OLD ARMY SHOES ARE
 SAVED IN ENGLAND
London Times)


 One of the most remarkable factories It is conducted by the Royal Army Clothing Department, and is run en- tirely by women, with the exception of five skilled men over military age.
 It is a salvage factory for old army boots Here are sent discarded boots from France and from the home com mands to be sorted and the best of tbem made suitable for wear again. The first preliminary sorting is done outside where the sacks as they come in are emptied. This is not a savory job; the boots are usually thick with mud: some have the solcs dropping off, and others are filled with rotten straw or an old sock that the man had stuffed in to ease his feet. All of them to the uninitiated eye look totally unfit for further use. But the sorters know better. Their trained hands and eyes quickly decide what can be made fit for active service again and What-gener- ally boots with bad uppers-must be finally scrapped. Even if one of pair is unfit for further use, the other is saved, for. as the sizes are standard ized, there may be another odd one that will also be saved to go with it.
 There are two hundred women 'em- ployed in this factory, most of whom were originally engaged in jam and pickle factories, but preferred a work that linked them more closely to the fighting units. There are two other factories for repairing boots in Eng land, but the London one is the largest.

GRANITE REEF RULE
 MUST BE OBSERVED
TEMPE OFFICE Mrs. Chas. Prather Brown Mercantile Company
 Phone 7t

MESA, Feb. 17.-This warning is re- quested by a resident of the Granite Reef section, and from what he says it will be well for the public to heed it. There is a positive prohibition against any one travelling along the river bottom between the waste gates and the dam, the use of the pathway along said route is forbidden and the crossing of the canal bank toward the river. Signs have been placed along tLe path and the other day some one tore down and drove over the sign placed at the canal bank. The regulars on guard at the dam have instructions to shoot when these signs are disre- sardod, and shooting is the last thing any one of these soldiers want to do, when the offending person is friendly 10 the government. However. orders arc very strict regarding the dam and the citizen suggesting this warning states that the general public seems determined to disregard the orders.
 Said he. This is war times to the soldiers and they are under positive orders to keep people away from the dam, particularly the territory above outlined, and once recently, the nearby presence of the sergeant was all that prevented a guard from firing on a man who refused the halt signal. The ser gcant happened to be close enough to the offcn6er to stop him and explain

SOME BENEFITS OF
 THE PRESENT WAR
Gmplement Journal.D

The war. with all it's horrors will not be without it's benefits, and the implement industry will be one of the beneficiaries. One of the greatest problems with which the industry has been confronted has been standardiza, !, tion. In the development of the industrvI manufacturers were forced to cater to the whims of localities and dealer to such an extent that implement manu- facture instead of centering on a few type have been compelled to distribute manufacturing operations over a wider range of types and sizes. More than thousand types of blows have been built. The result of this system has been an unjustifiable manufacturing expense, which has had to be passed on to dealer and farmer
 The eXigencies of war bid fair to ad- vance standardization. We have all ready seen one example. The four wheels of farm trucks are to be made the same standard size, so that they will be interchangeable. Standardiza- tion can and will be extended to other lines of farm operating equipment What standardization can be made to accomplish has been shown in the de- velopment of the Liberty motor for air craft and standardized government military truck. Standardization of tractors is now being worked out The result will be that when the war is oVor the production of farm machinery eau aeep pace with domestic and for eign needs, and at less expense than ever before
 The ar is also teaching our farmers how to get greater production from their fields. It is teaching them to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-Financial ana commercial interests have given hearty support to the governments program for voluntary regulation of DE capital expenditures, Paul NJ. Warburg, chairman of the federal re- serve boards capital issues committee said tonight in q statement contain ing the first official summary of the committees work since it's organization several weeks ago.
 The action of the New York stock exchange in requiring the approval of the capital issues committee as a con dltlon for the listing of new capital issues, said Mir. Warburg indicated that the government would rely to a great extent on the support of-financial in- terestS-without compulsory legislation The Kansas League of Municipalities in urging that cities during the war undertake paving and other public i'm proVements only if they are imme- dlately necessary also was declared most encouraging"
 Somewhat less than 90 formal appli- cations for approval of the proposed securities issues have been received by the committee, but many informa! requests and inquiries have been made In scores of case the committee. after consultation with its advisory body headed by Allen B. Forbes, has asked for more information on contemplated issues and is awaiting further details. No announcement is made of actual approvals or disapprovals given.

EACH LOCALITY ID LOOK AFTER LABOR
 NEEDS FUR CROPS
TRepublican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON Feb. 16-The United States employment service will rely on each locality so far as possible to sup ply the labor needed for producing the nations food crops this summer. If others are required they will be ob- tained from the surplus of workers in industrial centers. In the mobilization and distribution of both classes of la Dor, the farmers will have the fullest cooperation of the service without eX pense to themselves.
 The service will aid in supplying la bor for the sugar beet district in Colo rado and the cotton section in the Im- perial Valley of California, where growers report shortage of men. Many MeXicans formerly employed for such work have returned to their native land because of misunderstanding regarding the draft law.
 Higher wages than ever were paid for farm labor are expected to be a fruitful aid in the back to the farm movement. Calls for help in some sec tions carry offers of s35 to $50 a month with board, lodging and washing for single men, and a house. garden, fuel and COW for married man. While many reports of farm labor scarcity and the necessity of using fe- male labor for heavy farm work have been found to be exaggerated, women will be enrolled and are expected to prove valuable in light truck farming fruit picking, and packing. College stu dents and high school boys also will be utilized after schools close.

CANDY HAS BECOME
 A REAL NECESSITY
(BrooklNn Ia glel

Sugar for use in cooking, for fruit conservation, for the sweetening of tea and coffee we think of as a necessity. though without anything of the sort Greece grew to glory and Rome to grandeur. Even three h6ndred years ago sugar was sold by apothecaries at about $50 a pound, and never thought of as family supply.
 But the candy is regarded by most grown persons as a luxury to be sacri- ficed without much hardship; it is even sacrificed at the Lenten season by gentle devotees who have little of the ascetic in their trends and tend ercies. The average American is bit inclined to smile at the notion that candy is serious element in life.
 Administrator Hoovers suggestions about saving sugar by eating less candy are therefore commonly accept ed as rational. But the manufa cturers note some considerations that are novel to the average mind.
 First, the foreign demand for candy is now vastly increased.
 Second, the call from camps where United States soldiers are being trained is unexpectedly large.
 Third, an unanticipated greed flor candy has appeared in several or the states which have recently gone dry"
 Each of these phenomena has. of course, a clear and valid physiological explanation Men in lumber camps in cold weather will go on strike if they can't have plenty of syrup on cakes for breakfast. Sugar. is a heat producer. not so quick acting as alcohol and free 1 from the perils of alcohol. In lands where war exposure must be met. in cities where fuel cost has become all most prohibitive, in states where the l purchase of alcohol has been made diff l ficult or impossible, sugar is needed In fact, our temporary shortage is due chiefly to immense exports to France
 Loose sugar is not convenient to car ry or handle. Candy is. The soldier even on the firing line may have ii handy. The embryo warrior in camp can revel in it. The dry state" citi zen who used to take one or two drinks day may find in candy par tial substitute. Hence civilians, mer and women. boys and girls, especial. boys and girls, listen to the voice oi Hoover, charming never 50 wisely 1 What they give up will help the boys in arms.

LIMIT ON CLOTHES
 IN THE OLDEN DAYS
Buffalo Express.)

Will the war cause this country 10 promulgate laws regarding women's dress?
 As yet we have made no effort to reduce our expenditures for clothes. Indeed, we 'have been urged not to econimize closely in our expenditures for clothes because any such econ- omizing necessarily disturbs the eco homie conditions in industry. and consequently, puts many persons out of work.
 At least until industrial conditions have a chance to become adjusted to the new situation, and until women who are now engaged in the work of making other women's finery and clothes and have found employment in some of the many industries upon which the success of the war will de- pend, we are urged not to make any drastic changes in our buying of clothes.
 If laws are later enacted governing the kind of clothes we may wear they will not be the first of their kind in this country. Puritan New England boaste1 of many laws concerning finery not only for women. but for men as well. Here is a law of the Massachusetts colony passed in 1884 that seems to cover the whole field:
 "The court, taking into consideration the great, superfluous and unnecessary expenses occasioned by some new and immodest fashion, as also the ordinary wearing of silver, golde and silke laces, girdles, hat bands, etc, hath therefore ordered that no person. either man or woman, shall hereafter make, or buy any apparel, either woolen, silke oi lynen, with any lace on it, silver, golde silke or threade, under the penalty oi forfeiture of such cloth.

Facts Proven by
 Figures
Remarkable Number of Pho. tographs Taken by
 Electric Studio.

During these war times the public is becoming familiar with large figures. So great have been the appropriations for different military and naval re- quircments that one does not finger in the consideration of them unless they run into the millions.
 Forget money for a moment and think only of pictures, photographs to be more exact You know how many peo- ple live in the city of Phoenix. Then imagine it's inhabitants buying 44,1S0 photographs, and that in very short period of time. Approximately seven weeks would amply cover the time that The Electric Studio has been in business and they have succeeded in producing this large amount of work.
 Success follows always as the logical result of merit. The merit of the Elec- tric Studio consists in their ability to give the public better work at a lower price. People from all sections of Phoenix and many from the outside districts are beginning to realize this and take advantage of the many in- ducements that this enterprising studio makes it's patrons
 The Electric Studio turns out most attractive panel photograph for sixty cents per dozen. A beautiful folder goes with these and may be purchased for a small additional amount. Post cards are just the thing to send away to your friend and can be purchased for very reasonable prices.
 In fact you will find that all the work of the Electric Studio is of very higf quality and always little cheaper than any other place in town. Make it a point ovisit them today at 3l west Adams-Adv.

 Ii is difficult nowadays. when women wear brooches for riding and ever for motor driving and agricultural work. to realize what a tremendous sensation was caused only a little more than twenty-siX years ago when the rage for bicycling caused many women to put on boomers for that sport. But it is true that laws were seriously thought of against boomers. That is to say, there were various efforts to arrest women in boomers under the law that makes it illegal for a woman to appear in male attire or a man 10 appear in woman's attire in the public streets. Long before the days of our earliest struggles with the clothes question. other countries had passed laws in an effort 10 keep down extravaganza and excess in the matter of apparel.
