IMPORTANT

Elsewhere in this issue we have
published an article under the head
Food Conservation Notes" 1t is
very important that every one read
this article. The food situation is the
key to success or failure in this
war. The people of this country can
live absolutely without flour or sugar
if it eb necessary. In this article Mr..
Turner, who lis at the head of the
food administration for Payette Coun-
ty, has sited you to other countries
that have collapsed and were forced
to surrender through starvation. II
we expect England and France to
continue with us in this struggle for
freedom. We must assist in supplying
them with food.

Dear Neighbor:
There is nothing ! can say to bC
you bear tho greatest of all sacri-
ficess the giving of your son anC
my friend to the cause OF oul
Country. You have been notified
already of the fact that web" lost
his life on a night some two weeks
ago, but it may be that by telling
you all know Of the tragedy, it will
ease your mind little at least.
Our train hauled his company back
from the trenches, few days age,
and it was not until then that knew
Of it. l did not write Immediately for
wa were so busy at that time that
didn't have time to find anyone who
was there at the time. Today, how
ever, l found a man who told me al
there Is to know about it.
A Fatigue party under him were
ON their way up to repair some
trenches. AS they passed through a
little abandoned town, a German
Shrapnel burst in their midst, wound
ing six men nd large piece hit
ting Web in the breast. The man
was talking to was part of the de-
tail, and was one of the men VIII
carried him to a nearby wall. They
did all they could to make him CON-
Portable; but he passed away with
in five minutes and was not con-
scious during this time so he could
leave no word.
He was buried with the regular
Military Honors in War Times, in
an Officers Cemetery there just
back of this same town.
The little personal things he car
ried were made into a package and
forwarded to the effects Depot, A.
E. F. by mail the next day. The bed
ding roll with all his other equip-
ment has not been forwarded yet;;
but the Captain of the Company tol2
me yesterday that it would be sent
in a very few days. Foot-lockers are
not allowed up this far, so it may be
some time before it can be remov-
ed from storage and forwarded.
The effects Depot will consign the
direct to you, but they will,
l think, come in three different bum
dies, the same as they are sent to
the Depot. In either case there
will be list of the contents of each
bundle mailed to you.
II there is anything else that you
want me to find out or do, / shall
be glad to do it, If you will let me
know what it is.
Keep this one thing in mind if it,
will help you as it does me: He al |
ways did his duty well and was ? |
good friend to both his fellow Of
ficers and also the men under him.
Every soldier who ever knew him
him as a true, honest, high
minded Christian man.
Sincerely,
ALLEN BROWN.

NOTICE

Owing to the fact that I was
shadowed several days last week by
the County Council OF Defense ON a
charge of insulting the flag, wish
to state that the charge is absolutely
false; and the Defense League, up
on investigation also found it to be
false. I also wish to make 1t known
to the public that 1t was far from
my intentions to insult the flag. l
am true and loyal American citi--
zen and look forward TO tie time
when Old Glory will wave IN 'tri-
umph in the present world crisis.
I feel that I have been insulted by
being charged with the 1offense.

Dear Folks:
A dandy letter from you this
week. Glad to hear that all are o. X,

Next Sunday at this time l sup
pose that We will be leaving for

back to the old gang. The school is
fine and a good bunch all around
but fellow is never satisfied.
Saw Lou Farber the first of last
week and had about an hour to talk
with him. He is driving a big car
and has been over the most OF
France. Has been up to the End anG
3rd lines once or twice.
Also had a talk with fellow
from company that some of the
old company went to and he says
that they are in the line and hav-
ing a quiet time. They were not
some of the Payette boys though.
Would like to hear from Web and
Steve but expect l will when 1 get
back to the outfit.
1t gets as hot as the Border here
some times and it rains harder than
it does down home. The country is
not so thickly settled and the green
fields are great to look at after be-
ing used to. sage brush hills. Went
for a walk last Sunday eve. Strolled
thru the grounds around an old Cha
tean (about 10 acres). My but it was
pretty, even If 1t is unkempt, due to
war times. The Chateau itself looks

A Conference at Phoenix Sat-

At the Hotel Adams, al

will be a conference of mining
operators that has been called
by a, number of those engaged
in the metal producing industry
both on a large scale and ii-yItld-
ing those who may be called

proposed constitutional amend
ment with regard to the work.
ingmen's compensation law.
The subject is one that inter-
ests every mining man in Arizo-
ma, whether he be manager of a
large corporation employing
hundreds or thousands of work.
men, in many different lines Of
labor; or whether he is develop
in a prospect, giving work to
but a half dozen miners. The
law compels them to compensate
their workmen who are injured
in their work, for loss of time on
account of injuries, and to COM
pensate the widows and orphans
| if the life of the bread winner
be lost in the line of duty. The
conference called will have an
important influence toward
adoption of the proposed amend
ment, and it is planned to have
a large attendance of all classes
i of operators, that all may arrive
at a clear understanding of
their responsibility and duties
in the matter and to reach con-
clusions as to what is to be done
in securing adoption of the new
amendment.
Operation of the present law
is described as unsatisfactory to
both operators and working
men, and the new law has been
drawn by representatives OF the
men most affacted, with an
agreement upon both sides that
this meets the wants and needs
of both in a most eminent de-
gree; and by a meeting of the
various operators they will be
able to exchange views and ex-
periences, arriving at conclu-
sions of vital Importance to the
issue now presented.
