BAKERS WANT TO MAKEPOUNDAND
 HALF LOAF ON[Y.
Food Administration Orders
 Them To Continue Baking Pound Loaves of Bread
 UntilRequestInvestigated

Nine bakers of Phoenix, Mesa and istration that, beginning Tuesday. they will make pound and a half loaves of bread instead of the standard pound loaf, and that the retail price per loaf will remain proportionately the same, b cents, instead of 10. Whether this arrangement will be satisfactory to the food administration or not is a problem, and the problem is prt straight up to the people for solution.-
 In small families, where small amounts of bread are used, accord ing to the food administration officials there is certain to be a more poten- tial waste of bread when purchased in larger loaves than in smaller.
 Order Pound Loaves Made
 For this reason, and to give the families of this district chance to make their opinions known. the bakers will be required to continue the manu- fracture of the pound loaf, until .defin- ite facts have been ascertained re- garding the more economical loaf.
 In their communication to the food administration. the bakers state that the change is made ito save time and labor" While the motive of the bakers is appreciated by the food of ficials. the general plan is still ques tionable one. Frank opinions from bread users, addressed to the food ad- ministration, Central School building, are being requested.

NO OCCASION ID SELL WHEAT BELOW
 GOVERNMENT PRICE

There is no occasion for Arizona farmers to sell their wheat for less than the government price, was the assurance given today by Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for this state. Recent reports from wheat growing sections, he said, show that some farmers were becoming panicky, and were disposing of their grain at prices lower than the government has guaranteed.
 This feeling seems to be based on the fact that grain movements of late have been very slow. This is explained in wire sfrom Herbert Hoover re- food administration in which he states:
 The enlarged demands by Gen.
 eral Pershing for material, result
 ing from the progress of our mili-
 tary operations on the western
 front has necessitated the tempo
 rary diversion of grain ships to
 this service. This temporarily
 curtails wheat movements from
 seaboard and terminal elevators
 and thus checks the movement.
 There is no occasion for farmers
 becoming panicky and if holders

 wheat will all be moved and the
 full price secured by every grower.
 The government has guaranteed Ari- zona farmers a minimum of g a bushel for wheat at farmers shipping points. Farmers desiring to sell their wheat direct to the government should com- municate with representatives of the grain corporation of the food admin istration.
 Farmers residing east of Casa Grande on the Southern Pacific and in territory tributary thereto and those residing in territory tributary to the Santa Fe throughout northern Arizona should communicate with E. F. New ing, care Grain Corporation, Food Ad- ministration, Galveston, Texas.
 Farmers living west of Casa Grande and in territory tributary thereto, in- cluding the Salt River valley should write to the grain corporation head quarters of the food administration at Los Angeles.

On the wing of necessity the Ger mans are flying eastward from their old battle positions from Douai to La Fere. and northward from La Fere to the Mouse river. Their flight is toward some haven of safety from the talons of the allied hawks which everywhere are menacing them.
 Meanwhile there have been sent broadcast further reports that Austria Hungary and Turkey, seeing that the trend of events spells ultimate defeat. have informed Germany that they will accept President Wilson's peace terms. Notwithstanding the advantages that are being achieved over the common enemy on the battle fronts and the peace feelers in the air, President Will son, Secretary of State Lansing, Sec retary of the Treasury McAdoo and, in fact, all the high officials of the gov ernment are warning the American citi- zenry that the situation is critical and that every one should rally to the SUD- port of the fourth Liberty loan.
 Allies Advancing All Along
 All along the battle front the allied troops are advancing. From the south

The famous Chemin des Danes the ridge which the Germans had be- lieved to be an insurmountable barrier to an advance northward from Sois- sons, is being evacuated, while in Champagne and along the Mouse river farther eastward, the French and American troops are pushing further forward, northward, their lines in the great converging movement which is fast driving the enemy from Belgium and the greater portion of invaded France toward his own borders
 Douai is now completely outflanked by the latest operations of the British while between Cambrai and St. Quen tin, the British and Americans are still chasing the enemy. To the south oi St. Quentin the French, over a wide front, have crossed the Disc river and in conjunction with the retirement ol the enemy from the Chemin des Danes are forcing the Germans to give up the great Gobain forest, the bastion at the bend of the line where it turns east. ward, and also the stronghold of Laon | the keystone of the entire southern German line.

The campaign in Phoenix to se- cure motor drivers and mechanics to transport the allied armies to- ward Berlin is to be a quick and intense one.
 Maintenance of this recruiting office in Phoenix and the advertis- ing which necessarily must accom- pany it creates certain expenses that must be defrayed.
 At a meeting yesterday at the chamber of commerce of the men working with R. A. Kirk and Lieu tenant w. C. Conger plans for this rapid campaign were made and committee was appointed to raise this necessary expense money from the business men of Phoenix.
 Establishment of a recruiting of- flee in Phoenix saves these men the trouble and expense of going to Fl Paso to enlist, and it was stated at the meeting yesterday that if the business men in supporting the recruiting office here can save the men that expense, they were only doing their part.

GREAT PROSPERITY
 HITS PHILIPPINES
AgriCulturaistS Of New InSuIar
 Possessions Benefit by War

Manila, January 2S Correspond ence of the Associated Press)-The Philippine Islands have enjoyed dur ing the past tN eIve months the great est prosperity in their history War conditions, prices and demands are years, the balance of trade in favor of the islands has been S50.o00,o 900. So per cent Of which is to be ac- counted for in the unprecedented prosperity of 1917.
 internal trade has leaped to un- heard of proportions. There is more money in every part of the Philip pines today than ever before. More business Is being done and the cur r@ncy reflects this condition. Despite constant accretions to the currency, through importatiors from Tinted States hints, the PhilippinA Bank the goVcrnmcnt financial institution, has had to issue paper ten twenty and fifty centa1o bills. and one peso notes.
 Internal revenue taxes. collected on
 
 went up nearly 33 Is per cent. reach ing the highest figure in history.
 With the exception of sugar. all de- partmonts of insular trade profited By the prosperity of the country. Freight rates Quintupled and sex tupled, for sugar. and the Philippine producers often faced a loss on their sales in the United States
 When the price of sugar in the United States was fixed by the food control board. 1t was SO regulated that under exiStins trans-Pa cific rates profitable transactions in Phil 1pp1ne sugar were no longer possible. Samuel Ferguson, president of tho government hank made a special trip to Washington in the interests of the sugar men and got a pledge of addi- tional ships for the Philippines. Whether this pledge included provi- sion for lower freight rates is not known here. Unless the new ships bring a substantial reduction in ex- isting freight rates, it is believed they will not help out the sugar industry.
 Hemp, with all the world demand ing it for ships and war vessels played a bis role in the prosperity of the islands. During 1917 it reached lScoIu pllttS ttIld pdlQ Us pTC1uCciS handsomely. Hundreds of owners of plantations have become rich in the past two years. Scores of Americans who years ago picked out Mndanac, the land Of the untamed M orc. as ideally suited to hemp, and then struggled along for years on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly found their optimism justified and their years of toll and hardship repaid by two years of undreamed of prosperity.
 Likewise the cOCOanut planters have heen carried along on the crest of the wave of success. During the early part of the year, prices rose steadily as American manufa cturcrs 1 demanded the product at any cost. 1 But freights also rose This led many 1 business men to figure that if it were 1 possible to sell the raw copra--the 1 dried meat of the cocoanut--at a l

liSh in advance ample dumps Of an- munition for several days fighting for the field and position guns as we'll as for the trench mortars, since it must be" expected that the allies will. in case the opera ton should be on a. big scale, employ poison gase in large quantities and at the same time put up a barrage fire between the Ger man front lines and their communi cations with the rear
 The essential reserve of ammuni- tion for the trench mortars is laid down at 250 proiectiles for each light mortar; 50 propectiles for each trench m ortar of middling caliber and 40 propectiles for each heavy mortar. The mortar supplements should be surrounded by barbed wire entangle- ments and the gunners should be provided with a plentiful supply of hand -grenades for use in case the all lied troops should storm the posi- tions.
 As to the field and position artiI- ler1. each battery should have on hand sufficient ordinary ammunition 10 last three days and half and also have ready for use a supply of pois- on-eas shells.
 Great stress is laid on the value Of maintaining com cations between the infantry engaged and the staff in tho rear. Each regiment is ordered to appoint an officer responsible for this service, whose duty shall be to reconnoiter the line occupied by his regiment and send frequent reports as to the situation even when no change has occurred
 The docun ent recalls that tho French airplane5 accompanying the a ssaulting infantry during the last battles around Verdun caused great disturbance to the Germans. It as serts that the effective results oh- tained by these aviators were very limited, but that the morale Of tho German troops was considerably up set by them. It recommends the 1 placing of special ma cnine-gu 1 groups in the rear of the front lines 1 to deal with such attacks by enemy ! airplanes
