ALMA DISTRICT ID
 INVESTIGATE ISSUE

MESA, March 9.-At a meeting held Thursday night at the Alma schoolhouse, a number of the resi- dents of the Alma community were present and listened to the proposi- tion to incorporate the district with the present Mesa district, bringing the Alma school under the one ad- ministration. The proposition came from the idea in the minds of some that advantages would accrue both to the Alma and Mesa district from such a combination. After discus sion, a committee was appointed to investigate further, with particular reference to the financial considera- tions involved. It is understood that the same question of uniting the districts will be taken up at Lehi in the near future.

WAR TALES TOLD BY DR. PERRY
 DELIGHT H|G H SCHOOL PUPILS

prainted to represent the very bridge it covered Underneath, the French were busily engaged in rebuilding the injured structure, while the German aviators were deceived by the camou- flage into believing that the bridge was still in ruins. When the appointed time arrived, the bridge was fully re- paired, and the French marched across to victory over the surprised enemy.
 As another clever example of the art of camouflage Dr. Perry told how the allied armies would carefully conceal from enemy airplanes, the roads lead ing from the trenches to the rear. Then running parallel, and some distance away, another road would be built, fully exposed to the watchful German airmen, who, seeing men at work upon it, naturally would suppose it to be a regular road, and would bomb it with great persistence, meanwhile the real traffic would be going on through the camouflaged highway. These imita tion roads would always have men upon them keeping them in repair to bear out the deception.
 He also told of the methods used in gaining information of the enemy movements behind the lines The mo- tion picture camera, he said, is used to a great extent by airmen, who upon making the movies" return to the base, where the film is quickly de- veloped and the records given to the army officers along the line. In this way the opposing armies keep up to date on the movements of their oppon- l ents.
 Underground Palaces
 l One of the most Interesting parts | of the talk was Dr. Perrys descrip- tion of the elegant fittings of the Ger man trenches along the "Hindenburg' line. He told how the Germans. eX- .,ecting to remain in the Tine" unth the war was settled, went to work at very elaborate systems of dugouts and trenches. He told of one trench, when taken from the enemy, that was dug 40 feet deep, and stretched for 15 miles along the front. Another case was cited where a dugout. as large as the high school auditorium, was found fortified to the extreme. with even brass railings around the staircase leading from the upper trenches down to the dugout. The fittings were stolen from the palatial French chat eaus that fell in the captive territory
 In reference to the war work now being done by the American Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A., Dr. Perry gave many incidents He stated that the Red Cross is now feeding 30,O0O French soldiers daily, and supplying soldiers who have been granted furloughs, new clothing, baths, and clean food to pre- pare them to make a suitable appear ance before their relatives and friends He said that General Pershing stated l that the greatest service the American. can render bleeding France is to sent

In Hospital for Appendicitis
 Ed. Price who went from Mesa to Camp Funston, is having more than his share of hard luck. For some time he was in the hospital on ac- count of rheumatism, and now his brother H. Price of the Golden Rule store is in receipt of letter from his mother stating that Ed. had been taken to the hospital for an opera ton for appendicitis. He was a sufferer from this trouble before his enlistment, and the operation was then recognized as some time necessity in order for his complete restoration to health.

Temporary suspension of the meat
less meal and of the special restric-
tions against the use of pork on SAT-
nrday was announced by the food ad-
ministration Sunday night a. a re-
adjustment of its food conservation
program. Increased meat production
and the necessity for still greater
saving in wheat, il was declared,
make the change advisable.
The change il made effective for
an indefinite period. and il probably
will last for three months or longer.
Since all restrictions on con
sumption of mutton and lamb had
been lifted previously the food adj
ministration now asks the public for
the time being to deny itself in meats
only of beef and pork on one day n
week-Tuesday.

administration officials believe, will
of itself curtail the use of wheat and
for the present there is no intention
TO add 10 the restrictions already in
