A Case of Nervous Breakdown

To counteract the adverse ru-
mors that have been in circulation
in regard to a well-known citizen,
DIR. R. f. Franklin, the Signal
deems it no more than fair to him
as we'll as to inform his friends of
the situation, to give the facts in
the case as justified by the out
come. DR.. Franklin, who has been
practicing here but a comparative
1y short time, but who is we'll
known in. the county, suffered a
nervous breakdown last week and
under he counsel of friendly ad-
visors voluntarily accompanied an
officer to Tombstone and subm tilted
to a sanity examination. =
At the examination it developed
that the doctor was perfectly sane,
but on account Of his overwrought,
nervous condition, the physician
in the case advised temporary treat
ment in the county hospital at
Douglas. This decision was readily
accepted by DR.. Franklin, who af-
ter a short stay in the hospital re-
turned here this week.

The Young man enlisted in the reg
ular army soon after war was de-

able discharge at Camp Pike, Ark.
He was with the 18th Infantry, a
part of the Eighth Division, and

battle front in France, but was dis
appointed in his desire to go across.
A part of the Eighth Division went
across, but before his regiment was
due to sail the arlnistice interviewed
and it was held on this side.
Mr.. Skinner, located a home
stead near town some time before
entering the army, and as his time
as a soldier counts as residence he
has much more to his credit than
necessary to make final proof on
his claim, which he expects to do
at once.

The old saying about a small
amount of prevention being worth
a great deal of cure applies even to
the management of grazing lands.
1t is much better, and even easier,
if care and forethought are exer-
cised, to prevent lands from being
overgrazed than to bring them back
into good condition after overgraz-
ing has been allowed. How to re-
cognize overgrazing in the begin
ming and how to prevent it are

Developments in Road Commis.
sion Situation

At meeting of the Supervisors
in Tombstone last Saturday. with
Chairman Adams and Supervisor
Roberts present, and Supervisor
Sparks absent, the board appointed
a new highway commission to take
the place of the commission ousted
by them at their last meeting when
they disapproved the minutes of
their previous meeting appointing
l. w. Wallace, of Bisbee, Emil
Marks. of Lowell, A. Y. Smith,
of Pearce, w. ]. Reay, of Douglas,
and Thos. Fulghum, of Wilcox,
as members of the new Cochise.
county highway commission.
The latest new commission, to
take the place of the one ousted by
the action above referred to IS COM
posed of w. H. Fisher, of Doug
las; M. F. Discus, Of Douglas;
Dan Seed, of Bisbee; 7. D. Full
ghum, of Wilcox, and T. S. Bow
en-, of Webb.
- It is said that the newest new
commission will proceed upon the
assumption that they are the real
and only yard wide and a1l-wool
commissioners and at once begin
~the work of laying out a program
of construction. This, it is said,
will be done regardless of the fact
that the first commission appointed
are to take legal action against the
board, claiming that they are the
duly qualified commission.
Following a meeting for organi
cation in Bisbee Tuesday,, the new
appointees met in Douglas Wednes-
day and selected M F. Discus as
chairman, and Dan Seed secretary.
Sid Smyth was appointed engineer.
A report sent out from Douglas,
says: 4,.-~
Mr.. Fulghum, accompanied by
Chas. M. Roberts, member of the
board of Supervisors, who attended
the meeting, reached Douglas last
night, en- route to their homes at
Wilcox. Besides giving out the
mere fact that the commission was
regularly organized, they refused
to talk for publication on this phase
of road matters.
That's for the other fellows to
say" said Mr.. Fulghum, when
asked whether or not the members
of the so-cal1ed September commits
sion of which he was a member in
tended to make a legal fight to
maintain the legitimacy of the
claim that they comprise the 1egit-
innate highway body, as has been
threatened.
Senator Roberts was as equally
evasive. He would talk of roads,
road work. road conditions and
prospects, but not about the high
way commission.

Mines Are Made

Once in a great while surface
deposit of mineral is discovered
from which fortunes are recovered
almost from the grass roots. Such
cases are exceptional however, and
furnish no logical precedent which
should govern regular mining oper-
ations, for it is we'll known fact
that mines are made. and not
| found.
1t is true that groupings and
lodges are discovered, usually by
the tireless and indomitable pros
pector, that give promise of be-
coming producing, paying mines
with exploitation and development:
but it usually it usually takes years
and the expenditure of large sums
of money in their development and
equipment before even return of
the outlay is made, if ever, for it is
not every cropping that covers
paying ore body, or vein or ledge
that contains valuable deposits of
the precious metals or minerals.
This being the case. there is a
vast difference between a prospect
and a mine. A difference that is
not often realized by the prospector
who, upon making a discovery of
a promising prospect, allows his
imagination to fly to such an ex
tent that he often fools himself in
to the belief that his bare location
is in reality a rich and producing
mine, and he cannot be induced to
part with his prospect except at
figures that would cover the pur-
chase price of a dividend-paying
bonanza; losing sight of the fact
that thousands must be expended
before profits can be recorded, even
should the prospect really be the
making of a mine. Mining Re-

Dollars and Ducks

It is we'll for young men to know that dollars are like ducks-one follows another-and though they may waddle along slowly and with some effort, they will eventually get there.
 We have young men in Newark who are just starting out on the road of life but where that road will lead is for them to say.
 They are earning a few dollars now and as time progresses their earning capacity will in- crease. If the early accumulations are thrown to the birds it is more than likely that in later life the buzzards will roost on the graves of their ambition.
 But if their first dollars are carefully talk en care of, and this lesson of thrift and frugal ity is fostered and encouraged, then in time the bank will become the depository of their earn ings and accumulations and eventual wealth, and the eagle will soar over the heads of sue cessful men,
 Those who waste today will squander to- morrow, and tomorrow is the agent of the devil.
 Keep an eye on the young men of our town but keep both eyes on those who spend wisely but not foolishly, who are full of life and gin ger but never carry it to excess whose eyes are fixed upon the eagle and not upon the buzzard
 Like the waddling duck, they may advance slowly, but they will get there in time

The Uses of AdUersify

Nothing is truer than that continued and sustained prosperity will enervate and under mine the physical, mental and moral stamina of any people. The human animal is all too prone to over-indulge in the good things of life Put man on his mettle to wrest existence from a reluctant world, and in the effort every fibre of his being is necessarily developed to the ut termost and he emerges an nvincible specimen of the fighter.
 So with nations Given all that heart can wish, and left to revel unhindered in the indul- gence of that plenty, the national fibre must inevitably deterioate
 Any crisis that jars men out of their ease cannot fail to work good to the people. With no disposition to minimize the evils of the cent war, yet we are bound to realize that the world is waking up to a view of life that it had well-nigh lost. Life is a struggle, and when struggling ceases, decay sets in.
 When the smoke of the present conflict has cleared away and the world takes stock of results, we will be found to have learned many valuable lessons. One great loss is inevitable that of heroic lives that must of necessity be sacrificed. This is deplorable Yet these lives will have been given in the most glorious of cause.-the renewing and vitalizing of the life of the nations
 From the dawn of history to the present day, many people have professed to deride and scoff at the scriptural virtues of renunciaton and self sacrifice. Yet the decree remains as unalterable today as when enunciated by the Man of Gallilee th at "Whoseyer losath hio Iifo shall find it."
 We of America have not yet touched the edge of real renunciation. We have given only of a superabundance. It is when the giving as- sumes the nature of sacrifice that the real good to the people is realized. We repeat, the sacrifice of life is deplorable, and we would it could have been averted. There is but one great CT calamity that could befall us, that is that we should fail to measure up to the opportunity now knocking at our door.

Much Talk is Only Noise

Some people talk much and do little. Oth- CTS talk little and do much. A few are betwixt and between and never succeed in setting them selves or the world afire.
 There is, however, happy medium which will afford us the necessary outlet for our thoughts and yet serve the good of the com munity at large.
 Don't be clam, and don't be a big noise. Talk when you feel like it, but talk sense and talk to people who have sense. When we do that we will gradually bring to the surface the good points in each other; we will open up op- portunites for the development of the com munity, and will be able to hit upon the means Of pushing our town along.
 The man who talks little but says much when he does talk is often silent when a little talk from him would accomplish wonders. On the other hand, the big noise is known only as a noise, and commonds about as much atten- ton and remembrance as passing gust of wind.
 Talk up, but speak gently and to the point You will be both heard and needed.

Conditions and prospects in the principal countries of the world justify the statement that for the staple food products grown in the United States there will prevail for some time a strong demand and that prices will probably continue steady and at a high level.
