crate for a moment the suggestion
that beer is less of q social enemy

has appealed to our people. and the
tune shows no sign Of passing into
oblivion.
Many words have been spent In dis
cussing the origin of the title Of this
song, and at least sixteen separate
and distinct derivations Of the words
have been seriously set before the pub
lie. The earliest dated reference to
the tune appears in the 6rst Ameri-
can ballad opera, 1.-THE Disappolnt-
ment," Philadelphia, 1851. It was
played in America as early Sas 1766.
for in the Journal Of Transactions In
Boston. September %, 176S. we read:
1.-The feet was brought to anchor near

was throwing of skyrockets. and those

joicing and that the Yankee Doodle
song was the capital piece in the band
of music"
The earliest appearance In print Of
Yankee Doodle" in Europe has been
traced to James Ards "A Selection Of
Scotch, English, Irish and Foreign

The following suggestion is made
by DR.. r. H. Forbes, dean, College
of Agriculture, U. of A., in letter
regarding rabbit meat as a war time
food: 81 will say that / have just
talked with Mr.. Alfred Donau of Tue
son, who has worked quite bit with
Belgian and New Zealand hares, and
he says that they are very decidedly
a success, raised on a small scale by
those who wish to replace beef and
pork by means of some other meat
supply.
These rabbits will of course eat all
sorts of otherwise waste forage, weeds,
roadside growth of various kinds, etc.,
but their main article of diet should
be dry alfalfa hay which they eat read
lily and which is an excellent growing
ration for the young Mres.
They are ready to kill at two
months of age and will often dress 2
pounds at that age, giving quicker re-
suits than poultry.

MOLYBDENUM IS
ADDED TO LIST
Of RAY PRODUCTS

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 22-Ore re-
ceipts here have been increased by
the beginning of regular shipments of
molybdenum by Robert Boykin from
property he recently purchased in the
Ray district. Operation of the reduc-
ton plant of the Randolph interests
on this metal in the city continues to
be successful and to fill a consider
able requirement in connection with
government needs for all that can be
obotained. Molybdenum is new out
put in shipping quantities from the
Ray district. Vanadium is expected
to be it's next new production, with
preparation for which the United

JONES WINS SUIT
FOR KELVIN HOTEL

Tuesday and Wednesday, at Flor
ence, the superior court was occupied
in hearing the trial of l.. P. Jones,
plaintiff, of Ray, VS.. Joseph Montgom-
cry, defendant, of Kelvin. 1t appears
that Jones had leased the old South
ern hotel at Kelvin from one Wolf
and his wife, the owners, for term
of two years. In the meantime the
VOLTS sold their interest in the hotel
to Montgomery, who moved into same,
claiming that Jones had made default
in payment of his monthly rental.
Jones proved to the satisfaction of
the court that he was not in default
in rental payments, and Judge Baughn
gave him judgment for restitution for
the hotel premises, besides SIS dam
ages and his costs in the case. Attor-
neys Nolan and Richardson represent
ed Jones, and Judge Phillips of Phoe-
nix appeared for Montgomery.

NEW RAILROAD WILL
HELP SOLVE THE
TIMBER PROBLEM

SNOWFLAKE, Ariz., Dec. 22.-The
new railroad building into the timber
country from the Santa Fe main line
will tap Snowflake and probably make
it an important point From the tim
Der country the new railroad will have
vast amount of material to bring
out next year and should be able to
materially relieve conditions in a con-
siderable part of Arizona and New
Mexico. Should the line continue
south to Clifton, it's service in provid-
ing timbers for all of the mines of
Arizona would be great. While much
of the growth is said by mine experts
to be too brittle for some uses, all of
timber grades could be used in some
of the mine work and the supply much
reduces calls upon other parts of the
country for the enormous footage
which the mines bury in their work
ings.

In explanation of those figures Mr
Macarthur said:- "We have used the
allotment basis furnished us by the
government as the quota for each coun
ty. Obviously this figure was not cor
rect in a great many cases as some
counties have secured more names
than their allotment and others we
feel sure, have done better work than
the comparison indicates"
The tabulation of the returns by
states shown that though Arizona Sc
cured but rs per cent of her allotment
of signatures, she stands high in point
of actual results in comparison with
her neighbors and with eastern and
southern states.
Kansas with percentage of go and
Iowa with 81 were the honor states
as to percentage of families enrolled
Arizona secured 81 per cent of the
families as compared to 65 per cent

rado, 26 per cent for Nevada and

COOK AND STE|NKE
GET ALL STUCK UP

R. A. Cook, chief clerk at the Ray
Consolidated offices, and w. H
Steinke, of Hayden, suffered painful
injuries last Tuesday evening when
Mr.. Cooks Dodge roadster left the
straight and narrow way on the Kel-
win road and plunged into grove of
cactus. The cactus penetrated every
part of their bodies, even their hats
being stuck to their heads by the
thorns. They were unable to move.
Passing autoists pulled some of the
cactus thorns from their bodies and
removed them to the hospital at Ray,
where doctors spent most of the night
removing the cactus thorns.
Aside from very sore exterior, the
men are now fully recovered from
their sticky experience.

DEPUTY SHERIFF thurman HERO
Of S|NGLEHANDED BATTLE WITH
THREE S[ACKERS NEAR SASCO
One of Sheriff Halls Depu-
ties Kills One Mexican
Cattle-Thief and Wounds
Two Others in Southern
Pinal County.

FLORENCE, Dec. 20.-While Depu-
ty Sheriff e. Thurman, j. A. McCon-
dra and Ray Woolpvert were out hunt
ing quail upon the Gobea ranch, some
five miles west of Sasco, on Friday
of last week, they ran upon three Mex
leans making jerky out Of a freshly
killed yearling. Thurman Immediately
recognized the men as three slackers
for whom he had been on the lookout,
so went up to them and, after telling
them that they were under arrest, he
proceeded to place the handouts upon
the man closest to him. The bracelet
had just been slipped over one wrist
when the Mexican with his free hand
quickly pulled a As Colts from his
belt and began firing at Thurman
The officer was only armed with his
shotgun, but his first shot knocked the
Mexican down, when the other two
Mexicans pulled revolvers and also be-
gan shooting at him. Thurman took
shot at each of these men and sue
ceeded in hitting them in the front
part of their legs, whereupon they ran
away, leaving their comrade mortally
wounded. This man, whose name
proved to be Juan Chacon, was taken
into the hospital at Sasco and medical
treatment given, but he died at about
o'clock that night.
In the meantime Thurman tele-
phoned Sheriff Hall, and the county
car, containing Driver Carson, Deputy
Sheriffs Gorham and Mason, Court Re-
porter Tucker and County Attorney
Richardson, was soon on the road, ar
irving at Sasco at about IL o'clock.
Here they joined the Sasco posse and,
on learning that the other two Mexi-
cans were still at large on the Gobea
ranch, they Immediately set out for
the ranch. On arrival, they noticed a
large fire burning in the field, but this
fire was soon extinguished, for the
Mexicans had noted the arrival Of the
posse car The posse set out under
command of Deputy Thurman, with
nothing but the light of the stars to
guide them, but soon succeeded in
surrounding their quarry, who sur
rendered without fight. These men
were found to be suffering from the
cold and severe gunshot wounds in
their legs, so they were hurried back
to the hospital at Sasco and every
thing done to alleviate their suffer
ings.
Saturday the men were arraigned in
the justice court at Sasco before Hon.
Joe Willett, justice of the peace, and
on being charged with the attempted
murder Of Deputy Thurman, they
waived their examination and we're
held to answer to the January term
of the superior court. The men gave
their names as Eusibio Corral and
Francisco Telles, and said their homes
were in Mexico; that they had roped Il
yearling running on the range, killed
and eaten part of it because they were
hungry, but denied that they had taken
part with their friend, Chacon, in
shooting at the officer. Both men are
now lodged in the county hospital at
Florence.
