a prodigal and a spendthrift. He lived
luxuriously. spent money recklessly

him when he was penniless; penury
was the result of improvidenee. For

NORTHERN COUNTIES
 MUST COMBINE Good Roads Through North Must Come Through Individual Efforts of Counties Tourists Bound
 to Come Our Way
(Coconino Sun)

The Mohave County Good Roads
 Association at Kingman are en.
 thusiastic for the northern route
 and style it 'The Santa Fe,
 Grand Canyon-Needles Route, on the grandest scenic highway
 in the world. The association,
 with Dr. J. R. Woodside as pres ident, is sending out the follow ing letter, asking for the coop eration of other counties:
 The matter of good roads, and especially this road across five northern counties, it seems to me at this time has a special interest to us of the north.
 will give you an idea of what we are doing, and what we hope to do: We organized the Mohave County Good Roads Association, and commenced work: Our first object was to get Needles in ac- cord with our ideas. so twenty five of our business men went to Needles, and met with the busi- ness men there, and we found them in hearty accord, they, or rather SanBernardino county will take the road at Topoc and build it across their county.
 1 am informed that the Santa Fe R. R. will make arrangements whereby machines can be trans ferred without delay.
 Our board of supervisors has called an election to vote $100, 900 worth of bonds, for the building of this road across the county.
 At a meeting of our association held the evening of the 9th. when we had some of our Pres colt friends with us, the discus sion brought out the necessity of having an organization. the five northern counties participating in the organization. It was decided | to call meeting to be held at | Kingman on the 18th of this when such an organiza- jon could be perfected, and va .ious matters of interest be dis that would be beneficial 0 all. This would also give us some unit of action in the matter ,f building and hastening this work toward completion.
 This plan was further adopted o take the train here the eve- ling of the 18th and go to San 3ernadino, there to hold a meet ng with those of like kind on the 10th, this meeting to be thorough y reported. This seems to me would give us some good adver- ising and would be beneficial in he east. I have made arrange nents for a round trip fare from of one fare and third, nd have also asked for two pull Oan sleepers to be placed on the iding for our use.
 have written Col. Twitcel, of .as Vegas. N. M.. to be present t this meeting and address us on his historical route. He is a cry interesting and instructive peaker.
 1 have written to men in each f the four counties and asked hem to participate in this meet : 1g.
 I hope that you will interest : our people, and have a good del gation present.
 l should appreciate an early indicating your views in lis move, and the number from our county that will likely at. end.
 Yours Respectfully.

Streak of Bad Luck.

Hancock Record The Carlos Hall
family will begin the new year with
a streak of bad luck that is pretty
serious. While returning from Clon-
tart last week the team he was driv-
ing felt extra good and were showing
considerable life. They started to
run once while passing another team
but Carlos quieted them and drove on
a bit farther when suddenly both
jumped and as the road was slippery
and the grade bit sliding the wagon
"slewed" around and Carlos was jerkeG
or thrown over the dash board, receiv-
ing several bruises and sustaining g
fracture of one of the bones of the
right arm just above the wrist. Then
the day after Christmas when one Of
the neighbor lads was in to show the
Hall lads his new air rife, thinking
all the shot was out of the rife. he
pulled the trigger to show the boys
how hard the air was compressed.
There was one shot left in the gun
and it struck little Eva. who was
standing near looking out of the
window in the hand on the inside near
the base of the thumb of the left hanc
and it took an hour or tWo of work or
DR.. Ransom's part before the shot
could be located and extracted. L
was pretty painful operation as j
was thought best not to give the chilC
chloruform and it was necessary t.
lance pretty deep though using loca
anes thetic to deaden the pain as much
Las possible.

The Teakettle as a Doctor.

The old teakettle that Mother and
dad used to have sitting on the
stove in the winter evenings, singing
elf-like songs and belching little white
clouds of steam from its crooked
stem, stewing and gurgling continu-
ously, saved doctors bills for Mother
and dad. If those who live in
bot-air-heated or hot-water-heated
homes will just look back to those
days and see how religiously Mother
kept the kettle boiling. they will find
another reason why Mother and Dad
were healthy.
Humidity in the atmosphere inside
the home. is just as essential as
humidity in the air out o'-doors. Low
percentage of moisture inside induces
headaches, low vitality and general
susceptibility to colds. The average
outside humidity during the winter is
about 65 per cent of saturation. The
relative indoor humidity should be
about the same. The drier the air is
in a room, the harder it is to heat,
for the reason that the heat passes
through. When there is moisture in
the air. however, the heat is arrested
and the room is warmed.
Mother md "Dad know this and
Mother and ''Dad" kept the little
old kettle continually steaming or
the stove. If these who live in homes
now that are almost hermetically
sealed when the windows are dowr
If they will keep a kettle on the
stove or occasionally each day cause
water to be evaporated in the room.
they will find the air warmer. fine
themselves feeling brighter and find
they are less susceptible to colds.
Many Of the poorer homes in Mime
sofa are better human habittations
than the mansions and apartments oi
the rich because they afford better
ventilation and because they have thc
little old kettles stewing on thf
stoves.

degrees. inches.

A review of the weather shows that
1912 was one of the coldest years
since 1884. Only seven years during
the past 81 years have been colder
than 1912 and only four of the seven
have averaged more than de-
gree colder. The four years were
1886. 1887 1888 and 1890. The
mean or average temperature for the
past 27 years is 41.38 degrees. The
yearly variation from this yearly aver
age rarely exceeds one or two degrees.
By comparing the months of different
years the variation in temperature is
very noticeable. Some months being
warmer and some colder than u.ual.
When the average temperature of the
several months of the year are footed
up the variation is but slight.
During 1912 the January record
was nearly thirteen degrees colder
than the average for January. Feb
uary was nearly two degrees warmer
than the average. March three de-
grees colder than the average. April
two and half degrees warmer May
degree and a half warmer. The
summer months June, July, August
also September were all colder th&n
the average of from one and half to
over three degrees, and October was
more than two degrees warmer than
the average. November nearly six
degrees warmer and December nearly
five degrees warmer than the average.
The period when warm weather il
expected was unusually cool and the
time when cold weather was looked
for was remarkably mild The lowest
