TOBACCO TAX IS LIGHT; DON'T PAY TOO MUCH

James w. Quinlan, deputy collector of internal revenue, receiving returns on stocks of tobacco subject to the re- gently enacted internal revenue tax, has this to say ip regard to the new tax:
 "The new tax varies according to the form in which tobacco is put up. For instance, on Camel cigarettes, the tax is 1 9-10 cents on packages of 20. The tax on tobacco is cents pound. On cigars, it varies from $1 to SIP per 1000.
 "Dealers have right to pass the increased tax to the consumer, but they must not charge higher tax rate as tax to the consumer, than the government. For instance, if deal CT increases the price of two ounce sack of tobacco two cents and claims that the increase is due to the tax, he is subject to prosecution, because the increased tax on whole pound is only cents, which allows 1-5 ounces for a tax. The penalty for such misrep- resentation of the amount of tax is a fine of $1,000, and years imprison- ment," according to MT. Quinlan.

FRANK BROOKS PRESENTS PET,
 DEER TO STATE GAME WARDEN

Frank Brooks shipped his pet five year-old deer to State Game Warden Joe Prochaska Monday to add to his rapidly growing herd of wild game an imals at the State Fair grounds.
 The deer, which is now handsome antlered buck, was picked up about five years ago by MT. Spencer on the noad to his minig property northeast of Flagstaff. A doe had been shot, leaving two little lawns a few days old. He picked them up and fed them on canned milk for a long time. One of them died and later he gave this one to Frank Brooks.
 As with most buck deer, he became dangerous, especially with strangers, and he concluded to get rid of him. While he never hurt any one, he ripped up Brooks best trousers in stampede one day. and at another time made life miserable for a rancher named Beach. Beach was compelled to hold him by the neck until help came to help let him go.

Ne,us of Soldiers and Sailors
DEDICATE TREES TO
 SOLDIERS ARBOR DAY.

Nationwide observation of Arbor Day through the planting of trees ded- icated to soldiers who died during the war was urged recently by Secretary Houston in letter to governors of the states. He asserted he could not con- ceive a better way to keep alive the memory of those who had fallen.
 "Now that the great war has come to its conclusion," MT. Houston said in his letter, i've shall seek many ways to perpetuate the memory of those who made the great sacrifice. It has been happily suggested that we do this by adorning with young trees, each named for 8 fallen soldier, our way sides, our yards and our pleasure places. This can be done on arbol day, which is now at hand, in most of our states. Such an observance of the day will give it meaning more pro. found, purpose more exalted, than it ever had before"

VICTORY LOAN TROPHY TRAIN
 WILL MAKE BIG TOUR

The Victory Loan Trophy Train that will start from San Francisco on Sat urday, April 12, to tour California, Arizona and Nevada, will be the "best ever." Nothing to compare with it has ever been sent over the tracks of the western railroads, and loan leaders believe it will stir up unusual enthusiasm.
 The train will be dedicated in San Francisco with big program and 250 homing pigeons will be released to carry messages to their home towns, giving announcement that the train has started. A captured German mor- tar taken at Belleau Wood by the 9th regiment U. s. Marines, will be the prize for the town whose pigeon makes the best record in carrying the mes sage. Dr. Frederick D'Evelyn, of 60 Federal street, San Francisco, is re- ceiving entries of homing pigeons for the flight.
 The train will carry a whippet tank which will be driven down from the train platform to give an exhibition at each stop. Two veterans of tank service on the western front will oper. ate the tank.
 Among the trophies of the great war that will be carried on the train are: compressed air bomb throwers; German minenwerfers; French, Ger. man and American machine guns; "flying pigs;" German Zepperlin mo. tor; sniper shields; flame thyowers; periscopes, depth bombs; observation tower; high explosive shells; German coats; engineers pontoon boat; and hundreds of other relics.
 American dogs of war will be ex- hibited and every possible relic of in- terest from the war will be explained by American heroes who saw action in the greatest yank offensives.
 Music will be provided by navy band. The itenerary has not been completed, but during the % days that the train vii be out more than 150 stops will be made.

SALE OF SKINS NETS
 STATE 4 LARGE SUM.

Yesterday in the war work building, 1 the biological survey bureau sold over 1000 worth of skins and hides of pre- datory animals captured and killed by state trappers in the last few months NJ. T. Musgrove, predatory animal in- spector for Arizona, graded 150 coyote belts, 59 lynx, 39 grey fox, IS swift, 33 skunk, 15 badger, 3 raccoons, 2 wild dogs, and wolf, and his estimate was within fifty dollars of the highest of fer. The bids were opened yesterday at p. m., by State Treasurer Jesse Boyce. The successful bidder was Eff from & Co.,, an Arizona firm with hou- ses in Tucson and Phoenix. The col lection of skins was an unusually fine lot and brought an excellent price.
 Inspector Musgrove still has several magnificent mountain lion skins and | one wolf skin for sale at his office in the war work building.
 ated with the federal bureau in the work of exterminating predatory ami mals and rodent pests. Senate bill 15, which the governor signed on Mar. 10th, repeals the bounty laws and car ries with it an appropriation equal to that of the federal government for Ar izona, but it is not to exceed $50,000. The old bounties were not sufficient to induce professional hunters and trappers to engage in the work of ex- terminating the predatory animals or rodent pests. There were a few who hunted and trapped for the sake of the furs. But in the case of the rodent pests there was no such inducement The animals killed in the past for which bounties were paid were mostly the kills of stockmen and would have been killed even if there had been no bounty. Under the new system the real offenders, both predatory and pestilential, will be ruthlessly exter- minated by the state and federal hun ters. Musgrove will have 16 federal hunters and 15 for the state in April. located all over the state. It has been difficult to engage enough experienced wolf hunters, and cattlemen and sheep men will be glad to learn that the Glaze brothers, two of the most noted wolfers of the west will be transferred to Arizona from New Mexico next month.
 D. A. Gilehrest, rodent pest direc- tor, and Inspector Musgrove have dur ing their varied experience in these fields collected most interesting ser ies of pictures and snapshots of ami maj life. Gilchrest has had lantern slides made from them showing the beneficial birds and mammals, and also of the obnoxious ones to be used in public demonstrations and school lectures. The biological survey bu- reau is planning to give exhibits in- structing the public on these matters, and Gilchrest and Musgrove will in the near future begin a series of it. lustrated lectures over the state.

CLUB ENROLMENT IS
 NOW UNDER WAY.

The Boys and Girls Department of the Agricultural Extension Service announces the following projects now open for enrolment: Corn and grain sorghum raising, cotton growing, gar dening, canning, garment making, chick matching. and rearing, hog and pig raising. The department is also offering a new project entitled ''hot- lunch" This project is limited in it's enrolment to clubs formed in rural schools.
 The essential requirement for or ganization is leadership; in other words, some one. preferably some old CT person, must take the initiative, in putting the matter before the boys and girls, and then after organiza- tion, to act as the club leaders thru out the contest. This is the only con- sideration asked of the communities. The Extension Service of the Univer- sity, cooperating with the U. s. De- partment of Agriculture, will provide all the necessary blanks and instruc- tional material free of charge. In exceptional cases individuals will be granted privilege to carry on the work but ordinarily a club of at least five working in the same project and un- der leader, will be the minimum re- quirement.
 Parties interested may secure full particulars by either writing their res pective county club leader, if they have one. or addressing a communi- cation to L..S. Parke, State Club Lead CT, Tucson, Arizona.

TRUE COPY WILL BE
 ACCEPTED AS DISCHARGE

Regulations governing the payment of $6O bonus to, honorably discharged soldiers, were amended by the war department to permit the acceptance by disbursing officials of "true copy" of discharge certificates. It was found that many soldiers refused to part with the original certificate, preferring to lose the bonus rather than risk the loss of official evidence of their honorable release.
 All copies submitted under the amendment authorized must be certi- fled by the army recruiting officer nearest the soldiers residence.
 The commanding general of the 91st division that won fame in the Argonne had habit of sneaking away from headquarters and walking, unaccom- panied even by an aide, to regimental and battalion headquarters to get first hand information. He was skirting the base of a hill on such a mission one morning when doughboy jumped out of foxhole and cried:
 General, ,.sir, please, there's snipei up there on the ridge. Don't go that way"
 "If there's sniper up there," said the general quietly, before he proceed ed on his way, Ego get him."
 Some weeks before a certain now famous combat division had even heard gun shot except in practice, solitary guard promenaded impor- tantly up to division headquarters one morning with three innocent looking and somewhat puzzled German prison CTS of war.
 "They made me believe they were working like hell, mending road" he explained, ''but they couldn't fool me. '
 "Fool you," repeated the intelligence officer, quite as puzzled as the prison CTS.
 Sure! Don't you suppose know who they are? Look at that P. e.
 "Well, what about it? That's French for Prisoners of War"
 "Hell," exclaimed the doughboy, q thought it meant Prussian Guards.
 The chaplain, whose seductive brogue is music to the ears of his reg iment, was glowering balefully at the acres of Argonne mud, when the corps inspector ran across him. Things had not moved exactly according to the ordained schedule in that particular sector on the day before and the corps commander had expressed his displea' sure by relieving two units command. CTS.
 "But how's the regiment itself, ia ther?" the corps inspector ventured to ask.
 The regiments all right" the chap lain replied grimly. "it always is, but you can tell that old Prussian for me that it's very hard to keep your tail up when you've had kick in it."
