ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS
REACH LARGE TOTAL.

A general idea of the quantity of
food sent to European allies by the
United States from July 1, 1914. to
January 1, 1913, is given by figures
just announced by the U. S. Food Ad-
ministration. In that period the Unit
ed States has furnished complete year
ly rations for 57,10O,933 people. In
addition there was enough extra pro-
tein to supply this portion of the diet
for %, 1884, $40 additional men.
The total export of wheat and wheat
-four to the three principal allies is
equivalent to about 3S4 100000 bushels.
Pork exports for the 31a years amount
ed to almost 2,OOO,0OO,0O0 pounds. Ex-
ports Of fresh beef totaled 443, ,484, 400
pounds. The amount of food exported
to Russia is negligible compared with
that sent to the western allies.

Defective Hyphenated Eyes

Paul Meyerhof of San Francis
co, California, formerly general
manager of the A. & B. Schuster
Company at Holbrook, has final
Iy secured his release for service
in the United States army after
a long controversy. Meyerhoff
is a native of Germany and came
to America to take advantages
of the business opportunities
this country affords and succeed
ed in making considerable money,
and to help his bank account
along married into rich family.
About the time the United
States declared war and for
sometime prior he put in over
time defending the H S
methods of fighting and sinking
of passenger ships. In the heat
of such an argument an Ameri-
can with red blood in his veins
kicked him out of a barber shop
at Holbrook into the gutter.
After that he did not have so
much to say. and soon moved to
California, but before going regi-
stored for the draft, assigning
some flimsy reasons for a deferr-
ed classification. The local board
granted his request but on appeal
to the district board at Phoenix
he was placed in class AL. Now
he comes forward with a defec-
tive eye-sight complaint and
with the assistance of a San
Francisco doctor POSSIBLY in
America for the same reason as
he) gets off because of being
near sighted. During his sever
al years of residence at Hol-
brook, Meyerhoff was always
credited with having sufficient
eye-sight to see the top price Of
anything the Schuster Company
had to sell without the use of a
step-ladder Notwithstanding the
Camoufage of Adolf Schuster,
the senior member of the firm.
If such spineless patriotics
were drafted and placed in the
front ranks on the battle front
it would be an eye opener to
some hyphenated citizens and
might be the means Of improving
the sight of Mr.. Meyerhoff. If
good for nothing else they would
make good breast works for the
boys who are willing and anxious
to get a shot at a Hun.

Some Political Conservation C

Conservation" seems to have
struck the state candidates who
have been merely drawing state
salaries during the past five
years to prevent the state treas
ury from busting wide open.
They are sending out personal
news" to the newspapers to help
the opulent country editor fill
up" his paper. In this news, "
if you scan it closely, you will
find that the candidates name,
age, repetition of his name,
also the things that he has done
to keep Arizona safe for a return
of his salary for the new two
years. Their salaries seem to be
'ingrowing" so far as they are
concerned, and if they can not
make the state pay their cam
expenses, they believe the pub
fishers of the state should stand
it-for, they need the job and
never earned enough money in
private life to help themselves
along at least that is the way it
would it seem. Some of them
seem to feel that it is a great
hardship on them because the
state does not furnish them
board and clothes, including the
necessary help to do the work
they are paid for. .-Coconino Sun

I HRIFT AND
CONSERV ALTON

Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year it is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
of the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens were the order
of the day This year the nation is
being taught the lesson of spending
its money wisely. The nation is being
shown the Importance of putting every
cent where it will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is
being told this year to be thrifty does
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
chinery to be bought or repaired
notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur
chased, harness, lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so well paid for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in its great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern.
ment is practical protest against the
plans of greedy, unscrupulous, soul.
less power intent on world conquest
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day of universal and
enduring peace.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage in ships tnat
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rationS.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated in India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January /, Australia had
stored 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels Of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus Of SO,OOO,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 18O,OO0,OOO bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During. April
100000 bushels more out OF
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left in the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,OOO,OOO to
the left over.
It is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist in the
world-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

Hunts Offensive Fails.

George w. P. Hunts grand
offensive to capture the Demo-
critic nomination for governor,
launched with the calling of the
special war session of the legis-
lature, is proving a rank failure
and indications now are that the
Hunt machine will be content if
it can put Golfer over on the
voters of the state.
The special war session has
turned out bad. There has been
lots Of war but it has been con-
fined to the legislative halls.
Evidently the governor had got
ten by so long in his affiliations
with members of the l. w. w.
and other worse enemies OF the
government without exposure
that he thought it safe to proceed
with the drive for that nomina-
ton which he started by his now
famous message which sealed
his friendship for and support Of
the wobblies..
Thousands Of former Hunt
supporters have been forced by
the disclosures of his intimacy
with the l. w. w. to abandon
him and instead of developing
him as a candidate for governor,
the special session has only
further discredited him. And so
the machine will line up behind
Golfer and take no chances of
defeat with Hunt as a candidate.
The'governor likewise fears to
endanger his senatorial aspira-
tions for 1920.
Golfers, S record IN the senate
fixes him in the minds of the
most unsophisticated as tool of
the Hunt regime. He, like the
governor, will never offend the
|. w. w. He will clay in the
hands of Hunt, Winsor and Ladd.
Golfer being a capitalist can
spread around the coin freely
and that is what the machine
likes. Hunt may yet try for the
nomination, but it is our guess
that Sutter, Hugh Campbell and
a few others in his own party
have put him on the shelf and
that Golfer will wear the Hunt
mantle. Tucson Citizen.

OWN YOUR
HOME

Mrs. Annie Nelson Of Tay-
lor deserves special mention
for her efforts and success in
saving which has enabled
her to own a home. Mrs.
Nelson is a careful, method
ical, systematic saver and by
placing her savings on depos-
it in this Bank enabled her
to further accumulate on her
earnings. We mention this
one instance because it is a
home affair, not a news story
from a foreign land. We
also mention this because we
want to impress upon our
people the important matter
of forming the habit of saw
ing, not stinting, but intelli-
gent and systematic saving.
What Mrs. Nelson has done,
we say
Go Thou and do Likewise.

Kdiserism Prognosticated

scraps OF paper" and the
purchasers of such securities in
this country before the United
States became engaged in the
war can expect to be paid in
values of that kind if at all. 1t
was due to the influence of these
bond holders in a large measure
that the German propaganda got
under headway with such a
swift start about the time it was
evident war would be declared
against Kaiser Wilhelm S country.
1t is estimated that Germany's
war debt to date is equal to
thirty percent of the taxable re-
sources of that country and the
end is not yet. This does not
include the great loss of life and
obstruction of private property
on account Of the conflict.
When the war is over, such
taxes will be laid on Fritz as to
make him sorry he is living,
even if Germany makes the most
favorable peace terms, which can
never be. He has, in times past,
with stupid docility, permitted
himself to be heavily taxed to
meet the demands of an expen-
sive military autocracy; but it is
conceivable, even yet, in view of
hardships being imposed on him,
that he may conclude his govern
ment is not what it should be
and raise an effective revolt and
do some governing and thinking
on his own account.
So certain was the German
high command Of achieving
victory in the first year of the
war that no new tax burdens
were levied, the plan being to
collect large indemnities from
tn e countries subdued. Blu t
things did not work out as ex-
pected and since that time Ger
many has manufactured credits
until credit pyramid has been
erected so high that it already
threatens to fall because of it's
sandy foundation and slender
construction.
The same conditions exist in
Austria only worse. The Austro-
Hungarian bank has simply be-
come an institution for the
manufacture of credit for the
government and it is in direful
condition as its holdings Of gold
has disappeared entirely, and
it's note issues have increased
over seven hundred percent.
Germany claims to have enter
ed the war to obtain peace. All she
wants is a piece of Russia, a
piece Of Belgium, a piece of Ser
via, piece of Turkey, a piece of
Bulgaria, a piece of Finland, a
piece of Montenegro, piece of
Roumapia. a piece of France, a
piece of Italy and a little piece of
the rest of the world with indem-
nifty. The same kind of a piece
that went glimmering wit h
Napoleon's efforts to grab the
world, the history of which
Kaiser Wilhelm seems to have
forgotten, but with Uuncle Sam
now to reckon with, has COM
menced to study how history re-
peats itself.
The longer the Germans and
Austrians back their autocratic
rulers in war, the more they will
have to suffer when the conflict
is over in paying off the great
d e bt burdens. Their future
looks so gloomy they may as we'll
form suicide clubs, and prepare
to shuttle off this mortal coil"
or keep up the march to the
canon mouth of the allies only to
be shot down like dogs for the
qualification of the kaiser.

Ample Sugar For Can
ming Season 1918

The many inquiries reaching
the office Of the Federal Fooc
Administrator for Montana indi.
Gates considerable anxiety on the
part of the housewives and others
over the prospective supply oi
sugar for 1918 canning. On this
general subject it may be said
that there is every assurance that
there will be sugar for the pre-
serving of the foodstulfs that
should be preserved in 1918. The
need for increasing the supply of
canned products in the home is
just as great this coming season
as it was last season and with the
improvement of transportation
facilities both on the ocean and in
country there need be no fear re-
garding the supply of sugar for
canning. America must conserve
sugar but canning is one of the
very best ways of preserving the
food supply and sugar used in
this way is being put to its high
est use. Every home should can
a full supply this coming summer.

you may be sure that the money
will reach the children. The safe
guards are;z first, the character of

every payment is made on govern

that if the child should fail to re-

They Shall Be Fed

Americas soldiers and Ameri

shall be fed. On them rests the
task of holding our enimies, theil
enemies, and Freedoms enemies
God only knows what burdens
will have to be borne during the
next three or four months. The
enemy is massing for smashing
attact on the west, and while they
resist this attack and defend Dem
ocracy they shall be fed.
They shall not be fed unless
America feeds them. Food can
not be imported from Russia be-
cause of European conditions, or
from Australia and India on ac-
count of insufficient ships, Amer
lea must feed them, and to do this
America must adjust her method
of handling food both in the store
and the home. We must not
hoard food, for that would take
it out Of the possibility of ship
meDt' We must not eat the foods
which they must have. They get
it from us or they 60 unfed.
They shall be fed, for the regu-
lations Of the Food Administration
which is charged with the respon-
sibility of seeing that they are fed,
shall be observed. Those who
will not observe are either Grim
inally careless or disloyal. The
careless shall be reused, though it
brings on their heads the weight
of public disfayor. The disloyal
either desire the enemy's success,
Americas defeat and Democracy's
destruction, or are willing to sell
their country for profits. These
must be treated as enemies and
prevented from conducting busi-
ness until the world is made safe
for Democracy.
Loyal Montanans, the rights Of
self government as well as our
very national existence are at
stake. We are at war. We must
observe the Food Administration
and conserve food.
For only in this way will our boys
in France and our associates in
the war be fed. They are hold
ing the enemy, and they shall be
fed.
