CARPENTERS FIRST CLASS MEN

CARPENTERS FTKST GLASS MEN
Bishop Cowell in his Dogden News
says:
Charley Kapelovitz's brother is the
contractor that is building his house
on the farm. That is the first time we
ever saw a Jew that was a carpenter.
In the new testament we read that
Joseph and his son, Jesus, were car
penters. It's generally first-class men
that you find in the carpenter business
Mr.. Kapelovitz is not feshy like his
brother Charles. He is a muscular,
powerfully built man. The occupa-
ton seems to agree with him and he
must be made of stern stuff to build
houses in this kind of weather.

LEMONS ARE RAISED
 IN YAVAPAI COUNTY

Lemons grown at Castle Hot Springs, in the southern part of this county, now on exhibition at the store of E. A. Kastner & Co.,, in this city, excite admiration for their un- usual size, and occasion surprise that such a tropical product should be so successfully propagated in the shad- ows of the snowclad Bradshaws, less than ten miles away.
 But the goods are striking evidence and the disputatious may see and judge for themselves. This yellow fruit is of massive size, and its lus- cious nature equals, if not exceeds, any belt where this article is boast fully heralded as supreme through the environment of a sun-kissed realm.
 Castle Creek, through this adapta- tion of it's matchless climate, can now wheel into line as tropical paradise, and the only distasteful feature of its famed juice is that the flavor cannot be mingled with "the cup that cheers" Prescott Journal Miner.

PRO- IS PUT

Charles Torner, subject of the German empire, who was arrested in this city on July 18th of last year after he had made pro-German dem- onstration, cursed the American flag and government and in other ways showed his hatred of America, was taken to Fl Paso last week by Dep uty Sheriff Murphy.
 Torner was put in the detention camp with a number of other enemies of this country and will later be taken to another camp for informed alien enemies in Utah.

INDIAN IS KILLED
 BY INDIAN TRADER

A Mexican Indian trader who runs a trading store two miles west of Lupton, Arizona, shot and killed an Indian Monday afternoon at his store. The Indian, recent graduate of the Riverside School, of California, came to the store to make some purchases. It is said that an argument arose over a sale of 50 cents worth of sugar. The Indian boy was shot through the ab- domen and died the following day.
 Word of the shooting was sent to Agent Paquette at Fort Defiance, and he hurried to Gallup in his auto and took Dr. Laffin with him to the scene of the shooting, but the boy had been dead two or three hours before they arrived there. The trader was ar- rested and taken to Holbrook for a hearing. It is understood that the trader claims he shot in self-defense. Gallup Independent.

ARIZONA TROOPS PICK
 THEDA BARA AS GODMOTHER

Characteristic of the Arizona spirit of fire and enthusiasm, the 158th in fantry regiment of the National army made up of Arizona national guards men and draft recruits, has chosen Theda Bara as their godmother, ac- cording to telegram to the Dispatch from Sergeant Major Chet Johnson, former we'll known Douglas and Bis bee newspaper man, now stationed at Camp Kearney, Cal.
 The Arizona soldiers have been con- sidered one of the most enthusiastic military units both at Camp Funston and Camp Kearney, which probably accounts for their selection of a screen prima donna as godmother. Miss Bara is considered one of the most striking figures of the silent drama, being noted for her beauty, vigor and enthusiasm.
 The telegram from Sergeant Major Johnson was as follows:
 "Theda Bara was unanimously chos- en godmother of the 15Sth infantry today. When advised by telegram of her selection, Miss Bara wired from her home in Hollywood, Cal: I ac- cept this honor with the greatest of pleasure and a thrill of pride This regiment is making arrangements for an elaborate celebration in Miss Bara's honor when she visits the Arizona boys camp."-Douglas Dispatch.

Today is July Court Day in Mason
county and it is expected that there
will be a large number of farmers
gather here for the day to transact
business and to talk over the condi-
tons of crops in all parts of the
county. The most of the tobacco set
ting is now out of the way and the
ground is just little too damp to do
any great amount of work on the
farm so that this will permit them to
come to the city in good numbers.
The Maysville Chautauqua is also
on in full force and it is expected that
large number of them will take in
the ChautauQua for The day. The pro-
gram for today will be especially at
tractive to the farmers. Dunbars
ROYAL Dragons will furnish music
on todays program. The afternoons
program will be a patriotic one and
tonight Colonel George w. Balm. of
Lexington, the dean of American or
ators, will be the chief attraction,
Colonel Balm will give his famous lee
ture, "If | Could Live Life Over 1t
will be well worth hearing.
1t is expected that there will he n
good lot of cattle in the stock yards
and there is every indication that
prices will remain high and the de-
nand for stock keen.

AGENTS CHOSEN TO
ORGANIZE TEACHERS
Mason County School Teachers Will
Interest Instructors in Other
Counties in Campaign Against
Illiteracy.

County agents were appointed last
week at Frankfort to organize the
rural school teachers to instruct 50,-
600 illiterates in Kentucky to read
and write this summer.
Among the other agents appointed
were three school teachers from Ma
son county. Miss Eleanor p. Wal
lace, of this city, has been chosen in
structor for Greenup county, Miss
Mary Robert Lloyd, Logan county ana
Miss Susan Simrall, Lee county.
While the reports show that there
are approximately 200 illiterates in
Mason county, no arrangements have
been made to appoint an instructor
for this county. Superintendent Tur-
nipseed made no application for an
instructor for Mason county for he
feels that the teachers here will take
the work upon themselves and do ii
well without an instructor. They have
been engaged in this sort of work for
some time. Ever since the first moon
light schools were organized in Ken
lucky the Mason county teachers have
had a big part in reducing illiteracy
in Kentucky and they will do their
full part this summer.
No definite arrangements have
J been made as yet for this summers
campaign but the teachers will soon
get together and adopt plan suited
to the work in this county. Already
through their efforts the number OF
| illiterates have been reduced consid-
erably in Mason county.
