fortune last week to get shoulder
pretty badly bumped from "a falling

Special Correspondence to the
 Eohave County Miner

Mrs. Jeff Bland ,who has been very i'll for the past two weeks with the grippe is now able to be up and around.
 Last Saturday while out looking for a horse, MT. Jeff Bland found a man at Rupees well in a dying condition from lack of water. The man not knowing how to start the pump, quenched his thirst with gasoline which he had found in a small can.
 After a few cupsfull of water the man revived. He had been on the road from Congress Junction all day Friday and Friday night. Not find ing any water along the road he took one of the COW trails thinking he would find water. When near the we'll, and with it in sight he had be- come so weak, he had stumbled time and again but the hopes of getting water, goaded him on. Leaving the man at the we'll, with a little water. MT. Bland came back for aid to bring the man to Signal.
 Mr. L. Beach who has been trapp- ing up and down the Sandy, brought a fine lot of furs to Signal last Mon- day.
 The infant son of MT. and Mrs. Pa dilla, succumbed to the whooping cough and was buried Sunday.
 The Influenza has not made it's ap- pearance at Signal.

MAKE FINAL PAYMENTS
 ON YOUR LIBERTY BONDS

Do not fail to complete your Liberty Bond payments is the appeal of Secre- tary of the Treasury William G. Mo Adoo, as sent to Twelfth Federal Re- serve District Liberty Loan headquar- ters.
 Following is the secretary's appeal:
 Many employers throughout the country have rendered most patriotic assistance in the distribution of Liber- ty Loan bonds to their employees and have assisted them in the purchase of these bonds by arranging that pay ments may be made in installments covering a period of rllne longer than that which could be granted by the Treasury Department.
 "It is the duty of the subscribers to bonds on these partial-payment plans to complete the contract into which they have entered. If they do not do so, both they and the Government suf- fer, asI the bonds for which they have contracted and for which they do not pay in full must usually be sold in the open market.
 "1t is, of course, recognized that in case of necessity caused by sickness or other unavoidable circumstances, can cellations of subscriptions or sales of bonds are warranted. In cases where employees have made arrangements to purchase these bonds on install ment plans and then sever their con- nection with the employer with whom they have made subscriptions, arran- gements should be made for the com pletion of the subscription or for hav- ing the subscription taken over the new employer or by bank in the community where the subscriber re- sides, thus avoiding the necessity for sale of the bonds covered by the sub scription."

 TOLOGISTS,

Some scientific gentlemen, who bear the nomeclature of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists, have just held a meet ing in New York City to learn of a great lizard that was recently found in Borneo which is said to have been sixteen feet in length It is a flesh eating animal and one of the largest ever known in the animal world. The gentlemen probably had to use a good sized saurian to attach a portion of their scientific name to without run ming out of material.

Seringes Taken Five Times.

Almost the same story tells the
fighting yesterday, for Seringes,
only the battle was not so fierce
and the village changed hands
five times instead Of nine.
That this fighting as entirely
different from rear guard actions
last week one only has to con
slider the hurrying Of the guard
divisions of shock troops into
line and the infantry counter at
'tacks, whereas past Xix days we
had machine gun opposition al
most exclusively.
The truth of the matter is the
Germans want to hold their line
con the north Of the 'Ourcq for
some days. Sergy and Seringes
are two strong villages on series
Of hills running along the north
Jf the Ourcq, and evidence taken
from prisoners showed the Amer
leans were,supposed to have been
held ON the southern bank Of the
Stream.

Proclaim Liberty throughout ALI.

These words were written about
1880 years before Christ, as part of
the Law OF Holiness in the Book Of
Levitlcus. Our fathers inscribed them
upon the Liberty Bell which called our
mighty nation into life.
To-day all the inhabitants' enjoy
liberty. the Jew and the Gentle. the
rich and the poor, the native and the
alen-born, the weak and the strong.

but Liberty is not safe. It is men.

America requires q new motto for her

out ALL LANDS unto all the inhab-

In all lands, 1t can not be safe. In our
own. Hence the task to which Amer.

1.-The Fathers OF this Republic. men
OF many races, with Z common love Of
liberty, wrought into law cur ancient
motto, thus giving liberty a chance to
enlighten the world.
To-day we, their descendants, are
called upon to make real the new
motto, and thus to give liberty the
undisputed right to bless the world.
This can be done but only after
heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A
peace would mean failure
1t would be only less disastrous than
complete defeat. Against all tempts-
lions to compromise the women Of

Prussians and when the artillery
fire stopped back went the Amer
leans. Again we drove them
out.
No sooner had we got into the
village when back came the Prus-
SLAMS. German airplanes rendered
their men great aid, sweeping
down close to the ground and rak-
ing our lines with machine guns.
They also used bombs against us.
Neither side would throw gas into
Sergy for fear of putting their
own troops ont of action.
The fighting went back and

| The great need just now is for

to us exceed the supply. There
seem to be enough sweaters at
present, $50 l beg Of all our com
pnittees to devote themselves as
far as possible to knitting socks.
In the last two weeks quite a
nDmber of requests have come for
soft cotton socks and l suggest
that they. too, be knitted. On
account of fhe shortness Of wnal,
the legs of all socks may be made
of heavy cotton, only the feet be-
ing wool.
The question Of yarn will short
ly be a difficult one and | advise
you to lay in what supply you can
as soon as possible. All the raw
wool has been commandeered by
the government. The nanufac-
turers are still at liberty to sell
what finished stock they have in
hand. When that is gone we can
get no more as long as the short
age continues. / am told that !
with plenty Of ships the South
American and Austrian wool will |
be available. Until then we must
depend on our own supply. With
q new draft being called and the
autumn advancing, we will have
many demands for warm cloths
and hope our committees will
continue their good work.
