Arizona Native
 Is Badly Wanted
 In New York City

A four year old black tail buck deer, raised within a few miles of this city, was shipped last night to the New York Geological park by the Arizona game warden depart ment. The buck was consigned to pr. William T. rsornaday, who is superintendent of the park.
 pr. Hornaday wrote to State Game Warden Willard several weeks ago, stating that he was de- sirous of securing native Arizona deer for the New York Geological park. He stated that practically all varieties of North American deer were represented at the park with the exception of the black tail.
 Game Warden Willard set about to locate suitable specimen. His search was suddenly halted, how ever, when he learned that deputy in his own department had just what he was looking for. The dep uty had captured a buck deer in infancy, raising it in captivity.
 The deer started it's long journey eastward last evening and will ar rive in New York, it is thought, the first of next week. It is not thought that the animal will suffer from the long train ride.

CAMPAIGNS ON ANTI

Raleigh, N. G. June 18.-So far

ing to do their part Of the work.
The greatest drawback to the
work as a whole, according to
DR.. T. M. Jordan who is State
director for the State Board Of
Health Of the anti-typhoid work
is the scarcity Of doctors to ad-
minister the vaccine, but this is
due, thinks DR.. Jordan, to the
fact that physicians have not yet
understood the Boards s plan OF
procedure in doing this work,
which method, as explained by
him, works no hardships on the
doctors Of any country. The val
ue of this work of preventing SO
costly a disease as typhoid can
not often be realized until it
either breaks out in epidemic
form or takes number Of yalus
able citizens. each of which
meant more to the county than
the cost .of dozen anti-typhoid
campaigns.

With The French Armies, June
Adjutant Madon Of Che
French Army Aviation just re-
ceived a new citation to the order
of the day before the French ar
mics for what might be termed
the first hand-to-hand battle be-
tween an aeroplane and infantry.
This encounter had taken place
miles behind the German lines.
Selecting a cleared space back
of forest, Madon alighted and
began the hasty readjustments.
Presently he noticed man ap-
preaching, staring at him curl
ously. AS the Individual was not
in uniform, he decided, the man
must be French peasant. Call
out to him in French he said:
S'Please 60 away quickly, my
friend. I don't need your ser
vices and your presence might
attract the Germans
Within an instant, Madon was
disillusioned. Turning, the man
uttered command in German
and signalled for an advance.
Instantly a German patrol leaped
to it's feet, and with rifles aimed
started to bear down on the
French aviator.
Almost at the same instant the
motor Of the airplane began the
rhythmic chugging that indicated
it was again operating properly.
E,Madon leaped to his seat, loosened
his breaks, adjusted his machine
gun, and charged at ever increas-
ing speed on the advancing in
fantry patrol.
| The latter opened fire with
their rifles as Madon's machine
gun caught them in its deadly
sweep. The Germans went down
as though moved by cycle, moi
! over three or four remaining
standing or kneeling.
Madon increased the speed o1
his engine and then bore dowr
on the few remaining Germans
| Whether they fell before tht
wings Of the aeroplane struck
them, or were moved down BY
the machine, Madron does no
know. He knows that he swep'
over them and an instant after
i wards had taken the air.

A New Measure for Distance.

Some mud-bespattered autoists were
attempting to reach Nashville, Brown
county. Even with chains on their
wheels, they we're wasting lots Of gaso-
line in investigating washout or
valley which they had left triumphant
sly only a few minutes before.
Three times in three hours they had
asked the distance and each time had
received the same answer.
"'Bout three miles to Nashville"
It is true that in those three hours
they had had one blowout and once
they had to get team of horses to
pull them out of the mud. But even
so, it seemed as If they could not be
more than half mile away. Finally
they met a man on horseback.

not lost on him. He grinned and said
