Draft Laws Confuse
 Rights of Soldiers
Aliens Without First Papers Have Difficulty in Attaining Citizen
 ship Though Soldiers.

tAYlost 500 petitions are before the Superior court asking that citizenship be granted aliens and citizens of other lands. Among this number are 250 alien enemy petitioners, including both Germans and Austrians. Most of these alien enemies have heen de clared exempt from rules governed by the espionage act on account of their exemplary conduct during the war and apparent loyalty to the United States.
 Almost every European country is represented on the list of applicants and it Is probable that very few of those desiring citizenship will be dis appointed.
 A confusing situation has arisen, on account of conflicting naturalization laws, applying to discharged soldiers. During the draft many citizens of al lied countries became soldiers of the United States, many of whom have fought in the hardest battles of the American Army. These men who have lately been discharged from the army now find that they cannot qual- ify for citizenship unless they pro- duce thsir first papers along with an honorable discharge from the army However, the law has taken care of more fortunate soldiers by providing that, "a. soldier in the service. after being examined by a commissioner, may be immediately naturaized.' The discharged soldier, therefore, is still considered an alien unless he can pro- duce his first papers. In many cases first papers have been lost or de- stroyed and it seems like an injustice to tell a man that he lost valuable
 rights in not making hts application
 for citizenship before being dis charged.
 Court officials are of the opinion
 that & law will soon be in force which
 will eliminate the present confusion
 and status of the discharged alien sol dier

Why coffee costs more now.

During the war, coffee did not go up in price like most everything else.
 That was because none, practically, could be sent across the ocean from South America the worlds supply IS grown.
 Minute the armistice was signed, con ditions changed. Now the bulk of it is being sent there. And at higher prices because Europe is coffee hungry.
 That sends American prices up-for the Government would not allow dealers here to have more than 90 days supply in stock.
 So we and all other roasters, are pay ing more. We must do that or accept coffee of lower grade. It's better, ism it, to keep quality up?
 For the present, these are the prices of the different blends of HoWco coffee:-
