This week there was brought in from the Nevada Arizona Mines company mill the second bar of bullion taken from that property since the mill went into commission. The bar was a nice one. The company has just gotten in the new plant by which water can be used in drilling in the Blacksmith drift, which is being run to tap the Roosevelt vein at depth of several hundred feet below the old works. The mill is now paying the operating costs of the mine and netting small profit, although a large amount of development is being carried on. H. L. Stewart, resident director of the company, was out to the mines this week and reports everything going smoothly at the property.

The weeping willows, so-called (sci- entific name s. babylonicaD, is a na- tive of China, from which country it has been taken over most of the civi- lized earth. It varies in height and dimensions, according to climate and soil, and invariably maintains its droop- ing habit, the chief cause of its at tractiveness.

Lyceum Associated Players.

The past two nights the people of Kingman have been treated to per formances by the Lyceum Associated Players. These people were formerly part of the GilmOr Brown company, which broke up here on account of the end of the season. The Gilmor Brown company was one of the best that ever came to Kingman, and the Associated Players are exceptionally good. We commend them to the playgoing public as worthy of patronage.

Raphael Pummelly of Newport, R. l. and Dublin, Me, was a recent visitor in Yuma. He was metallurgist at the Santa Rita mines in 1860 and 1864. To a reporter of the Yuma Sun he said: ''When 1 came to Arizona there were only two settlements, those of Tubac and Tucson. 1 was with Capt. Charles D. Poston at the Santa Rita when we were compelled to abandon it at the time of the murder of the five chiefs who accompanied Cochise to the fatal conference at Apache Pass.

IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. BY asking at
any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-tine recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

Euqenic Law Lessons Marriages.

The Wisconsin eugenic marriage law.
the first of it's kind in the world, has
now been in effect little over year
and the results can be estimated. The
state board of health has just reported
that one effect is a lessening of the
number of marriages contracted. It
appears that about four thousand
couples less took the big jump in 1914
than in 1913
In 1914 1925 regular ceremonials
were reported and 81 common law
=: arriages were recorded. In the
previous year there had been 21,O52
marriages.
The board of health does not believe
the eugenic law is entirely responsible
for the decline. It says:
"On account of the great prevalence
of certain diseases in the state. it is
only reasonable to expect that there
would be some decline in the number
of marriages reported if the eugenic
law is properly enforced, on account
of the inability on the part of the
prospective bridegroom who is afflicted
with either of these diseases to obtain
a medical certificate. Undoubtedly
some of the parties who were unable
to pass the required examination or
who suspected that they would not
pass went out of the state to be mar
ried, and in other cases common law
marriage was resorted to.
1T would, of course, be unjust to
charge that all the bridegrooms who
went out of the state to be married or
who evaded the law by contracting
common law marriages were so af-
f1icted. In some instances the parties
felt that the eugenic law was serious
infringement of their personal liberties
and were married outside the state to
avoid it's provisions. In others common
law marriage was resorted to by
perfectly healthy people purely be-
cause of the novelty of the ceremony
and the knowledge that a marriage of
this kind was fully binding to both
parties.
statistics compiled by many other
states @and several foreign countries
show that, extending over a period of
time, there is a marked decline in our
marriage rates. This factor must be
considered in making proper deduc-
tons from the figures presented. The
industrial depression which has been
upon us for more than year is also
rasnonsihle in a. large measure Stats
tics show that financial depression
seriously retards marriage in the same
way that it produces decline in the
birth rate.
Thoughtful persons who know of
the ravages of certain diseases will
agree that the actual number of mar.
riages occurring in the state in a given
period of time is not nearly as i'm.
portant to our prosperity as the gen.
eral healthfulness OF the contracting
| parties"

Will Cost State Big Sum.

That another extraordinary expendi.
ture, probably more than 500, 900, per-
haps 100000, possibly $25O,OO0 or
more, is near, was revealed when M. J.
Cleary, executive counsel and repre-.
seating Governor Philip, appeared
before the assembly at an informal
hearing on the Helm bill, No. la,
providing for the extinguishment Of
the states bonded debt by retiring the
certificates of Indebtedness.
This extraordinary expense will arise
out of the forestry situation as the
supreme court has left it. How much
is involved in the situation cannot be
known until Judge Hastings, who was
appointed special referee by the court,
has made the prescribed survey and
determined how much the state owes
the trust funds, to be restored as per
the direction of the court.
The Helm billy provides that when
ever there is a surplus in the general
Golfers of the state it, or a portion of
it, may be applied to the retirement of
the certificates of Indebtedness to the
trust funds, the total amount due on
that account being $2,251,0OO. This
Indebtedness, by the way, is existing
since the Civil var in clear disregard
of the CONSTITUTES nal provision that the
state shall never contract debt beyond
100000.
In his message Governor Philip, fol-
lowing the recommendation of State
Treasurer Johnson, recommended that
provision be made for paying the debt
and retiring the trust certificates
which for half a century have called
for an annual interest payment by the
state of $157,570. The Helm bill is
intended to meet the gubernatorial
idea but it specifies no amount which
shall be annually applied. A bill by
Mr.. Harrington provides for the pay
ment of 100000 annually, the amount
to be made a part of the budget and
the governor has suggested that per-
haps this Harrington plan is the better
as it really gets somewhere by making
the amount to be appropriated definite
and certain instead of leaving it to
the judgment or fancy of the con-
stitutional officers, whoever they may
chance to be.
And so, in view Of the possibilities
arising out of the forestry situation
and the fact that the Harrington bill
has not yet been printed, Governor
defer action on the Helm bill until the
whole question can be considered in
all it's bearings.

AWAIT REPORT
TO LEGISLATURE
ACTION ON CONSOLIDATION OF
DEPARTMENTS DELAYED.
COMMITTEE IS IN MEETING
LEGISLATORS Are Considering Their De-
cision as to Matter That Is OF
Much Importance to the
State.

Madison.-The committee that is in
vestigating the consolidation OF the
various departments of government
will not be able to report until about
March Is. The resolution creating the
committee with instructions to do
work asked for a report by March 1.
It was announced that while most of
the testimony has been taken, the
complete plans for consolidation have
not yet been outlined in detail for a
legislative report.
Any bills introduced by various
members for the abolition of depart
ments, or the consolidation of one de-
partment with another, will be held
in allegiance until this report has been
sent to the legislature. Most of the
consolidation bills were presented by
Assemblymen Mortenson, Johnson,
Bradley and Nelson. These ask for
the abolition of the fire marshals Of
fee; the consolidation of the oil in
sp, tors office with the Industrial
commission, and the treasury depart
ment with the dairy and food COM
mission; the abolition of the federal
claim agents office; the consolidation
of the legislative reference library
with the state law library; the aboli-
ton of the revisor of the statutes and
of the state fair board; the consolida-
ton of the fisheries commission and
the state game warden; the abolition
of the boards of normal and univer-
sity regents and the establishment Of
a central board of education; curtail-
ment of the work of the state tax COM
mission, and the abolition of the board
of public affairs.
How these boards will be consoli-
dated will be the subject of the report
of the investigating committee of the
legislature which has had the matter
under discussion for the past four
weeks. Besides the abolition bills,
there are score of other bills 70 the
consolidation of several departments
into one with minimized powers.
The Helm bill to permit baseball
games, exhibitions and other amuse-
ments to be held on Sunday precipi-
tated lively debate before the assem-
bly, committee on state affairs. AS
semblyman Axel Johnson said that
the bill would permit the holding of
boxing matches on Sunday. Rev. j.
B. Dawson of Milwaukee denounced
the measure as one which would ul-
timately lead to more Sunday work,
until Sunday would be work day as
every other day. He declared that if
the human race was to live it must
have some rest.
The announcement that the supreme
court will hear rearguments in the
Postel-Marcus case the latter part of
this week has quieted the discussion
for constitutional convention. 1t
was held by the court in that case
that the electoral franchise amend.
ment to the constitution was not legal
ly adopted because it was not spread
at length on the journals. Lawyers
claim that this ruling would invalidate
over twenty other amendments, so a
reargument of the phase of the case
relating to the adoption of constitu.
tional amendments has been ordered

NEW YORK, Jan 15.-The German sue.
cess in driving the French across the
Aisne east of Scissors is the most Inn
portant victory either side has won in
the western war area since winter began.
It's present significance is negligible, but,
If the Germans can maintain their posi-
ton on the south of the river, they will
have permanent crossing for future
operations toward Paris.
Whether the spring campaign will so de-
velop as to permit new drive on Paris
cannot be known now. But certainly this
possibility exists, and in 1t is the warrant
for Germany's suddenly developed Sois-
sons offensive. The Kaiser, recovered
from his recent illness, seems to have
selected the Aisne front for his con-
valescent visit to the firing line, which in
itself suggests that more than casual i'm
portance is attached by the Germans to
the seizure of crossings over the Aisne.
At no other place have the Germans
secured a lodgment south of the Aisne.
If they hold their newly won positions
they will be able to threaten the rear of
the French communication at Scissors,
and II a serious German effort Is made
to reach Paris once more the difficulty of
