Slowspoken Yank standing grim at the wheel,
After the goat of the germplanting Boche,

Henry Ford's hopeful is happy, begosh!

Hear that exhaust keeping keeping time to the trll
Ripped from the throat Of the Browning gun hot,
Handing to Fritz cut his longneeded pill

Smiling Tin Lizzie, America IS pride!
Over and at 'em, girl, Queen Of Detroit
Hot as hell hub tho you may be inside,
Drill some cool openwork in the Kai s ''shoit'

LAYING NEW STEEL
(From Fridays Caily)

The Santa Fe put a large foros of men at work in the terminals at Ash Fork the first of the week, lay ing the new 85-pound steel rails which will used to rehabilitatc the local division of the Santa Fe, Pres colt & Phoenix road. The new steer is displacing some of the old 65- pound rails, the latter having proven to be too light for the heavy traffic which is being routed in this direc- ton. While there is as yet some difficulty in getting as much of the new steel as is desired, the work will be pushed with all possible speed, and the improvement completed a, soon as the rails can be procured from the main line There is also a scarcity of labor at the present time, and the road could use many more men for this particular job ii they could ind them.

One Big Mining Deal Stimulates
 Other Ancestors

J. A. Forbes, an arrival yestcr- day from Jersey Lily, reports all out look which is far more encouraging than known for many years for that old mining field. The recent sale oi the Dos Oros, Buzzard and Raven to an Eastern syndicate, of which J. B. Tomlinson is to be at the head oi operations, is creating favorable com ment and also is bringing in other investors, several deals now being under consideration. The reviving of the Dos Oros is occasioning par ticular interest, and there remain some mine owners in that belt who are confident of it proving as big a silver bonanza in the future as it was demonstrated in the long ago.
 The Elk, Perry, New State and Little Johnny are also getting in line again, and this Spring should see quite a large and well established mining community in action in ra- dius of five miles of the Hassayampa river.

SHEEPMEN HARD HIT BY LONG
 DROUTH
LOSSES OF LAMBS ARE HEAVY, AND BIG OUT LAY OF MONEY BEING MADE TO PROVIDE FEED FOR THE RANGE.

What is said to have been one of the most disastrous seasons sheep men have ever experienced on the desert in winter feeding, is reported by arrivals from different places along the s. F. F. & P. line, where an outlay of over S3,0oO per day is be- ing made for hay and other food now being shipped in.
 One owner alone has expended to date S2l 900 for alfalfa, and this prac- tice is to be continued until new grass is high enough to eat, which is anticipated next week. In the ag- gregate those wintering have ex- pended to date over Sl00,000 in food alone. At several points on the range may be seen thousands of lambs born this winter which have perished and they are stacked up like cordwood, such a spectacle never having been known for winter sea son. To offset this dcplorable con- dition is the high price for wool and mutton, which it is anticipated will reach to an astounding figure. The fortunate sheepman this winter has been the one who secured pasturing in Salt River valley, but they arc very few.

BAGGAGE SOUNDS MOIST
 AND COP NABS TRAVELER
(From Wednesdays Daily)

L. Mechanism of Ash Fork on Monday made special trip over to Needles to get supply of wet goods to relieve his thirst. In order to guard against the long, thirsty days which might be ahead, he brought back with him suit case containing two dozen pints of shark soup. Just as he stepped off the train at Ask Fork yesterday morning. Officer Pat terson happened to notice that the baggage sounded moist.
 What have you got in that suit case. my good man:" said the cop.
 None of your business responded Mir. McLanahan, "and besides don't know what it is myself I am only bringing it in for a stranger whom I met down the line. He heard that 1 was coming to Ash Fork, and paid me to bring this suit case here for him"
 Fair enough" spoke the cop, but let's have slant at it anyway
 Upon opening the suit case, the true nature of the contents was re- vcaled. Mir. Mechanism was really shocked as he stated that he had not had the faintcst inkling as to what the contents of the bag had been.
 McLanahan is in the Prescott jail and the shark soup is locked up in the vaults in the sheriff's office.

NO SUFFERING IN THE HOMES OF
 |NDUCTEO MEN

LOS ANGELES, March l.-Suffer- ing in homes, due to the induction of men in the families into the mili- tary service, has been prevented, in many instances, by a check system handled through the public schools. according to a report on war work in the schools just issued here.
 The report states that in order to get a list of homes where suffering or hardship might have followed the draft, teachers were asked to learn from the pupils in each room whether any members of their families had joined the service. If they had rela' tivcs in the service, the teacher filled out a simple card, adding checks which indicated whether, from her acquaintance with the pupil and his circumstances, any possibility of hard ship existed.
 The cards that indicated such a possibility were turned over to the relief division of the Red Cross, and the cases investigated, many families being thus saved from real hardship and suffering.
 The plan, it was said by the report had the advantage that the pupils did not know of its operation, and as the queries were made quietly, no one was wounded by any suspicion Of misplaced charity, while others who needed help were found. A complete survey of the city was made, it wal reported, without any expense and within a few days of its initiation.

PREY|NG ON MISFORTUNE
 OF DEFENDERS
SERVICES OF A CLAIM AGENT UNNECESSARY IN PROCU RING SUM DUE FOR DEATH OF SOLDIER OR SAILOR.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Recently there have been many in- quiries on account of failure to re- ceive allotments and allowances from the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, due families or dependents of men in the national army. F. c. Brown, chairman of the local Civilian Relief Committee of the American Req Cross, has just been advised by the Pacific Division of tke A. R. C., San Francisco, that on February 7th, the Bureau of War Risk Insurance re. ported that checks for navy families had been mailed for November, De- cenrber and January, that army checks for November and December had been mailed, that January checks would all be mailed by February 18th and that the work would be current by the end of the month In lS,0OO cases payment could not be made on account of incompleteness of the ap- plications filed by the men and in l0.- 900 cases checks had been returned by the postoffics because families had moved or the address given in the application was not intelligible.
 Claim Agents Unnecessary
 The Red Cross has been informed that certain lawyers are watching the reports of death and injury of Ameri- can soldiers and sailors and arc send ing to the next of kin papers to be signed that authorize them to act as claim agents in recovering insurance. compensation, back pay and other benefits due under the War Risk In- surance Law. Some of these letters, being the first notice of death or in- jury received have caused great dis tress to the relatives.
 There is no need whatever of such agents, for the Bureau of War Risk Insurance will safeguard the rights of the families free of cost. In many cases. however, the preparation of claims can be facilitated and hastened by local assistance from volunteer at torncys. J. E. Russell has offered his services to the local Civilian Relief Committee ia this connection, and will be glad to be of assistance to any claimant.
