Marshal Joffre has brought back many stories from America. One he likes particularly to relate. He was often the repository for gifts for devAs- tated France. They were handed over without any question of receipt. At his reception, at Chicago a rich friend of France" handed him 8 beautiful little box with the remark, There are a hundred thousand dollars inside to help rebuild your country" On the journey eastward Joffre opened the box, and to his consternation found 1t to be empty.
 Believing he had been robbed, he consulted an American. That's all right" treasured the other. Its a little habit of ours to give the box and send the cheque afterwards--It avoids accidents" An that cheque duly ar- rived to give substance to the symbol

 INSTRUCTIONS.
 FROM CROWDFR Reclassification Board Asks Adjutant General Harris to Get a Specific Answer to Their Questions

The reclassification board of CochIsc county is not entirely satisfied with the instruction-sent them by Adjutant Gen eral Harris and have asked him to get a specific reply from Provost Marshal Crowder about the eclassiication. The following letter was sent by the board to Adjutant General Harris: Tn accordance with the instructions received thru your office from General Crowder, we nave proceeded together with the local board, to the examina- tion of all uuestionnaires which had been placed in deferred classes on the ground of dependencies by the local board. We are in doubt from the in- formation we have, as to the present view of the government on the ques- tion of dependency. We request, there fore, that ycu will ascertain from Gen eral Crowder the present rule in the following case:
 Is a married woman with no chil- dren, who is not engaged in any gain full occupation at the present time, and who does not desire to become en- gagged in one. but who, in the opiGion of the board is fully able, both mental ly and physically to support herself properly by her own exertions together with the minimum government allot- mert, to be considered as a depend ent?
 If she is not to be so classified. Cochise county men add from 100 to 15O members 10 class ]: if she is to be considered as dependent, the strictest classification will add only a dozen names at the outside.
 "We have deferred final re-classifica. ton pending vour advises on the point, and we would request that you put the question directly to General Crowder. requesting that an answer be wired so that we can proceed. Mere refer ence to the printed regulations will be of no assistance to us. What we wish is a specific answer 10 the specific question.

EAT FRUIT, ETC.

Handlers of food are urged to push the sale of all perishables and to suggest to the customers that every pound of such products used means a pound of the more staple commodities to be released for the food ships. At this season of the year there is large amount of fresh garden truck and fruit coming into the market and this should be consumed in preference to canned goods and other commodities which can be shipped. The consumption of potatoes should be increased in order that the exceptionally heavy potato crop of Arizona this year may be dis posed of within the state.
