said a good woman to a speaker
who had been showing the alb.
solute necessity of sending flour
abroad. All argument was vain
with her so long as it cost more
tomake corn bread or cakes than
to make white bread. She re-
presents a large class. She did
not mean to be unpatriotic or dis
loyal. She was simply so dis
tressed by the high prices of
food that one idea possessed her
mind. Others are merely selfish
or thoughtless. 1T is not 50
easy to make good corn bread -
That is another common answer
to the plea for substitution. "The
children don't like it," is another,
as though that were sufficient to
settle the matter. All of which
shows that the people who think
in this way do not realize that
we are at war.

Lewis McNary, of Walnut Grove, q visitor yesterday, stated he had been advised of /thc acquittal of the two men who killed his son, Edward Me Nary, on the grounds that no evidence of the crime was presented the trial jury.
 This case attracted very much com- mcnt in Riverside county, California, at the time, owing to this youth ot only Is years meeting death in cruel manner, having been thrown out of an auto and sustaining a fracture of the skull.

434 WERE HELD IN HOOSEG0W
 DURING 1917
BOOTLEGGERS AND DRAFT EVADERS CONSTITUTED MAJORITY OF COUNTS
 UNWILLING GUEST S; NEW JAIL SOON READY.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

During the year of 1917 there were 434 prisoners confined in the Yava-
 pai county jail at various times, llo of this number having been federal prisoners and the remainder county prisoners. The majority of the men arrested on either county or federal charges were held for violating the dry laws of the State Prior to the enactment and enforcement of the dry laws, the average number of prisoners confined in the jail was about 10 or l2, but now since the officers have been making inroads upon the rank, of the illicit booze peddlers, there ar, upon an average of 5 to 40 men in Jail most of the time
 Slackers also formed large per. centage of the prisoners during the past Summer and Fall, the govern ment officers having been quite busy experimenting this class of law break CT. Deducting the slackers and boot leggers from the list of men arrested, there were but comparatively few who were confined during the year for other causes. Just now there are 34 prisoners in the county jail. ex- elusive of the 34 Russian religious zealots who have been doing time since last July for refusing to register for the draft The Russians, who have as little to do with the other prison CTS as possible, arc confined in the new detention quarters in basement of the new court house. They have about six months to serve yet.
 The old jail quarters are continual ly crowded, many of the men being compelled to sleep on the floor be- cause of lack of cell space. It is hoped that the new jail on the top floor of the court house can be puy into commission within the next month or so and that the unhealthful and crowded conditions can be eli- minated. When the new quarters are completed, the old rcd-brick building which for the past ten years or sc has confined the county's undcsir- ables or alleged undesirables, will be torn down. The old cells and grat- 'ings now in use in the present jail will be used in the new hoosgow, one half of the cell equipment having al- ready been sent back to the factory in St Louis to be remodcllcd to fit the new conditions When the first half is returned and set up, the men will be transferred to the new place. and the cells now in use will also be shipped to St. Louis for similar altera- tions and then re-erectcd in the new lookup. The prison will be situated so high up in the air that escape win be a rather difficult matter, and any prisoner who succeeds in cutting thru the barred windows, will have to resort to the means used by the es- caping heroes in the story books and movies, that of braiding his blankets into ropes. and making dramatic slide for life down the granite faced sides of the new county building.

Two alleged slackcrS, John Gotow ski and Joseph Gallcto, were brough, to Prescott this week by Officer Harry Carlson of Jerome, both of the prisoners being charged with 'havinl failed to appear before the local ex- cmption board when they were call ed. In all probability both men will be given another opportunity to join the colors and thus escape punish meht for their delinquencies.
 Gotowski, a Pole, fell into the tolls as a result of an investigation Carl son made into his relations with a Mexican woman with whom Inc was living. The Pole claimed that the woman was his wife, but said tha: their marriage certificate had been burned up in fire. Later, when the woman was questioned separately, she said that they had lost the docn- mcnt in ono of the Mexican rcvolu- tionS.
 In the course of the investigation Carlson learned that GotowsKi was not registered for the sclective draft. The Pole claimed that he was over 31 and offered to leave the question of his age to his mother. who lives in Hurley. Wis. .At Carlson's request the police interrogatcd her. She wa, not sure as 10 her sons exact ago. but declared that it was under 30. Gotowski then pleaded guilty.

PREFERS FIRING LINE TO
 WOES OF HYMEN
(From Saturdays Daily.)

In withdrawing his plea to be exempted from military duty, and re qucsting to be drafted, this is the statement made by Luther L. Kirk to the examining board of Jacksonville Illinois, as contained in the Press oi that city:
 Marriage is a failure when the good-naturcd groom has to face two rapid fire machine guns at the same time, and without being able to en- trench. My case is this, gentlemen, and l ask your prompt action to put me into service. My wife's parents started to lombard me the very min ute after our marriage, and the fusil- ladc has been going on without a moments cessation. l will admit now that l attempted to cvade duty by getting married, and my case, as you know, has been held up since that fatcful and deplorablc day. l come to you in mcckncss to answer to roll call, trusting sincerely that you all will be obcdicnt to a sacred duty and take me in. Liberty is my slogan, and to escape the wrath of paternal bickcrings from sundown to sunrise is all l ask"
 Kirk also stated that he would rather face a brigade of Huns on the firing line than to submit to the in- ccssant jibings of his wifc's parents. He had been married five weeks, and his exemption application had been set aside to await his turn.
 Kirk will be quite well remembered as a resident of this section last Spring, following different vacations, his last employment being at a Jc- rome mining camp. while he also worked at mines near Mayer. He was injured in an auto accident while coming to Prescott from Humboldt, when his sister requested him to comt home, and he complied. His mar riagc was then decided upon, but he held back to await the outcome oi drafting. Now he is sorry that he whispered the fatcful word to his sweetheart. He is 24 years of age.

 long list of supplies, aggrcgating an enormous annual tonnage, used by the mines of Arizona not single item has lowered in price sincc the fixing of metal prices in September. On the other hand, 75 per cent of the list has made advance in price.
 Wage advances made since Sep tcmbcr, together with the increased cost of supplies has increased the cost of producing copper more than : cents the pound among the larger producers. With the smaller pro duccrs the increased cost run as much as cent and half in excess of the ? cents carried by the larger pro duccrs. This is mainly because the larger operators have the advantage of car load prices and freight rates, together with exemption from minor cha-gcs of haulagc to and from rail.
 The supplies delivered to Arizona mines annually arc gathered from every part of the United States. Hundreds of thousands of working
 men in the cstern states and on the Pacific coast are indirectly dependent upon the prosperity of the mining industry in Arizona for their daily employment. The range is all the way from the products of manu- lecturers engaged in supplying the shelves of the mining district stores 10 those of the outputtcrs of the heaviest of machinery. In between there is a great variety of small pro ducts, nails, small steel, bolts, wire, tools and innumcrablc other items.

It was also reported that she made partial arrangements for the purchase of 25O-acre ranch near Santee. Three unredecmed checks arc in the hands of the dis trict attorneys office. The checks were on the Bank of Jerome, and were returned marked mo funds.
 \ check on which the prosecution is based was issued to William Rus sell of Stephens & Co., brokers, the amount being $50, and two other checks for d total of Sl05 were passed upon Ballard & Crockett. suit and cloak house of this city. /
