the meetings and every phaze of
the food question and the saving
of wheat, meat, sugar and fat is
being made clear. Miss Stillwell
is demonstrating the substitutes
for these four essentials and is driv-
ing home the fact that in order to
win the war, we must feed our
army and the allies.

State Game and Fish Commissioner
Avery and the Public Safety Com
mission in regard to the fishing
business in this section recently
sanctioned by the state during the
war. Some assurances in regard
the immediate future of commercial
fishing is looked for as the fisher
men feel that they cannot incurr
the necessary large expenses in
placing this food product on the
market without some assurances
as to time allowed them in which
to fish. AS the lakes to be utilized
are considerable distances from the
market, it means considerable out
lay for ice, transportation, etc.
The saving the waste policy of
removing the large rough fish from
the lakes and thus allowing the
little ones to grow bigger, will also
be advocated by the committee.
The successful fishing of lakes for
propagation is constantly being
demonstrated and it stands to rea-
son that fish farming is just as nee
cessary as hog farming in order to
be successful. The men named
are representatives of the Ely Com
mercial Club and while away Mr..
James will also attend meeting of
the Thousand Lakes of Minnesota
Club"

GUARANTEED WHEAT
PRICES TO STAND
UNTIL JUNE, 1920

The guaranteed price of wheat for
the 1919 crop stands by the terms of
the Lever act, under which the United
States food administration is operat-
ing, until June /. 1920. This statement
of more than ordinary interest to the
wheat growers of the Salt River val
ley and Arizona in general, was made
yesterday by the federal food admin
istration for Arizona.
The presidents proclamation of Sep
TENDER ., 1918. stated that the pro
ducers of wheat within the United
States for the crop of 1919
are guaranteed the prices therein set
forth, s2.26 per bushel at Chicago, and
the end of the war or the proclama-
ton of peace does not in any way af-
rect this guarantee.
Section "A of the Lever act says:
That the provisions of this act shall
cease to be in effect when the exist
ing state of war between the United
States and Germany shall have ter
minated, and the fact and date of
such termination shall be ascertained
and proclaimed by the president; but
the termination of this act shall not
affect any act done. or any obligation
accruing or accrued" etc.
1t is this last clause above quoted.
and the further statement that "all
rights or liabilities under this act,
arising before its termination, shall
continue and may be enforced in the
same manner as if the act had not
terminated" that makes good the
guarantee for the 1919 wheat crop
until June ], 1920.
