age of cars and uncertainty of the labor
situation together with the fixed price
of wheat also contribute to the leaving
OF potato growing off the farm pro-
gram.
Eastern Acreage Not Large.
But few reports nave been received as
to the probable planting in the eastern
potato producing states, but those that
have been received indicate that the
same condition prevails there as in
Idaho. In fact, the probabilities are that
the decrease in acreage in the eastern
states will be ever greater than in Idaho,
for there are more material reasons for
such a tendency than there are here.
The farm labor shortage in the east is
more acute than in the west. Fertilizers
which are necessary for the growing of
the crop are hard to get and almost pro-
hibitive in price. Spray materials which
are required there for the potato crop
are also high priced. If yields CORE
spond to acreage this season as they did
last, mad the decrease per cent of plant
ing in the other states is as great as
in Idaho, we can look forward to a pro-
duction of potatoes in the United States
within about one million bushels of our
1916 crop. We are wasting potatoes
now. A year ago potatoes were worth
from three to four dollars per hundred.
The world needs food, and while we
probably cannot export potatoes to our
Allies next winter, we should have
enough potatoes in the United States
this coming season so that we will not
be compelled to use wheat as a substi-
tute for potatoes.
Should Cut Down Production Costs.
Growers complain = and justly sol
that the cost of growing potatoes last
year was excessive. Seed was valued at
from twenty-five to forty dollars per
acre. Labor was high. But one of the
heaviest items in the total cost of grow
ing and placing the potato crop on the
was the cost of sacks with which
to handle the crop. Where profitable
yields were obtained this amounted to
from twenty-five dollars to as high as
forty-five dollars per acre. This season
will cost probably not less than
twenty-five dollars per hundred; or, for
a profitable yielding field, from thirty
sever and one-half dollars to seventy
five dollars per acre. Even at these
prices we have no assurance that sacks
in sufficient quantity can be obtained.

DEATH D|SM|SSEs
 CHARGE OF MURDER

Dismissed by death, A. E. Chapman, will not stand trial for the murder of Richard Newton of which he was ac cused. According to unofficial word received by the attorney generals of flee, Chapman died in Globe yesterday of Spanish influenza.
 Acting as guard at the Old Dominion mine during the strike troubles in the summer of 1917, Chapman's life was threatened time and again by the strikers, it is claimed. When Newton was shot in the labor troubles he was charged with the murder, and on change of venue the case was transfer red to Judge Stanford's court Nearly SO witnesses from all over the state had been subpoenaed by the state and the defendant had also subpoenaed a large number to appear in behalf of Chapman.
 Chapman contended that he could not secure a fair and impartial trial in Gila county. During the labor tronubles a year ago in July he was among the citizens who served as deputy sheriffs to protect property in the Globe and Miami districts His special duty was that of guard at the Old Dominion mine and frequently in | passing through the picket his life was threatened, was the claim made by the attorneys.

GREATEST BATTLES
 FOUGHT ON SUNDAY
(From AnsWers)

Some of the fiercest engagements of the present war have been fought on Sunday, the so called day of rest, for the Hun seems to like that day for a bombing raiG on some defenseless town. as we'll as for much bigger operations at the front, possibly on account of the old adage about the better the day the better the deed
 The fiercest of the battles in the Wars of the Roses was actually fought on Palm Sunday. This was the Battle of Towton in 145t, and ten years later the Battle of Barnet was fought on Easter Sunday. Families was fought or White Sunday. 1706.
 Both Bulls Run and Shiloh, in the American Civil War, were fought on Sunday. It was on Sunday that We'll inSton issued that famous order "Ciudad Rodrigo must be carried " assault this evening""
 A glad Sunday for the British Fm- pire was that loud Sabbath" wher Wellington defeated Napoleon al Waterloo in the last attempt on the part of one man to dominate the world.

CRIMINALS OFTEN
 MAKE GOOD IN WAR
(From Answers !


 Crime has decreased greatly since the war broke out, the reason being that considerable proportion of men belonging to the professional criminal classes have been absorbed into the army.
 Many of them, too, have done well in it. One ex-convict. a Liverpool man, with a score or more convictions to his credit" won the Victoria Cross for one of the most conspicuous acts of gallantry on record. and has since died for his country. Others, promoted on the field for bravery, have attained to non commissioned, and even in some instances, to commissioned rank,
 The history of practically all men of this type is known to the heads of the criminal record office at Scotland Yard, but these never pass on their informa- ton to the military authorities. To Go so would be manifestly unfair to men who, whatever their past faults may have been, are now doing their best for their country, and. incidentally, trying to make good on their own account.
 One exception, however. there is, and the rule in this connection is a hard and fast one. No man of known crim- inal antecedents is allowed to serve in the Royal Army Medical Corps, cor in any of the other departmental corps. He must be a combatant or nothing.

DIRECTS ALL ARMY CONSTRUCTION WORK

In charge of all army construction in the United States north of Texas. which includes army posts and warehouses, Major W. l.. Malony was in Phoenix this week to visit his father, Thomas Malony, secretary of the commission of state institutions.
 Major Malony came from Fort Bliss, where he is directing the enlargement of the post there, and from this city went on a tour of inspection through out the west and middle west.
 With all the other members of an engineering society at Spokane, Major Malony offered his services to the gov ernment at the outbreak of war. He was placed at once in construction work of the great cantonments and ware houses Soon he was second in charge of all field construction. Some time ago Major Malony was promoted to en- tire charge of all construction work both at Washington head offices and in the field.
 He is but 34 years of age. Among the many large projects under construction at present is cold storage warehouse at Chicago, which Major Malony says is to be the largest of it's kind in the world It will accommodate 10000 car loads.

With Masks On People Brave
 The ImfIuenza

The influenza mask has made it's appearance in Phoenix.
 Following the example of peop,e in numerous other cities, several residents of this city yesterday went on the streets with cloth pro- tectors over their nostrils and mouth as a preventive against con tracing germs of the Spanish in- fluenza so prevalent in this city and which are most readily ac- qulred through the breathing.
 The first to wear the masks yes terday on the streets was a man and woman who were in a motor car. Over the lower half of the face of each was cloth mask that came down below the chin and was fastened behind the head.
 People turned to look and to re- mark, but the remark was that they would do the same. Later oth- CTS were seen with the cloth mask over the lower part of their faces.
 The influenza mask is easily made. The most approved one is of several layers of coarse cheese cloth. but some of the masks seen on the street yesterday were mere ly hsndkerchiefs. The cheese cloth mask of several thicknesses is the best and most servicesble mask and is the one the doctors rscom- mend. People who have tried them. find that there is no inconvenience in talkinq or breathing.
 The influenza mask wearers were pioneers yesterday but without a doubt, it will be a common sight by today.

EDWARD DE|SELE T0 PAY S1,000
 |S ORDER MADE
Many Violations Of Rules
 Of Food Administration In Conduct Of Bakery Were
 Found In Investigation

Violation of the rules and regulations of the federal food administration, brought about, it is insisted, through the persistent acts of an employe. yes terday caused the Phoenix Bakery of this city, owned by Edward Eisele, to come under the ban of the federal food administration of Arizona in no uncer- tain manner.
 As result of the decision in this case, which received the approval of the federal food administration at Washington, Edward Eisele will be per- mitted to pay $1,000 to war charities. He also will be compelled to operate his bakery under the supervision of a representative of the food administra- tion.
 To Use Extra Substitute
 For the next three months the bak- cry will be forced to use in the manu- facture of bread an extra quantity of substitute, it is stated.
 This decision by the food adminis- tration follows an investigation made by c. J. Buckingham, food adminis- trator for Maricopa county, and his as sistant, c. Fred Bracket, under the di- rection of P. J. Riordan, federal food administrator for Arizona. The results of this investigation were forwarded to the state food administration head quarters for approval and also to the Washington headquarters of the na- tional federal food administration. Incorrect Reports According to report made by Dr. Jacobs, @ special investigator sent to this city to look into this particular case, the regulations laid down by the food administration were entirely dis regarded in this bakery. No attention was paid to the rule as to the use ot substitute in making bread, it is said and also the weekly reports from m'that bakery were incorrectly made. It is stated that the weekly reports from 1 the Phoenix bakery were falsified for ! Is consecutive weeks. For a straight l period of ten days this bakery manu l factured bread from wheat flour en- 1 tirely, the charges are said to state. Besides the disregard for rules in the manufacture of bread, it is stated that a percentage of sugar, larger than per mitted by the federal food administra tion, was used in making other bakery products.
 Accuses Empioye
 Because of the advantage which this bakery had secured over other bakerie: while useing less amount of substi- ute in making bakery products anC thus being able to furnish a more de sirable article, it was decided by tho food administration to compel thi. l bakery for a period of 90 days to use ar extra amount of substitute in an effor to equalize this advantage secured over the competitors
 The proprietor of the Phoenix Bak. cry, it is understood, lays his trouble! ! in this instance to an employe wh, now has been discharged. It is thu opinion of MT. Eisele that there vii be no further difficulty in the conduc of his bakery.

CITY EPIDEMIC

 WORSE |NSTATE
Sixty-Five Cases At Two
 Emergency Hospitals, Six
 Being Received Friday; State Reports Serious

Varying greatly from day to day, the exact status of the influenza epidemic in Phoenix is not readily ascertained. On Thursday 102 cases were reported to the state health department from the city alone, but of these only 10 were sent to the emergency hospitals. At that time the city health depart ment had listed a total of 392 cases in Phoenix during the epidemic.
 No figures were available last night as tn the increase, if any, of the cases during the day, but only six cases had been sent to the hospitals during the day, it is stated. These were divided equally between the emergency hos pital and the auxiliary hospital at St. in the two hospitals last night, many of whom came from outlying districts.
 Phoenix is Fortunate
 It is true that Phoenix is faring much better than other districts of the state, and this is stated to be due to the strict precautions which have been observed here.
 Influenza reports to the state health department for the past five days from all over the state seem to indicate that the epidemic, taking the state as a whole, is increasing, while in the dis tricts that were first most seriously affected, and where vigorous work has been done in stamping out the dis ease, the number of cases has steadily decreased.

With the housing problem in Phoenix apparently no nearer solution as a re- suit of the conference yesterday be- tween Mark C. Cohn, representative of the bureau of industrial housing and transportation, and representatives of the state council of defense and the chamber of commerce, the following telegram was sent to D. R.

 In Charge Non-War Construction War Industries Board,
 Washington, D. c.
 Housing facilities here have reached and passed the point of saturation. Careful survey made under direction of State Council of Defense shows ma terial actually on hand for at least two hundred fifty moderate priced homes. Sufficient labor also available for con- | StructiOn of same from class of men not available for war work in other To- calities on account of age, health and other deficiencies which prevent them from leaving this climate. These men, if kept employed, can assist in winning the war by contributing to govern mentS financial program whereas if work is taken away become a burden This home construction will in no way interfere with the prosecution of war work and to an extent is due to influx of people required to handle additional cotton and other crops on increased acreage of adjoining irrigated lands. We ask that local Council of Defense be given blanket permit for construc- ton of two hundred homes in Phoenix and vicinity each application to be carefully investigated and permit granted only on the merits of each in- dividual case.
 PHOENIX CHAMBER OF CON- | MERGE.
 H. W. ASBURY, President
 The building problem in Phoenix does not seem to be a war industries housing problem at all," said MT. Cohn after the meeting yesterday. What you feel that you need, is houses to care for the natural growth of the city and the natural increase in population
 This does not come within the per missions granted under circular num- Der 21 as understand it." declared MT Cohn. The government is vitally con- cerned in the housing of workers who are industrial soldiers and engaged in some activity that has a direct bearing on the winning of the war, but the nor nal growth of communities not en- gagged in war work can come in normal , times.
 "In the matter of rents, however, the government regards rent profiteering as unpatriotic, whether the excessive rents charged are paid by war workers or not. We believe that investors are entitled to a fair return on their money but not more in these times. We re- gard it as unpatriotic also to discrimi- nate in housing against children ant women.
 Tn the matter of farm buildings. cot ton warehouses and the like, I would suggest that if the council finds then to be essential for instance if the pro. posed farm buildings means the bring. ing of more land under cultivation. oi the warehouse means keeping the cot ] ton from weat theE damage the applica.
