PRESCOTT WILL
 RAISE FUND slo,Oo0
OFrom Sundays DaiIy)

- AO''t
 Yavapai county's quota for the Red Cross dollar army to be raised start ing tomorrow, is sl0,O0q and the work of lifting this amount will be prosecuted with the utmost vigor. Workers for the Rcd Cross anticipate very little trouble making good on this matter, especially inasmuch as the city Of Tucson, before there was s formal call for raising fund, braccd up its gallusscs and raised S25,O0O within the city limits.
 Prescott and Yavapai county have plenty of enthusiasm for the work of the war-or that part of it, which an isolated and non-military community like this can do.
 In commenting upon tine activity which has been displayed by the girls and women of Prescott in the mem bcrship campaign which has been launched in Prescott, Dr. Taylor, of the University of Arizona, yesterday remarked: "I certainly compliment Prescott on the splendid work which it is doing for the Rcd Cross. l have just been on a tour covering practic- ally the entire State and have yet to find a city where such enthusiasm has been manifested and where so great a number have been enrolled for membership. In fact it occurs to me that there was not organized an of ficiai chapter in Prescott, that this was the first city in the State to actively take up the work in all its branches and now that a chapter has been established for the entire county, it seems to me that such a splendid example could be followed with good results by other cities in Arizona"

Meadorsville, Ky.-Mrs Pearl Pat rick, of this place, writes: "I was very constipated I had sour stomach and was so uncomfortable. I went to tie doctor. He gave me some pills. They weakened me and seemed to tear up my digestion. They would gripe me and afterwards it seemed l was more constipated than before.

 l cannot say too much for Black Draught for it is the finest laxative one can use"

NAVAJO CAPTIVATES
 THIS HASSAYAMPER
(From Sundays Daily)

Judge George w. Hancc, of Camp Verde, has returned from business trip to Navajo county, where he sold his cattle interests. He gives quite an interesting account of renewing old-timc associations in a region which he first visited nearly 40 years ago, when he was assessor of Hava- pal county. He states that the town of Snowflake, which was created in the ,70s in honor of Bishops Snow and Flake, is very thrifty and pros porous community. owing to the handiwork of the Latter Day Saints. and what was once a barren waste has been transformed into one of the most beautiful and productive sce- tions of Arizona.
 Judge Hancc, when assessor in 1877, made several trips on official business to what is now known as Apache and Navajo counties, but in those days was part of Yavapai coun- ty. He says there still remain many old-timcrs, and his recent trip was made all the more agreeable by meet ing so many of the first settlers. He was accorded many courtcsics, and his impressions of the country were excellent.
 Judge Hancc, it will be learned with regret by many in this section, is soon to leave Yavapai. He closed deals short time ago for all of his range and cattle interests, and is con tcmplating locating in Yuma county, where he is concluding negotiations for large farm. He will retain the historic home at Camp Verde, how ever. He returns to Navajo county next week to enjoy few weeks of recreation in fishing for trout and to visit with friends again.

ASKS S4O,OOO FOR LOSS OF
 HIS ARMS
(From Sundays Daily)

Lee K. Mccoy, a former worker in the sampling mill of the Consolidated Arizona Smelling Company at Hum boldt, values his two arms and hands at S20,000 apiece. That IS what he is asking for the loss of one hand and the injury Of the arms, so as to com- pletely disable them, according to the allegations in complaint filed against the company by Clark & Clark yes terday.
 Mccoy was working as a mechanic in the sampling works in March of last year. It was his duty to feed powdered resin to steel cable rum ming over bull-wheel, and one day, as he was leaning over in order to put the resin on the cable, his hand was caught and carried into the mechanism in such a way as to crush the fingers and make necessary the amputation of the left hand at the wrist. In try ing to save his left hand, he used his right, and succeeded only in getting the arm badly crushed in the wheels. which he alleges were without proper housings or protection for the work men.
 Mccoy was in the hospital until May 10, 1917. He claims that the in- jurics he suffered have permanently disabled him from working at his trade. He is 9 years of age and was receiving S425 day when he was hurt.

Dr. Klein was formerly associ- atcd with his father in a big sanitar- ium in Switzerland He thinks the climate of Prescott equals that of Europe's greatest playground for the treatment of tuberculosis.

 There is a hypnotic influence per vading the office of the Prescott Title Company, in which Dan Cupid seems to be the medium to swing his lariat whenever it seems opportune to rope and tic down to the altar of matri- mony.
 Z O. Brown, the manager, how ever, is inclined to believe there is a ''jinx" in active harness somewhere around the premises and his theory seems to be we'll founded by the mar riage during the week of Miss Emma Denny, an attache until recently, to John H. Shull, this being the seventh Prescott girl to leave the employ of the company via the matrimonial route Brown also says that the ab- stract work which carries the familiar phrase of to have and to hold" has evidently become deep rooted in the minds of the young ladies, and havoc has resulted in their heart beats. It seems the young ladies must succumb sooner or later, 10 the idea of pos scssing and enjoying home of their own. The loss of one Is followed by requests from others for employment, and applications are again coming in thick and fast for the vacant desk.
