 There will be plenty of candy for the Christmas trade in Phoenix this season unless the people get fright ened at the sugar shortage and at tempt to load up to an unusual ex tent" declared dealer. If due care is exercised, all the children will get as much candy as they desire.
 There is no successful substitute for sugar in candy making. Corn syrup, or as it used to be called glucose, may he used with sugar but too much corn syrup means sticky candy. Certain kinds of kisses" made from mola:Ves require no sugar and will be plt1tiful this year, a manufacturer said.
 Hundreds of boxes of candy are being sent to the soldier boys ir the camps by their relatives. friends and sweethearts at home. The boys who are with the colors are going to have 8 sweet Christmas, even il the folks at home may have to gO a little slow on the usual candy supply.

CARS DAMAGED:
 RIDERS UNHURT

A Thanksgiving day expedition en- Kaged in by three members of the local boy scouts organization came to an unhappy ending yesterday afternoon when the steering gear of the car in which they were riding went out of commission and the car plunged over an embankment 25 feet high.
 Some time ago a party of boy scouts camped near Granite Reef and became acquainted with the soldiers stationed there. The boys noticed that the sol- diers were using make-shift apparatus for their sports and games, and right there determined to remedy the situa- tion- although nothing was said of their intention.
 Upon the return of the scouts to Phoenix they raised enough money to buy box of oranges, 8 box of apples volley ball and some phonograph records, and gathered together a sup ply of books and magazines, a tennis net. pens, ink and stationery. Their mission to Granite Reef yesterday was to deliver the Thanksgiving day difts to their friends.
 Robert Harker, who was driving the car, says thst the machine was going very slowly because of the narrowness of the roads but that when the stear- Ing gear refused to work the car cata- paulted over the bank Robert Harker the driver, Murphy Brown, another member of the organization and c. E Simmons, scout master, the occupants of the car, were all thrown clear and uninjured. The car was almost totallN demolished.

BIKE RIDERS IN
 PHOENIX RACES
 BREAK RECORDS

Breaking the old record of 22 min ptes for the distance between the coun- Try club and The Arizona Republican office, before a crowd that lined the btreets along much or the entire course. Duke Cross finished first in the Thanksgiving Day bicycle race yester- day afternoon in 21 minutes and 14 seconds. Cross won over Brazee by a mere shade and the latter was followed ii almost as closely by Ivester. who Eas third.
 At the beginning of the race Cross, Brazee, Ivester and Hoge took the scratch, the other riders having been handicapped. The first named three men rode neck and nNeK for the greater part of the distance and at no time during the race was there any great distance separating the contestants. The race was perhaps the most in- tensely interesting and exciting of any ever held in this city.
 Dunahoo was fourth, Nalenzuella Tifth, Newton sixth. Singer seventh and Hoge eighth.
 The special prize won by Cross for breaking the old record was given by the King Cyclery. Other prizes were yiven by the following: King Cyclery company. Phoenix Cyclery company Capital City Cyc!ery, Indian Moto- cycle Shop. Stewart Cyclery. Orput Cyclery and Vic Hanny company.

Fond parents and solicitious friends of the soldier boys at the training camps should not be worried over the erroneous reports that have come from some of those camps that the boys do not get enough 10 cat, or that the food Is of inferior quality.
 The fact is that the government buys the very best food supplies that the market affords. and the amount of Food allowed each soldier daily is in excess of his capabilities to eat it.

Ivan McCann. the man who has been assisting the officers in the search for the body of Kenneth C. Falston. a health seeker from Oregon who mys- teriously disappeared November 20, is being held in the county jail booked for investigation.
 The arrest of McCann came yester- day morning following a night session in the county attorneys office where McCann was closely questioned by MT. Laney and Sheriff ". H. wfny. While no charge has been placed against McCann it is believed that he knows moro about the disappearance of Falston than he has yet revealed. The officers state that McCann was the last person seen with the missing man. He denies that he has seen or heard of Falston Ence o'clock on the afternoon of the last day it h known that Falston wAs seen here.
 For days McCann has accompanied Ben Falston, who has offered . $100 l reward for his brother-dead or alive in the countrywide search that has been made for him. He has appeared nervous and i'll at ease at times, but has given out no information that could be used against him if the in vestigation leads to the filing of a serious charge. It is understood that the authorities have no direct evidence against AcCsnn but his detention fol- lowing closely upon County Attorney Laney's statement to Tho Republican makes it look serious.

CRIME
 ADDED ID LIST
 IF H|SCOUNT.Y

Added to the already long list of murders since the first of the year is that of an unknown Mexican Indian, found dead near Wickenburg yester- day. According to Coroner John Riggs, the man must have been beaten to death fully two weeks ago, judging from the decomposed condi- tion of the body.
 When word reached Phoenix that body had been found, the possi- bility that it might be that of Ken meth C. Falston, who has been miss ing for the past ten days, caused great excitement here. The descrip- tion given by Coroner Riggs of the dead man soon quieted the rumor.
 Riggs telephoned the county at torney's office Thanksgiving morning a s soon as the body was discovered. He declared that the evidence pointed to foul play and Sheriff w. H. Wilky, Deputy Sheriff E. J. Warren and J. J. McGrath of the city police left at once for the scene of the tragedy and will make thorough inVestiga- tion of the murder.
 The inquest will be held in Wick enburg at 10 o'clock this morning.
 According to the message tele- phoned this office by Coroner Riggs the body was found 150 yards from the Wickenburg bridge, close to the river. In the vicinity of the mur- dered man was q pool of blood and close by were blood stained stones on which were long, black hairs. As Riggs sought to turn the body, the head was severed and those who accompanied the officer at first be- lieved that the throat had been cut, but a further investigation showed | that the murder had been commit ted by beating and stoning the vic tim. A jumper was thrown over the head and the only thing by which the officers hope to identify the man is the stamp in his hat, which was purchased in Mexico.

CHRISTMAS DAY
 CANDY STOCK |S.
 LOWERING FAST

Phoenix may be candyless by Christmas morning. It all depends upon how badly the people of the Arizona metropolis want the sweets that go with a proper observance of the Yuletide.
 The candy dealers laid in an ample stock of candies for the Christmas trade and the local manufacturers stocked up on sugar, but beyond that visible supply it is doubtful how far the local trade can go. This statement comes from the men who are in close touch with the candy market and the present sugar sit uation.
 Christmas candies are bringing good prices in Phoenix this season and there are no cut prices on the sweets because the sugar market will not permit it. Sugar and candies at present are the same as gold
 Unless there is an unusual demand for candies this Christmas, there will be enough to go around, prom inent dealer declared, but if the present stocks are exhausted, there be able to readily restock-
 There is little cheap candy on the local market this season If there is, it is being sold at a price that al most equals the expensive candy of a year or two ago.
 The large candy manufacturers are not running their factories overtime this Christmas season This over

According to Captain Windle, the cost of feeding the soldiers at Camp Funston for the month of Oc- tober was 3S.54 cents per man. For November the cost was 39.3S cents per man.
 The boys do not waste much food. Captain Windle declared to a visitor to the camp the other day. There is hardly a company in the camp that doesn't save from S400 to $500 month on their ration allowance. This is paid them by the quartermaster at the end of the month and they use it to buy articles of food that are not Nssued by the quartermaster. such as fresh fruit, chicken, ice cream and rake"
