CHEESE AND CRACKER PUZZLE
Exact Ratio in Which Two Articles of
Food Should Be Consumed Is
Shown by illustration.

Chef Louis is showing the exact ra-
Ito in which crackers and cheese
should be consumed. Says Louis
The balance board, which weighs one
half as much as the cheese, has four
fifths of its length on one side of the
balance point. The cheese weighs
ten pounds, SO who can tell the weight
of the crackers ?"
Louis said the cheese weighed ten
pounds and the balance board five
pounds. Four-ffths of the board, and
therefore four pounds of its weight
was on one side of the balance point.

HUNTERS SUFFER
ACCIDENT NEAR
CAMP WOOD
HOWARD BURMISTER AND
ROBERT YOUNG HURT
WHEN THEIR CAMPING
WAGON OVERTURNS
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Howard Burmister and Robert
Young were the victims OF an I'M
fortunate accident near Camp Wood
on Sunday about noon when the
wagon in which they were riding
turned over, the former being
caught underneath and painfully in
jured.
He was brought to Prescott yes
terday forenoon by L. L. Harmon
in an auto and taken to the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. H.
Burmister, to receive medical treat
ment His injuries consist of many
bruises on the back of his body,
but fortunately no bones were bro
ken, neither is he injured internally.
Mr.. Young also escaped with
slight injuries, but for nearly TWEEN
ty minutes afterward was rendered
unconscious.
The trouble was due to a bolt
holding the double trees slipping
out while the wagon was descend
ing a steep hill within two miles
OF inc GdnCn mousse Oh MI HARMFUL
The wagon then started down the
grade at a lively pace, striking a
big boulder near the side of the
road which upset it and threw both
men out, Mr. Burmister falling I'M
der and Mr. Young being thrown
to the side against the rocks. 1t
was several minutes before Mr..
Burmister could extricate himself,
and that he was not seriously hurt
is remarkable.
The wagon was heavily loaded
with camp equipment. The men
were Ell route to the Camp Wood
range OF mountains on a deer hunt
ing trip for the next two weeks.
Mr., Young remained with the team
and outfit and will return in a few
days. Mr.. Burmister is confined to
his bed and it will be several days
before he will be able to resume
his mercantile duties.

OF OIL AT VERDE
(From Sundays Daily

What is said to be a fair flow
OF high grade oil has been de-
termined in the well OF the Yuma
Verde Oil Company, according to
arrivals in Prescott during the past
few days, which has occasioned the
hasty return of General Manager F.
w. Hall to the place.
He passed through this city early
in the week and is to remain at
the camp indefinitely to superin-
tend the casing of the we'll that
further drilling may go ahead. A
depth OF $50 feet was reached when
the first light flow was struck, and
according to Driller Carey, he is
elated over the outlook.
The Yuma Verde is in the hands
of few residents of Yuma, and
the project was originally initiated
by Mr.. Hall, formerly with the rec
lamation service as an engineer, and
said to be conversant with oil
land formations on the coast. Their
holdings are situated in the Middle
