Method of Storing Cabbage.

Colorado bulletin. The cabbages are
stored by placing them mead down
three in row and two on top, MAX
ing tier of five cabbages, the roots
extending in the air. The pile may
be as long as necessary. Several
inches of straw or leaves should then
be put over the cabbage and the same
amount of earth thrown on them. Cab
bage may be kept frozen solid without
injury to the head, provided it is
thawed out very gradually.-Rural

do is to adopt diet suited to your
age and occupation and to keep
your bowels regular. When you
feel that you have eaten too much
and when constipated, take one of

HUNT RETURNED
BY DECISION Of
SUPREME COURT

Arizona's governorship contest was
finally settled last Saturday by the
supreme court, when that body handed
down decision to the effect that G..
w. P. Hunt had been legally elected
at the general election in 1916, and
was entitled to the office. The opin-
ion of the court was written by Chief
Justice Franklin, concurred in by
Judge Cunningham, Judge Ross spe-
cially concurring.
The decision restored to Hunt the
votes which had been taken from him
and given to Campbell in the lower
court, on the grounds of fraud and
illegal practices in Douglas Number
/. Testimony to the effect that elec-
tion officials were drunk and were
betting on Hunt while the votes were
being counted had led the lower court
to first throw out Douglas No. and
then to restore it, giving back to
Campbell the AZ votes which it was
claimed had been changed from him
to Hunt. The supreme court admitted
the official returns from Douglas No.
1, and threw out the returns from
Wilgus precinct, the decision giving
Hunt majority over Campbell of
forty-three votes.
Governor Campbell was prompt in
arranging to turn the office over to
Governor Hunt, the transfer taking
place Christmas morning. Governor
Hunt has already made number of
appointments, some of the more i'm
portant of which follow:
Commission of state institutions:
Homer Wood, Prescott; F. G. Struck
meyer. Chas. r. osburn, Phoenix; sec
retary to the commission, Francis
Joseph Mcbride, Phoenix.
State engineer, Lamar Cobb; in
spector weights and measures, o. N.
Creswell; inspector apiaries, p. III.
Benson.
Live stock sanitary board, Lon L.
Harmon, Phoenix; R. G. Brady, Tue
son; John w. Norton, Feldman.
John j. Sweeny was appointed this
week by Governor Hunt to be superior
judge of Yavapai county, succeeding
Judge Frank o. Smith, resigned.
The commission of state institutions
which organized this week has an
nounced the following appointments:
R. B. Sims, Florence, superinten-
dent state prison; DR.. A. CT Kingsley,
superintendent state hospital for in
sane; E. J. Trippel, Tucson, super
intendent pioneers home; w. A.
Moody, superintendent state indus

RAY BOYS ARE
GRATEFUL FOR
PARCE[S SENT

Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 18, 1917.
Arizona Copper Camp, Ray, Arizona,
Dear Editor: You no doubt will be
surprised to hear from me, but to
make a long story short, I received
about a week ago very nice pack
age of tobacco from Ray, marked from
the men at Ray. Not knowing whom
to thank, thought might reach them
through your paper. / have also re-
ceived from time to time other little
gifts from people of Ray, for which I
wish to thank the senders. I have
been in the army eight months now
and am enjoying the best of health,
and must say the hardest part of it
all is to be away from my friends in
Arizona. And I must say that there
is only one spot on earth for me and
that is Arizona, and as soon as this
great war is over you will see Chi
Cross right in Arizona.
1t has been very cold here the last
week and quite bad snowstorm.
Makes an old Arizona bird want to go
back where the sun shines every day
in the week. The boys out here at
this field are very well fed and
clothed and the people of Ohio are
doing all in their power to make 1t as
nice as they possibly can, SO no one
ought to kick at this time
Well, Mr.. Editor, if you will kindly
do this little favor / will thank you
in advance for the same.
Wishing every one in Ray a merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Yours respectfully,
CHI. CROSS,
Forty-second Aero Squadron,

XMAS EVE TRAGEDY
MARS THE HOLIDAY


A shooting affray on Christmas eve
at Superior, resulting in the death of
Ernest Lancaster, night watchman,
marred the Christmas celebration at
Superior. Edward Shipp, a deputy
sheriff, who fired the fatal shots, is
out under $4,000 bond, with his pre-
liminary hearing set for today.
The killing took place in the vicin-
ity of the Magma club house There
no witnesses. Shipp claims that he
shot in self-defense. The coroner's
jury returned verdict Tuesday af-
ternoon to the effect that Lancaster
met his death as result of wounds
from a revolver fired by Shipp. Testi-
mony was introduced at the inquest
to the effect that Shipp had been
drinking and that Lancaster's gun
was in it's scabbard at the time he
was struck down.
Lancasters body was shipped to
Prescott this week, where his mother
resides.

MINERALOGY
LECTURES AT
RAY CON CLUB

1t is interesting to note the method
whereby mineralogy can be taught in
three days as it will be when George
r. Fansett, rock analyst of the State
Bureau of Mines, comes to Ray on
January II, 18 and 10, and will ap-
pear at the Ray Con. Club.
The method is simple and while
proficiency can only be attained by
practice, the fundamental work can be
seen, tried and learned. It does not
involve a knowledge of chemistry, nor
does it require any expensive appa-
ratus.
The prospector is taught to make
about a dozen simple tests. A special
text is provided which gives in tabu-
lated form these tests, the phenomena
to be noted and lists of the minerals
answering to these various phen-
omena.
After the tests are all made, there
will be found to be probably only one
mineral which answers to all the tests
and appears in all lists. Then by re-
ferring to that mineral in another part
of the text, the observations can be
verified.
1t is seldom that a test will take
over fifteen minutes to make, and the
outfit merely consists of blowpipe,
a candle, a piece of charcoal, piece
of platinum wire and few fluxes
which may be obtained at the grocery
or drug store.
The work is interesting and will be
taught by doing it and by seeing it
done. Moving pictures will occupy a
part of the evening.
The text, which is sold for the exact
cost of printing, is put out as Bulletin
Al, 'sMineralogy of Useful Minerals of
Arizona" and can be obtained in ad-
vance by sending fifteen cents to

reau of Mines, Tucson, Arizona.

SMALL SAVINGS
PLAN EXPLAINED

Many requests have been received
for simple digest of the Govern
ment's wonderful plan for saving in
small amounts; which will give every
one an opportunity to help win the
war. 1t is believed that the following
statements will give the necessary
Information, fully, yet concisely:
The Savings Stamps are in two de-
nominations: rs cents Thrift Stamps
and $500 War Savings Stamps.
Both kinds of stamps may be bought
at any postoffice, bank or other sell
ing agency.
With the first rs cent Thrift Stamp
purchased, Thrift Card holding 16
stamps is given free of cost.
When your Thrift Card is filled, you
will have a total of $500.
Add f2 cents to that amount, in
December, 1912, or January, 1918, or
one cent more each month thereafter,
and any postoffice, bank or other sell
ing agency will deliver you War Saw
ings Stamp.
The War Savings Stamps may be
secured by the exchange of Thrift
Stamps as above outlined, or may be
purchased for cash at any postoffice,
bank or other selling agency.
The United States Government
guarantees to redeem each of these
"Baby Bonds" January I, 1928, for
$500.
The War Savings Stamps will cost
$4.12 in December, 1917, and January,
1918, and will cost one cent more in
February, and one cent more each sue
ceeding month.
A War Savings Certificate, holding
20 of these War Savings Stamps, is
furnished free of charge.
When you have filled this War Saw
ings Certificate it will be worth 500

RAYS XMAS IS
BOTH MERRY AND
SAD THIS YEAR

Christmas week for Ray was one
round of pleasure mixed with sorrow,
for while many homes seemed gay
with the Christmas decorations of all
kinds, still many of them had vacant
chairs for their loved ones in the
training camps. Some of the soldier
boys were home for a few days only.
The weeks program was ushered in
Sunday night at the Methodist church,
where the children entertained, fol-
lowed by talk on Rays service flag
by Mrs. French. One hundred and ten
stars appear on this service flag to
date.
Christmas day all of the children
were guests of the Ray Con club at
the club house, where t. S. Jacobs
as Santa Claus handed each child a
present from real Christmas tree.
1t was nice sunshiny day for the
little tots. Some could not be there
on account of sickness but they re-
ceiyed their presents from the club
at home.
The Christmas Dance
The club house was cleaned up
and redecorated and at P. M. Christ
mas night, the third annual Christ
mas dance given by the Ray Con
club was in progress. It met with
Overwhelmingly success. Evergreens
and holly gathered in the hills around
Ray were much in evidence.
One of the largest crowds ever in
attendance filled the dancing floor
while an overflow crowd danced on
the porches around the club house.
Last night there was another big
dance at the club house following a
splendid concert given by the Ray
Con band.
