Mr.. Ingersoll politely gave his author
ity for this move and quoted the opin-
ion of a lawyer on the subject. He
then pulled from his pocket a green
card, which he said was his state un-
dertaker's license, and which cost him
SIS or 500. This license be claimed
authorized him to do business in any
town or city in New Jersey without
any additional license burdens put
upon him. Hence he objected to pay
ing the Wild wood city license of ten
dollars assessed against his undertak-
ing establishment. Mayor Smith then
said If the city had no legal right to
take this additional ten dollar under
taking license fee that it would not be
exacted. So the law on this point is
to be looked up. Mr.. Ingersoll further
com planned that he had no protection
from outside COMP petition, as non-resi-
dent nndertakers come to Wildwood
frequently for business and no license
fee asked of them. Before making his
exit Mr.. Ingersoll pulled three cigars
from his pocket and laid them on the
legislative table. Shall it be inferred
from this act that, Indian-like, Mr..
Ihgersoll wants the commissioners to
"smoke the pipe of peace" with him?

WORD FROM E. MAILHES

MT. A. Sine has received a brief letter from Eddie Mailhes, who is now Somewhere in Eng land, with the A. E. F., in the in the Aviation Corps, probably as a carpenter.
 MT. Mailhes has many friends in Williams, his birthplace, and showed unusual patriotism in volunteering, at which time he was refused because of an in- jured toe. He had the toe am putated and waited for the draft call.
 Interesting parts of the let ter are given below. Dear Friend,
 Just a few lines to let you know I haven't forgotten you, and that I have just received your letter of the 18th of Feb ruary, that you wrote to Texas, and believe me 1 was sure glad to get it, for it is the first word I have received since we landed here. It sure makes me home sick when I think 1 can't go with you when you go out tur- key and duck hunting. This is sure a great country. Very pret- ty, but I would just as soon be in the tall timbers of dear old Arizona.
 I have grown to like the army life very much, but I get awful ly lonesome to see my family. It will soon be 4 months since saw them. .>.s--
 am learning a new and very interesting trade. Wish I could tell you all about it, but I can't, because you know it is wartime. I am glad tohear that Joe John son is doing his bit forU.S.
 We'll, as there isn't very much to write about, I will close,
 With best wishes to all,
 Eddie Mailhes. E. F. Mailhes,

ARIZONA THREATENED
 WITH SUGAR SHORTAGE

Arizona is again threatened with a sugar shortage, and un- less great care is exercised in it's sale during the next few weeks, there will not be enough sugar for home canning. This was the warning received from the Phoenix office of the Food Administration by district food administrator, Jerrie w. Lee together with orders to cut the use of sugar in soft drinks to 80 per cent of the normal amount.
 "While there is plenty of su- gar in Cuba" reads the order, the difficulty in transporting it in sufficient quantities to meet the demands makes it absolute ly necessary for us to conserve sugar if we hope to save the fruit and vegetable crop of America during the summer We consider this more import ant than supplying even the cantonments with 100 per cent soft drinks, especially consider ing the fact that no restrictions have been placed on the sale of ice cream.
 You are therefore requested to curtail the use of sugar for the first six months of 1918 for soft drinks and for all other purposes except preserving the fruits and vegetables and the making of ice cream to not more than 80 per cent of the consumption, during the first six months of 1917."
 The food administration does not look with favor on the es- tablishment of new concerns which have sprung up seeming ly to supply the demand caus- ed by the old plants patriotical- ly reducing their consumption of sugar, and consequently of their output. This is made known in a ruling directing that sellers of sugar be prevent ed from disposing of the same to concerns manufacturing the less essentian food products, in clUding candy and soda foun- tain syrups. who have entered business since January 1st. 1918, unless such cales be first approved by the Food Admin istration.
 Jobbers and wholesalers dealing in Arizona were noti- fled of this ruling this week.
 The sugar rules affecting the sale of sugar by retail have been revised to allow the house wife sufficient sugar for can ming purposes upon filling out the proper form.
 Local dealers affected bv this ruling are already complying with the 80 per cent rule, MT. Lee reports.

DR. JOS. M0RH0DGE
 ID LECTURE FOR R. [.

Turkish and German atroci- ties will be discussed by one of the victims when Dr. Joseph Morhodge, an American Medi- cal Missionary to Armenia, speaks in this city, Friday eve ming, May 3, at the Williams Opera House.
 Dr. Morhodge, who is serv- ing the American Red Cross by his lectures, which are free to the public, saw the killing of hundreds of the eight million Christians recently massacred, saw mothers taken captive and forced to spend their lives in harems while their children were buried alive. While be- ing forced to work as a surgeon for the Turks and Germans, Dr. Morhadge was wounded and left on the field to die.
 The speaker, who will come to this city for one lecture, is an authority on the present situa- tion in Turkey and the Balkans, and was in Petrograd during the Russian Revolution. He will talk entertainingly on the personalities of Kerensky, Trot- zky, and Lenine, and will show the wonderful work that is be- ing done by the American Red Cross.
 By American aid, Dr. Nor hodge was rescued from the Turkish Armies and sent to the United States. He is now en- route to Russia, where he hopes to find his wife, three children and mother, from whom he has not heard since he was talk en captive.
 Prior to the war, Dr. Nor hodge owned property valued at $164,OOO, but has lost every thing.
 No charge will be made for the lecture, which is being giv- en as a part of the Red Cross policy to educate the public to war conditions and the work that is being done by the Amer ican Red Cross with the aid of the money contributed by the public.
