"Our Country! In n- intercourse with foreign na

orwrong Stephen Decatur.
. Norway is not exactly happy at the manner in which
the United States is refusing to let foodstuff go to that
country, and they appear to think a lot of Germany in that
Scandinavian country, but the king has not yet sent the
kaiser a congratulatory message and mixed up the word
"just cause" in the felicitation. Mr. Carranza of Mexico,
however, did that very thing.
Three new timely hints which have been just issued by
the agricultural experiment station will be of value to the
farmers of Arizona. They are "Hairy Peruvian alfalfa,'
timely Hint No. 132, by W. E. Bryan, assistant plant breed
er; "A Little Farm Well Tilled," T. H. No. 133, by Dr. R. H.
Forbes, and "Unproductive Soils, Their Cause and Manage
ment," T. H. No. 134, by Dr. A. E. Vinson. Copies may be
had free on application to the Agricultural Extension Ser

With a representation of 5,484,-the Methodist denomi
nation holds first place among men of the 89th national
army division professing religious faith, according to resul
ts of a compilation of religious statistics announced at Camp
Funston by Lieut. Grant M. Webster, dicision statistical of
ficer. The survey was conducted among the 25,464 enlisted
men at the cantonment.
Fifty-three denominations are represented at the can
tonment. Twelve hundred and sixty-three men were either
non-committal or expressed no particular religious prefer
ence. Only 48 professed no faith whatever.
Following the Methodists in order, there were; Roman
Catholics 4442; Baptists 3010; Christians 2536; Lutherans
2264; Presbyterians 2238; Episcopalians 668; Congrega
tionalists 570; Evangelicals 360; Jewish 184; United Breth
ren 184; Christian Scientists 146; Mormons 133; Seventh
Day Adventists 61; Mennonites 69; Greek Orthodox 61;
Quakers 59; Church of Christ 57.
From this down, the number belonging to any single
denomination or faith dwindles to one or two.
The payroll of the United States army and navy is
now nearly $100,000,000 a month.
A Swimming Match Now that Commissioner Mouer
4ias formally announced his candidacy for the democratic
nomination for governor we may expect a numerous splash
in in the water as those who have been playing about the
edges of the pool hasten to get in, says the Arizona Republi
can. The announcement of Mr. Mouer will be. regarded as
a signal that "the water's fine." C. M. Roberts, some days
ago went in, but even his frinds regarded his entrance as
one of the pleasantries for wl.'c!1 he is famous, or as an ef
fort to scare away'Fred Sutler Vho vas understood to be
contemplating a bath. Meanwi i!e Sidney Osborn and Sena
tor Colter were long ago disrobed and shivering at the pros
pect of the plunge. Attorney General Jones has been tak
ing off his coat and putting it on again.
But they will all be insoon and when they emerge after
the primaries all but one of them will find that buzzling,
ingenious and insoluble knots will have been tied in their
unguarded shirts.
Governor Hunt is said to have decided to be a disinter
ested spectator at the swimming match and the exhibitions
of high and fancy diving tho the governor's chief lieuten
ants are reported to have expressed a fancy for the natator
ial form of Senator Colter.
If the strength of Governor Hunt could be thrown in
a body to any one of the candidates his nomination would
be assured, but it is unlikely that such a transfer could be
. made even by the governor himself. It certainly cannot
be made unless he should openly and definitely will it.
Sutter would appear more strongly than any of the oth
er candidates to the more conservative wing of the party,
but we suspect that the ultra conservatives are not as nu
merous as many suppose. There is a pretty broad field in
the Arizona democracy between the ultra radical and the
ultra conservative lines. It is in that field in which Osborn
and Mouer will chiefly forage, tho the fences are in such
bad repair that Colter will be found there too and likewise,
Mouer and Osborn will invade his desmesne.
We do not mean that Colter is himself more radical than
either of the others, but that his relations with that element
thru others are closer. But may the .best man win.
Housewives Volunteer In order to estimate the amount
of saving in foodstuffs that is being made in Arizona homes,
a questionnaire was sent out to representative housewives
asking for a statement of the approximate amounts of meat,
wheat and fat saved. Some of the replies are so suggestive
of skillful adaptation of home management to emergency
conditions that they will, no doubt, be of value to house
wives in other communities.
The report shows that in families of six persons, where
all the baking is done at home, the average consumption of
wheat flour is 24 pounds a month. The extracts from the
letter given below come from Miami, and will be followed
by letters from other parts of the state.
It is evident that the women of our country are not go
ing to enter a plea for exemption from duty. "Their thirst
for information and pride in their efforts are surety that
food will win the war."
"I find that several households, who were at first in
different, not to say resentful, in regard to conservation are
now interested and are saving meat fat, sugar and flour,
But I have no data as to the amount. Their thirst for infor
mation and pride in their efforts, however, are promising.
. . : . Meanwhile I can tell Mrs. J.'s doings. By use of
cornmeal, oatmeal, rye, and milo maize meal she has made
a saving in wheat. A 48-pound sack of wheat bought Dec
ember 29, was half used on February 3. She had been us
ing no other wheat flour during these 35 days. Her family
consists of three people, with a fourth at breakfast and oc
casional dinners. She has had a number of guests at din
ners and has given away many biscuits and a number of
yeast, wheat and corn loaves by way of propaganda. She
has ground her own milo maize in a coffee mill. When the
ifty-fifty law created consternation here she put an ex
hibition in the window of a leading grocery store. It con
sisted of a coffee mill, "chicken feed" the meal, a loaf of the
milo maize bread, and one of the corn and wheat bread. With
this were your recipes for tne bread and her recipe for her
milo maize biscuits. The exhibition has had a good deal
of attention. Mrs. J.'s sugar saving has been considerable,
but like that of most people about, is difficult to state in
terms of measurement. She uses molasses, veiva, and
brown sugar, cannot get honey, but by making cornmeal
cookies and molasses and .using fresh fruits and stewed
fruits that require no sugar prunes, figs and raisins she
has used very little sugar the last three weeks 6 3-4 pounds
for the three and one-third persons. A neighbor has used
but little more, but she may make a cake next week!"

GLOBE, Feb. 11. Young women in
Globe plan a "Battalion of Death"
formed along the lines of the heroic
Russian organization of girls who went
to the front in the recent crisis, and
will hold their first meeting and drill
at the ball grounds drill field next
Wednesday.
Miss Freda Eckman has been the
moving spirit of the organization, and
the girls will be drilled by Major F.
M. Johnson, commander of the Home
Guards.
. It is the object of the girls to have
an organization thoroly trained in mil
;tary drill and field Red Cross work.
They will act as an auxiliary of the
Home Guard and will be ready for
field service at any time. They will
not undertake drill with guns at the
outset but will perfect themselves ln
stretcher bearing.
Already more than 30 volunteers
have signed the rooster. A full com
pany of 64 girls is the object.
Here is the roster. Freda M. Eck
man, Emmeline Thomas, Elsie Glen,
Virginia Wentworth, Nadine Higdon,
Elvira Maldonado, Sadie Clark, M.

This is believed to be the first or
ganization of the kind in Arizona. Sev
eral similar organizations have been
formed in other parts of the country.
