Know Victory Is Certain.

The Tommies and Poilus are fighting
calamity and dying willingly. because
they know their sacrifice will not be in
vain since the United States will insure
victory little later.
Interesting comments by German
civilians have been furnished from an
enemy mail bag captured by tho British
on section of the Flanders front. AL
most without exception references are
made in letters to the stoppage Of leave
and the parcel post from the front. The
tone Is resigned rather than recalcitrant.
One letter from Berlin dated April rs
said:
Peace does not seem to be coming
along as we fondly hoped. All this in
the west Is too wicked for nothing.
Four years Of 1t now and no sign of
the end. We hope every day 1t will
come to q decision. and that the Brit
ish will be driven to the North sea,
but they stand firm
We have such q scarcity Of shoes In
Ettlingen 1t is impossible to get them.
If there are any in Belgium please send
me a pair" says letter dated in Eft
Are you not coming home on leave
soon? How much longer Is 1t going to
last?" reads third letter.
A note from Rhumsfringe. dated April
%, says:
"The mastering of the 1920 class took
place here last Friday. Most of them
were accepted"

HOpi Oil Company
 Is Incorporated

Elsewhere in the News is published the articles of in. corporation of the Hopi Oi Company. This is the new est corporation to be form, ed for the purpose of drill ing for oil in the Holbrook field and, while it's articles have just been filed with the State Corporation Com mission, it has already com menced operations. A stan dard drilling rig has been secured and the various other details have been ar ranged for commencing work at once.
 Senator s. G. Mayfeld of Denmark, s. C., is president of the company; L. M. Ray holds is vice-president, and Thos. McCauley is secretary and treasurer. These gen. tlemen will constitute the board of directors until their successors are elected at the annual meeting of stock holders next February.
 The organization of this company is the elimination of a visit made to Holbrook last November by Thos. Me Cauley, secretary and treas urer of the corporation. At that time Mr. McCauley was engaged in the newspaper business in Chloride, and l his visit to Holbrook was made for the purpose of in- vestigating reports that had him about oil pros poets in the Holbrook dis trict. So good did the situ- ation look to MT. McCauley that he closed out his news paper business and began a campaign to interest others in the field.
 MT. McCauley's efforts bore fruit and as a result Senator Mayfield was in 1uced to come to Holbrook. The Senator is a man of wealth, and he has not only invested thousands of dollars )f his own money in prelim- nary development work, ,ut he is in a position to in- luce other men of capital to oin him in pushing his en- to a successful close. MT. Reynolds, vice presi- ' lent of the company is pres | dent of the Holbrook State r Bank and is the largest indi- l. idual stockholder in that c He is a conserv- | tive business man and his v Onnection with the com r any adds strength to it. il

have had to deal with pro-
 blems that are encountered
 by all pioneers and their
 calculations frequently have
 been upset. due to condi-
 tions over which they had
 no control. It is a fact that several drills would now be
 dropping were it not for de-
 lays caused by floods, war conditions and a multitude of minor aggravations that could not have been foretold.
 The Adamana Land and Oil Company has been com batting the elements for weeks in it's heroic endeavor to bring it's heavy drilling machinery from the Seven Lakes field to the railroad. Floods have wiped out the roads, swept away bridges, even endangered the lives of it's employees. All this bears a scent of the roman tic to some, but not the men who have fighting and planning to do.
 The Apache Oil Company was delayed for days before it could secure teams and equipment strong enough to haul it's heavy machinery to the well site. The Hopi~ Oil Company Senator Mayfield's Company has been detained for weeks in getting its machinery out of the Tonto Basin to the railroad at Globe. Trifing events con- tributed to prevent speedy work and the drilling machinery did not arrive in HoIbrook until We'd nesday last when it should have been here at least three weeks That these companies lose no time once they have crowded into their pathway is evidenced by the Mayfeld com Oany which had it's machinery promptly moved to the Apache | 'ailroad at this terminal, whence t was sent out along the line his morning to a convenient | point and where it is now being and hauled to the site Ielected by Geologist Majors on Sec. 21-15-19.

 The Holbrook Oil Comany has 'een negotiating with California lrillIng contractors for weeks. This is a pioneer field and con- ractors take no chances. Neith- r could the Holbrook Oil Com- ,any agree to pay confiscatory prices. Both sides have now ettled down to a basis where it ' 5 believed they can agree and { ,efore another issue of the News ve hope to have definite infor- nation that the contract has ,een signed and that drilling I oon will be under way.

Q0f OI ArlZOQd we nave CIl6
 prospective HolbroOk Field, where the small town of
 Holbrook bids fair to emul-
 ate the history of Tulsa. In
 the western section the dev-
 elopment of the Chino Val
 ley will be of inestimable
 benefit to Prescott.
 The mining industry of
 Arizona will be greatly bene-
 fited when the state is oil
 producing and nearness of
 supply, short haul and re-
 duction in price will stimuli
 ate this industry to that eX-
 tent. Arizona needs oil and
 the United States Govern
 ment needs oil. As for the
 possibilities we have but to remember that as late as
 1916 the Government, on advice of it's geologists,
 withdrew 23O,OOO of Arizona land as having favorable prospects for oil and it is a well known fact that one third of the area of this great state is of oil bearing formation.
 The operators and stock holders who make oil pro- duction possible will, of course reap the most imme- diate and lasting benefits and it is interesting to note that among the most enthu- siastic believers in the oil possibilities of Arizona are numbered the most success full and progressive men. A man must needs be pro- gressive in his inclinations to support an unproven field, and to be successful, he must speculate. All sue cessful men speculate. The next in order to receive the benefits to be obtained from a new field are the wide awake business men of the immediate community, and it is not unusual that the most progressive of these are eventually rated in seven figures. The pessimist, the sure thing man, the moss back, the penny pincher and the tax dodger have noplace in the new directory of in- dependent citizens.
 During the excitement at Beaumont a few years back 1t is of record that 5000 people arrived in that town n one day, brought from he far corners of the coun- ny by the chances for wealth opened jointly with low of oil from the adjecent field. An oil boom in Ari- ;ona would make previous { booms seem { ike a sparcely attended Sun { lay school picnic. Z

SOME MODES OF THE MINUTE
coIored veIveteen Coats, Turkish Tow
cling Blouses, Scarfs and Collar
cites of TuIIe Are Popular.

The Introduction of colored velveteen
coats as a substitute for the expensive
silk sweater lowers the price of one
open-air garment. Velveteen has sud-
denly leaped into fashion along with
the new hats. 1t is frequently chosen
in green, lapis lazuli blue, burnt orange
and black. Its use is not confined to
sport coats 1t is also worn by smart
women for sport skirts.
Fine turkish toweling has recently
been given a place. Ingenious women
have found out that the bathroom can
be robbed for the tennis court. Two
extra large towels with a g~ood-looking
colored border serve for a blouse with
elbow sleeves and a colored cotton
sash. This makes a more commend
able sports garment than wolfe or silk.
Scarfs and c~Ollarettes of tulle In ma
room, beige and all colors are now worn
with thin frocks. Purely decorative
are most of these airy %tri1es, which
are altogether transparent, forming
a sort of cloudy frame for the face.
Half ruche, half collar, with pictur-
esque floating ends, these bits of tulle
are more than worth their weight in
gold. Very effective is a cache-nez of
vivid red crepe heavily embroidered
with gold thread. 1t is worn with a
white frock.

Among the amazing quantity OF

They are fashioned after the man

panne velvet, t%an-colored jersey cloth,
Bordeaux satin, apple green velveteen,
leather-colored suede and midnight

Many of them have little belts across

has been taken up with the colonial

a symbolism of the ''spirit of '76."

EUROPE NEEDS FOOD
Food Administration Declares It Is an
Absolute Sin to Waste Food-Food
Has Become Sacred.

Europe is still sending an insistent
call for more food. We must send it
if the var is to go ON efficiently. If
we eat it all we cannot ship it, and
the food administration has already
tried to picture how much that wheat
is needed by people who will starve If
they do not get it, the food administra-
ton states.
"For the least bit of bAedlessness
on your part in food conservation some
one somewhere in the world must suf-
fer privation." an official statement
declares. 1.-The food administration
has mastered the problem of Ameri-
cas- food in such a way that every
ounce of food conserved and kept in
the currents of trade goes to an empty
stomach in Europe.
1T is an absolute sin TO waste food.
Food has become sacred.
flood means life 1t means some
body's life, and you cannot escape re-
sponsibility.
"There is no waste of food among
the allied nations"

Find Prehistoric Weapona.

While the wastage of the Yorkshire
cliffs is to be deplored, the result is
sometimes of advantage to the geolo-
gist and antiquary, says Nature. Re
Gently, in the vicinity of Scarborough,
a fall of the cliff revealed a board of
bronze weapons which consisted of
~battleaxes, spears, chisels, gouges,
portions of a sword, etc. Twelve of the
axes, of the socketed type, are perfect.
One shows the unusual feature of a
rivet hole in place of a loop for secure
hating another contains a portion of
the original wood shaft. Some of the
axes are in the rough state, as If just
turned out of the mold; others have
obviously been in use. The collection
evidently formed the stock in trade of
a metal worker of the Bronze age, at
least one thousand years before the
Christian era.

WAR BREAD COSTLY TO
BRITISH GOVERNMENT

Every year the British government
pays $500, 900 900 toward the cost of
that nations war bread. That is the
principal reason why English bread
prices are lower today to the consumer
than In America. Incidentally the
British bread is much poorer than the
American.
Great Britain has taken over all
home grown grain, bought at an arbi-
trary price, and all imported wheat
bought in markets of the world at pre-
vailing prices. This is turned over to
the mills by the government at a price
hat allows the ~adulterated war bread
loaf of four pounds to sell at Is cents.
The two pound loaf costs 8 cents, and
the one pound loaf sells for 5 cents.
In milling, however, Il per cent.
more flour is extracted from the wheat
than in America. And there is a COM
pulsory a~dulteration of 20 per cent.
and an allowable adulteration Of 80
per cent.
Compared with American bread, the
British product is only about 60 per
cent. pure at its best.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with 8 larger extrac-
ton, the four pound loaf sells for 16
cents.

Wheat-corn bread is more nutritious
than bread baked with wheat flour
alone. Thousands of American fam
lilies today are using this mixed flour
bread, and in so doing are enabling
America to provide more wheat flour
for the allies. Here's a tested recipe
for this bread: Take one and a half
cups of milk, water or a mixture of
the two; one-half cake compressed
yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt,
one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat if desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat flour.
Put one and a half cups of water,
the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat (if
used) into a double boiler and cook
twenty minutes. The water is suffi-
cient only to soften the meal a little.
Allow the meal to cool to about the
temperature of the room and add the
-four and yeast mixed with the rest
of the water. Knead thoroughly,
make into loaf, place in pan of stand
ard size, allow to rise until nearly
fills the pan and bake 10 or 80 min
utes. 1t is hardly practicable to use
q greater percentage of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread so
made differs very little from baked
mush. Less cornmeal can be used
and in sucn a case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
It is possible to make a yeast raised
corn bread without first cooking the
cornmeal. In this case not more than
one cupful Of meal should be used to
four cupfuls of flour. In other re-
spects the bread is mixed and baked
as in the above recipe.

AMERICAN SAVINGS WILL
MEASURE WHEAT EXPORTS

"We have already exported the
whole of the surplus of the 1917 wheat
harvest, over and above the normal de-
mands of III w population. 1t is
necessary, therefore, for the food adj
m~inistration TO restrict export of wheat
so as to retain in the United States
sufficient supplies to carry u W
people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports of wheat
from now forward are limited entirly
to volume of saving made by the Amer
lean people in their consumption OF
wheat and wheat products.
"We continued wheat shipments for
December as far as u situation al
lowed, but even with all the conserva-
ton made we were still unable to load
several hundred thousand tons of food
stuffs urgently required by the allied
nations during the month of December
alone"

BED LINEN OF LATE DESIGN
ScaIlops, Ribbon Bows, Three-lnitial
J M~onograms, and Other Decorative
Features Add to Cheerfuiness.

Counterpanes and bolster and pillow
shams are being developed in a vari-
ETY. of new materials and designs.
Some are made up in fine corded Cab
ardines, finished along the edges with
wide scallops. A big bow of satin rib
bon corresponding in color to the dec
orations of the rooms, is tackled in the
center of the shams and cover. In
other instances three initial mono
grams occupy this place of honor. In
the latter cases large eyelets are often
embroidered around the edges, and coll
ored ribbon run through.
Heavier overings are developed in
fine white pique in broad ribs. The
edges are turned back with wide hens
mitered at the orners. In the center
of both cover and shams large bas-
kets filled with different colored flow
ers are embroidered in heavy cross
stitch. Stamped in cross-stitch pat
terms representing Mother Goose char
acters and animals, these last are par
ticularly attractive for the youngsters
room.
The woman who is fond of crochet
ing and has plenty of leisure, may
make a very lovely linen set for her
bed out of strips of heavy white
linen sewed together with pieces of
flet insertion and edged with lace. If
more elaboration is desired, the linen
may be embroidered in a fine running
design.
