 BEING DENIED
The Acute Shortage of All
 Sweetening Products Is Cause of Order; Growers
 Urged to Raise Sorghum

Acting under orders from Timothy Rlordan, state food administrator at flagstaff, Food Administrator Bucking- nam Of Maricopa county yesterday an nounced that no more certificates for sugar for canning purposes would be issued. The order went into effect at once, and until further instructions are received from Administrator Rior- dan, the local officials say they cannot tell just how long it will remain in eff feet.
 There is an acute shortage in sugar in Arizona, and coming at this time. when the canning season is on in earn est, the situation is especially distress ing
 There need be little if any cessation Tn the preserving and conserving of fruits. however, according to County Agent Heard. As soon as he was in- formed of the latest sugar order, MT Heard began to get busy. He an- nounced that it is not too late to plant sorghums, the syrups of which are fine for canning purposes. MT. Heard stat ed that there are number of mills in the Salt River Valley that can be used LOT extracting the sorghum SyrupS and that if it becomes necessary he will see that these mills are put into operation. He also ascertained thai the several seed dealers in Phoenix have on hand goodly stocks of sorghum seeds, and he will be pleased to giv, any information and assistance tt those who wish to raise sorghums fol the purpose indicated.
 MT. Heard also stated that he an ticipates having a demonstration il the near future regarding the dryins of fruits in order to conserve as mucf as possible of the crop.
 Food Administrator Buckingham la,i yesterday afternoon received a tele gram from Flagstaff informing hin that retail dealers whose stocks hav' become exhausted may secure suga certificates upon application by wire t

 Portions of cities lying within the five mile area around camps will no longer be excluded from the zones in which the sale of liquor is preventable by federal action, provided the muni- cipalities in question are already dry by state or local law.
 No alcoholic beverages are to be sold or given, publicly or privately to any man in uniform in any place in the United States.

as it is possible for the commission to act. Third. That the committee recom- mends to the commission that the jit- neys be prohibited from carrying pas sengers for hire between all points reached by adequate car service. That all automobile stage lines be required to maintain some central sta tion or depot not on the paved streets. That as soon as the Grand avenue line is again in operation, automobiles running between Phoenix and Glen dale be not permitted to carry passen- gers between the fair grounds and the city of Phoenix, and points this side of the fair grounds, in so far as it is in | the power of the commission to prevent | the same
 That at fair time the commission endeavor to so regulate the running of automobiles so as to give the Phoenix Street Railway company opportunity to carry all passengers for which it can give adequate service.
 Fourth. That the city commission require the Phoenix Street Railway company to at least pave at all cross ings on streets where paving has been constructed, and that the paving at | be permanent, and free as far as pos sible from the defects now common at | paved street crossings.
 We would suggest that the commits sion cooperate with the Phoenix Street Railway company in endeavoring to see if change in the construction of the pavement along the railway tracks cannot be made, so as to prevent the cutting up of the pavement along the tracks as is quite generally the case on pavement that has been laid, and that the present intersections be repaired in some manner
 Fifth. That the city commission CO., operate with the railway company, as far as possible, in doing everything within reason to keep the street rail way lines open during parades and other gatherings in the city, so as not to interfere with the schedule of the street cars.
 Sixth. That sthe commission by al means in it's power protect the stree railway company against competition and aids the street railway company in building up the proper service fol the city, and that the commission alsI requires from the street railway com pany as adequate service as can DOS slbly be obtained, and requires tn, street railway company to live up t, it's obligations in all cases, except wher, it is clearly apparent that temporar, concession should be made.
