past three years riding deputy under
Sheriff l.. r. Yates, had resigned his

sively In the sheep business.
While deputy sheriff "Bill" Eller
always had his ear to the ground and
watchful eye for the breakers of

attempt strict law enforcement, he
aroused considerable opposition to him.

With the resignation of Mr. Eller
the remark has been made by a
staunch member Of the Democratic
party, What is the matter with the
democrats of Idaho county? First,
Superintendent Staley resigned then
Marsh Brown flew the COOP and was
closely followed by the resignation of
Commissioner Jay o. Rhoades, and
now Deputy Eller has quit What's
the use of electing men to office who
won't stick?"
In conversation with Sheriff Yates
no information as to Mr.. Eller's sue
cessOr could be cleaned, although he
stated that he had man in view and
that 1t was likely that he would ac-
cept the place. The rumor is current
on the street, however, that VIM.
Mundt, of WinOna, is slated for the
job. Mr.. Mundt comes from a pioneer
family, is well known and would make
a good officer.

HINTS To BEE-kEEPERS
BY 3. A. Hadsell of Buckeye

If not already done. examine every
colony and see that they have plenty of
honey to carry them through the VIM
ter, also sufficient to breed upon until
our next honey flow Remember it will
take from Is to 80 pounds according
to location. if you have plenty of buck
brush to bloom in February and March
balanced by water motors and willows
to run them until the mesquite blooms
Is to 20 pounds may do, but if your bees
must wait until alfalfa blooms the sec
ond crop it may take 80 to As pounds.
Remember, where alfalfa has plenty
of rain or irrigation during winter and
spring, it is so rank and the bloom so
long that the bees cannot reach the
honey of first crop. But as the weather
gets hotter the bloom is shorter and
the bees can reach il, unless the
rancher overirrigates it. II so, he
ruins his seed crop and the honey crop
also, as the bees do not fortilize it.
To illustrate: Some years ago the
Arizona dam was out and the alfalfa
stunted in the Salt River valley. The
beekeepers secured big crop of honey
and the farmers good crop of seed
from first crop. Our Buckeye valley
was more fortunate in having irriga-
ton water during the winter and
spring. But we, as beekeepers. got no
honey or seed from first crop of alfalfa
but u good crop of both from the see
ond crop. Equalize the honey now
among your bees; if short, kill you.

PHOENIX SPENT
QUIET DAY. Of
THANKSGIVING
Influenza Epidemic, Mask
Order And Amusement
Places Closed Caused Peo-
pie To Spend Day Home

The quietest Thanksgiving day IN us
history probably was that which Phoe-
nix experienced yesterday.
Battling with the epidemic OF Span
ish influenza which has resulted III the
closing of the schools, churches, NOV
ing picture theaters and other places
of business, the city was forced TO
spend a quiet day.
The usual union Thanksgiving serV-
ice, q feature of all previous Thanks
givings, was omitted, much to the re-
greet of all church going people. In It's
place there were many home services,
several of the churches having pre-
pared special Thanksgiving day leaf
lets to aid in such services.
Nowhere to Go
There was little to attract the people
from the comfort of their homes to the
cold outside, for yesterday was one oil
the coolest days of the season. Tne
highest point the mercury in the Their
mometer at the weather bureau
reached yesterday was 54, an unusual
record for Phoenix.
There were no moving picture thea
tiers to attend, they also being under
the ban. The streets were not filled
with the usual holiday crowd. With
the influenza mask order in force. the
people preferred to remain indoors
rather than decorate themselves with
the gauze mask and run the gauntlet
of derision and influenza.
But despite the fact that the day was
an transformations one, without the
usual football game, the chrysan-
themum, the jolly crowds, the people
had better cause for Thanksgiving than
for many years, although at many a
table there were empty chairs, but ii
was the knowledge that these absent

ANGELS Of Mercy

Two ministering angels, IN

county Jail. That is, they were un-
awares that they were to become
ministering angels.
They are Fred Wilson and Tom
Jones, detained to answer to a

arrested at Mesa on Wednesday
night by City Marshal Warren,
having at the time of their arrest
in their possession 120 pints of
whiskey. They were brought to
this city by Deputy Sheriff Charles
MusgroVe.
Their cargo was intended to en-
liVen Thanksgiving day which, to
many persons deprived of alcoholic
stimuIants, threatened to be dull
and drab.
But the 100 pints of whiskey thus
suddenly added to the stock in the
possession of Sheriff Wilky has
been diverted to another and better
use. Il will be employed in the al

START TODAY To
ARREST PEOPLE
WITHOUT MASKS
Thanksgiving Holiday And
Closing Of Justice Offices
Prevented The Strict En-
forcement Yesterday

The second day of the health order
making compulsory the wearing of in
fluenza masks passed in quiet yester-
day. with no arrests of Violators of the
regulation. For the most part, the or
der was obeyed by the few persons who
appeared downtown yesterday.
Although it had been previously an
nounced complete enforcement of the
order, under pain of arrest, would be
made yesterday, it was decided not TO
make any arrests of violators until to-
day. This action was taken by Chief
of Police Brisbois at the request of
County Attorney Laney, after it had
developed Municipal Judge Thomas
! had no jurisdiction over the cases,
which must be tried under a state
/ statute in justice of the peace court
/ AS no justice courts were held yester
| day, rigid enforcement of the order was
| postponed.
Watch Out Today
| Beginning this morning, however, it
was positively stated last night, the
order will be stringently enforced, and
I all persons who appear without masks
/ in the proper position will be prose-
/ cuted The penalty for violation of the
order is fine not to exceed 500 or 80
days in Jail, or both.
| On account of the few persons who
came downtown yesterday, it was diff
! ficult to judge just how closely the or
| der was being obeyed. BY far the
! greater part of the people to be seen
/ on the streets were accompanied by the
/ mni-present mask, but it is certain
/ there were many violations. Masks
were permitted to dangle around the
neck and some persons did not bother
to carry them at all-probably after it
had leaked out there would be no ar
rests.
No Report of Cases Yesterday
In drug stores the demand for ready
made masks dropped in proportion TO
the lessened number of people to buy
them. Supplies were well maintained,
and at present there seems to be 10
possible shortage, so long as a number
OF masks are made at home, as has
been the case.
On account Of yesterday being a iicli-
day, no report of the number of influ-
enZa cases in the city was made. The
surveys and the reports will be re-
sumed today. however, it was an
nounced by the citizens committee.
After ten days since the formation
of the committees of physicians and
citizens for the stringent enforcement
of health rules in an effort to halt the
spread of the Spanish influenza il

judge of the effect of the campaign.

PROTESTS AGAINST

That the methods of Germany in her

thing for America, Mrs. Guild also in
sists that Germany would profit in the
end If the imported toys should be re-

is what Germany needs. declares the
club woman. Defeat in world war and
in economic war.

meets inthe near future, although sew
eral delegates Will be present from var
ious states to protest the importation
