The entertainments given last
week by local talent for the benefit
af the Red Cross were highly sue
cessful in every way. The play,
Claim Allowed" was presented
Thursday evening to a full house
and was thoroughly enjoyed. The
plot was an interesting one and the
performers showed marked talent
in presenting it. Friday evening a
miscellaneous program was given
by the little folks and grown-ups.
There were drills, readings, songs,
etc. Housekeeping in 1850" was
one of the features and provoked
much merriment. Considering the
fact that these entertainments were
gotten up in about 10 days and were
so successful we want to suggest
that we have them oftener. Why
not have a Dramatic Club A?
Mrs. w. M. Mcintosh, who has
been with brother Mcintosh at
Shaw, Miss, where they have just
closed a most successful union
meeting, has returned home. Broth
er Mcintosh has gone to Bowie,
Texas, where he will conduct re-
vival meeting. To the people of
Bowie we wish to say that last
summer Bro. Mcintosh conducted
the most successful revival ever
held in Tishomingo county in his
home town, Iuka, and he is uni
versally loved and respected by all
who know him, and if they will
unite with him heart and soul, not
only the city of Bowie, but the sur
rounding territory will be greatly
benefited.

both pleasant and beneficial.

Dear riiends /:

Lear flcndS:
The time is here that we longed to
see,
When the boys of the South must
cross the sea.
We all are jolly and full of fun,
If the Kaiser could see us, he surel,
would run.
For we have the pep, you should set
the CLEAN
OF us boys who will cross the big
stream;
And when we are DER and the gun,
ners we chase,
We will spill their blood in the Kais.
er's face.
We know they can fight, they bear
that name.
But the boys in khaki can do Tho
same,
We never have been so anxious to
fight,
But now we are called to uphold
the right.
And since we must go, for our coun-
try die,
We know the Lord will not pass us
by,
Our loved ones at home are con-
stantly praying
That their boys at the front Gods
will are obeying.
And we, for our part, must pray and
trust,
For home in Heaven is the home
of the just,
But 10, there are some, Pm sorry to
say,
Who may be found wanting on that
great day.
For not ten PAGES from my tent door.
| hear the dice roll as they hit the
floor.
These are the boys for whom VIC
must pray,
For sad will it be if they're turned
away.
Down in their hearts the are not so
mean,
For many good deeds by them I've
seen,
But there's only one gate through
which we must go
Or else we'll land far, far below.
Last night the "" men among us
preached,
ana l. m sure the hearts OF many
were reached,
AS the preacher extended his Offer
of love
There came a whisper from God
above.
Then the boys their hands did quick.
i ly raise
AS an expression of their changed
! ways;
This little deed they did with de
light,
For down in their hearts they knew
it was right.

ARIZONA's SUGAR PROBLEM

d for September S the Gst o aii appeal made by the federal food administrator for Arizona to the div sion of the food administration at Washington
 With increased population during the next month owing the usual influx of winter tourists in the south and of additional thousands of laborers from Mexico with the demand for fer canning purposes nearly heavy during July and August and with thousands of pounds of going the line into Mexico or authority of the trade board the Arizona food au thorities wondering just how the allotment of Sf3O pounds for September as made by the dlvsion Is golng to reach around.
 The situation is aggravated by the fact that Wash ington insists basing the allotment the census bureaus estimate of population of 212O0O whereas the estimate compiled from the reports of county food ad mnstrators shows the present population to be 2S3O00 with the prospect of goody increase during the next month.
 Nor do these figures include r 600 troops stationed along the border Theoretically the soldiers do sugar except that issued through the connssary which consumption does count against the states allotment As matter of fact however. the soldiers many meals at public eating places and is fact that they consume other large qantles of sugar Tn soft drinks ice and sweets. and thin IS counted against the states allotment
 All of which has been pointed out to the Washington authorities with the request that the September allo ment for Arizona be materially increased especially if hundreds of tons of fruit the trees to be saved which otherwise would be wasted In this ton is interesting to note that according to recent press announcements, California has obtained add tonal allotment of 2500OOO pounds of for canning
 Though the food administration is urging the great est economy of sugar possible canning it is the tention allow pound of fruit to be wasted through lack of sugar. 1t is stated.
 The policy of the national food administration is made clear in telegram to the Arizona office suggesting that there inclination the part of housewives to be utra-conservative this particular The wire de- itely states that sugar will be available for all egt mate requirements of canning and preserving of fruits and vegetables although the amount used may have to be taken out of future allotments.
 However the food administration desires that as much fruit possible be eaten fresh and that only that which cannot be marketed or dried be canned.

The Warren district is most grateful to Vance John son and John Rock of the board of supervisors for the badly needed improvement in the canyon in the Johnson Addition and Lowell. The widening of the macadam paving here and the putting in of good cement sidewalk down this busy avenue of traffic It is sad commentary upon Bsbee particular to say that the county has fur
 nshed and better streets between the city limits and Warren than be found in Bsbee The only stretch of paving in this city that is fit for traffic is that little
