YUCCA NOTES
Special Correspondence to the Mohave County Miner

MT. and Mrs. c. w. Inman have
 been spending sometime in Los An
 geles, where MT. Inman has been
 under the care of physicians. His
 ailment is some kind of an ulcer on
 the tongue. It is hoped he may
 return fully cured.
 J. M. Shaw of Castanada Wells was in Yucca recently. MT. Shaw has sold his ranch and cattle to L..
 Tolliday of Blythe, California. We
 understand he intends to remove
 his family to Yucca in the near fu-
 ture.
 The many friends of Louie Mar chand were shocked to learn of
 his death from pneumonia in Yuc- ca the 18th of last month. Louie
 had lived in Mohave county for sev-
 eral years, and was we'll liked by
 all who knew him. His body was
 taken to Kingman the next morn
 ing where interment will take place Jess Fears writes that M. J. Gar rett (Jack) was killed by a bomb from an airplane while taking a load of supplies (ammunition) to the front. He was wagon Sergeant of the 355 Supply Co. We would suggest for all our boys who give up their lives Cover there" this epitaph-"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" 1" A mining man by the name of An derson was taken to the hospital at Kingman Tuesday. He was suffering from pneumonia.
 Messrs Bly, Longaker and a strang- CT from Los Angeles have been hunt ing this week down on the Bill Will Hams. We have not heard how many deer, nor the number of rabbits, quail etc., the brought back with them, but we expect the machine was we'll load ed with their spells.

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Dyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by curious
coincidence-fOr there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind Of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told us about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but in ali
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were of even more remote date. In
some respects the methods of today
bear strong resemblance TO the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
cOlors being printed at one time. Just
as today the cOlOring matter of dyes
is not affixed by merely printing it on
the material. but is secured by means
of substance known as mOrdant, so
did the Peruvians make use of prop
erty which caused the dye TO adhere
and to withstand q test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction Of tech
nical and artistic value the designs in
question have no equal.

People" said Mrs. Midnight Blue
Fish.
"And what can we show them worth
looking at2" asked Mr.. Goldfish who
wanted to find out everything.
well, the idea !" said Mrs. Midnight
Blue Fish. Never have known such
q modest fish. We can show people
ourselves. We can swim about and
they can look at US. For this is a
fish show you know. We're not going
to live in these aquariums forever.
Mol We're special fishes brought TO
show the people how rare and won
derui and expensive and beautiful we
can be-"
And so that's why we are here, is
it," asked Mr.. Goldfish, looking very
Ginning and bright and happy now.
''The very reason" said Mrs. Mid
night Blue Fish. And let me tell you
that It does my watery heart good
when 1 see society people looking at
me with envy. I'll tell you secret,
Mr.. Goldfish, only you mustn't tell
Mrs. Goldfish for it might make her
jealous and envious."
"Tell me the secret" said Er. Gold
fish, wiggling around.
"They call my color midnight blue
and it's very fashionable this year.
Ladies' would give anything to have
gowns made of the color / am"
Doesn't it make you nerv0usr
asked Mr.. Goldfish.
"Whyr asked Mrs. Midnight Blue
Fish.
They, might try to use you"
ooh, dear no." laughed Mrs. Mid
night Blue Fish, splashing delighted
ly. ''They never make dresses out Of
fishes-never. never, never. If we
had fur on us then they might. but
as we haven't there is nc need of
worrying"
"And so you're fashionable and yet
safe" said Mr.. Goldfish. We'll, you
are indeed fortunate"
And my long black tail is much ad.

Now at the fish show there were

1t is hard to believe that a man who
was sober would spend half a minute,
or seven seconds, in pulling down one
leg of pair of trousers. But we can
not say as matter of law that if he
was sober he did not do so. What we
do say. however, is that when man

Calculating Youth.

Margaret's uncle had taken a party
of small children nutting, and when
they were to distribute the nuts he
told one of the boys to give each child
so many handfuls. Margaret would
not accept the nuts from this boy, say
ing she wanted her uncle to give the
nuts to her. He felt little flattered
to think she would take them from
no one but himself and asked why she
felt that way. She came over to him
and whispered: "'Cause, uncle, your
