Maricopa County Has AL
most Certainly Raised so
Per Cent More Than Her
Quota-State May Have
Won Two HutS

Heading the entire United States in
to the United War
Work campaign, Arizona now seems
fairly certain of having two out of the
% honor huts given in the drive named
after it. The first hut will hear the
name Arizona because the Baby State
was among the first eleven to reach its
minimum quota and the second, if
finally won, will come because Arizona
will have been among the II states
which farthest oversubscribe that
quota
New York has announced that Arizo-
ma had reached 202 per cent. This
caused some quick figuring at state
headquarters when it was discovered
that national headquarters is still car
rying Arizona at a quota of s239,0 900,
which was the figure placed last sum-
mer. The state, before the drive start
ed, voluntarily raised its minimum
quota to $306000 and that figure has
not been doubled or anything like it,
as the New York report would Indicate
However, Arizona has Comfortably
passed the highest figure asked, that
of $459,000. Just what the final total
will be will not be known until all re-
ports are in. The extension of the
drive for two days, while many will
not avail themselves of the extension,
Will mean delay in the announcement
of final figures at state headquarters.
The drive formally closes Wednesday
night and it will be Thursday evening,
at the earliest, before all figures will
be in and in shape for tabulation.
Maricopa Close to Its Goal
Marlcopa county has surprised even
its warmest admirers in the past three
days. 1t was a slow start in this coun-
ty but it now looks as though Mari
copa would add enough to reach the
desired quota of 100 per cent with an
oversubscription of so per cent. 1t is
feared, however, that the county will
not win one of the honor trucks for
having been one of the four counties
in the state to farthest pass its quota.
At present Maricopa is headed by va
vapai, ella, Greenlee and Pinal counties
in competition for the honor truck.
1t should always be understood that
corporation gifts do not count in the
honor truck competition which is a
competition of individual effort, only
However, corporation gifts are finally
to be added to the total county show
ing.
With the corporation gifts included

TOO MUCH USELESS
LETTER WRITING

Washington has asked the state
council of defense to urge upon the
business men of this state to economic
in the use of stationary and postage on
the unnecessary use OF correspondence
with departments of the government at
the capital The receipt of mail of this
character has become so great that car
rying and delivering facilities have be-
come congested.
In lieu of this method, the national
council advises subscriptions to the
Official L. 5. Bulletin or, at least, ref
erence to it in practically all public
buildings. In this bulletin, it is said,
all proclamations, bulletins, decisions
and rulings are printed as rapidly as
made. In this way, it is claimed, much
time can be saved, as well as the cost
of material used in too much letter
writing.

Dwight 3. Heard last evening
said:
From the way returns have
been pouring in today from the
outside school districts it now looks
as if Maricopa county had raised
$4,000 for the United War Work
drive, or over so per cent of our
minimum quota of $4,000. A few
school districts which have not
reached their quota during the ex-
ira two days which have been
granted will undoubtedly pass their
quota, and in few days a full
statement of the amount raised in
Phoenix and every school district
will be published.
"The spirit of the people in re-
spending to the appeal for the boys
who have won the fight has been
wonderful, the organized work of
the workers has been superb and
those who are on this great honor
roll of contributors will, for all
time, be proud of the support they
have given this great welfare drive.
On behalf of the executive COM
mittee ! most heartily thank the
small army of loyal workers and
the generous people who by their
backing have made this great sue
cess possible"

AGENTS
T0CHECK PRICES
IN LOCAL STORES
Ten Women, Identity I'm
known, Will Aid Others
In Learning Whether
Actual Prices Same As
Published Ones

AS a further check in the matter of
fair prices arrived at by the Phoenix
Fair Price committee, of which Dom
aid Dunbar is chairman, ten wo-
men, whose identity is to remain Sc
cret, have been appointed by County
Food Administrator S. ]. Buckingham
to act with six others, appointed some
time ago as price reporters. The duty
of these reporters will be to report
prices actually charged b. Phoenix
stores.
These prices will be forwarded az
rect to the fair price division of the
food administration at Washington
Any discrepancies between the prices
published in the newspapers and those
charged consumers will be grounds for
an investigation by government agents.
System in 40 Towns
The fair price system is said to be
working out to the decided advantage
of the consumer in all parts of Ari-
IONA. Fair price committees are in
operation in 40 towns of the state, and
other smaller places are governed by
the nearest larger town.
Comparisons of prices of the various
commodities listed are made by an eX-
pert connected with the state office of
the food administration, and in this
way it is possible to check any inclina-
ton toward rising profits.
Highest Prices at Yuma
a recent comparison of meat prices,
for example, showed that Yuma was
maintaining the highest meat prices in
Arizona. An inspector was sent there
to study the situation. to determine
whether conditions warranted the high
prices; if not, the dealer will sum-
marily be ordered to lower their prices.
In this connection the food admins
tration calls attention to a recent or
der granting full authority for the en-
forcement of fair prices as determined
upon by the fair price board and APP
proved by the federal food admins
| traitor.
The Yuma situation is peculiar in
that in other lines many commodities
are lower than elsewhere. When last
summer the price of ice at that point
was under consideration, the manufac-
turers voluntarily reduced the price
five cents and in other matters the
merchants have displayed the utmost
loyalty in following the suggestions
paid dowr by the food administration
it is stated.

ton as the maximum point. The man
or the country that maintains or in
creases its production of gold in face
of difficulties and discouragements is
performing patriotic service which
deserves recognition no less than the
most obvious but not less useful SER
vices that are more in the public eye."
Delegate Sulzer has great hopes of
securing a subsidy from the govern
ment upon gold production and is
working to that end. In case his
efforts are successful, hundreds of
mines in the Territory, which are now
forced to operate at loss or close
down, would be operated at profit,
and thousands of men would be given
Lucrative employment.

TWO ESCAPING GERMAN
PRISONERS ARE CAPTURED

LONDON, May 7 (by mail)-A
daring attempt to escape from England
by crossing the English channel in an
ordinary rowboat was made the other
day by two escaped German prison
ers. They were caught on dark
night by a patrol at a point on the
coast nearest Zeebrugge, their objec-
tive.
The prisoners, who were dressed as
seafaring men, wearing blue serge
suits and high boots, had travelled
about sixty miles from their camp,
near Salisbury Plain. One who spoke
English fiuently made no secret of
their intention. When searched they
had between them nearly the equiva-
lent of S. in silver. About a mile
along the beach from the spot where
they were captured they had con-
cealed, beneath boat, bags of bis
cults, together with bread and fruit,
razor, shaving brush and large
bottle of water.

STIMULATION Of
GOLD INDUSTRY
BEING SOUGHT

In a cablegram received by the
Valdez Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently, Delegate SuLSr states that he
has been urging upon the government
the desirability and the necessity for
the stimulation of gold production by
either a subsidy or an increased price
for the precious metal. Delegate Sui
ger, who has taken the matter up with
Secretary McAdoo, recently received
letter from him which in part reads:
Il fully appreciate that with the
rising cost of war material and labor,
and with a fixed status for their out
put, the gold miners of the world are
facing difficult conditions. l should
be sorry, however, if for this reason
there were any relaxation in the eff
fort to produce gold At no time has
this country so much required the
largest possible production of gold as
at present. Next to food and ammu-
milton gold is one of the most needed
war essentials"
The secretary then goes into the
matter of international credits and
concludes: This brief statement will,
I hope, make clear to your constitu-
ents the great necessity that exists
for the maintenance of gold produc-

HUN PRISONERS
BE GLAD WHEN
WAR IS OVER

LONDON, May 8 (by maip The
German war prisoner has become the
hobo" of Russian idle. shiftless
Wanderer who wants neither to work
nor fight. Many such prisoners, both
Germans and Austrians, were en-
countered at different points in Rus
STA by the members of the American
Red Cross mission returning from Ru-
mania. They were never under guard,
were usually in small groups, and
apparently had no employment nor
wish for employment. They were
without arms and shabbily clad, and
always declared emphatically that
they had no desire to get back into
the German army, nor even any wish
to return to Germany until after a.
general peace was declared.
If the prisoners showed any dispo-
sition to organize, or even to travel
about in marauding bands, they would
furnish a serious problem, but under
present conditions they are merely a.
nuisance.
At small station north of Vol0gda
there was group Of about fifty pris-
oners idling on the station platform,
some asleep in the winter sun, some
playing cards, others whiting little
toys and knick-knacks out of soft
wood. The Associated Press CORE
spondeHt talked with several of them
They were greatly surprised to hear
that the United States had entered
the war year before, and several of
them expressed still more surprise at
being informed that America was not
the ally of Germany.
They had been sent to this part of
Russia nearly two years before in a
railway construction gang, but had
done no work for several weeks. They

gratitude three old Ioaves of black
bread and few pieces of chocolate
which the Americans were able to
spare them AS an afterthoughts one
of the Americans brought out to them
the remains of a large, round Ameri-
can cheese. 1t had been purchased
in New York city, and had accompa-

Yokohama, Moscow and Jassy, serv-l
ing throughout the Rumanian cam
paign.
There were several large camps Of
German prisoners in the far north of
Russia, but these had mostly broken
up completely since the revolution,
owing to difficulties with the food sup
ply. 1t was said that thousands of
German prisoners in these northern
camps died of scurvy, which was also
prevalent in many of the far northern
villages and among the refugees.

 Miss Virginia Pearson will appear today at the Auditorium theatre in a big William Fox war play, A Daughter of France. This play is certainly a thriller. The action takes place in and between the French and German lines in France and it concerns a love affair that springs up between Louise de Cion Miss Pearson) and a German officer who has led his troops into France. The ending of this strange affair (particularly strange at this time) is pleasin in the extreme-in fact will tend to increase patriotism in this country.
 The story shows conditions at the time when the kaiser's army swept across the French border It points out the havoc wrought to both women and property. The scenic effects are beautiful and Miss Pearson looks as usual, quite her beautiful self. She has a good story and does justice to it. The play will remain at the Auditorium theatre three days. Vengeance and the Woman. that great serial photoplay of the golden west, will also be shown today, and this episode is corker.

 Miss Fraser, here's to you We don't need to say that we liked Miss Fraser and everything she had to tell us. The way we followed her around and packed every room in which she spoke, out to the doors, and sometimes up to the ceiling, is proof enough of that.

act Metro wonderplay of adventure and romance. This is a true red -blooded romance and is play of patriotism without a reference to war. It breathes the spirit of good constructive Ameri- canism yet it does not mention world conflict. The only conflict is between old, outworn ideas of aristocracy and the great vital problems of real men and women. It is a human storey told in a human way full of love, ad- venture and the spirit of true Ameri- canism. With such artists as Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne to in- terpret it's humanity there could be no saner or more delightful entertainment.
 The tenth chapter of The Eagles Eye will also be shown and the latest war news in the Hearst -Pathe weekly will complete the bill.
