Old Timer Home Aaain


 PRESCOTT Ed Brandt, one of the most widely known of the old pioneers of this section and one of the few vet eranS of the Civil war left alive and hearty and well, has returned to spend the balance of his days in the land of the HaSSayampa. He says that when he came to Wickenburg he laid over a day on his trip to get his skin full of HaSsayampa water again, so that he can breathe the pure air of these re- gions and get full measure of vigor in mind and body.
 Brandt has been a couple of years in the Soldiers Home in California and had a good time there but says he can have a much better time in Yavapai county He is getting along toward four score years old, but is as active as a man of 30 summers His theory is that the limpid waters from the HaSSa- yampa and the ozone charged air of Yavapai's pine clad hills will make any man retain lis youthful vigor longer than any other combination known to man.-JOurnal Miner

TO THE PUBLIC

In November majority of our vot-
ers voted in favor of an examination
of the doings of the state industry.
Through an oversight, the proposed
law did not provide for funds, and
Gov. Frazier and Commissioner of
Agriculture Hagan sought to block
the examination by refusing funds to
carry on the work until the leagues
creatures, Poindexter and Lemke, took
office. The board, consisting Of
Messrs. Hall, LANCER and Kositzky,
sought to carry out the law any way,
and put accountants to work check
ing up. The funds are being raised
by small loans from the public. At
a later date, funds will be appropriat-
ed by the legislature to repay these
claims. Every person interested in
seeing these institutions examined
should send the board whatever
amount he can spare as loan to fin
ish this work.
It is rumored that the Bank Of
North Dakota paid a st. Paul league
lawyer almost as much for acting as
associate counsel with Bill Lemke in
some lawsuit last year as the whole

examination would have cost. We
are told the St. Paul lawyer drew
the neat sum of $1,000.
Enough has already been deter
mined by the auditing boards exam
ination to prove how vitality necessary
the examination was. However, de-
tails will not be made public until
the report is complete. Even now,
the examiners are before the supreme
court to try to force the mill and ele-
vator association to turn over the
records of transactions between the
state mill at Drake and the Consum-
ers Stores Companies involving $780,
600 worth of flour. These records
are missing from the mill accounts,
and every effort so far to get them
has been frustrated.
Send in IS or $40 to Messrs. Lam
ger, Hall and Kositzky to be used to
pay for the examination. Sooner or
later the money will be repaid by the
state.

of same will not make any material
difference in most cases. On the
other hand, the large number of such
accounts due the Record makes a
pretty tidy sum outstanding. The
past few years have been pretty
clean" years, and the income from the
newly-secured legal printing will not
materialize for several weeks. We
therefore ask our subscribers to re-
member US if possible. We have not
sent out any statements generally as
yet, figuring on waiting until about
the first of the year. Perhaps con-
ditions will be little more favorable
by that time.
If you are in arrears and can do so
without material Inconvenience, we
should appreciate your help between
now and the first of the year.

FIFTEEN AUTO TIRES STOLEN

been detected Thursday night, Jan

by Chas. w. Sellers, and occupying
the little building just north of the
post office in Wa-Keeney, was enter
ed by burglars who stole fifteen new
auto tires and two new tubes and
other material which would amount
to about $4,000. The entrance was
made by prying open the front door
of the shop. A few suspects have
been watched and others have been
Investigated but no trace of the tires
have been secured. Mr.. Sellers is
offering a reward for their return and
for the arrest and conviction of the

as to how the tires were taken away
from the shop. An automobile could
have been run up in front of the
building and the tires loaded into it
and driven away without leaving any

street was dry and hard. This is the

HEALTH OFFICER ISSUES
CLOSING ORDER

On account of the rapid increase in
the number of cases of influenza IN
this county during the last week, Dr.
w. Y Herrick, county health officer,
has issued an order forbidding all
public meetings or gatherings and
closing the schools until Monday,
February 18th 1t is hoped that by
that time the epidemic will be so
abated that it will be safe to resume
school work and usual gatherings
Both DIR. Herrick and Dr. Burnett
have informed The World that there
are a great many cases of t1u IN
this county. It is not centralized in
any locality but it is general through
out the county Many of the cases are
very light and can hardly be detected
while other patients are in such mis-
cry that they roll and groan from its
gripping and painful effects. The
rapid spread of the disease is attri-
buted to the people not using proper
precautions either in taking care OF
themselves or in trying to prevent its
spread. The doctors declare the situ-
alton is serious and were both heart
lily agreed that the restrictions should
be put on and inforced.
No set of physicians Or no rigid
| orders from the health department;
can prevent the further spread OF
| this disease unless the citizens of the
| county will cooperate with the
! health department. If one wants tc
be honest with himself and true te
| his neighbors at this time he viii
avoid public and social gatherings He
will stay at home and attend to his
| own business excepting to the one ex
| tent of giving aid to those in dis
| tress- If he feels i'll he will avoic
close contact with others no matter
| whether he has the flu or not A co
| operation of this kind with the worI
| of the health officers and physician:
| will soon eradicate the disease il
| this county.
