Advising the heads of bureaus and offices of the interior department of the shortage of paper and charglng them to make no requiSition for print ing, mimeograpl1ing or multigraphinS unless absolutely essential to the trans action of business, Alexander T. Vogr.- sang. acting secretary of the depart ment, has notified government off cials that the government printing of- flee may soon be without sufficient paper to print such publications ass may be necessary. The congressional joint committee on printing has sut- gested the advisability of reducing the and other work. according to the CIT States land office at Phoenix yester- where printing is necessary the mum Der of copies should be reduced to the lowest possible number, the acting sec retary suggests.
 Stephen D. Poole. chief clerk of the local land office, has an idea which he believes would not only result in a vast saving of paper, but also postage. Here is what he suggests:
 There are many real ways to econ omize in paper says Mir. Poole.

TO RECLAIM
 LARGE ACREAGE FUR
 COTTON BY DRAINAGE

News from Egypt contained in a cotton letter will be of interest to the farmers of this valley, since it describes movement to reclaim many thousands of acres of land that would be suitable for cotton, just at a time when the farmers here are considering the mat ter of saving many thousands of acres by drainage.
 The following is from the Textile World" of March $, in an article re- lating to the cotton lands of Egypt:
 According to the London Chamber of Commerce Journal, statistics show that in lower Egypt. just prior to the war, 45 per cent of the total area or cultivated land was under cotton, and in upper Egypt the percentage of area under cotton was 19 per cent It is further stated that 5,600, 900 acres are cultivated, watered either by summer canal supply or by flood. and 1.250,000 further acres can bear crops when ir- rigation from the Nile can he extended to them. Upon the completion of such irrigation projects the cultivated land in lower Egypt may be used for cotton crops once or twice in a three years rotation, which will not be possible in the most southern provinces because the climate there is against large scale cotton production. The statement con- tinues:
 Taking the normal cotton area at l,716.000 acres, it is estimated that it would be possible to cultivate annually in cotton. on the same system of rota- tion as is at present in vogue an ad- ditional 1,005, ,000 acres. The lake areas of Menzaleh, Borollos, Mariout and

HIGH SCHOOL BONDS
 SOLD TENTATIVELY
 TO JOINT BIDDERS

Subject to the approval of the at torneys of the purchasers. the board of county supervisors yesterday entered into a contract to sell the s50e.000 bond issue of the Phoenix Union High school at par plus accrued interest. F.. H. Rollins S Sons; Halsey Stuart & Co, both of Denver; and the Bolger, Mos ser & Willaman Co.,, of Chicago, in joint account. are the purchasers. The bonds will be dated April 1, and bear interest at !. per cent.
 The supervisors last Monday re- ceived sealed bids on the bonds and refused the offers, s97 on s100 being the highest bid. They advised the seven bidders they could not sell the bonds below par and would hold them for that figure. Representatives of the purchasers were on hand and placed separate bids at that time Yesterday they made a joint offer which was ac- cepted.
 The first allotment of the bonds V i'll probably be delivered in about 30 day S, as it is not thought that the deal will fall through. The bonds are for new buildings at the Phoenix High School and for paving.

 The first Jerome baby to be cared for in an incubator is Miss Mary Patricia Hudgens. daughter of Mir. and Mrs. John Hudgens, born on St. Pat ricks day and weighing only two pounds and 10 ounces at birth.

SIGNAL CORPS NEEDS
 RADIO OPERATORS

The signal corps of the United States army is in need of a number of quail fled radio and telegraph operators for duty at stations on The Washington Alaska military. cable and telegraph system. Young men enlisting for this assignment will be sent to the Pre- sidio at San Francisco for a course of instruction and will go to their Alas kan station .n the early summer. The pay and allowances of new men on this duty is $110 a. month, and pro- milton with additional pay will be made as rapidly as possible. according to the mans ability and the interest taken in the work.

This land would probably be suitable at first for a rotation of cotton and rice with intermediate clover. On this rotation 50 per cent would be under cotton an- nually and would add about 512.000 acres, making a total of 3,035,000 acres annually capable of yielding cotton.
 Tt should be possible to increase also the average yield of cotton per acre in lower Egypt. A large area in the northern part of the delta has become impoverished in recent years owing to the rising water table and inadequate drainage. If properly drained produc-

sEA FuRNIsHEs nue. FOOD
United States Has Perhaps the Nest
Valuable Fishery n Which Al
Coast States Share.

The United States has what is said
to be the most valuable fishery il the
world, but prObablyD not one person
IN ten can name It. It is conducted In
every seacoast state from Cape Cod
to the Rio Grande and from Puget
sound up to San Francisco, and It
yields annually about 115,000 tons OF
food as prepared for consumption, an
equivalent Of 100000 dressed steers.
II employs about $1,000 persons, and
iie annual product, as 1t comes from
the water, Is valued at over $4,000
600, There are other fisheries that
possibly exceed ii in the ultimate
value Of their products, but in such
cases much labor and material and
heavy investment of capital have been
concerned in manufacturing operations
to prepare the product for the con-
sumner; as, for example, the canned
salmon industry Of the Pacific coast.
The American fishery for Goldfish on
the Atlantic coast, which has been the
cause Of much diplomatic discussion
and of grave international negotia-
tons, appears almost insignificant In
comparison, its value in normal times
before the great war being about 49,
100000 yearly; and the shad fishery
the prospects Of which each spring
call forth much comment In the public
press, produces not one-tenth as much
food. The most valuable fishery is
that which furnishes us with oysters.
The bureau Of fisheries has more than
once called attention to this vast food
resource and the possibilities for In
creasing It and using It to better adj

CHINESE TURNING TO SPORTS
Necessity for Physical Culture Is Be-
< ginning to BE Recognized In the
New Republic.

Physical culture and all types Of
athletics were, until very recently,
held in contempt by the Chinese, and
consequently the Shanghai boys did
not know what the Joy Of INDUCING in
baseball and other sports meant, says
Boys Life. Ages ago chariot driving,
archery and the other classic sports
played an important part in Chinese
education. With the dawnlng Of
China's literary golden age however,
the, scholars could not see how mental
perfection could be attained If there
was any thought OF athletic prowess.
Muscles and Drawn, they said, be-
Ionged to the peasant and the gentle
Ilan OF culture should show his good
breeding by scholarly pallor, stopped
shoulders and a general unhealthy APP
pearance.
This attitude toward physical devel-
opment persisted for centuries, and It
has been only within the last few de-
cades that interest has been vouch-
safed in sports. With the introduc-
ton of new educational methods and
the entrance Of occidental theories
into the orient, athletics once more
came into their own and the Chinese
student tucked up his cue and his
dignity and went in for pole vaulting
and hurdling.
China has now the idea that ma
lions mic-progress depends large
" on the healthy bodies and minds
OF Its citizens. and missionaries find
little difficulty in winning subscrip-
tlons for athletic fields for the schools
