FLYERS REPORT ON PRESCOTT
 FAVORABLY

Captain L. E. App1eby, of the Air Service Flying School, Rockwell Field, and who had charge of the plane which flew cross country from Rockwell field, has written Secre- tary Grace Sparkes regarding the re- turn trip from Prescott Captain Alp pleby has recommended that the landing field at the Target Range be designated officially as a government landing field The following gives briefly description of the return trip:
 Left Prescott Wednesday after noon, April 23rd, and arrived at Kingman, Arizona, one hour and thirty minutes later. Found an ex- cellent field which had been previous ly selected by Ellington field flyers. Leaving Kingman, the same after noon a stiff wind was encountered, and very rocky trip was experienced over the desert. We ran out of gas and were compelled to land in the auto road along the Santa Fe rail road at Ludlow Junction for the night. A good landing was made, but in towing the ship to a good take off place, the rudder and right lower wing were damaged. Temporary re- pairs were made and the next morn ing we proceeded to March Field. We were compelled to land before reaching there account of failure of air pump to work properly. This was soon corrected and we reached March Field at one o'clock p. n, the same day, and after having the cen ter section and land wires frightened we proceeded to Rockwell field, ar irving here at 3:30 o'clock p. m. April 24 1919. The entire circuit flown was 928 miles and was made in eleven hours and twenty minutes act ual flying time Twenty landings were made and with the exception of the damage to the rudder and right wing mentioned above, the ship was in as good condition when we return ed to the field as when we left. All along the line we met with hearty CO., operation and were welcomed with generous hospitality. The people of both Phoenix and Prescott were most enthusiastic about having air planes land there on cross country flights, and I feel no hesitancy in saying that the Air Service fliers who land at either place will find ready response to their every requirement."
 At the beginning of his report, Captain Appleby states: "In compli- ance with telegraphic instructions from the field, proceeded to Pres colt, Arizona, nine hundred and five miles north of Phoenix, Tuesday, morning, April P, 1919, to select per manent landing field there After careful inspection of the surrounding country, the United States Govern ment target range, five miles north east of town, was selected. This field is shown on exhibit "E" at tached. It is an excellent field and is safe for the landing of all classes of planes. In approaching the field from the East, care should be taken to avoid high powered wires shown on the drawing. Two exhibition flights were made at Prescott, az gregating one hour and fifty min utes, assisting in launching the Vic tory loan campaign

RACE FOR SUGAR

Tuscaloosa, July 29,-(Special )--Tht distribution of the car of government sugar today, obtained through the en- terprise of Congressman W. B. Oliver, started off with rush yesterday morn ing and in about 45 minutes some 20 0Gf pounds, or half the car, was disposed of. Operations were discontinued because it was impossible to sack more of the stuff While sales were going on, and in ad. dition, an insufficient supply of sacks had been obtained. Mayor Robertson shut up the doors of the car and called It off until Tuesday morning at S
 A decision was also made to reduce the amount any one person or family might purchase. The limit today was 50 pounds; tomorrow it will be 25 pounds. in order to make the sugar available to more people, and in endeavor to reach the people to whom the saving is a real help. At the distribution this morning some of the wealthy people of the com munity shouldered poor folks, negroes and others in competing for the sugar although a cash store was advertising 10 pounds for a dollar. This was one Of the reasons moving the authorities to cut down the limit. Then after giving everybody a fair chance at the s1 and the 25-pound sacks, if any is left it may be sold in 50-pound lots, but not until the smaller buyers have had their chance.

 Race Troubles
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, July 29-(Special)-New ton D. Baker, Secretary of War asked the Alabama delegation today to urge the people of Alabama to refrain from unusual entertainment on the occasion Of his visit to Muscle Shoals August l5.
 This is taken to mean that the secre- tary will find it impossible to visit Bir- mingham, where he has been importuned to go. and that he will eventually decline to visit Demopolis for participation in the great rooster sale, by means of which the people of that section will con- struct bridge over the Tombgbee.
 It was announced in explanation that the secretary was going to Alabama for a very serious purpose. and not for pleas ure. It is regarded as possible that the future service of the governments pro iect in north Alabama will,be determined as a result of his visit.
