Servant Was Paid No Wages
But Was Taken to Cemetery
Occasionally Just as Treat

An unusual servant in these days Of
high-priced help appeared before Jus
tice Cropsey in Brooklyn In Euphros-
mia Wiegert, who worked 10 years for
Mrs. Josephine Prentice of Brooklyn,
and says she collected only $f71.90 for
services, says the New York World.
She sued Mrs. Prentice's estate for
$3.39S and a jury gave her verdict
for $2O66.
Miss Wiegert testified that she
worked for Mrs. Prentice from 1902 to
1915, when the latter died. The maid
said Mrs. Prentice promised to remu-
nerate her upon the death Of her
mother, when she would come into an
estate left by her father. The girls
wages first were $1S month, she tes-
titled; later they were raised to 500
Mrs. Prentice and her mother died
within a short time of each other, fail
ing to provide for the faithful servant
Mrs. Margaret M. John, formerly n
neighbor of Mrs. Prentice, testified:
"Mrs. Prentice told me she thought
a great deal of Rose. She said that
sometimes she gave Rose % or so
cents, but did not pay her any wages.
Just for a treat, Mrs. Prentice said,
she would take Rose to the cemetery
and buy her lunch. She said she In
tended to be very good to Rose when
her mothers estate was settled"

Give Canning
a air Trial

Don't judge the success of canning
by your first effort with whatever
product you happen to find In market
when you begin operations" says a
statement just issued by the United
States department of agriculture. 1T
is more than likely that if you were a
beginner at canning you started with
Strawberries, the first fruit available.
If you did you should realize that
strawberries are one of the most diff
ficult Of all products to can satisfac-
torily. 1t is next to impossible, in fact,
to can this fruit, as distinguished from
preserving it Tin which case much
larger proportion of sugar is used), so
that its color, size, and texture will be
preserved.
ut is normal, if ordinary canning
practices are followed, to have straw
berries shrink, turn more or less brown,
and float to the top of the jars. The
product is palatable, however, and will
keep perfectly if the sterilization has
peen done properly.
Don't feel, therefore, that your
strawberry canning Is failure. Above
all, don't become discouraged and fear
that all your canning will be unsatis-
factory. Practically every vegetable
and fruit worth canning may be canned
and kept in a condition fairly compar-
able in flavor and texture to the fresh
product.
Canned food will be needed next
winter as it has never been needed be-
fore. Let your slogan be, therefore:
Can all the food you can; dry the sue.
culent foods which cannot be kept well
otherwise
I'm canning, specialize on nutritious
foods and concentrate to small bulk by
cooking down all vegetables high in
water content"

The first soldiers for the army rails

homes for the training environments
Wednesday. The President asks them
as brothers and comrades in the great
war to keep straight and fit by
standard so high that living up to it
will add new laurel to the crown
Of America. The message follows:
"The White House, Washington
To the Soldiers of the National Army:
You are undertaking great duty.
The heart of the whole country is with
you. Everything that you do will be
watched with the deepest interest
and with the deepest solicitude not
only those who are near and dear to
you, but by the whole nation besides.
For this great war draWe us all to-
gether, makes us all comrades and
brothers. as all true Americans felt
themselves to be when we first made
good our national independence. The
eyes of all the world will be upon
you, because you are in some special
sense the soldiers of freedom.
Let it be your pride, therefore, to
show all men everywhere not only
what good soldiers you are, but also
what good men you are, keeping your
selves fit and straight in everything
and pure and clean through and
through. Let us set for ourselves
standard SO high that it will be a
glory to live up to it, and then let us
live up to it and add a new laurel to
the crown of America. My affection
ate confidence goes with you in every
battle and every test. God keep and
guide you!

Mitchell Is Taken
Back to N. Camp

Departure from headquarters OF
Company n, National Guard of Ari-
IONA, led to the detention Sunday by
Corporal Maloy of Naco, of Private
J. b. Mitchell, resident of this city.
Mitchell is not charged with deser-
ton, but with having been absent
from quarters without leave. He
maintains that his time of service has
expired. His departure Sunday for
Naco, without resistance, it is thought
will have the effect of keeping the
charge against Mitchell as it is now
a minor one.
National guard officers have been
experiencing considerable difficulty
within the past few months on &C
count of sudden disappearance of
their men. Recently, list of six was
made out, and officers, including the
United States authorities, sent to look
for them in Phoenix, alone.
Mitchell is married and was form
erly employed here.

BAD ACCIDENT.
(From Tuesdays Daily

Harry Henderson was severely in
jured at his mining camp near Walk
er, Saturday morning, by a missed
hole being hit and when the explo-
sion followed, his face was badly cut
up, and it is believed he will lose the
sight of his right eye
The trouble occurred when he was
endeavoring 10 dig out with scraper
the giant powder from three holes
that failed TO go off. Two charges
were extracted, but when the spoon
OF the scraper struck the third one
the explosion resulted, and the flying
debris struck him full in the face and
chest. 1t is stated that he was thrown
five feet in the air, and for several
minutes was unconscious.
The right side of his face was near
ly torn off, and it is believed he was
injured internally. He was brought
to the city Immediately and placed in
Mercy hospital. His condition yes
terday afternoon was reported as en-
counraging for recovery, but whether
the right eye can be saved will take
several days to determine. A brother
was near him at the time OF the acct
dent. They were engaged in annual
title work on their claims Defective
fuse is given as the cause of this
accident.

PERRY
GOLD MINE IN
NEW HANDS
GOLD BLOSSOM COMPANY
TAKES OVER THE HIS
TORICAL HOLDING ON
THE HASSAYAMPA.
(From Tuesdays Gaily)

The Perry gold mine, in Hassay-
ampa district, owned by the Maricopa
Queen Oil Company OF California,
was sold yesterday to the Gold Bios
som Mining Co., which is operating
on Indian creek.
George NJ. Spiccr, OF Long Beach,
Cal. president of the Gold Blossom
concluded the negotiations after max
ing an inspection OF the Perry on
Sunday and returning to Prescott on
Monday rapid fire action was taken
by which the deal was consummated
for large sum, it is reported. Mr..
Spicer followed up the transaction by
letting development contract to
Walter Wilhelm, which was started
on Monday afternoon.
The sale of the Perry is quite i'm
portant owing to its past relation to
early-day gold mining movements in
that field, for its heavy output treated
by arastra and its irst-class ores
which were shipped outside of Ari-
IONA. 1t suspended many years ago
owing to discussions among its own
ers, and about two years ago was
taken over by the selling company.
Mr. Spicer said: My company in
taking over the Perry has desirable
mineral asset, and we naturally feel
elatcd in adding another unit to our
holdings. The original Gold Bios
som holding on Indian creek is prov
ing a good property. The main shaft
is 3S5 feet deep, and drifting on a
large ore body is under way. To be
candid this property looks better than
at any time, and with the Perry to
draw on in the future, our mineral
holdings have assumed a concrete
form that will support still larger
outlay for big development There
was no sparring for time in the Perry
deal, and the celebrity with which all
matters were wound up, will be fol-
lowed by as quick action in getting
the property in motion for deep de-
vclopment.'
Mr.. Spicer made the trip from Long
Beach, Cal, to personally look over
the Perry, and in less than three
hours of an inspection of old work
ings and surface conditions, wired his
acceptance of the proposition, which
was concurred in by associates of the
Gold Blossom.
