 Miss Frolik has been confined in the hospital for sometime, and fol- lowing the first work done by the surgeons her wounds began to heal but the skin in healing over, was rapidly contracting the muscles of the eye, and the loss of sight was threat ened The doctors decided that skin grating would have to be resorted to if the girls eyesight and good looks were to be preserved. A call was made for volunteers to give up small portion of their epidermis for the sake of the mutilated patient in the hospital.
 A Los Angeles newspaper which gives an account of the affair states that nearly 500 persons applied at the hospital with offers 10 allow a DOT ton Of their skin to be removed for tic benefit of Miss Frolik Among those who volunteered was Miss Grazt, and she, with three other young women and one man, was selected 10 make the sacrifice The skin-grafting process was completed on November StIl, and Miss Frolik is now on the way to recovery, with every indica- ton that within a month or so she will have been relieved of practically every trace of the disagreement caus, cd by the rash deed of her crstwhilc sweetheart

b|G SUM WAITING ID BE SPENT ON
 COUNTY ROADS
GOVERNMENT TURNS OV- FER TO STATE MONEY FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HIGHWAYS; YAVAPAI TO GET S14, ,103.29.

With the decision of Governor Campbell as to whether or not all proposed State road work shall be suspended, still pending, particular in tcrcst attaches to the announcement that the State has received Sl23,SSl.52 from the Federal government to be spent on county road work.
 This fund represents per cent oi the total revenue received by the Federal government on the national forest reserves within the State. The sum of S42,S4480 of this sum repre- scnts the States share of the income on State school lands. This amount is to be turned over to the State school fund.
 The rest of the fund, amounting to SSI ,036.72, is turned over to the coun- ties of the State in which there are national forest reserves. Each coun- ty is paid in proportion to the acre age of the preserves within the county.
 Under the law, each county must use this money for the building and repairing of roads. The money can not be absorbed by the State, fact which assures ultimate road improve mcnts, even though it is decided as has been suggested to suspend all proposed road work by the State dur ing the period of the war.
 State Auditor Jesse Boyce sent out warrants to tkc various counties cn titled to share in the forest reserve fund. distributed as follows:

If there is anyone residing in this section who IS dcsirous of earning the sum of S24,4S0, here is the opportun- ity to do so. All one has to do to earn this neat sum will be to round up the 4So alleged slackcrs whose names are listed below and deliver the laggards to the military authorities at Douglas, and receive a reward of $50 apiece, making total reward of S24.45O, pro vided anyone is successful in apprc- hcnding all oi the men who arc in- cluded in the classification Of slackers.
 The local exemption board yestcr- day afternoon issued the list of names, of all he men having failed to appear before the board for the first examin- ation at the time they were called in. The board has been several weeks in preparing the list, and it is now pub lished with the hope that some of the slackcrs may be apprchended and made 10 realize that Uncle Sam and the war department were not kidding when they told the men their presence was desired before the exemption board.
 If any person has in mind the at tempt to round up .a number ot the men whose names appear below, he should take into consideration the fact that the railroad flare to Douglas, the point where the men are to be de- livercd, is something like $50 round trip. and the one-way fare of the stacker would bring the mileage up to S45, so that the net profit on each l. y,, t-fnt of this fact, one would have to make ar engagements to take the men to Doug las in wholesale lots if the venture is to be made profitable ono. During the days when old Fort Whipplc was garrisoned, the local officers used to make quite a few dollars returning deserters to the military prison at the barracks, but now that ono has to travel as far south as the Mexican border in order to deliver the pris- oncrs, there is some doubt as to the size of the profits which would accrue from such long trip. The names and addresses of the men wanted are the following: George C. Carter, Clarkdale.
