MASSACHUSETTS, TO
 GO WITHOUT SUGAR

Boston, Aug. IDA request that the people of this State, except children and invalids, forego the use of sugar entirely for the next two months was made by Henry B. Endicot, Food Ad ministrator yesterday,
 Tt is a fact that the present ruling allows two pounds per month per person." he said, "bUt it is also a fact that for the next five months it is very doubtful whether enough sugar can be obtained to distribute two pounds per person per month.
 Therefore I urge every man and woman in Massachusetts first to do entirely without sugar for the next two or three months, and secondly, if for any reason any one feels that he cannot go without 1t entirely, to see how little he can get along with"

Something to Worry About

Our friends, the learned astronomers who study
the heavens just carefully the average fellow
does the innermost recesses of his pOcketboOk day
before pay, are intent upon adding to our load of
worry burdens.
They-some of them-believe the sun is going
to explode.
One of them, writing in Popular Astronomy
points to the fact that sun is of advanced age,
and predicts its finish the leading figure III our
solar system. He finds that sun has contracted
100000 miles from each side, thus giving its hot
center 1S6,0OO00O miles less of room.
So you see the suns center is rather crowded for
space.
All this sets Mister Astronomer to wondering as
to how long the sum- considering its extreme old
age, can stand the strain
If it doesn't and the final big blowout comes,
what will happen to us? Of course, we'll admit it'll
be goodnight, sum- but how about us earth
worms? Will we suffer an everlasting parade of
heatless days2
Oh, no; nothing like that!
When the is instantaneously resolved to a
cloud of gas composed of stone, iron, and other sub
stances even heavier and harder, but so hot that
they reduced to vapor, and so elastic that from
their sudden release they expand to the limits of
the solar system, region of 500 billions of miles
in diameter, this is what will happen to your and
your neighbor and all the rest of us:
Gin such maelstrom (this is the astronomer
talking) apprehend that earth and the other
planets and satellites would each flash once like
FREELY, and be lost in nebula.'
That's our finish when the good old sun has
celestial blowout-ONE FLASH. And it won't be
a very long flash at that
However, don't get all fused up and give away
all your property.
The astronomer thinks it may be few hundred
million years before this happens.

Fare FiIht Lost

In New York state the court of appeals has de-
cided that the public service commission may not
increase trolley fares when franchise agreements
limit the rate to be charged
The decision protects the city of Rochester from
the application of the street railway for sixcent
fare.
incidentally, it is an ntimation to the street
railway company to squeeze the water out of it's
stock and make its present revenue do. Cleveland,
which went thru the water squeezing process
when its present franchise granted, is able to
get along with less than Scent fare.

me tell "A Perplexed Corporal"
something about writing to
strange soldiers.
/ write to a Canadian soldier
whom | have never been for
mally introduced to. He wrote
from Flanders. asking thru the
papers for some young lady to
write to him for amusement. /
wrote him a long letter. putting
in as many interesting, enter
tanning things as | could think
of. In the course OF several
weeks I received a reply. He
said: you don't know how
good il was to receive your let
ter, which came among % 9TH
ers. Here | was, on the coast
of England, in hospital, suf-
fering from shell shock, with
nothing to do but hope to get
back on the firing line soon. 1
was beastly lonely, and that
batch of letters was like a mes
sage from Heaven. I've been
in the war since the month 1t
started, and IL you folks back
home only knew how lonesome
it is for us poor devils over
here, you wouldn't miss an op-
portunity to write
I have received other letters,
all interesting and gentleman
ly, and | don't think | shall
have occasion to regret writing.
After the second or third let
ter l wrote, he asked permits
sion to show my letters to some
of his pals in the trenches, and
as I had written nothing | was
ashamed for the whole world to
read, readily assented. In
speaking of selecting six regu-
lar correspondents, he says
that selection l have made not
without a little difficulty. l
have chosen those whose letters
were most interesting and
amusing because those are the
two things we most need at the
front-amusement and some
thing of interest"
When my soldier-stranger
writes again, his letter will
close with a series of post
scripts-just lines and sigma
lures Of the men who have read
my letters, and l am looking
forward to receiving 1t. Per-
haps l am wrong in allowing
my correspondent to show my
letter, but | am not ashamed of
them, there is nothing gushy,
silly, sentimental or trashy in
them, and If they contain a good
laugh, l do not care IL they are
passed raund.
II / can make any of those
boys more cheerful for a minute
or two, or tell him Of the things
he is interested in, or amuse
him in any way, let him laugh
either with me or at me, just
so long as he laughs.
They can fight for me with
out knowing me, so l can write
to them without knowing them.
Have l lost my claim to re-
spectability? Surely no real
soldier would say so.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Liberty Joan subscriptions reported to federal reserve banks up 10 the close of busi- ness last night representing results of five days canvassing. were $451,744.0SO, or S175,S25.00O more than the total re- ported last night This is just about enough to pay the United States war expenses for two weeks.
 Only part of these pledges have been received by federal reserve banks in binding form, accompanied by initial payments. but it is believed many mil lions of other subscriptions have been signed and not yet reported to local hunks.
 The New York federal reserve dis trict continues to furnish almost half the country's total with $2O5, 900 reported today. In the Minneapolis district' the loan campaign will not really start until next Monday, and no figures are reported from there. Other district reports. as given today in messages tO headquarters here follow:
 Chicago. s55210,OO0; Boston, s46.- 36L0O0; Cleveland, S33, ,989000; Phila- delphia. S31 .597 900; St. Louis, $29 26S,- GOO; Dallas. $15,347 900; Kansas City, S13 3267. GOO: San Francisco, s11,426, 900; ; Richmond, S6,91G,000; Atlanta, $3,- 259 GOO.
 Rural communities got into the cam- paign in earnest tonight with Liberty loan rallies at country school houses in virtually every township. A mes sage from Secretary McAdoo was read saving:
 'I rely upon the farmers, than whom there are no more vitally interested in protecting Americas future and the liberties of the world, to do their ut most to help in this great Liberty loan work

Arizona Coal DeveIopment

Congressman Carl Hayden has in- troduced a bill into the house of rep resentatives providing for a method for the leasing and working of coal bearing lands is the state of Arizona. In face of the present coal shortage of the United States this promises to be an important development as lit will add greater coal resources, and will. for Arizona, provide coal closer to home and also ease up somewhat on freight transportation.
 The matter of coal as an economic resource of the state of Arizona has received little more than passing in terest, but it is a subject that is worthy of serious consideration. With the vast production of metals form ing the basis of the mineral output the addition of coal as a resource has not been considered of sufficient importance to warrant any extensive developments. or indeed any thor ough prospecting of the coal region contained in the state. Consequently We do not know with any degree or accuracy just what the possibilities are. but We do know that there are coal deposits of considerable value and extent in at least three parts of the state.
 That these deposits existed has been known for a number of years, but their exploitation has not been undertaken for several reasons-the growth of the country has not been l along manufacturing lines where a cheap source of fuel was a necessity: the proximity of the Gallup fields of New Mexico and the ease with which | it could be secured, has made the

The high grade finds of recent date make it cer- tain that the property will come in as a profitable producer and add mater tally to pay rolls of both mines and plants in the district.
 These activities, it is only fair to point out, greatly increase the possi: bilities of success for number of others in the Patagonia district, while lending important encouragement to all of the mining industry which is giving attention to silver and lead in increasingly greater degree in the be- lief that conditions at the end of the war will bring about a price for the white metal that will enable it's mining at profit, something that is not now common. being confined in fact to properties possessed of exceptionally high grade resources.
