THIS ARIZONAN CAN
 EASILY GO OVER THE TOP
(From Thursdays paiIy.l

An arrival yesterday from the But ternut camp near Huron brought news that Ed O'Donnell was prepar- ing to quit his vocation as miner and would soon enter the army, his application for enlistment having been forwordcd several days ago. He is anxious to be attached to the mine engineering corps, a new organization created for special and dangerous field work, of which his friend, Thomas Arnold. is member, station cd at Camp Meade. Maryland.
 O'Donncll is dcsirably equipped from a physical standpoint for this service, being one of the best of miners, and is immune from any Hun gas wave ever generated, having eaten for the past ten years plenty of the nauscous powder smoke in lower levels of score of mines, and thriv- ed. But his main qualification is due to his altitude. He can step on a cigarette paper and tip the high beam at exactly feet. AZ inches, while his arm reach is A inches. So 1t can easily be pcrcicved that O'Donncll can swing over the top in jiffy, and grab with his mits any enemy who may be hiding low in the trenchc, without danger to his person. He and arnold have entered into com pact that after the war they will pros pcct the Ural mountains of Russia for gold and copper mines. He IS await ing adviccs from Fl Paso, Texas, and his only alarm is over his heighth, which is restricted to not exceed what he actually measures. q have fixed that all right, and five affidavits have gone forward" he joyously in- formed friends few days ago.

All movable furniture to be used in the courthouse IS covered in the contract, including all desks, tables. chairs, waste baskets. cuspi- dors. etc. The contract provides that the articles must be ready for deliv- cry into the new county building within q period of % days.

This musical organization few years ago sang in all the principal cities of Europe and was acknowledged to be the leading choir of its character. Ar have been perfected by the Knights of Columbus to have the choir sing in the cantonmcnts where ever possible, at the expense of the order, thus showing the devotion of members of this order to the govern ment and the entertainment of the soldier boys.

 Horse and mule receipts total al most the same for 1917 and l9l6, all though there was marked decrease in receipts at Northeastern cities and big increase in Southern cities. These changes in receipts are said to reflect the increased prosperity of the South and the big demand for horses and mules in the fall for use on cotton plantations. Government war purchases may have affected the city totals in some instances.
