DESERTERS FROM US NEVER ID BE
 ALLOWED II
 RETURN HOME

Maricopa county's deserters from the national army will find that every avenue of ingress into the land which they fled to escape military service is effectually closed to them. In compliance with instructions from Provost Marshal General Crowder, the local draft board yesterday placed list of men from this. county who have earned this onerous distinction in the hands of the department of justice for this purpose.
 The compilation of the list shows there are 116 former residents of this native land from this cause, Never again will these men be permitted to return to this country it is declar- edIf they should elude the vigilance of the border officials they will have but small chance of escaping the sys- tenn which has been built up for the express purpose of apprehending those who fled during the nations peril.
 Classified as deserters are those who failed to register; those who registered and neglected or refused to respond to calls to appear before the local board, and those who dis i sappeared after qualifying for service. Those men who failed to return ques- tionnaires or neglected to appear for their physical examinations on dates specified are also defined as desert CTS in the instructions of the provost marshal, and will be dealt with ac- cordingly.
 Many are already regretting their rash move. They are finding that even the inhabitants of the favorite have of refuge, Mexico, are disposed , to treat them with scorn and con- tempt. tna letter to a friend here, a member of the "slacker'' colony at Chihuahua whose name is suppressed in deference to his family, gives an idea of the conditions there.
 Appealing for assistance, he writes:
 If ycu have any old clothes to spare, please send them to me. Most any thing will do. Shoes cost $25 Der pair. Hats, coats, pants, etc, are just as high and I am in rags and have to go hungry lots of times. Work is awful scarce and wages are poor. Anything yCu can do for me will he appreciated

START 0F PUBLIC WORK ID
 MAKE MANY JOBS
Secretary Baker Wires Arizona coun- cil of Defense to Advance Improve ments to Employ Returning Men.

Urging the necessity of forward ing all plans for public and private construction and other work which will provide places for men who have been in the service of the nation, in crder that the labor situation during the period of demobilization may be passed with the least possible busi- ness disturbance, the Council of Ma tional Defense has urged the Arizona State Council of Defense to present this plan to the authorities and indi- viduals throughout the state. The wire suggesting this plan reads:
 ''The United States Employment Service and labor representatives in War Industries board both expect a surplus of labor and shortage of jobs during the late winter. For that req son it is necessary that you put out a publicity campaign in your state ask ing states, counties and municipalities to begin all possible construction at once in order to furnish work.
 Jobs for the JobIess
 The vital necessity of this stimu- lation of all kinds of construction
 work so that there may be jobs for the jobless is further emphasized in the following telegram from the prior. ities division of the war industries board:
 ''EEffective January 1: All rules and regulations and directions of every nature whatsoever issued by | the priorities division of the war in. dustries board are hereby cancelled
 and all pledges heretofore made on
 suggestion or request of the said pri critics division of the war industries board are hereby cancelled and all p,edges heretofore made on sugges, tion or request of the said priorities division are hereby revoked)
 (Signed) BERNARD M BARUCH.' .' This releases all restrictions cn building by the first of the year and | indicates that everything will be done
 which can be done to facilitate con- struction of all kinds. This should bring great activity in building rang. ing from the construction Of homes to the most elaborate state, county and municipal improvements.

CLAIM ARIZONA SCHOOL
 SYSTEM IS ANTIQUATED

Phoenix, Dec. 24.-That the school laws of Arizona are antiquated and inefficient is the almost unani- nous decision Of the leading educa- tcrs of the state. So there is to be offered to the January legislature at least enc bill that will seek to find 2 better system, even though it may need reference to the reople at the next general election.
 The first point of attack is to De tho state board Of education, new com. ~osed of ex-officio members, such as the governor, who are declared to rave no place Cn the body or to be too busy in their own offices to give the b0ard the attention it deserves, or schc2' officials, who naturally view all t ines according tc their own school iT-0rests, or personal ap- rcintees Of the werner, who % things just as tho governor directs that they be dCne.

CONFESS KILLING BUT:EACH PUTS BLAME UPON
 THE OTHER

Williams, Ariz., Dec. 25.-Edward ing held for the murder of Ed Duffy, we'll known Williams merchant, last Friday night, have admitted that they were the men who had attempt ed the robbery of the Duffy Bros. store. Each accuses the other of having fired the fatal shot which end ed Duffy's life.
 Under Sheriff Frank Fairchild and Tom Eakins yesterday brought Sickles, the first man captured, back to Williams from Flagstaff. Earl Bailey, who was caught in cave 15 miles rom Ash Fork Sunday, had all ready been lodged in the Williams jail.
 Questioned as to their motives in the attempted robbery, the two Dan- dits said they were in need of new shoes and clothing, and had intended to help themselves. The murder of Ed Duffy was the outcome.
 They also admit that they are the men responsible for the robbery of the Babbit-Polson store at Kingman shortly before they came to Williams 1, This is where they got the automatics and ammunition found in their po- session.
 Sickles, who is but 19 years of age | is mild looking fellow of light com. plextion, and is believed to be weak minded. Bailey, who is 23 years old is reserved and stubborn and has little to say.
 | The cave in which Bailey was cap. tured by w. K. Brown, with the assist , was fitted puwith bedding, etc., and provisioned for long stay. A quarter of beef and other articles of food were cund, as well as guns and am mutnition.
 Ed Duffy, well known resident of Williams, and one of the members of the firm of Duffy Bros., general mer chandise dealers of this city, was mur dered in his store Friday night. Duffy was sleeping in the store, as was his custom. About 10 o'clock he heard a noise and, going to the door to investigate, waconfronted by two men who were attempting to enter the place. In the struggle which followed Duffy was shot and killed by one of. the burglars.

Posses from four counties are today searching the mountains of southern Arizona along the border in an effort to capture two convicts who escaped from the state penitentiary at Flor ence Monday night, kidnapped the young daughter of a Pnal cattleman and with another woman are making their way into Mexico with a stolen automobile.
 The ,kidnaped girl is Laura Fore man, IT years old, daughter of Arthur Foreman, rancher near Florence, and a note which she dropped ad- dressed to John Buck of Greaterville, and asking for help furnished the first clue to the whereabouts of the party.

Wun- der alias Frank Warden, a burglar sent up from Maricopa county, and Emmett McDaniels, convicted horse thief from Douglas, had been honor men" for some weeks, but fled Monday night in high-powered tentiary garage. Going to the Fore man hone they abducted the girl and are said to have picked up a woman from Phoenix at a rendezvous agreed upon.

 QUANTITY OF BEEF

London, February 22.--(Corras- pondence Associated Pr,";s. )-1ntro- ducng the army estimates in the house of commons, the under secretary of state for war said the army was consuming three times as much im- ported meat as the whole population before the war. During 1917 the fol- lowing had been purchased: S4,000,- 900 pounds 0 ftaa. TIT 100000 pounds of sugar, 14500000O tins of condens- ed milk. 100000 pounds of cigaret- tes and 25,O00,C0o yards of textiles.

states in the campaign now being waged for greater production of food and feedstuffs in the South.
 ".At two meetings of the Farmers union presidents and market commits sioners. and also the agricultural com missioners of the various Southern States, held in New Orleans in Janu- ary, it was recognized that the most important of all questions now pend ing is the productio nof food neces- sary to carrying on the war the feed ing of our armies, the armies of the allies, our civil population and the populations of the allies-that all other matters must give way to this imperative necessity
 "We simply cannot win unless the food question is promptly and prop erly coped with. Much has been said in the public press, by speakers and officials from Washington about Southern food crops. and while these sayings have not given us proper credit for what we have actually ac complished, there is need for still more strenuous efforts to assist in meeting the crisis which now con fronts the nation.
 History records no instance in which the South has failed to do her share of patriotic duty, full measure and running over. and we are certain that it needs only that the truth be put before her people to secure their cooperation.
 No Time to Re Lost.
 "We may not have been a fOod-pro, ducing country. but we can and will be producers of food to the full ex tent of our duty in protecting the na tion. The period is too short to cal meeting or convention of the eX changes. As suggested to us by the Augusta Cotton Exchange, no time should be lost as the next two weeks will largely determine the acreage oi foodstuffs in the South.
 For that reason, we urge that the cotton exchanges and other commer cial bodies of the South immediatel, put themselves in communication witf the Farmers union presidents anf culture in their respective states and that each and every farmer be com municated with. Let the slogan be Food and Foodstuffs Full and Run ming Over"
 Where necessary. let all else stand aside that our people may do thei, part in feeding their families, theil boys who are now facing death for them, and their allies who are sacri ficing their all. that they and theil children may continue to enjoy the blessings of liberty of thought, word and action.
 I've know if you appeal to your people. history will repeat itself, that individual interests will give way tc the necessities of the whole and 1t will

the many equines that have been
seen and were to have started be-
fore the regular close of the meet

the competition. which will be ex-
pected shortly, in view of an appar-
ent betterment of the general influ-
enza situation. Realizing the serious
ness of the disease here. the horse
men have taken the ruling of the
health department wisely. and they
will have their charges in the best
of condition when they're off again

Every stable will remain at the

whole. are a patriotic lot, as evinced
by the manner in which they have
responded to the fourth liberty bond

health department will allow the
sport to be continued just as soon
as the influenza grip has been
1oosened.
