Cousins know why called tarheels. We
IRE called that because used TO make ouf
living burning tar and selling it. We Cous-
ms ought to write interesting letters, and not
FIJI M the space describing ourselves and tell
ing our age. and most all OF the Cousins say
something about the waste basket, as ] hope
Mr.. Waste Basket is making calls, or ! hope
Mr.. Waste Basket is at lunch. Now, II the let
tiers are good enough, Aunt Julia will print
them, and ic they are not, she will, of course,
throw them in the waste basket.
Now, Cousins. let's make this corner inter
esting; let's get UP a debate. some other Cous-
in can suggest a subject TO discuss. 1t will be
;bout a week until school is out. We are sure
going TO have some patriotic program.
How many of you Cousins like to read good
hooks? I do. as reading is my hobby. Ny
favor:te books are Elsie Dnsmore, Polly Anna,
Pilgrims Progress and The Rover Boy series.
H. fact, like boy books better than I do girl
books.
Say. don't YOU Cousins think this war is ter
rihle: ] have two brothers that 7 guess will
have to go but as IL 3 for a great cause, We
must give up brothers bravely and be pa

J. D. DUNN FOR COUNTY
 ASSESSOR

J. D. Dunn, who seeks ree1ec- tion to the office of County As sessor should be reflected, if the voters and tax payers want ef- ficiency, economy and eXperl- ence in the office. ~
 He is a man of efficiency, as has been demonstrated in more than one way. During the time that he has been County Asses sor he has increased the amount of the assessable property in Coconino County until now it run on $2O,OOO,O0O. This has been done without increasing the assessment of any individ- ual, company or corporation, except where it had the proper ty that should be on the assess ment roll. The increase in the assessment is due to efficiency, J. D. Dunn, being able to pick up property which had escaped taxation in previous years, and to the natural increase.
 That he conducts his office economically, no one doubts. When it is necessary to employ assistants he secures the best.
 Being a man of experience, he is recognized by the county assessors of the different coun- ties of the state as one after whom they can pattern and profit. He is often called into consultation by different asses sors in regard to the way to reach certain assessable pro- perty that should be on the roll. His suggestions are generally followed at the tax conferences.
 The Governor of the State recognized his ability when he chose him to be Arizona's dele gate at the National Tax Con- ference to be held in St. Louis in November, an honor of which Coconino County may justly be proud.
 It follows as a conclusion that in order to secure the best ser vice possible in the office of County Assessor, the voters and tax payers of the county will reelect J. D. Dunn.

EXPERIENCE WITH "FLU"
 AT CAMP GRANT

Mrs. G. H. Reinhardt, who, with her daughter Miss Violet, returned few days ago from Rochelle, Illinios, had an inter esting experience while east. Arriving in Rochelle about the 3Oth of September, she was able to give much assistance at Camp Grant during the first se- were outbreak there of Spanish Influenza.
 During the five days Mrs. Reinhardt was able to be there HOO cases developed, with 2O9 fatalities. In many cases the soldiers, practically all recruits of four weeks, went out for drill evidently in good health, and returned so ill that they could hardly reach the hospital before they dropped. The em- ergency so taxed the hospital that even tables were used for beds, a table accommodating two patients in many instances. The nurses were unable to give all the care needed, but volunteers were few. and many a boy died begging for a drink. The civil ians in nearby towns failed to realize the seriousness of the epidemic, and thru this fact the disease was easily spread.
 Mrs. Reinhardt states that she finds a marked difference in the people of the west and the southwest. Here they take a progressive view of the need of sanitation, and are favorble to precautionary measures. She She was informed by the medi- cal authorities at Camp Grant that she would arrive in Will Hams at a crucial time in the progress of influenza here, and giving special information for emergency use. She believes that there should be minimum death rate here, if people when taken sick will immediately get medical assistance and observe personal precautions, both at the time of illness. and directly after recovery begins.
 1 An interesting light in the question of whether the epi- i demic was spread by enemies, in the training camps, is given by Mrs. Reinhardt, who states that this was proven the case in the east.

Phoenix, Oct 18.
Poultry

Phoenix, Oct IS. Poultry and poultry products are to have an important place at the Arizona State Fair, which will be held in Phoenix November II to 16. An entire building is to be given over to an exhibit which promises to be the larg- est ever shown in this state and probably in the entire west. Awards made at this exhibit are to be highly valued because of the keen competition. No matter what strain of poultry, the exhibitor may have to show, the award will have been won only after the keenest compe- tition. Poultry breeders from all over Arizona are showing a desire to have part in the com ing exhibit.
 The government has sent out an insistent and more than ur- gent request that the people of this country keep more hens. Laws have been made limiting the killing of laying biddies. As result. this exhibit is to have a peculiar interest in that it will offer the latest and best methods for showing fanciers, and even experienced handlers of poultry the latest and best methods for bringing to early maturity the best of the stock.
 Lessons learned in the hard school of experience will be giv- en the farmers and poultry breeders at first hand. Because of this exhibit, the farmer is to have an opportunity next month to- go to school to those who have made a lifestudy of the best methods of rearing stock.

came up for passage the very same day but the advertise ment studiously refrains from stating that Mir. Hayden voted for it.
 The self-styled Security Lea que is composed of such we'll known critics of the Wilson ad- ministration as Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, George w. Wicker sham, Theodore Roosevelt, Eli hu Root, Alton B. Parker, etc., men who have never forgiven Woodrow Wilson for having been reelected in 1916. Of two hundred and sixteen Democra- tic members of the house of re- presentatives, these men only find four who measure up to their particular brand of patri- otism, which is embraced in the eight measures mentioned above.
 President Wilson has set a much better and far more com prehensive test of loyalty than that embraced in the partisan ship of the gentlemen compris- ing the Security League. The President has said:
 "The McLemore resolution,
 the embargo issue, and the
 armed neutrality measure
 presented the first opportuni-
 ,tY to apply the acid test in
 our country to disclose true
 loyalty and genuine Ameri-
 canism."
 This acid test when applied to Carl Hayden proves his pure Americanism!
 Which test do you prefer that of a body of politicians seeking a cheap political ad- vantage, or that of the Com mander-in-chief of the Ameri- can army and navy?

Mountain Lion at Work

A party of hunters. who were out looking for deer last Sunday found the body of a colt on the rim of Hells Canyon. The colt had been killed by a mountain lion, and the body was still warm, when it was discovered: It belonged to Dink Smith, who has lost much stock in the past from the same cause.

MAJOR CARL HAYDEN
Congressman Springs a Surprise-Commissioned a Major of Infantry, U. s. A.

By commissioning Congress man Carl Hayden a Major of Infantry in the United States Army last Monday, Secretary Baker made it public for the first time that Arizona's popu- lar congressman had volunteer ed his services to his country shortly after war was declared with Germany. As early as July 1917, Congressman Hay den rendered his services to President Wilson, and on Aug 4, 1917, the President address ed the following letter to him in reply:
 Washington, Aug. 4, 1917
 My Dear MT. Hayden:
 Your letter of July 18th. certainly does you great honor, and 1 am going to take the liberty of handing it to the Secretary of War in the hope that he may see some opportunity to avail himself of your offer.
 Woodrow Wilson
 Major Hayden's long exper- fence as a private and later as an officer inthe Arizona Nation al Guard will now be of great benefit to him. He would not ask for staff assignment, but preferred to be assigned to the infantry, and he was placed in the 97th., which shortly will begin training at Camp Cody.
 Major Hayden has not re- signed his nomination as the Democratic candidate for Con- gress because, as the term for which he is now a candidate does not begin until December 1919, he fully expects Germany will have been defeated before he will be called upon to enter upon the new term.
 The Arizona senators and certain of MT. Hayden's col leagues have agreed to attend to the details of his depart mental work and to take care of his bills on the calendar dur ing the short session of congress which ends on March 4th., 1918
 Being now an officer in the army, he is prevented from talk ing part in politics, so that he must leave his campaign for re- election to congress in the i hands of his friends.
