The prompt response of members of the society in Arizona who have been asked to contribute is declared to be entirely gratifying to the officers and members who are engineering the flag presentation If plans do not miscarry, it is proposed to have the flags made for presentation at the time of the an- nuaI meeting on Washington's birth day, which is held to be a fitting date for such an event.
 One member wrote when he sent his check, T assure you that it is a pleas ure for me to contribute to this worthy cause" Another wrote.

ARIZONA BOYS
 ID GET FLAGS

--or several years it has been the practice of the Arizona Society, Sons of the American Revolution, to hold an oratorical contest for medals and cash prizes open to high school pupils of the state in order to encourage the study and practice of patriotic speak ing. This year, on account of the many war activities, members of the organi- zation decided to expend their energies in other directions. A campaign was accordingly started to present flags to the two regiments of the national army composed principally of Arizona boys, one at Camp Funston and the other at Camp Kearney.

Particulars Filed
In Erlanger Suit

A bill Of particulars, filed In tho su-
preme Court yesterday by Miss Zeta p
Judd, a trained nurse, living at $40
Manhattan Avenue, threw considerable
light on the cause Of action which re-
suited In suit she brought recently
to recover $4,000 for services from
Abraham l.. Erlanger, theatrical man
ager.
According to the bill Of particulars.
Miss Judd was called to Mr.. Erlanper's
home, 232 West End Avenue, in March.
1915. She found Miss Francis, an ac-
tress, seriously Ill there. The actress
was said to have been suffering from
an overdose Of acetanilid and from gas
poisoning
Miss Judd says she cared for the ac-
tress until the latter was able to leave
Mr.. Erlnngcr's home. Then, she says,
she accompanied Miss Francis and her
mother to Atlantic City and later to
California. The expenses for both trips
were paid, she swcars, by Mr.. Erlanger.
Mr.. Erlangcr denied last night that
Miss Judd's suit had any connection
with Miss Francis. The latter, he said.
vas merely an actress in play pro-
duced by him some years ago.

enough of their returns have been

Profteering was by no means con-
fined to big business interests. Small
scale producers in thousands of cases
reported profits equal to the aggregate
before the United States entered the
war.
The reports now are being prepared
for examination by the Senate Finance
Committee in connection with its con-
sideration of the new revenue bill.

Cotton Gins Forced to
Curtail All Repairs

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Wal
Industries Board has declined to grant
priority to the manufacturers of cotton
gins for iron, steel and fuel for the
manufacture Of new gins, and has
reached an agreement with the manu-
facturers to substantially curtail their
normal production Of gins for the
year ending June 30, 1919.
The necessity for producing new
equipment and repair parts was recog-
nized, but the conclusion was reached
that, through strong appeals to cot
ton ginners. existing plants and equip
ment can, through repairs, be made to
last until after the war, where in nor
NAL times they would be replaced.

many Of which were awarded early in
the war, when the government felt
compelled to stimulate production of
the vast quantities Of supplies needed
by the army. Scores of income reports
from suit, shirt, undertaking and
shoe manufacturers showed earnings
CT from 80 to 100 per cent on invested
capital.
Lumber production, stimulated by
the sudden enormous demand for cam
tonments and other government oper-
ations, Melted forest and sawmill
owners, as we'll as distributors, profits
several times above those Of normal
years.
Oil producers made enormous profits.
Despite high cost of labor and other
factors entering into mining the Treas
ury analysis shows that very few iron,
copper or aluminium mines failed to
make tremendous profits, under the
government policy Of stimulating pro-
duction. Producers of silver, gold,
platinum and other precious metals
profited to a lesser extent.

ury for its approval. He said the COM
mittee also had communicated to the
Treasury its action in dividing BUSH
ness into three clauses Tor pre-war
earnings deduction.
The committee has adopted a provi-
sion that in no event will the excess
profits tax of corporations having less
than $4,000 capitalization exceed 40
per cent of its net income. An effort
will be made next week to apply the
same provision to the war profits.

Baseball has left bad taste in the national mouth The last meal of it lay too long and heavy the national stomach.

WHICH CLASS WILL
 YOU BE FOUND IN?

After the war there will be two classes of citizens; those who will Day taxes and draw interest, and those who will pay taxes.
 In which class will you come?
 Every man and woman in America must recognize this fact that war must go on and it must be paid for
 Liberty bonds offer an opportunity for service to those who cannot fight at the front. They provide the means for that other form of service, war financing.
 The purchase of bonds is a national necessity. It is one of those rare ne- cessities which is a blessing undis- guised in that it carries it's own re- ward.
 The personal benefits derived from the possession of Liberty bonds will cover period of years. Their strength lies in the fact that their value is cumulative.
 Loyal Americans need no induce ment to lend the necessary financial support to the government which stands for all that civilization means to the world. But their willingness to give that support carries with it tht added satisfaction of return in future time. Their bread, cast upon troubled waters, will return many fold. With the opening of the fourth Lib erty loan, September 2S. Americas stay | at homes will have new opportunity to decide the question; In which class will you come?
