late of registration will be early in
beptember
The registration of such large num-
ers requires detailed and extensive
Preparation and there will not be suf-
icient time for such preparation after

Eress. Instructions outlining proceed
re will be at once forwarded by mail.
Pending receipt thereof, you are in
tructed to make preliminary ar
langements at once in order that reg
stration may take place soon after

The Albert Steinfeldt Grocery store
had considerable amount of perish
able goods in the baGoment of their
building. When Main street was inun-
dated-being covered to depth of
about one foot, water rushed into the
basement, and it was only with diff
ficulty that a loss running into $40,-
600 was averted. Miller Bros. Gro
Gerry store, carrying a stock valued
at about $4,000 90 was able to save
all but rs sacks of sugar. Damage to
their dry goods department was
avoided through the use of sand
baks, piled about the entire entrance
to the store.
The flood commenced at about 8:2O
in the morning, and came as a rolling
wall of water, about two feet high.
In less than one minute after first
sight of the food, the creek bed was
completely filled. Floating down the
stream, the flow of which was COM
puted at more than 25 miles per
hour, came thousands of dollars worth
of new and heavy timber, from the
Hercules Copper Cos. yard; drowned
cattle, gasoline drums filled with
gasoline, trees torn up by their roots
and debris of all sorts was carried
down at a tremendous pace, serious
ly endangering the Ray Consolidated
Copper company's foot bridge leading
to their No. / Yard,
Within one hour after the start, the
road leading to town was one mass
of swirling torrent, sweeping every
thing before it, and completely isoiat-
ing the Ray Con. General offices from
| the rest of the town. Tremendous
boulders were thrown up on the road
and large parts of the tarred road torn
up.
Automobiles were carried from the
Ray Motor Company's garage to the
Arizona Hercules yard, a distance oil
about 800 feet. One car was complete
ly wrecked, but hopes are entertained
for the salvage of the other one.
Moses Davis, known to Rayites as
Nose, the bootblack', had the mis-
fortune to see two of his houses
smashed to smithereens against the
walls of the creek. The entire negro
settlement was in constant danger
while the flood lasted. Signs of abate
ment were greeted with the utmos
jubilation on their part.
The loss to the Ray and Gila Val
ley r. r. Co. is enormous, two sec
tions of track, one about $50 fee
long, the other about 800 feet lon'
being seriously damaged, and abou
200 feet of track was completely lost

EarIaps OF the japanese.

"The earlap is. almost entirely want
ing with the Japanese bat this appar-
ent anomaly is none at all 1t is we
whose ears are badly formed, or at
least different from those which ma
ture, if not interfered with, would
have given US. Our ear is disfigured
because for centuries our ancestors
loaded it with more or less heavy orna-
ments, which in the course OF time
elongated its inferior part. We in
herited from them both the custom
and its effect-the lap. A fact which
shows that this useless and cruel Gus
tom was unknown to the Japanese, the
expressions for earrings (mimi-gana)
and earlap (mimi-taboo), were not in
trOdUced into the Japanese language
until the epoch when the japanese en-
tered into connection with the Occi-
dentals, those whom they were wont to
call barbarians.

MORE MILL FEEDS.

With the return of all-wheat bread
to American tables following the re-
Taxation of substitute regulations,
farmers of the country may expect a
somewhat increased supply of mill
feeds. The amount will be further
enlarged by the recently increased
purchases of flour by the Food Ad-
ministration Grain Corporation for ex-
port. Export of flour rather than
wheat is now possible because Of in
creased ocean tonnage available since
the signing OF the armistice.
A third factor which is expected to
increase supplies of mill feeds is the
cancellation of the so-called milling
extraction rule'' which, as a war
measure, diverted into flour a con-
siderable proportion of the wheat ber-
ny ordinarily used for feed.
All of these developments combined
are expected to increase the mill feed
output fully a fifth, and this extra
feed should be available about the end
OF December. In presenting these
facts the Food Administration warns

against excessive optimism over the
situation, since there will be a contin-
ued shortage of mill feed compared
with pre-war years. The price of
these feeds is being maintained by
regulation at an artificially low level
which obviously stimulates an abnor-
NAL demand.
Briefly, more mill feeds are in pros
pect and they will be available about
the Christmas holidays, but the sup
ply will be short of demand and con-
tinued conservation is necessary.
The spectre of famine abroad now
haunts the abundance of cur table at
home.
From the inability of governments
to secure food for their people grows
revolution and chaos.
There is one food policy that can
not change, and that is the vital ne
cessity of simple living
It has been a standard criticism on
Americans that we waste what other
nations would live on.

ease reportable. . In New York city,
where reporting has been in force for
many years, over $4,000 cases of tu-
bercUlosis are registered with the De
part8ent OF Health. These familiar
with the situation believe that the adj
dition OF urrecognized and unreDorted
cases would make the number nearer
$4,000. The very careful health sur
vey conducted during tie past two
years in birmingham, Mass, revealed
200 cases of tuberculosis in a poDula-
ton OF approximately 5000. II these
proportions hold true for the United
States rs a whole they would indicate
that about one in every hundred per-
sons is tuberculous Each of these
constitutes a source of danger to be
guarded against"
What to Do.
In his statement to the public Sur
geon General Blue points out how
those who have had influenza should
protect themselves against tubercuIo-
sis. "AII who have recovered from in
fluenza, says the Surgeon General,
should have their lungs carefully ex-
amined by a competent physician In
fact, it is desirable TO have several ex-
aminations made Il month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out IN two or thrre minutes If the
lungs are found TO be free from tuber-
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
right living. good food and plenty of
fresh air.
Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General warned espe-
cially against certain danger signs,
such as decline" and "coIds which
hang on"
These, he explained, were often the
beginning of tuberculosis eff you do
not set we'll promptly, if your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs of tuberculo-
sis. Place yourself at once under the
care of a competent physician. Tuber-
culosis is durable in the early stages.
Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber
cuIosiG.
Above all do not trust IN the mis-
leading statements of unscl-uDuIols
patent medicine takers There is rs
specific medicine for the cure Of ,uber-
culosis. The money spent on sucIi
medicines is thrown away; it should
be spent instead for good food and de.
cent living"

Washington, D. c. Especial )-Ac-
cording to a report made to the United
States Public Health Service, the cpl
demic of influenza in Spain has al
ready caused an Increase in the pTeva-
Ience and deaths from pulmonary tu-
berculoSis A similar association be-
tween influenza and tuberculosis was
recently made by Sir Arthur News
hOlme, the chief medical officer of the
English public health service, in his
analysis of the tuberculosis death rate
in England.
In order that the people of the Unit
ed States may profit by the experience
of other countries Surgeon General
Rupert Blue of the United States Pub
lie Health Service has just issued
warning emphasizing the need of spe-
cial precautions at the present time.
Experience seems to Indicate" says
the Surgeon General, that persons
whose resistance has been weakened
by an attack of Influenza are peculiar
~ susceptible to tuberculosis. With
millions of its people recently affected

"Then you consider this a serious
menace?" was asked. 'In my opinion
it is, though 1 hasten to add it is dis
tinctly one against which the people

MOTOR CAR EFFICIENCY.

"Motor car efficiency, like human
efficiency, is matter of physical fit
ness" SAYS the Wilmington Automo-
bile Co. local dealer in Chevrolet passen-
ger automobiles and trucks
"An automobile, like n man, can be
depended upon to work faithfully and
long only when all parts of its meehani-
cal anatomy perform their functions
properly at all times. Each part is vitally
dependent upon another for its working
efficiency. Let one part fail in its mis-
sion and the entire mechanical unit
is out of tune.
THE physical fitness of a man can
lie determined sufficiently hy his ap-
pearancc and actien. Put with n motor
car it is entirely II different matter,
You cannot judge mechanical value
entirely by appearance. There must
he the assurance that all parts are made
of materials of uniformly high quality
that will enable them to work together
with consistent smoothness that spells
mechanical depndabiIity"
