TO AVOID CHAIN LETTERS.

The Saltwater Gazette advises that
whenever or wherever you receive one
of these "chainless" letters put the
same quietly but safely in the waste
basket or in the stove tor furnace
They are not only foolish but in most
cases no doubt fraudulent, and should
be treated as such by all who receive
them. Chainless letters are humbug
from start to finish and the sooner the
chain is broken the. better for the COM
munity.

ANNUAL BENEFIT FOR FIREMEN
Thirty-Third Annual Dance Will Be
Given by Sauk Centre Volunteer
Dept. November 20.

At a meeting last Wednesday night
preliminary arrangements were made
for the annual Thanksgiving Ball to
be given by the Sauk Centre Fire De-
partment on Nov. 20. AS usual, the
dance will be given at the city hall
and music will be furnished by Mil
lers Orchestra. Every effort will be
made to accommodate the guests bet
ter than ever. The balcony will be
reserved for the use of those who dc
not wish to dance, but care to look
on. The entire ball will be attractive
ly decorated. Supper will be served
at the Waldorf Cafe, where a large
number can be taken care of at one
time. Mr.. DuBeau will have an extra
force of mattresses that none will be
compelled to wait. Tickets will be
placed on sale Monday with the
general committee, composed of ]. A
Kusba, Aloysius Meyers, August
Dahlem, Albert Markuson and Mike
Frank.
Z It goes without saying that every
one will buy a ticket. Sauk Centre
always has and she always wiz There
is no more prsiseworthy organization
than the Saulk Centre Volunteer Fire
Department and the city realizes this
fact. This year the department has
been very liberal in the expediture
Of their money, part of which is
realized By the annual dance. The
recent purchase of the Ford chemical
truck amounting to about $3.50 was
their latest. Il would appear, there
fore, that every one should dig down
. little deeper this year in the sup
port of this organization. = :

general. They must report periodically
to some officials if the attorney gen.
eral so orders. They may not travel
in the United States without permit
and may not approach within 100
yards of any wharf, pier, dock, ware
house, shed, elevator, storage house,
roailroad terminal or other establish
ment which the attorney general may
designate.
They are forbidden to travel on the
ocean, Great Lakes or any river or wa
terway, in public or their own private
boats. They may not reside or enter
into the District of Columbia or
Panama canal zone and are not per-
mitted to make aerial flights in
balloons or airplanes.
The new order applies to Germans
living within the United States, the
Philippines, Porto Rico, Alaska and
other possessions and territories, but
does not effect subjects of Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria. 1t is effective

he puts them over always brings a
round of applause. His funny capers
keep the audience in a continuous up

comedians are, together, the fun is
riotous. Douglas Feming, the good

LANDS ELIMINATED FROM
 MANZANO NATIONAL FOREST

On November 30, 1917, the Presi- dent signed a proclamation eliminat- ing from the Manzano National For est, New Mexico and Arizona, approx imately 326,S1S acres of land. This large elimination comprising a num- Der of different areas results from the classification work being carried on by the Forest Service, as a result of which it was found that the lands in question are of such a character that they should be excluded from the National Forest. A considerable DOT ton of the eliminations are embraced in several areas situated from 15 to 25 miles west from the city of Albu- querque, New Mexico. Another area comprises solid block of 21a town ships in northeast Arizona immedi- ately adjoining the Arizona-New Mex ico state line. Other large elimina- tions are situated adjacent to the Zu- nj Indian Reservation in extreme western New Mexico.

He was 70 sore he could not bear to press on himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He weighed i65 lbs, and fell off until he weighed no lbs, in two weeks.
 He became constipated and it looked like he would die. We had three different doctors, yet with all their medicine, his bowels failed to act. He would turn up . ten cent bottle of castor oil, and drink It two or three days in succession. He did this yet without result. We became desperate, he suffered so. He was swol- len terribly. He told me his suffering could only be described as torture.

COLD STORAGE EGGS
 MUST BE SOLD SOON

Two-thirds of the stocks of eggs in cold storage in Arizona must be dis posed of by January 1, 1918, accord ing to an order which has been receiv- ed by Timothy A. Riordan, United States Food Administrator for Ari- zona, from w. F. Priebe, in charge of the poultry and egg section of the perishable foods division.
 In letter to the commission men, MT. Priebe indicates that there are al- together too many eggs in cold stor- age at this time and asks their coop eration and that of their patrons in securing large withdrawals before the first of the year. The tendency of such withdrawals, it was pointed out, would be to reduce the cost of eggs to the consumer.
 "The stock of eggs now in cold stor- age is largely in excess of that at this time last year." he writes, land the interests of all concerned-producers, holders, handlers, consumers and the United States Food Administration seem to make necessary a coordinated movement to dispose of that excess"
 The writer's charges of overstock- ing are borne out in the reports of the Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture, which shows that for November, 1917 there were in 408 houses an excess over the same period for 1916 of 757,- ell cases, or 20.8 per cent in cold storage eggs in cases and an excess for 145 houses of 7193,751 pounds of frozen eggs, or IA per cent.

NEW LAW FOR ASSESSMENT
 WORK IS QUITE A PUZZLE

From the fact that almost 10000 blanks have been distributed by the Arizona State Bureau of Mines to prospectors and others who wish to give notice of intention to hold min ing claims under the joint resolution of Congress, it is evident that this law is going to relieve many from their annual assessment work.
 The law is more or less indefinite, having had as yet no court interpre- tations, and it has caused flood of inquiries to come to the Bureau of Mines. While the Bureau has, of course, no authority to interpret the law, advice is given as to the inter- pretation that the authorities of the Bureau consider correct.
 Among the question that have been asked is whether or not corporations can avail themselves of the privileges of the law. Without doubt they can for while the law does not state spe- officially corporations, it states "the owners of mining claims" It would be unconstitutional to make a law that would discriminate against cor porations, as that would be class leg islation.
 Another question that is popular is whether or not groups may be record ed on one blank. It would probably be legal to put even a lot of miscella, neous claims on one blank, but it would be inadvisable, owing to the difficulty of having the blank de- scribe the claims definitely. There would be no difficulty, however, in re, cording a group of contiguous claims upon one blank. ..
 It is also asked whether or not it is necessary to record the notice of in. tention to hold. The law distinctly says that it is necessary to file same but does not mention recording. The intent of the law is to save much ot the money ordinarily put into monde, script assessment work, and also un. doubtedly to save the money usually spent in recording.
 Can one pardner file notice for the two, is another inquiry. Without doubt he can, but it should be signed for instance, "Smith & Jones, by R s. Jones'"
 There is some conflict as to tho real necessity of filing blanks at all Without doubt, merely letter to tn, county recorder would be sufficient but in order to get uniformity ot methods, the State Bureau of Mine. issues special blanks, which are dis tributed free. While a letter would probably be legal, the blank is pref erable.
