There are fewer new cases Of
influenza, according to reports

to avoid exposure unnecessarily,
the health officials feel that the

entirely upon the carefuiness of

HELP RAILROAD WORK

ANCHORAGE, June $3.50 as to
insure the completion this season of
that part of the government railroad
between Seward and Anchorage,
which towns are about ia miles
apart, night shifts of construction
gangs have been put to work Day
nights inurc greatly to the progress
of operations.
When the laying of steel was ended
as result of bad weather early last
winter, the rails extended north from
Seward to Girdwood, a distance of
nearly seventy-four miles, and south
from Anchorage to Falls Creek, a
distance of about twenty-three miles.
The intervening distance between the
two ends of steel was about seven
teen miles.
Some difficulty is experienced in
obtaining laborers. The demand for
men to close the gap between Seward
and Anchorage is greater now than
the supply.

Steps are now being taken by this So

The numerous circles of this order
are excellent mediums for disseminate
ing instruction in food saving, accord

thus be increased for our soldiers and
allies and the public will become ia
miliar with the wartime recipes, ~

NEEDLES MAN BUILDS
 UNIQUE MOTOR BOAT

A motor boat of entirely new de. sign, remarkable for the simplicity of it's construction and excellent work
 padded down the river from Needles last Saturday, on trial trip, and stopped short time down at the landing west of town. This boat was built and is owned by Bud Norton, of Needles, and the idea is all his own. It is nothing more nor less than plain, ordinary river boat with a plain, ordinary Maxwell automobile mounted on the rear end of the boat. The makeup for navigation is very simple. The auto is run by its own power into proper position upon the boat. There it is securely held in po- sition by iron clamps. On the hind wheels. is bolted or clamped series of blades or paddles, and that's all there is to it. The change is made in a very short time. In navigating, the chauffeur or pilot takes his seat on the automobile, turns on the power, and steers the craft the same as he would on land, simple arrangement

Some of the former residents of Arizona have organized an Arizona state society, and at the present time are engaged in the work of looking after the recreation and comforts of the Arizona enlisted men in San Diego and vicinity. Camp Kearney is situat- ed within twelve miles of the city and the enlisted men from the camp have three liberty days a week, Wednes- day, Saturday and Sunday. On these days the men go to San Diego for the purposes of finding recreation from their arduous duties at the camp, and it is the purpose of the society to make it just as pleasant for the boys on their liberty days as they possibly can before they go to the front.

VERDE WOMAN OF ss
 IS DOING HER BIT

Camp Verde boasts very high percentage of loyal patriotic Ameri- can citizens, and each one feels that he has an all important part in this great war for democracy. The Red Cross chapter has been doing such commendable work here, especially one of the members, Mrs. Mary E. Reid, is deserving of great credit. Mrs. Reid, more familiarly known as Grandma Reid" has knitted II pairs of sox for the soldiers since last Oc-f tober. She had finished them by the first of February and during that time was seriously ill and unable to do anything for seven weeks.
 Few people in Yavapai county need an introduction to Grandma, as she is so well known, but for the benefit of those who have not met her, let me add short sketch of her life.
 Grandma will be 83 years old in May of this year. She is the mother of 13 children--six of whom are liv- ing. She has had A grandchildren, 46 great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren. There are few people living who can boast such a record.
 Grandma realizes the seriousness of war, too, as she lost two brothers and several cousins in the Civil war. Then, as now, she did her bit by knit ting for those who were called to fight.-Prescott Journal Miner.
