 Certainly every street in the city can be oiled. When you see block anywhere that has not received oiling you may know that the residents thereon are tvs. If we had an oil well in our back yard we would SUD- ply these tvs with all the oil they needed.
 There are a lot of automobile driv- CTS in Prescott who try their best to make the highest possible speed. Es- pecially do they make this effort when our streets are dusty. Thanks to our city officials, a number of these "speeders' have been fined, and we hope that others will be made to pay for violating this speed ordinance. The majority of Prescott's automo- bile owners are careful drivers. but as elsewhere there are always some John Alexander Smarts" who think that they necessarily have to be 'it'' and these are the kind the mayor wants to see.

Tanner Case Jury
Locked Up Again

After having deliberated for more
than ffty-fve hours and apparently as
far from reaching a verdict as when
they retired, the jury in the Rae Tanner
perjury case was locked up for the
night at 1880 o'clock at the Hotel
Knickerbocker. Judge Van Fleet in
formed Frank Samuels, it's foreman,
that he had adjourned court until Mon
day. and that he thought they could
agree by then "or some time later"
The court announced, however, that he
would be glad to receive verdict be-
fore Monday, should one be reached,
provided he was not called after 10
o'clock at night.
The longest record for a jury in the
Federal Court in this district was es-
tablished by one in the New Haven
Railroad case, which was out sixty-one
hours. The Tanner jury will pass this
mark az o'clock this morning. That
the jurors are prepared for long siege
was evidenced when they sent deputy
marshals to their homes for razors and
clean linen.
Miss Tanner spent the evening re-
clning on a bench in the courtroom
and appeared i'll, as aromatic spirits of
ammonia were given her several times.

we speak of is the little escapade ex-

car, and were headed west, Mr.. Fergu-
son doing the steering and Mr.. Bower
occupying the side car. In some
manner when the vehicle reached the

However, it was a narrow escape, and
might have resulted in more serious

DOnt's for the knitters of Socks

Don't cast on tightly. An otherwise
well-knitted sock may become useless
by tight cord at the top.
Don't knot your wool. Join the
ends by splicing, or by knitting the
ends double for 2 or 3 inches.
Don't make seam down the back
or on the sole. Remember a man may
not have chance to change his socks
for many days, and lump or knot
brings blister If the blister breaks,
blood poisoning may set in and result
in the loss of foot or even Of life.
We cannot afford to lose our men
through negligence or Ignorance.
Don't use needles too fine for the
Wool. The knitting should be elastic
if too tightly knitted the sock be-
comes hard and boardlike in use.
Don't make foot less than l0l4
inches long 1OHa to liz inches is
the correct size.
Don't use pins in fastening pairs or
size tags.
Care should be taken in making
wristlets and sweaters also to cast on
or bind off very loosely" An other
wise perfectly good pair of wrstlets
is useless if the end is too tight to 70
yer mans arm. -
