ARIZONA SOCIETY ORGANIZED

Following we publish a letter from the Arizona State society, a new orga- nization, which is doing much for the boys at Camp Kearny from our state:
 February Il, 1918. Editor Mohave County Miner,
 Kingman, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: Some of the former resi- dents of Arizona have organized an Arizona State society, and at the pres ent time are engaged in the work of looking after the recreation and com forts of the Arizona enlisted men in San Diego and vicinity.
 Camp Kearny is situated within 12 miles of the city and the enlisted men from the camp have three liberty days a week, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. On these days the men co1he to San Diego for the purpose of find ing recreation from their arduous duties at the camp, and it is the pur- pose of our society to make it just as pleasant for our boys on their lib- erty days as we possibly can before they go to the front.
 We are affiliated with what is known as the Federation of State so- cieties, which is composed of a num- Der of state societies engaged in simi- lar work, which maintains a recrea- tion and reading room for the enlisted men in San Diego, at which place various forms of entertainment are be- ing given and at which place the home papers are eagerly sought by the boys.
 Our society is maintained by popu- lar subscription, and of course, our finances are very limited, and I have been requested by the society and by many of the soldier boys to ascertain if you would put us on your mailing list gratis. I am sure that the boys from your section of the country who are in the service will appreciate this very much. Our address is as fol lows:
 Arizona State Society,
 Care of Federation of State Societies, Spreckels Bldg, San Diego, Cal.
 Thanking you, I remain,
 Yours very truly,
 J. WEINBERGER,
 Publicity Secretary.

FOOD PRODUCTS TO
 BE LARGELY INCREASED

PHOENIX, Feb. 6.-The food ad- ministration will pay greater atten- tion than ever during the coming year to the matter of production, it was an- nounced today by Timothy A. Rior- dan, federal food administrator for Arizona. MT. Riordan is in receipt of letter from Herbert Hoover in which he says:
 While necessarily the determina- tion of policy on production is in the hands of the Department of Agricul- ture and its agencies, feel sure that it is a prime duty of the food admin istration to inflame the imagination of farmers to the national necessity. The particular crop that the farmer raises is of secondary importance to the food administration, as compared to pro duction, so long as it yields an in crease in human and animal food.
 Practically any crop of this char acter will assist in reducing the world shortage The main thing is to get planting and breeding on a larger scale than hitherto. What we want
 
 to instill into the farmers mind is that the responsibility rests upon him if this cause is to be won.
 q know his feeling about labor is discouraging but I still believe a su- per-effort by our farmers will get the greater crop planted. Given that it is planted, we can find a solution to it's harvest somehow, if we have to turn our town population into the fields. We also need this year to fur ther stimulate the planting of gardens on all sides and everywhere. All pro ducers have enjoyed good prices for products and this back ground for pro duction could not be better"
 In reply Mir. Riordan has written Mir. Hoover, pledging the cooperation of his office in the furtherance of plans looking to the material increase in production in this state during the coming season, and definite steps to this end will be taken shortly.

SIMPLE NAIL FILE

One of the incest nail files you can get is a bit of whitestone, say one and one-half inches long. Try diff ferent stones and select the one whose texture best suits the texture of your nails. By using it frequently you can eliminate the cutting of nails. It leaves a beautiful smooth edge on the nail, is quicker and easier to use than a steel file and never produces any of those unpleasant sensations that so often attend the use of a steel nail file.-Farm Life.

 Gentlemen: I enclose circulars con- taining information concerning the 319th Regimen of Engineers which is now being organized at Camp Ere mont, Palo Alto, California.
 We feel that this is an especially fine opening for young men of ability who are anxious to get into first class organization and who also wish to serve their country along the lines of their greatest usefulness.
 The 319th Engineers will most prob ably have to do great deal of mining work, and it is for this reason that we are asking you to help us to bring these facts to the attention of those of your patrons who are miners.

JOIN THE JUNIOR RED CROSS

It was an American poet, himself of German descent and absolutely loyal to America, who addressed a little book to the boys and girls of this land, 'You are the Hope of the World" That is the exact truth. You are indeed the worlds hope for democ- racy for justice, for international friendship. How can we make you feel this, we older people working now to help our nation in our fight for these things?
 We'll, one way is the Junior Red Cross. President Wilson approved it when he issued his famous proclama- tion September 155, calling to the chiI- dren of the schools to unite under it for patriotic service.
 During the ten days between Lin coln's and Washington's birthdays, February 12 to P, 1918, the American Red Cross is going to summon you, boys and girls of America, to respond to President Wilson's call in com plete battle line formation, the battle line of the American school.
 What is the Junior Red Cross?
 It is a department of the American Red Cross belonging to the school children of the United States through which they can find expression in ev- cry form of patriotic service. As President Wilson says, 'Learn by do- ipo. lrinJ +Liycrg ,,pJa,. fbo;,. Aoaoba,,o direction to be the future good citi- zens of this great country which we all love-"
 The Junior Red Cross is efficiency. It can provide you boys and girls with work to do which will be of real serv- ice, with opportunities for work which are practical and which lead to def mite results, with specifications of ar ticles to make which the Red Cross knows to be useful at this time. You can be sure that your money which goes to the Red Cross will not be wasted.
 The Red Cross is conservation. Ev- cry sweater that you knit, every box that you make, is just as truly piece of conservation as money put in the war savings or liberty bonds. You are helping the government by using your school time in helping to release other workers in other fields of which the government has need.
 The Red Cross is morale. In join ing it you are joining that great army of citizens which stands back of the boys at the front. You put courage in their hearts and power in their elbows, you make them feel that their country is with them and is something to fight for and die for, if need be.
 Can you think of any reason teachers, and boys and girls, why you should not join the Junior Red Cross? |? Then write to the nearest Red Cross chapter headquarters and have your school join the rest. Make our battle cry come true-"Every School a Red Cross Auxiliary Center of National Service"

AN ANCIENT SUPERSTITION

In throwing a piece of chalk after his men for luck as they charged the enemy an Irish colonel was but reviv- ing a superstition which dates back to the ancient days of Thrace, where the custom originated of marking lucky days with the white stone and unlucky with a black one. In its early youth Rome adopted the custom, and, al though chalk, not being indigenous, was chiefly known, as its name, Creta, implies, as an import from Crete, it was generally used for the marking of lucky days. According to Horace, the marking was done with chalk for good and coal for bad luck.-LOndon Chron- icle.
