WARTIME LICENSING OF
 SUGAR DEALERS RESUMED

The wartime feature of licensing all dealers handling sugar has been re-established by the department of justice, according to advices received by United States Attorney Thomas A. Flynn. The action, it was said, was designated to halt speculation in sugar which was said to have been partly responsible for present high prices.
 Fair Price Commissioner George A. Smalley was in Phoenix from Tucson for conference with Mir. Flynn and with wholesale distributors of sugar. At the latter conference, it was decid- ed, according to an announcement, that wholesalers should not take in excess of $1 margin on sugar and that sugar on hand which was purchased at less than S20.50 per hundred pounds, should not take the new valuation. It was explained that should the replace ment value be established, it would mean 25 cent sugar in Phoenix where as under the plan proposed by MT. Smalley, the retail price ought not to exceed P cents a pound. Belief was expressed, moreover, that the latter price would not prevail in retail dis tribution generally as competition would hold the price below 22 cents for some time.

If he has no party affilia- tion he may so state, and in order to register, this question in the regis tration blank must be answered. This question of registering without giving a party affiliation does not affect the elector at the general election, but is an important factor at the primary for selection of candidates for the general election, for unless a party utilization is given the elector will not be permitted to vote for any of the candidates on the regular printed pri- mary ballot.

 A former sergeant, first class, of the signal corps, just into civvies and still painfully aware of his recent sta- tion in life, dropped into the newly organized American Legion post to all low himself to be gazed at. Present. ly one angular individual, clad in a suit which had obviously been lying in moth balls since pre-war days, ap- preached.
 What outfit was you in, buddy ?" he ventured.
 "The signal corps" the ex-non com. informed him, languidly brushing an imaginary speck of dust from the place where his chevrons had recently rested.
 The lanky one meditated, bethink- ing himself of certain blue clad tele- phone operators he had known and heard of.
 "Oh, yes," he drawled. "You know buddy, I had an aunt in the signal corps. Home Sector.

Making It Easy.
 In an early draft there was sent to one of the cantonments an Austrian who had no objections to serving in the army, but protested volubly against being sent to France on the ground that he had brother in the Austrian army and did not wish to be responsible in any way for his death. While his case was being investigated at camp headquarters he served the usual rookieship in squads right and wrong and the manual of arms.
 The very touch of the rife and bay onet seemed to increase his conscien- tious scruples, so that, before execut- ing any movement, he would burt out: But l do not want to learn this. I do not want to kill my brudder."
 The sergeant stood it as long as he could, but finally, his patience becom- ing exhausted, he shouted:
 Say, you, you don't need to worry about that. I'll kill your brother for you"

 The governments offensive against the draft tucker would have aroused greater enthusiasm on the part of the ex-sevice man if it could have been carried through while the war was still fact. But when the house is afire, and little Willie declines to take his place in the bucket brigade, the whole line should not be compelled to stand by while he is being spanked for his balkiness--not if the house is to be saved. The Argonne might have gone easier if the man in the fox hole could have known that his town mate who stuck out his tongue at Genearl Crowder was hauling up am munition along the heavily shelled road kilometer to the rear.
 And it might not have gone so well. It made difference just knowing that everybody there was willing Home Sector.

 The much-argued question as to whether the man in uniform shoul., salute her or tip his hat to her has been settled. The secretary of war has just ruled that it's up to the in- dividual."
 The 1913 regulations provided that the salutation to any person should always be "the right hand salute and that the headdress be not removed"
 The new regulation says that "mili- tary courtesies extended to either ladies or gentlemen may now com prise either the raising of the head gear or the hand salute as the individ- ual prefers, except on official mili- tary occasions"

BUFFALO, N. Y, SAYS

Just because this is novel plan for city boosting, and also because the let ter is from a child, we publish the following, which is written on a let ter-head of the department of educa- tion, of Buffalo, N. r., and which bears in either top corner the legend, Boost Buffalo. School Campaign"
 It is very clever idea, don't you think? And we wonder how many of our boys and girls could give as good and interesting letter to some distant friend or stranger about the wonderful scenery, splendid climate and other things about Flagstaff.

The veterans favor cash bonus, based on length of service, in a ratio of about 10 to l over any other plan of adjusted compensation. Their sec ond choice is farm or home-buying loans.
 Returns on the straw ballot will continue to be printed for some weeks to come, as several thousand ballots are outstanding in posts of the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and other societies, and many newspapers are carving on votes, the results of which will be add ed to the totals of The Stars and Stripes vote.

SOCOIllHO ouH,
 Flagstaff, Arizona, Dear Sirs:
 I, as a citizen of Buffalo, am doing my best to make Buffalo a large and better city.
 This week, April 12t17, is "Beost Buffalo" week. The superintendent of the schools has set aside this week to Boost Buffalo and make her the Queen City of the States" as we'll as Queen City of the Lakes" Our large and various industries enable every business man to find work in Buffalo.
 Buffalo is a very beautiful city to live in. It has many large, beautiful parks and buildings. The Historical building and the Albright Art gal lery are the only two buildings left from the Panama exposition. Be- sides Buffalo having beautiful parks and buildings it has beautiful homes and churches of all denominations. St. Paul's and St. Joseph's cathedrals are among the states greatest pieces of architecture. The schools of Buff falo are having entertainments and demonstrations concerning Buffalo, while the children of our schools are representing by means of posters, im- portant phases of Buffalo's commer- cial advantages.
 We love our city and we want ev- erybody to know it, so won't you help us by publishing this and let your city

A Smoke Barrage.

Mir. Shepherds enlightening sum- mary of the outlook in the anti-to- bacco war, published in this issue, portrays situation of whose exist ence and development the average citizen, and more specifically the av- craze smoker, is probably not aware. The scoffer who laughs between pipe puffs at the mere possibility of any ones hoping to deprive him of his smoke may with profit recall the song which the more beligerent prohibit tionists were singing ten years ago. It was called "A Saloonless Nation in 192O"-a condition which at that date seemed little likely of fulfillment as does the prospect today that Car ranza will ever be elected governor of Texas.
 Maj. Gen. Harry H. Rogers, form CT chief quartermaster, A. F.. F., and now quartermaster general, U. s. A., himself non-smoker, just before he introduced the free tobacco issue in France found on Investigating that only five men out of every hundred did not use tobacco.
 On that basis the body of ex-ser- vice men should form pretty nearly solid unit against attempted anti tobacco legislation. They are now on the ground where the tobacco battle must be fought out. If tobacco loses, they cannot charge that the depriva- ton was put over" while they were fighting Americas battle overseas.- IT I1,>an Ca,fn,

 the. Tribune.
 The Everett (Wash.) Tribune, made a preliminary count showing 39 for cash based on service, for cash re- garless, 10 for loans and 3 for tui- ton.
 Some of the largest daily papers which have printed bonus ballots have not yet reported, SO that it is hard to predict how large the total vote may be. No more ballots will be printed in The Stars and Stripes, but blanks will be furnished to posts or others who may wish to circulate them in communities which have not been reached. Ballots have been received from every congressional district, so that it is certain the straw vote is fairly representative of the entire country. The clerical force handling the ballots can count and segregate only about 5,000Sindividual ballots a week, but the totals mount up faster where other papers have made their own count and send in totals.
 Two newspapers in Duluth used the ballots, but had them forwarded di- rect to the Stars and Stripes office. and these ballots will be counted sep arately when time has elapsed for all replies to arrive. A number of gen eral reports have come from veter- ans posts, stating "all members of the post favored bonus," or some thing to that effect. These returns could not be included in the count, but all such communications are sent along to the various congressman.
 The Home Sector, veterans mag azine, took poll >in Legion posts where cash bonus and farm aid were voted on separately-pro and con. The published results were, on the cash bonus, favorable 10,956, opposed 1882; on farm aid, favorable 10,746. opposed l,450.-Stars and Stripes.
