 Reductions in all funds were made by the tax commission to make pos sible the low rate. The general and school funds continue to receive the largest apportionments, the former levy being $.0S01S and the latter $.09034.
 In effecting such big decrease, members of the tax commission an- nounced that they felt that they were acting in accordance with the wishes of the United States government. In establishing such a precedent in the conservation of state financial re- sources, they urge all county boards of supervisors to act in strict harmony with the plan.

 No. 499, Flagstaff, Arizona
 Greetings:
 wish to thank you for sending me my overseas card and also to assure you that l was very happy to receive it. There is a feeling somehow diff ferent when you can grip the hand of a brother Elk on this side of the sea. 1 might say also that we have an overseas lodge, but have never had an opportunity to visit them.
 We had fine voyage. l have never seen the sea as smooth as it was dur ing our trip across.
 France is a beautiful country, far more beautiful than I imagined it would be. It reminds one of a pie ture, painted at odd moments, each lit- tie detail seeias to have been put in by the artist. The little villages are very close together and sleep, as it were, in the warm sunshine unaware that there is such thing as war.
 One notices the absence of the men; save for cripples, there are no young men in them. The people like the American soldiers-they are happy bunch of men and are doing good work here.
 We hope to drive this war to a quick finish and will not be satisfied until we have a complete victory with arms. That is the only way the Hun will ever be suppressed, and sup pressed they must be.
 Trusting you will keep me informed on the latest news in 499, I beg to remain a firm supporter of B. P. O. E. and retain stall in the corall at Flagstaff.
 Hoping that l may be with you in the near future, am
 Fraternally yours,
 1st Class Serget. Hill H. Lewis, Co.

 can E. F., via New York. ...
 P. S.-Please carry my greetings to Alex. Johnston, Dry Goods Finley and Soda Pop Raudebaugh. H. H. L.

Meat for the Soldiers.

More meat has been exported dur ing the first half of this year than during all of last year. Many of our army leaders believe that soldiers well fed on beef make the best fighters. The present ration is 70 per cent beef and 90 per cent pork. Too much pork is not thought to be best. Rations for the American army daily are 20 ounces of beef or 12 ounces of pork. If the entire IT million allied soldiers receive those rations, considerable meat would necessarily have to be supplied. Fats are used in many diff ferent ways in addition to food. These are necessary especially in making ex- plosives. Meat is one of the impor- tant necessities of war.-Exchange.

 ITEMS OF INTEREST
 ABOUT OUR BOYS OVER k1 HERE AND "OVER THERE"

Those who keep the files of The Sun during the days of the great war, will have valuable local infor- nation as to the things that Flag staff and her people did during the dark days, which they may refer to in years to come. The old letters written home from our boys back in '9S are interesting reading now what will be the heart interest in the 'home letters" and "The Sol diers' Column" in years to come. File them away for a record of events in after years.

Uncle Sam's Marines have &C., quilted themselves so we'll that it is safe to bet that the Kaiser is seeking the secret of their success. Over here it is not even surprising. It is what the United States expected of her sons. The big reason is that the personnel of the Marines is made up of true Americans. The best blood of the Nation is found in this branch of the service.
 The wonderful intensive training given the Marines is another reason why the Kaiser is having his troubles

SUGAR EXPORTS SMALL
 TO NEUTRAL NATIONS

Only TOT tons of refined sugar were shipped from America to neutral na- tions during the first five months of this year. This amounted to only 3.2 per cent. of the total exports to all countries. Mexico received more than half the amount we exported to neu- trals.

 The Marine is an expert marks man, whether his weapon be Spring field rife, machine gun or cannon. He is at home on ship or land. One of the famous drills of the Marines is what is known as the "Butts For ward" practice. When there is close-in fighting to be done, the Marine has four distinct movements to use in this drill, any one of which

POLITICAL NOTES.

Tom Campbell, hepuDi1can candl- date for governor, who has been spending a month touring northern Arizona has been receiving veritable ovations wherever he has stopped, and it is now generally predicted that he will carry Fred Golfers own county against the state senator chosen by Governor Hunt to succeed him. Camp bell will carry Coconino county by a much larger majority than in 1916, and will be a big favorite in Navajo this fall. The north stands for square deal for Campbell.
 Many old-time Democrats have come out openly for Lieut.. Tom Maddock for Congress, because they do not like Carl Hayden's stand on war measures. Hayden's position is particularly hard to understand because he was a major in the National Guard and most of his constituents expected him to be anything but pacifist. His action in trying to put through the house Bill Cleary's I. w. w. measure lost him many supporters in his own party.
 Friends of Sid Osborn are now of fering to wager that he will not stand lower than second at the primary. Their confidence is based on the fact that Fred Sutter's candidacy has failed to awaken any enthusiasm out side of Cochise county and reports that Mouer is to withdraw from the race. Osborn, because of being secre- tary of state, has wide acquaintance, and this will be big asset for him in the primary.
 Several Democratic papers in the state have been showing considerable concern because the Republican state committee has been soliciting sub scriptions to help put Tom Campbell back in the governors chair. The Democratic editors seem to think that because the Republicans had to make appeals for funds on a number of oc- casions to fight the Hunt contest, pay Campbell's court costs and then final ly pay Hunts costs, they should now be denied financial support. At the same time they are silent on the course of Hunt in retaining the salary which Tom Campbell earned.

15. .Old Boy Serving U. s.

Probably the youngest boy in the service from Mohave county is Lark c. Jenkins of Oatman, not yet 16 years of age.
 Jenkins entered the signal corps last May and is now in France. At that time he was 15 years old and will not be 16 until the 30th of this month. Lark's father is an employe of the Tom Reed at Oatman.-Kingman Miner.

Has 61 Cousins and Nephews in U. s.
 Army and Navy. ..

Eli Hilty reports that with the en. try of Bryan Hilty into the service of the government last Monday he has 61 cousins and nephews now in the American army and navy. This is some family tree, every branch of it being deep rooted in patriotism. It is name to conjure with and family record to be proud of.-Kingman Miner.
 Bryan is well known in Flagstaff having resided here couple years ago, and is a brother of Mrs. Frank Berg and nephew of Mrs. H. B. White of this place.

The Air-Gun Is to Win the War.

The gun that will win the war is a weapon of which America already has countless batteries in action. Its bore is only an inch and an eighth, mere toy beside even the "seventy-five," but it has a range of 5000 miles.
 Hats off to the "air-gun!" That, says the August Worlds work, is what every shipyard worker calls the tools that made possible the biggest splash in history, when nearly 100 ships, ag- gregating nearly half a million tons, slipped off the ways of American shipyards on the Fourth of July. Without the pneumatic hammer, the building of a tenth part of these ships would have been impossible.

Bob Sharp After Huns.

R. L. Sharp, commonly known as Bob" when he worked on The Sun some few years ago, writes from France that he was fortunate enough to get over there last August, but was not able to get into the regular service owing to some physical defects; he did get clerkship with the engineer corps and is attached to the purchas- ing officer. He has our thanks for bundle of "The Stars and Stripes" a cracking good paper printed for the soldier boys and all interested in the American army. It claims g. circula- tion of 114,199 and was only started in February. Bob is coming back to Arizona as soon as the war is over.
 The American Airplane Record.
 The Americans have so far not made much headway with the airplane serv- ice at the front, if reports are true. Of the German airplanes brought down during the month of July, only three are credited to the American flyers. British aviators accounted for 410 planes; French 200; Italians, 1O6; Belgians, A. The Germans destroyed 316 Allied planes. It would be inter- esting to know how many of them were of American manufacture.
 Karl Hurst, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hurst, formerly residents of Flagstaff, now ranching on lower Oak Creek. writes that he is in France with Go. E, 116 Supply Train, A. E. F., A. P. o. 727. While he has noth- ing to say except that he wants his address on The Sun changed. his friends here are sure that he is doing his share toward making the Huns hump themselves back to Berlin.
 Navy Recruiting Officer Weale, who has been in Flagstaff for the past two months or more, left Sunday for head quarters in Los Angeles. While here Officer Weale succeeded in recruiting over thirty young men for the navy service, not including Williams.
