IN this matter stands out even moro
clearly If we bear in mind that We had
available in the fiscal year 1016-17
from net carry-over and as surplus
over our normal consumption about
200 1000, 900 bushels Of wheat which We
were able to export that year without
trenching on our home lOaf," Mr..
Hoover said. ''This last year, however,
owing to the large failure of the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net
carry-over and production and imports
only Just about our normal consump-
tion. Therefore our wheat shipments
to Allied destinations represent ap-
proximately savings from our own
wheat bread.
.sThese figures, however, do not fully
convey the volume of the effort and
sacrifice made during the past year
by the whole American people. De-
snite the magnificent effort of our agri-
cultural population in planting a much
increased acreage in 1917, not only was
there very large failure in, wheat,

argue with him some time before he
would even direct me to it. Of course
l had no passport and this made him
suspicious Of me.
The officer in charge of the station
was no warmer in his welcome than
the gendarme, and this surprised me,
because Murray and Brown had no
trouble at all in joining. The French,
of course. often speak of the Foreign
Legion as "the convicts," because so
many legionaries are wanted by the
police Of their respective countries,
but criminal record never had been
a bar to service with the legion, and I
did not see why it should be now-if
they suspected me Of having one. I
had heard there were not few Ger
mans in the legion-later on I became
acquainted with sOme-and believe
me, no Alsatian ever fought harder
against the Huns than these former
Deutschlanders did. It occurred to
me then that IL they thought I was
q German, because had no passport.
I might have to prove I had been in
trouble with the kaiser's crew before
they would accept me. I do not know
what the real trouble was, but solved
the problem by showing them my dis
charge papers from the American
navy. Even then, they were suspicious
because they thought I was too young
to have been q G. p. o. When they
challenged me on this point, said I
would prove it to them by taking an
examination. .......
They examined me very carefully.
In English, although I know enough
French to get by on subject like
gunnery. But foreign officers are very
proud Of their knowledge Of English
and most of them can speak it-and I
think this one wanted to show off. as
you might say. Anyway, I passed my
examination without any trouble,
was accepted for service in the For
eign Legion and received my commits
sion as gunner, dated Friday, January
l, 1915.
There is no use in my describing the
Foreign Legion. It is one Of the, most
famous fighting organizations in the
world, and has made q wonderful rec
ord during the war. When joined La
Legion, it numbered about 10000 men.
Today it has less than 5000. They
say that since August, 1914, the legion
has been wiped out three times, and
that there are only few men still in
service who belonged to the original
legion. believe it to be true. In
January Of this year the French gov
ernment decided to let the legion die.
I was sorry to hear it. The legion.
naires were a fine body of men, and
wonderful fighters. But the whole
civilized world is now fighting the
Huns, and Americans do not have ia
enlist with the French or the Limeys
any longer.
But one thing about the legion, tina,
I find many people do not know, Is tha,
the legionnaires are used for either
land or sea service. They are sent wher
ever they can be used. l 90 not know

OUR SAVED FOOD
FED The ALLIES
Food Administrator Writes PresI-
dent America Conserved 141,.
100000 Bushels Wheat.
CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN
Meat and Fat shipmsnts Increased BY
s44,soo, 900 Pounds.

Conservation measures applied b.
the American people enabled the Unit.
ed States to ship to the Allied peoples
and to our own forces overseas al.
100000 bushels of wheat and 844 200. ;
600 pounds Of meat during the past
year, valued in al at $1,40O, ,000, 900.
This was accomplished in the face Of q
serious food shortage In this country,
bespeaking the wholeheartedness and
patriotism with which the American
people have met the food crisis abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, in let
ter to President Wilson, explains how
the situation was met. The voluntary
conservation program fostered by the
Food Administration enabled the piling
up of the millions of bushels of wheat
during 1917-19 and the shipment of
meat during 1918.
The total value of all food ship
ments to Allied destinations amounted
to $1,4OO,OOO,OOO, all this food being
bought through or In collaboration
with the Food Administration. These
figures are all based on official reports
and represent food exports for the
harvest year that closed June 80, 1913.
The shipments of meats and fats
(including meat products, dairy prod
ucts, vegetable oils, etc., to Allied des-
tinations were as follows:
Fiscal year 1861. >. 2, ,168, 500, 900 lbs.
Fiscal year 1917-18. q, 3,011, 100, 900 lbs.

Increase ........... S44, 600 600 lbs.
Our slaughterable animals at the be-
ginning of the last fiscal year were not
appreciably larger than the year be-
fore and particularly In hogs; they
were probably less. The increase in
shipments is due to conservation and
the extra weight Of animals added By
our farmers. .n. ~
The full effect Of these efforts began
to bear their best results in the last
half of the fiscal year, when the e1-
ports to the Allies were 2,133, ,1OO, 900
pounds, as against 1.268, 500, 900 pounds
In the same period Of the year before.
This compares with an average Of

the same half years in the three-year
pre-war period.

ADJUSTMENTS
Lust of the Aoes-

Hailed as one of the most unusual photoplay productions of the year.
 The Lust of the Ages" direct from its extraordinary New York run, will be shown at the Columbia theater to- day only.
 The Ogden Pictures corporation, the producers of "The Lust of the Ages" nave inaugurated a program of eight releases for Miss Walker with a photo attraction that has been pronounced by the trade critics to mark a new era in the silent drama.
 The Lust of the Ages'' 'is built along the lines of a tremendous, spec tacular production with nevertheless a story that is gripping and intense to the extreme. The play depicts the unholy alliance of wealth that results in the destruction of all that is good in man. In line with. it's policy to re- lease only extraordinary attractions the Ogden Pictures corporation have spared neither time nor expense in the staging of this production. Every element that tends toward a successful cinema attraction enters into this pro- duction. Pulsating with heart interest and pathos and a strong trend of humor characteristically portrayed in the acting of Miss Walker, wonderful scenic effects with the employment of thousands of sheep, tremendous sets, together with a love theme that would delight the hearts of young and old, all tend to make ''The Lust of the Ages" a most unusual photo drama.
 It was with some difficulty that the manager of the Columbia theater final ly located this picture which was lost somewhere between Superior and Los Angeles and it will be shown for sure Saturday.

DATECREEKDAM PROJECT ID AID
 REPRODUCTION
Impounding Scheme Expect
 ed to Add 10000 Acres To Productive Area of State-Work We'll Along

Within this year, 10000 acres of ex- cellent land will be added to Arizona's irrigated area. It lies 20 miles west of Congress Junction and is to be watered by a remarkable project ba sed upon dam across the channel of Date Creek where that stream flows through a box canyon only 24 feet wide at normal water level.
 The dam already is well along to- ward completion, the work done with out appeal for publicity. It has been built up from bedrock which was go feet deep, and it's crest now is about 10 feet above the canyon floor level, al- ready developing an underground flow of 1o0 miners inches. Present plans are to carry the dam up to 80 feet in height. At that level the crest will be only 102 feet long, so precipitous are the walls of the gorge. Though it is planned to raise the dam, eventually to l50 feet, the 80-foot structure would serve to impound 12,000 acre feet of water. For two seasons of the year, Date Creek is a torrent for weeks at a time. It has drainage area of 400 square miles, in a region where the average rainfall is Is inches per an- mum. Thus it is expected that the iOsIl Oli NiSdlSu NOulu Dc IIlOTe Indn filled in the winter and summer floods.
 Below the dam lies an almost un- limited area of level land, without all kali, with almost enough rainfall for dry farming. It is hoped to put about l2.000 acres in crop this year Condi- tions, with an altitude of 2,200 feet, are especially favorable for the growth of alfalfa, grains and root crops. Last year, without irrigation, 100-acre tract gave return of s161 an acre from potatoes of such high quality that they brought 5 a hundred.
 The project has been under way for several years past, but only lately has had any prominence, through applica- ton made to the surveyor general of Arizona for the plating of severa, townships of land. It is being financed by the Alamos Land and Irrigation company, Prescott corporation, head l. ed by ". T. Sawyer and including for mer United States Attorney R. E. Nor rlson.

 Panic in 1rheater

Some lunatic in the Anuzu yelled "Fire" last night and immediately there was an incipient panic. Wom- on and children screamed and the crowd was on its feet, hesitant for a moment, preparatory to a rush for the doors. J. K. Mccarthy of Flor enes was sitting in tho back part of the house. He did not know whether there was a fire or not but he knew that in any event that was not good way to empty the house. Standing up and in voice for which he is noted he yelled: "Sit dow~! Damn you, sit down!"
 Jne. man was about to pass him whom Mr. Mccarthy, who is not nat uraIly or habituaIIy profane, swo, . at him and ordered him to be seated. Tho crowd in the meantime was re- assured, or partially reassured, and stopped long enough to sec whether there was a fire or not. None was visible and then the audience was again seated and tho show wont on.
 Now and then there is nice story about theater panic being stopped by some thoughtful actor striking up a patriotic song. Perhaps that is better than swearing, but Mir.
