Food Administration Abol-
 ishes Sugar Ration Cards And Adopts New Plan for the Control of Sweetness

Coincident with the abolition of the card system for rationing flour and bread the rat:oning Of sugar by card can no longer be used in Arizona, it was authoritatively announced at food administration headquarters in Flag staff yesterday. The card system must be done away with in it's entirety.
 The limit of two pounds of sugar per person per month is still in effect but instead of the card system all dealers are asked to adopt what is known as the honor certificate plan. in which the purchaser is required to state on his honor that the two-pound allow snce will not be exceeded.
 Under the new system the responsi- bility is placed squarely upon the shoulders of the dealer and he is coun- seled by the food administration to take what steps are necessary to guard against repeating and other subter- fuge. To this end he should refuse to sell sugar to new patrons unless he Is satisfied that they are bona fide new residents of his community and have not already bought the sugar they are entitled to from some other dealer.
 Unless he takes this stand the dealer will find himself long before the end of the month without sufficient sugar to supply his regular patrons. The food administration issues certificates to the dealers, manufacturing establishments and eating places, but here the distri- button ceases, and 1t is up to the mer- chant to secure the equitable distribu- ton of sugar to his patrons through thu honor certificate plan.
 Another important change in th' sugar regulations is that it is no longer necessary to confine sales of sugar tt two pounds at a time. The consumer

Anita Stewart We'll Placed

Perhaps if the thousands of readers of the Robert w. Chambers story. The Girl Philippa," which ran in the Cos mopolitan and in book form. had been asked what motion picture star they would choose to play the title role Of "Philippa." there would have been much hesitancy. for the role is very complex and difficult.
 The readers would have racked thelr brains trying to think of the dainty star who could act the cashier in the cabaret. yet bespeak the lady. They would puzzle over who could best DOT i tray the whimsical little lady, utterly Ignorant of conventionality.
 However. with everything given due consideration, it is quite probable that dainty Anita Stewart of the Vitagra ph would have eventually been chosen.
 And wise the choice would have been too, as she herself will prove by her wonderful characterization of the title role of the girl Philippa in the special eight part Vitagraph feature. which is act the Plaza theater for the last time today

TRACTOR SHOW WILL.
 BE BIG FAIR EVENT

County Agent Heard expects the tractor show at the Arizona State Fair here in November to be one of the largest as well as most attractive ex- hibits of the kind eyer seen in this part of the country.
 Not only will the number of exhibits be larger than usual said MT. Heard, but the show in itself will be most in- teresting and beneficial to the farmers and others using tractor machinery.
 A strong feature will be the educa- tional phase of the .exhibit. Demon strations of what can be accomplished through the use of tractors will take place frequently. and the tests will be such as to convince the most skeptical that tractors are of the greatest ben eft in agricultural and other fields oi endeavor.

Intense Picture at Columbia

The Yellow Ticket" showing at the Columbia theater for the last times to- day is a dramatic indictment of secret police methods Of old Russia that car ries with it a strong moral lesson for all mothers and fathers as we'll as daughters.
 Screen productions have been instru- mental In placing before the public some big social and moral problems and offering the right solutions for un- fortunates, but probably no film of this character has been done in a bigger, more dramatic or concise way than The Yellow Ticket"
 | The play dwells upon the influence used by secret police during the reign of Cars in the great domain to snare young Jewish girls into the immoral classes. Great pressure is brought to bear that these girls might not escape the authorities, who are ever on the watch for victims. So closely do they weave their net about the unsuspecting that turn in any direction means su, e downfall for the individual
 Solution of the problem affords an ex- cellent setting for the abolishment of social and moral problems throughout the world. but especially in countries Of the same type as Russia of yestcr- year.

The World of Finance

Whether this pledge included provi- sion for lower freight rates is not known here. Unless the new ships bring substantial reduction in exist ing freight rates, it is believed they will not help out the sugar industry.
 Hemp, with all the world demand ing it for ships and war vessels, play ed big role in the prosperity of the islands. During 1917 it reached rec ord prices and paid it's producers handsomely. Hundreds of owners plantations have become rich in the past two years. Scores of Americans who year sago picked out Mindanao, the land of the untamed Moro, as ideally suited to hemp, and then strug-
 gled along for years on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly found their op- timism justified and their years of
 toll and hardship repaid by two years of undreamed of prosperity.
 Likewise the cocoanut planters have been carried along on the crest of the wave of success. During the early part of the year, prices rose steadily as American manufacturers demand
 ed the product at any cost. But freights also rose. This led many bus
 mess men to figure that if it were possible to sell the raw copra-the dried meat of the coocoanut-at a profit, it would be much more profit
 able to extract the oil locally, save a large part of the freight costs and
 count that saving as profit. During the year, fully twenty cocoanut oil
 mills all of small capacity were start
 ed in Manila alone and in the prov
 inces as many more were inaugurated. The tobacco planters, manufactur-
 CTS and dealers have also had a year of unparalleled business success. The
 demand for Philippine tobacco and cl-
 gars from the United States has been
 such that Philippine growers and
 planters have been unable to meet it.
 The year saw the cigar. production of the islands very largely increased while the acreage planted to tobacco
 was also largely increased. But there
 are no signs of abatement of the de- mand.
 A similar story can be told in every line of Philippine business. The coun- try is literally rolling in money.

aaEL BUSINESS RECORDS BROKEN
 IN PHILIPPINES

Manila, March 21.-(Corresponden of The Associated Press. .)-The Phil ippine Islands have enjoyed during the past F months the greatest pros perity in their history. War condi- tions, prices and demands are di- rectly responsible. In the past two years, the balance of trade in favor of the islands has been $5OOOO, 900, 65 per cent. of which is to be accounted for in tho unprecedented prosperity of 1917
 Internal traIde has leaped to un- heard of proportions. There is more money in every part of the Philip pines today than ever before. More business is being done and the cur rency reflects this condition. Despite constant accretions to the currency, through importations from United States hints, the Philippine Bank, the government financial institution, has had to issue paper ten, twenty and fifty centavo bills, and one peso notes. Internal revenue taxes, collected on tho same basis in 1917 as in 1916. went up nearly 8 1-3 per cent, reaching the highest figure in history.
 With the exception of sugar, all de- partments of insular trade prof1ted by the prosperity of the country. Freight rates quintupled I'd sextupled for sugar, and the Philippine producers often faced loss on their sales in the United States.
 When the price of sugar in the United States was fixed by the food control board, it was so regulated that
 
 profitable transaction in Philippine sugar were no longer possible. Samuel Ferguson, president of the govern ment bank made a special trip to Washington in the interests of the sugar men and got pledge of addi- tional ships for the Philippines.
