Morning Exercises.

Calisthenics taken in the early morn
Ing do much to keep up the general
health. Standing, warmly but loosely
clad, at an open window and inhaIing
deep breaths Of fresh air win stimulate
the blood quickly. This might be fol-
lowed with two or three easy exercises.
one might consist of doubling the fists,
placing them at the shoulders, and
then thrusting them out at arms length
swiftly. After that 1t would be well
10 bend, trying to touch the floor with
the finger tips without bending the
knees. These calisthenics might be
concluded with a final one of kneellng
and bending forward the floor from
the waist. The whole performance
need not take more than five minutes,
and will do more to make circulation
lively and muscles in good condition
than any amouet of medicine.

FLIES TWO HOURS;
PILOTS ARE DEAD
British Crew Slain in Fight, but
Machine Goes on in Wide
Circle.
AMAZING TALE OF The AIR
Bristol Machine Oisposes Of Enemy,
Then Continues Flight With Both
Occupants Dead, Until Pc
troll Gives Out.

LondOn.-An amazing flight Of
British airplane for two hours with 1T
two occupants dead was briefly re
ferred to In a dispatch from the fight
ing front the other day. Now fulleI
details are supplied by a well-knowI
flying officer who has returned TO Lon
don from Arras.
"The incident referred to-" he said
sis quite authentic and was a com
mon topic of conversation a few day
ago. OF course, there is absolutely n,
reason why a machine should not, un
der average conditions, fly itself 81
long as its petrol holds out. This /;
not an exceptional incident of the
kind. and certainly there have been
cases where German machines have
been captured with their pilots dead
The Known Facts.
$50 far us I know the facts are that
this Bristol fighter, which, of course
is a two-seater with guns fore an
aft. took off about 100 p. m. Thf
wind conditions were almost pegli
gible, making it very good flying wealth
er. There was a great deal of mis-
c~ellaneous craft widely scattered over
mo Mans Land"
"The British airmen, at an estimated
altitude of $500 feet, when they would
be running at eighty miles or there
abouts, encountered a German alba
tross. They at once attacked. A To-
Of m%aneuvering followed and three
other machines, two of them German
came into action.
'The Bristol machine hung on it
quarry and eventually got 1t well IN
der the nose, the German crashing
down.
Immediately our machine gave {
sweep south. II had lost height In ma
neuvering and was rocking badl.
as il out of control. but it kept stead
lily on until 1t was lost to view.
AT a little before four o'clock the
machine, which was, of course, ems
lily identified. fell crashing TO earth
nearly twenty miles to the west of
Arras. ON examination both its occu.
pants were found to be dead, obvi-
ously from bullet wounds, which had
struck them from the back and which
must at once have proved fatal.
Petrol Tank Empty.
Their injuries OF coming down Ger.
tainly did not cause their death. The
petrol tank Of their machine was
found to be empty.
''There Is no doubt the two men were
shot Immediately the German alba
tross fell. The Bristol machine, which
is the best and most perfectly con
trolled fighting machine known, OF its
own volition swept OF a fairly even
keel to a distance OF possibly ten
miles below the point where the bat
tie took place.
'"Then, for some reason which never
viii be known, the controls we're shift
ed and "A circle was made. In view Of
the fact that the total distance covered
must have been much under 100 miles,
1t appears certain the machine lost
speed and height gradually. possibly
due to some minor but not vital in
Jury to the engine.
For upward of two hours the two
dead men were In the air before the
final crash to EARTH"

The hour comes when he suddenly

Far from being the rough, careless

NEW AGRICULTURAL LAND MAY BE
 IRRIGATED

To the end that, thousands of acres of new agricultural land may be brought under cultivation in the Gila valley above Duncan and across the line in New Mexico, movement has been launched by the farmers in that vicinity and a permanent organiza- tion perfected.
 At a mass meeting held in Duncan on Saturday afternoon last the pro position was discussed among the farmers and correspondence, bearing upon the subject, read from Arizona and New Mexico Representatives in Congress. At the mass meeting an I organization known as the Gila River Box Canyon Irrigation Association was formed and the following officers and committeeman selected:
 President, Peter Mortensen.
 Secretary, J. l.. T. Walters. l Permanent committee in charge Jas. H. Kerby, Chairman; J. L. T. Walters and Ed Lunt. Finance Committee-W. w. Wilkey, J. V. Parks, Sam Foster, T. J, Ma tions. w. F. Shriver.
 The plan for bringing in additional acreage hinges upon an appropria- tion by congress of sufficient sum for the construction of a dam at a point on the Gila river in New Mexico known as Box Canyon, an ideal site for a dam at comparative small ex- pense.
 i The plan will be cooperative, pat termed after the Roosevelt dam agreement.
 ] Tte prime mover in the proposition has been County Assessor James H. Kerby, who owns farming land in that vicinity. Congressman Carl Hayden was interested in the proposi- tion to bring into cultivation addi- tional acreage in Greenlee county and took the matter up in Washington with the Geological Survey and U. !. S. Eneineering department. The site was pronounced feasible by the Eneineering Department.
 With the farmers of the Duncan i country organized in an Association they are ready now to enter into a cooperative plan with the Federal Government and it is expected that Congressman Hayden will introduce an appropriation bill in the House of Representative at an early date for this purpose.

Not a Deserter-
 The published list of those classed as deserters from the Greenlee board has brought to light one person whose friends say he is now in the service. The Board anticipated just such claims and the Copper Era stat ed last week it was possibly true that some of the men in the list were really now in the service, but they have failed to clear up their record with the exemption board, and there was nothing to do but for the board to class them as deserters. Some friend of Edgar B. Began, whose post office was given as Metcalf, phoned the Copper Era this week and stated that Began was in the service. He should get in communication with the exemption board and clear up his record at once. Until this is done he will still be classed as deserter by this board.

DADDY OF ALL. FISH STORIES
Here Is One That Will Make Any Disciple of Izaak Walton Look
 to His Laurels.

A reader has asked us to retell the story of the sixty-five pound catfish
 which appeared original in the column some six or seven years ago. We have always considered it the best fish story we know. We trust the community will permit us to repeat 1t. a -
 AS we used to tell it, the story ran something like this: We were fishing for bass under the old mill dam in the river, south of Gligsby City. Some thing took the bait and lunged away with 1t despite our efforts to hold It. We surmlsed, correctly, that 1t was a good-slzed catfish or drum, and began working 1t backward and forward across the stream in the deep water under the dam. Eventually we headed the leviathan down stream and finally stranded it in the shallow ripple" be- low. It could get neither forward nor back, and with the help of half dozen other fishermen, who were watching the contest. we landed 1t. It proved to be a monster cat of the yellow or Mississippi variety, and weighed sixty five pounds on the scales uptown.- New York Tribune. .'

HAVE NOT YET REACHED LIMIT
Mere Powerful Explosive Than Any in Present Use Is Dire Possibility
 of the Future.

Nltroglycerin, although considered one of the most violent explosives in present use, develops only 1880 cal ories per kilograni, since the nitric acid which 1t comprises does not take part in the reaction and the hydrogen and the carbon therein give only 43 per cent of the energy of combustion which they would disengage if they were alone. Explosives of liquid air, or oxyllquite, give as high as 200 calories because the liquid oxygen combines directly with the carbon and the hydrogen. The combination of hydrocarbides with ozone, ozonide Of ethylene and benzine triozonlde, though llberatlng no more heat of explosion, have q higher "breaking. value"o be cause of the greater speed of decom- position. .,.
 Theoretically, still more powerful explosives are conceivable; a trichlor- ate of glycerln should develop 5000 calories, twice the force of nitro- glycerln; and finally mixture Of liquid hydrogen and liquid ozone, if 1t were practical, would give about 4,50O calorles and would be the most terrible substance possible to obtain.

Index Finger as Nut Cracker.

Nut crackers, which are based on leverage, make us suppose that 1t takes great strength to open a nut; and, in fact, everyone knows from experience that without such a little machine it Is hardly possible to overcome the hard ness of nut. And yet one can open hundreds of nuts in a very short time without any implement and without any effort whatever merely with the aid of the index finger.
 Place the nut upon a stone or block of wood, but SC that the joint stands perpendicular. In this position hold 1t fast with the index finger of your left hand, strike with the right fist hard upon the index, and the nut will at once break asunder Light blows will not accomplish the feat, One must strike hard. It may happen that the nut will fly away, but this only proves that the joint was not held in a perfectly perpendicular position.i which Is indispensable to success. Ea point of the nut should also be tlirr,r toward the chest. & q
