~ view of the future, but he may be right in this:
"We approaching a state of civil war.
Anarchists, sydcalsts, l. w. w. and various forms
of socialism and communism are seeking to confscate
property, to natonalize industry and to have what
called the proetariat control the government.
cit is part of world wide movement and the coal
strike is part of program Of communism
"The coal strike is not "a good faith campaign for

Prosperity and the Sugar Shortage

TN HERE CAN BE NO DOUBT that the prosperity of
the country has had something to do with the pres
ent sugar shortage, though shipping abroad and
boarding has cut figure in it also.
1t cannot be denied that the consumption of soft
drinks has multiplied since the began and it is also
well known fact that the sale of candies has more than
doubled We have statistics, but observation
tells us that this is so.
Candy the most frequent gift to the bow ia camp
and many boy touched piece of candy before
ne went to camp, and now comes home a candy eater
The boys in the camps in return bought more CANDY
gifts for the girls at home than before so we can
easily how the candy habit grown And still it is
growing Only this week note that Atlanta candy
hrm fosnng giant corporation Only prosperity in
the country could stand for all this
Then the soft drink business was also boosted by the
and by regulations Cutting out the booze from
army and the final cutting out the booze from
the country at large not only added the prosperity of
the country but created demand for soft drinks that
is still gEowdng.
So millions of pounds of sugar are going into candy
and soft drinks and will keep going this way as long
ms the people demand these things and can pay the bill
The fact that over hundred divorces were granted
in the Savannah courts last week would Indicate that
it is not who knows what they want until thew
get it.

Dewitt was in Mesa yesterday in vestigating bold theft of IS head of black-fac sheep which were taken Monday night from the John Birchnett ranch situated on the north road from Mesa to Tempe.
