With more than seven hundred mem
bers of the United Mine Workers Of
America gone to the war from the
Kausas district, and with hundreds
more on the eve of answering the

company operating in the Kansas
field would be glad to employ five
hundred miners now.

T.A. R|ORDAN| |s ASKED TO G|VE
 MEETING FACTS

A resolution has been sent to T. A. Riordan, food administrator for Ari- zona, by the Maricopa Dairymen's as sociation, asking that the public be
 given an "unprejudiced statement of the proceedings of a meeting conducted by the food administration with the creamery and dairymen April 27. It heads:
 Whereas, it is highly desirable that the public should have an unprejudiced statement of the proceedings of the meeting of April 27, conducted by the food administration with the creamery men and dairymen, be it
 Resolved, that we desire an official iy signed statement of these proceed ings from your office to be used by the public press; and
 Whereas, we are told that the un- reasonably low prices of milk are largely due to the piling up of con densed milk in the warehouses, this in turn being due to the lack of shipping facilities and embargo on goods going to Mexico; be it
 Resolved, that we urge and solicit your best efforts in an endeavor to have this embargo temporarily lifted"
 At the last meeting of the dairymen Professor Williams of the University or Arizona spoke in defense of the dairy COW, urging that production of milk be maintained. He said the dairy men were not receiving enough for their milk and said it would probably be impossible for all the dairymen to stay in the business. Professor Will Hams however advised against the selling of COWS. "The dairy business is at the very lowest ebb at present" he said. "But I believe the man who sells his cows will regret it within the next two or three years. and possibly sooner'
 Every effort should be made to ad- just the matter of prices so that the industry will not perish in the Salt River valley, according to V. c. Mus grave, one of the largest producers in the valley.
 l am milking about 100 head at this time," he said. q formerly mixed 160 head. l have sold approximately one third Of my business because I can not sustain it.
 Under present conditions. the creamery companies of the valley if nance our dairies. We pay them 10 per cent interest on their money. We are obliged to sell them our products. and we are obliged to abide by their weights, their tests and their prices.
 we receive on an average about 13 cents gallon for our milk. One cow Will not bring in more than s1O or s11 a month under such circumstances and IL takes about one-half ton of hay to feed one COW each month.
 The only solution that I can see at the present time is for the government to supply the farmers with the neces- sary funds to break loose from the ir-nn hands of these creameries. Something has got to be done."

MANY HOMES n
 BE BUILT HERE

since January l, permits for the erection of 56 residences within tn ], city limits have been issued from the office of Building Inspector Herbert I. Mann. Of this number, eight resi- dence permits were ssued during April, according to the repo :. of In- spector Mann, made public yesterdav.
 During April, a total of 39 permits were issued by the building inspector, representing a total valuation of s5l.- S6S. This does not quite come up to the figures for March, when the vaIua tion represented by the permits issued amounted to $94.7S5, but exceeds the valuation of the February permits, which amounted to $41,974. Although the April. 1917, permits amounted to sSl,776, there were but three permits issued that month for residences. The highest valuation represented in any permit issued during April of this year was for a grain elevator for the Phoenix Flour Mills, which is already well under construction at cost of upwards of $20.O00.

MAY F WILL BE
 OBSERVED HERE
 AS MOTHER DAY

To be observed as Mothers day in Arlzona, Governor Hunt, by proclama- ton issued on March 6, has set aside sunday, May 12, which he asks to be iittlngly observed in every quarter of the state. His proclamation is as fol- lows:
 Since our country has entered upon the war for the freedom of the world. nave made many calls upon the peo- pie Of this state appealing to their patriotism and often to their generos- ny. The response has always been immediate and spontaneous. And so in making this proclamation it is with the feeling and the hope that the answer will come from every corner, from every nome and from every heart in the state.
 The second Sunday in May has for the past few years come to be ac- cepted as Mothers day. This year it seems that every day is Mothers day. The soldier goes to his duty tuned to the excitement of the hour and the companionship of his fellow-soidiers; the wage earner goes to his work with the firm determination to do his ut- most, but the mother must stay at home-wlth her many duties, to be sure put always with the solitary thought that the lives she has brought into the world are somewhere on the field or battle. Hers is the reaI-the greatest-sacrifice. All that can sus tain her is the belief the surety, that the sacrifice she makes will insure for the mothers of tomorrow a world made free for the bearing of their children.
 Therefore, with prayer in our hearts ana smile of comfort on our lips, ask the people of Arizona to dedicate the 12th day of May to the mothers. May God bless them and keep them"
 GEO. W. P. HUNT,
 Governor of Arizona.

sOLD|ER'S WIFE |s
 GIVEN HER DECREE

 Mrs. Thorpe was still in her teens when she became the bride of Thorpe in 1914. Their life together was .so disagreeable" testified Mrs. Thorpe that they separated in 1916. That her husband failed to support her was corroborated by her mother, Mrs. R. L. Hayes of 335 East Jefferson street. with whom Mrs. Thorpe has made her home since the separation. That her parents sent her to business col lege in order to fit her to earn her own living was the young wife's statement.

The hand he believed symbolic of a secret society to which he said he once he- longed. Until the past few days Nal colmson was not violent but when he fancied he was being followed he made threats to kill certain mer Wednesday he became obsessed with the idea and secured a knife to carry out his threat when his case was re- ported to the officers.

HELPING TO FEED THE NATION

Since women are undertaking to
do their, share in the task of feeding
the nation and our allies, it is only
right their efforts should receive the
credit merited, not that they are en-
titled to more credit than mere man,
for in asking the ballot they are plac-
ing themselves on 4 par with the mas
culine tillers of the soil.
Welsh has number of women ag-
Iricutturists who are successful in their
efforts, among them is Mrs. Mary Nc
Kay, who, on her little farm in the
edge of town, produces variety OF
products in marketable quantities and
with financial success, not only sup
porting herself comfortably, but fur
nishing much of the good eating
which residents of the town would
do without if it were not for her eff
4 forts, because in these times Of high
prices few farmers are paying any
attention whatever to the vegetables
and eggs which make meal time not,
able.
Mrs. Mckay has produced this sea
son crop of most excellent sweet
potatoes, a sample of which is nov
on display in the Journal Office win
dow The potatoes are large, of fin'
quality and have yielded large. Tit
crop was planted, tended and har
] vested by Mrs. Mckay, without man
assistance.
We do not favor woman's exten
sive invasion of the field of agrlcul
/ ture but if man won't raise anythin
but rice and cotton, it is high tim
I that the women of the land steppe
| in to the task. They know what
takes to make three meals and woui
{ give that matter mature study

William Courtenay will be seen in the leading role of "The Recoil." ;" This clever actor has been seen in several good productions in Juneau recently, including Kick h. "The Ocean Waif," and "The Hunting of the Hawk" all of which pleased those who saw them.
 "The Recoil' is a mystery story patterned somewhat after "The Hunting of the Hawk" but dealing with an entirely different angle of secret service work William Cour- tenay plays the part of the chief of the United States secret service and is engaged in directing the hunt for number of spies who have made themselves obnoxious to the Government.
 In addition another episode of Pearl of the Army" will be shown, as well as a good comedy entitled "Jailed.'
