BISBEE. Aug. 29.-Lloyd B. Christy state examiner and his assistant. John F. Myers. continued yesterday the work of checking over the work Q: the county highway commission which goes out of business Sept l. They will have another day in Bis bee and will then go 10 over to Tomb stone 10 finish the job.
 It is expected that the second highway commission appointed by tho supervisors some months ago when another million dolar bond issue was proposed, will take the places Of the retiring board The second commis- sion never went into office because the state law does not provide for two such county boards.
 The members of this commission are B. A. Packard and Harry Pickett Of Douglas, A. Y. Smith of Pearce. Emil Marks of Lowell and Tom Full gum of Wilcox.
 h answer 10 widespread criti- seism of the action Of the board of supervisors in breaking off relations with the state engineer. l. C. F. Adams. chairman of the board, yes te-day gave his side O; the contro- sersy. The supervisors notified State Engineer Tom Maddock to stop work !n Cochise county by Sept. ]. which he promptly did.
 This means that Cochise county probably wi! lose ali federal aid for her road pDIec:s The state law <.rects all moAeys raised by the state :, ad tax levy sha!. le expended under the join: supervision of the county sLpe!v.s--s and ;Ae state engineer The .e;;er 10 the sia;e engineer sim iy stated ;a4. ;he old Eorking pIaa szs unsatisfactory and as a result A-cdook withdrew a.. he state road workers .ro:a Cochise county and pu: them 10 work in Pima county

 The manner nf the buying of sup llies for The state road crews was severely criticised by tbe supervisors chairman. :ie declared that the I-.ces paid Eere exorhitant. tnd tha: rc5ody seem 10 care how much the things cast while the county paid ;he li,!s.
 No reduction was obtained in nany instances Of purchasing said MT Adams. and added that ii cost as much 10 5uy certain supplies in lots of 3 thousand as by the single can.

MARRIAGE WITHIN ONE YEAR
 AFTER DIVORCE IS NULL

TUCSON. Aug. 26.-Residents Of Arizona who secure a decree of di- vorce and remarry within one year. n contempt of the decree. and con ,inue to reside in the state, whether the remarr.age takes place in the state or out of it, are not married in he eyes O. the law of Arizona, and the marriages are null and void un- der a memorandum opinion handed down yesterday by the superior court of Pima county. in the annulment Of Helen Hughes against Yda Waldrop
 The marriage, had !n Phoenix ! shortly after waldrop was divorced by iona Melbourne. was first dissolv- ed by the decree yesterday and the marriage contracted subsequently in California was then dissolved This is the first opinion of any court of the state and seriously effects the status of many well known couples of Tuscon and Arizona generally.
 The status of the matrimonial re- Iations of Arisonans whosupo sesar- ing decrees left the state and married elsewhere within the twelve months, and remained out of the jurisdiction o; the state. is not attacked by the ! opinion The opinion. however. ay- CTS the fact that residents leaving ta. ' s.ace 10 marry to eyade the law Of the state. and return and again reside il. ] the state gives the state Jurisdiction over their actions as residents of the [ state of Arizona, even though the mar riase hay have been performed else where.
 The corrt commented up the fac: that the legislature did not use the emphatic language found in most statutes on the subject of marriage within one year after decree is rem dered. but nevertheless believed il was perfectly apparent the legislature sough; 10 prevent the marriage of div creed parties within the period pres cribed. If Chapter 54 of the Laws of 1917 made provisions for the annu!. n:eat Of such marriages. the case would be perfectly clear. It was sug- Issted the statnte was either direct ory or prohihi;pry IL is either good advice or prohibitory of marriage with in one year
 The court expressed itself as un willing 10 hold that the legislature merely gave weak advice. but that i, intended as a rule of public policy 10 forbid renarr;age Of the parties win T one year and in effec; made mar r.ages in violation Of the statutes void.
 Accordingly ;he court held that The Phoenix marriage Of the couple was null and void
 Considering the California marriage .; me couple and its validity. since ;he marriage there was admittedly Tor the evasion of the laws Of Arizona and .~as contracted by residents 0. Arizona who came back 10 Arizona to reside here. the cour; was of the op- inion that the action came under the statutes Of the state of which ;ae couple were actually resident.

TALK IRRIGATION PROJECTS

Boise=Deep interest is being e1-
pressed here over a series of confer
ences being held between Secretary
Of the Interior Lane and the senators
from Idaho at the national capitol.
Three great irrigation projects
which will need government aid are
in the making. They are the Sunny
side project between Mountain Home
and Nampa; the Dubois project lying
west of Dubois on the Sweet sage
fats; and the Bruneau project be-
tween Twin Falls and Bruneau. The
latter is the largest and would re-
claim more than half million acres.
In addition there is the Black Can
Won project rs the southwestern part
of Idaho.
Irrigation experts here agree that
each proposition is entirely feasioie
md that water enough can be I'M
pounded to take care OF these I'M
movements and vastly increase the
material wealth of the state

twenty-five cars of hay we're billed

as low as $500 per ton in the stack.
Owing to shipping dates and other
details that the association could not
comply with. Manager Veazie has at
times been compelled to turn some
of his orders TO the Minidoka asso-

MARKS OF SERVICE

As the soldiers come home 1t will
be interesting to distinguish the
M meanine of the various chevrons they
wear upon their sleeves. The list
Is as follows:
A single red chevron oignifies dis
charge with honor.
A single blue chevron signifies less
than six months service abroad.
A single gold chevron for each
wound received I'm service is worn
on the forearm OF right sleeve.
A single gold chevron for each six
months service abroad is worn on
the forearm of left sleeve.
A single white chevron for each
complete six months service In the
United States is worn on the fore
arm OF left sleeve.
There is generally a mere ques
tion of opportunity not OF willing
ness or ability. between these service
marks. often the man who woul'
gladly have served abroad has beer
retained In this country simply be
cause he has shown superior abilit
and therefore> was better qualihe
TO instruct others. The man VIII
displays any one OF the chevron
above described has done his fu
duty by his country and is worth
of honor.

DOUGHBOY MEANING
Many People Are OF Varied Opinions
Regarding Origin OF Name

The tendency has been noticed to
find a present-day origin for the term
"doughboy" as applied to the over
seas American soldier In the present
war. Some suggest that as our sol
diers were always well supplied with
money the slang term dough" was
applied to it and that soon became
'doughboy". But the facts are
against this assumption and show
that the nom-de-plume was In use
in the earlier wars The Standard
dictionary says that "doughboy" is
the jocular name given by the Amer
lean cavalry to t>re infantry from
the fact that their buttons are or were
OF a globular shape. like doughboys
or dumplings. In Mrs. Clusters
"Tenting on the Plains" page SIG
1SSS edition) is found the follow
ing: Early in the civil war. the
term was applied to the large glob-
ular brass buttons OF the infantry
uniform. from which ii passed by
natural transition to the infantry
themselves. r. IL. Thornton in his
American Glossary" gives the quo
tation. from letter of General Cue
ter OF March 2S. 1867: Wasn't
! glad was not doughboy." Thes'
references dispose OF the idea tina

JACKSON LAKE RESERVOIR
Is UP TO NORMAL HEIGHT
Prospes Is for Water for Coming Boa-
son Are Very Good to Date

Reports from the Jackson Lake
country indicate that the snow fall IL
very much less than in recent years
in that vicinity. The last report dat
ed January 18th stated that there
we're eight. inches on the ground at
the dam
Investigation is being made to find
out. how the snowfall in the noun
tains compares with that of other
years and this report will be publish
ed as soon as it is received
TIL Wyoming weather bureau Of
13 in regard to the snowfall While
the water equivalent is small. it Is
too early to estimate the general
prospects for irrigation water, az
much depends upon further accumu-
lation and packing
In this connection it can be said
that there is no danger of failure to
fll the Jackson Lake reservoir. There
was about 100000 acre-feet left In
the reservoir at the end of last irri-
cation season and the lake has been
filing at the normal rate since that
time. On January first there was
about 209 .2O9 acre-feet in the reser-
voir
Should there be any shortage in
the water supply this year. 1t will
not be due to failure to fill the res
ervoir but to the early falling of of
: the natural flow of the Snake river
Doubtless the rains that have occur
red through the Snake river valley
during the last few days have consid-
erably increased the snowfall in the
watershed tributary to the upper
5 Snake river.

Bonds, however. should ask their
bankers, to write to my Office for the
rule applying TO tax on such interest.
Dividends on stock shares are in

How Merchants Figure
"A person buying and selling mer-
chandise must find his profits for the
year on the following basis: First,
ascertain the gross sales or total cash
receipts. Then add together the in
ventory at the beginning of the year
and the. purchases OF goods for re-
sale. From this latter sum subtract
the inventory of goods on hand at the
years end, and the result is the cost
OF goods sold. This cost, plus the
necessary expenses incurred solely
through conduct OF the business, is
the net earnings of the business.
"A professional man arrives at his
professional income by ascertaininf
the total of fees for services and de
ducting therefrom all expenses con
nected and solely with his practice.

MORE AND BETTER
SCHOOL BUILDINGS

Elsewhere in this issue will be |
found a notice of bond election to |
be held February 13 by School Dis
trict No. 33. AS set forth in the no
tice the purpose of the election is
for the determination of the voters
as to whether or not the board of
trustees shall negotiate for the sale
of bonds for the purpose of providing
school houses, grounds. furniture.
etc, in the sum of 5000.
For some time it has been evident
to the board and those most interest
ed in the schools that additional
room is necessary and that improve
ments be made in the rural schools
as well as the erection of a high
school building in Jerome. At a
special meeting of the board held
Tuesday evening all members pres
ent were heartily in favor of the bond
, issue for the purpose as above named
and as result of the meeting thu
, election was ordered held.
ne improvements dS iutliNiOic'
are essential and in the event tha
such an election should not be fay
orable to the issuance of bonds
. will be necessary for the board

was necessary to do once before whe
the matter of bonds were vote

best way to handle the matter wou
