The question in the minds of the
food conservation officials is how far
America dare risk it's chances of win,
ming the war on an entirely voluntary
system. The pinch of war is to be
felt more and more as we increase
our exports to the allies during the
next few months.
The measure of compliance devel'
oped during the next fe wweeks will
have great weight in determining the
necessity for further extension of
powers to the food administrator.
Meantime, many House leaders re-
gard the new legislation as inevita'

LITTLE HOPE Of
An ADJOURNMENT
CONGRESS MADE SLOW PROGRESS
AND ONLY A FEW BIG MATTERS
HAVE BEEN ACTED UPON.

WASHINGTON, February 7-Presi
dent Wilson and capitol leaders would
have congress speed UP the legisla-
tive program and get away from
Washington early in the summer. The
Senate has made very little progress:
with legislation this session, which
began two months ago. Most Of its
time has been taken upwith investiga,
tions The House has done better;
il has passed four of the thirteen
big appropriation measures.
The Senate has passed few bills
OF minor Importance, but has not con-
sidered any of the larger measures.
Inquiries into the war department,
the sugar and coal shortage, the ship
ping board, the railroad situation, and
the ALLEGED disloyal utterances of Sena-
tor La Toilette at st. Paul are under
way. Because of these Investigations,
conducted by the Senate committees,
the Senate has adjourned three days
at time to give senators opportunity
t. attend the hearings of their COM
mittees.
Some of the Senate leaders are inn
patient with the Investigations and
would turn now to legislation, so as
to complete the work here and get
back to their states for the fall cam
paign.
Efforts at speeding up will be made
this week. Several of the investiga-
tions will close. The inquiry into
the cause of the shortage Of sugar
and coal is practically over and a
partial report may be made in a day
or two. The railroad inquiry is over.
The La Toilette investigation will be
resumed within a few days and con-
tinued to a finish.
To date four appropriation bills
have been passed. They are:
Postojce appropriation bill, Dec.
Ia
Urgent deficiency bill, Dec. IA.
Indian appropriation bill. Jan. %.
Agriculture appropriation bill, Fem.
The House has disposed of several
other bills and resolutions. Among
them are the amendments to the con-
stitution submitting to the states pro-
hibition and woman suffrage, voted
Dec II and Jan. 10, respectively. An
amendment to the fderal farm loan
act was voted Jan. 4. The "Garabed'
resolution offering free energy device
to the service of the government was
adopted Jan. IS.
The House, however, has hardly
got a running start on its legislative
programme. There remain eight big
appropriation bills, to which will be
added various deficiency bills. They
are. Sundry Civil, Diplomatic and
Consular next to be taken up in the
House,, Naval, Army, Military Acad'
ehy, Notifications, District of Co
.lumbia and River and Harbors.
Practically every measure on the
presidents programme designated as
war legislation is yet to be consider
These includ. sbl oeae
ed. These include:
At least two food bills, daylight saw
ing bill, railroad bill, financing bill,
bond bill, revenue bill and bill to re-
move statutory obstacles to the BUSH
ness organization of the departments.
In addition to these are numerous
smaller measures pending before the
Committees on Merchant Marine and
committees on Merchant marine and
fisheries, military affairs, foreign af-
fairs and post Office and post roads.

SUFFER A CANDIDATE

Hon. Fred Sutter, of COchise county, is announced as a candidate for governor. Mir. Sutter of the men who denounced the L W. W. as dislOyal and allied himself with the anti-Hunt forces in the recent controversy over the indictment of about 26 COchise county men for the deportation of nearly 1900 men from the Bisbee district about year ago. The po- sition of Sutter is to be commended, but believe that man who will conciliate the warning elements of the party would be the proper one. By the con ciliation of the different party elements do not wish it understood that any consideration be given the l. w. w. that may have aligned itself with the Democratic party for the benefits that might to it, but the men who honestly differ with Mir. Sut- ter in the drastic handling of the depOrted men. We ourself, opposed the deportation of from camp or town, believing that better way might be found to handle the situation, although must say that it might not be as effective Sutter is all right and would make a good governor and one that the whole people could implicitly depend upon to do the right thing under any circumstance.

vETOEs THE "vAGABOND" BILL

That Governor Hunt has queer conception of the rights of mankind is shown by his veto of the bill known as the "vagabond Bill" This bill was design ed to compel all idle men to seek employment The governor states that above 45 years of age are not wanted in the mines and it would be an injustice to require men of advanced age to work as others of lesser age are required, and as farming a new in- dustry in the state and there is wage limita- tons nor working conditions in farming it would not be right to nsiss that men barred from mining be compelled to work farms. Now when order goes out from the National capital that all men should find some useful employment why should governor of state step in and interpose his personal objection to the in which should seek and obtain that employment? Laws do not contemplate impossibilities does the order of the depart ment contemplate the employment of men work that they are incapable of When all men in draft age are required to find some employment that is useful to the government and themselves there is reason why those above that age may not be use fully employed. The protection of men in idleness should not be one of the prerogaves of the governor of this state.

ARMY BARRACKS
 FOR NURSERIES
One of Them Houses More Than 800 Children
 Under Ten.

Within sound of the deep throated guns of the French firing line, guns that are ceaselessly telling the Ger mans thou shalt not pass" live hum dreds of happy, healthy children.
 At the beginning of the war the buildings in which these kiddies now live ana play and study were barracks for French boys training to be sol diers. Today these boys-those who are left of them-are veterans. These barracks are good modern buildings, and they are set amid beautiful scen- cry. There are several of these groups of barracks scattered throughout France, and all of them have been turned into homes for the nations homeless children.
 At one of the barrack-nurseries there are more than 800 :hildren. Some are babies of a few days old, and the oldest is not over ten years. Most of these children are orphans. Some few of them have mothers who are working in fields and factories to help France win the war.
 And these little folks are receiving the first intelligent care of their lives. Skilled American doctors are in charge of the kitchens, and expert enced teachers are instructing those old enough to attend the barrack- school. The older girls and boys are being taught useful trades as well as the usual classroom lessons, and with it all these children are learning the joy in healthy play.
 France laid upon us a sacred service in this care of it's children. And how noble has been the response of our American Red Cross

WILL SEND INFORMATION
 ID ALL RELATIVES

The American Army association has just been organized to keep the wom- en of the United States in touch with their husbands, sons, and brothers at the front. It has been launched under the auspices of the National War Work council of the Y. M. c. A. to keep war from being unnecessarily tragic for millions of women in Amer ica. It operates by getting into touch with the fighting man and his nearest relatives at home, and by helping them to keep in touch with each other. When a man goes overseas to fight, a post card goes out to the address he has given as that of his nearest rela- tive, letting her know that the Ameri- can Army association stands ready to do whatever it can for her.
 One of the primary works of the as- sociation is to answer the questions that are on every woman's tongue in war time, such as, "Was the John Smith reported wounded today my son?" "How shall I address letters to my husband in France, so as to be sure that they reach him" "Why have I not heard from my brother for two months?" It helps keep the cas- ualty lists from inflicting unnecessary

ARIzONA's QUOTA Ss,OOO,OOO FOR NEXT
 LIBERTY LOAN

H. J. McClung, state chairman of the Fourth Lib erty Loan has just been advised that the quota for Arizona will be SS,OOOOOO. While this is not large amount the fact is that Arizona has done much for all work, having gone over the top in every loan and Red Cross drive, and is close to the limit n the matter of Thrift Stamps. The state has given wonderful service and every man, woman and child in it feel proud of the Copper State. And if you please look at the work of the mining camps which have done more than any of the other sections of the state in carrying the work to high record.
 The newspapers may be depended upon to do their fu duty in giving publicity to all matters appertan- ing to the loan, and Mohave county may be depended on to get the best results possible, it has bunch of men on the committees who really the great est hustlers in the state.

IS TEDDY A SLACKER?

Many of the newspapers of the country look upon Teddy Roosevelt as stacker, and the fact that he has put in all his time since the declaration of in railing against the administration and all forms of war work would lead unbiased person to believe that he has worked himself into the Hearst class. Among the big of the country ex-President Roosevelt is the only who has laid down the job, and that he has laid down is obvious. Lodge, Taft Hughes, Root and others of the rank and file of the Republican party have shown their American ism above party by backing the administration with their time and money while Roosevelt has been doing everything possible to impede their efforts We feel that any man, public private, who will his ef forts to set at naught the work of the war boards president and congress, is not good citizen and belongs in the undesirable class"

WILL PROSECUTE COWARDS

The department of justice has decided to take ac- ton against men who have escaped into other coun- tries to avoid the draft and those who have used
 cry effort to escape the provision of the law which would nduct them into the service. All men who have failed in their duty to the government in this time of need may find themselves under indictment and upon apprehension will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law young fellow who will evade the draft law has really good red blood in him, and he deserves to be punished. We cannot believe that these young fellows towards, because few of us really know how brave might be if put to the test but when the call comes should be just
 as ready as we will be when Gabriel blows his horn.

 The military authorities have said that worried soldier is a poor soI- dier, and it is the purpose of the Am erican Army association to make sure that no lost letter from home will re- suit in lost fight for some man in France.
 The organization has it's headquar- ters on the twelfth floor of BAT Madi- son avenue, New York City, in the new building where the National War Work council of the Y. M. c. A. is To- cated. Although the American Army association has been organized only a few weeks, an average of between 40 and 50 relatives visit it daily, with queries about their sons, and between 65 and 100 letters come to it every day from mothers, wives and sisters in ev- cry part of the United States. The headquarters is in charge of three army officers wives whose husbands are in France, Mrs. Thomas H. Rees, Mrs. Walter B. McCaskey, and Mrs. Charles c. Minnia, who are donating their services to this work.

Out of No Man s Land
 By HARRY IRVING GREENE

Father:
 This wonderful letter that am writ ing you-a miracle letter. I was hurt, badly. but am going to get well. It happened like this-yOu know I am not allowed to name place or date.
 No Mans Land We were raiding 1t by night, three of us-scouting, prowling. It was as dark as the dun geons of inferno, but often they sent up signal shells-rOseate, bursting things that bathed all that evil land fin a blood-red light. When their glare flared over us we had to stand as we were caught, hand or foot upraised- moveless objects in the red glow until the light snuffed out and all was dark once more.
 We reached the German entangle- ments and began cutting them with our oiled clippers. We were careful, very careful, but we were not careful enough. They heard us. Over came two bombs.
 The three of us went down in a row. Jack and Tom never knew what hit them. I was hurt too badly to be able  to get up.
 I lay there-all night-groaning- calling for help. Twenty feet away could hear the bOches in their trench laughing at me, cursing me.
 Morning. My last. I could endure 1t no more. was dying-bleeding. said my last prayer.
 And fhen
 Since the dawn of time l do not be- Iieve the world has seen a more glori- Ous thing. From the hill tops our ar tillery laid down a box barrage fire and under it, heads raised like em- perors and shoulders squared, came six men, stretcher bearers. As though they had been on parade they came forth in broad daylight into the very teeth of the enemy and picked up what was left of Jack, Tom and me.
 AS though we had been their own brothers they bore us back, swiftly, gently. Then do you know what those Huns did?
 Opened fire on us-the dead, the bearers of the dead and man who lay ouivering at the threshold of death.
 Two of the six bearers went down. The other four brought them back along with what was left of Jack, Tom and me.
 And when 1 awOke in the hospital after the operation, deathly sick but back from the nightmare-land and with the sunlight upon me, whom do you think saw bending over me, the red cross upon her sleeve, babbling, laughing, crying, kissing me?
 JANET
 And I had never known that she had come Overl Had never got her letter.
 And we are here together and I am going to get well. An hour ago she held out her hand, and upon one finger was still the little ring gave her be- fore I left. am going to have stone set in it-you know what that means. Though somewhat disfgured am still in the ring.
 And so is Jane. JIM

munity. The Farm Bureau Is await

November Hog Prices.
Communications just received from
Washington give the results of re-
cent conference between As packers
the Food Administration and the farm
er's representatives. This meeting
was called in order to see what could
be done in stopping the landslide in
prices below the government mini
mum.
Chicago minimum average for No
vember will be $3.50 per hundred
pounds and average Of packers droves,
excluding "throwouts." That no hogs
of any kind shall be bought, except
"throwouts at less than $16.5O per
hundred pounds. "Throwouts" are de-
fined as follows, pigs under 100 lbs.
stays, boars, thin sows and skip.
The cause assigned to the landslide
of pork prices during October is given
as follows. That current peace talk
was alarming holders of corn to the
fact that Argentine has millions OF
bushels which might be diverted
abroad if peace were declared. The
hog producers, it is claimed, also be-
came panicy with the result that the
hog market was crowded with ~ per
cent more hogs than during the same
period of time last year. Also that the
"flu" epidemic reduced the labor at
packing plants nearly rs per cent. AS
a result the market was drug.
An order has been placed with the
packers to supply 170,00O,O00 lbs. of
pork products to the government for
export. This alone ought to insure a
steady price throughout November.
However, the packers are asking the
producers not to rush the market as
occurred last month.
Commission men and packers are
confident that a price near $500 will
result should conditions remain favor
able. From past experience the Coun-
ty Agent would advise the hog feeder
to analize the daily market quotations
pretty close.
There are two limitations on feed
ing. One ends when the hos fails to
put on rapid and economical gains
from high priced feed, such as corn
and mill feeds. This period usually
begins sometime after the hog weighs
about $50 lbs. The other is governed
by the weight Of hog most desired by
the packers. Recent quotations on the
Chicago market indicate that this
weight between 225 and ESQ pounds.
Prices paid for such hogs from Octob-
err 22nd to 18th ranged from $15.14 to
$1S.25 or an average Of 1859 per hun
dred pounds. The price paid for hogs
weighing from 225 to 400 pounds rang
ed from s14.S2 to s17.S7 or an average
of 1854 for the same period Of time.
The feeding game has become a
science under modern conditions. A
few years ago when corn sold from %
to soc per bushel 1t brought greater
return per acre when fed to hogs even
tho they we're fed for two years. The
successful feeder now tries to get the
frame on cheap roughage and feed con-
centrates the shortest period of time
to make a good marketable hog.
