RIGID ENFORCEMENT
 0F HEADLIGHT LAW
 WILL BEGIN TONIGHT

Notice was served yesterday that rigid enforcement of the headlight provision of the new traffic ordinance would begin at once. Though it was stated that part of the ordinance would become effective on January 15, though the rest of the ordinance went into force on December of last year, the automobilists of. Phoenix were given a further leeway
 But that will be brought to an end. Traffic Officer Anderson and the night policemen have been preparing for 1t by watching the streets at night and giving warning and instructions to those who have not already complied with the headlight provision.
 There have been scores of machines driven about without headlights, with single headlight, or without a tail- light. Still more have not been equipped with the required lenses, and most of those who have put on those lenses which require adjustment by means of rotating bending the brackets have not compiled with this requirement.
 But now all cars will be rigidly in spected for the prescribed lenses, for the adjustment of those that require adjustment, and for a full compliance with the ordinance. It is expected that for the next few days the city will be enriched by the imposing of many fines.

BROWNSVILLE, Texas, Jan. 29.- Several aviators of the Eighth Aero squadron at McAllen, Texas. tonight were awaiting permission from the Mexican government to cross the in ternational boundary and carry oil and gasoline to Lieutenants E. F. Davis and G. E. Grimes, who made a forced landing 30 miles below the Zapata county Texas border yesterday Ma jor Torrez, acting commander of Mex ican troops in the Matamoros district, telegraphed the Mexican war depart ment today recommending such per mission be granted.
 Grimes and Davis still are at Guer- rero, a Mexican village 40 miles west of Matamoros, according to latest ad- vices at Fort Brown. It was said the two flyers probably would remain there until they are able to bring out their machine, the landing of which was forced by exhaustion of the supply of gasoline after the aviatorS had become lost in fog. They are not prisoners, except in a technical sense, it was said at Fort Brown, and are being shown every courtesy by Mexican officials.
 The rescue" squadron planned to proceed to Guerrero late today, but failure of Major Torrez to receive a response from Mexico City to his rec ommendation delayed the program. It was hoped the flight might be made early tomorrow

Sexson stated that the Y would encourage the observance of the week in every club and church in the city and although the idea is yet new, the cooperation of a number of the organ iZationS had already been secured.

Sugar has come to be a most alb.
sorbing topic on account of it's spec
tacular rise in price and it's scarcity
The Montana housewife has regard
ed it as her especial problem and
probably does not know that the gro
Ger and the wholesaler have done
considerably more worrying about it
than she has.
She has watched prices of other
commodities increase a little more
than 100 per cent during the past
few years. She wonders why sugar
outstripped all of them and shot up
400 per cent in a short time. She
naturally felt some resentment, and
most of it was directed at her grocer
because he is the man who demands
the high price she has to pay and
consequently she thinks he is the
man who must be exacting a fabul-
Gus profit.
Something is wrong with the SUI
gar situation, radically wrong, Mon
tana grocers say, but the merchant
is just as helpless to stay the trend
of sugar prices upward as is the
housewife. The retail grocer has
never made any money on sugar. 1t
is a staple which, according to the
best traditions of the grocery bust
ness, has always been sold at cost, or
even below cost, when the expense of
handling is considered. The grocer

Montana school children who have
been observing the rules of the
modern health crusade during the
present school year and who attain
the rank of 'knight banneret" al
the end of their crusade period will
next fall be accorded an honor rare
in the annals of the youth OF the
state. Governor S. V. Stewart will
during the week of the state fair, pre-
side at an imposing ceremony known
in the parIance of knighthood as an
accolade, at which all Montana cru
saders who present proper creden-
tials will be awarded their knightly
rank by the states chief executive.
Mrs. Sara E. Morse, executive secre-
tary of the Montana tuberculosis as
ISOLATION, under whose supervision
the crusade is directed in the schools
of Montana, is planning many inter
esting features to lend attraction to
the accolade, and knightly costumes
for the young crusaders will be pro-
yided so that each may receive the
blow that transforms him into a
knight CARRIED in fitting and worthy
robes. Beside the awarding of
knightly rank the ceremony will be
marked with singing of modern
health crusade songs by the children
and presentation of insignia OF rank
to the youthful jousters.
The modern health crusade is a
movement for the purpose of instill-
ing habits of health and hygiene into
the daily life Of school children.
Chores, numbering IL, must be per-
formed faithfully each day for 15
weeks in order that the crusader may
attain the exalted dignity of "knight
b%anneret." Lower ranks of knight
hood are attained at the end of short
err periods, and every child is eligible
for entry in the contest. Two weeks
of observance of the health rules
wins for the combatant in the battle
for good health the title of page"
five weeks makes him a squire, ten
weeks a knight and at the end of the
18th week he becomes a knight ban
neret. Pins of various designs are
awarded at the different intervals
above noted and all Montana children
who can show their knight banneret
pin next fall at the time of the acco-
lade at the fair grounds may partici-
pate in the ceremony, which promises
to be one of the attractions at the fair {,
in 1920.
The Montana tuberculosis associa-

contest in the schools of the
state and is offering cash prizes for
the best art products in poster form
setting forth various phases of the
fight on tuberculosis. This contest
will close on September 10 and the

} Statistics compiled by the Montana

been Melted to the state from filing
fees and more companies continue to
come.
When it is considered that there
are hundreds of thousands of acres
of prospective oil lands in Montana,
and that in developed oil fields, as
small a tract as 10 acres is consid-
cred as justifying the formation of
a company with a capital of from a
quarter of a million upwards, Mon
tana should, by the end of the year,
have companies formed representing
an authorized capital of half a bill
lion dollars. Only a part of the COM
panies are selling stock, as many of
them are holding companies who are
developing their leases on a royalty
basis, hence have no need of selling
stock.

legitimate and regular trade chan

to gamble in, and the gamblers had
seen their chance and seized it.
The wholesale grocers of the coun-
try gathered much valuable data on
the situation known only to the gro
GERS themselves, but during the past
few weeks enough evidence has been
placed in the hands of the United
States department of justice to show
where the sugar is and what is be-
ing done with it. There has been
evidence enough furnished by these
business men to enable the depart
ment to take the initial steps neces-
sary for the protection of the Ameri-
can housewife against further goug-
ing, and it is possible that some re-
lief is in sight, the grocers say.
They have enlisted the refiners of
the country in the fight and the lat
ter have pledged themselves to set
up a system under which sales will
be confined to a narrow field of pur-
chasers. The department of justice
will be able to tell from refiners' re-
ports submitted every 80 days the
actual price of raw sugars, the exact
location of all supplies distributed,
and an effective check will be given
upon the margin of profit by jobbers
and retailers.
Representative Howard of Okla

bill carrying heavy penalties for
speculation in sugar, he announced
after he had conferred with Assist
ant Attorney General Howard Figg,
and stated that he had been con-
WINGED that spectators in sugar had

1.-THE Anaconda Standard as its first
business manager and soon acquired
an important place upon its editorial
staff where his journalistic abilities
won for him considerable notice.
In 1891 he began the publication
of the Butte City Bystander, the
first labor paper to be issued in the
state. He disposed of this paper a
year later to establish the Evening
Mail, at Boise, Idaho, then the only
democratic paper in that state. This
he sold in 1898 and resumed his la
bors with the Anaconda Standard
with which he remained until 1895,
when he purchased the New North
west, a weekly paper being issued at
Deer Lodge. This, in turn, he dis
posed of late the same year and re-
turned to Anaconda, where he was
appointed magistrate of the munich
pal police court.
Mr.. Kennedy was ever extremely
active in politics and in the fall of
1896 was elected on the democratic
ticket as a member of the fifth legis-
lative assembly, where he was chosen
to preside as speaker of the house.
Veteran of Philippine War
In 1898 at the beginning of the
Spanish-American war, he was ap-
pointed by Governor Smith a second
lieutenant in Company M, First Mon
tana infantry, and was later trans
ferred to company K and advanced
to first lieutenant. He went to the
Philippines with his regiment but
after several months service he was
invalided home with an attack of
peritonitis through which he nearly
lost his life.
In 1900, after having been defeat
ed in the democratic convention for
nomination for police magistrate of
he ran Independently and
was elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. In the fall of 1900 he was
state senator from Deer
running more than 1000
votes ahead of his ticket. In the
ensuing legislative assembly he serv-
as chairman of four of the most
important committees of the senate.
In the 1900 campaign he was a

working in conjunction with Other
large wholesale grOcers' associations
some time ago determined to fine
out what is wrong in the sugar mar
ket and to try to find a remedy. Co
ing at the problem in a business-like
way, the grocers of the country have
learned many things which make the
story of sugar one of absorbing in
%terest, and one with a rather start
ling climax.
In Montana each year since the ad-
vent of prohibition, the amount OF
sugar consumed is 100000 sacks.
This amount permits a per capita
consumption of 80 pounds. In the
old days, when the cost of living was
at the point which we are now pleas
ed to consider normal, sugar cost six
cents per pound. The increase since
then, figured at the rate of present
sugar prices, means an outlay of
about 100000 more than Mon
tanans would be spending for sugar
were the price normal.
IfTthe price had advanced but 100
per cent, like most other commodi-
ties, the added cost of sugar would
be only about 100000. The
startling conclusion is, then, that
about $6,000,0 900 of Montana money
is going into the pockets of the sugar
profiteers.
The Montana Wholesale Grocers
do not fix the sum quite that high,
but they admit that at present prices,
we're conditions to remain unchang-
ed, the yearly toll which the profit
GERS would exact of Montanans would
be around s4,5O0,000. But, they
also predict that if something is not
done to take sugar out of the hands
of food profiteers, the price will go
much higher, perhaps to 80 or 35
cents, within a short time, and the
toll would be much greater.
When sugar grew scarce and COM
menced to rise in price, the whole
sale grocers found that there was a
amount in the hands of specu-
.ators who were offering it through
brokers' at prices several cents in
advance of the constantly rising mar
1et quotations. They found also
hat the refiners would not supply
heir regular trade.
They found that spectators, after |
he failure of the government to pur-
,hase the Cuban sugar crop at a nom
nal price, had rushed in and bid up
Ill of the raw sugar available and
lad had it refined on toll. The Gu
crop had not gone through the
