 The committee will hold a second meeting next Wednesday to report pro- gress already made and arrange for further details for the exhibit.
 Members of the committee are: Har- ry Welch Phoenix, chairman: Frank Mosshammer, Phoenix, secretary: A. H. Halton, Phoenix; F. E. Lane, Phoe- nix; R. F. Lush Mesa John Meyers, Peoria R. B. Beckwith, Tempe and A. H. Lukin, Chandler
 Andrew Kimball of Thatcher. who is a vice president of the International Farm congress and soil products ex- hibit, has spent the last two weeks touring the state in the interest of get ting together the best possible Arizona exhibit to be shown this year.
 He spoke before tLa annual tax con- ference at Grand Canyon on the sub boards of supervisors of all the coun- ties. who were present there.
 Mr Kimball contends that the best place to interest farmers who will make good future residents of this state as it is further reclaimed and developed is at this exhibit, which is being held in the center of the richest farming belt in the world, Kansas City.

HOW TO FIGHT THE DEVIL
By the Rev. Charles Sickle

OJ tte neN. OndTf6S SLetZie
 One of the mysteries of the Bible record is the story of how Jesus could have been tempted to sin, when it is said that he was sinless and perfect.
 Let's remember-and this should comfort most of us-that it is not sin- ful to be tempted-it is sinful only when we yield to temptation.
 Temptations test us. They tested Jesus. It is an inspiration to know that he was tempted in all points like as we are"-that's why He can help us when we're tempted
 Jesus was tempted three times: first, through bodily appetite; second, to gain noble ends by false methods; third, to gain success by wrong doing.
 And this about sums up the variety of ways in which Satan tempts us.
 How did Jesus overcome temptation Did He argue? He quoted the Bible He commanded Satan to depart Re- sist the devil and he will flee from you
 What happened then? Here's what the Bible says: Angels ministered unto Him. They supplied Him with food He would not turn stones into bread at the command of Satan; now He was fed by angels. He would not call on the angels to uphold Him as He hurled himself rashly from the top of the mountain, but now He was sustained by them. He demanded worship for God alone, and now He received service from these servants of God.
 Just as Jesus was tempted-and overcame, so may we likewise win against the assaults of the devil-and in the same way.

Federal Official Here Re- ceives Instructions from Washington to Begin h. vestigations in Arizona

The machinery of the federal gov ernment in routing out profiteers and food hoarders has begun to turn in Arizona, along with every other state in the country. Joseph M. Holub, as- sistant district attorney in Arizona, announced yesterday that instructions had been received from Attorney Gen eral Mitchell Palmer in Washington to begin an investigation into the general conditions in this district. The in vestigation will make a speciality of looking into infractions of the federal law which tend to increase the prices of the necessities of life
 One of the features of the federal investigation ordered is the wide range given in the instructions to federal of ficers in each state. The move is the latest in the governments efforts to bring about remedy for the high cost of living. In the government investi- gation, officers are not limited to food alone. They may take a good look into general conditions, including clothing. food, and articles which form a part of the necessities
 To Make Thorough Job
 Mir Holub said yesterday that the bureau of investigation, the secret ser vice branch of the department of jus tice. would aid in the investigation, and that all officers. in the instructions were told to make a thorough job of it. The orders provide that the prof iteer -hoarding investigation take prec- edence over the normal run of work One of the special purposes of the investigation will be to find out where and by whom food is being hoarded as the practice of hoarding food and other things-is believed to have ar effect on the upward trend of prices. Mir. Holub was unable to say in wha, definite direction the local investiga- tioR would begin

tbe devastated cepters of Li1le Rou- baix and Tourcoing with spinners from all parts of France, and at Havre with cotton merchants. At all of these conferences the French cottons men promised their full support. and gave assurances that representative dele cations will be sent to New Orleans. The French government will send an official delegate in addition to the trade delegations from France.
 The commission encountered equally cordial receptions in all other parts Of Europe which it visited or with which it communicated by special represen- tatiye or mail. The Swiss and Italian spinners will send strong delegations and the governments in those coun- tries will also be officially represented at New Orleans. In Spain, Mir. Sant- ago, Spanish delegate to the Interna- tional Federation, became an ardent supporter of the world conference as soon as it's objects were explained to him, and he arranged to call a meeting of Spanish spinners, manufacturers and merchants to take action in the matter.
 Some Visits Prevented
 Transportation difficulties prevented the commission from visiting Portugal Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Czecho- Slovakia and Egypt, but invitations were forwarded to those countries, and it is expected that they will be well represented at New Orleons.
 The commission has appointed Frank Nasmith of Manchester as acting Eu- ropean secretary of the commission, giving him means and authority to act in that capacity. In England, MT. Mas mith will also act as assistant to and executive officer for Sir A. Herbert Dixon, chairman for the British dele gation, and in similar capacity for the heads of other European delega- tions as soon as they are selected.
 The support which the world cotton conference is receiving throughout the cotton trade of Europe is beyond the most optimistic expectations of tht managers of the great convention ir ] this country, and every arrangement is being made to facilitate the sending of delegations from Europe, and to make certain that the difficult problems 1 facing the European spinners, particu- larly those of credit and costs of tht raw material, are given adequate con. l sideration at the conference.

The question of food supplies Gin
the spring and summer of 1910 was
of equal Importance to the people and
the army, to man and beast.
The work of the army in the field
depended in a high degree on their ra-
tons. That and leave are the two de-
cisive matters in morale. 1 thus had
to give to the question of food my full
attention.
The reduction in morale at home was
equally due to the food situation. The
human body did not receive, especially
in albumen and fats, the necessary
nourishment for the maintenance of
physical and mental vigor. In wide
circles a certain decay of bodily and
mental power of resistance was to be
seen, producing an unmanly and hys-
terical attitude which enabled enemy
leanings of many Germans
In the summer of 1917 my first
glimpse into this situation startled me
considerably. This attitude was a ire
mendous element of weakness. 1t was
all a question of human nature. 1t
could be eliminated to some extent by
strong, patriotic feeling, but in the
long run could only be finally defeated
by an improvement in nourishment.
More food was needed. We had to find
new sources of supply, to conserve our
stocks, and, above all, to increase our
own production. This last was the
most important.
The occupation of Wallachia eRu-
mania) was definite step. Other
measures were needed to assist further.
The need for the employment of straw
and timber for fodder, and perhaps
even for human food, was constantly in
esisted upon by the supreme army COM
mand, as was the gathering of leaf-hay
for fodder Just as we had to get ey-
cry ounce of strength out of the peo-
pie to carry on the war, so we had, with
the assistance of our scientits, to win
everything from nature that could be
worked up into food for man and beast.
GOVERNMENT LACKS COURAGE
The question of prices was a matter
for the home authorities. 1t was COM
plicated by political considerations. In
the then conditions of socialist agita-
ton against the country generally and
the agrarian party (the Junker land
owners), who were raising the price of
bread against the poor, and of the al
ready serious difficulties of living, the
government lacked the courage to take
the long view and regulate the maxi
mum prices adequately.

BRITISH DESTROYED OIL

The stocks of oil that we found in
sumania were not large The boring
Ilants had been absolutely destroyed,
md the wells very cleverly blocked UP.
rhe English Colonel Thomson had full
filled admirably his duty of making il
difficult for US to exploit the oil fields.
His work was not, 1t is true, of decisive
ASSISTANCE to the entente, but it did
materially reduce the supplies of our
army and home. We must attribute
our shortage in part to him.
To many people in Vienna. suffering
severe privation and not well disposed
toward us, it seemed that we were not
proceeding quickly enough with the
gathering of the harvests and the re-
sumption of oil working, and in Feb
ruary, 1917, complaints came from
Vienna and were repeated to me from
Berlin. I was uncertain for moment
whether the work was really being
well done. I was, however. able to
judge of the difficulties to be over
come in Rumania from my own exper-
fences in Kovno. and I did not let my
self be deceived. In April the COM
plants ceased. and the government was
generally approved.
The distribution of the stocks from
the Dobrudja and Wallachia was car
ried out in accordance with special
agreements with the allies. There was
no great difficulty in settling on a
bass for the distribution of the oil, but
the sharing of the agricultural products

GREAT GAME OF BLUFF
Bulgaria stood aside from the dis
ribution of the Rumanian stocks. as
she was receiving the Dobrudja harvest.
Turkey received only a small quantity,
having been allotted advances from the
large stocks lying in the Dobrudja.
The real question was thus one of an

MASSES OF PEOPLE STARVED

Producers kept sufficient supplies for
themselves, and more besides, and even
if their whole consumption was of little
Importance when spread over the whole
population, their conduct was bound to
embitter feeling.
The broad mass of the people, espe-
cialIy the middle classes, including Of
ficials and officers with fixed salaries,
suffered real hardship. few, no
doubt, fell to temptation in the difficult
times, and helped themselves. but the
majority were literally starved. This
came as an additional burden over and
above all the other difficulties suffered
by the middle classes. And yet this
class, oppressed in every direction and
suffering silently, did it's duty to the
very end.
The workmen were better looked
after They adjusted their demands
for increased wages, which they sup
ported by striking, to the illicit trad
ing prices True, an appreciable num-
Der of the working classes also suffered
hardship but. in contrast to the middle
classes, they really had enough to live
on.
Illicit trading became of the greatest
Importance in domestic politics. 1t
grew with the length of the war; the
more people at home lost interest in the
war, the more their natural instincts,
having now no countervailing force,
pressed them more strongly forward.
Illicit trading and boarding took con-
tinuaIly' more and more disgusting
forms, and these and the declining NOR
ale interacted on one another with in
creasing1y disastrous results.

TWO ALLIES WERE "ROTTEN"


Although agriculture was very primi-
tive, the situation in Bulgaria was bet
ter, but the system of government was
rotten. The army often ran short of
supplies. 1t vas, nevertheless possible
to hope that Bulgaria would be self
providing in the long run.
The Turkish supply system was abb
solutely rotten, its agriculture was the
most primitive possible, even iron
ploughs being unknown. Our minister
of agriculture. Baron Won Schorlemer.
had made efforts to improve Turkish
agriculture, but the government dis
played not the least understanding or
perception in the matter. They asked
for motor ploughs to bring more land
under cultivation. but never dreamed of

tions. We had now the task of collect

and of transporting it to the consumers.

man hands. In view of the peculiari-
ties of our allies and their business
methods this certainly offered the best
guarantee for the permanent proper
consideration of our rights and inter-
ests. and our allies agreed to the course
proposed.
QUARREL WITH BULGARS
The Bulgars soon caused considera-
BILE difficulties to the German authori-
ties in the Dobruja, who were under the
command of General Kurt Won Unger.
The matter was even brought before
the supreme army command. I stood
firm against the Bulgarian desire to
control the line of communications, and
was greatly strengthened by the at
titpde of the German officials. who
fought with spirit against the selfish
actions of our allies.
General Won Unger and his German
subordinates saw to it that the rich
oil stocks at Constanza and the other
materials were transported out Of the
district, and thus were put to the use
that really lay in the interests of our
selves and our allies. The land was
cultivated as well as was possible In
the difficlt circumstances. If the Bull
gar army did not receive the supplies
from the Dobrudja that 1t could have
yielded. the fault lay solely with tho
attitude adopted by them and their
government.
We had reserved the right to buy
materials in the army zone of the Third
Bulgar army The Bulgars felt them
selves injured by this, and put many
difficulties In our way.
