SELL MILK BY GRADE |S PLAN PROPOSED
 BY CITY DA|RYMEN

Despite the fact that the milk sup ply of Phoenix is, in point of quality, the best in the state, and that it com pares favorably in this respect with the other sections of the southwest, an effort is now being made to make it even better. The impulse in this di rection is coming from the milk deal CTS of the district, who are endeavor- ing to secure municipal legislation that will insure a very high and con- sistent standard.
 committee representing the dealers of the valley is now preparing an ordi nance designed to carry out this pur- pose. While the proposed measure, which is being drafted with the assist ance of State Dairy Commissioner w. A. Barr, is not yet completed, an effort | is being made to have it in presentable form for the next meeting of the city commission.
 This proposed ordinance contem- plates the grading of all milk sold in the city, and will introduce a system of scoring, not only the milk, but the dairies, which will be judged by the sanitary measures each uses in the handling. selection and distribution of the supply. To guard against laxity, a provision is embodied which ar ranges for a monthly grade.
 This system will have the added ad- vantage of definitely classifying the milk sold. The incentive to keep the output up to the highest standard lies in the fact that schedule of prices for the product is being worked out and will be included in the ordinance. | According to this schedule, the ! dairyman whose milk is given the grade l of class A will receive the top market price. Another dealer whose product does not receive rating of better than class B will he compelled to dis pose of his supply at considerable reduction in price. Since a new ratins is to be made each month, every dairy man will pay the closest attention tC the quality of the milk he dispense. and the sanitary regulations surround ing it's preparation for the market since an infraction will result in ; lower classification for his product ant a consequent reduction in the price h. will receive for it.
 State Commissioner Barr, who ha
 been conferring with the committe'
 drafting the proposed ordinance, ha
 just returned from tour of the stat
 which he made in company with Ches
 ter F. Hoyt, market milk specialist o the department of agriculture. On thi
 trip, which embraced Tucson, Flor
 ence, Nogales, Ray. Winkelman, Hay den and Superior the officials inspecte' , the milk supply of the various dis tricts ice cream manufacturing plant and other places in which milk wa , used or sold to the public.
 While the state commissioner l, not vet in a position to announce tn result of the investigation, he state
 that the general conditions encountere
 were fairly good, and very much i'm
 proved over the showing made b these districts in the past.

HOLIDAY WEEK IS
 DULL F0R HOTELS

Christmas came and went in Phoe- nix hotels and left no noticeable re- suits, except an increased dullness Of business which will last throughout the holiday season. Although there has been less than usual traffic in the hotels the last week, yesterday found business duller. Hotel men explained that by this time everybody who has home to go to has gone there a1- ready. and being there will remain un- til after New Years.
 The dull Christmas season worked no hardship on the city's hotels, how ever, as all are still pretty well filled. New arrivals have dropped 10 d very low number, however, and are expect ed to remain so for about q week, when the usual winter season in Phoe- nix. when the city becomes the resort of people from every state, will return in full swing. Hotels arc looking for ward to a heavy business and full houses during practically all the res' of the winter.
 None of the leading hotels Of tho city were the scenes of any special festiVity Christmas eve and Christmas night, except for the usual Christmas l dinner.

The Reply to Mr. McAdoo

The reply from MT. Thompson to MT. McAdoo reads:
 Dear Mr. McAdoo: The Liberty Loan organization in this city. county and state has come to the assistance of the War Savings Stamp campaign It is our intention, if possible, to put Phoenix, Maricopa county and Arizona up to the usual percentage of effic- iency at this time. While the War Savings work is behind, we do not despair of accomplishing the hard task for the few remaining days of the year. With the earnest cooperation of the people and the redemption of pledges already given and filed with the treas ury department, we will still be able to do so.
 May be permitted to make sugges- tions for the handling of the future | loan campaigns? In the first place, l 1 believe it essential that there should be fusion of the Liberty loan organiZa- ] ton with that for the War Savings Stamps. They are working for a com mon purpose and the work could be ! done and done better by one than two organizations.
 For the war Savings Stamps, 1 be- 1 lieve that the idea given the people of i getting their money back upon presen- tation of their stamps is not a good one and does not teach thrift-rather the contrary It seems to me that the stamps should be sold so that when a person has invested $l00 in them. then and not until then. are they to be re- deemed. And continue the plan on the S100 unit basis, making them redeem able at S100, s200, $300. and so forth.
 T believe it a fundamental mistakt to allow the people to think of tn Baby Bonds as investment for childrer and small wage earners. They are al ideal investment for all-farmers, mer- chants, professional men and capital ists. This should be emphasized il future campaigns.
 For the next Liberty Loan cam
 paign I would suggest that the taxa
 ton value of property be the basis
 and that the quotas for the loan be ar
 ranged upon that basis and no othel
 Each firm with a pay roll should b

START 56 CLUb" ID PUT COUNTY OVER
 TOP IN BABY bONDS

Fred C. Joyce of Tempe in whose mind originated the idea of the forma- tion of a club of 56, each of whom pledged to do his or her best to sell 800 Baby Bonds in the few remaining ! days of the year, is the first man to volunteer for membership now that such a club is being formed.
 If there are 56 people in the county who will join the "56 Club" and will accomplish what they set out to do, Maricopa county will make her quota for the War Savings Stamps. Without some such plan the county will meet with failure for the first time in any patriotic campaign undertaken this 1 year, or since America went into the war, for that matter.
 There is still something over $110.000 to be invested in War Savings Stamps l in this county to complete the work 1 of the year, and the county committee admits that it will be q great task, per l haps too great to be accomplished, to 1 secure investors to that amount 1 In addition to MT Joyce, the follow ! ing are the first members of the ''56 !

Considerable excitement was created among the members of the Loafers' Club at the post of. flee yesterday morning when it was suspected that some Ger man spy was attempting to gas the club. The com mittee on ways and means was set to work at once and afte. an investigation by the said committee the cause for the alarm was found and a SUI o-com mittee was appointed to notify Poke Eazley, who had d batch of liberger cheese wrapped in rag and was carrying in his pocket for his dinner so that he would not have to go home for the meal, that this must not hap. pen again. Tobe Moseley was al. so notified that he must retire and wash his feet. With the dis appearance of, Poke and Tobe the club proceeded with routine business.
 Bat Smith, operator of the moonshipe still house on Musket Ridge, was fined one thousand dollars aud costs last week for the illegal manufacture of liquor.

 The stewards of the Dog Hill Methodist church met last week and voted to double Atlas Pecks' assessment for the preachers salary next year. Atlas has pub liciy announced that he will not pay it and if they insist he will take his chances on getting to heaven in some one of the other denominations.

Dunk BottS, Corresponds mt

The Hog Ford Baptist church is now without a pastor. The congregation has made no pub. llc announcement as to the why of the matter, but many of the Dog Hill Methodist congregation are whispering it around that they do rot blame the Hog Ford preacher for leaving; that his shoes and the rest of his clothes were getting pretty shabby.
 The Hog gwollow Loafers' Club will soon have to move ir from the front porch at the postoffice. The Postmaster says this is one of the reasons he dreads to see winter coming on, as he is never able to get close enough to the stove to get lis feet warm.
 It is about time to put up the stove at the postoffice and the Postmaster has discovered that one joint of the pipe and two of the stove legs are missing. He says when you have to make a requisition on the government for these things you can never tell when you will get them; that winter may be over before the stove can be put up.
 Those who have known Atlas Peck all those years says he looks just the same. whiskers and all. as he did when he came to Hogwallow forty odd years ago, except that it seems just little shorter from wearing off at the bottom.
 Luke Mathewsla is another one of our old and highly esteem. ed citizens who has been a dis appointment to the undertakers for many years. He expects to spend another delightful winter around the stove at the postof fee.
 There is some talk of the Old Miser leaving Hogwallow. It is thought his leaving is on account of his becoming too we'll known here.

price of other grains is now much moderated, there seems to be no occasion for maintaining the rules against using wheat for feeding purposes, as it would on ly go into use in obscure locali- ties for feeding chickens. There fore, previous rules limiting sale of wheat for feed are hereby re- pealed.
 The Food Administration has been able to arrange for suffi- cient quantity of tin plate to per nit the packing of beans. Per mission is hereby granted to canners of beans to pack during November, December and Janua. ry a total quantity not in excess of normal pack. For these three months canners may use up all odd sizes of tin now on hand. but additional purchases of tin smaller than the No. } size will not be permitted. It is still necessary for all shippers selling beans to canpers to secure a per. init before making sales. Can ners may not, however, contract for more than a three months supply of cans or beans.
 To the housewife we make this timely suggestion: The New Home Card will be out the first week in December. It contains the food program the govern ment asks you to follow in your home. Read that new Home Card carefully. Hang the Window Card ln your window beside the Service Flag and the Red Cross emblem. Remember, the Service Flag and the Red Cross will mean nothing if you don't live up to the Home Card. It is more important now than ever before that you follow the Home Card directions to a letter.
