THE SERPENT IN THE
 VALLEY GARDEN

'I want you to see my garden" said Malley. the mayor of Don Luis, to the newspaper man the other day. And SO these two went out and viewed the rows and clusters of green in the Nal ey yard. There were radishes and lettuce and tomatoes and a lot of other things. Malley was proud of his garden Most gardeners are af- hicted in the same way. but when a man pays the Warren district falt meter rate for water for gardens, he has more than a passing right to be proud. Most amateur gardeners of this district utilize mine water for ir- rigation purposes or buy their vege- tables in the open market.
 Malley prowled around through that garden on his hands and knees like A Yank in No Mans land. He pulled a radish and dilated upon its size and beauty. He garnered an armful or lettuce and called attention to its crisp abundance, T1hird crop 9sserted Malley. He patted the leaves of every green thing within reach and waved his arms and made OratiOn upon the abundance of his harvest. Neither the drouth. the desert. or the devil could dismay him in the matter of his war garden.
 When the newspaper man got ready to go he went to the door to bid Mrs. Malley goodbye. She beckoned him into the house Smiling she leaned over and whispered. Ask him about his beans.'
 The newspaper man went back 10 the Malley garden and caught the head of the house of Malley brushing bug from a beet. Just in front Of nm a slender vine reared it's head nigh above @ seven foot stick about which its graceful tendrils clung Pretty little red flowers dotted it and speckled it all the way from the ground to its highest altitude Nearby was another

and yet another Of these lowered vines clinging to their carefully set poles.
 What are those pretty flowers, Mir. Malley," asked the newspaper man. pointing to the vines. They surely adorn your garden. You mix beauty and utility in fair proportions. I see"
 "Oh go or with you" replied MalIey with a grin, you've been talking to tho wife,
 Some one had sold Malley seed for flower beans and he had planted and tended and watered and watched for beans and been given the bright red flowers instead. There is always a serpent in the garden.

 the total length of the voyage neces- sary to bring these supplies to the European allies.
 He said a program had been agreed upon regarding different commodities required to maintain health and com fort He appealed to the United States for continued economy. MT. HOover's statement says:
 T am well satisfied with results from the conferences of food con- trollers. These conferences were call ed at my request with a view to the formulation of policies and programs. An agreement has been reached as to policies which will effect a great measure of coordination in the pur- chase and transportation of supplies during the coming year and in the equitable distribution, and a program has been agreed upon as to the differ ent commodities that are required not only to maintain the health but iac comfort of the army and civil popula- tiOns. The peoples of North America are this year able to take upon their shoulders the movement of the great bulk of food supplies required and it will therefore be possible to curtail the total length of voyage necessary to bring these supplies to the Euro pean allies, thus effecting a consider able saving in tonnage.
 "The great transportation problem within the next year is to move sui- ficient American troops into Europe to give an OverpOwering strength against any forces the Germans may be able to bring to bear, and in order to accomplish this, economy in con sumption is imperative in all the allied countries.
 "On the other hand, the danger of privaticn now Is passed. In the United States we have need. for continued rigid economy in consumption, so that we may meet the increased demands from Europe and to enable Us to carry over from this more abundant harvest year a stock of foOdstuffs
 Arrangements have been made by the four food controllers not only to cover these matters of policy. but also to provide for the erection of ma chinery for continuous supervision Of the necessary operations. The food council which is a body that has just been created, will be maintained in continuous session.
 With the consummatiOn of the work initiated at this conference, there will be a universal war bread of better quality than last year for all those fighting Germany. and this bread practically without rationing. There will be ample supplies of fats and meat if our populations are ecOnomi- cal and avoid waste. We will be able to build up some stocks of cereals against the next harvest
 The coal miners of Europe are now at the front; consequently, this next winter will be a period of great suffering in Europe through a short age Of coal. If the people can have liberal supplies of bread, meats and fats. there can be no fear of the mOr- ale among the civil populations of the European allies. The promise of thi, has lifted a load of fear from the minds of the people principally in l France and Italy lt now remains foS our people to make good and as usual !. we have the resources to do it."

 Special attention was given the sub ject of sabotage. or direct action, and for nearly a month Claude R. Porter, special prosecutor. and MT Nebeker read into the records l. W. W. printed

 To this and other testimony the de- fense replied that the organization was not responsible for the acts of indi- vidual members. that violence was never advocated by Haywood, Vincent St. John, his predecessor4n office, and the member of the executive board
 "If you were buying some silk from a drygoods clerk who happened to be an l. w. w." said MT.

To so inform you is practicing sabotage against the em- ployer. Yet it is aiding humanity"
 Some of the score or more defurrse witnesses testified that while the I. V. W. was strongly opposed to the draft act they did not enter into a conspir- acy to oppose it, and that strikes about the country were intended only to improve working conditions and had no bearing on the war

Mrs. Joseph Grogan of Warren
 opened a little black leather note book and To. there between the leaves. gleaming blood red against the white. were three petals of the poppy. Pressed, faded, shrunken, withered, they were, but the blood red glow re- mained the same For this poppy, be it understood, was picked in Flanders fields by George GrOgan. a brotheT-in- law of the lady in Warren.
 Was ever such a wonderful and compelling and thrilling tale as this come out of France. withal that it is so short and simple! For, be it understood. most tales that come from France these days are sad and stern and laden with sorrow. But this tale. even if it has to do with red pOppies from Flanders battle field, is neither sOmbre nor drenched with blood. It Is the carol of the lark in the little verse above, rather than the smoke of the shell.
 George Grogan had fought all day in Flanders fields, and when the twi- light came to usher in the dark and hide the suffering and the awesOme sights of that field, George Grogan, ut- terly wearied, laid him down where the end of the fight found him, and went of to sleep. When he awoke the first tint of the dawn was in the air and he rubbed his eyes, grimy with powder stains, and looked about him There, close by his head. gleaming in the green of the grass. was a bright red poppy It had nodded all night just above his head. lulling him to sleep with it's heavy laden breath. Its blood red leaves there in the meadow bending above the white still face of the Irish soldier boy, were a token of a great day past and a greater tomor- row, aflame with the valOr of the Irish in world old game, and not an omen of the ebbing tide of life.
 And Grogan reached forth his hand and plucked that flower and put it away in his tunic, and later he sent | it to his brothers wife in Arizona. l And the day he plucked the flower was i the day his brothers wife bid his ] brother goodbye here in Bisbee when ! he went away to jcin his kin in Fland- : CTS fields where peoples grow. And l Mrs. Grogan keeps the petals of the l poppy, in spite of their ill Omened | color. as a token of hope and not of 1 sorrow. Please God that | Joe GrOgan. like his brother George, l shall awaken and pick a poppy after lying down to sleep in Flanders fields. ]

Some one asked this column yesterday as to its opinion on the status of the war on the western front at this time, and this column replied to the effect that its opinion on said war conditions was about as valu- able and reliable as the views of the office boy on the same subject. Never since the war began have the purposes of the com rnanders been shrouded in such mystery as at present. Will Foch strike again? Who can tel? He has been stopped on the Nesle and on the Chaulnes line and has since made no determined effort to advance. Will the Germans counter attack? They have not made determined counter stroke on a large scale since the crown prince was checked July l5. The condition of Luden- dorff's armies is not known. They may be weakened and shattered from the pound ing to which they have been subjected, and again they may be ready for big drive. That the past week marks the calm before the storm no one doubts. But one guess Is as good as another as to who will strike first and when. Well informed critics ex- pect Foch to strike first and they firmly be- lieve he can break the Vesle and Chaulnes fronts whenever he makes real effort The full fruits of the Marne and Somme victories will not be realized until these fronts are broken.

Sugar ThieUes

We are prone to condemn and denounce
 the profiteers during war times, but how
 about the food hoarders? One Is just as
 bad as the other, although he works on
 smaller scale. The average working man
 and householder and clerk and office man
 will raise his voice to the big blue skies to
 damn the profiteer, and yet he and his wife
 will conspire together and commit perjury
 to secure sugar for their household. It Is
 being done by many people right here in
 the Warren district day after day. The ac-
 tual intent and damage may not be so bad,
 but the spirit of the thing, the habit, the
 trend of these methods, all are against the
 conduct of the war. They dull the bright,
 sharp American edge. They are on the wrong side of the great question. Are you doing your best to win the war? Sugar Is scarce in the land. The government has proclaimed strict regulations in its use. Stores, hotels and households all over the land are living up to these regulations to the letter Unselfish men and women are taking their allowance of sugar and no more and are making the best of it. And in their midst are thoughtless or selfish or careless or vicious men and women who are securing sugar by deceit and strategy and bluff and hoarding it. They are getting more than their share In way they are slack CTS. They are dodgers. They are tories. They are shirkers. They are too cheap and contemphble and selfish to bear the least hardship or make the least sacrifice for the war. Bah It is disgusting, this petty sub fo I ,l2f Instance after instance has come to the knowledge of the Phelps Dodge store here in Bisbee where people have secured cer- tificate from the county food inspector for twenty pounds of sugar upon the represen- tation that they desire to use for canning fruit The ideal Who IS going to can fruit in any quantities in this district at the pres ent prices for all kinds of fruit and for sugar, and then do without sugar for reg ular household necessities in the bargain. And while they get twenty pounds of sugar upon this subterfuge, other families get their regular two pounds per person a month and make the best of it uncomplain- ingly and steadfastly, because 1t Is all in the days work of winning this war The Phelps Dodge store people declare that hundreds and hundreds of pounds of sugar have been secured in this way People who are doing this kind of thing surely do not stop and think how reprehensible IS their conduct. It must be carelessness as well as selfish ness and cheap chicanery Most folks want to do what Is decent and right, and fair. Think 1t over, you sugar hoarder and dodger, and come through clean on all the rules of this great and terrible game of national war for existence. And then you can look the world in the face without shame and without inward self reproachl

An Important Company
 Decision

The decision of the Phelps Dodge corpo- ration to no longer deduct Phelps Dodge store accounts from the wages of its em- ployes after October l is good move and
 in the right direction. It has many things to commend it to the majority of the peo- pie in the Warren district and in Douglas where its effects will be felt the most. In the first place 1t will have a decided tend ency to promote thrift and saving in the families of the miners and employees gen orally. A charge account Is a curse as well as blessing, for it encourages eXtrava- gance. Then 1t places the company store upon an exactly even footing with the other stores of the communities. Phelps Dodge employees, buying for cash, can and will go where they can get the best bar gains. his will make more than little difference in their monthly bills. In other words the store that advertises and presents the best bargains has better than an even chance to get the business, while Tn the past the bulk of the buyers simply went to the company store regardless of prices else where. The mining company collected bills for the mercantile company. That was all there was to 1t.
 Plenty of advance notice has been given so the employees may be enabled to save some money between now and October ] and thus face the change from credit 10 cash for necessities. The war has been great teacher of thrift People must econ omize and look ahead. War prices upon necessities imposes the habit of thrift in all things And the conditions of the war have had much to do with the decision to abolish as far as possible the old company store plan in existence in Arizona for many years It has served its turn, and 1t has been useful turn. It has kept prices down in the past and insured against abnormal charges for necessities and guaranteed com plete stocks of goods in every camp. But with the growth of camp to city the inn perative need for the company store be- comes much less. It IS an important move and affects the district directly and in no small way, but it should entail no hardship, even at first, upon those who prepare for it, and in the end will result in much good to both the individual buyer and the busi- ness interests of the district in general. Henceforth the company store stands upon its own feet as a business institution in the community without undue aid from the mining company. Every company employe is free to buy where he pleases and estab- fish his own credit by means of his thrift and steady habits and good reputation for pay the same as any other citizen. This move will also add another of the many recent blows against the old charge of com pany control of business and affairs in the district Hereafter the mines will be used simply to mine copper and offer employ ment to those who wish to work, and that is all The company store will go after business the same as any other store and have no advantages in the way of securing that business that any other store does not have.

General Crowder, when asked by the military committee of the senate as to the heavy artillery situation in America replied that 1t was uncertain. Asked about the air
 plane situation he shook his head and re- piled that it looked bad. After more than a year of delay and confusion and mistakes these two vital war problems remain un- solved. All others seem in fair way to success Recent dispatches narrated how the German planes were flying in flocks across the American front and bombing positions and yet the English and French have the mastery of the air on their fronts. We have shipped few planes to France, as to exactly how many the public does not know If we have shipped any heavy guns the fact has not been given out. The time for excuses for our failure to deliver air planes and heavy artillery to France in tell ing quantities and qualities has about
