READ THE LABELS
 ON CANNED CORN

WASHINGTON, April H.-Early irosts of the past season and an in creased demand for canned corn have caused a shortage of sweet corn, which is what the housewife usually expects to get when buying canned corn" To offset this scarcity, says the bureau of chemistry. United States Department of Agriculture, some packers have canned the green or im- mature "held corn" which IS tougher and coarscr and of lower quality than the ordinary sweet corn, and have swcctcned it with sugar.
 This product, says the bureau, is not, strictly speaking, a canned corn" and the federal authorities re- quire the product to be labeled as field corn" When the product is swcctcncd with sugar this fact should also be declared upon the label. Fur chasers. and consumers are advised to read the labels on canned corn and to remember that if they arc purchas- ing swcctcncd canned field corn which has been properly canned, they are obtaining wholesome article of food. They should expect, however, that the field corn will not be of the same quality as the ordinary sweet corn and they should be compensated by not paying so much for it.
 Only d small amount of the corn grown in the country is cooked and eaten as d vegetable for human food. The original corn plant which the carly settlers in America found the Indians growing has been carefully improved by proper selection and planting until now certain special varieties which mature carly have comparatively long period in the course of their development during which the sugar content Is high and the starch content is low The tissues oi this corn are tender and succulent. This is what is known as sweet corn" or sugar corn and IS the product commonly used as a vege- table.
 Field corn when partially ripe and tender is used as a vegetable 10 a Emitted extent. The period of sweet ness in field corn is comparatively short, and there is greater tendency to toughncSS of the tissues.

 SALES OF FLOUR

PHOENIX. April 25.-In the prompt disposal of the case against Joseph Schwertner, Willcox store keeper, charged with violations of the food regulations, the federal food ad- ministration for Arizona has estab- lishcd a precedent for procedure which will insure speedy action in all such cases in the future
 Schwertner, when he came up for hearing this week before Timothy A. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona, was charged with hay ing hoarded flour and of having sold the same without substitutes as re- quircd by tho regulations, and when confronted with the possibility of a S5.Q00 fine and two years imprison- mcnt as the maximum penalty which might be inflicted he expressed hiS willingness to retire from business and dispose of his stock on hand in any manner which the food admins tration might suggest, rather than stand trial.
 Accordingly a stipulation was en- tered into whereby Schwcrtner IS i'm mcdiatcly to turn over to the gov crnmcnt his entire supply of flour and sugar. and is allowed 30 days ir which to dispose of the balance oi his stock.

CONSTRUCTION NEW ROAD WILL
 BEGIN SHORTLY
ENGINEERS EXPECT TO
 ESTABLISH CAMP NEAR JEROME AND GET BUSY ON THE BIG SHORT-LINE HIGHWAY IN FEW WEEKS

JEROME, April 25-Approxi- mately two months must elapse be- fore the survey for the new short line road between Jerome and Pres colt can. be completed, according to Division Engineer F. R. Goodman. of the State highway department.
 Goodman is in Jerome today with his assistant. Ben Ward, and they arc making preparations to establish a survey camp at Walnut springs, three miles west of Jerome Within two or three days they will have recruited a full crew of about nine men and work will then be started.
 When the new road is built it will include no grade greater than six per cent, states Goodman. Several months ago Engineer Earl Parker, representing the county engineer, made survey but it included several eight and ten per cent grades. Good man and his party will endeavor to eliminate those.
 Tt is the practice of all State high way departments to build no road with grade greater than six per cent" Goodman explained. But for this | would have no hcsitancy in follow ing Mir. Parker's stakes for he is one of the best engineers in the south west. Ono can sometimes save lit tic money by including ten per cent grades but the upkeep cost is so much greater that in the long run the bal ancc is on the other side of the ledger.
 By the line that Parker ran the distance between Jerome and Pres cctt is fraction over 5l miles. When built the road will probably be a mile longer than that"
 Goodman and Ward have put a man to work at Thompson's crossing making soundings for the new Verde bridge that is to be built this sum mcr

too old, the other too young, to be required to join up at the first call; but they were both presently ac- cepted. Both had been killed at Verdun.
 The grandmother had died, in Amicns, during the exile; privation and broken spirits had overcome her There were left the old man, his daughter-in-law, and the little girl Somehow they had lived, doing what ever offered itself, living in the poor est understanding for the day when they could go back to rebuild their home and start in the world anew. They were now on their way to 1t.
 We did not see their home; but we saw hundreds like it, destroyed as it was: little stone or brick houses standing flush with the highroad The Germans had used them to quarter troops, cutting loopholcs for machine guns. Almost every house had been the scene of hand-to-hand fight al one period or another. Hindenburg had finally ababdoncd the area. When they finally rctrcatcd, the Germans blew up the houses with great charges of explosives.
 The land was ditched and scrcd with endless trenches, flankcd by wide zones of barbcd wire Mine craters were frequent; it would have been possible to bury a respectable country church, stccplc and all, in some of them. All the surface was torn with shcll-holcs, from which the chally subsoil had been spcwcd up to cover the land and render 1t barren.
 These people had heard that the ruin of their home was still, in part standing. Ii was spring, and spring is the time of hope. The invader was rctreating. True, he was only a dozen miles or so ahead: but what of that? They were returning to their home, to reclaim their little patchwork fields, to SOW new crop, to help France feed itself another year of war.
 Such as they, thousands and thous- ands of the peasants, crowded back into the abandoned, ruined areas as fast as the Germans were pressed northward. They went to work with whatever implements they could find, or with none at all. No part of the Huns work of destruction had been SO thorough as his utter demolition of the agricultural implements.
 This fragment of family was typi- cal. Its story was the story of what savagcry means when, armed with the implements which science has put in its hands, it sets out to conquer a world.
 Liberty Bonds are civilizations pol icy against such conflagrationS.

This unit IS to be merged with others formerly purchased, in cluding the Arizona Portland and the Brown group, giving in the aggregate one block of coppcrS numbering 70 claims.
 Work is to begin on the Schuber holding inside of 30 days. Dr. L. P. Morgan has assumed the position of chief consulting engineer for the International, while w. Tovotc, until a stort time ago associated as an en- cincer with the Phelps Dodge Cor poration at the Copper Queen in Bis bee, comes to take charge of the Schubcr as consulting engineer for the buyers. Mir. Tovote is familiar with the geology of the Basin, devot- ing several months to directing work on the Commercial and gaining thereby a thorough knowledge of other mines in that field.
 Dr. Morgan stated yesterday that all interests are to be vigorously cx- plotted. and work particularly is to tc cnersctical,y carried out on tn.

JUST COULDN'T KEEP
 CURLEY IN HOOSEGOW

JEROME, April 26.-Some un- known confederate of K. l.. Reese, better known as Curly" who was arrested with an autoload of bootleg booze Sunday evening by Deputy Marshal Fred Hawkins and Police man Charles Smith, released the pris- oncr from the Clarkdalc jail last night. The sheriff's office offers a re- ward of $50 and Deputy Sheriff Bartlett offers a personal reward of S25 for the arrest of the fugitive.
 Entrance was effected to the court room of the jail by saving through the screen on the door. Then the paddock on Rccsc's cell was sawed through and the way to liberty lay open.
 Reese was last seen about , o'clock yesterday afternoon when Officer Fred Twitty locked him in. Twitty called at this morning to feed the prisoner and found that his bird had flown.
 Justice (. W. Bennett yesterday held Reese in the sum of Sl,O0O to answer to a charge of violating the liquor law. Mrs. Reese visited him at the jail and asked Twitty to hold him there until morning, stating that she would be able to raise the bail bond in the meantime.
 It is thought very unlikely that Rccsc's dclivcrer was Sam Fox, the former Jerome police officer who was his partner in the importation of four autoloads of liquor from Gallup. The officers failed to capture Fox at the time Reese was rounded up and no trace of him has been discovered since. It is believed that he Is hiding somewhere in the hills.
 Simon and E. ]. Fox. the boys who were assisting Fox and Reese on the last leg of their journey to Jerome, arc in the Jerome jail. Their bail has been fixed at $500 each.

 Of this huge sum, S2, 2,400,000,0OC represents the debt increase of the Allied nations, and S39, ,30OOOO, ,00C that of the central nations. The United States debt incurred since the country entered the war is given as $6, 00,O00,000, the standing January l.
 These figures are the most com pletc compiled for many months. The actual money cost of the war is even greater than the figures would indi- cate, since huge sums have been raised by taxation.
 Great Britain up to February lt showed an increase of S24,l7S,00O, DOC in public debt, including S,027.OO,- GOO advanced to the Allies and the dominions.
