SAVE WHEAT |!

By pedging themselves to bar all wheat products for
the next two months the hotels of New York and other
cities throughout the country render most timely assist
ance to the of this Nation and its Allies Not only
in the actual saving of wheat be achieved but also in
the moral effect of their conspicuous example upon other
consumers, the measures taken by them most i'm
pOrtant. Their prompt response to the Food Admins
trations appeal should influence large numbers of per-
who have been slow to realize the gravity of the
food situation.
people must increase production of fOodstuffs
as an insurance against the future For the immediate
present must reduce the consumption of wheat and
flour to the minimum 1t is upon the United States that
our Allies must depend almost entirely for their sup
plies in the existing emergency We pledged to
eve their needs Because of the time saved in transport
tatiOn send wheat to them half the time it can
be delivered from other quarters of the world.
The season is here when of food supplies
are contributing to the abundance of own markets
Americans face real privaon in any sefdenal they
may exercise They must assist the French and British
in their extremity, and way which every man. wo-
man and child in the United States give substantial
aid is by scrupulous moderation in the of bread
What the hotels generally throughout the country
bind themselves to do can be done and must be done vol
unfairly by millions of individuals from of per-
sonal duty.

APPLY THAT EXTRA HOUR TO YOUR VIC
TORY GARDEN

What are you doing with that extra hour Of daylight
that Uncle Sam has provided for your use this summer!
When the clocks of Arizona were turned ahead one
hour many city workers found their surprise that they
had gained sixty minutes in the afternoon which they
seemingly had nothing to do.
Is that hour being frttered away or is the time be-
ing employed in some manner directly or indirectly to-
ward winning the war7
Why not utilize that extra hour for the planting and
cultlvatng OF Victory Garden in your back yard
the vacant lot in your neighborhOOd?
Time is money, and this never truer than today
Time spent in your Victory Garden will mean mon
e IN your pocket that otherwise wuod have been spent
for food supplies which you could have raised Just
well as not.
Start your Victory Garden and regrets.

A YEAR OF WAR

1t year ago yesterday that went into the
war. We have gone far in that short time We have
made many mistakes along the ways have made
trace steps, but have always been going slowly
forward
We have not yet contributed much toward early
ending of the but have done thing still more
essential We have prevented it from ending disastrousy
to humanity. We have held it up pending decision
which must be favorable
The war has had more effect us than have had
yet the 1t has changed way of thinking and
way of living 1t has changed national attitude
toward the world and personal attitude toward
another has robbed of foolish, sefcomplacency
and is installing in its place intelligent seIfcondence

tcipate in it nghteousy This will leave srtong

PETE FOR SIS RECIPE PRIZE

PHOENIX. April 11-With he
wheat flour ration OF the nation cut
to six pounds per month. and with
voluntary response everywhere to
the appeal Go .wheatless until har-
vest" the federal food administra-
tor for Arizona has been flooded with
applications for no-wheat recipes
for bread.
This food of inquiry has placed
the food administration in an en-
barassing position. for there appears
to be no working formulas for strict
ly wheatless bread suitable to this
state. To correct this situation a
prize of SIS has been offered for the
best no-wheat or near-wheatless re-
ceipe for yeast bread adopted TO Ari-
IONA.
Here are the rules Of the contest:
Recipes should call for the use
OF yeast.
They should be suitable for family
baking.
They should call for cornmeal. oat.
meal. potatoes. milo maize. or feter-
tia. meal or flour. singly or in COM
bination, as the principal ingredi-
ents.
The recipes should be enclosed
with the name and address of the
sender in an envelope and mailed to
the wheatiess Bread Contest Bureau,
Federal Food Administration for Ari.
IONA. lis North Central Avenue.
Phoenix, Arizona.
Do not send samples of bread.
The contest will close April %.
1918, and all recipes received after
that date will be rejected.
The contest is open to all. House.
wives and high school and nomal
students are especially urged to
compete.
The award will be decided by a
committee of home economics ex.
perts to be named by the federal
food administrator.
The most palatable bread with the
smallest percentage of flour. wheat
flour will determine the award.
Every Arizona housewife should
consider it a patriotic privilege to
enter this contest, said State Con-
servation Chairman Fred ]. Elliott,
military operations, the severest in
history, against the allied forces in
France. have so weakened them that
the need Of wheat "oyer there has
reached the shape of a crying neces-
| Sity and the answer to their demands
through the self sacrifice of the Am
erican housewife may prove to be
the one thing needed to turn the tide
Of battle.
ITO meet the situation Mr.. HoOv-
er has decreed that the wheat con-
sumption of the country must be cut
in half. and in addition he is appeal
ing to the well-todo to set a patriotic
example by going without wheat
until the next harvest"
Many Arizona housewives. who
are willing to do their utmost in
carrying out this program will be
benefited by the formulas submit
ted in this contest, as it Is planned

LIBERTY LOAN QUOTAS
FOR VARIOUS SECTIONS

Tombstone. Ariz.. April II. 1918.
Editor. Tombstone Prospector.
Tombstone. Arizona.
Dear Sir:
The Liberty Loan Committee of
Cochise county. after careful deiiber-
alton. has decided that the quotas
of the various places in the County
will be apportioned according to the
assessed valuation Of the school dis
tricts, with the exception of Bisbee
and Douglas. This action was taken
because a large number of the COM
munities in our county have no banks
so their quotas could not be appor-
toned on their bank resources, and
still they are extremely anxious to
secure the honor flags promised by
the Government to every community
which exceeds its quota in the Third
Liberty Loan.
Bisbee is given rather a less quota
than its assessment calls for, while
Douglas Is given a larger quota. for
the reason that most OF the assess
ments of the big companies are in
Bisbee, but we understand they are
going to divide. their subscriptions
between Bisbee and Douglas. For
this reason, it was thought fair to
fix arbitrary assessments for those
two places. their combined quota.
however, being practically equal 10
what it-would be on their combined
assessment.
trust you will give this matter
due publicity so that all the districts
may know just what exact mark to
shoot for. Many of the districts will
doubtless not only get the honor nag,
but will place several stars therein.
No district is so poor but that it has
a chance to at least secure the flag.
Sincerely yours,
ALFRED C. LOCKWOOD.
Chairman Cochise County Liberty
Loan Committee.

amounts Of the various school dis
tricts at mills
