 CLOSED HERE YESTERDAY

Fred Hensing, who has charge of the stock sales of the Oatman Anal gamated Gold Mining Go. of Oatman, has closed deal here this week with Orville J. Fuller of Boston. MT. Full Ter has been in Oatman for some time, looking over the ground thor oughly for Eastern clients, and out of the numerous company's operating there, MT. Fuller has selected the Amalgamated on account of the men back of it, the large holding of the company and the excellent report on the property by Etiene A. Ritter. The deal involves the sale of 100000 shares of stock and as soon as all arrangements are completed, two shifts will be put to work, and devel- opment carried on as fast as men and money can do it. All eyes are turned on the Amalamated at Oatman and it is freely predicted that this prop erty will be the next to claim the at- tention of the investing public.

Some fellow back east has funny idea. He has a plan to make ships faster than Germany can sink them with submarines. If this brilliant one had stopped to think moment he might have had another idea that of destroying submarines faster than Germany could make them, thus save the valuable cargoes. His idea re- minds us of how a quick witted doctor saved himself from an insane patient The patient caught the doctor on a small landing two flights up and was going to throw him over the railing to the floor below. The doctor said as he was struggling: that's easy throwing me down there but I'll bet you can't go down and throw me up.' The new idea caught the nut" and saved the doctor.

FOR OR AGAINST THE FLAG

Now is the time for all Ameri- cans to stand by the colors. The old flag has been insulted to the limit, that fatal limit which prescribes the
 waters over which it may float in the pursuit of commerce. It is not that we must take sides for or against any movement in the European war, but that we must give all Europe to un- derstand that the seas must be left open for American business. Those in this country who insist that one side or the other over there is right or wrong, and justified in prescribing limits for their avowed enemies to roam around in, should at least re- member that the last German ultima tum is not changing things from war conditions, so far as their enemies are concerned. There is only one Ameri- can issue, and that is to convince the German Government that it has gone too far in laying down designated limits in which Americans may move without drawing the fire of German guns. If any American thinks this country should submit to that then he is on the wrong side of the Atlantic, and should move into foreign territo-

TRIrST PRESIDENT. BUT

Trust the president! Thus cry the administration cuckoos in Congress and elsewhere. Does he merit it? This is the obvious response of every man who now knows that MT. Wilson, for three weeks, with full knowledge that plots were matching to confront us with an enemy across the Atlantic, with another across the Pacific, and with third across the Rio Grande-- yet did nothing to inform Congress of the danger and had no better remedy to suggest than that he be given sole and unlimited authority to deal with the tripple menace as he saw fit.

TITLE PLUMB WRONG

"How l Put It Over,' is the title of a lecture said to be in course of pre- paration by Col. Bill Hattich, now of Los Angeles, but a product of Tomb stone. The lecture, it is said, will deal with his journalistic career at Tombstone, as the owner of the Pros pector and the Epitaph, in which he amassed fortune and retired with it before he got too old to make use of it. He might find collaborators in the lecture up to a certain point, for in stance Col. Anson H. Smith of the Mohave Miner, Col. Fred S. Breen of the Coconino Sun, Major Kelly of the Douglas Independent, Col. Logic of the Dispatch, and Col. Allen T. Bird of the Nogales Oasis. They could throw light on the acquisition of for tune, but as they are still in the har- ness, subject to the risks which al- ways beset the newspaper business, they could not, of course, contribute anything to the second part of Col. Hattich's lecture under the substitute, "How Got Away With It."
 The reputation of no man is secure until he is in the grave and all the returns are in. Likewise the fortune of the newspaper man is not secure until he has retired. AS long as the most seasoned and reputed successful gambler sits in the game he is suc- cessful only up to date. The next deal may be the beginning of his over throw. ,s
 The man in the ruck is of limited observation. But Col. Hattich with folded arms sits alone on a lofty eminence.-Phoenix Republican.
 Wrong title entirely. Should be: "How Did You Get the Money to Start the Trouble and Newspaper"

The twelve self appointed high apostles of the United States senate who filibustered the bill for arming merchant ships against attacks from German submarine boats, have dis gusted about nine-tenths of the people of the United States with their trait orous tactics. They are justly being made to squirm under the scathing denunciations hurled at them from all quarters of the country. There is no room in this country, in or out of of flee for Benedict Arnolds.

It would appear that President Will son is some cute little politician too While smearing the twelve windjam- ming senators all over the map and getting them burned in etfigy, on the basis of his not having power to arm merchant ships, he had that power neatly tucked up his sleeve all the time. The real beneficial result caused by the senators hearing from their constituents in such a forceful manner, was the abolition of the old rule made in the third century, which permitted a durned fool to talk as long as his wind held out. The cloture rule adopted has punctured these wind bags.

Many a man has fallen down because
a test of his water showed unmistak
ably that he had kidney disease.
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separating
the poisons from the blood. Their sig

and include such symptoms as back

THE very best way to restore the
kidneys TO their normal state of health
and cure such symptoms" says DIR

better than others.

one and one-third cups Of flour. two
thirds cup mashed or riced potatoes,
four teaspoonfuls of baking powder
one teaspoonful Of salt, two tablespoon
