LIBERTY RALLY Is GREATEST
 OF SUCCESSES

The grand rally of last Saturday has now gone into history and with it has gone the fact that never before has Kjngman succeeded better in the accomplishment of it's purpose, for ev- cry mothers son and daughter not only enjoyed the day, but went and bought themselves Liberty Bonds.
 As per schedule the parade under the marshalship of G. R. Franklin started from the court house at 9:3O a. m., proceeding down Fourth street, thence down Front to Third, back on Front to Fifth and returning to Fourth and back to the place of begin ming. The parade was one of the most complete and largest that Kingman has ever been called upon to witness.
 Following came the speaking at EIks' hall, Judge Paul c. Trorne pre- siding, who introduced the speaker of the day, Judge A. s. Hawkins, who made one of the most stirring ad- dresses that we have in recent years, and it is a noteworthy fact that fol- lowing his remarks at the close of the meeting nearly all present availed themselves of an opportunity to sub scribe for Liberty Bond. In support of the ardent manner in which Judge Hawkins appealed to the people, we will quote one of the prominent citi- zens of Oatman, at which place he spoke Saturday evening. He said ''that if Judge Hawkins would make one more speech at Oatman, he believ- ed that he could double the amount of the Liberty Loan subscription" Such was this mans opinion of Judge Flaw kins and we are certain that it is the opinion of all of the people of this section who were fortunate enough to hear him.
 Many well rendered songs by the Liberty Quartette and Mrs. E. w. Mat toon made the program more enjoyable for their addition.
 After dinner at the local ball grounds childIen's sports were indulg- ed in, prizes of Thrift Stamps being given to the winners This was fol- lowed by the Was-Hasers-Has-Was- CTS ball game, which was a most com plete success, with the exception we might say of the many sore spots upon the persons of some of the players, who were not regulars at this sport The game netted $50 to the Red Cross,
 In the evening many Terpsichorean indulgers appeared at the Elks' hall where the hours until midnight were given to this pleasure. The profits o1 the dance amounting to S103 net, were turned over to the Red Cross.
 Music throughout the day was fur nished by the Needles Mohaye Indian band under the leadership of Albert Eller, and was one of the most pleas ing of the program.
 Many carloads of Kingmanites visit ed Oatman this same evening to assis in tbeir rally at that place, returning home late.
 All in all, throughout the county the "booster" meetings were successes to the fullest meaning of the word ant we will prophecy that with such peo ple as this county boasts, in their pres ent frame of mind, this success vii continue to the very last hour of tn last day of the loan.

NEEDLES GOES DRY

The wet and dry election at Needles last Monday resulted in that town be- ing voted dry. The proposition closes all saloons in the town on the 31st day of December, 1918. The vets did not try to prevent the carrying of the election by the drys, but the vote was rather close, at that. The majority favoring dry was 79 out of total vote of 500. The drys made a consistent campaign, using much newspaper space for propaganda work.

In its entirety, however we give a

A fine program was rendered by the

sold, including fancy work. sheep hens,
dishes grain Of different kinds canary
birds, bride reins, many of which were
given back and sold and sold again
Four hens brought $120. and the ar
ticles sold and the donations amounted
to S1,550.00, one person making the
Red Cross present of $500. Notabie
among the large number present was
the fact that those able TO do so con-
tributed in most general manner.

Guy Kimbrough, in Atte mpt-

Life.
BODYNOTRECOVERED
Accident Occurred Last Fri
day while on Way to
Higgins.

Guy Kimbrough, aged about "a years
was drowned last Friday afternoon at
4 O'Clock at Shorts Bar on the Salmon
while attempting to ford the river to
go to higgins to attend a Red Gross
benefit.
The accident was witnessed by a
number Of parties and an attempt was
made to get rope to the drowning
man without avail. From the informa-
tion received it appears that Mr.. Kim
brough rode his horse into the ford
that has been In use for a number Of
years, but on account of the high
water the horse fioundered In mid
stream. Mr.. Kimbrough dismounted
on the upper side from the horse and
1t is thought he was kicked and injur-
ed so he was prevented from reach
ing the shore. The river was dragged
the same evening but up to the pres
ent time the body has not been recov-
cred.
1t is reported here that Mr., Kim
brough was married a short time ago.
An uncle, with whom he was engaged
in the sheep business also survives
him
The Kimbroughs last year purchas-
ed the interests of G. M. Clay and are
classed among the more extensive
sheep raisers Of that section.

PROBABLY NO FARM AGENT

Members Of the executive committee
of the Idaho County Farm Bureau ap-
peared before the board of county
commissioners this week to solicit their
assistance In the employment of a
farm agent for this county. The mat
ter was given very thorough discus
sion and taken under advisement by
the board, it being the opinion Of the
commissioners that the county would
hardly secure full value for the money
expended this year on account Of the
lateness of the season. The feeling
prevails that the question should be
put up to the voters at the coming cleo
ion.
