RUDOLPH TAKES
 LIN MOTORL|FE

Through a deal consummated yes terday, Edward Rudolph, the local Ford agent and dealer, becomes the Phoenix and Glendale agent for Motorlife, a high grade lubricant and carbon remover.
 Before taking this agency, Mir. Ru- dolph made thorough investigation of the qualities of Motorlife anu found it to be all that it was claimed to be. Motorlife comes to serve and save money for the users of gasoline. Its use in any gasoline motor, according to MT. Rudolph saves from 25 to 50 per cent of gaso- line, removes carbon from the cylin- ders, valves and spark plugs, and prevents a redeposit of carbon. A trial test was made with one of the Ford coupes having standard speedometer attached. The known mileage per gallon averaged by the coupe was IS. With the use of Motorlife, the mileage jumped inn mediately to 3515.
 Motorlife is said to contain no acid or other chemicals which can in any way injure the most delicate motor. It contains a carbon solvent and high grade heat resisting lubri- cants, which entering the cylinders with the gasoline, thoroughly lubri- cates the upper cylinder chambers and other parts of the motor not reached by the regular lubricating system.
 Motorlife is very reasonable in price and only one ounce is used to each five gallons of gasoline.

FACULTY PLAY AT
 MESA |s SUCCESS

MESA, March 25.-The play rend- cred at the Mesa opera house on Fri day night by the faculty of Tempe Normal, was most agreeable surprise to local theatergOers. While expecta- tions were high owing to the well known ability of the Normal folks, in solar as literary attainments and teaching ability were concerned, yet it was but to be supposed that in the dramatic line, the amateur limitations must be considerably in evidence. In stead of this being the case, the play was handled as befitting those who had spent years in the work. Perfectly at home before the audience and letter perfect in their parts, each member of the cast proved perfectly satisfactory 10 the. patrons.

NEED FIVE MILLION WORKERS
(Washington Timesl

Workers on war munitions for the army, whether they are working di- rectly or indirectly for the govern ment. in arsenals, or indirectly, on intuition contracts, will receive an average wage of $1,500 year during the present fiscal year. This is the estimate of the public service reserve of the department of labor, which is engaged in finding workers for these plants.
 On the basis of this average wage the survey estimates that 4,S00,0Oo wage earners must be employed on war department work during the year to meet the estimates. Because of the high class of work demanded labor is estimated at ' per cent of total cost of all war contracts

NOT THE POINT FOR A STOP.

OF making many Investigations there is no
end, and results of the countrywide inquiry into
the cost of living, which has been undertaken
by the bureau of labor statistics, will be helpful
in making wage adjustments. But the average
consumer has pretty definite notions of what it
costs to maintain himself as going concern
in these strenuous days, and he would have a
lively interest in thorough investigation to
fix responsibility for conditions under which
some persons engaged in the production and
distribution of necessities make extravagant
profits. The work of the government in this
connection should not stop with the simple an
nouncement that a treasury analysis of certain
figures shows that thousands of small concerns
have made profits ranging from one hundred
ito three thousand per cent. above their normal
profits in years before the war. The bearing
of such returns upon the cost of living is OBJ

WHAT Is MOST NEEDED

The women s committee of the Massachusetts
ECouncil of National Defense has equipped a
food conservation demonstration train which is
Inaking the rounds of New England cities and
Towns the object being to instruct housewives
lin the modern scientific ways of conserving
FOOD.
It is to be hoped that this demonstration
train idea does not become gent raj throughout
hhe country or even to such an extent as to pro-
feet it into the territory Of the middle west
What is needed now is not trains carrying do
emestic science professors and food exhibits
from place to place, but trains carrying real
food in sufficient quantities to secure prompt
delivery of farm products from the country
shipping points to the city markets. Saving
food by the spoonful in the home and allowing
pit to go to waste by the carload on the farm or
bn congested freight terminals because of lack
of transportation facilities is not practical econ
pmy.

papers during tue past year indicate that more

FOOD SAVING IN THE FUTURE.

In spite of the good crops produced on Ameri-
can farms this year. there is going to be barely
sufficient staple food products to supply our
own needs, those of our allies and the neutral
countries that must have our food products or
their people will face starvation The farmers,
short of help and with many of their boys away
in the training camps or overseas, have done
their utmost. They have accomplished Won
ders in crop production under serious handi-
caps. The demands for food, however, are con-
stantly growing. If we called upon to feed
starving Russia, along with our other burdens,
it is going to draw heavily upon our own food
supply, necessitating the most effective food
conservation in every home, hotel and restau-
rant. And whether the war ends soon or con-
tinues another year, the food problem will con-
tinue to be serious one

JOYCE kiLMER.

Des Moines Register: Among the

would be difficult to pick out one sur
passing that of the death of Joyce

Gays dispatches to have been killed

aspect OF the loss, Mr.. Kilmer leaves

Then there is the tragedy of youth

FROM the standpoint of literature
there is a distinct loss, even though
he never would have ranked among
the great poets. He was one of
those individuals, quite too rare. who

Buy Liberty bonds not out OF the

Buy not merely because the pur-

But buy because your soul needs
