K|WAN|S HEAR HOW
 DUR MEN IN FRANCE
 WERE ENTERTAINED

Some insight of the difficulties of entertaining the American fighting men at the front, often under fire, was given members of the Kiwanis club at their noon luncheon yesterday by D. C. MacIver, a Y M. c. A. man who served nine months with the boys at the front. MT. Maclver, incidentally, was formerly Precott mining man.
 MT. MacIver told many tales of the way the American soldiers were enter tained, often in the trenches and under severe fire, and their morale thus kept up, by the Y. NJ. c. A. Shows, some times improvised were given, and smokers arranged, with boxing and wrestling events. Y. M. c. A. enter tainers constantly visited the various units and put on entertainments to keep the boys cheerful and amused.
 MT. MacIver related many interesting tales of the entertainers, the entertain ments, and the men themselves. Most of the entertainments given for the men at the front took place within five kilometers of the front, and hence gen. erally under fire. The speakers told of one instance when a German shell carried away the top of tent in which an entertainment was being given.
 l.. W. White of the Arizona Fire In surance company was chairman of the day at the Kiwanis lunch yesterday. A talk boosting the Salvation Army fund drive and telling of the army'S great work at the front in France was given by Edwin R. Powell, who served with the United States Marines at the battle of Chateau Thierry.

THOSE WHO |NJURE
 COUNTY HIGHWAYS
 WILL BE PROSECUTED

A warning was issued yesterday from the state and county road de- partments relative to driving of trac- tors and farm machinery with Jugs on the wheels over paved roads, either oil or cement In issuing the warning, the county made the statement that it proposed prosecuting anyone who dis regarded the warning on the charge of destroying state and county property.
 w. K. Bowen, chairman of the board of supervisors, said that business men dealing in tractors and farm ma chinery would be notified and that farmers would be advised not to buy machinery unless protected by a de- vice that will prevent injury to the highways.
 MT. Bowen believes that an effort should be made on the part of every one to provide for good roads, and when secured they should not be mu- tilated. He declared that the county will make a strenuous fight to protect it's highways.
