BAND MAY SOON BE
 CALLED TO FRANCE

Carl Anderson, president of the Automobile club, reports that the 15Sth Infantry band, which is soon to tour of this state, will probably make on this occasion it's last public appear ance in Arizona before going to the front. Word from good authority states that the band may be called back to go to France before the tour is finished, as the troops at Camp Kearny are preparing to leave any moment.
 When not engaged in actual play ing on the battlefield, the band boys act as stretcher bearers and are thus engaged in the thickest and hardest of the fighting. The band boys give as much to the cause and work as hard as in any other branch of the service If the Arizona people realize that these young men will soon take an active part on the battlefields of France, their reception will undoubt- edly be large and inspiring.
 The Red Cross or the Thrift ac- tivities are preparing to entertain the boys in each town in which they will visit when in this state.-Arizona Republican.

HOUSEWORK 4 BURDEN

Woman's lot is weary one at best. But with backache and other distress ing kidney ills life indeed becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney Pills have made life brighter for thousands of women. Read what Mrs. Chas. Stein berg, 1341 E. Fillmore St., Phoenix, Ariz.. says: "I have used Doan's Kid ney Pills off and on for some time and they have always given me the best of results. At times when I have taken cold, it has settled on my kid neys and brought on severe backache. My kidneys have been weak and I have suffered with dizzy spells when specks have floated before my eyes, blurring my sight. My homework, like washing or ironing, becomes aw- fully hard for me at these times and any work that requires stooping al- ways aggravates the trouble. When ever have felt like this. I have used Doan's Kidney Pills and they have never failed to quickly remove every symptom of the trouble"

SLAV SLACKERS TO BE LET
 OUT OF PRESCOTT JAIL

Thirty-four Russian Molokans, the first group of Maricopa county resi- dents convicted as slackers under the selective draft act when they refused to register because of religious ob- jections, will be released from the Yavapai county jail June 8. These men, sentenced on Aug. of last year to one years imprisonment, will gain their freedom after ten months of servitude, the reduction of two months being granted for good behavior.
 Six of the thirty-four men will be immediately re-arrested upon gaining their freedom, it is expected, because they have refused to fill out the ques- tiionaires, as required under revised federal regulations. The remaining twenty-eight have complied with the selective service regulations in this respect, it is stated, and as a result will be granted their freedom.
 This group of men were not eligi- ble for military service under the se- lective draft regulations. Not only were they non-citizens, but they were religious objectors as well, but under the registration act, they were obliged to register so that the government authorities could grant the proper ex- emption. Although several efforts were made to influence the men to comply with the act, they stoutly re- fused and were arrested by federal authorities.
 During the days of their trial be- fore Judge Sawtelle in the federal court other members of this religious sect paraded the streets of Phoenix and appeared at the federal building fin large numbers, singing and danc- ing as is their custom.-Prescott Journal Miner.

pick up all manner of diseases from the decayipg matter over which it walks.
 The fly also carries disease germs on other parts of its body. Its wings and hair are frequently laden with germs.
 The germs of typhoid are given off in large numbers in the discharges of patients. Flies often feed on tbis ma terial. Their feet and bodies become smeared with germs. The insect car ries them into the dining room and deposits them on the bread that some one is about to eat or washes them off in baby's milk into which it may fall.
 The germs of tuberculosis are given off in large numbers in the spitum of patients. Flies gain access. to this spitum and may leave it loaded with germs of consumption.
 Dysentry and infantile diarrhoea is carried in the same way. Disease bearing is not limited to the intestinal germ diseases, however. 1t is said that opthalmia or blindness, smallpox and other of the better known communic- able diseases have been traced to the fly.
 Where actual laboratory proof does not exist, circumstantial evidence is very strong. One investigator esti- mated the number of germs on a single fly, and his studies led him to place the figures at 6,600,000.

MARVEL OF AUTOMOBILE
 WAS FORECAST BY EDISON

Thomas A. Edison, the electrical wizard, was the first we'll known American to prophecy that the auto mobile would revolutionize transporta- tion. Nearly twenty-five years ago he is quoted in the New York World: "The horseless vehicle is the coming wonder. Ten years from now we will be able to buy a horseless vehicle for what you would have to pay today for a wagon and a pair of horses. The money spent in the upkeep of the horses will be saved. A great inven- tion, which facilitates commerce, en- riches country just as much as dis covery of gold" Looking back from the pinnacle of 1918 automobile de- velopment, it must be source of great satisfaction to automobile manu- lecturers to know that his prediction was conservative rather than radical. ---Ex.

And yet our government will repay us with 4 per cent interest compounded quarterly. When the boys come back can we look them in the eyes as we meet them and say: q did all I could for you ?"

NO CHANGE IN SERVICE

There will be no change in the pas senger service between Phoenix and Los Angeles via Parker, notwith- standing the numerous rumors that trains Nos. IF and IS are to be taken off. The new time card has just been issued and these trains will run as heretofore. The passenger train over the Southern Pacific between Phoenix and Los Angeles has been taken off, and in the future all passenger traffic between the above points will come over the Parker cut off, necessitating and additional sleeper and chair car. Eleven million passenger miles have been taken off by the recent order of the government, 100000 miles hav- ing been clipped from the Santa Fe.-- Parker Post.

FRATERNAL ORDERS
 CONTRIBUTE TO RED CROSS

The Masonic, Odd Fellows and the Moose lodges each contributed $100 to the Red Cross during the present drive, and like amount was voted by Snowball Miners union of Oatman and in addition every man of the union gave one days pay. The members of the lodges are giving large individual subscriptions.
 At the meeting of the Elks lodge Friday evening the order voted to con tribute s200 to the Red Cross to back up their thirty-one members in the service.
 The local lodge spent close to $5,- 900 for war work last year and is sacrificing further by exempting all men in the service from paying dues, which greatly decreases the income of the lodge.-Kingman Mineral Wealth.

WILL TT HELP CHARLIE?

At a recent meeting held out west in the effort to organize Savings societies, among those present was one who has son in the war. The day of the meeting was very cold and there was some discussion in the family as to the fathers coming, when the soldiers little brother, hear ing the talk, quietly asked: "Will it help Charlie?" The father came.

ARMY LAW OBEYED;
DESERTER RESTORED

Aver, Mass, Aug. 13-How army
discipline was satisfied in trying the
case of a 16-year-old soldier who de-
serted in order to support his mother
and two small brothers, came to light
at Camp Devens yesterday.
Two days after Russell r. Vaughn
enlisted in Company 1, And Infantry,
at Council Bluffs, Ia, last August, he
received word from his mother that
his father was incapacitated for work
and that she and the children were
dependent on charity.
Without the formality of applying
for leave the boy went home and for
six months supported the family. The
day his father was able to resume
work Russell gave himself up to the
military authorities at Fort Omaha.
The case was so plainly against the
boy when he was courtmartialed for
desertion that the court was obliged
to sentence him to three years at
hard labor, forfeiture of pay and al
lowances and dishonorable discharge.
Major Barrett O'Hara, former lieu
tenant-governor of Illinois, now Judge
Advocate at Camp Devens, where the
regiment had been transferred mean
time, recommended clemency. The
sentence thereupon was mitigated to
six months at hard labor by Col
George L. Byroade, commandant al
the camp.
With all the requirements Of strict
army discipline fulfilled, Col. Byroade
in the next breath suspended the nit
| igated sentence and restored the boy
to his old place in his company with
bit of soldierly advice.

WAR CARRIED TO
ATLANTIC COAST
BY. SUBMARINES
Washington Believes Cam
paign of "Frightfulness"
is Planned by Huns.

Washington, Aug. 13-German sub
marines, which since May at intervals
of several weeks, have been attempt
ing to carry the campaign of fright
fulness" to America through the
sinking of vessels Off the Atlantic
coast, have decided to carry the war
to the shores of America.
This was the view taken by manv
officials today of the attempt by a
German submarine to gas the mem
bers of the crew of the Coast Guard
Station at Smiths Island, North
Carolina, last Saturday by spreading
oil from which mustard gas was gen.
Grated over the waters near the island.
Navy Department dispatches said
that although six members of the
Coast Guard crew We're overcome by
the fumes, no serious after effects
were noted.
At the Navy Department today it
was declared the new plan of war
fare being waged by the Germans
would be no more successful than the
attempts to destroy American ship
ping. Though thirty-one vessels
have been sunk by U-boats off the
Atlantic coast since May, most of the
ships have been small many only
being fishing schooners. and the loss
of life has been very slight.
Dispatches received by the depart
ment told of an attack by an Ameri-
can destroyer on an enemy submar-
inc one hundred miles off the Vir-
ginia coast, in which seventeen depth
bombs were dropped. after which
traces of oil were seen on the sur
face. Two more depth charges were
set off and the submarine was not
seen thereafter.
