Shot at the Sugar Stacker.

Ralph c. Ely, the federal food adj

statement the New Mexico food chief
says:

sugar Stacker is contemplate. par
ticularly the person who by subter-
fuge tries to sneak little extra sugar
to crafty his personal taste
Generally speaking the people of
the State as well as the merchants
are doing splendidly in the conserva-
ton Of sugar We must be careful
not to be carried away by a hysteria
in this line nor 20 TO an extreme.
Whatever sugar is necessary to pre-
serve the fruit Of this State will be
provided. If we cannot provide il
otherwise, we can, as people, cut
out all the soft drinks for a month.
That will not hurt US any and in July
the consumption of sugar by the PEG.
pie of New Mexico in this line almost
exactly equalled the total amount
used for canning purposes Mer-
chants are urged to cooperate with
us, being very careful on the one
hand not to supply sugar to the
Stacker, and on the other hand always
supply sugar to the legitimate home
Gamer. They can be very helpful to
the Food Administration with a little
effort in this line"

Mcneil & Libby, died late Tuesday
while at work at the plant 1t seems
that Rhyn was working in a small
tank, painting the interior. during
the latter part of the afteroon when
death called him. At about 500 p.
m he was all right and very shortly
after he was found on his hands and
knees in the tank He was quickly
removed and a doctor summoned, but
nothing could be done for him. 1t is
said that death was due to heart
trouble.
There was a report around that he
had been asphyxiated but as the
tank was empty and there was no
gas around. the report is without
foundation

THE THEATRE
Liberty Theatre

Under actual fire in the British
and French trenches at intervals
covering a period Of more than eight
cen months, was the nerve-racking
experience Of Lillian and Dorothy
Gish, noted motion picture stars, who
with their mother accompanied David
Wark Griffith to the very front line
trenches Of France To secure the i'm
potant scenes for Hearts of the
World" the new Griffith masterpiece
TO be seen at the Liberty theatre,
September 20 and 26.
The Gish family with Robert Har-
ron, Josephine Crowell Kate Bruce,
Master Ben Alexander (six years of
agel, Robert Anderson, George Faw-
cett. George A. Siegmann and others
who appear in Hearts of the World
were under bombardment on three
separate occasions, and in one in
stance the attack lasted for four
hours. 1t is interesting TO learn that
Mr.. Griffith was the first American to
enter the front line trenches. This
was, of course, before the United
States entered the world-war.
Only two shows will be gwen each
day that Hearts of the World" is
shown in Alma. The first each day

OPEN SEASON
High School Football Season Opens
With Arthur Hill September ~.

Although the high school football
schedule is still far from completed,
il is now certain that the Orange and
Black will open the season on Friday,
September 27, with the strong Arthur
Hill high school team Of Saginaw,
which has been an opponent of the
locals for some years past, and has
always furnished a clean, hard
fought game.
Coach Maxwell has host of men
out for his team this year, the num-
Der Of men out for the eleven being
almost twice the usual number, and
there is certain TO be a great scrap
for positions before any places are
filled by the promising candidates for
the team.
Hardly veteran is left from last
years team and the number of va
cancies is probably the cause Of so
many men turning out, it probably
being figured by them that the
chances for making the eleven this
year are still better for them than in
any year in the past
1t is still far too early to endeavor
TO pick even tentative lineup foI
the opening game and it is very prob.
able that Coach Maxwell will not
select a lineup until the eleven goes
on the field for the bout with the Sag
nav eleven.
Friday night Coach Maxwell sent
the men through a stiff workout anC
on Monday night handed them anoth
er hard workout. The high schoo
Mentor is figuring on giving the mer
all that they can stand this week anC
then easing up on them slightly mex
week. so that they will round int
shape for the big game.
