the defeat of the German military
menace to the world. 1t is now well
understood that the French soldiers
are great friends and admirers of the
american soldiers. To anyone who
has talked with soldier who has seen
service in France, it is at once evil
dent that the friendship and admira-
ton of the French soldier is fully re-
ciprocated by our American soldiers.
Increase of Civil War Pensions.
This week the House passed gen.
eral pension bill granting minimum
pension of $500 a month to Civil
War Veterans. Increased pension
rates up to $4,000 a month are pro-
vided for in the bill. The increases
are dependent upon the age of the
veteran and the length Of his service
in the Civil War.
Widows Pension Status Restored.
On Monday the House passed under
suspension of the rules, a bill restor-
ing the pension status of widows of
Civil War veterans who married after
the death of their soldier husbands

reason for the temporary discontinue

the party of fifty soldiers sent from
General Pershing's army, who arrived
in America two weeks ago and who
since have been assisting in Third
Liberty Loan drives and in Red Cross
meetings. Each Of the young men
had lived more than six months in
the front trenches and was decorated
with front trench service chevrons.
Two Of the boys had been mentioned
for distinguished gallantry in action.
They were all radiating with youthful
American vim and energy. While
they spoke with the warmest enthus-
iasm Of their comrades, who are now
holding sections of the front line
trenches against the fierce German
assaults, they were reticent, about
their own particular activities in
hand to hand combats with the Ger
mans. They each felt that distin-
guished privilege had been accorded
them by General Pershing in assign
ing them to work in the United
States at this time but they were all
clearly anxious for the time when
they could rejoin their comrades in

Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers.
The duty of providing vocational
training and education for wounded
soldiers is one Of the most important
connected with the war. I am much
interested in having Congress provide
at once very liberal appropriations
for carrying on the work of rehabiii-
tation of our soldiers who may be
wounded during the war and who
may, on their discharge from the
Army or Navy, be unable to take up
in civil life the work and duties they
were able to perform before entering
the military or naval service of their
country. Already several hundred
wounded soldiers have been returned
to this country from France. The
problem of providing vocational train
ing and education for these men so
that they may take their places in
some busy productive occupation 'r-
stead of being obliged to lead an idle,
dreary expanse of years, is a highly

and a mystery that surpasseth all hui
man understanding. Daily, as either
a direct or indirect consequence of the
strife and stress of the great war
soul rending tragedies are taking
place throughout the country. They
whose homes are spared from being
touched by one Of these cruel TRACE
dies have much for which to be thank

Boys From the Trenches.
Yesterday l had the pleasure of
taking to luncheon at the Capitol
three young men, members of General
Pershing's dashing army in France.
They had come directly from the
front trenches north Of Verdun. The
young men were Horace Webster, Ser

Montana; Private Harry A. Welcome,
23rd U. S. Infantry, Boston, Mass,
and Private William O'Neill, 1O1st

CUT WORMS

Cut worms are about an inch lonx
and dirty gray color. They live in
the soil and at night eat off plants at
the surface of the soil. One way to
protect transplanted plants is to wrap
paper around the stem so it will eI-
tend an inch above and below the soil.
The cut worms can be poisoned with
the following: One teaspoon strong
molasses mixed into one pint Of bran.
Add enough water to make a wash.
Scatter this near the plants in the
evening. The molasses attracts the
cut worms.-Extension Div, N. D.,

BALDWIN WRITES OF
 THINGS AT CAMP DIX
(From Saturdays Daily)

Rufus Baldwin of Walnut Grove, who left Prescott sometime ago with one of the Yavapai contingents for Camp Cody, K M, writes to his friend Ray Huddleston of this city, and tells a few of his experiences since joining the big army. He says m part:
 We left Camp Cody several weeks ago, and had fine trip on our way cast. This is fine country and has the best climate that I have ever bumped into. While I was at Camp Cody my father and mother came out from Logan, Oklahoma, to see me.
 We had expected to sail for France soon, but as the epidemic of influenza has broken out in the camp, our departure will be delayed. There were ll5 sick men in my company this morning. The hospitals are fill cd and l4 of the boys died last night. am writing this letter with sick men all around me.
 q like this country over here very much, but still it is not as nice as Prescott. There are lots of pretty girls here and we can take them out whenever we can get past the guards. Billy Simon is in the same company as I am. and he is getting as fat as pig. My address is GO l35dl ln- fantry, Camp Dix. New Jersey"

SUGAR STACKER NAMES
 TO BE PUBLISHED

FLAGSTAFF, Oct. 1.-The pub licity and enforcement divisions of the food administration have joined forces in ferreting out and pointing out the sugar slackers in Arizona. A sugar stacker is a person who seeks to exceed the government two-pound allotment
 And if present plans are carried out the old saying about fools names and faces will have to be amended to read Sugar slackers namessand faces are often seen in public places" ..
 It is a deplorable fact, say food ad- ministration officials. that sugar slackers' faces already are familiar sights in many public eating places, and their names are soon to be made quite as familiar through publication in the press.
 The plan is outlined in letter sent by the federal food administrator for Arizona to 337 volunteer workers of the food administration in this state, including county food administrators, their deputies, volunteer inspectors and committeeman of the hotel divi- sion instructing them to report the names of all sugar slackers observed by them in public eating places.
 The sugar stacker is easy to de- tect. He is the man. and sometimes the woman, who slips out myster- ious envelope from an inside pocket or handbag and empties the contents in cup of tea or coffee. Such a per son by cheating, may be getting around the food regulations limiting the individual consumption of sugaF to two pounds per month.
 Though sometimes sly. sometimes apprehcnsive, the sugar stacker usual ly is very bold in his actions. He brazenly looks the world in the eye as he nonchalantly dumps the sugar into his cup as much as to say: What care 1 for sugar limitationsl If I want to take more, that is my business and l have perfect right to-" In ludicrous contradiction to this naughty demeanor the sugar stacker often wears a Liberty Bond button or some other patriotic symbol.
 But the rights 'of this individual are going to be closely looked into from now on by the enforcement division. Officials reason this way: All eating places have been placed on a ration allowance of two pounds of sugar for every % meals served, with positive instructions to limit the use of sugar to one teaspoonful to each meal served. Now the fact that any patron uses more than this allowance is prima facia evidence that he is 8 stacker and therefore falls into the same class as sugar hoarder, and is subject to very heavy penalty for violation of the federal food control act.
 One of the noteworthy features ot the plan will be the filing of formal charges against all persons whose names have been reported, and the of these charges with names attached as legal document Some interesting developments arc expected.

DICE GAMES AND PUNCH
 BOARDS ARE TABOO
(From Saturdays Daily)

Acting upon instructions received recently from Attorney General Wiley Jones, County Attorney F. L.
 Haworth yesterday notified Sheriff
 Young that the Phoenix official had rendering a decision declaring that all punch boards, dice games, slot ma chimes, etc, were in direct violation of the State anti-gambling law and that they should be closed at once. Mir. Haworth suggested to Sheriff Young that all devices and games of this sort be closed and that in the future strict watch be kept to pre- vent their return to the counters of the cigar stores, pool halls, etc.
 Because of the fact that Chief of Police Bloom several months ago be- gan a crusade against the slot ma chimes, very few if any of these me- chanisms remain in operation in the City of Prescitt, but there are many punch boards and dice games which will fall under the ban of the sheriff should he decide to follow the advice of the county attorney. The firms which have been operating the punch boards are doing so under the im- pression that the adverse legislation which was passed by the legislative session of 1917 had been suspended pending the submission of the propo- sition to the voters through the med ium of referendum. However, of ficials state that such belief is not correct and that nothing was ever done to delay the workings of the measures which were enacted for the purpose of eliminating the dice games and punch boards. Mir. Haworth states that he is now prepared to swear out the necessary informations against anyone who is charged with operating the devices above-mention- aJ

N. A. FAIR WILL NOT BE HELD
 THIS YEAR
MANAGEMENT ANNOUNCES THAT BECAUSE OF THE INFLUENZA AND QUAR- ANYTIME REGULATIONS, SHOW IS CANCELLED.
(From Fridays Daily>

After having gone to great deal of expense and trouble in perfecting plans for the biggest show ever pre- scented in Prescott, the managers oi the Northern Arizona Fair at a meet ing held here yesterday afternoon definitely decided to call off the fair for this year because of the prevel- ance of the Spanish influenza also because of the rather strict quaran- tine regulations which are effective in the State at the present time
 Yesterday, telegrams were receiv- ed from the fair commissioners of the four northern counties stating that their exhibits were ready for ship ment, and asking for advice. It was with deep regret that the association was compelled at this late date to cancel the fair Conscientious work had been done by the department superintendents and managers and the reports of all showed unquestion- ably that the 1918 fair would have been the banner one Telegrams have been sent 10 those in charge of this work in the northern counties, advis- ing of this action, and newspaper word has been sent out likewise.
 Indicative of what the attendance would have been at this years fair is the fact that every box had been sold days in advance. Mir. Wakeling in charge of this particular work had disposed of every box many days ago. Before publicity was given, the managers of the fair wired R N. Fredericks- who is now in New York-of their decision and yester- day the following telegram was re- ccived from Mir Fredericks: Reply ing to your telegram, while very snuch regretting to learn that state wide quarantine is necessary, yet fully approve action by our associa ton in cancclling Northern Arizona Fair this year. We must do every thing possible to protect and con serve the health of our people"
 The association has gone to com siderable expense in repairing the grounds and buildings, likewise in the advertising of the fair and it is hop ed that this year would witness the payment in full for the grounds. How ever, these expenses must be borne by the association and an earnest eff fort made to pay for the grounds. Appropriations from the State and northern counties will assist, but itI is to be regretted that at this par-I ticular time the fair must be can celied, when every indication pointed 10 its greatest success.

WITHOUT A FAIR INDIAN
 SUMMER ISN'T RIGHT

q see that they've called off the 1918 session of the Northern Arizona fair" said the man with the inflam- matory silk shirt and the green hat who eased into the Journal-Miner news room last night, the fair bein' called off account of the Spanish epizootic, so I understand"
 Yes" responded the cub reporter who was reading a proof, "we're gonna miss out on our annual chance to buy salt water taffy and hot dog sandwiches and we're also gonna get horned out of the opportunity of hay ing another slant at Tom Mix and his bunch of leading ladies and rough riders who had promised to attend this settin' of the \.

 Indian summer don't seem just right without a fair of some kind,' continued the visitor "To all of Us who was raised back in the pumpkin pie belt in Indiana, the county fairs in the fall were tho one big event of the year and we never missed them. And now the sight of the yellow leaves which litter mp the sidewalks and the plaza and the smell of the leaves burning makes us realize that fall is here and we aren't gonna have any fair to go to. Back in those good old days before any of us had ever heard of tin Lizzies and when the hired girl was still drawing Sl.50 per week. we used to knock off work about the middle of September and play the fair circuit in Indiana. There was fair at Kokomo, the one at Elwood and another at Logansport, and while they were all pretty much the same. we never skipped any of them or overlooked anything. There was the same old showin' of crazy quilts. patent lightning rods, quince preserves and cream separators and the track events that was engaged in by whatever horses had remained in the State following the close of the Grand Circuit meets which stag ed their last show at Terre Haute every fall
