WYOMING ELK INCREASE

Adopting Arizona as their home, Wyoming elk, brought to this state in 1913 and turned loose in the national forests of northern Arizona, have be come acclimated and have increased in numbers until these animals are to be found in many parts of the state, according to information brought to State Game Warden Willard by his deputies.
 The members of the Elk lodges of Arizona were responsible for the first shipment of elk from Wyoming to this state. To these were added two car loads brought from the same state this year by MT. Willard. These were liberated in the eastern part of the state. All have thrived and are ap. parently contented with their new home

SOLDIER VOTE
 NOT BARRED
OPINION FROM ATTORNEY GEN. ERAL JUST MADE PUBLIC RULES BALLOTS MAY BE SENT SOLDIERS ANY TIME.

That the limit of 40 days before election in which the certified ballots must be sent to the absent Arizona soldiers, according to the legislative act passed at the last special ses- sion, is no bar to the vote of those soldiers, is the opinion of the attor- ney general office, given out this week. The assistant attorney gener- al, F. J. K. Mcbride, rules that the ballots may be sent to the soldiers as soon as printed and prepared for the mails and that their vote may be taken and counted.
 The 4O-day limit expired last Fri day. At that time there were two counties in Arizona from which the official returns of the primaries of September 10 had not yet been receiv- ed. Thus it was impossible for the secretary of state to certify to the candidates nominated and have the ballots printed.
 Board Asks Opinion.
 According to the legislative act it was held by many that if these ballots could not be prepared and sent to the soldiers within that limit, the sol diers were barred from voting in the coming general election in November.
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-10-04

In answer to a letter sent by Clar- ence L. Standage, clerk of the board of supervisors of MaricOpa county, asking for ruling on the 40-day clause, the attorney generals office gave an opinion as follows:
 My dear MT. Standage:
 We have your letter of September 4th in regard to the Soldiers Voting Law, which you claim provides that ballots shall be mailed to the men in military service forty days before election, and in which you report that the Secretary of State has not yet made a canvass of the recent primary election, making it an impossibility to get the ballots made up, printed ana mailed within the forty days.
 Says Intent is Plain.
 The sections to which you refer are Section 4 and Section of the Sol diers' Voting Bill, and we are sure that the meaning of these sections ls very plain and that the intent of the legislature is clear to the effect that the clerk of the board shall prepare the blue envelopes as prescribed, at least forty days prior to any state wide primary or general election; and further, that it is the duty of the clerk of the board of supervisors to mail by registered mail, taking receipt there for, ballot to every qualified mflf tary voter whose name appears on the military register, at least forty days prior to the primary or general election.
 We take it that this "at least forty days from it's position in the sen. tence, and from the general content of the act, applies to the time of the closing of the military register in the clerks office and does not apply to the date on which the clerk shall mai the ballots To hold otherwise, would
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1918-10-04

be in rerogation of the rights con- ferred upon military voters by the act itself, inasmuch as it is of general knowledge that serious delays occur in making official returns from the various counties to the secretary of state. Fou will, therefore, be gov erned by this ruling, and at the earli- est possible moment, prepare from the secretary of states returns, the off, cial military ballot which should then be forwarded immediately to the men in military service.
 Fears Another Contest.
 It has been brought to our atten- tion that should one or the other of the great political parties of the state fail to secure the election of their nominee by means of the military vote, that the state might again be plunged into long drawn-out and costly legal contest, but as an Ameri- can, I cannot conceive of anyone who would for political purposes or other wise seek to place an obstacle of any

TO AVOID SPANISH INFLUENZA,
 WHICH IS LIKE LA GRIPPE

These suggestions are given by pr. A. w. Carnes, City Health Officer of Dallas, Texas, for the avoidance of Spanish influenza, which differs from the old and well-known malady, '1a grippe" only in degree, if at all, and possibly also in being somewhat more contagious:
 Keep out of crowded, congested
 public places as much as possible,
 and keep in the open, breathing
 fresh, pure air
 Avoid contact with persons sneez-
 ing and coughing, for by those
 means all catarrhal contagious
 are spread.
 Keep bodily secretions active
 and bowels open.
 If you begin to sneeze and
 cough, go home and stay there un-
 til you recover, for sneezing and
 coughing are the first symptoms,
 being followed by aching bones
 and fever, and other weIl-known
 symptoms of Ia grippe.
 For Those Affected.
 The great dangeY from la grippe, or Spanish influenza is in the result ant maladies. As with la grippe, the illness itself is not very serious, un- less it is allowed to develop into pneumonia or other complications. Consequently, the care of a physician is advisable and the patient should stay at home and in bed until he re- covers Pneumonia following la grip pc or Spanish influenza often proves fatal, and even if pneumonia does mol develop, lack of proper care during la grippe or Spanish influenza may result in other complications and catarrhal conditions that may be seri ous. La grippe or Spanish influenza either is most likely to affect the young or the aged or those below normal health, and for them also there is greatest danger of complica- tions and bad after effects.
 When stricken by the malady per sons should keep away from the public as much as possible and avoid Ispreading the disease; also they should cough. sneeze and expector- ate into their handkerchiefs. and not into the air around them. for some one else breathing the same air may thus get the contagion.
