two days of the convention, and that

ed.
The parade of Friday afternoon was
al event long to be remembered. Each
detail as planned was enacted in this

ulating herself, and is being made IL

Rules Laid Down,

Rules Laid Down.
To obtain whiskey shipped into the
state after the first of May, all per-
sons to whom it is addressed will
have to identify themselves and pre-
sert an affidavit showing they have not
previously received a shipment larger
than allowed by law, according to a
ruling by Attorney General Cliff
Walker.
Persons who have had visions OF
using their friends names after thew
had secured their own allowance were
dealt a sad blow by the ruling. II
ether words, if John Smith decides
that he wants three quarts instead of
two and gives another name for the
extra quart he will have to prove his
real name.
For attesting an affidavit an ex-
press company can not make an extra
charge, there being no compensation
allowed by law, other than the
charges allowed for the expressing
OF the package.
The following is a copy of letter
sent out by Attorney General Walker
which fully explains the affidavit, rul-
irg:
Replying to your favor of the 28th
instant in which you ask if an ex-
press agent attesting an affidavit under
authority of the act of 1915 known as
the prohibition law is authorized to
make a charge for attesting such af
: fidavits, l beg to say in my judg-
ment the affidavit is required before
tie express company can legally de-
liver the shipment and is provided ss
Q. protection to the express company.
/ am Of the opinion, therefore. that
agents of the express company would
not be justified under the law in de-
manding other compensation than the
charges which include compensation
TO" carrying and delivering"
Relation of Banks.
An inspection of the new prohibi-
tion laws reveals number of inter
esting things. For one, in connection
with banking institutions, prohibition
forces them to feel the effect of the
law It is stated in the law that banks
are forbidden to present, collect. or
in any way handle any draft, bill Of
exchange, or order to pay money. to
which draft, bill Of exchange, or
order to pay money is attached a bill
CT lading or order or receipt for any
spirituous, vinous, matted, fermented
or other intoxicating liquors of any
Kind, or any liquors, liquids, or beH-
erages prohibited by the laws of this
state to be sold or manufactured, or
otherwise disposed of in this state for

DEER ARE SICkLY.

According to report brought to Clifton large number of deer in the Blue and Eagle coun- try have died recently from a disease called "biack tongue. Game warden Harry Hinck and Forest Ranger Adams report that between them they have found over 30 dead deer at diff ferent points along the trails in the upper country. They state that the deer afflicted with the disease are in such a condition that they are easily approached and show no sign of fear or re- sistence. Physicians declare that persons eating the meat of deer thus afflicted will probable do so with fatal results, and it is up to the hunters and others deSir- ing to partake of the juicy game to be particularly, careful to as- certain whether or not. the an imal is suffering from the black tongue" It is said that the di- sease is accompanied by the hair falling from the animals bodies, and if in doubt, when meeting a nude deer, pass it up.

GOOD SERVICE RENDERED.

Woodrow Wilson stands for free government, for honest gov ernmeDt, for visible government flor common rights of men and women, of business groups and organizations, of municipalities and States, of the United States and of the other nations of the world whether they be weak or powerful. He has been free of the influence of special interests whether brought to bear by money power within the United States or by the greatest mll- itary Power on earth. Proof lies in. the long, explicit and wonderful record of his perform ance in the Presidency. For that reason he was able to say in his speech accepting the De- mocratic nomination for Presi- dent:
 1 do not doubt that the peo- pie of the United States will wish the Democrats to continue in control of the Government. They are not in the habit of re- jecting those who have actually served them for those who are making doubtful and conjecturaI promises of service. Least of all are they likely to substitute those who promised to render them particular services and proved false to that promise for those who have actually render ed those very services. ."-Guard- ian

More Prosperity in Mining.

There have been orders placed for about 45O, 100000 pounds of copper for delivery over tbe first half of the coming year with leading sales agencies in the United States during the last several days, says Iron Ore. This is record business in practically one order for the world, and the United States has received it.
 This copper is largely for the allies in the European war and suggests that the great struggle for supremacy across the waters is nowhere near an end.
 This great order will be fol- lowed by others. Domestic con sumers are becoming anxious again concerning their wants and will be in the market for big tonnages. The price receiv- ed for this great tonnage recent ly sold was around 27 cents per pound, figure at which all the legitimate mines can make very large earnings.
 All of the big companies will surely substantially increase present dividend rates, as they will be able to maintain a higher level for some time to come. Cop per is making good for the lean years and this boom will help the average amazingly. And copper, on the. average, has been about as good as any form of invest ment. The stable mines, of which there are many, are safe and certain of returning a fair interest to their shareholders.
 Like steel, copper is enjoying great prosperity at this time and the future looks good.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.

The women voters should con- sider that complete under standing of all the proposed amendments to the state con stitution is of vital. importance to every individual who can vote.
 To vote blindly may mean dis tress to many human beings and it's disgraceful for women of the present day to abuse the suffrage privilege.

ARIZONA IS "SOME STATE"

Arizona baS an area of 113, 900 square miles in which there is a water surface of only 116 square miles All New England and New York com bined, have an area of 114,O78 square miles, from which deduct 5,93O square miles of water surface, leaving 1OS, 48 square miles of land area Now add to com bined land area of New. England and New York, 2,37O square miles, representing Delaware, water and all, and Arizona is larger by more than 5000 square miles than the com bined eight states indicated.
 Of the eight states Delaware alone has nearly as much popula tion as Arizona. Though much of Arizona is composed of rocks and desert. there are hundreds of thousands of acres of richest land on earth, other hundreds of thousands of the best forests and grazing lands on earth, and yet other hundreds of thousands of acres that are ribbed with the ore veins of nearly all the pre- ciOuS and baser metals. We venture the assertion therefore, that the average potential value of every acre in Arizona will equal the. average value of the acreage in the eastern states named, though it may not be so evenly distributed
 The topography of Arizona is unique and varied. Attitudes range from just a little above sea level at Yuma to the peaks of the San Francisco mountains, nearly 13, ,OOO feet high. Over large part of the state the snow never falls, while over some of it the SHOW lies half the time. The state is something over 300 miles wide and nearly 400 miles north and south, so what within it's boundaries is found almost every climate and soil condition between Bangor, Maine, and southern Texas.
 With this wealth and variety of resources, and climate, and a population of less than three persons to the square mile, in cluding Indians and candidates for office, the reader can get some conception of the opportun- itieS that Arizona has to offer for homemaking and investment.
 To carry the comparison lit tie further, Arizona has fourteen counties, their areas being re- SDectiVelV as follows:
