MUST SAVE MORE
 FOOD THAN EVER FUR DUR ALLIES
Conservation Sunday, First
 Day In December, To Usher In New and Intense
 Program of Saving Here

The new conservation program Of the United States food administration will go into 75,000 homes in Arizona to hang upon the kitchen walls until the end of the war. That the war is long way from being finished is the view held by food administration off cials. Hence the elaborate program which has been outlined to maintain the greatest conservation possible in every home in America until the Hun lays down his arms in unconditional surrender.
 The first week in December will be set aside as home conservation week in Arizona. and during this week new l food administration home card, carry ing the 191S-19 program, will be dis | tributed to the households of this state ! by personal visitation ot every nome. Conservation Sunday.
 The week will be ushered in by Con- servation Sunday, which will be ob- served in churches of all denomina- | tions by the reading of a special mess age from Herbert Hoover.
 For some time past county food ad- | ministrators have been preparing for a gigantic drive for conservation week. | Community leaders and committees are being selected and all preliminary ar i engagements have been made so there can be no hitch in the distribution plan Spanish and Mexican families will not be overlooked as several thou sand cards will be printed in Spanish. When the inter-allied food council was held last summer the needs of the allies were computed and the resources from which they could be met were reckoned.
 Send Much More.
 Corrected as the returns from the harvest were ascertained and the ship ping possibilities were developed, the | schedules show that America must this coming year send for our armed forces and the allies half as much again ot | food supplies as last year. In place of | 11,750000 tons the shipments this year will be 17,500,000 tons. We are pledged to send 50 per cent more food and from substantially the same stocks as last year. There must be increased con- servation to accomplish the result. The inter allied council was told to pay nc attention to the American food situa- tion. We have it or we will find it.
 And in the light of Americas achieve ment, sending 140,000,000 bushels O.
 wheat where no surplus was to b' reckoned in advance, the allies gave full faith to Americas promise
 New Card In Every Home.
 As a first step in the new program it was resolved by the conference O federal food administrators who met il Washington when MT. Hoover returned from Europe in September to place il
 every home the card telling the essenc
 of the new program.
 The new program is less specific but no less definite than that of tn last r months. Then the food admin , istration was meeting one emergenc, } after another as it rose. This year l will be long, steady pull directed t
 the whole food situation and not S
 much to particular commodities. Afte a years experience the food admins 5 tration is on new footing here an l abroad. The ways have been learned
 the methods have been developed. Tn
 war conscience is active everywhere The spirit which will carry this ef . fort through to another triumph | alone the same, yet intensified by tn ,, year of anxiety and frightened hope
