FOOD CONSERVATION CAMPAIGN
INCLUDES PRICE
REGULATION.

THE Conservation Week Campaign
brought out the need for saving food
and sharing it with the Allies and
the liberated nations" said John NJ.
Parker, Food Administrator for Lou
isiana. Conservation is absolutely
vital to the relief Of stricken Europe.
Famine is the mother OF revolt and
anarchy. II we allow hunger to take
its toll of life in Europe, the red
scourge Of revolution is bound to
spread and we will see a definite col
lapse OF the peace for which We
fought and bled. We entered the
conflict with the avowed purpose OF
establishing world peace and il We
allow this to be disrupted by upris-
ings and anarchy we will have de-
stroyed the very thing for which we
entered the fray and which is now in
sight.
In the coming year we must send
20 million tons OF food to Europe
practically the limit of loading Ca
pacity at our ports. The magnitude
of thia undertaking may better be UNI
war exports OF less than million
tons per year and the export last year
Of only 11,82O.000 tons.
Now that the Mediterranean Sea
routes are again open to commerce,
the European nations can draw upon
the wheat supplies in India and Aus
tralia. Consequently, this country
will not be called upon to make up
the entire European wheat deficit
and our export efforts must be cen
tered more largely upon fats, meat
and feeding stuffs.
Europe is extremely short Of feed
and fodder and a rapid deteriora-
ton of meat and dairy herds has
followed as a natural sequence. Our
exports must be largely increased in
order that the European herds may
be rehabilitated and also that the
immediate supplies Of milk may be
increased by proper feeding.
1.-THE reasons for these changes in
our food program will be fully ex-
planned at many Of the meetings this
week. Special emphasis will be laid
upon the serious results abroad
which would follow our failure to
meet the requests for combined con-
servation. Food is the only effective
weapon with which to combat fam
inc, it will be pointed out, and never
has there been SO great an oppor-
tunity for the American people to
show the true spirit of Democracy
which they may demonstrate by daily
service at the table,"
The main event Of the week was
the discontinuance Of the sugar GER
tificate system, dealers and consum-
ers being no longer limited as to the
quantity they can purchase or sell.
In disseminating the certificate sys-
tenn the Food Administration empha-
sizes the fact that this in no way
modifies requests made of the gen
eral public.
The main duty of the Food Ad-
ministration from now on will be to
urge the people to conserve the food
which will win the world, and to
protect the conserving consumers
against profiteering. The rules pro-
tecting the people must be and will
be strictly observed. For that rea-
son the retail profits have been more
definitely hxsd, and the plainly stat

 THE LINEN IN DIVORCE

Mrs. Fannie F. Franklin. who is suing her husband. Gerald L. Frank lin, for divorce, sends clipping from a newspaper at Galveston, Texas, of the climax to their marital woes when the hearing was on before the court. It will be of interest for many of this section to learn Of the fireworks set off when the wife was requested to answer a question by her attorney, as follows:
 Now, Mrs. Franklin. you say that your husband soaked your diamond ring. stole and sold the baby's brace ic,, and attempted to borrow Sl50 from your mother:" Before she ans wcrcd Franklin was on his feet. as also was his attorncya to object. The question was ruled out as im- material
 All right" said the attorney foi Mrs. Franklin. He continued inter rogating by asking his witness as follows: Mrs. Franklin, do you know that your husband gave your ring to a certain young lady stenographer in the law office of the attorney who is right here opposing your divorce and that he also knows of this transac- tion:"
 This started man and wife to a miXup, in which vile accusations fol- lowed :or the husband to face. The two attorneys also indulged in strong personalities. and to make the scene sensational the young and pretty stcnograp-cr attempted to leave the court room when Mrs. Franklin was on her heels. There followed fines for contempt. and the judge stated a recess would be taken to clear the court room. Further action would be heard with either MT or Mrs. Frank lin absent, as the other was testify ing.

LIBERTY SCALE AGAIN
 TILTED IN LOYALTY
fFrom Wednesdav,s Daily.l

Copper Basin may be small in mum Der O. people, but it is big in patriot ism. I. again comes to the front irr its remarkable spirit of patriotism by answering the call for a quota or S5,C00 in subscription to Liberty Bonds. by adding another S4,000, just
 to make the scales of good will to
 the !audable cause tilt upward to the So.COO mark to keep up its loyal cad cncc with an open hand and a gener- ous purse. This is the splendid re- sronse of the hardy miner to the sil-
 cnt appeal Of the one who Is over there on the firing line from him over
 her as he weaves patriotism and dol
 lars into one cause. The above fine
 showing came from that branch Of
 Phelps Dodge Corporation, with the
 assistance of neiqhboring mining people. and the credit of the b;g drive
 is due to \. B. Peach, the company superintendent. Again does the Com,
 mcrcial camp don the 100 per cent earb of Americanism, as it did when
 the third Liberty loan was floated. In this unique station Alr. Peach stated
 yesterday that in some cases miners
 put. up every dollar accumulated, and even hypothecated wages yet to be earned, and there was not a single
 employee who side stepped this honest
 purpose 10 prove his loyalty. Copper
 Basin ;s entitled to an honor flag to
 wave from on high al Garabrino Hill,
 undar which these sacrificing miners
 are delying with all their might to
 help win the war.

PILFERING FOR
 PATRIOTISM WINS OUT

Patriotism and petty larceny are not desirable bedfellows. but in the case of this youth his loyalty won out against the crime charged through the medium of thrift stamp demonstration which occurred some time ago in the juvenile court oi Denver.
 The accused lad is named Harry Buskirl, and he will be remembered as being in Prescott with his aunt Mrs. Mary O'Iara. who made this city her home last year. He was ac- cused of stealing some lead pipe and selling 1t to a junk dealer, as well did the compliment allegc other like deeds against this youth of nine years.
 The Denver News states that Ii looked fer Q time as if Harry would be sent to an institution for incor- rigibie youths. but the timely appear ancc of Mrs. O'Hara saved him. She Haunted in the face of the judge a bunch Of SIPS of war savings stamps stating all were proceeds of the 'rust1ing" of the boy. and they were given to her for safe keeDing for his sister, Emma, seven years old. II was proven that from tho sale of the lead pipe. Sl.50 was derived. every cent being invested in this war secur- itv q can't detain a boy with that spirit" said the judge. and conclud- ing with sharp rebute in lowerirg natriotism and upholding criminal deeds. re addressed Mrs. O'Hara as follows: Madam, take the boy home, your stamp camouflagc has worked this time: 1t won't the next
