NOW IN HANDS
OF HIGH COURT

Final arguments in the governor
ship appeal were concluded before the
supreme court of Arizona late last
Saturday afternoon and the case or
dered submitted Counsel for Gov.
Campbell were allowed five days to
file points and authorities raised dur
ing the argument, and counsel for
Hunt an additional five days in which
to file points in rebuttal.
With reference to Snowflake pre-
cinct, counsel for Campbell argued
that if there were grounds for throw
ing it out, there existed equal grounds
for throwing out Swansea and five
other precincts in which there were
gross irregularities. The principal
argument, however, was over the
changed ballots in Douglas No. 1, each

when the ballot csame to be changed.
One which had not been advanced be-
fore was injected into the case by At
torney Nealon of Hunts counsel, who
claimed that the AZ ballots had prob
ably been voted by negro electors,
who very naturally marked a cross in
the straight republican column, then,
remembering Hunts attitude toward
prisoners and capital punishment, had
erased their first marks and voted the
straight democratic ticket.
Argument of the case for Hunt was
concluded by Struckmeyer, who ad
mitted the changed ballots in Douglas
No. l and the iptoxication of one of
one of the election officers. He de-
clared there was no proof to support
the theory that the ballots were
changed before they were counted by
members of the board.
Owing to the great amount of testi
mony in the case, it is not anticipated
that the supreme court will be able to
render decision without time-con-
suming deliberation.

the part of the government except to
serious work of increasing food sup
plies and eliminating all waste to the
end that the home supply of food
stuffs may be increased sufficiently
to allow the release of other foods for
our soldiers and our allies in Europe.
Throughout the nation the army of
volunteers in the homes will be
brought into this work beginning Oc-
tober %, and continuing for eight
days. This will be done in Arizona
through a pledge card drive under the
direction of Warren Macarthur, Jr.,
campaign manager, who is now organ
izing the state for this work. 1t is
hoped to reach every household in
Arizona, and the government will not
tolerate any interference with this
serious effort to mobilize the Ameri-
can home army which it is depending
upon to do it's great part in winning
the war. TIMOTHY A. RIORDAN,

GETS GOOD
SUM FROM FORESTS

PHOENIX, Oct. 26-Arizona is
richer by $123,8S152 as a result of a
check received by Governor Thomas
E. Campbell this week from the
United States treasury department at
Washington. This sum represents
the amount due the state from the
receipts collected by the government
from forest reserves located either
wholly or in part in Arizona, for the
fiscal year ending June 80, ILL.
Under an act of congress, approved
May %, 1908, each state receives 25
per centum of all money received
from each forest reserve during any
fiscal year.
The act provides that such sums
shall be expended as the state legis-
lature may prescribe for the benefit
of the public schools and public roads
of the county or counties in which the
forest reserve is situated.
The enabling act provides in section
"a for the payment to the state of a
certain proportion of the receipts from
the national forests within the state
as income for it's common school fund.
The largest amount received was for
the Coconino forest reserve in Coco
nino county. The state received ST.
54159 for the school funds from that
reserve. while an additional S33.17819
was received under the 25 per centum
act.
Of the total amount $42,84480 is
payable to the school fund, and $751;
03672 to 25 per centum fund. The
acts provide that the money shall be
expended in the counties in which the
reserves are located.
The check received by Governor
Campbell was turned over to State

The alright pitching of Herb Hall

the Mines last Sunday at Hayden, and
gave the Mill the post-season series

local boys only four hits, and famed

Bromley, who replaced Delhi after
the disastrous fifth, pitched an excel

FLORENCE PUTS
AMERICA FIRST
IN BOND WEEK

FLORENCE, Oct. 26-In accord
ance with the urgent request of the
committee on public information in
Washington, the local four-minute
men made a concerted drive in Flor
ence in connection with Liberty Loan
subscriptions. Instead of the usual
four-minute address every Saturday
night in the Isis theater, Judge 0. J.
Baughn, as chairman of the local four
minute men, arranged for four-min-
ute speech regarding the Liberty Loan
issue on Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
lowed by patriotic song arranged
for the occasion. Sometimes the Flor
ence Male Quartet was used, at other
times the Ladies Chorus sang.
The list of speakers in Florence in
cluded C. w. Gorham, M. o. Benscoe,
e. P. Patterson and J. R. Treat, and
also other local men, as the occasion
arose.
The Boy Scouts helped very ma
terially in the sale of Liberty Bonds
They began solicitation on Saturday
the goth, and astounded the commun-
ity by their being able to sell large
quantity of bonds on the first day.
They were ably directed by Professor
Edmunds, their scout master.
On Friday night an entertainment
was held at the Florence Union high
school, where the members of the
Florence Boy Scouts presented an at
tractive and interesting progress.
War service medals for the sale of
Liberty Bonds of the first issue were
awarded, and a general jollification
was had. The average maintained by
the Boy Scouts in Florence for the
sale of the first Liberty Loan Bonds
was more than foug times that of the
average throughout the United States.
Florence can boast of the only Boy
Scout in Arizona who sold more than
twenty-five bonds, his name being
George Truman, Jr. He is a son of
Assessor George E. Truman, who was
formerly a member of the Rough Rid
ers in the Spanish-American war
All indications go to show that Flor
ence has Over-SubScribed her quota of
Liberty Bonds, On Tuesday night,
Oct. %, Mrs. E. c. Devine, as local
chairman of the National Women's
Counsel of Defense, arranged an in
teresting program to take place
around giant bonfire. The entire

sion.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up corn or callus so 1t lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed YOU before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops of freezone applied directly on
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will post
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
IL your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Whales.

Whales are able TO attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up in the air.
A land animal, if 1t becomes too large,
cannot hold its body off the ground
or readily move about. and is doomed
to certain destruction. But a whale
has to face none of these problems
and can grow without restraint.
Because whales live In supporting
medium their young are of enormous
size at birth, in some instances the calf
being almost half the length of its
mother. / once took a 25-foot baby
which weighed about eight tons from
an S5-foot blue whale.-Exchange
