OCT. 5, WOMEN
 WAR WORK DAY.

Secretary McAdoo has designated October 5 as Women in War Work day. He says:
 Millions of women in the United States are engaged in war work, Seven hundred thousand serve as ac- tive workers in the organization of the National Woman's Liberty Loan con- mittees. Seventy thousand women are employed on the railroads. Hundreds of thousands of women are laborinp in the munition factories. Other hun dreds of thousands serve, in clerical work directly related to the war. As many more are engaged in the Red Cross and other activities for the amelioration of war conditions.
 "The women of America are doing their share in the winning of the war, both by actual work and by the tre- mendous force of their moral in- fluence. It is fitting that their service should be memorialized, and Saturday, October 5, has been designated for observation in the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign as "Women in War Work Day."

WRITES FROM
 ENGLAND

England August 8. 191e Dear Sister and Family:
 Will try and write you a few lines but don't hardly know what to say as we can not tell what we are doing or where we are. Have been put into a squadron and will likely be in this some time perhaps till the war is over. l am sure glad of it, as I was sure tired of being transferred from one place to another and never getting any place. As soon as I would get ac- quainted with one bunch, I would be put into some other outfit ana have to start getting acquainted all over again. This is British camp b, there is our squadron here that are all American boys.
 The country is the prettiest that ever saw. Have nice green trees on all the roads and the roads are all paved and in fine shape. Very nearly everybody rides bicycle, but there are very few autos. More Fords than anything else, and thev har-o truck that runs by steam and burns coal, and looks something like a small To- comotive. Looks funny to us yanks and the railroad trains look more like toys than they do real trains. Where the road crosses a track it either goes over or under as they never cross over rails as they do in the U. s. We'll there is nothing more to write about so w.! close.
 Your Bud,

IN SAMPLES OF
 MANGANESE FROM TOPOCk

John Barry, who has been visiting in the northwest, returned to King man early this week. He came in by way of Los Angeles and Oatman. At Oatman he was given samples of mag enese, which two young men had dis covered near Topock. The ore is quite rich and if the body is found to be substantial it will attract attention of the government. At the present time Maganese is much:y wanted metal and g,cd prices are being paid for it.

According to this letter she had just received a letter from Jim in which he stated that he had just returned to rest billets after turn at the front and part of the time servel included three days without food and a dose of Ger man gas.
 He is getting along good at the time of writing, however, through it all.

BERT J. COFFEY TELLS OF BEING UNDER FIRE

The following letter from Bert J. Coffey was written just about month ago in France.
 Somewhere in France"
 Sept. 2, 1918. My Dear Elsa and Mother:
 Just few lines to let you know 1 am we'll and am still getting along very nicely. Am back from the front line trenches and now at rest camp. where I expect to be sent back most any day for the trenches again and naturally we are all very anxiously waiting for orders to move on up where we can have little excitement again.
 German shells have been flying ov- CT our heads most all day, even where we are 50 you can immagine what it is to be under fire.
 The Germans attempted to get into our trenches, on raiding party the other night, but succeeded in getting just far enough to our lines to get shot up. The result was, what we did not kill, we crippled.
 Our boys have been doing some good old fighting over here during this drive and before we get through with Germany she sure will know she has been licked proper.
 l cannot say positive if I will be home for Xmas, or not, but you will know | am thinking of the good old turkey dinner at home, wherever I am.
 l was very much surprised today to look up and find Jerome Carrow over- here driving one of Uncle Sam's fam ous Liberty trucks. We recognized each other in an instant he stopped his truck and we had quite little chat, he promised to come up and see me tomorrow. He also claims the An derson brothers are driving trucks and are in the same corp he is in. They worked for the Arizona Stores Con- pany during the time I was at the Standard Oil Company, so probably I will know them when I see them. Jerome is the only Kingman boy I have seen since arriving over here, but I am keeping a keen lookout for Earl Casteel and the bunch who left at that time, as know they are not very far from here.
 Elsa I received your letter with the clippings in it yesterday and you may be sure l was very glad to hear from you and get some news from dear old Arizona. Be sure and send the pa- pers.
 Am writing this in a French and Y. M. C.. A. and there is a French Sergeant who sure can play on the piano. He happens to be playing Dixie" at this minute and what Il mean it sure sounds good to me. Most of the boys are singing and who can't sing are whistling and I find it very confusing to try and write a letter with so much racket going cn, no doubt but that you will have a hard time in making it out, but am talk ng the only liberty I have in writing etters. l went to French motion picture show the other night, this being the first opportunity 1 have had to see ] French picture. I can't begin to ell you all the news around here on paper so will have to wait urtil I get lome. Would like awfuly we'll to lave a kodak snap of you both and will say good night and write again cal soon. With love,
 As ever yours,
 BERT,

HOWARD SMITH NOW A
 SERGEANT, WRITES HOME
Howard Smith writes an interesting letter from France.
 Somewhere in France
 Sept. 3, 1918

sept. 5, lSlo "Dear Mother:
 Arrived at our camp about week ago and since then have been having great time trying to master the French language.
 It is very pleasant here, but quiet, and people are the most kind-hearted on earth. The first night we came here it was quite late and an old man came up and with signs and motions told me to wait while he got me wat CT so I could wash. It had been two days since washed my face, so sure ly appreciated the old fellows kind nes.
 Wine and other liquors are used here the same way we would use water in America. Every other house is a restaurant or wine room.
 If it were not for the Y. M. c. A. here don't know what the American troops would do. No tobacco would be obtainable until it was brought in by this organization, and in many oth- CT instances it has been blessing to us.
 While in England I had the good fortune to see some old cathedrals and museums, built hundreds of years ago. It certainly was worth while and I thank the Lord we went there first instead of being sent here.
 Have seen lots of German prisoners at different places and quite few of them were nothing but kids, and all of them seemed to be we'll satisfied with being prisoners, instead of hav- ing to go back and fight again. At the rate the Allies are going now it will be but short time before Ger many will be crying for peace. It's certain she can't last much longer, for we are walking through her defenses as though they were made of paper. wish you would send me the paper here.
 With best love te you and all the family. Your son,
 Howard. P. s. am now sergeant, having been made one in the last few days. Today is the French market day here and cattle and people simply litter the streets. \ It looks like large carni- val day, for stands are everywhere and sell anything from shoestring to a yoke of oxen.

WE are sorry that West Virginia
voters could not see their way clear to
back up the President by sending
Colonel Watson to the Senate, at the
same time giving to our government
the benefit Of the services Of so able q
business man. Nevertheless, we viii
have a creditable representative in
Major Davis Elkins, who Is man OF
character and standing, and we have
no doubt that he will serve our people
satisfactorily.
Naturally all Democrats will regret
that Zen. II. Hiner has lost his gallant
light for seat in Congress but the peo'
pie of this section take comfort in the
fact that We are to have returned to
that body our friend and neighbor, Hon
George M. Bowers, who has served us
so acceptably and who is always sc
keenly alive to the interests Of his
constituents.

Two Years to DemObiliZe.

Decentralization of the American
forces in France after the war VIII re-
ouire at least two years, according TO a
Statement issued Friday by Gen. l
Coleman DUPONT, who has just return
ed from two months visit to the west
ern front. He conferred there with
high officials of. each of the Allied gov
ernments and brought this estimate as
the minimum expectation OF the army
officers. General dupont said, in part
"The military officials have been urg
ing us to think in terms OF long war;
and now they are equally insistent tina
we begin to accustom ourselves to the
thought of long rehabilitation. There
is an immense task ahead OF our forces
when peace is declared. One OF GU.
generals said to me: :,
"'Tell the people back home that 1t
will be two years at least before they
see us all. We have years work jus
TO untangle the barbed wire strung back
and forth across France"

THE liquor interests are doing some
desperate deathbed lying. They have
Hooded the country with stories to the
effect that vast quantities OF whiskey
were rushed to the army environments
for use in fighting the epidemic OF
influenza, and that 1t was powerful in
abating the disease. Camp Dix, a
wrightstown, New Jersey, was cited
as one OF the environments where great
quantities OF liquor were used with
splendid effect. General Scott has
issued an emphatic denial and says
there's not a word OF truth in the re
ports. Not single dose OF whiskey
was issued during the entire epidemic.
Not only did the medical authorities
refuse to prescribe whiskey for influenza
and pneumonia, but they strongly ad-
vised the public against Its use.

say that coal production would increase

hundred miles OF coal mine.

The Department Of Agriculture has
called attention to saving the persim-
mon crop, and that the persimmon, with
the exception of the date, contains more
sugar than any fruits we grow. After
gathering the fruit should be dried
a fruit or vegetable dryer serves this
purpose-and allowed to remain there
until as dry as dates, then kept unit
needed. They are an excellent home
substitute for ordinary CONNECTIONS.

AND now comes some original genius
and tells us that ladies' lingerie will win
the war. His idea is that if certain
articles are worn longer at the lower
extremities, and certain others have
long sleeves, and something else is but
toned tight up around the neok-why
then ii won't take so much coal to keep
the ladies warm, and saving coal will
speed up manufactures and thus the
war will be shortened.
