WAR MISSION TOBISBEE PIONEER, BORGLUN CHARGED ARRIVE TODAY IN JAMES KIRK, DIESWTTH ATTEMPT ID WARREN DISTRICT IN ADOPTED HOME BUILD AIRPLANES

Many telegrams of sympathy have been sent out of the Warren District during the past two days to Mrs. James Kirk at her home in Beverly Hills, near Hollywood, California, on account Of the death Thursday of her husband. James Kirk, who is known to thousands of citizens of COchise county. Bisbee and the entire south west. The news of his death was re- ceiyed late Thursday by Dr. L. D. Ricketts of Warren in a telesra n from Mrs. Kirk Dr. Ricketts was particular friend of MT. Kirk's.
 James Kirk was one of the pioneer settlers of Cochise county and is well known throughout Arizona and SOu- ora. He belonged to the class of men who helped huild an empire in the southwest. and was of a type that soon will be extinct-ruSged. fearless, honest; leader among his associates and imbued with a neve--waning faith in the section in which he pssed the greater portion of his life.

 In 1851, Mir. Kirk was born on farm in Cecil county. Maryland, his parents being Elijah E. and Rebecca H. Kirk. The family was among the earliest settlers in that state. He re- ceived ascommon school education and worked on his fathers farm until he reached the age of 21. when the spirit of adventure called him to the great west. In 1872 he went to Colorado. engaging in various pursuits for year. then went to Montana. where for nearly three years he followed mining in the Bryant district with varying success.
 From Montana he went back homo and remained with his parents for time.

He had been a long time in France,

1t seems that the sergeant and the

When they found them there was

The enemy had been around bend

busy with the snipers. Two men who

Death Not In Vain.
II was glorious death but sad
one because q few minutes after the
shell landed. the Boche had been
obliged to retire. Another half an
hour, and the heroic pair would have
been safe But they had not died In
vain. The company that they had
held at bay carried back to the Ger
man lines story of American hero
ism that will do much to convince the
Boche that the men from across the
sea are going to decide the war. The
sacrifice of these two lives will save
others.
They called on the Y. NJ. c. A. man
to help bury these two heroes. 1t was
not his first experience as member
of burial party because he had been
at the front all through the big push.
As he aided in the burial he could not
help wishing that of all the thousands
engaged in that battle these two might

CHURCHES, NOT HARD TO FILL
Religious Ed!Hees In England Where
the Congregations Are Of Neces-
sity Rather Small.

There are many churches that at.
tract attention by their size and grand.
eur. There are few that are remark.
able by reason Of their smallness and
simplicity. One Of these is at Lulling.
ton. Sussex. England.
It Is q primitive and quaint stone
building with a roof OF red tiles and
tiny weatherboarded turret at Its west
end. This miniature church Is only 10
feet square.
Its pulpit Is pew with paneled
sides and door and the furniture is of
the plainest. Five narrow. diamond
paned windows give light to the int.
rior. When the church is full 80 per-
sons are gathered together.
Only little larger is the meeting
house at Crawshawbooth. a village
near Burnley. II Is known as the
Friends meeting house and Is covered
with ivy and surrounded by a we'll
cared-for burial ground. Inside may
be seen half dozen oak benches that
could, II necessary. accommodate 60
persons. The attendance is rarely more
than six.
Somewhat smaller than this chapel
Is one that has been called the shrine
Of Quakerism. 1t Is In the hamlet OF
Jordans, In Buckinghamshire. Thither

illuminating GAS
QUITE ECONOMICAL
It Would Be Cheaper Than Case
line as Motorcar Fuel.
British Government Committee Finds
1t Can Be Effectively and Prompt
ly Substituted Without Very
Much Trouble.

The British governments committee
| on gas traction has issued report ir
favor of Illuminating gas for motor
cars. 1t finds that ordinary city gas
can be effectively, safely and promptly
substituted for gasoline as fuel in in
ternal combustion engines of the COM
mon automobile types without chang
ing the compression space in the cyl
inders, New York Commercial states.
Gas is economical, $50 feet of it
being equal to an imperial gallon Of
motor spirit, or gasoline. The British
imperial gallon 10 equal to one and
One-quarter American standard gal
Ions, so 200 feet of gas can be sub
stituted for our gallon. With gas at
81 per 1000 cubic feet, the equivalent
Of gallon of gasoline would cost 20
cents, and gas would be cheaper than
gasoline on this basis If charging fee
Of % cents a thousand feet were
levied.
If 1t becomes necessary to do so,
gas could be substituted without trou-
BILE, according to this English report:
City gas would be simpler to use once
the slight necessary changes were
made, because 1t would be uniform In
quality and it would mix readily and
perfectly with air at all temperatures
and under all atmospheric conditions.
We must make all sacrifices neces-
sary for winning the war, but it would
be foolish to make unnecessary ones
which disturb industries and incon-
venience the public.
New York gas companies have al
ready demonstrated the feasibility Of
using city gas in this way, and it will
be easy to follow what has been done
in England. The automobile plays too
important a part in modern life to be
laid aside, even temporarily, in war
time If it can be avoided. The ground
used to produce feed for horses in
America would furnish food for all
the soldiers we shall ever send across
the seas, so the greater the substitu-
ton Of motorcars for drawn vehicles
the more food will be available for
human beings. There seems to be no
good reason for limiting the use of
automobiles and motortrucks when
city gas, alcohol and benzOl can take
the place of gasoline.

SILENT CHAINS ON INCREASE
Not Amiss to Remind Automobile Own
er That These Parts Should Be
Cleaned Often.

The tendency toward the use of ST.
lent chains seems to be increasing. 1t
may not be amiss then, to remind the
car owner that these parts should be
cleaned frequently, especially when
they run in an exposed position as in
some starter and generator installa-
lions. The proper method of proce-
dure is to remove the chain from its
place, submerge it In kerosene oil for
Is minutes. Then dry it thoroughly
and next submerge it in a medium
grade of lubricating oil, permitting 1t
to remain in the bath until the oil has
reached every bearing surface. Hard
grease never should be employed as o
chain lubricant.

GOOD RULES FOR
new AUTO OWNER
Most Accidents Are AvoidabIe
When Proper Care Has Been
Observed by Driver.
IGNORANCE ALSO IS BLAMED
Sojourn in Hospital May Be Averted
by Those Just Learning to Operate
Cars by Following Suggestions
of an Expert.

In almost every case automobile &C
cidents can be traced to some care
lessness on the part of the drivers
due to ignorance. Those who are be
ginning to drive their own automobiles
may save themselves a sojourn in q
hospital by learning and practicing The
following ten rules for drivers sug-
gested by Paul B. Huyette, president
Of the Motor club of Philadelphia:
1. Keep to the right, especially on
turns. This does not mean right CEN
ter. In the event of an accident, nine
times out of ten, if you're on the right
side, you're in the right.
2. Stay clear Of the tracks whenever
you can. You'll save tires as well as
the tempers of many in the trolley be-
hind. Remember that the tracks are
reserved chiefly and primarily for the
trolley.
Policeman Is Friend.
8. The traffic policeman Is your
friend. Remember him as such. Co
operate, don't hinder. The bluecoat
In the center of the street has the same
relation to you as the Waterman at a
railroad crossing.
4. Don't indulge In friendly races in
city streets. The results are too fire.
quently painful in more ways than
one.
5. Don't try to beat the "Stop-Go
sign just as the policeman Is chang
ing the signal. If you're travelling
south the driver of car going east
also may attempt to pass the coyner
as the sign turns.
6. Use your horn judiciously in warn
ing pedestrians. The average automo-
bile horn has an effect just the OPP
pOsite of what is desired; 1t frightens
and causes indecisiOn.
Z. You and your car will have q
longer life if you give the benefit of
doubt to the other vehicle. We need
more courtesy of the road anyhow.
The Long Island railroad says: Bet.
ter wait a minute at a crossing than
an hour in doctors Office.
Street Is Danger Tran.
s. A wet street is danger trail. On
rainy days most drivers are careful
The time to watch also is at night ir
spring and summer when you pass here
and there through street just flushed
when your tires, Of course. are with
out chains.
o. Be careful In leaving your car or
a steeply inclining street. There have
been three cases In as many weeks Of
automobiles plunging down thos'
streets.

dened with trials for offenders wht
might have avoided trouble easily Il
they had observed some simple regula
