it Is very desirable that all stamp
purchases during July should be re-
ported 10 him These purchases
should he so reported so as to keen
check on them, so that Luna county
will have credit with the government
in all future sales and purchases. II
is felt that such purchasers should
feel a local pride in heir country's

gate in any of these patriotic loans
either for bonds or stamps the
smaller amounts the people will have
to raise in the future.

at the bank door, had two hours

Food Administrator,

The following extremely important
and interesting cable Just received
from Mr.. Hoover:
Please give following Joint reso-
luton Of the Food Controllers of the
United States, France, Italy and
Great Britain wide publicity: Re.
solved, that while the increased pro-
ductiOn Of the United States renders
It possible to relax some Of the re-
strictions which have borne with
peculiar hardships upon all our peo-
pie, yet it is absolutely necessary that
rigid economy and elimination of
waste in the consumption and han
ding Of all food stuffs as well as in
creased production should be main.
tained throughout the European al
lied countries and in North America.
1t is only by such economy and elimi-
nation Of waste that the transporta-
tlon Of the necessary men and sup
plies from North America to the Eu-
ropean front can be accomplished and
that stocks Of food stuffs can be
built up in North America as an in.
surance against the ever present dan
ger Of harvest failure and the pos
sible necessity for large and emer-
gency drafts to Europe. We cannot
administer the food problem on the
basis Of one years war, we must pre-
pare for its long continuance il we
are to insure absolute victory"
