Street Vendors In China.

One of the characteristic features of
street life in IL Chinese village is the
large number of small tables or stands
along the street kept by vendors Of
peanuts, cakes, confectionery, fruits,
and the like, on which the goods sold
are arranged in small piles for sale at
a small price-a handful of peanuts for
10 cash, for example; Il handful Of
lichees for 10 cash, or a cent, and 80
on. Passersby put down their 10 cash
or cent pieces, pick up their purchase
and proceed to consume it.

NEW SITE CHOSEN
 FOR CITY DUMP

A new location has been set tied upon for the city dumping grounds. The choice was made by Councilmen Kirkpatrick and Reese acting in conjunction with Forest Supervisor Greene.
 The plan formerly proposed by MT. Greene, of selecting a dumping ground on the west side of the Grand Canyon road, far enough back to be out of sight from the road, was first considered. It was decided, however, that the cost of mak- ing a new road to this place would be prohibitive. The par ty then took a rapid survey of the land to the east of the road, and finally decided upon a plot of ground on beyond the old dumping ground, that is far enough from the road not to be objectionable, and yet is not in the Cataract Canyon.
 The committee agreed that the only practicable means of confning the area is by having the city fence the west side of the ground. In addition to this proper signs directing the wag- ons to the grounds and visible marks defining the ground, will be erected. The use of this ground is authorized by permit from the forestry service.

No Substitutes for Drafted Men

One provision of the new army bill which will command universal attention and satis- faction is section 8 which pro- vides that no substitutes can be employed or hired to replace men who are called into the country's service under the plan of selective conscription.
 This provision originated in the House, in the form of an amendment by Congressman Hayden of Arizona, and was passed by a large majority. The Senate retained the section so that it is now a part of the se- lective draft law.
 As passed, not only is a per son who is subject to service and approved by the officers prohibited from hiring a substi- ute for money or for any other valuable consideration, but no substitute will be permitted to enter the army or to receive any valuable consideration for so doing. The purpose is to make every man.. rich or poor, no matter what his station in life, serve his country if he meets the physical and other requirements.
 And this is as it should be. This is war for the benefit of the whole nation, for the cause of freedom and democracy ev- anywhere and there should be no favoritism, no substituting, no bargaining, by which one man can hire another to do his duty for him.-Colorado Springs Gazette.

FORD TRACTOR |S A
 MARVEL IN THE FIELD

The little Ford tractor is prov ing a marvel in the field. The farmers about Williams have been talking tractor a great deal of late and have com plained that it was useless to order them for they could not be delivered. Wyatt Smith of Babbitt's garage took a hunch from this and decided to see just what Henry Ford's promise of cheap tractor for the far mer amounted to. He accord ingly ordered one of the Ford attachments costing $167 laid down in Williams, and attached it to a second hand Ford ma- chine.
 The little tin Lizzie with the tractor attachment was set to work pulling a two disc gang blow, followed by a harrow, on the George Rounseville ranch. It marched right off with the load, starting in high and keep ing there. It moved faster than a horses pace and kept right at 1t all day long, turning some eight acres in ten hours.
 One additional change was found necessary, and that was an auxiliary tank to supply ad- ditional water to keep the en- zine cool. With this done the machine worked perfectly. It is now at work on the F. s. Herr ranch where it is eating up some 200 acres of ground with an eight foot disc, at the rate of fifteen acres a day. Those who see it working declare that it is simply little marvel.
 The cost of operating for a ten hour day is small. It is mak- ing MT. Smith a good income at the rate of $1 per acre.
 The point that adapts it to this country best of all is that it does not eat when not in use, which means much during the long winter. The change from automobile to tractor can be made in thirty minutes.
 Another good point about this tin horse is the fact that it delights in all kinds of farm work, moving, harvesting, cul- tivating, truck work, and at the end of the week in shedding its tractor wheels and speeding into town with the wife and the children.

REMEDY FOR POISONOUS BITES

The Stafford Bulletin tells of a man, Mir. c. P. Schroeder, liv- ing near that place, who was cured of a rattlesnal1e bite by using prickly pear cactus. He was bitten on the hand by a rattler and remembering that an old timer had told him that the prickly pear would take the poison out, he cut a piece from the cactus and opened it, put ting the inside next his hand. The swelling stopped almost i'm mediately, and in d few hours began to go down. At night he put another slab on. He was able to keep on working and suffered no inconvenience what. ever from the bite. Mir. Schroed- CT claims the cactus IS good to take the poison out of any kind of bite. He has had experience in using it on scorpion bites, as well as the rattlesnake bite.

If the men of Arizona desire to get to the front speedy and in a body of troops assignated as Arizonans there is a chance to do so by filling up the First Ar izona at once. It needs about 1000 men to fill it's ranks to full war strength. Those who wait for the selective draft, will have no choice as to companions with whom they will serve or the mil itary branch to which they will be assigned.

RED CROSS DOLLARS ARE GOOD
 AS BULLETS

Hundreds of American doc tors and nurses are alreadyzat the front. A force of 12,OOO American engineers will soon be rebuilding the railroads of France. Upwards of 25,OOO American men are now on the battlefelds of Europe, fighting as volunteers in the Allied ar mics; soon, g. LOGO American ra- gulars will be added to their nun Der. All our National Guard will be mobilized, our regular Army is to be recruited to full strength, and 5OO,OOO other men are shortly to be called to the colors. Within a few months we should and will have in serv- ice an army of 100000 and a navy of 15O,OOO men.
 These men must have our best. To prepare against their needs in advance will be a stupendous task which the Red Cross must undertake. Doctors, nurses, ambulances. must be ready. Vast quantities of hospital stores, lin en, bandages and supplies of every kind must be prepared and at once. If we wait, it may be too late. When we ask our own sons and brothers to fight for liberty 3 LOCO miles from home iu a country already sore and af- hlcted. surely we cannot do less than prepare to take care of them in their day of suffering.
