duty under the supervision of especial ly established girls protective bu- reaus.
 Girls actually resident in the vicin- ity of the camps are protected, run aways are restored to their parents, and amusement places are now scru- tinized carefully. The work offers an opportunity for the officer to exercise discreation, sympathy and a knowl- edge of human nature that particular ly are her own.
 These women are trained sociologi- cal workers and so peculiarly equip ped for efficient service. Their duties are intensely personal in character and are concerneds chiefly with indi- viduals. Although cooperating close ly with the military authorities and local police, they wear no uniform badge or distinguishing mark of any kind.

GOVERNMENT WANTS
 BIGGER SHEEP INDUSTRY

Effort should be made to increase the production of sheep and wool. h. crease in farm flocks is recommended wherever conditions are favorable and the first cost of stocking is not too high.
 The wool produced in this country furnishes only about 50 per cent. of the amount used in peace times; the war demands have emphasized the seriousness of this domestic shortage To equip two million soldiers anC clothe them for one year would re quire the entire quantity of wool grown annually in this country.
 During recent years we have shorn about 35 million fleeces annually, and the pulled wool taken from sheep and lambs slaughtered for meat brings the total clip up to the equivalent of about 40 million fleeces. If all of this wool were suitable for military use, it would supply only 2 million men. The production of wool in the United States has remained practically sta tionary from 1914 to 1917, while im- ports increased 4S per cent, and the estimated net supply increased only about 21 per cent.
 That mutton and wool production in this country can be increased great ly admits of no doubt. This can be accomplished by developing sheep hus- | bandry on farms, especially in the ] eastern and southern states. Steps should be taken in the east and south to do away with the sheep-killing dog menace by state of local action. Large results can be secured by improving methods of breeding and management on the range by securing the re, stocking of improved farm lands witt sheep; by the larger use of forage crops and pastures; by encouraging sheep and lamb clubs; by the elimna tion of parasites; by protection against predatory animals; and by 1 having lambs ready for market al | from 70 to so pounds weight, thereby { requiring a minimum of grain tc finish them, and making possible tho maintenance of larger breeding flocks

CONCENTRATION OF
 AMERICAN WAR WORK

It has become evident that soliciaa. tion for private endeavor in war work is being extended over too large a field. Just as the allies have found that, to win, there must be fullest con. centration and coordination of effort so there must be gathering together in America of the hundreds of organ izations that now, with the best of in tentions, are trying to help the soldier and the government.
 On this line, the Arizona State Council of Defense has made inquiry and has found a number of patriotic associations engaged in war work whose solicitation of funds can be fully endorsed. This list is not comprehen- sive and does not exclude, by implica- tion, societies not mentioned:
 Endorsed by the President of the United States--The American Red Cross, Washington, D. c.
 Endorsed by the War Department Army Relief Society, Mrs. H. L. Stim- son, 560 Park. Ave, New York; War and Navy Commission on Training Camp Activities, Washington.

FOOD ADMINISTRATORS
 MAKES ANOTHER CHANGE

The absolute necessity of further ,, wheat Conservation as a war measure IS held responsible for a change in the food conservation program for Arizona announced by the federal food administration.
 Beginning Monday, March II, no wheat flour should be sold retailers except on the 50-50 basis with official substitutes. The use of potatoes as a substitute in those localities which have been allowed the privilege will be discontinued. Retailers having no substitutes on hand will be required to hold their wheat flour until supplies of the official substitutes are received.
 To lessen the strain imposed by this drastic ruling, the food administration announces that the ban against the use of pork and pork products will be raised on Tuesdays.
 Porkless Saturdays have been elim- mated. Beginning March 12, Tuesdays will be beefless and porkless. Mutton and lamb may be served until April 10, however, as well as fish and game. Hens or bullets should not be used for food on Tuesdays or any other day, though there is no restriction against the use of broilers weighing two pounds or less, live weight.
 The butchers of the state will be asked to lend their patriotic coopera- tion toward carrying out the new order of affairs.
 Positive instructions have been re- ceived by the federal food administra- tion for Arizona from Washington to permit no deviations from the observ- ance of the official list of wheat flour substitutes in the sale of wheat flour by retailers beginning next Monday. The whole basis of the change of pro- gram, it is explained by wire from Washington, is to substitute our more abundant meats for our less abundant breadstuffs.

BAKER ESTABLISHES WO-
 MAN POLICE FORCE

The war department has established a woman police force.
 With more than a million and a half men already in khaki and mil lions more awaiting the call to the colors, the department has turned to the so-called weaker sex for assistance in disposing of a vital wartime prob- lem.
 Thousands of young women have gone to the vicinity of the military camps. To see that these girls are protected from dangers, the depart ment's commission on training camp activities has appointed fifty-five women deputy sheriffs to do scout ing and patrol work. In all parts of the country the women are on

INVESTIGATION OF WAR
 DEPT. BRING RESULTS

That the senate's investigation of the conduct of the war was construc- tive and helpful in it's effects, has been demonstrated by Senator Joseph s. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey, mem- Der of the committee on military af- fairs, which conducted the inquiry. Senator Frelinghuysen enumerates ten definite and beneficial results at tained as consequence of the expos ure of seven specific defects in the management of government business relating to the war. The ten achieve ments credited to the inquiry are as follows:
 1. More businesslike methods, quick CT decisions and more immediate re- suits.
 2. The functions of supervising con tracts has been taken away from priv a citizens, and sworn public officials nave been placed in charge. St3. A grsaj aj'industrial captain called to Washinee, ss the supervisor of purchases.
 %sHeads of-tertain bureaus replac- ed'by younger, more cirile men, with great initiative.
 5. Secret cont stem abolished
 6. The questitSAt, proper clothing being studied an .cien. Pershing in. structed to buy uniforms in England for the American soldiers abroad.
 7. Proper consideration now paid to the health, sanitatio, and hygiene ir the camps.
 8. Contracts, yielding abnormally large profits annulled.
 9. Ordnance delay is being correct. ed.
 TO- The airplane program now be, ing pushed to the limit.
 There has been an effort on the part of administration senators anC representatives to create the impress. sion that the inquiry hindered rather than helped in the prosecution of the war. The fact is, and it is now ad mitted, that before the inquiry began the war department was hampereC by red tape which the committee in, sisted must be abandoned. There wa. a policy of secrecy regarding tho names of contractors for supplies ant construction, and also regarding prices paid. Secretary Baker has since an nounced that the policy of secrecy vii be abandoned. The true facts regard ing the shortage of clothing, delay ir providing guns, inadequacy of hospi tai facilities, and the slowness of tho airplane program, were not known tc the public until the committee began it's hearings.

DEMOCRATS WANT TO
 DRAW STATE MONEY

The gubernatorial race, still on its first quarter, is eliminating some of the runners. Lamar Cobb has taken his former place in the state land de- partment under Commissioner Moeur, which certainly looks like he is out of the running, even ahead of the court decision on his suit against the state commission of institutions.
 Rumors are also waited about that Osborne is dropping white feathers and is trying to get someone to in- sist that he remain in the office of the secretary of state for the sake of democratic harmony. Moeur's run ming from the same county has fright ened Sidney. It looks like there would no election for tax commissioner on account of the failure to have a state election in 1912, and Senator Claridge of Graham, president of the last state senate, will have to be content with assistant secretary of state, which shelves McGillan who has really done the work for the last seven years, which, by the way, brings out the machine slogan for this year, "seven come eleven" The republicans are also beginning to figure on their state ticket, being more confident than usual due to their success in electing Campbell last year and because they have heard the rumblings of the vot- CTS opposing the supreme courts de- cision. If Campbell will run he will have no opposition in his own party, but he is reported as not being overly anxious unless sure of success, as his tenure of office, while the courts were deciding the contest, was far from pleasant.
 The Republican Situation.
 There is much demand for F. S. Clark of Prescott to run for the su- preme court which comes from the large prohibition forces in the state in addition to the republicans in gen eral. The same people are backing John L. Gust to run for attorney gen eral, believing that he can be elected in view of the good race he made when nearly unknown last year. Gust can carry Maricopa against any opponent if he will run, which shows what they think of him where he is attorney for the water users.
 H. E. Matthews made a splendid impression running for superintendent of public instruction the last time and should easily be elected if run ming against an incumbent who has been serving for seven years.
 Jack Barber of Gila county, a we'll known young cattleman, is being talk ed about for secretary of state.
 F. M. Layton, ex-treasurer of Graham county is suggested for state treasurer. He was accountant in the commission of state institutions under Governor Campbell.
 A. H. Gardner of Tombstone and H. H. Watkins from Kingman are both mentioned for state auditor. The former is one of the recently appoint ed road commissioners in Cochise county for the million dollar bond ex- penditure and the latter is well known in banking circles of the north.
 Norman Mckenzie, the quaintly humorous real hard rock miner, may run again for state mine inspector.
 There are not so many men mention ed for places on the republican ticket as on the democratic, but it is believ- ed the republicans will have plenty of to choose from with the op- portunities of election so much bright

QUICKSILVER MINES
 BREAK ALL RECORD

The quicksilver production of the United States for 1917 was 36,351 flasks of 75 pounds each, valued at the average quoted market price at San Francisco ($1O6.12 per flask) at about $3,S57,000. The output was therefore the greatest in quantity since 1883 and the greatest in value since 1875. The production in 1916 was 29,992 flasks, so that the increase in 1917 was 6,419 flasks.
 The productive states were Califor- mia, Texas, Nevada, Oregon and Ari- Zona.
