AVOID USELESS XMAS
 PRESENTS THIS YEAR

"Join the Spugs" is the latest econ omy movement that is spreading over the entire United States. The Spugs in it's initials stands for the Society for the Prevention of Useless Giving, probably one of the greatest extrava- gances of the American people today.
 One hundred million dollars are spent annually in the giving of Christ mas presents when a card would serve the same purpose. One hundred mil lion dollars are also spent in giving Christmas presents in a reciprocal at titude, and joining the Spugs means more than the proper econ omy in the distribution of Christmas gifts.
 By the elimination of useless Christ mas giving nothing will be lost and much will be gained, and it is a move ment which should be widespread ir Europe.

WIFE GETS DIVORCE ON HIS CHARGE; IS
 A SERIOUS AFFAIR

At the end of the primrose path lay marital disruption and divorce.
 In the courts of Mohave county this week the case of Mir. and Mrs. R. R. Cook came up for consideration from two different angles. The first case was wherein R. R. Cook, an attorney of Chloride, sought to obtain a divorce from Mrs. Cook. The latter, upon pre- sentation of the case, was given the divorce on her answer and cross-com- plaint.
 The testimony in the divorce pro- ceedings was of such nature that a charge of pandering on a state warrant was brought against Cook, and it was announced by the prosecu- tion that federal charges under the Mann act would be brought. Mrs. Cook was the only witness in this ac- tion, Cooks attorney waiving cross examination and presentation of the case for the defense at the prelimin- ary hearing before Justice of the Peace J. H. Smith Wednesday after noon. Cook was bound over to the su- Derior court under bond of S2OOO, which was furnished and the defend ant given his liberty.
 Mrs. Cook testified in both proceed | ngs that she had supported Cook for nore than two years by leading life # prostitution. Cook himself, testify ng in the divorce proceedings, admit ed that he had travelled in various tates with the defendant and had re- eived money earned by her while eading this kind of life.
 Cook declares that the charges are he result of a "frame-up," and as- erts that he will be able to clear imself of them.

Stewart and Dave Nash, with their families, formed a camping party and report having had d splendid outing. The only trouble about shooting this year, according to Dr. Shannon, is the poor ammunition. "One would imagine that we were having a sham battle" said Dr. Shan non, "from the almost continuous fir ing. But we didn't bag many ducks until we bought a few old boxes of shells at Fort Mohave" The poor ammunition is attributed to war con ditions.
