SOME PEOPLE WHO
 ARE PLEASED OVER
 THE DRY WEATHER
(From Thursdays psily)

Frank Warning, who IS in the city from his mining camp in Lower Has sayampa district to procure a powder license. stated yesterday it IS surpris- ing to see so many dry washing ma chimes working. principally by Mexi- cans. The absence of rain makes this mining pursuit a favorite one, soil conditions being the best known foi many years. The last rain occurred in July. and cattle interests are in bad shape. Its an i'll wind that blows nobody good he said, and the. long drouth is making the dry placer miner chucklc over having his day ar rive. No big cleanups are known. and only fine dust has been recovered One Mexican is working his dry washer whose age is over 80 years.

which no private abstracter could enter to reap the benefits of his hon est and deserving efforts.
 Things have since changed ana thereby was history made for this Association that has not been here tofore published:
 During the latter part of the year 1911, I wrote to the Hon. John T. Kenny of Madison, Wisconsin, as the chairman of the judiciary committed of the American Association of Title men. laying before him the existing conditions with their objectionable results and asking for the cooperation of his committee, as well as that of the Association, in securing a suit able remedy X hearty response was given with the offer of the entire resources of the Association. Letters were sent to a number of the leading title concerns in all the States where mining properties of any importance existed, with request for information on loc II conditions. and 1t was found that conditions from which relief was sought existed throughout the states of Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Montana, Colorado, California and arizona A request was then sent to practically every title firm and ab- stracter in each of these States ask ing for cooperation to secure modi- fication of the rulings of the honor able commissioner of the general land office on the matter of abstracts accompanying applications for miner al patents.
 Meanwhile Mir. Kenny and his committee had not rested. but had the matter already under considera- ton with the proper officials.
 A large number of valuable replies were received from all sections of the above States, many of them ex- pressing strong opinion and decided ideas. These were all placed in the hands of Mir. Kenny to be submitted to the honorable commissioner. but were not needed as the record shows that earlier. on January 9, 1912, Cir cular No. 6S had been issued grant ing all the relief asked for. This circular has not been modified or an nulled to this date.
 The title fraternity throughout these States is now well aware that the provisions of Circular. No. 6S has opened up a new field of business for its members, but it was not known why or how this was brought about They arc now to know that this was accomplished by the efforts of the American Association of Titlemcn.
 This achievement speaks for the power of the Association when ap- piled to a given point. also of the forceful character of the men en- trusted with the administration of its affairs. (Applause)

MEN LISTED FOR
 FAILURE TO ANSWER
(From Sundays Daily)

The local exemption board yester- day afternoon listed the names of 3S men who have SO far failed to return their questionnaires within the. re quired period, the laggards having thus subjected themselves to arrest as deserters. The names of the 3S are now in the hands of the officers, the latter having instructions to ar rest them upon sight.
 Since the questiOnnaires have be- gun to come back to the board, the fact is revealed that the average American of draft age is quite at sea when it comes to giving an intelligent answer to the numerous questions contained in the questionnaire. Very few of the blanks are coming back correctly filled out just as they should be, and great many of them are not returned until after an additional time has been granted by the board to allow the registrant to file his ques- tionnaire While there IS nothing particularly deep about the questions asked, it seems that the majority of the men could not answer them cor rectly, even with the help of the mem- bers of the advisory board, and it is expected that the draft authorities will have to overlook a whole lot of transformation which is contained in the questionnaires. How ever, the spirit of the draftees is ap- parently all right, for with few ex- captions no one IS making any parti- cular kick at having to disclose his life history and the financial circum stances surrounding his daily activit- ies, and all are making an honest ef- fort to supply Uncle Sam with all oi the information which he is seeking. The great majority of the cases of delinquency comes from illiteratc- foreigners, principally Mexicans, who apparently do not realize that the war department meant business winch it directed the draftees to answer the list of questions.
 The list of delinquents issued by the board yesterday Is as follows:
 Timothy L. Archer, Flagstaff. . Luga Karich, Jerome. Pablo Banucla, Clarkdalc.

MSS SHIELDS AT ARMORY.
Girls Protective Worker" Sets A.
ternOOn Hours for Official
Business.

Miss Permclia Shields, Deming rep
resentative of the committee on pro-
iective work with girls, under the war
department commission OF training
camp activities, has established her
office at the armory, where she will
be glad 10 receive between the hours
of p. m. and 3 p. m. all those in need
of her assistance or interested in her
work.
The problem created by the pres,
ence of young girls in the neighbOr-
hood Of training camps has proved
so great, according TO Miss Shields,
that protective Officers have been APP
pointed in every community adjacent
to military camp to handle the
many Informative questions associat-
ed with Delinquency. The national
committee fostering this work is I'M
der The craftsmanship of Mrs. Jane
l)eetcr Rippin, and consists of Mrs.
Martha Z. Falconer of Philadelphia,
Mrs. John d. Rockefeller, Jr., of New
York, Mrs. james Cushman of New
York and Mrs. William Dummer of
Chicago.
Protective work plans TO make II
survey Of conditions in cities near
which camps are located; 10 secure
increased facilities for the care and
protection of girls; supervise amuse-
ment places inspect public buildings,
particularly those giving employment
20 women; influence the passage Of
needfdi legislation; aid in law en-
forcement; and strives to impress a
community with the fact that its So
cial and civic activities need constant
scrutiny in The interests of its young
women and men. The protective Off
Ger does not assume responsibility
for the things that ought to be done,
but hopes to have them undertaken by
local groups. The intention Of pro-
tcctive work is not merely to fiji a
war emergency, but TO promote the
intelligent handling Of girls by every
agency coming in contact with them
so that this policy may be incorpor-
ated into the thinking and permanent
practice Of every community.

MS BACK TO the
WALL HELP HIMI.

Today Uncle Sans boys are
on the fighting line right in
the midst Of the blood and car
mage. At this moment good
American youths are facing>the
power-crazed German hordes.
Perhaps today q score Of our
brave lads were killed or wound
ed. Hundreds we know are
facing privations and suffering.
Shall we at home limit our in
terest to pity for them? No
they do not ask or want 1t. The
boys in khaki have gone to
their task willingly, most of
them enthusiastically. Many Of
them are volunteers; all Of
them awaited the call with
a ready spirit. The American
soldier realizes he is doing a
stern duty, and he does 1t with
a will, as he does everything
else. When his sense of duty
drives him to extra effort, and
inspires him to supreme cOur-
age, he doesn't give his bit. HE
GIVES ALL.
The American soldier, like all
red-blOeded Americans, hates a
traitor, pities a coward, and de-
spises a Stacker. OF all our
troops now in France, and the
milliOns that are to follow,
there will be no towards or
slackers. From the reports Of
Gen. Pershing we have yet to
learn from "Over there" Of the
first deliberate Stacker. And
now, with all these things in
view, it is unthinkable that we,
with every energy and every
dollar at our command, shall
even for q moment hesi-
tate to back the brave boys,
many Of them personally known
to us, to the extreme limit.
Liberty and freedom gave as
the opportunity to be prosper
GUS and comfortable, and now
with our boys at the trent, CIV
ing their all to preserve to Us
these privileges, In the name Of
reason, shall we hesitate to
back them, not with a few dol
lars, given grudgingly, but with
cur financial lNelblOOd, if neces-
sary? Don't stop to argue and
debate about the causes of the
war, and how we might have
stayed out Of it, and listen to
pacifsts, but look the grim
truth in the face: THERE is
A MAD DOG RUNNING
AMUCK, AND 1T MUST BE
KILLED. This rabies-infected
animal is biting only your
neighbOr and his children at
present, but it can be here in a
week. IF WE FAIL, 1T WILL
TAKE THE GERMAN FLEET
BUT ONE WEEK TO REACH
THESE SHORES.

THE SOLDIER s CHANCES.

The following statements are
from Government Department
sources; being taken from bui-
letin issued from The Bureau Of
Publicity, Washington, D. c.
Great as the danger and large
as the losses in the aggregate, the
individual soldier has plenty of
chances of coming out of the war
unscathed, or at least not badly
injured.
Based on the mortality statistics
of the allied armies. a soldier 5
chances are as follows:
Twenty nine chances of coming
home to one chance of being
killed.
Forty-hine chances of recover
ing from wounds to one chance
of dying from them.
One chance in 500 of losing a
limb.
Will live FIVE years longer be-
cause Of physical training, is freer
from disease in the Army than in
civil life and has better medical
care at the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to | from bull
lets; in this war | man dies from
disease to every 10 from bullets.
\ For those of our fighting men
who do not escape scatheless, the
Government under the soldier and
sailor insurance law gives pro-
lection to the wounded and their
dependents. and to the families
and dependents Of those who make
the supreme sacrifice for their
nnnntrv.

dealers other than to consumers
must be candled, and an egg

does not furnish the certificates,

sizes the doctrine Of making every

atty of others. The United States
Food Administration has started
in the new crop -four program
with established definite fair pri-
ces at every mill point in the Uni
ted States, The cost of packages
and transportation in added to
the fixed price in order to calcu-
late actual cost, and there are diff
erentials on bulk. A jobber is re-
quired to sell at not more than
twenty-five to fifty cents over de-
livered cost to him, and the re
taller at not more than one dollar
twenty cents over the price he
paid. Each mill invoice must
have printed on it the so called
fair prices. making it very easy
for the food officials or any buy
ers to detect overcharges. The
fair prices for carload lots at New
Orleans, as the milling point, are
$1O.16 for -four, 1926 for bran.
1851 for mixed feed, and $29.25
for middlings. shorts, and he'd
Dog. After handling costs are
added it is said that the price Of
bour will be about one dollar a
barrel below that Of year ago.
The zone conference devoted
considerable attention to cotton
and cotton seed. The rate for
public ginning was established at
3Oc per hundred pounds for short
staple, and 35c for long staple,
running an inch and 3-l6 and
better, with the further provision
that the ginner must run over his
roll and gin more slowly. The
sterilization of cottonseed values
was left to Washington. the adj
illustrators sending on their rec
concentrations in company with
many others. A comprehensive
set Of uniform regulations gov
erning the cottonseed industry are
expected in a short time, and the
industry is likely to become such
an extensive and important
branch of the food administration
work that Mr.. Parker has created
seperate division to handle it.
This will make about dozen d.
visions in action, and has in
creased the force and affairs to
such an extent that after October
| 1, the Food Administration will
occupy very nearly two entire
floors of the Canal Bank Annex.
There are numerous inquities
regarding the new regulations
governing dealers in eggs. Brief
ly these provide that retail mer-
chants, whether they buy from
or trade with the farmers, sell
eggs wholesale or resell to per-
sons other than consumers, are
subject to license. Applications
for license should be made at
once to the License Division. ..
