HIGH COST OF AUTOING IN
EUROPE

The only automobile i'll Germany
running on pneumatic tires is Kaiser
Wilhelm's. Even the crown prince is
denied this luxury Along with Won
Hlndenburg, Ludendor, Won Mac
kensen and other diadems' in the
German crown, the crown prince
pumps along the front on tires filled
with rags, compressed cork and
paper.
In some countries tires are not to
be had at all except at q fabulous
price, and only after a dozen or two
high government officials have had
one Oh the witness stand for weeks,
literally speaking.
Gasoline Is worth more than cham
payne, and is obtainable only with
government consent, and nine
tenths Of the automobiles are not
running.

"The Grape OF Brazil"

A notable feature Of gardens within
a certain area about Rio de Janeiro is
the jabotieaba tree. The delicious fruit
Is often known as ''the grape Of Bra.
zil' on account Of it's appearance, and
as described In a bulletin of the United
States department Of agriculture, Is
conspicuous from it's peculiar habit OF
growing directly upon the bark, not
only of the small limbs but even of
the trunk and exposed roots. The tree,
growing to height Of 35 to 40 feet,
branches freely close to the ground,
spreading into symmetrical leafy top
Of great beauty. The flowers, produced
singly and in clusters, often cover the
entire bark above the ground. The
fruit develops rapidly to diameter of
half an inch to an inch and half, has
a deep maroon-purple color, Is covered
with thick, rather tough skin charged
with coloring matter and much tannin.
and contains the translucent juics
pulp, having an agreeable vinous fla
vor suggestive Of the Muscatine grape.
One to four fattened oval seeds,
quarter Of an inch long. are inclosed
in this pulp. The fruit tempts one to
eat indefinitely, the complaint being
that 1t is impossible to satisfy ones
appetite on jaboticabas.

-. A. STAGGERING OUTPUT.

During the month Of October the
Ford Motor Company made 79,675
cars. In the last six months their
production was 489.1s5 or at the
rate OF 9aS,270 per annum. The
estimated production for the year
was placed at 100000, abou, 5000
per day. but there is small doubt
that unless war conditions prevent
that there win be more than one
million Ford cars made within the
Ford fiscal year August /. l917. to
August I, 1918. Staggering as are
these tigures--this tremendous tri-
unph OF manufacturing possibilities,
It ts equally astonishing to know that
demand is ever ahead of production,
and that there has not been a day,
since August last. that there has not
been orders on hand for more than
100000 cars for immediate delivery.
The Parker Motor Company are
agents for Ford cars in the Parker
territory, which includes all north
ern Yuma county.

Queer Sort Of Butter.

A queer sort of butter Is obtained in
Trinidad, where cows and cream are
scarce. This butter is the boiled-down
fat Of bird called the guacharo. The
Illustrated World. says that this bird
lives in the darkest caves, and seldom
is seen in the daylight. The young
birds are extremely plump and from
them is obtained rich fat, the natives
very good substitute for butter. The
birds are taken from their nests when
two or three weeks old. After they
are killed, they are put on to boil, not
in water, but in their own fat. The
natives experience some difficulty in
getting at the nests of the guacharo,
for they must creep through caves and
wade through stagnant pools to reach
their prey. The full-grown guacharo is
80 timid that no one ever has been able
to photograph living specimen.

FARMERS BUYING FORDs.

AS an evidence of the prosperity

Ford garage reports that 1t is irnpos-

they have on hand for light cars.
The firm has sold four carloads Of
machines in Yuma in the last two
weeks and has two cars which arrived
Saturday, all sold previous to arri-

saving of waste in many Of the homes
Of the poor. Those who are able to
waste and not suffer must remember
that there are thousands starving fol
want of food. Many times the reason
people are poor is simply the lack OF
using economy and wisely spending
the amount to be used In food, cook
ing more than Is needed, serving too
MUCH, so that 1t is thrown into thg
garbage can, and having too great Il

in combination with mutton or veal
they are an addition to the meat.
Cooked in very little water and then
seasoned with butter, bit Of grated

Beets are another good vegetable
easily grown and not requiring ex-

they are most wholesome in the early

year ending June 30> 1917, show an
increase OF 78.451,0S6 bushels or
close to ITO per cent over the pre-

ded during the coming year by the
Santa Fe, Prescott & Phoenix rail-
road company for new material and
improvements, the budget taking care
Of the expenses incidental to the
work having been completed by the
local officials of the road recently.
The largest item In the proposed
scheme for improvements Is the re-
placing the 56-pound rails which are
laid between Ash Fork and Skull
Valley, with 85-pound steel. This
stretch Of road Is 140 miles in length,
and it Is the Intention Of the road Of
ficials to put the track In shape for
the installation Of series Of much
heavier locomotives, which in a few
months are to supplant the engines
now In service on this division. The
40 miles Of track between the P. &
E. Junction and Kirkland are to be
reballasted and a number Of small
bridges will be eliminated by the sub
stitution Of earthen embankments

sidings will be heightened and other
departments of the service will be
improved and rejuvenated so that

Heavy and Vast Amount of Ma
terlai is Required for
the Trenches.

When it Is remembered that there
are today under arms more than o..
100000 soldiers in the European war.
the immensity Of the task of keeping
them supplied with the munitions
with which they wage war will ap-
pear. It has been estimated that It
costs approximately $1OO to outfit &
soldier. OF this $50 goes for gun
and $35 for his 1000 rounds Of car
tridges. The average life of a uniform
under modern service conditions Is
very short; that Of the ordinary rife
is six months. In all of the history
of war there never has been such q
rapid exhaustion of all Of the materi-
ais with which it is made, says the Ma
tional Geographic Society Bulletin.
= A 75-centimeter gun can fire about
400 projectiles a day. Each Of these
projectiles costs approximately Sc.
Counting this and the depreciation Of
the gun, which is particularly rapid,
the daily outlay for it's operation
amounts to $2,7OO. It is estimated that
the 100 75-centimeter cannon in al
army corps. fred all day, cost in mu-
nitions and depreciation $320,OO0. In
addition to this, each army corps has
about forty pieces Of heavy artillery.
Explosives and depreciation for sim
gle days work for them totals $780,
600, making the total artillery expense
Of an army corps $S20,000 a day.
II the outlay In gun metal and pow
der is heavy, it is no more so than the
outlay for materials demanded by the
present necessities Of trench warfare
An officer who has studied this phase
of the present war carefully says that
to put trench In state fit for occu-
patton in winter requires 1,250,OOO
running feet Of by 3 timber, $4,000
running feet Of corrugated iron, $780,
600 sandbags Weighing 1000 tons and
$4,000 standards and pickets to the
mile. In addition to this, 900 miles
of harbed wire has to be used, weigh
ing 40 tons. When one stops to re-
call the hundreds of miles Of trenches
which stretch across Europe in diff
ferent directions and how often Sec
tions Of these trenches have to be re-
built, he can gain some idea Of this
tremendous amount Of material re.
quired In their outfitting.
Another picture Of the vastness Of
the munitioning trade and the i'm
mensity of the task Of keeping the
armies In the field and in fighting con-
dition may be had from the statement
that there are now more than 1000 con-
trOlled munition plants In Great Brit.
ain alone. OF these 10 out Of 20 nev.
er produced war materials before the
war broke out. They employ nearly
100000 men and nearly 10000 won.
en-. The vastness Of the industry In
England is not out Of proportion to
that In France. Although Germany
holds 10 per cent Of Frances coal and
some 80 per cent Of its iron, France
has been able, by the opening UP of
new furnaces and by immense impor'
tations Of ore and pig metal. largely
to overcome this handicap.

spired the following spasm from the
poet of Electrical Mining:
All his life In union shop
He'd daily earned his bread;
They buried him in union grave
When the union man was dead.
He had union doctor,
And he had union nurse,
He had union coffin,
And he had a union hearse.
They put him in union grave,
When he was good and dead;
They put union monument
Just above his heada
And then he went to heaven,
But to stay he didn't care;
He kicked because he said that some
Non-union men were there.
He went down to the other place,
And there produced his card;
Then Satan drew an earnest face
And studied good and hard.
