CONSERVATION STRENGTHENS
 THE MORALES OF ALLIES

The enormous importance to the morale of our allies of a continued supply of meat and wheat from America was emphasized by Mir. Hoo. yer at the recent conference of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense in Washington. His statement brought vividly to the minds of the delegates the connection be. tween their own efforts toward the conservation of food and the great is- sues facing our allies abroad. Mir Hoover said:
 "The meat question has been and remains a serious one. The English found themselves confronted by a critical situation and had to reduce their consumption to one and one fourth pounds per week per capita as against a normal consumption of about three pounds. Now they are able to increase the ration. That has been not only of physical importance but of enormous importance to the morale of the nation because with the short bread and meat ration ex- isting in the early part of March if some alleviation could not have been had in the face of the Encouragement of the German drive, the results might have been serious"
 q like to think that my state help ed to make possible the increase in the English ration," said one of the chairmen in discussing MT. Hoover's talk. And why should I not think so, since our women have followed the instructions of the food pledge card, have planted gardens, canned and pre- served. In thousands of our homes a complete revolution has been made in the family diet, so that there might be a saving in the food stuffs that are needed by our allies abroad. l am going home now and tell our women that they must put all their energy into the saving of wheat, since the wheat loaf has become a symbol of life of all western European nations.' We are not to feel that we can abandon our program of conservation because we hope for an abundant harvest. The food problem is not ended-it may be- como more severe. We cannot relax that psychology of devotion in food matters throughout the whole period of the war MT. Hoover said so and l heard him!"

MANDAMUs TAX COMMISSION

The Stejn-Boericke & Co. has brought a mandamus action against the State Tax commission for the pur- pose of having the courts pass on the matter of the right of appeal on mine tax assessment. It is held by the com mission that there is no appeal from its order and that when an arbitrary valuation is placed on mining proper ty it will have to stand. The mining company takes a different view of the matter and is asking the court to give them a hearing. Stein-Boericke & Co. is the Primos Chemical company, one of the large buyers and manufactur- CTS of tungsten and molybdenum products. It has tungsten and mOlyb- denum properties in Colorado and the Dragoon mountains of Arizona.

BEANS BOOST RED CROSS FUNDS

Mrs. W. B. Stephens Monday last turned over to c. J. Walter, of the Mohave county chapter of the Red Cross, S32 secured from the sale of a bag of beans. Mrs. Stephens believed that some one wanted beans and that the Red Cross wanted the money, so she went out and peddled off the beans with gratifying r|sults. The person who got the beans got more than their moneys worth, as the Big Sandy beans are the best in the mar ket.

SHOULD WRITE TO
 BOYS IN CAMP

This week we received the following letter from John McKesson, who is in the flying squadron at Rockwell Field, San Diego, California, which will indi- cate now the boys who have no one at the old home taking an interest in their affairs feel. To write an encour- aging letter to the boys in camp is a duty that friends owe to them and we hope that hereafter Mr. McKesson nor any of the other boys from Mo have county will have cause for com plaint in this regard:
 Rockwell Field, May 2S, 1918. To the Miner.
 Dear Sir: 1 have received several copies of the Mohave County Miner since I have become one of Uncle Sam's boys, and believe me, it sure is nice to hear from home through a home paper, especially when one very seldom hears from any one personally. I don't see why folks at home don't t write oftener to the boys in camps, as it is about the only thing that cheers us up.
 Thanks to the editor for his kind ness, as it has certainly been highly appreciated.
 Yours truly,
 JOHN F. IMPRESSION.
