GOOD ROADS FOR BACON
Highway More Important Than Jail
Or Courthouse, Is Opinion There

Waycross, July l6.-Bacon county
is going to make some of the older
counties in South Georgia envious of
her good roads if she keeps up the
pace she has already set.
Although Bacon county is SO young
she has built neither courthouse nor
jail she has bought large truck for
hauling clay and is busily construct
ing roads under the direction of an
engineer. w. Boyd, of Atlanta, be-
ing in charge OF the construction
work at the present time.
Some OF the county authorities have
gone SO far as to say that if they
would get plenty OF good roads and
schools it might not be necessary to
build a jail or courthouse.

STATE MEDICAL COLLEGE
MAY OPEN TO WOMEN

Atlanta, Ga, July l6-In the interest
OF war service and to provide at home
instruction wanted by Georgia wo-
men, an effort will be made to open
the state medical college to women,
and also to secure the opening of the
Atlanta Medical College to women
who wish to take up medicine as a
profession.
Both institutions at present prohibit
women i'll the classes; but the great
demand being made upon the doctors
of the states opens such wide field
for service, and the need for skilled
medical attention becoming more and
more acute as the war drain continues
that it is hoped the two schools will
seriously consider the question of ad-
hitting women
There are already many women
physicians in France doing heroic
work in behalf of the sufferers there,

The most regrettable death of
young Dubignon Henderson Friday
when his car speeded him into eter-
nifty is a CHASTITY warning to motorists.
OF course, automobiles were intended
for fast driving or they would not
have been built that way, but from
this and other gricvous accidents peo-
pie should at least learn that it is not
safe. God only knows that lot
Of people will have to profit by the
warning before this fine young mans
death will be warranted but it may
yet serve a purpose. The Henderson
boy was a splendid athlete. keen eyed
and alert--none better fitted 10 handle

riblc accidents are the men and W.

TIGER ROARS AS
DOKEY NOV|CES
ARE DEVOURED

What was unquestionably the great
est D. o. K. K. ceremonial ever staged
in Arizona took place at Ray last Sat
urday night, the ceremonial being held
jointly between the Ray and Hayden
K. of P. lodges. The work of the ini-
tiatory team is said to have been the
finest ever witnessed by anyone pres
ent. Thirty-three candidates were mi
tiated.
Inhabitants of Ray were kept awake
throughout the night by the terrific
roaring of the tiger as the hapless
tyros were fed to the ferocious ami
NAL one by one. Two of the unfortu-
mates attempted to escape by leaping
from a second-story window, but were
recaptured in the darkness and
brought back and thrown to the rag
ing beast. Another tainted, but was
revived by Dr. Crawford, himself one
of the novitiates. The wives of the
tyros became frantic when their hus
bands did not return to their homes
by midnight, but in this expectation
they were doomed to bitter disappoint-
ment as the manned and crippled nov
ices were not finally released until 6
o'clock Sunday morning by which
time the appetite of the tiger had been
somewhat appeased. A number were
led home in .raving condition as a
result of their terrible experiences.
The initiation was' held in the new
K. of P. hall, and was attended by J.

WHEAT FLOUR NOW
SOLD ONLY WITH
VT. IN SUBSTITUTE

PHOENIX, Jan 31.-Wheat flour
hereafter will be sold only on the fif-
ty-fifty basis of an equal amount of
corn meal or, some other substitute
flour or meal with every pound of
wheat flour. This is one of the most
vital changes to be introduced in the
new conservation program effective
January % in response to the presi-
dents proclamation calling upon the
American people to meet the urgent
demands of the allies and our army
for wheat and other food essentials.
Timothy A. Riordan, federal food
administrator for Arizona, has issued
bulletin to all wholesale and retail
dealers in foodstuffs asking strict COM
pliance to this feature of the new reg
ulations, and through the press ap-
peals to all housewives to see that
this and other provisions of the new
program are carried out in strict ac-
cord with the spirit and letter of the
presidents proclamation.
This card carries new instructions,
of which the following is a summary:
"Have one meatless day (Tuesday)
in every week and one meatless meal
in every day. Have two porkless days
(Tuesday and Saturday. in every
week.
Special ruling for Arizona: All
meats with the exception of pork and
pork products may oe eaten until Mar
13, 1918.
MAKE every day fat-saving day
make every day sugar-saving day.
"Use fruits, vegetables and potatoes
abundantly.
"Use milk wisely. Use all the milk
waste no part of it.
"Hoarding food is condemned as
working against the common good"
Millers, wholesalers and retailers in
foodstuffs as well as bakers come un-
der new license regulations destined
to conserve the use of wheat.
The profit on wheat flour and on all
substitutes is limited
Bakers are required to use per
cent substitute flour for wheat, this
percentage to be gradually increased
to 20 per cent on February "a.
Every effort possible is being made
to secure an adequate supply of sub
stitute flours and meals for Arizona.

Following satisfactory eXplora-
tion of the Old Yeager Canyon mine
eight miles southwest of Jerome, the
Shannon Copper company of Clifton
has purchased the property, the deeds
having been placed on record at
Prescott. Exploration work in Yeager
Canyon was started by the Shannon
eight or nine months ago, the old
1900 foot incline shaft being un-
watered and the workings explored.
Large bodies of untouched copper ore
were disclosed, and new reserves
opened, with the result that the Shan
non closed negotiations for the pur-
chase of the mine. A 100000 power
plant is being installed in Yeager Can
yon by the Shannon company, and it
is understood that a concentrator
may be installed in the near future.
The old Yeager Canyon mine was
formerly worked under very expen-
sive and ineffective methods. Opera
tions were suspended in 1907 when
the price of copper slumped.
