YOU GAN 60 CAMPING
 IN AUTO NOW, HE SAYS

Perhaps it was John Burroughs or Rudyard Kipling, perhaps it was FL bert Hubbard who spoke of getting where one could 'hear the heart of nature beat" as the ideal place to spend vacation.
 Whoever said it was mighty wise nan.
 Formerly the getting back" meant discomfort. But now the up-to-date nature hunter goes in his car.
 G. R. Franklin, Studebaaker dealer, tells how to do it.
 "A Studebaker car," he says,- "can be made up just like any Pullman.
 ''The rear seat is AS inches wide, just a little narrower than the regu- lation double bed. Lift up the re- movable front seats, turn them around so that their backs are to the front, pull the back cushion forward and drop it down in the tonneau and you have an ideal bed foundation. Then a blanket or two and pillows are all you need to make two people thoroughly comfortable.

Crowds Attend a
 Free Dance; Stay Home For Dollar

Kingman people showed themsel- yes to be poor sports Tuesday night when a small crowd attended the ben eft dance given at the Open Air pay ilion for the Kingman baseball club. The night before so many people at tended the free dance given by the Central Commercial company at the same place that all could not be &C., commodated on the floor at one time. Tuesday night there were 39 tickets sold a5 S1 apiece. Several persons were heard to severely criticise the people of the town for their apparent lack of appreciation, many being will ling to have a good time so long as it was free, but who hesitated about all lowing themselves the enjoyment of an evening when it cost something.

WOMEN ASKED ID GIVE
 BOOKS ID SOLDIERS

Mrs. Pauline NJ. O'Neill of the State
 Council of Defense is asking each of her county chairman to become active in the campaign to furnish the enlist ed men at Douglas, Naco and Nogales with wholesome books. The chairman of each county is given a certain num- Der of books to provide which are sent to the State Council of Defense in Phoenix. The name of the giver is to be written in the book in order that proper acknowledgement may be made of its receipt. At the head quarters of the council of defense printed slips will be placed in the books identifying them with the vol mteer movement on the part of the women of the state to furnish librar- ies for the ten thousand enlisted men on the Arizona border.
 According to the instruction which Mrs. O'NeiIl is sending out to her county chairman the books must be gathered by certain date, and she suggests that each county chairman call for volunteers among the ladies to assist in gathering the books. Ship ments will not be made until the com plete quota for each county is in the hands of the chairman. They will then be sent to the State council where they will be prepared for ship ment to the border.
 In conjunction with this movement, all persons are asked tc place pest age on the covers of their magazine and address them to the enlisted mems club at Douglas, Naco or No- gales.

''THICK-HEADED" IS
 MEANING 'BOCHE"

The term 'Boche," as applied to the German soldiers, isn't a compliment tary one, nor anything new. It is an old term in France, and means thick headed" It is about equivalent to our American term of "bonehead."
 In fact, the word comes from the Italian "boccia", and means "a round ball of exceptionally hard wood used in playing ten pins." But just how it came to be applied to the German sol- dier we do not know.
 As a general rule, nicknames given to soldiers are not unkindly. The French soldier is called 'poilu," which means hairy, because in the early French wars the soldiers had no op- portunity to shave, or have their hair cut, and when they returned from the army they had a rough, hairy, un- couth appearance. But there was nothing unkindly in calling them ''poilu."
 The English are called 'Tommies" because of a fictitious popular British soldier made immortal in verse and given the name ''Tommy Atkins" During our Civil War the union troops were called 'Yanks" as an abbrevia- ton of the word Yankee" and the Confederates were called Johnny Rebs," from Rebel" But never was there bitterness or carcasm in the terms.
 But now we have the German sol diers generally called 'Boches," or 'Boneheads," and certainly not as term of endearment. The appellation ''Hun" which one sees in print ire quently, also is a term of reproach, and means that the Germans present warfare and tactics savor of the bar parity of the Huns, who, under At tilla, came near overrunning Europe and destroying civilization. There were many of the Huns left in the region that has since become Ger many, but the German people, as a people are not descendants of the Huns.

CLAIM OWNERS WARNED
 TO SECURE PATENTS

The U. s. Mining Bureau has re- gently issued a warning and an ad- monition to owners of mining claims all ever the country, urging them to perfect a patent for their ground as speedily as conditions warrant such a procedure.
 This warming is most timely, es- pecially during these troublous times, Instances are common where valuable mining property has been lost to the rightful owners through failure to se- cure a patent, depending on holding it by assessment work and by relo- cation.
 Many producing properties have passed out of the hands of owners woh might just as well have held ownership indefinitely if they had taken the trouble and expense to se- cure a U. s. Patent.

TRAINED FISH WON'T

According to word brought back from the White mountains, the fish in that country certainly are well trained. J. D.

He says the natives in that section have trained the fish not to bite at a new comer's bait, and as a result he was unable to fill all the orders for fish from Kingman people. Despite the handicap, he insists he caught several carloads and is taking up with the

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out polsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat we'll, digest well, work we'll, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stag nant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or we'll, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour lamentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly ex- tracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of, all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexiOns are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation

 T ne simple and sure remedy for such trouble is to supply a new valve inside which can be accomplished cas- fly and quickly thus remedying the entire cause.

 on Harvey Annex

Work is progressing rapidly on the new Harvey House dining room. A force of men has been busy the past week on foundation work and pre- pairing to connectthe old building with the new structure. The new dining room will be 25 feet wide and extend the entire length of the old building. The addition of a dining room should serve a long felt need and greatly fa- cilitate the handling of large numbers of passengers and accommodating the home people. The new dining room probably will not be completed until late in the fall.

 The first thing "Mac" heard when he got back was 'Where are my fish 2" All he could say was that he had sent them, and if the railroad failed to deliver them, that was the ether fellows business. "Mac" says next year he's going to take along special brand of fish food that the fish can't resist. Some of his friends say he's already soliciting orders for next years catch.
 Anyway, those fish had a close shave" from being snared, "Mac" says.

WALKOVER PROPERTY
 AGAIN LOOKING GOOD

J. D. Loper and Walter DeLiere, of the Wright Creek section, were King man visitors this week, coming here to look after important mining business Mir. DeLiere is the owner with L. w. Johnson of a big group of copper mines near the Copper Giant, while Mir. Loper is one of the owners of the Walkover.
 The Walkover property was recent ly incorporated, the owners believing that in this way it could be more read fly financed. So far the necessary funds are available to drive the main shaft to a depth of approximately 500 feet. The shaft so far has been sunk in the vein to a depth of 800 feet, good ore being found to that depth.
 The ore carries high values in gold, copper coming in at the lower depth, with the gold value continuing. The mine is equipped with hoist and com pressor capable of going to a depth of at least loco feet. Mir. Loper and partners have done large amount of work on the mine and have opened stopes of exceptionally high grade ore. Shipments have been made to the smelter, the returns being of suf- ficient volumne to pay for all devel- opment. With a milling plant on the property the free gold could be extracted on the ground and the cop per brought up to a valuable ship ping grade.

HUNDREDS ATTEND
 FORMAL OPENING
 OF BIG NEW STORE

Several hundred persons attended the formal opening of the Central Commercial company's new building last Monday afternoon and evening. The store was thrown open for bus mess Monday morning and through out the day the people of Kingman and the various mining camps of the county visited the store, where they found one of the most complete and up-to-date lines of goods in northwest Arizona.
 The ladies were given handsome bouquets of carnations and everybody was shown through the building. Promptly at 8 o'clock in the afternoon the I. S. McVea colored orchestra of Los Angeles began the concert. All the latest popular songs were played, and one of the members of the quar- tette sang several numbers. As the orchestra continued the program, the crowd grew until by ' o'clock in the evening the store was jammed witha crowd of. good natured people. Per haps never before were so many peo- pie gathered under one roof in King man. Everybody seemed interested in the new store and expressed their admiration of the undertaking.
 The concert proceeded until g o'clock, when the orchestra repaired to the Open Air pavilion where every body who could crowd onto the floor danced until well after midnight.

SLOW LEAK Is CAUSE
 OF VERY MUCH GRIEF

The automobile tourist who insists upon travelling in absolute comfort, invariably carries in his car a more or less complete kit of repairing equipment with which his tires and tubes may be fixed up in time of emergency.
 A box of patches, a blowout boot and few valve insides do not occupy a great deal of space, but there are occasionally times when they prove of immense value.
 In discussing this point the service manager of the Fisk Rubber company points out a way in which a motorist
