WRITES MOTHER
Corporal Carter. on Battle Line,
Writes a Cheering letter.


The following letter received by
Mrs. Ida Carter from her son, Cor
poral n Carter Of this city, who is
in France, should prove a cheering
letter to other mothers whose sons
are in the service:
"My Dear Mother.
Received your letter dated July
20 today. saying that Bert had left
for camp and naturally | knew ex-
actly how you felt
Now mother you must look at all
sides of everything before arriving
at gloomy conclusion. The first and
most important fact to be given con-
sideration is that somebody must
come over here and all mothers feel
more or less the same about giving
up their sons and each one feels that
they are alone in their suffering,
which is wrong on the face of it for
more reasons than one.
Eve happened to be the generation
whose age gave us the honor of doing
our little bit which eventually will
benefit many generations to come;
therefore you should be extremely
proud to th.ak that you have two
sons who are physically capable of
doing their part, which is certainly
much better than having two such as
Cho. described in her last letter.
THE party you mentioned will
have a lot to be proud Of after it is
finished and | don't think you would
envy their position in the least. You
must be brave little mother and it
won't be long now until we will be
home and we can forget that there
ever was such thing as war.
81 have always maintained that
thorough prepareness is the greatest
argument in favor of peace and
certainly hope and feel reasonably
sure that the good old u. S. won't
have anything to worry about for a
long time.
Mother it is impossible to write
often as | feel safe in saying that we
are working as hard as any organz-
alton here, but | think Of you all the
time and appreciate your letters more
than you can realize.
with love to you and the family
"Nick."

THE THEATRE
Liberty Theatre

In the William Fox Superplcture
'The Rose Of Blood" in which Theda
Bara, the world renowned screen
artistic, plays the stellar role, there
is a Cossack raid-staged by Director
J. Gordon dwards-that for real at
mosphere surpases any former at
tempt made to film this always spec
tacular and tragic event.
And during the height Of this furi-
GUS charge Of the mounted soldiers,
Miss Bara was exposed to the danger
Of being run down and trampled. 1t
was only through the quick wit OF an
extra" man that she was barely able
to escape serious injury which might
have perhaps resulted fatally.
Director Edwards had taken every
precaution to safeguard the princi-
pals in this scene and had given
minute instructions to the leaders Of
the band Of wild horsemen just where
Miss Bara would appear on the scene.
He also warned Miss Bara to be
ready to dash for safety when he
gave her the signal.
Astride the horses we're some of
the most fearless riders that could
be found in Southern California,
where the photodrama was filmed,
and many of them were veterans Of
many hard fought photoplay bat
tie
This splendid photoplay will be
seen at the Liberty theatre Sunday
afternoon and evening.

RIGID ECONOMY
IN USE Of FOOD
To Be OBSERVED

New York, Aug. 1.-The federal
food board made public tonight the
text of point resolution adopted by
the food controllers of the United
States, France, Italy and Great Brit
ain and received from Federal Admin
istrator Hoover, now in Europe. with
the request that it be given wide
publicity The text follows:
Resolved, that while the increased
production of the United States rem
ders 1t possible to relax some of the
restrictions which have borne with
peculiar hardship upon all our peo-
pies. yet 1t is absolutely necessary that
rigid economy and elimination of
waste, in the consumption and handl-
ing of foodstuffs. as well as increased
production, should be maintained
throughout the European allied coun-
tries and North Americal
ut is only by such economy and
of waste that the trans
portation of the necessary men and
supplies from North America to the
European front can be accomplished,
and that stocks of foodstuffs 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 draft crops to Europe. We can
not administer the food problem on
the basis of one years war. We must
prepare for it's long continuance IL
we are to insure absolute victory"

Dor estimated by reports received to-
day as approximating 100000.
The announcement of the state
quotas followed n conference here to-
day of representatives of dozen war
industries with officials of the de-
partment Of labor The estimated la.
bor needs of each of the industries
was submitted by the representatives
and these estimates will be used in
apportioning the first quotas
Among the state quotas announced
are the following:
Arizona $50.
California, II 555.
Colorado, 5,175.
Kansas, 5,175.
New Mexico, 5S5.
Texas, 1890.
The quotas, it was said are the net
requirements of the various war in
dustries and do not make allowances
for extra needs or for labor turnover.
Complete returns of the labor needs
are expected by August 10 and when
the estimates made at that time are
tabulated supplement list OF quotas
will be issued State directors of the
employment service We're instructed
today to begin Immediately the ap-
portioning of the state quotas among
the local districts.
In the industrial states the quotas
announced tonight average about five
per cent of the estimated number of
men not in military service or al
ready engaged In war work, agricul-
ture, mining or transportation. In
western and southern agricultural
states, the average per centage is
somewhat higher, as allowance has
been made for untitled labor needs
