tine. 1t reached there in a shipment
of European potatoes in 1911 or

watch his spuds, particularly at dig

growth, particularly at the eyes.
These growths may increase until
ultimately the entire tuber becomes a

Chicks May Eat ShavingS Used in
Hrnnhcr unusc.


The use of such litter as shavings,
cut excelsior and sawdust in the
brooder house is not advised if cut
hay or straw is available, because the
young chicks often eat some of their
bedding. Eating litter of this ma
ture develops crop trouble which Of
ten kills the young chicks, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The best cure is to prevent
by using short cut hay or straw for
bedding. 1t is soft and easy for the
chicks to scratch in and is a good alb
sorbent, while the hay, especially If
clover or alfalfa hay is used, is a good
bulky food for chicks in addition to
being readily dlgestible. Sand may
also be used in the brooder scratch
pens where cut hay is not available.

 Thus one of the best mines of the adjacent district will go under the hammer at a sheriff's sale and MT. Ramsdell, who has in the season of high prices of copper shipped more than carload daily, will be out of the property.
 Further, the judgment bars all oth- CT creditors from claiming any in terest or interfering in the sale of the property or ever afterward placing any lien on the title to be issued to the purchaser at the sale by the sheriff.

Americans Eat Little Mutton.


 In Great Britain about 22 per cent of all meat consumed is mutton. In France 1t is about Il per cent. In Canada it Is not quite '. and in the United States is only about 31s per cent. Last year (1918) the consump- ton of dressed meat Gard excluded) In the United States averaged 150 pounds per person, of which only 3 were mutton and lamb.
 The British, the Canadians, and the French-all similar types of people and having habits of life similar to less meat than Amer leans do, but much larger proportion comes from sheep. The United States gets its meat principally from cattle and hogs. Pork consumption is about IA times, and beef consumption about 13 times, as great as our use of nut ton and lamb. These are the annual averages for last year.

GIRLS WHO USE CUss WORDS
Singular Admission Said to Have Been Made by the Members of a
 Graduating Class.

It has long been the fashion at col leges and schools to take census of graduating classes to determine such vital facts as these:
 What is your favorite flower? How tall are you? Do you smoke? Are you prOhibitionist?
 At girls seminary a recent inquiry was more sweeping. To the interroga- hon.: Do you swear?' 200 of the 215 girls answered yes.
 But admitting that they swear Is not proof that these feminine lips do utter oaths So at least says the law in New York state, writes "Griant" in the Philadelphia Press.
 Four or five people" must hear you swear, not for a second or two. but flor about five minutes"-that's the law in North Carolina.
 Down in Alabama they don't expect a man to swear from the hOusetops, but the law says that if three or four persons hear you just once, good night!
 In Tennessee it is not necessary to repeat the offensive words when a culprit is indicted for swearing. s X I saw on the veranda of a country club seventeen women of whom twelve were drinking an intoxicating liquor and seven were smoking cigarettes.
 But if that census at the girls semi nary is an index, more women swear than daily with John Barleycorn Or Lady Nicotine.

OWED MUCH TO STEREOSC0PE
How Commanders During the Great War Got Information of
 Vital Importance.

The Old-fashlOned stereOscOpe played an important part in the
 world war. It supplied an angle to photographs, snapped from airplaaes, that could not be obtained from the ordinary camera lens. Before it's use the pictures all seemed fiat, but the stereoscOpe added height, and thus steep slopes, that appeared in pie lures like flat ground, were shown In their true characteristics, and the lives, of men who would have to cover the ground in attack were saved. The airplane camera looks directly down on the spot to be photographed, making picture as one-eyed man would see it. A stereoscopic camera. in which the lenses are two and three-quarters inches apart, would not produce the stereoscopic effect. Pho tographers decided to take pictures 100 yards apart to give view, just as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart, would see 1t. These pictures were put on cardboard, and viewed through the stereoscope. At first cottage looked like tower, bucket like well, trench like canyon, etc. The officers soon learned to translate these eccentricities, and the problem was solved. True pictures, giving just the exact information desired, were then obtained by the airplane photogra- phers.

ALL LIES" SAYS
 "HARDBOILED" SMITH

That the "yellow" papers of the east are printing pure falsehoods about his career while in command of prison farm No. 2 is the statement of Lieut. Frank H. Smith received in Phoenix. It is his opinion that the papers so accusing are fabricating their stories to increase the news value and that so far neither the court martial or the congressional investi- gating committee has arrived at the truth of affairs over there.
 In speaking of the stories which have been printed about him, Lieuten- ant Smith has the following to say: I wish that you all would not be- lieve reports the yellow sheets publish here. They take half truth and con- vert it into a tissue of lies. guess it is to sell papers they do that, but it may be expensive for them before they get through"
 In speaking of his trial and subse- quent hearing before the congression- al committee, Smith said: "The only liar among the sergeants lied as us- ual before the sub committee and as usual placed me in hard position"
 Smith also desires to correct the re- port that he was dishonorably dis from the army. He states he has been dismissed from the service without the stigma of lost citizenship attached.

WIFE GOT DIVORCE AND
 HE DID NOT KNOW II

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. 14.-A
 story of man being divorced by his wife without his knowledge, and his only property, a homestead, decreed to his wife by the court ruling was contained in an affidavit of merit filed yesterday in the superior court by Joseph E. Bouchard. Bouchard lives on his homestead filing near Williams and was discharged from the army last January, according to his document.
 Bouchard in his affidavit sets forth that early last May he was informed that his wife had filed a divorce com plaint against him. He immediately consulted an attorney at Williams, he said, and was assured by the lawyer that the court would have no jurisdic- tion over the homestead filing. As he understood that it would cost $500 or $500 to come here to combat the case, Bouchard says, he remained at Will Hams secure in his belief that at least his one piece of property was safe.
 The affidavit then relates Bou- chard's surprise when, at later date, he was told that his wife had obtain ed her divorce; that the costs of S75 had been placed against him and his filing had been decreed to his wife by the court.
 Bouchard adds that his wife had no interest in the homestead, and that she had never lived or visited there. He also declares he did not desert her, as her complaint set forth, and states that it was really she whp deserted him.
 The affidavit concludes with the statement that Bouchard will shortly seek to obtain the patent on the home stead he is living on, and which the court decreed to his wife without his NI

ANNUAL NORTHERN
 STATE FAIR PRESCOTT
 OCTOBER l6. Y & IS

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday October 18th, 17th and 18th mark the dates of the holding of the Seventh Annual Northern Arizona State Fair at Prescott, Arizona.
 The counties of Apache, Coconino Mohave, Navajo and Ya7apai extend an invitation to all to be present and participate in the festivities attendant upon the Northern Arizona State Fair.
 The nature of this Fair is purely educational, the stimulation and en- couragement of efficiency and excel lence in the products of Northern Ari- zona being the prime purpose of the Northern Arizona State Fair. The management considers that fair which tends to promote friendly ri- valry among the producers of neces- sities, and encourages increase there in, is devoted to high and patriotic purpose and where various features of entertainment are provided to pro- mote public interest by attracting larger numbers, it is only that the valuable lessons thus afforded may be more widely disseminated.
 For the assistance which has been given by the State, the Counties of the North, the City of Prescott, and the citizens generally of Northern Ari- zona, the Northern Arizona State Fair Association expresses it's thanks and appreciation.
 Grown from a "baby" tent fair in to one of the leading institutions of the State of Arizona, with perman- ent buildings in which to house the wonderful agricultural, horticultural, livestock, mining, art, educational, cul- mary and needle work exhibits from the northern tier of counties, the Northern Arizona State Fair is worthy of the generous support and cooperation of every one interested in the upbuilding of the State of Ari- zOna. tata,. Atrr~~
 It is worthy of note that every of ficial of the Northern Arizona State Fair gives his or her time and en- ergy absolutely gratis. This year, through the untiring efforts of Mir. R. N. Fredericks, who was induced by his co-workers to again assume the responsible position as President of the Northern Arizona State Fair, the of the Fair has no hesi- tancy in stating that the Seventh Annual Northern Arizona State Fair will have in store for every one who attends something of interest, both from an educational as we'll as en- tertainment standpoint. ,t
