FOOD ADMINISTRATION
 ' CONTINUING ITS WORK

PHOENIX, Dec. 27.-The partial demobilization of the food admins tration and the withdrawal of many of its rules and regulations have given the impression in some quarters that all its activities have ceased or are shortly to cease. This is not the case, as is indicated in the following statement given out by the state head quarters of the United States food ad- ministration at Washington.
 "The Lever act creating the food administration imposes upon us cer- tain obligations which will continue until presidential proclamation re- leases us from further duty, and par ticularly the obligation to curb prof iteering and speculating in lcenesed food commodities. This function must be continued and there is no intention of relaxing in this direction.
 "It has been possible now that peace is assured to cancel many require ments for reports and many of the de- tails of the regulations but the profit margins and rules have been for the most part retained and will be enforc- ed by revocation of licenses and other appropriate penalties.
 ''It is expected that it will be pos sible from time to time to remove cer- tain commodities from the licensed list, but this will be limited to com- mobiles which do no seem likely to be subject to possibility of speculation and profiteering."

 BY FINGER PRINT

A. R. Gonzales, who was arrested and held for the murder of Lee Kwon, at Tucson, a few weeks ago, was re- leased from durance when it was found that his finger print did not conform to that of the murderer, whose thumb print was left on bot tie of soda at the store of the old mer- chant at the time he was killed. The killing of the Chinaman was most brutal and a wide search is being made for the parties who committed the deed.

cover sugar used, on hand, and other
requirements, and show their present
situation that we may know whether
they are complying with United
States Food rulings. If these reports
are not filed by June 10, no sugar
will be allotted for the balance of
1918, to any manufacturer failing to
make such returns. In other words.
If any manufacturer has in stock. a
larger amount of sugar, and thinks
thereby he has no occacion to apply
to the Food Administrator, and does
not take cognizance Of the rules. he
will suffer the penalty for his failure
