HUNTSVILLE

Huntsville, October 10.--(Special.) The third call for registered men to come in for physical examination to determine their fitness for service in the national army has been issued oy the Madison county board of exemp- lions. This time 800 men have been called to report October 16. With ll2o of the names on the list of 1852 drafted men there have been so many exemp- tions granted that the quota of 4lo still lacks nearly 100 of being complete. It is expected that many of the men who have been passed up in the physical examinations as well as those who have been exempted for various req sons will be called back later on.

 Fewer boll weevils than were found in this section last year have been found this year. It is believed that the extremely cold weather of last win ter gave them a setback from which they have not recovered. No damage has been done cotton by this pest. The only thing that the cotton planters fear is killing frost before late in the fall. Experts declare that every day That killing frost is deferred from now on will add at least 10 bales to the Madison county cotton crop.

SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD

The local Forest Service re ports a very serious fire hazard on the Tusayan National Forest at the present time, due to the lack of precipitation since in early September, with the ex- ception of the morning dews. This situation is more acute on account of the inability to se- cure men for the three primary lookouts on this Forest.
 Supervisor Yarnall left at noon, Wednesday, October IA, for a fire reported south of Cole man Lake.
 The public using the Tusay- an Forest have always been ex- tremely careful with fires, which is one of the main factors in assisting the officials of the Tusayan Forest in keeping the fire damage the present year to a minimum. They will surely appreciate the public coopera- ton, especially during this period and every person pass ing through the Tusayan Nat ional Forest can render a valuable service to the Govern ment by using extreme care in their campfres lighted matches and cigarettes, and in reporting any fires that might be reported by them.

 October 30, -'17 Dear Folks,
 We are now on the move and we are in Louisiana. We just crossed the Mississippi River at Baton Rouge and New Orleans. We have a train of 20 cars. Four squadrons are on the train about $50 men.
 We have to travel very slow according to orders so we won't be in New York until Saturday or Sunday, if by then.
 We are travelling up through the swamp lands now. Gee, 1 would like to be off the train and have a gun. The swamps >are just loaded with ducks.
 It is all new country to me here and is very interesting. We go through all the states along the Gulf. We have to go thru Washington, D. C.. also, so we will see the Capitol of the U. s. We will soon be in Mississippi, Mobile, and tonight in Atlanta, Georgia.
 Our meals are served to us right in our seats. Once a day we get out for exercise.
 I am we'll and enjoying every thing. Will write again soon,
 Your loving son,
 Walter

SMALL PILFERER

A little maid of Mexican de- scent has been causing the To- cal authorities some trouble lately by her petty thieving. Thursday morning she was caught wearing an expensive coat, which it proved she had calmly appropriated from a house near the school, instead of going to school. The coat was a woman's size and com pletely enveloped the seven year old child. She proved to be adept at fabricating tales as to her family, home and any thing else upon which she was questioned, but finally was found to be the daughter of Mexicans living in the west part of town. The parents told the officers that the child was incorrigible and beyond their control and that they would willingly do anything suggested for her welfare.

DESERT LOSES Wm. J. BRY-
 AN NEAR SACATON

Hon. William J. Bryan, for mer secretary of state, and Mrs. Bryan spent most uncomfort- able day last Friday in trying to find their way through the desert to deliver an address at the Pima Indian Fair at Saca- ton. The Nebraskan's machine was lost in the mesquite bushes for hours before a friendly In- dian set the party on the right road to headquarters, and MT. Bryan arrived to make his ad- dress after nearly every disap- pointed spectator had left for home.
 The Bryans were the guests of Superintendent Ward until the first of the week and in or der to furnish diversion for his distinguished visitor, took him for a duck hunt at Blackwater slough. During the hunt a wildbull attacked and scattered the party and but for the friend ly shelter of a tree, tragedy would have been enacted. Oth- CTS in the party came up and killed the animal. The horns are now highly prized as sou- veniers.

THE DEVIL HEARD FROM

HE'LL, Nov. 2.-(To the Ed itor of the Times, Los Angeles, Cal, Earth:) It is very seldom that we inhabitants of He'll and loyal subjects of his Satanic Majesty, condescend to take notice of the petty affairs of your mortal world. Once in every thousand years or so. however, something arises that is so damnably false and libel ous that we are compelled to protest.
 In the issue of November ' of you paper (which, by the way, enjoys the largest circula- ton among our best citizens of any periodical which reaches us) there appears an article un- der the heading, Satan Abdl- cates the Throne of Hell" which purports to be letter from His Satanic Majesty to one Wilhelm von Hohenzollern-
 I myself, as Prime Minister of Hell, brought this item to his Majesty's attention, and never in the many thousands of years of my experience have l seen him in such a laundering rage Had you been here, sir, you would have thought that hell had broken loose, indeed.
 When His Majesty's anger had subsided sufficiently to per init him to speak, he issued the following official statement, which, in all justice, 1 demand that you give due prominence in your paper:
 HELL, Nov. 8, "To All the Universe,

PATRIOTIC KISS HAS
 UNEXPECTED RESULT

The patriotic kiss of a fair maiden at Flag has brought unexpected results if reports current in Williams are true. and as they are substantiated by plenty of evidence it seems that they may be believed.
 About two weeks ago the Flagstaff Normal School girls assisted the ladies of Flagstaff in caring for the soldiers pass ing thru that city, by serving coffee and sandwiches, and occasional patriotic kisses, too, to the troopers. Undesirable tho it was, it nevertheless has developed that in all probabil- ity, this was the manner in which several of the girls con- tracted smallpox or some very similar disease.
 Three of the young ladies have been very i'll and are in quarantine at the Normal and at last reports symptoms of the nnalady were unmistakable. Pupils living in other dormitor- ies were allowed to return to their homes but the residents of the hall in which the patients had roomed were not allowed to leave after the quarantine was established Friday. This ruling was accountable for the information reaching the public as several mothers here were and are very worried over the forced absence of their daugh- ters.
 The Flagstaff press has so far refrained from noting the presence of the malady in that city and had fewer students of the school passed thru Williams going home for vacation it is doubtful if the facts would have become so we'll known.
 It is presumed that the dis ease, if contracted from troops, was in the ranks of the regulars and not the Arizona soldiers.
