SUBMARINES CAUSE
SHORTAGE OF SUGAR

FLAGSTAFF. June II. Recent
submarine activities on the Atlantic
seaboard are responsible for orders
issued by the federal food administra-
ton for Arizona cutting the allow
ance Of sugar sold to householders
for ordinary use. The amount which
the rural customer is allowed to buy
is cut from ten pounds to five pounds
and city and town customers are out
from FIVE pounds to two pounds. Pur-
chases must not exceed the govern
ment ration of three pounds per per
son per month.
Much shipping and considerable
sugar has been lost at sea within
the last two months. Every avail
able ship is now needed for trans-At-
lantic service in carrying men and
supplies. thus making it necessary to
]
reduce shipping between Cuba and
New York. the principle point OF
sugar refining and distribution. Sup
( plies from across the Pacific are i'm
practical on account OF the great
I distance So the situation is one
rather OF ships than of shortage OF
raw sugar This was the explanation
afforded by food administration off
Gals today.
The 25-pound allowance for sugar
for canning purposes still stands
Dealers are warned against selling
sugar for home canning without the
filing of the proper certificate by the
toned to return any surplus not used
for canning purposes TO the dealer.
Hotels and restaurants Throughout
the state have removed the sugal
bowl from the table. thereby effectine
tremendous saving. On the frs
day this plan was placed in effect b!
the Y. W. c. A. cafeteria at Phoeni,
ten pounds of sugar were saved.
The eating of expensive candies ricl
in sugar is regarded by the food al
ministration an unpatriotic extrava
gance in these dogs of sugar shortag
and individuals are asked to curtai
their consumption Of sugared drinks

ARIZONA IMPROVES
CONCRETE POURING

WARREN, June Thames Turney
an engineer here, believes he has an
improved method of pouring concrete
ships to build a bridge Of ships to
France. The improved feature OF
his method is in releasing the forms
in which the concrete is poured. This
is done by electric motors and the
forms may be opened to permit the
ship to be launched and closed again

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

Captain Harry Wheeler. former territorial ranger
later sheriff of Cochse County. at time fraught with
menace TO the nation and now captain in the American
in France with wound to his credit already
made apt comparison when. in his cablegram to the
Bisbee Review giving defiance to the politicians, l. W.
w. sympathiZers and other traitors" he says:
1.-The Eagles feel only contempt for these vutures
at home, but do not fear them
Traitors l. W. W. sympathizers, and politicians. are
birds of feather and vultures is what they They
may turn their coats and voubly protest their patriot
ism but their status is fixed because the swift events of
the last year segregated them and classified Them they
the today they before the great deci
sion was forced upon them all unprepared They NAV
struggle against the net of evidence but the continuity
of careers still connects them with that not distant per-
od wheE politicians felt free play fast and loose with
civic and official responsibility.
We have doubt but that Captain Wheeler speaks
from the heart when he voices his contempt for the v
lures He is ont there Tin contact with the
itself the which traitors and dsoyal dare aid
only by ndirection in the United States There only
Eagles there in France and out there where the
forces of democracy in daily contact with the Huns
There may be vutres. but they eahered and they
YOU not imagine, reader, the which these out
there feel for the members of that organization which
despises and insults the flag under which they fight for
the silent partners of the l. W. W. Who because of their
sympathy fear do not raise their hands their voice
against the of the home vutures for the pot-
clans who to gain votes encourage the activities and the
creed of the l. W. D. by silence when they called up
record themselves of defend them by indrecon!
Birds of feather flock together. The eagles are
either in France or at home supporting those in France
BIZ there vultures there. Captain Wheeler
ays They always stay at home and they always flock
together.
Captain Wheeler gave one career to this state when
he served territorial in the days when there
plenty of human coyotes and vultures. He gave
another career sheriff of COchse county at period
fraugh with danger to the United States and he is Civ
ing another to the nation by serving in France
But when Captain Wheeler applied for service in
the army and commissioned captain, there arose
howl from his eemies and protest was made to the
war department. There was mighty beating of wings
and milling of birds-vultures.
But the eagle is screaming there and Captain
Wheeler is with the eagle.-Tucson Star.
