff found the follow ing fruits and vegetables offered for the weekly market basket:
 Nice ripe California peaches. Only few days from the orchard. Sold by the basket or the pound at 20 cents the pound.
 Fresh apricots from the orchards of Southern California. Some fine ones now offered at the various fruit mar kets and they are ripe enough not to require much sugar for table use. The price per pound is 15 to 20 cents.
 Strawberries are still here. The best ones come from Oak Creek but the most of the market offering come from California. These must be ship ped in bye express which keeps the price up. Some fine ones are offered today at 15 to 20 cents the box.
 Red raspberries and Red Logan berries come in special iced refrigera- tor boxes and. are in fine shape for Friday and Saturdays trading and can even be kept over for Sunday din- ner. These never fail to tempt the palate of the epicure. The taste fingers long after the price is forgotten.
 Then there are the staple fruits such as oranges, bananas, lemons, grape fruit, and a goodly supply of apples of many different varieties to be had at every market in town.
 Purple figs from near Phoenix are coming and are fine for table use to say nothing of making of pre-

serves. Other Arizona grown fruits will soon be with us such as Verde valley peaches, Mesa cantaloupes, etc
 Watermelons, nice big ones from the Imperial valley have made their appearance and one firm has begun to ship them in by the carload. They come high but we must have them.
 Imperial cantaloupes are also here ready for your breakfast or dessert at two for quarter. Some very fine ones are offered for Friday and Sat- days market shoppers.
 In the vegetable stalls of the local stores may be found nearly all the seasonable vegetables.
 Here is list of those mostly in favor:
 Potatoes-New potatoes are fast crowding the old ones off tbe market and the price is being lowered as fast as the supply and demand will per init.
 Beans and Peas-The season for these is fast coming to a close, espe- cially for golden wax beans and peas. There are few, however, offered for sale at the various stores.
 Egg Handsome very fine varie- ties of this purple egg substitute are being offered for sale and are said to be very palatable.
 Radishes are still here, but the de- mand will soon be light, as the home garden is coming on and those who care for this vegetable can easily ily grow their own. [,
 Green chilli and bell peppers are sell ing at 30 cents the pound today.
 Cucumbers-Nice smooth fellows for slicing or salads, five cents each.
 Cabbage is coming in more plenti- ful as the weeks go by and is retail. ing this week at 6h cents per pound.
 Head lettuce, carrots, turnips and beets can be found in all the vegetable of the local stores and the prices range around two punches for 15 cents.
 Parsley for garnishing and soups and endive for greens" can be found at many places.
 Asparagus is still offered for the local market.
 Tomatoes-The field grown ones are here and nice ripe, fine favored ones are selling at 20 cents the pound.
 A few sweet potatoes are left from the old crop, but the local offering is not very large.

recently as to the provisions OF the

providing for the highway superin-

Of the act is printed below for the in
formation which it contains. From
this 1t Is apparent that the present

Is for four years and that his success

Chronic Cnnstinaiion.

pcrhaps you have never thought of
1t, but this disorder is due to lack
of moisture in residual matter Of the
food. If you will drink an abundance
Of water, cat raw fruits and take lots
Of outdoor exercise, you may be able
eventually to overcome it entirely. In
the meantime use the most mild and
gentle laxativcs. Strong and harsh
cathartics take too much water out
Of the system and make Il bad matter

agreeable in effect. Give them q

G.. and ID. Malvin Mowery, a stem
cgraphcr employed in the signal
corps office, formerly of Lancaster, Pa.
Clyde c. Waltman and Mowcry, who
arc room-matcs in Washingtn, are
alleged to have conceived a scheme
for getting the navy department to
pay the same bill twice, and to collect
one Of the payments through con-
federate in the Offices of the compa-
nies rendering the bill. They success
fully tested the plan twice, it is
charged, but did not try to actually
collect the money, and the firms re-
turned the duplicate payment to the
government.
FINALLY, with free access to navy
department files, they were said to
have obtained bill for $lS7 900 rem
dcrcd April 23 by the Morse Dry
Dock and Repair Company, Of New
York, for repairs TO thc government
vessel Canandauga, between March
and March Is this year After the bill
was alleged to have been taken from
the files the company was told it was
lost and was asked to submit a dupH-
cate, which was paid.' Before the men
presented the original bill for payment
they were arrested.
The scheme failed, it IS said, be-
cause the men tried through Pcake to
got in touch with confederate in Of
fees Of the dry dock company, and
an unnamed soldier who heard of the
plot Informed the government. Charles
e. Waltman became involved through
some correspondence with his brother
on hc subject. All four men have
been arrested and released on bail.
The significance Of the disclosure,
officials explained, lies in the suspi-
cion that similar attempts to dcfraud
'thc government may have been plan
ned by others who arc expected to
take warning Of this alleged corspira-
cy.
Definite proof Of specific payments
to contingent fec agents was gathered
today by Assistant Attorney General
Huston Thompson from records seized
by secret agents in the raids Monday
on agency headquarters in Washing

AS corrective measure Attorney
General Gregory is planning to ask
heads Of departments lctting contracts
to assist in coordinating their contract
work.
This is not expected to change
radically the system Of placing orders,
or to result in the formation of cen
lral government purchasing agency,
but it may have the effect of climinat-
ing the secrecy now surrounding many
war department contracts.

Washington, June -Establish-
mcnt Of an air route to Europe from
the United States in order TO bring the
sull force OF American effort in the
air to bear agains: Germany has been
decided upon as a definite project by
the British air council.
This was disclosed today by Major
General William Branckcr, controller
of equipment on the council, which is
in Washington to discuss this and 9th

Plans for an initial flight across the
Atlantic in August, September or Oc-
tobcr OF this year already arc we'll adj

sought and General Brancker hopes
the first machine to make tho crossing
will carry both British and American
pilots. at least three British pilots

| been disclosed, although General
| Branckcr laid stress on the fact that
the sole purpose Of the trip was TO
blaze a new trail to Europe over which
! American aircraft can be delivered
next year without taxing shipping.
Presumably ii arises from the fixed
purpose Of British air ministry TO car
ry the bombing warfare into Germany
on a steadily increasing sdA,lc until not
a vital SPOT in the German empire is
safe from allied raiders.
After General Branckcr had made
public his plans, Secretary Baker says
no army aviation officers had yet been
assigned to work in conjunction with
the British on the project
There is little doult. however, that
the strong advocacy Of the air road to
the front plan brought Ey General
Branckcr already has had1 consider

officers Of the army general staff to-
day as an achievement that c0Hd be
realized in the immediate future.
Many officers believe it would be
wise to inject an clement OF friendly
rivalry ipto the effort to be first to
make the iighh They argue, since
real value of the plan depends upon
tho ability Of American-built night
bombeNs and American pilots to cross
the ocean. the initial effort should be
partially, at least, an American enter
prise.
The n2int made by General Branck-
CT fav6Mng the employment of Britim
equipment for the venture is, that the
new RcllsRoycc 375 horsepower en-
gncs have proved reliable enough
practically to insure no difficulty from
this source. The American Liberty
motors, he said, are admittedly better
in performance than this RollS-Roycc,
being Of lighter weight and giving
greater power, but they have not yet
reached the status Of reliability Of the

7he ". C. '. U. Asks For
 Special Session Legislature

The following resolutions were un- animously adopted by Newport Chap ter of the Women's Christian Tenn perance Union requesting Governor Brough to call special session of the legislature to stop the importa- tion of intoxicants into Arkansas:
 Whereas, After many years of prayer and labor the good people of this state thought they had at last obtained law which would prevent our people from being sullied by the use of strong drink; and,
 Whereas, By decision of the su- preme court hole has been found in this law under which people can go and bring liquor into this state; and,
 Whereas, We saw the actual work ings of our so-callcd Bone Dry Law when it was construed to prevent the carriyng of liquor into our state long enough to know that it was not only a popular measure with all our substan- tial citizenship but also long enough to realize the great good which is ac- complished by the absolute prohibi- tion of the traffic in intoxicating liz quors; and,
 Whereas, Since this great hole has been discovered in our law we have begun to see the bad effects of per- hitting liquors to enter our state by any method whatever; and,
 Whereas, Christian womanhood asks the privilege and claims it as of right to rear their families in an at mosphere uncontaminated, even indi- rectly, by alcoholic beverages; and,
 Whereas, Our great nation is at war and all of our energies and resources are being taxed to the limit to carry on this war, which we hold to be a righteous one; and,
 Whereas, It will be grave folly to permit our citizens to waste their time running back and forth to neigh boring states for the purpose of in- troducing intoxicants into Arkansas and also reducing their efficiency by the accelerated use of strong drink when we need all the time and labor we can possibly muster to carry on necessary war work; and, s

 New York, Feb. 19.-Germany re- turned the attack on the Russian front and the Bolsheviki government must face it's greatest test of power of German militarism. The invading forces crossed the Dvina and are ad- vancing eastward from Kovel to Bol-I pynia to aid the hard pressed Ulx- rainians and protect food supplies ifl the new country. This is the lint military activity on these frUnts' since last November. What opposf- ton the Bolsheviki can or will offer is problematical. ss $:
 On the western front there have been no extensive movements. Aefinl activity is the predominating fact0r on the British and American fxopts in the north. The British accounted for sixteen German airplanes md one' machine was brought down by gfisrz jeans.

Whereas, We deem it sin for our state to thus encourage and permit people to spend their money for train fare to go buy intoxicants and per- init them to thus go out of the state and waste their money buying intox- icants when the money so spent is worse than wasted, is forever lost to good work or to the help of the gov ernment, when this money if not needed for the necessary and imme- diate care of families, ought to be in vested in Liberty Bonds ard War Saw ings Certificates; and,
 Whereas, The amount of crime, poverty, suffering and want that will happen in our communities, as re- suit of permitting intoxicating bever- ages to be introduced into out srate will be appalling and cause any in- creased expense upon the tax payers; and,
 Whereas, A Special Session of the Legislature to remedy these evils is badly needed, is the only way in which the situation can be promptly and effectively met and which will more than pay for itself in crime pre- vtntion, reduction of court costs and expenses and the upkeep of criminals, to say nothing of the manhood which can be restored and the manhood pre- served under stringent laws prevent ing the introduction of intoxicants in to our state.
 Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That we do hereby petition the gov ernor to call Special Session of the Legislature at once to meet this great emergency; and,
 A Be It Further Resolvel: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the governor, copy handed to the newspapers for publication and 9 copy sent to our state president to the end that she may rally the forces of righteousness and stop the further Ffnyasion of our fair state by this vile stuff and also to the eend that such steps may be taken as will end for all time the liquor curse throughout the length and breadth of the entire re- public. as that we may have stain
