MUST BUY SUGAR
NOW SEMI MONTHLY
Washington Expects 200,-
100000 Pounds to be
Saved by Plan
RULING CORRECTS
SOME ABUSES

Definite information that the sugar
ration OF two pounds per capita a
month is exceeded In many localities
has caused the food administration 20
issue more stringent regulations govern
ing the purchase OF sugar. A saving
Of 2Os.OoOOOO pounds OF sugar is ex-
pected 10 be accomplished.
Under the new regulations, which
become effective today, consumers will
be required 10 buy their allotment OF
sugar semi-monthly instead OF every
week.
The food administration contends
that thousands Of persons, some OF
them unconsciously. have been breaking
the regulations regarding the purchase
OF sugar by buying on the basis OF one
half pound per capita per week.
On this basis OF four weeks 10 the
month. there would be only forty-eight
weeks TO the year. or 1886 days. This
would leave tweniy-nlne days, or viz
tuslly another month, during which
sugar would be consumed on a basis OF
two pounds per capita. With a popula-
ton OF 100000 people. this would re-
quire about an additional 20O,OO0,OO0I
pounds OF sugar.

Put the Orators at Work

Undoubtedly the food problem is every day loom ing larger and omirous. and it is encouraging to see it made the subject debate in the high est forum of statesmanship Much is to be complished toward the solution of it by practcing that degree of frugaty and abstemiousness which is practicable and which will be sautary in not only the physiological but in the intellectual and spiritual Still the most urgent need is to increase pros ducton.
 The practice of the utmost economy that is pos sble to say nothing of that much lesser degree that is to be expected, will hardly make production and consumption balance And to increase production, shall have to increase the expenditure of labor on the farm. One of statesmen says the draft took too many men away from the farms. If it took one, it many. Still it is to be expected that the high bidding for labor in the cities has taken much larger number And then too the cities seem to swarm, nearly with men who have quit the work of producing that they might engage in the work of exhorting the few who remain the farms to pro- duce
 If all the agraran energies which are being put into the production of bulletins pamphlets demands and protests could, for season, be devoted the production of foodstuffs, should probably have enough to make the adequate sustenance of ourselves and our allies practicable task in frugality

WOMEN ARE URGED
 TO USE LESS WOOL
(NeW York Tribune)

The government has made an appeal for coo operation in the conservation of wool to those who make and design WOmen's garments. At this meeting, rules were formulated that no man or woman in America would use over four and onehalf yards of wool in any cos tune.
 The response to these rules was giv-
 en not only by the dressmakers, but by | the manufacturers, the mill people, the ready owear department stores i and private dressmakers. The decision
 war far-reaching. It is now up to the | women of America to carry out for the government a continued process of
 conservation in wool. It will not be a | hardship.
 1 The government does not want a | standardized unirorm for women, such
 as hosts of unwise but well meaning
 women advisers have offered as a solu- =
 tion of the clothes question. | American tailors and manufacturers
 of ready -to-wear clothing will cut out l the long jacket for women when it is made of wool, no matter how light the weave; they will eliminate fulness in | the skirt and cut it as short as decency will permit. Three and a half yards
 of wool is a good average measurement | for the majority of women, but the government will look kindly upon these
 retailers and dressmakers who must
 deal with large and stout customers
 and even here it is believed that indi viduality of design and a plentiful use of other materials rather than woo will produce a gown of charm and sat isfaction.

GERMAN POTATO BUGS

The way Germany prepared for generation for this war was positively uncanny said a congress- man. "Yes, Germanys forty years of minute war preparation is uncanny the story of the potato bugs.
 "On an autumn evening a group of Minnesota farmers sat around the fire in the general store and complained of the potato bugs ravages
 The pests ate my whole potato crop in two weeks, said farmer
 "They ate my crop in two days said a second farmer and then they roasted the trees to see if I'd plant more
 "A drummer for a seed house cleared his throat
 Gents' he said all that's very remarkable Let me tell you though. what saw in store 1 saw couple of potato bugs examining the books about week before planting time to see who had bought seed."-Washington Star.

Tha Roll of Honor

It is proposed to publish the names of those who subscribe to the Liberty Loan along with the amounts of their subscription. The design is obvious and worthy, make public honor roll and to give to oil who listed in it their proper places in it; to let the public know who the slackers in the mupity and to what extent they are sackers
 Those who are managing the Liberty Loan pagn have across instances of who, when ap preached for subscriptions have met the solicitation with the statement that they have already subscribed whom it has been discovered that they have not In ones case amply able to have done so, has boasted had s25,OOO worth of bonds The record disclosed that he the holder of $50 bond That the extent of his real manifestation pa triotsm He had acquired place in the estimation of the community to which he was not entitled The publication of these is intended to put every man in the place where he belongs; that is every man who is able to invest in bonds.

money needed by the government to defend the hearthstones of America and the world. The War Savings campaign cannot be allowed to lag. Its field is among those who cannot meet the easy terms of the Liberty Loan those whose daily and weekly savings may be invested in baby bonds and thrift stamps for their good and the nations good. The Liberty Loan campaign is for those who have saved enough to buy the bonds whose prospective ings will enable them to the installments which the bonds are purchased.
 The War Savings campaign appeals children not only to their patriotism but it seeks to nculcate in them the healthful habit saving campaign should borrow strength from the other.
Arizona republican., 1918-04-13

such a stupendous reform among 100 million people spread over a vast con- tinental area in the twinkling of an eye, and there are thousands of gar ments on the market today which con- tain no more than four and one-half yards of woolen material and which must be sold in order that the trade will be continuously stimulated and women and men kept at their jobs.
 But this is the moment when the spring and summer fashions are being designed in Paris and arranged for in this country. The manufacturers are returning from Paris with new ideas, and the cutters will soon be going into woolen material with demand behind their work that as many thousand gar
 ments shall be gotten out between now and February as possible. It is in the new output that reform must begin and the propaganda for the necessity of | conservation in this one material must be spread broadcast over this conti- nent. The seeds of it must be soWn in the minds of women so that they will 1 approach the new fashions without | criticism and with a keen desire to CO., 1 operate with the manufacturers and | dressmakers.
 l The slim silhouette will be accepted | between Hudson Bay and Palm Beacl
 and then crosswise. The woman who
 cries out against narrow skirt either because of tradition or an artistic per | ception of what her figure needs need
 not sit in the corner and wall and
 gnash her teeth. All she has to do is 1 to eliminate wool from her gown ol
 suit or combine the government meas
 ure of wool with another material | Women need not fear for their ap-
 pearance under the prohibition of wool They can hark back to the days of ths l Directoire, when women created fash ions that have ruled generations since

Tho Massed Attack


 The daily reports of the great battle in France seldom omit mention of the fact that the Germans come on in waves to be moved down by machine gun fire that when they occupy contested points they do do by the pressure of overwhelming numbers after suffering the most terrible losses that they pay dearly for the successes they attain. From all this gain the impression that the Germans use bad strategy.
 But is there any other way? None at any rate has been developed in this and certainly in previous war in history where both sides knew how to fight victories gained by the rifice of There has been, of the foolish sacrifice of lives in battle by incompetent command CTS the great captain has been sparing of his men when the object sought sufficiently impor tant.
 It was charged against Grant that he was reck- less of the lives of his soldiers It was that reck- lessness which showed him superior to his long line of predecessors who, failing, had made place for Grant Grant recognized that is and that man must die in battle.
 Napoleon, though not the first to beat his enemies by swiftly overwhelming them at certain points with superior forces, more prominently than any Hllhtafy genius gave that method formost place in tactics
 Now and then an accomplished commander by superior maneuvering against tactless commanders can win victories with comparatively little loss among his soldiers Charles XII with army of 12,OOO men defeated with great slaughter army of S0000 Russians. At a much later date Hindenburg in East Prussia defeated vast hordes of Russians with comparatively little loss himself. In these cases reckless sacrifice of men was unnecessary The Rus sans crude soldiers and were unskilfuIly led
 On the Western front there is a different stua- tion. There cannot be the saving of with loss of victory. A thin line stand aganst massed attack any than it could have done so in Napo- leons day.
 The slaughter of is greater now than it was then because of the machine gun and quickfir ing rifle. But if victories to be and stale mates in battle to be avoided. these greater slaughters must ensue Without them would go on forever.
 The massed attack does not always succeed. That depends upon the vigor force and determination with which it is met the resistance not be divided between desire to men and desire to repulse the attack. There must be only thing in mind the defense and that is repuse at what ever The cost is to be counted after the ment and not before.
 Ut is to be borne in mind that no commander who has cared the lives of his than for & decision occupies very high place in military nals
 fThe concentration and exertion of the strongest force against the enemy at either the weakest the most vital point elementary fact in strategy which improvement in weapons of defense cannot change Weapons may some time become deadly as to make attack hopeless from the outset. That will be the of The ingenuity of man has not yet reached such height depth of devshness as to make war impossible.
