Deer Season Monday

The open season for deer be- gins Monday, October 1. This being a work day the exodus to the country will no doubt be a little less general than would have been the case had the opening fallen one day earlier-on Sunday-but many huntsmen are planning to get theirs the first day of the sea- son, work or no work. The sea- son this year will last but one month, and each person will be allowed but one buck. This is apt to make the huntings a great deal keener while it lasts, and should keep the number of deer killed from exceeding the yearly increases.

 You can feel safe in giving Cardui a thorough trial for your troubles.

uties, they will have to go some.
 The other day couple of pensive bootleggers entered the confines of Pinal county in an automibile. A banner running across the top of the machine read: American Bible Socie- ty." The breath of the occu- pants, however, indicated that they had been a little careless in needing the divine admoni- tion, Look not upon the wine when it is red," and the sher- ifs suspicious were aroused. Underneath the running board, the usual hiding place, nothing was found. The tool boxes and the under-seat cavities were equally as barren.
 The sheriff scratched his head.
 He had an irrepressible hunch that there was booze some where in connection with the vehicle, and he insisted that the occupants tarry few mo- ments.
 Walking to the rear of the car, the sheriff noticed two well-inflated extra tires. Moth ing unusual about that. But it was little unusual to find rid ing the running boards two ad- ditional extra tires on either side. Six extra tires of the size represent a small fortune; and the sheriff didn't think there was sufficient money in the Bi- ble business to warrant the heavy expenditure. He walked to the rear, unscrewed the air cap and took gentle whiff.
 Green river!' murmured the sheriff.
 Every extra tire carried the same boquet. Each tire, when put through the milking pro- cess, gave up exactly three gal Ions of real red whiskey.
 The parties driving the car are now safe in the county jail, and the liquor has been absorb ed by the thirsty sands of the desert.

Killing Frost Comes Late

A killing frost has visited many parts of the country a. bout Williams during the past few nights. Compared with last year and the year before, this frost has allowed a two weeks longer growing season than was enjoyed in either of those two years. This has meant a good deal to the farmers, as it has allowed corn and beans to mature while frost two weeks earlier would have cut the crop short.

Scales couldn't weigh him

SSnACo SoAAAh "SASA AAA
 With his patriotic spirit dampened, disheartened and dejected, Chas. Fisher, Miami's champ heavyweight, returned from Globe Friday afternoon on his special one-ton delivery truck, in which he had been de- livered to the examining board.
 Chas. Ficsher, while he was big enough to have been over 31 years of age, was subject to the draft call. And like the patriotic citizen he is, respond ed bravely. But the examining physicians just couldn't see him. That is they couldn't see him for military service.
 However, MT. Fishers ap- pearance before the examining board clearly demonstrated the inadequate facilities which are being used in the examinations. This fact was brought to light when the scales upon which all prospective rockies are weigh ed couldn't accommodate the weigh amounts up to 300 lbs. while Charles ringside weight is 345.
 When Gila's drafted man in sisted that the doctors bring in a hay scale that he might be ac- commodated they refused. After pointing out the danger of his being mistaken for Brit ish tank on the French front, thereby being the mark for considerable cannonading on the part of the Kaiser's gang, they finally dissuaded MT. Fish CT from attempting to take the matter of his enlistment up per sonally with President Wilson.

FERVOR OVER ACTION
President Wilson Declares That He
VIII Not Fail to Ask Congress For
Declaration of War Should Germany
Violate American Rights.

WASHINGTON-P President Wilson
in behalf of the United States has
met the challenge of Germany and
handed passports to Count Won Bern
storff, the German Ambassador, re-
called the American representatives
in the German Empire, pdacel her
forts and navy yards in condition for
war and called on all neutral govern
ments to stand behind the United
States in enforcing neutral rights.
The president appeared before a joint
session of both houses of congress
at 2 o'clock Saturday p. m, informed
them of the action taken, and, looking
toward the future, said: IF Ameri-
can ships and American lives should
in fact be sacrificed in needless con-
travention of just and reasonable un-
derstanding of the principles of in
ternational law, ] shall take the lib
erty of coming again before congress
to ask that authority be given to use
any means necessary for the protec-
tion of our seamen and of our peo-
pie in the prosecution of their peace
full legitimate errands on the sea. We
can do nothing less, and 1 take it for
granted that all neutral governments
will take the same course"
The statement of the President left
no doubt that he meant that he would
ask sanction from Congress for a
declaration of war if compelled tC
again visit the capitol. A tremendous
ovation was given him when he fin
| ished, by Republicans and Democrats
alike. After returning to the White
House, President Wilson sent for Sec
retary Baker of the War Department
and Secretary Daniels of the Nav,
Department for a conference.
All neutral nations were formal,
notified through their representative
here of the requese of President Will
son that they take parallel action.

REDUCES CRIME
IN DENVER SAYS OFFICIALS
Omitted Press)

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 6-Prohibi-
ton and doing away with the red
light district have made crime among
women in Denver almost negligible,
the city authorities declared today.
That Denver has no need for a wom-
ans court, such as has been estab-
lished in New York, Los Angeles and
other large cities is the concensus of
opinion among city officials and peo-
pie interested in reform work. So
small is the number of woman prison
ers in the Denver police court that
court exclusively for women would
hardly have enough business to keef
open an hour a day.

formally announced. Heavy rails

day-the gist, in fact, of the en-
tire news columns of the Sun
day morning dailies.
That the efforts of the
TIMES met appreciation was
testified by the crowd that be-
sieged the office as time for

the further fact that twelve
hundred copies were sold on
the street in little over an
hour, and several hundred more
sent to near by towns, east and
west.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Tho answer
of Germany to the notice of Presi-
dent Wilson severing diplomatic re-
lations is expected within the day.
That it may be a declaration of war
is the belief among the officials here
who have arrived at the conclusion
that the final step is inevitable 1t
will cause no surprise if Germany
shall take the step now This belief
is strengthened by dispatches from
Berlin quoting DR.. Zimmerman OF
the German foreign office as saying
that there would be no step back
ward. President Wilson is said to
have told the senate committee on
foreign relations today that he had
reliable information that actual war
would follow the break. The report
of the London admiralty relative to
the killing of Richard Wallace, the
negro seamon, made the situation
more acute, pending investigation.

The administration is still frankly
in doubt with reference to the Wal
lace affair this afternoon. Better
wait awhile, pending the conclusion
of the investigation" was the advice
given by officials of the state depart
ment The fact that Wallace was en-
ployed on a collier made him vir-
tually member of the armed forces
of Great Britain and therefore sub
ject to unwarned attack However
nothing excuses the Smelling of a
life boat, and should the British re-
port in this respect be substantiated
by the investigation of Ambassador
Page it will be taken as conclusive
evidence that Germany intends to
wage ruthless warfare contrary to
international law. The tension is
much increased by reason of the fact
that the evidence now at hand at the
state department indicates that Ger
many has thrown caution overheard
