DORMANT SPRAYING is BEST
Overlooked in Fall and Winter
Keep Bugs Away.

Spraying is an important cOnsidera-
ton in the dormant months. Look
well to it that you are not neglecting
your fruit and shade trees, and that
spring and summer do not come to
find trees and shrubbery half destroyed
by scale and other pests.
Let your "ounce of prevention" be
dissolved into Il good liquid and spray
trees and bushes around your lawn
and garden. At the same time do not
forget that your neighbours careless
ness in such matters may negate ev-
erything you have done. for no fence
ever kept off insects, scale or blight.
1t will pay you tn talk over the matter
with Mr.. Neighbor. for there is little
doubt of his cooperation in your eff
forts to preserve the fruits and the
natural adornment Of your yards,
lawns and gardens.

May Make Soap From Lemons.

The humble lemon-pip, of which
great quantities are every year accu-
mulated by Australian lemOn-sQuash
manufacturers, appears likely to earn

value. The federal analyst has re-
Gently furnished a report to the effect
that the dried pips contain a large pro-
portion of oil.
By ether eXtractiOns the yield of oil
was % per cent, and by extraction
with petroleum benzine p per cent.
The oil obtained from the pips is clear,
of pale-straW color, wholly saponifi-
able, and has slight but rather persis-
tent bitter taste.
Possibly the oil expressed from the
pips by direct hot pressing would not
possess a bitter taste; if so, it, would
be of value for edible purposes, and.
being wholly saponifable, could, as an
alternative, be used for soap-making.

had waved his Silver Shawl over the
Flower and it dropped it's Head-for it
had been Frost Bitten!
FLOWERS are so selfish" said Jack
Frost. Here they have a long Sum-
mer and Sunshine and warmth and a
good time. People give them drinks of
Water from Watering Pots when it
hasn't Rained in long time, and when
weeds grow up around them, some one
comes and digs the weeds up. They're
spoiled, that's what's the trouble"
And the Frost Boys said, That's
what's the trouble"
AS they said this their voices sound
ed so Cold that great many Flowers
dropped over with fear. 'Oh those
Cold, Cold voices" they said as they
began to droop and drop their heads.
Then Jack Frost and the Frost Boys
waved their Silver Shawls over all the
Flowers-except just a few they passed
over which wouldn't drop so quickly.
wen do those another time" said
Jack Frost. There's too much work
to be done Tonight So a few Flowers
in the Garden were left untouched.
And then they went to the Window
Panes, and there they made queer
shapes and queer objects. They made
Castles, and Webs and dancing Figures
all out of Silver-and with their Sill
yer Tools.
All Night long they worked, and oh
how much they did They covered
everything with their Silver Frost, and
when it was all over Jack Frost and
the Frost Boys stood around and adj
mired their own work.
WED better be doing something
every Evening now" said Jack Frost.
Yes" said the Frost Boys. Lets
start out every night now for a new
place"
We've fixed up the Gardens just
around here pretty well-all except for
a few Flowers we've left. Wen come
back and do them when we have more
time. It's very surprising thing to
me" added Jack Frost, as he-took off
his Silver Hat, and looked about him,
that People do not appreciate our
work more-it's so very, very beauti-
full"
Indeed ii is" agreed the Frost Boys.
The next morning when everyone
woke up and looked out, the Window
Panes were covered with Frost. and
the Flowers had all been Frost-Bitten.
"Oh dear" everyone sighed, that
Old Jack Frost has been around"
Bus when they saw the few Flowers
left in every Garden they were very
happy. Summer hasn't quite gone"
they said.
NO" said the Flowers, we're still
here"
and you'll stay there for some time
yet" said Mr.. Sun, and Mr.. South
Wind said, We'll look after you"
And they did, for they asked the
Fairy Queen to put old Jack Frost
asleep again for good, long nap.

Jack Frost laughed again.
Then he called his little Helpers TO

Jack Frost. Il feel just like drawing

Then Jack Frost and the Frost Boys

which you can tell the month and year
Of a persons birth, will startle many
of your friends. Tell your friend to
put down the number Of the month
IN which he was born, multiply it by
,, then add ., multiply by 30, add his
age, subtract 800 and then add rs.
The two figures on the right will tell
you his age, the remainder will be the
number of the month of his birth. For
example, if the total is 615, he is fif-
teen years old and was born in June.

 N. E. Guyot, secretary and man ager of the Wrigley Exploration com pany, has returned from his long so- journ in the east, bringing with him a bride. In fact, she accompanied him on his way toward the rising sun, for they were married without first get ting the permission of Oatman friends of the groom after he reached San Francisco on his way east, over two months ago. Mrs. Guyot resided in that city.
 They stayed in Oatman only few hours after their arrival yesterday. C.. H. James, mining engineer and asso- ciate of Mir. Guyot in the Wrigley management, accompanied them to Kingman. Numerous friends are keen to congratulate MT. Guyot upon his marriage.

BOOTLEGGERS' UNION
 MEMBER IN HARD LUCK

A member of the Bootleggers' union, in good standing, had a piece of bad luck Saturday night, and the sympathy of all good citizens of oat- man goes out to him. Coming down Main street at a terrific gait in his little "Lizzie", which was loaded above the gunwales with case goods, he at tempted to round the corner by the Oatman drug store, when the top heavy car tried to turn turtle. Instead of going over, it merely tilted up on two wheels and spilled case of pints over onto the ground, smashing the case into smithereens.
 Instead of trying to help him, the bunch that was there ran out and gathered up the bottles of the stuff that made Milwaukee famous and made away with them, right before the owners eyes. One ingrate was not satisfied with three or four bottles, but did not stop until he had gathered up eight of them, and hiked, leaving the rightful proprietor to pocket his loss in silence.
 It is hoped by the better element of Oatman that the Bootleggers' union will not let this incident pass without taking appropriate action against this culpable form of piracy. The unilon is doing enough for the welfare of Oat- man now, striving at all times to keep it's honor unsullied by cut prices, and the people are to be depended upon to stand by it.

 Twenty stockholders of the Tellu- ride Chief Mining company from Los Angeles and other southern California points made visit of inspection Sun day to the company property in the Wallapai mountains, near the Frost ranch, 15 miles east of Kingman. The party, travelling in a special Pullman, arrived here early in the morning and were met upon arrival by General Manager George Hannon and Consult ing Engineer Roy Cornell with three big automobiles. Returning to King man from. the property, the visitors departed on their journey to the coast, their car being attached to the 4:21 train.
 While at the property the visitors made a close study of the Big Swede and Garnier veins, which are respond ing in splendid fashion to exploratory work, and inspected all the workings. Prior to their departure from King man the visitors expressed themselves as being highly pleased with their ob- servations at the property and were loud in their praise of the manage ment for the splendid progress in de velopment work accomplished since 1t was inaugurated several months ago.

 The shaft is close to the west bOun- dary line of the Tom Reed, where a strip of its best ground passes out by the Big Jim to the Black Eagle area, where its newest big ore shoot is being developed. Mir. Meikle is working close to the converging point of three lodges that come from the north, west and southwest.

 The company is now operating with full force, extracting ore and driving for the vein on the 1400 foot level. It is expected that the vein will be open ed on that level within the next week, and that the big ore body found at the 900 foot level will again be cut. This ore body is said to have been the richest of any found in the prop erty. In the sinking of winze the ore widened to such an extent that it was believed the parent vein of the great property would be opened on the new level.
