SHALL WE SEE 1T
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding it nee.
essary to call upon us three times
within year to provide by subscrtp-
tions to Liberty Loans, sums of money
hitherto considered Of fabulous pro.
portions. These facts should i'm.
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense seriousness, the
stern necessities, of the situation.
Continued acquaintance with the
more serious aspects Of life Is apt to
breed Indifference, and to distOrt our
mental vision. AS the soldier shud
ders with horror at his first sight
of carnage, but later becomes hard
ened, so are we apt to become com
placent under conditions which call
actually for increasingly strenuous
effort.
The Liberty Loan with it's original
accompaniments of novelty and noise
appealed to our national love Of a
new sensation. In the Third Cam
paign much of the novelty will be
lacking, but the serious purpose be.
hind the campaign will have grown
Our money was needed when both
the First and Second Liberty Loans
were f1oated, but it will be more than
ever needed when the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has grown
our national payroll has grown. the
needs Of our allies have grown, the
necessity of forever banishing the un
speakable menace of Prussianism has
grown. No longer can we hope that
the entrance of this country into the
struggle will induce an early peace
More arrogant, more desperate than
even the German Government puts
forward its impossible claims upon the
rights and life of humanity.
Our Government in its growing need
Is calling upon us to give UP ouI
.luxuries, is conscripting the lives Of
our sons, is controlling trade, labor
and prices, with an ever increasing
earnestness and firmness of pur
pose
The test of our personal strength
of character and determination 10 al
hand. Your Government pleads with
you very earnestly to preach and
practice both before and during the
next Liberty Loan Campaign a stead
fastness OF purpose, an unselfish pa
triotism, which shall reflect the spiri,
of a man who having set his hand
to the execution of a necessary task
would rather lose that hand than
draw it back. This Is the spirit oi
our President, of our allies-it il
surely our own.

LOWER PRICES FOR
FLOUR SUBSTITUTES
is NOW DEMANDED

There are strong indications that
the price of corn meal and other sub
Stttutes for wheat flour will be reduced
within the next few weeks The Food
Administration at Washington has
sent out warning to all millers OF
substitute grains and to wholesale and
retail dealers in these products, call
ing their attention to the fact that at
the present prices paid for corn and
pats, cornmeal and oatmeal should be
selling at least 20 per cent below the
price Of wheat flour, and that corn
and barley flour should be selling at
least ten per cent below wheat flour.
The high levels ruling in grains as
a result of car shortages and stormy
weather last winter have now fallen
materially with greater freedom Of
transportation and the stocks accumu
lated by manufacturers and traders at
the prices ruling then should have
been generally liquidated by this time,
It is held Investigations will be made
Ia all cases where the dealer is be-
heved to be charging more than a fair
profit on substitutes,

DRINK MORE MILK, EAT MORE
CHEESE, ADVICE TO ARl-
IONA FOLK
DAIRY INDUSTRY AT STAKE
TABOO PLACED ON SOFT DRINK
AND sHERBET; USE OF SUGAR
CURTAILED

Eat more ice cream, drink more
milk, eat more cheese. Eat less candy
drink less soft drinks and eat less
shsrbet These suggestions constitute
the latest hot weather advice to the
residents of Arizona from the fedora
food administrator for this state.
There Ia a double reason for the sug
gestion The dairy industry of the
state must be preserved at all costs
and the consumption of sugar must be
materially decreased.
All makers of ice cream, soda water
and fountain syrups are now required
to procure sugar certificates. Reali2
ing that ice cream is a food rather
than a luxury, especially in the sum
mer months in Arizona the Food Ad
ministration is granting full allow
ance of sugar for this purpose. For
all other manufacturing. purposes the
supply is being materially decreased
and new enterprises are being discour-
aged
There is real shortage Of sugar in
Arizona, and while it is desirous to
give the housewife all the sugar neces
sary for home canning purposes the
public Is urged to cut down on the use
of soda water and confectionery untii
the supply is more abundant.
On the other hand the Food Admin
istration advocates the fuller use OF
milk and other dairy products as q
food, and especially in homes where
there are children. Most persons look
upon milk as a beverage, overlooking
the fact that it is in reality food. In
spite of the fact that it is seven
eighths water, the other eighth made
up of solids contains all the necessary
elements of food. 1t has sugar and
fats, which provide energy for the
body, mineral salts, which keep the
body in good condition and protein,
which is so essential in building UP
the tissues.

THRIFT ND
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 10
being taught the lesson Of spending
it's money wisely The nation is being
shown the importance Of putting every
cent where 1t will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift 80 hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer Ia
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 ts able to raise.
The farmer, as q rule, can f1nd 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 fol-
in the neighbortng town. But In the
last few years most Of the thrifty
farmers have been SO we'll paid for
their produce that they are now "on
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 q greedy, unscrupulous. soul
less power intent on world conquest
and every dollar thus advanced ssrvel
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day Of universal and
enduring peace.

PHOENIX RETAILERS
BOOST RATION PLAN
WITH FLOUR CARDS

- Retail grocers of Phoenix and all
other towns in the Salt River valley
are trying out an interesting expert
ment in the matter of establishing vol
UNFAIRLY ration card system for the
purpose of making effective the six,
p0und-per-person-pe allowance
of wheat, which is urged by the Food
Administration
Thus far the system has proven a
success, and there is every reason to
believe that it will work out effective
ly on a permanent basis until such
time as it is no longer necessary to
save wheat
Advantages claimed for this system
are that 1t places all consumers on an
equal basis, that 1t effects a material
rather than a theoretical saving, and
that it simplifies the work Of the deal
or in keeping track of sales of flour
and bread. The consumer is permitted
to buy his flour and other wheat prod
ucts at the grocery and his bread of a
baker II he desires. He can change
from one dealer to another at any
time, though he is permitted to buy OF
only one dealer at time. Central
clearing houses are established and d
secretary placed in charge to issue
cards and keep check on the cards,
duplicate copies of which are forward,
ed to him each day.
The merchants of Globe and Miami
have adopted the system and those OF
Cochise county are planning to do 80,
as soon as the cards can be supplied.
Through voluntary adoption by deal
ers' associations, it is believed that the
system will be made statewide
