shocks among some of the employees in
the Central Paperboard Company
plant on the island. Two men who
were working under the mill in the
water received shocks which paralyzed
their legs for a few minutes. 1t is
thought that the lightning struck in
the river and current passed through
the water. The heavy downpour made
a running stream of water OH Main
street but the shower was a relief from
the muggy temperature during the
day.

Fairbanks, was in effect practically sus-

coming of the European war. The war
made unexpected demands upon our rae

tai crop is forecast at 2,710. 100000 bushels
which is 100000 bushels smaller than

An unusually short output of white po-

IMPORTANCE OF THE CARE
 OF TEETH TO GOOD HEALTH

A recent investigation made by the United States Public Health Service in connection with studies of rural school children showed that 49.3 per cent had defective teeth, 21.1 per cent had two more missing teeth, and only 16.9 per cent had had dental atten- tion. Over IA per cent never used a tooth brush, 58.2 per cent used one occasionally and only 27.4 per cent used one daily Defective teeth re- duce physical efficiency. Dirty, sup purating, snaggle-toothed mouths are responsible for many cases of heart disease, rheumatism, and other chron- ic affections. The children are not responsible for the neglected state of their teeth. The ignorant and care less parent is to blame for this con- dition--a condition which hampers mental and physical growth and puts a permanent handicap on our future citizens. School teachers can and are doing much in inculcating habits of personal cleanliness on the rural school child but this will fail of the highest accomplishment unless par ents cooperate heartily and continu- ously. This is duty which we owe our children.

Like the Sample

Bill had been invited to dinner at the home of wealthy relatives. Swell- ing with. pride, he took his only son Jackie with him. Jackie took his seat at the table with his father--slightly awestruck at the imposing collection of aunts and uncles. Then his atten- ton became fixed on the ancient re- lative who was carving an enormous turkey, and his mouth watered as he saw the big helpings being handed around But the carver who did not know much about little boys, cut off tiny portion for Jackie.
 "Is that the part of the turkey you like, my little man?" he asked, hand ing him the plate.
 Jack looked at it and handed it back. "Yes, he said, "give me some of it."

GRAND MASTER PERKINS LAYS COURT HOUSE CORNER
 STONE AT PRESCOTT

Will it be one hundred years, or a much greater time before human eye again rests upon the documents and papers which were placed in the corn er-stone of the new court house, last Thursday morning? This query doubtless was in the mind of the hum dreds of spectators, as the solemn de- dication ceremonies were being per- formed by the officers of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Arizona. The papers are in a sealed metallic box, the box is pro- tected by granite and cement foot thick; the building above it will be fire proof. Who will open the niche in the solid rock? Probably that person is yet unborn. When he sees the record of what Prescott was in A. D. 1916, if such records have not turned to dust, will he look upon us as semi barbarians?
 The ceremonies were directed by Grand Master F. w. Perkins. A pray CT was offered by the Grand Chap lain, after which William Stephens, in his capacity as chairman of the Board of Supervisors, welcomed the Masons and bade them proceed with their work. The list of the contents of the box was read, and it was found to contain packets and documents from many citizens, together with copies of current issues of the several pap- CTS of the county. Upon signal from the Grand Master, the workmen all lowed the stone to slowly descend in to place, after which it was christen- ed with corn, wine and oil by Deputy Grand Master Morris Goldwater, Sen for Grand Master A. A. Johns and Junior Master H. T. Southworth.
 The orator of the occasion was Judge Frank o. Smith, who delivered most appropriate address, after which America" was sung by g chorus of school children. The cere. mony was then concluded with prayer by the Grand Chaplain.
 Upon the eastern face of the corner stone are graved the words: "Laid by M. W. Grand Lodge, F. & A. M. of Arizona, October 19, A. D. 1916;" and upon the northern face appears the inscription, Erected by the Board of Supervisors of Yavapai County, Ari- zona. William Stephens, Chairman; Henry J. Suder, Member; Harry w Heap, Member; W. N. Bowman, Ar. chitect.-Prescott Courier.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S REAL WOMAN SUFFRAGE POSITION

The Democratic Party is resorting to false quotation of Presidnt Wilson in it's effort to gain by deception the votes of the women of the twelve suf- frage states, according to Miss Lucy Burns, vice-chairman of the Congress sional Union, the eastern wing of the Woman's Party. Circulars have been printed and distributed from the New York headquarters of the Democratic party which misquote President Will son on the main point of the whole Woman Suffrage issue.
 Miss Burns obtained her infoma- tion from the Woman's Party organ izers in the west where the handbill referred to is being used to gain votes for Wilson among women voters.
 The hand bill contains a quotation from an official White House Bulletin given to the press of the country Oct. 6, 1915, when President Wilson went to New Jersey to vote for state suf- frage. It makes him say that he be- lieves in woman suffrage for the women of the nation What he actu- ally said was for the women of the state Nearly every newspaper in the United States carried his state ment at that time. It ran:
 "I intend to vote for Woman Suf- frage in New Jersey because I believe that the time has come to extend that privilege to the women of the state" !" Democrats have had audacity to print thousands of these circulars in which the word State has been changed to ration, contrasting the Wilson record with Hughes record in 1915 when he was on the Supreme bench and could not give out political statements of any sort.
 This deception goes to show the desperate means to which the Demo- cratic party is resorting to gain sup port from the voting women of the IF suffrage states, where the woman's party has suddenly become political power. Without the 91 electoral votes of these states the democratic party realizes it cannot win. They are em- ploying deliberate misrepresentation to try to make western women be- lieve the administration is friendly to nationwide suffrage.
