out the country and towns of the coun- ty, being provided with an automobile for meeting her demonstration engage ments and making her visits.
 An extract from the report of Miss Imogene Nicely of Maricopa county dur ing her last 10 months work as home demonstration agent will show that this kind of work is extremely practical and indispensable in all counties of the state.
 Since beginning work August 26. 1917, in Maricopa county and ending my work June 1, 1918, I have helped organize 23 farm bureaus with an act i've woman's committee of three in each community. These organizations are very much alike and are doing splendid work. Three definite projects were started and completed, with the fol- lowing results; wheat saving, using all kinds of wheat substitutes as breads, cereals and pastry, 27,000 pounds of wheat were saved in two months by the country women of Mari copa county. A fat and sugar saving project was begun and completed with enormous savings. Owing to the busy season when this project was complet- ed, l was not able to get a definite and complete report on this work A third project. on canning and drying was be- gun May IS, and completed July 1. Thirty-siX demonstrations were given demonstrating 10th subjects. One can nery was organized at Glendale, details figured out and the cannery put into operation with a trained, paid super visor. This is a cooperative move ment and is under the direct supervision of the Glendale farm bureau. The sur plus fruit is being canned for the market. It will also help to remove labor conditions because the farmers 1 and housewives are very busy with | other phases of farm life just at this time. A food saving organization in the city of Phoenix was also inaugural ed and 1,500 letters were prepared and sent out regarding both movements.
 Some special work was done this year in food saving and the use of substitutes among the Indian, Mexican and Italian women. The subjects that I have demonstrated in the ten months that have been in the Salt River val ley, are, drying, canning, preserving making jelly, winter gardening, poultry | growing, nutrition, home management l dietetics Especial work in invalid cook cry and food for growing children)
 Salt River valley is an ideal place | in which to work and 1 have enjoyed ! every moment spent in this valley"

AMSTERDAM, July F. - The mili- tary contributor to the Norddeutsche Angemeine Zeitung. evidently writing from official inspiration. discusses Secretary Bakers announcement on troops overseas.
 His arguments are similar to those of Lieut. Gen. Won Ardenne. who. in the Dusseldorf Nacbrichten last Tues day, asserted that he did not believe the figures of American man power and that numbers do not count, any how.
 Deny Truth of Figures
 "We are unable to verify the accu- racy of Secretary Bakers figures However. they are only intended te throw dust in the eyes of the world The large number claimed for the las three months seems to us quite impos. sible in view of the shortage of enemy tonnage" says the contributor.

When Everybody Gets Worrying.


Last week during a couple of
warm days, we heard a number of
persons complaining bitterly about
the warm weather and hoping that
it would cool off says the editor of
the Usage Press. In one or Two
Instances we had heard the saE>S
people complaining about the cool
weather less than a week previous
and wishing that it might be warm.
If one will note in the summertime
there are certain people who are
complaining all the time-and those
certain people include about two
thirds the entire population. The
majority of people are natural cal
esamity howlers. A few days Of dry
weather will get everybody worry
ing. The exereme dryness will be
the chief topic OF conversation and
the damage threatened thereby will
be magnified tenfold. Then a few
days of wet weather will follow
Q and the danger becomes just as
great the other way. 1t is a dis
agreeable habit, and if, as a nation
1T could be overcome, America
would be that much better off.
