Saue Your Fruit
 Pits and Nut Shells

FLAGSTAFF, Sept. g. - A great anti-German gas. drive has been start cd in Arizona.
 Invoking the same patriotic spirit of conservation that saved millions of bushels of wheat and immense quantities of meat, sugar and fat for export to our army and the Allies, the federal food administration for Arizona has asked the assistance of its organizations throughout the state to stimulate the saving of fruit pits and nut shells from which will be made a high grade of carbon for gas masks that will withstand the rava- ees of German poison gas.
 All county food administrator, have been asked to further the local campaigns of the Red Cross, which IS acting as collecting agents, and in forwarding the necessary materials to points of utilization. Deputy county food administrators will be useful in outlying territory to line up house. holders. canners, and members of fra ternal and social organizations that can act as units in the campaign. The hotel division has been asked to line up the hotels, restaurants, boarding houses and other public eating places.
 The need for everybody to save every possible bit of material and send it in promptly is emphasized by the fact that it takes two hundred pits or seven pounds of shells to fur nish enough carbon for one mask that may save the life of an Ameri- can soldier
 Only the following materials can be used: peach. apricot, prune, olive' date, cherry and plum pits and Bra gil. walnut and butternut shells.

Tie Constable Vote
 Out at Camp Verde
CFrom Tuesdays DailvO

uCShhN
 When the board of supervisors met yesterday afternoon to canvass the returns of the recent primary cleo ton. it was discovered that the voters of Camp Verde precinct, while they thought they were making selection as to who should be their next con- stable. will. as a matter of fact, have nothing to do with deciding as to who shall be the Democratic candidate.
 The unusual situation is brought about bv the fact that official returns show that (. B. Rudd and John s. Speer, opposing candidates, each re- ceived 63 votes.
 As a consequence, it is likely that the flip of coin or the toss of a card will be the deciding factor rather than the voters. The state primary law. it is said, failed to take into con sideration the possibility of tie vote and make provision for deciding such an issue.

 F. L. Garrison, who was in this section for several months last year, coming from Rutherford county, Tennessee, to look over mineral con- ditions and also to seek change of climate for his health, attempted to destroy himself by taking laudanum after he had been rejected for mili- tary duty on account of physical reas- OnS.
 He persisted in trying to enlist and when he appeared for the third time before the military board and was plainly informed by the physician member that he was afflicted with tuberculosis, his father, mother and uncle being present, Garrison hurried ly left the room and going to a drug store asked for laudanum prepara- ton for an aching tooth. He drank the full ounce bottle but did not sue ceed in shielding, as physician was called and he was resuscitated. A Nashville paper has been received in this city giving quite a sensational account of the unfortunate affair.

Hun lines without any trouble at all We were flying in two formations of five planes each. I was number four in our patrol. \ patrol is numbered with the leader No. and all planes to the right of the leader are even numbers and on the left odd num- bcrs.
 Wc\ had flown up to the extreme east of our patrol and had turned west flying inside the German lines and about parallel to them, when all Of q sudden I heard some booming and looking mp and little behind me saw a very large number of Archies bursting. The Germans had thrown up a very strong barrage between IFS and our lines. Even while I looked they began Bursting closer and closer to me until finally one burst right under my tail and I thought sure that some pieces must have hit me. The next instant one broke right in front of me and SO close that I didn't have time to do thing before I went right through the smoke.
 I looked down at the ground and saw the flashes of the guns that were firing at us and would have certain. Iy liked to have turned my machine guns loose on them, but to do that 1 would have had to break away from the formation and once separated from the formation every gun would have concentrated on me instead of just firing at random on tho whole formation.
 The only thing to do when the archies start is to ziz-zag about and keep changing altitude so as to make it a case of luck rather than good figuring if you are hit.
 There was a bunch of Hun planes about 1000 meters above us and in the sun. and although they had us out-numbcred and had the advantage of position, being both above us and in the sun, they wouldn't attack us as long as we kept in formation and as the Archie fire failed to break our formation they sent down a decoy in the hopes that we would chase it and thus break our formation, which would probably have succeeded if We hadn't already seen them up there. The Huns want everything in their favor before they attack.
 Well the last three days it has been raining so we have had no patrols. l think there must be a raid going on tonight, as I hear the Archies going merrily. If they get much closer l will have to put out the candle and go to bed.
 Have the carly patrol again tomor- TOW darn iti
 We'll so long, lots of love.
