Beefless day Abolished

Phoenix, Jan. 17-Veal, beef,
lamb and mutton. From now until
March IS these meats may be Serv-
ed with every meal on every day
whether 1neatless' or otherwise.
Under the new ruling Of the
federal food administration the
term meatless" has been made to
mean "porkless' for Arizonans
and until March 13.
All this is explained in a tele-
gram received by Timothy A Rior-
dan, federal food administrator for
Arizona from Herbert Hoover
which reads as follows:
"Washington-In view of animal
situation in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, California, Nevada and
Arizona due principally to trans
portation as discussed in detail at
a recent conference of admln1stra-
tors here we have reached the de-
cision that states mentioned may
remove restrictions until March
13 on eating of beef. mutton, lamb
and veal on meatless days and with
meatless meals,
The new conservation program
designates pork1ess Tuesday and
Saturday togather with one pork
less meal each day. In other words
beef, mutton, lamb, and veal will
be permitted, but no pork, bacon,
ham or lard should be eaten on
porkless days or with porkless
meals in the states mentioned
which we wish adhered to closely.
Hoover
The official explanation of this
action is that both cattle and sheep
raisers were faced with the situa-
ton of general drought conditions
on the one hand and the lack of
transportation facilities on the 9th
er. The stock had to be marketed
at once or perish and this was the
situation as presented by stock
men at the recent conference. By
lifting the ban on the four meats
in question local demand i'll the
western states affected is thereby
created, and thus the situation
which was fast becoming critical is
to be remedied, it is hoped.

PARK SERVICES
EVERY SUNDAY

There is a principle that seems to
run through human life that men will
fight and make sacrifice in the face of
an enemy, like the Huns, which they
can See--but are unwilling to sacrifice
anything when the foe is spiritual and
invisible. Ask the man who makes his
money in unethical fashion, and there
by invites the spread of strange doc
trines subversive of our economic sys-
tem-suCh as have overspread Russia
with such baleful effect-ask him to
sacrifice, to give up his practices for the
good of America and what will he tell
you? Ask the libertine, because the
family is the principal foundation of
democracy, to give up his personal lib
erty' and the qualification of his loose
desires for the sake of democracy, and
what will he say? Ask the kind of
citizen who always acts as an opponent
of public progress, who is without COM
munity spirit, to give up his opposition,
to get behind the wagon and push, be-
cause such as he serve to put demo-
craCy in an unenviable light when COM
pared with an enlightened despotism,
and what will he say? | suspect that
the answers to all these appeals would
well illustrate the truth that men will
sacrifice themselves and fight against
an enemy that they can see, but are
loathe to inconvenience themselves ev-
en-when the enemy is spiritual and
invisible.
"The task of religion may therefore
be simply stated-to make men realize
the reality of enemies that are spirit
ual and invisible. Such enemies once
destroyed the democracy of ancient
Rome. Such enemies are even now at
work to destroy such democracy as we
possess 1t is idle to believe that demo-
cracy will be safe after the Teuton auto
cracy has been defeated. Eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty, and demo-
cracy, will never be secure until Relig-
ion has done its task Given a nation
whose citizenship is strong in integrity
of their moral character-then only
may we say of democracy that it is
safe

While DR.. Thomas is Stamping the
state in behalf of Old MIDI, we should
be sure we are not letting ourselves be
indifferent at home. There is no doubt
that everybody's heart is with Presi-
dent Thomas in his almost desperate
struggle to get up to that 100000 mark
before July /, but the pledges are com
ing in too slowly as yet to warrant
confidence that the goal will be reached
in time. There are only 10 working
days left to get $4,000.
1t is fortunate that Mrs. Ilsley is
moving in the same manner OF benevo-
lence which so endeared her husband to
this community Her offer to contri-
butte the last 5000 toward the college
fund gives it a big lift at a critical
hour. There would be no fear that the
balance of $4,000 could be raised if the
time limit and all OF the wealthy sour
ces were not so well-nigh exhausted.
The time has come when it seems as
if the fund could be completed only by
a large number of small contributions
and it takes a really large number of
them to mount up to 500 ,000
1t should be realized, as DR.. Thomas
said in an appeal at Vergennes, that
the maintenance of Old MIDI as
flourishing institution is of real inn
portance to us, to the county, to the
state and even to the nation.
"The highest officers of army and
navy say Keep the Colleges open" says
DR.. Thomas in his appeal. "The army
and navy need their product. States
men and publicists are unanimous in
urging that all educational work be
maintained From Great Britain comes
the warning, based on their mistake in
the early years of the war Do not stop
the flow of the stream of officer mater
ial from your colleges"
