BILLS MUST BE
PAID IF STATUTE
IMPOSES DUTY

Those bills in excess of the appro-
priation of various boards Of the city
held up for payment some time ago
by the Finance committee as in vio-
lation of the city charter, in the opin-
ion of City Attorney Thomas M. Gull
Imam must be paid. Attorney Guilt
nan ruled that bills so contracted
imposed by statute or absolute neces-
sary to the protection of property
must be paid. This opinion will al
low the Finance committee to approve
the excess bills of the Probate court
the city court, dog warden, fire de-
partment and bridge department and
also that of the Hydraulic Company,
which made changes in the hydrants
at the town farm.
There were but two members of
the committee present last evening.
The two questioned two bills, the one
of Assistant Building Inspector Ward
M. Cowles for $35 for transportations.
Previously the bill was but $25 per
month. The other bill was that of
Dr. Florence Sherman, medical in
spector of the public schools. She
presented bill of IS for car fare.
The aldermen figured 1t out that this
was 100 rides. AS the schools were
closed for more than a week in April
and taking out Saturdays and Sun
days, she could not have worked more
than two weeks, so that she averaged
about 10 rides per day.

THE PRICE OF A oHILD's HAT.

Some people believe that child's
hat should not cost as much as a hat
intended for an adult, because of the
fact that it is a childs hat, notwith-
standing the fact that the child's hat
may take more material in the max
ing as well as in the trimming than
a. hat intended for an adult. There
are others again who would make
sacrifices as regards their own ap-
pearance in order that their children
should have attractive headwear, but
the contrary is the general rule. Men
and women of small stature will
sometimes find wearing apparel in
youths and girls departments to fit
better and at somewhat less cost than
the same suit costs in the adult de-
partment a trifle larger-but this does
not apply to children's hats. mann
ma may wear a small hat on the
toque order, conservatively trimmed,
while daughter would wear a wide
leaf effect taking four times the am
cunt of braid or other material, and
deliberately trimmed, but she would
be astonished if she were asked four
times the price.

confusion the night the lodge meets.
The benefits are 81 per week in
sickness or accident, 500 for burial,
and free medical attendance to each
member and family, and also his
father and mother if dependent up
on him. This has been done for
more than seven years, and it is this
that has made the Moose the fastest
growing order in the world
Statistics for the past seven years
are as follows on basis Of 1000

The above has been proven to be
correct. The Moose has never lost
or allowed a lodge to disband. Once
lodge is organized the supreme
lodge, through the organization de-
partment, keeps it UP to the original
charter number by opening the
charter and building up the member
ship if needed and the lodge cannot
do it itself. The Loyal Moose has
no supreme officers drawing big SAL
aries. After the charter closes and
the fee is raised to $25 all of it and
$3.50 of the dues remain in the To-
cal lodges treasury.
The Moose is not a class organiza-
ton, but open to all good white male
citizens in good standing in the COM
munity and engaged in lawful occu-
pations, between the ages of FL and
55 years. If over 55 you can come
in as a social member with the dues
only 25 cents per month.

CLINIC FOR
CHILDREN is
OPEN TODAY
Board of Health Sets Aside $1OO
For Purchases of Glasses For
Children With Defective
Vision

This afternoon at 2 o'clock with DR.
Herbert E. Smythe in charge the first
of the Board of Health clinics for
school children was held in the Police
and Charities building,> top floor
Under the direction of DR.. George
W. Osborn, president of the board
arrangements have been completed
for the clinics. School children found
in need of medical attention whose
parents are unable to provide them
with professional care will be given
treatment.
The clinics thus far arranged are
as follows: Tuesday. to 8 O'Clock,
to 8; DR.. Smythe, ear, most and throat
clinic, Friday, 4 to 5; DR.. Ober skin
clinic.
The matter of providing children
with defective vision with glasses has
been given careful attention The
quarters provided for the clinics have
been equipped with all the requisite
instruments. and especially provided
with the eye testing devices.
DR.. Osborn has succeeding in per-
suading the board of health to au-
thorize the expenditure of s1OO in pro-
viding poor children with glasses.
He received a letter today calling
his attention to a child who had
been excluded from school. The child's
parents were unable to ascertain the
cause, and sought to enlist the au-
thorities' cooperation in returning
the youngster to school. The teachers
feared the child's vision would be
permanently affected, by straining the
eyes without glasses, and also, fear
ed a nervous condition would arise
from the youngsters inability to
make progress despite earnest effort.
The father declared he couldn't af-
ford to buy glasses, which would cost
81, because of heavy expenses of sick
ness in the family and the like and
the child will now in all probability
be the first to profit through the
board of healths authorization of 500
expenditure for just such cases.

At Phenix the Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress was organized this week with Gov. Richard E. Sloan, as president; w. B. Twit- chell, vice president; second vice president, A. J. Sampson; secretary, Harold Baxter; and treasurer, R. B. Burmister. The new chapter has been organized in view of the meeting of the American Mining congress either in Douglas or Phenix this year. Governor Sloan. who is at the head of the Chapter is widely interested in mining in this territory and has done much to bring the territory to the at tention of mining men throughout the country. To make the chapter ef- fective the support of the mining people throughout the territory should be given the movement for the building up of this branch of the Congress.

Evans Big Dry Farm.

Newton Evans, accompanied by his son and another Los Angeles gentle man, was in Kingman last Wednesday attending to some important business matters. He has gotten his big trac- tion engine in readiness at Yucca to run out to the Scouts We'll section, where it will be put to work breaking up an immense area of land for the purpose of experimenting in dry farm ing. The land is rich and capable, un- der proper conditions, of raising grains, fruits, and in fact anything that can be raised anywhere on earth, except citrus fruits. It is also Mir. Evans intention to sink a number of wells throughout the tract for garden ing and other purposes. In the event that water can be had at superficial depth it may be used to aid in the ir- rigation of large part of the lands, but the main dependence is to be placed on dry farming. At the pres ent time there are thirty acres of the finest wheat grown in Arizona four ishing luxuriently on lands near the Evans tract, which has never been ir- rigated artificially since the seed was sown.
 After breaking up the ground on the farm Mir. Evans contemplates using the big traction engine on an ore haulage from the McCracken mine to the railroad.

Dreadful Accident.

In fire that destroyed their tent house at the camp of the Frisco Mines & Power company, last Thursday at noon, the eight-months-old baby boy of Mir. and Mrs. Cloyd Richardson was burned to death. The mother had gone from the house but few minutes and when she returned the place was a mass of flame. All efforts to rescue the child were unavailable, and when the fire had cleaned up the tent the charred body of the little fellow was found.
 The little fellow was one of the loveliest babies in the county and was a general favorite with all in camp. The bereaved parents are prostrated over their great loss.
