.ELKS PLAN ANOTHER
 WAR STAMP BAZAAR

Plans for another War Stamp ba- zaar which will be held one week from this next Saturday night, have been laid by the Bisbee lodge B. P. O. Elks, and details of the bazaar will be announced at a later date. It is known however, 'that the night will feature the games of the wild west and will be similar to the nights of the past week when the lodge sold for the government more than S15,000 in baby war bonds.
 On the next bazaar night the baby bonds which the lodge plans to give away will be distributed, arrange ments having already been completed for this event, which will be the chief feature of the evening. As in the past the dance hall will be operated and all proceeds over and above ex- penses will be given to the Red Cross society.
 A complete report of the six days of celebration staged by the Elks in their lodge rooms during the past week has not as yet been completed, pending the submission of several small statements and the final ac- counting. When the report is issued it promises to show one of the most successful campaigns in behalf of the government ever conducted in this district.

BULL IS SCARCE.

Because of the fact that Uncle Sam has taken over the factories which produce Bull Durham and Tuxedo to- bacco and is shipping 200 carloads of the smokes across the Atlantic every month to the soldiers in France, A. s. Hooe. travelling representative of the American Tobacco company. who was in the city yesterday. reports that Bull Durham end Tuxedo will probably not be on the market at all in another month. In Bisbee the merchants are out of it already and the same is true to a lesser extent in Tucson. and as Hooe walked up Main street in Bisbee yesterday afternoon with his Bull Dur ham grip he was swamped by Bull Durham smokers who wanted to get some of the tobacco from him. He could not help them bit. War is an awful thing, fellows.
