FIRED ON OWN MEN
IN RUNAWAY TANK
British Destroyed Devil Car With
Its Crew to Prevent Cap
ture.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE hrst
British tank" that appeared on the
Somme front got out of the control
OF its driver and was destroyed. with
it's crew. by the British artillery. ac-
cordinE to Lieut. Stephane Lausanne.
former editor of the Paris Matin, who
arrived on the French liner La Fay-
cite. The tank was destroyed. NJ.
Lausanne said. to prevent II from
falling into the hands OF the Ger
mans.
The men apparently lost control
of it, he said, and were steering
straight for the German lines. To
prevent the now war engine from
falling into the hands OF the enemy
1t was shelled to pieces by the Brit
e. Runners with their own country
men inside of It,"
Sacrifice for Secrecy.
Mr.. Lausanne said that the French
officers spoke OF the sacrifice made in
order to keep the secret of the in
vention, which had cost so much time
and trouble, from falling into the
hands of the Germans. 1t was a sad
thing to have to do, but there was
no help for It,, as the men could not
be got out OF the machine. and. there :
fore, they had to perish with II. lie
heard dhe cost was about $4,000 for
each of the machines. L, A.
"The sight of the tank coming to-
ward them inspired terror in the
mind OF the Germans, who thought II
India, and they did not know what
to do" he said. when the British
artillery destroyed the machine II
caused more wonder among the en-
envy and their officers. according TO
prisoners captured later, could not
make 1t out, at all and were very
81 heard there are about 100 tanks
now on the Somme front. They are not
much bigger than the armored motor
ed cars. but very much more powerful
in construction. Their caterpillar
wheels are hidden underneath so that
they cannot be shot away. Each tank
carries two machine guns and one
Lewis gun. The crew OF five men In
side cannot be hurt with machine
gun fire, as II will not penetrate the
armor.
Mile an Hour Speed.
1.-THE tanks have a speed of six miles
an hour. They are very useful In
trench fighting. as they can go right
down into the trenches and fire into
the Germans without receiving any
injury In return. For example, IL the
OF mile ahead, and the Remaining
quarter contains trenches which are
stlll held by the Germans, a tank can
go over the field, no matter how rough
! II may be, and wipe out the defenders
so that with the caterpillar wheels
and the claw chain under the center
Of the machine, 1t is easy for 1t to
| climb out again"

Academy Notes

The Senior class will put on a
free concert for the public next

values the splendid training 1t
gives. The entire public is in
vited to come out and learn from
this years graduates what the
S. S. A. means to this commun-
ity.
On April 21st a similar concert
will be given in Taylor.
Thursday night, April 20, a
dance will be given by the Jun
ior class in honor of the Senior

Probably? probably when the
supervisors meet in April they
will take another look at that al
legged bill of sale for Judge Sapp's
law library purporting to be exc
cuted by the Merchants and
Stockgrowers bank, but signed
only by Judge Thomas. But
they will look only at it and do
nothing. Judge Thomas, with
impressive dignity, will explain
that the little oversight in fail
ing to have the president of the
bank sign the document is un-
important and immaterial; and
our learned county attorney will
hand in a weighty opinion that
a president does not have to
sign a bill of sale in disposing of
bank property Notwithstanding
the law says he must; and Judge
Sapp may drop in with his bea-
tifc smile to metamorphose the
supervisors and away goes an
other statute of the state of
Arizona. The board will pass
an order that the law prescrib-
ing how corporate bodies shall
dispose of property is void and
of no effect, and is hereby re-
pealed. Winslow Mail.

Just Received--Another SNIP
ment of Olive Oil from the Syl-
mar Olive Ranch, where 1T is
put up in it's virgin purity. This
oil has become famous for It's
wholesome purity and nutritious
digestibility. Olive oil that is
used either for food or for me-
dicinal purposes should be abso-
lutely pure. If the smallest per
centage of adulteration enters
into it the effect is not good; IN
many cases injury results. Near
ly all other olive oils put on the
market are freely adulterated
with cotton seed oil and similar
oils, which are extremely in
furious to the digestive organs.
Do not attempt to build up the
system by using questionable
oil. You may do more harm
than good. Pure oil is very
beneficial to the system. The
Sylmar Olive Oil is the purest
and best. Sold at the postoffice;
also at the telegraph office.

Faintina Hooks and Eyes.

There are many methods of mechani- cal painting and some of the most ex. traorlinary are described by Arthur Seymour Jennings in his book. Paint ing by Immersion and by Compressed Air" One method. for such articles as hooks and eyes. eyelets and very small iron parts generally which can not be successfully dipped or sprayed. is known as ''tnmbling." The articles are placed in a machine something like churn. together with a number of steel balls. usually of very small diameter and given quantity of japan. The churn is then closed down and given a dozen or so rapid turns during which the steel balls carry the japan to every part of the articles. The contents of the churn are then dumped out on to wire trays. These being agitated. the steel balls fall through the meshes. leaving the paint ed iron parts behind.

Disinfect Your Pets.

Many children and adults acquire skin diseases from the household pets. Such diseases as ringworm and bar ber's itch are transmitted by the cats and dogs. An epidemic may be start cd by germs being carried into the home Every member of the household may develop disease acquired from carelessly betting stray cat or dog on the street. Dogs are fond of filth. They delight in groveling in heaps of manure or refuse of any kind and for this reason should be regarded with suspicion.
 The stray pets should be treated to an antiseptic bath before being, fon- lled. Your own pet dog after run out of doors should have disinfectant bath before it is again permitted to sleep on the lounge or sit upon your Record. >>

RuiIdino q House In Japan.

In Japan if one wishes to build a house he first proceeds to make cer- tain that the site is respectable" If it is not he must have the ground puri- fled. A curious incident of this nature developed not long ago when a native decided to build in Tokyo on the ground formerly occupied by the Ichi- gaya jail. The carpenters would not begin work until the priest had been called in and purified the spot. He brought with him bamboo rods and shimmei and rice and with weird in- cantations turned north, south. east and west. uttering his formula four times and scattering bits of paper and rice at each delivery. The spirits of jail inmates long dead thus propitiat- ed. the carpenters went contentedly to work

EXPENEE OF
 GREAT MRDPEKN WAR

The enormous wastage of wealth merely through war expenses is i'm perfectly understood. Accurate fig ures are not available, and could not include the destruction Of property on land and sea, TOT the loss from diverting the energies of millions of men from constructive to destructive efforts. Germany's monthly war ex- penses are estimatasd at 'ahont $60O,- 100000, and war credits to the amount of s10,0OO-O0O, ,O0O had been voted up to the end of 1915; since when additional hans aggregating about $2, 530, 100000 have been an- nounced. Germany's debt at the end of this year will be about ten times what it was before the war. leaving an annual interest charge of approx imately s5So, 100000. Germany has also helped finance Bulgaria, Turkey, and Austria Hungary; the latter spending about $500, 100000 month fly.
 War is costing Great Britain near ly $25,00O,000 daily, or over $7OO,- 100000 monthly, and credits amount ing to $S,OOO,OOO, ,OOO had been voted up to the end of 1915, since when another 2,O00,000,0 900 have been an- nounced. Great Britain has also aid ed in financing France, Russia, Italy, Belgium, Serbia and montenegro, and the chancellor of the exchepuer re- gently stated that Great Britain will subsidize her allies to the extent of $2.OOO.OOO.00O during the current financial year. France borrowed about s2, 600. 100000 during the first year of the war. Italy is spending nearly 00.0OO,OO0 monthly on war, and Russia has spent a total of about s5,O0O. O.000,O00 up to January 16. Rut these terrific outlays are merely 6 part of the penalties of war. The cost of living has advanced seriously in all of these countries.
 Food has risen over 40 per cent in Great Britain, over 60 per cent. in Germany and probably still more in other belligerent countries. All the belligerents are facing imitation in varying degrees, and they are handi- capped in international trade to the extent of from to 33 per cent, ac- cording to their relative credit, which is eventually reflected in high-priced commodities. Of the untold human misery no measure can be taken in the fearful war bill which Europe must pay for this and many succeed ing generations.

WHY ALASKA IS NOT
 MORE THICkLY SETTLED

When the Alaska homestead bill. recently passed by the House, was in committee, Chairman Ferris on the House Committee on Public Lands, said in support of the measure:
 There are 37O,OO0,000 acres of unentered land in Alaska and only two. .homesteads have ever gone to patent up there. There are 35,O0O people or whereabouts fin the entire territory. (Mr. Ferris was disregard ing the native population). H seems to me that it is the height of folly to remain rigid and binding and hold the country back when there is so much public land there waiting to be taken up by anyone"
 Stafford of Wisconsin, wanted to know why so few homesteads had been taken up.
 Il think I can tell the gentleman" said Ferris. "A few years ago during the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, great flare all over the land that made everyone think, whether rightful'y or wrongfully that they were trying to steal all of the coal mines and copper mines in that country. Tie president perhaps wrongfully, withdrew tue ac- cessible areas of that land from entry for mineral purposes, not knowing where it was or what it was, as the geological survey did not have Toney enough to enable them to tlnd out. The president, by a blanket order,, withdrew it all, and much of it was not open to any sort of entry. and tn epeople stayed away from there. If they did go there they were atused by the government like pickpockets for attempting to open up and settle the country. Under those condition. there could not be any settlement, if they went and tried to develop and with 370,O0O,O00 acres waiting to be developed, with scarcely any of the land entered. think we had bet ter let these sturdy fellows who have gone on the frontier press little west and develop the territory"
