MOTHER AND SON TO CAST ASIDE TEUTONIC NAMES
(From Thursday's OaiIv.)

Mrs. Grace F. Mittclberger and her son Sturgeon Prescott Mittelberger, of Clarkdalc yesterday filed petition, in the Superior court here asking that their names be changed to something less suggestive of the Teutonic, the mother desiring to acquire the name of Mrs. Grace F. Grace and the son wishing to be known hereafter as John Prescott Grace. These Hun sounding cognomons according to the complaints, carry with them a stigma of odium and disgrace among the ncighbors of the petitioners, all of whom are human, decent and re- spectable people. the Hun names be, ing in ill-repute because of the atroci- ties practiced by the German sol diers.
 Mrs. Manucla Rodriguez de Garcia, administratrix of the estate of the late Juan Garcia. yesterday filed her final account and asked for the courts permission to wind up the af- fairs of the estate.

LYLE ABBOTT IS
 PROMOTED TO CAPTAINCY
From Wednesdays Dailv.)

Lieutenant Lyle Abbott. former city editor of the Journal-AIi has just been promoted from Lieutenant to Captain. word to this effect hay ing reached here yesterday from Camp Travis, Texas, where the young officer is at present stationed. Captain Abbott's good luck came upon the hoodoo day of Friday the 18th, thereby upsetting the generally accepted belief that nothing except hard luck ever transpires on that oc- casion. Abbott received his lieuten- ancy at the time he completed his course in the officers training camp last winter, and his promotion comes about solely by reason of the fact that the young fighter has been one of the hardcst-working men in the southern camp.
 Jack Abbott, Captain Abbott's brother, has just landed in France, being a member of the l43d Field Artillery Jack was weltknown in Prescott and for long time was, the director of the orchestra at the Elks theater here
 While Lyle is somewhat inclined to beef at his hard luck in not being sent across the pond, he IS living in hopes that his turn will come somo of these days, and in writing to his mother, Mrs. ]. R. Abbott of Phoe- nix, regarding his promotion, he has the following to say:
 Camp Travis, Sept. l4, 1918. Dear Mother:-
 Friday, the thirteenth, was very unlucky day for the kaiser On that day Pershing busted the line. the new draft brought 100000 more men into military service, they made me a captain and everything.
 You will henceforth address mo as captain, care adjutant's office. Camp Travis, Texas.
 They showed me the telegram asI was on my way to breakfast, and I haven't had my breakfast yet. At noon I borrowed motorcycle and went home to flash my insignia on the family. Of course everybody had a series of duck fits.
 'I was sent cast with some troops. but was ordered back here, I have been put in charge of making all ship ments of troops out of Camp Travis and am located as assistant person. rel adjutant of the camp. At the end of my present duty I have hopes of getting into the 18th division for al trip across.
 Honestly, I don't believe I could come back home if I had spent all the war period in this country. Of course they have to keep officers here toI train and ship men. We were all recently warned against proffering any requests for change of station, so I don't dare make holler."

H|LLS|DEROAD FUSS TAKEN ID
 SUPERVISORS
BOARD IS ASKED TO OR DER VACATION OF OLD HIGHWAY WHICH w A s FENCED UP WHEN LAND WAS PATENTED.
(From Fridays Daily1

When number of interested part ies from Hillside appeared before the board Of supervisors this week for the purpose of attempting to straight en out a highway muddle, it develop ed that for the past few weeks the
 little settlement on the Santa Fe railroad has been in the throes of a war over one of the roads there which has caused a great deal of excitement and hard feeling.
 The story, as it was told to the board, was something like this:
 Morse Darnall and F. F. Marum both own stores in the little settle ment, and being engaged in the same business, are Of course rivals from a commercial standpoint. The old road. which is link on the Prescott Phoenix highway, has for years run past the store of Mir. Marum, and as he rival establishment was located a few rods off the road, the latter nat urally got less of the transient busi- ness than did the other one. Several months ago. however, Mir. Darnall, whose store was off the road, se- cured a patent on the land over which the old road passed, and at once pro ceeded to close the highway and establish q new one which ran in front of his place of business. This move left the Marum store high and dry off the beaten track of commerce, and the owner applied to the super visors in an effort to have the old road opened up again.
 When the board investigated the matter, it was found that unfortunate iv for Mir. Marum, the old road. while it had been used as a high way for nearly 50 years, had never and that therefore, the man who had patented the land had the right to close it if he so desired. The county ir years past has spent considerable sums of money in making improve mcnts on the road. but 1t seems that this has all gone for naught because the county had never officially laid claim to the thoroughfare. The legis- lative session of 1901 made a provi- sion that all roads which up to thar time had been open for public travel were after that year to automatically become county or State property, but it is said that through some over sight. the stretch of pike at Hillside was never after that included in the county system.
 The supervisors are not yet sure that they have any right to take a hand in the Hillside imbroglio, all though some of them are of the opinion that they should make Mir. Darnall a reasonable offer for the purchase of the part of his newly acquired property as will be neces- sary to allow the road to be re- opened The new owner, however, is said to be very adverse to selling any of his land to the county and maintains that the route will continue to run past his store. It is likely that the board could condemn the land and order it vacated but in view of the fact that the new road IS to all practical purposes as good as the old one, it is rot believed that the board will he inclined to worry very much more about the matter.

inent in the 1916 campaign, is begin ming to appear again this year, and thousands of Arizona men are al- ready wearing the buttons, and thou sands of women are wearing the pins. The demand has been so great that it has been impossible to meet it, but an additional supply is on the way, and there will be a camel for every loyal supporter of the Republican nominee for governor.
 Fight For Control.
 Anti-Hunt Democrats are making a big fight for the control Of the Democratic party council which meets next Monday in the hope that they may be able to name a candidate for governor in place of Golfer, but there seems to be little liklihood that this movement will meet with success as the Hunt forces took steps in most counties to see that county commit tees favorable to Hunt were selected The members of the state commit tee are chosen bv the county com mittee.

Gov, ernor Hunt have definitely announc, ed that they will stand pat and if it becomes necessary to call a special session of the legislature to repeal the salary increase and thus make Golfer eligible.

ten years. Cannot tell where I am with the command, but we are now at it with the Hun. Was surprised to learn, q few days ago that an old acquaintance of mine at Prescott. is captain of one of the companies drafted from Siskiyou county, which is operating on the left wing, having been detached from our, the - Division. His name IS Ed. Mitchell, and it seems like it is hard to dodge an Arizonan anywhere one goes. am sure it is Captain Nit chell of Prescott, as a courier stat ed he knows him and other officers of the brigade who once were in Ari- zona I will bump into him at the first opportunity which will be any day or as soon as the patrols are called ino headquarters.'
 Corporal Fuller made this section of Arizona his home for about two years, and incidentally stated he sup ported the above officer when he ran for county attorney of Yavapai. He returned to Siskiyou county to regis ter and was drafted. He also stated there are over 75 officers from Camp Lewis, Washington, who have been detached to fill vacant units in sev- eral companies from Northern Cali fornia. which accounts for Captain AIitchell's present assignment in the division selected from states border ing on Washington.

Fame and Shyness.

In his book, "A Soldiers Memories, 3"
Sir George YounghusDand tells a typi-
cal story Of Rudyard Kipling and Cecil
Rhodes.
1t was during the Boer war, when
they came to camp and introduced
themselves uncOnventionally. As they
were leaving the soldiers gathered to
see and cheer them.
Said Cecil Rhodes hastily:
"Take off your cap; they are cheer
ing you"
Said Rudyard Kipling:
NO, they are not. They are cheering
you. Take off your cap"
Then some one at their elbow sug-
gested
Il think they are cheering you both"
Whereupon both, clinging close to-
gether for support, shyly took off their
caps.

SPECIAL RATES TO
AUTOMOBILE SHOW

Portland, Ore, Jan. 2S.-Special
rates will be granted by the railroads
to the coming big Portland Automo-
bile, Truck and Tractor Show, which
will be held in the new city Audi
torium from February to 10, inclu-
sive.
The war has emphasized the eco
nomic importance of the automobile
as never before. One Of the main
purposes of this automobile show will
be to demonstrate the many ways in
which the passenger automobile, the
truck and the farm tractor can help
business and industry and thereby
add to the war resources of the ma
tion.
All the latest passenger car models
will be shown, but the truck and the
farm tractor, particularly, will have
place of honor at the show. The
farm tractor has AIDED tremendously
to the agricultural efficiency of
France and Great Britain. In fact,
farm tractors have helped so greatly
to defeat the German submarine cam
paign by making possible the cultiva-
tion of increased acreage for food
production, that the French and Brit
ish governments have placed huge or
ders in this country for still more of
them.
The United States government is
encouraging the use of tractors and
trucks to offset the growing shortage
OF manpower and horses and to in
crease food production and business
efficiency. Added to this is the fact
that they are cheaper to operate than
horses doing only small part of the
work.
A large attendance from outside
points is expected during Automobile
Show week. Special arrangements
are being made for the reception of
dealers and other visitors from out
side of Portland.

WHEN MEN GROW OLD.
One Sure Sign Is Said to BE an In
ereasng Waistline.

One Sure Sign Is Said to Be an In
eroa5ins WaistIine.
When does man get old? What are
the signs? Some will say instantly
gray hair, badness. stiff knees, short
ness Of breath, and so on. An eastern
authority rejects all of these as proofs
Of age and cites doctors to prove that
there are two invariable signs-an in
creasing waist line and decrease of
physical agility. These indications may
not show themselves until a man is
forty or fifty. but they may manifest
themselves at twenty-five. Whatever
the time, the man is old.
This is rather an arbitrary ruling, but
it has a sane basis no doubt. There
are many men. of course, who by force
of nature rather than any care Of their
own. retain a spareness Of figure until
they are far along In life and usually
with this sllnness is activity of move
ment. But the average man not en-
gagged in active physical labor that
keeps supertluous flesh down is ex-
tremely likely to develop increased
girth in comparatively early years, and.
whether or not 1t classes him among
the old or even elderly, it does take him
out of the realm Of youth. However
youthful man may feel, no one longer
mistakes him for a boy when that big
waist line comes.-lndianapo Star.

One Armed DAILY.

Among Americans who have achieved
athletic prominence, though minus an
arm or leg, Hugh DAILY, the phenomenal
one armed pitcher for the Cleveland Ma
tional league team in the early eighties,
is perhaps the best known. The older
generation of baseball fans remember
Days pitching was unusually CLASSY
The records show that in 1888 he pitch
ed no hit game against Philadelphia,
and the next year he established an
average strike out record for one~sea-
son that still holds good.
During that year he took part in fifty
four games and struck out AGA batsmen,
giving him an average of $50 per cent.
The nearest approach to this record
was that Of the late Rube Waddell,
who pitched thirty-nine games in 1914,
famed S23 batters and made percent
age of $50. Exchange.
