reasonable but to those who have
not been jostled about print shop

mistake will seem objectionable.
We regret the error and hasten to
assure our readers that the over

barassment as the law allows.

In Austria Hungary the last re-

are pitiable, young girls are forced
BY the military to go with the
soldiers earring their luggage be-
cause the soldiers have no meat to
give them strength. All the cattle
being killed off small babies have
died by the thousands for lack OF
milk.
People everywhere are commit
ing suicide and all are turning
against the churches beliving that
no God would permit such condi-
tions. In Germany soldier on
one of the trains Mrs. S. came on
talked with her and he said he had
not seen or tasted meat for two
months.
There is calm quite sternes by
the strain. The cities are quite,
nothing being seen except crippled
Of all sorts. A piece of meat the
size of boiling piece is ten
dollars. This is a true account of
the present conditions and we
give them as only told to US.
We personally saw the passport
Of Mrs. Sedlak which is book

The Escape
at the Bentley Grand Tuesday October
Gath Matinee and Evening

May Joyce. a child of the slums,
longed for a better life. She con-
tinualy besought her father, a
stevedore, to try to better the con-
dition Of his children. With the
exception Of May these children
were in bad way. Jennie was
pitiful example Of the visitation of
the sins of the father upon the
children. Larry was fast becom-
ing a crook. He was hit by a
stove lid thrown by the father in
drunken fury. The wound healed
but the boys natural tendency was
intensified. Bull McGee,
power for evil in the neighbor-
hood, wanted to marry May. To
gain her favor he had Larry set up
on and. after fight, arrested,
McGee obtaining his release from
the police. Here appears DR.. Won
Eden, an ambulance surgeon,
called in to patch up Larry. Dr.
Won Eden was impressed with the
character Of May. At all costs, =
he told her, escape from these
surroundings. Partially as a re-
suit of the faxed saving of Larry
and because there seemed no escape,
May passively agreed to the marri
age with McGee. On the morning
of the wedding, however, a fly leaf
message from Won Eden proved the
deciding factor and she left by the
| fire escape. Jenny's admiration
for brute power caused her
willingly to take Mays place.
May found work in an office from
which she was later discharged.
In the meantime, she had met the
Senator who in admiration Of her
beauty, gave her his card reading
If you ever need friend come
to me.
.Jenny's marriage resulted in a
baby which always cried to the
constant anger of McGee. McGee
falling over the cradle in drunk
en- stupor, the child cried no more.
May, unablde to obtain work,
finally went to the Senator and
found the easy way Affancied
illness led her to meeting Won Eden
again. You need me more than
ever to escape he told her. The
Senator condescended to offer May
marriage, but she, influenced by
the words Of Won Eiden, again
escaped and found the work she
needed in hospital.
McGee sold his wife to the pro-
moters Of a foreign concert dive
She threw note from the window
and it came into the hands of
Larry. The police raided the place
ad rescued Jenny, who was brought
20 May only to die. McGee escap-
ed. He traced his wife in hopes
of getting money and found her
dead. Leaving there, he was track
ed by the authorities and finally
cornered and shot by Larry, who
had joined the chase. His murder
Gus tendencies now fully aroused.
Larry determined to kill his faith
er. He was, however intercepted
by DR.. Won Eiden. who took him to
his apartment. An operation was
performed on Larry an the splinter
Of bone. which had SO long
penetrated his brain. was removed.
Through the operation Larry
became a normal man. Mays love
for Won Eden at last awakened an
the surviving members Of the
Joyce family became happily unit
ed. Mays escape to better life
was completed.

MORRISON BELIEVES GREAT COPPER MINES CAN BE
 DEVELOPED

Hon. R. F.. Morrison, who in com pany with his brother Attorney Jos. E. Morrison and Robert Mitchell, the mining man, returned Saturday from a few days trip to the White Mesa mines, now being taken over by the Navajo Copper Co.,, is very much inn pressed with the great showing of copper on the claims.
 "There is no question but it is a wonderful property, a low grade with a vast quantity; doubt if there is a larger body of copper in the country. The main question the company has to deal with is that of transportation, and this has been gone into thorough ly and we believe that the new eater piller" machine will do the work until such time as a railroad can be built out to the mines. It is not by any means a small undertaking, but will take a great amount of capital to de- velop it as has been done in the low grade properties of southern Arizona The metal is there and we feel cer- tain that it will be developed and be- come one of the greatest copper pro ducers of the state. That is my opin- ion after going over the property, ano as you know, l have some knowledge of the mining business.
 Mir. Mitchell, who has taken up tho proposition for himself and other in, terested parties, is mining man oi many years experience, both with tht United Verde at Jerome, where h' worked for years and in old Meixco His opinion is that the great body ot ore in that country, is most valuable one and will prove to be equal to th' big low grade ore bodies in the south ern copper fields, and that it may ever grow richer as shafts are sunk dowi into it. At present vast area of low grade ore shows on the surface. Drill have been sent out and put to work t get some idea of the depth and qualit. of the ore.
 The low price of copper and tn distance from a railroad has kep people from developing the claims but the recent great increase in de mand for yellow metal and an equa demand for properties that would pro duce untold quantities of it, ha brought these neglected claims on tn Navajo Indian reservation into pro minence.
 It is believed now that there every chance of a company stron enough will take them over and com mence development work immediate ly.
