HOW BERLIN SAVES.

Berlin's establishment for drying vegetables, which went into operation in July, IS already dry ing some forty tons of vegetables daily, and an enlargement of the plant now building will almost double its capacity. It IS operated in connection with one of the great gas plants of the city where it obtains an abundance of cheap fuel, using alto gether the waste from the gas retortS and coal cars
 The drying house serves as a safety valve for the Berlin market. It often happens here, as at all other great centers of population, that more vegetables come upon the wholesale market at cer- tain times than the retail trade can absorb When ever this appears to be the case the superAuous cars loaded with vegetables are switched of and carried to the drying establishment. It is chiefly for this that the latter will, as IS be- lieved, be kept up permanently-as regulator of the vegetable trade even after the war.
 The vegetables dried are chiefly cabbages, but also spinach, carrots, turnips kae, potatoes and some others are included. Special machinery does much of the work. The washing, for example, is done in shallow tanks, through the bottom of which air is forced in many jets and under great pressure; this causes violent boiling movement which thoroughly cleanses the vegetables within a few seconds. Before the cabbages are thrown ,nto the slicing machines girl holds each head lnder another machine that neatly bores out the stem. The sliced cabbage is then parboiled for about one minute, and then goes to the drying ,lilnsy These are large iron furnaces about eight feet high; they hold about ten frames of vegeta- 3leS at once

GAME REFUGES FOR ARIZONA.

The theory that wild deer will quickly rec ognze and take advantage of areas protected against hunting IS confirmed by a report just re- ceived from Chas. H. Jennings, Forest Supervisor at Alamogordo, New Mexico According to the report NJ. L. Gadwallader, less than year ago, posted and started to patrol large pasture n the Sacramento Mountains against hunting. he deer at once hocked to the pasture, and according to the local ranger, it now contains more deer than all the rest of his District.
 The instance is said to be valuable in that 1t confirms the theory of the Game Refuge now be- fore Congress, which authorizes the establishment of a system of protected areas throughout the Ma tional Forests of the entire West. The theory Of the plan IS that game will find refuge in the pro- tected areas, where it will increase and overflow into the surrounding country, thereby improving $ the hunting outside. The refuge will also afford means for preventing the extcnnnation of rare species like mountain sheep and antelope and it IS claimed will relieve the present shortage of buck deer.

at the last sesSon of Congress, in spite of wide spread popular support. It is said that every Game Protective Association and almost every Chamber of Commerce and Stockmen's ASsocia- ton in New Mexico heartily endorse it. Sports men and forest officers are hoping it will be en- acted into law by the present Congress that the work of establishing system of Game Refuges can go forward.
 Here in Arizona, the good that could be ac- complished by the establishment of game refuges would be abundant. In the interests of sport and therefore game preservation, why not cooperate with New Mexico in furthering the project of more game refuges?

HALL TOMBSTONE!

Abortive attempts to separate the CochlSe county courthouse from tombstone have never met with more effective reproof than that ad- ministered by w. A. McSparron, modestly de scrbed as business man in the city of sepulchral cognomen Business man forsoothl Rather a poet of rare parts; modern Homer in whose soul sumbered the divine aflatus awaiting only the spark of civic jeapordy to cause his beloved Tombstone to be girded as it were by flaming sword of rhetorical admonition and defiance.
 Curse those conventions which limit newspaper narratons to a literal treatment of any and all subjects Yet even this cannot descerate the beauty nor dull the lustre of McSparron's Had. Briefly, the facts are these:
 One of Douglas citizens, venturesome Agamemnon made bold to suggest in the pres ence of McSparron that movement was aborning to transplant the courthouse in the Shelter City. Did McSparron reach for his hip pocket? Nay reader, thrice nay. Prithee, then what did Nc Sparron do? McSparron's face beamed with the radiance of glorifcation and these words he did speak:
 My esteemed friend from the border city of Douglas, may 1 commend you for your able marks You have stated that on and perhaps before the death of this old year will witness a movement for the removal of one of these most treasured landmarks of Cochise county; one of the manstays of Tombstone, the COURT HOUSE, and in reply might state: My friend, when the cacti cease to grow in the desert; when the pine will require water; when the leaves Of the sagebrush curl from the heat; when the opaque and golden hues are no more to be seen on the summits of the Mustangs when the ulta marine and Van Dykes hues which blend from the bottom to the crest of the Dragons, cease to cast to the discerning eye their beautiful coors when the golden ball which we call the sun, ceases to set in the west; when all the birds, the beasts and flowers have gone to eternal rest, THEN, my friend, shall Douglas get the courthouse
 Any secret ambitions which BiSbee may have harbored on the subject of courthouse acquisition are hereby abandoned. Never long as Me Sparron stands at the portal of Tombstone ready to overwhelm us with his verbal reproaches will we venture on so foolhardy quest.
 Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Douglas citizen whose indiscretion brought down upon the head such epic punishment. Extreme was the offense, his penalty was obteratng In the pres ence. of such spirit as possesses McSparron of Tombstone, we humble ourselves
 All hail. Tombstone! Greetings, McSparron !

CANCER NOT HEREDlTARY.

Two years study of original insurance statistics indicate cancer is neither hereditary nor con- taglous, according to a paper presented to the Association of Life Insurance Presidents by Pres ident Arthur Hunter of the Actuarial Society of America
 After referring to the annual toll of eighty thousand deaths from cancer in the United States, Mr. Hunter said:
 No sooner do we become interested in the wide prevalence of disease like cancer than we begin ot wonder whether it is contagious or heredi tary Such questions must be in the minds of hun dreds of thousands of relatives of persons who have died from the disease and of others who are suffering from it.
 There seems little to support the view that cancer IS the result of contagion. Twenty thou sand applications for insurance were reviewed and 1t was found that in 4SS cases one only of the parents of the applicant was stated to have died from cancer and in four cases both parents were stated to have died of that disease There were I22 times as many cases in which one parent died of cancer as of those in which both parents had died of that disease There could hardly be a stronger test than the case of husband and wife
 As to heredity, Mir. Hunter said: My first investigation consisted of cases of persons insured in six companies, both parents having died of cancer prior to date of application for insurance Of 472 grandparents of the insured, the cause of death was given in 234 cases of which two were from cancer; the cause of death was stated in T. S4 of these as old age, the average age at death of which was S2. In 72 of the grandparents the cause of death was not known but the age was given, the average being o2; in I5S cases neither the age nor the cause of death was known. It is reasonable to conclude that if only two died of cancer out of 234 parents of persons who died of cancer, that disease IS not hereditary.
 The possibility of heredity in cancer has gen orally been studied by experiments on animals. In the case of human beings there has been no pre- vious attempt so far as l am aware, to inveSti- gate the problem in families where there has evi- denty been a cancer strain, If such thing exists. In the present investigation, of the groups con sisted of cases in which both of the parents had died from cancer; and in another of the groups. q parent, and brother or sister of the policvhold- CT had died from that disease It might bu ex- pected, therefore that if cancer were hereditary, 1t would be shown very clearly in the family rec ords ol these persons but this has not appeared.
 Men and women who are in anxiety of mind on account of the appearance of cancer in their ancestry or immediate family, may dismiss such anxietieS as there IS no statistical evidence a the present time that the disease of cancer IS trans nitted by inheritance Il mankind

MARION'S PR|MA
donna CAPTURED
Miss Anna Haynes, One Of Our Pop
ular Home Girls, Weds Musi-
cal Director Of Danville, III.

The social circle of Marion had
quite a surprise last week, when
Mr.. and Mrs. r. F. Haynes re-
ceived from their daughter Miss
Anna, the announcement of her
marriage TO Mr.. Louis A. Pike,
Of Danville, llls., in that city, on
March Goth 1916. Miss Haynes
was filling an engagement in
Danville, with Doree's Beaux
and Bellies, a concert company
with which she had been travel
ing only a few months. This be.
ing the home Of Mr.. Pike, the
young people concluded to steal
a march on their friends.
Miss Haynes comes from one
of the Oldest and most prominent
families Of Crittenden county.
Her great-grandfather, Robert
Haynes, was one of Crittenden's
pioneers from North Carolina,
and his descendants are numer-
Gus throughout the county today,
and have been and are today
prominent in the affairs of church
and state throughout the history
Of the county. Her father. K.
F. Haynes, has been prominent
druggist here in Marion for more
than 20 years, where he and his
good wife have and enjov a host
of friends.
Miss Anna has spent most Of
her life in Marion. where her
amiable disposition has won for
her many friends who have
watched her musical career with
great interest. In childhood her
voice was one Of promise, and in
the fall Of 1910 she went to De
Land, Florida and entered the
Stetson University. taking up n
course in vocal culture, and pur-
sued her studies there until the
spring of 1913, when she gradu-
ated in her course. During this
time she developed a most won
derful voice. In 1914 she spent
some months in Nashville. study
ing under the best instructors in
vocal music. In the spring of
1910, she went TO Chicago, Ill.,.
to further pursue her studies.
Here. she attracted the attention
of the Musical Director of Red.

by them for their Summer Chat.

season she returned to Chicago
and resumed her work in voice.
In the early winter she made an
