LOCAL NOTES
 FROM ADAMANA

We asked young lady the
 other day if she knew MT. Birds
 we'll. She at first blushed then
 turned pale, saying, "Why-er-
 l-er-didn't even know he had
 been sick" I wonder why all
 this confusion on her part.
 Mrs. Wm. Nelson recently in
 vested some of the excess profits
 from her Adamana hotel in one small calf. She having had con- siderable trouble with a calf pur- chased a month ago to get it to take the required amount of nourishment necessary to a con- tinued existence, she stipulated strongly at the time of the pur- chase of the last one that this particular calf should be a self feeder, as she had no time to teach it to drink. Soon after the purchase it was delivered and put in a strong corral which was all right till one of MT. Nelson'S tourists left the gate open. Then things began to happen so fast that really one needed roller skates to keep out of the way. It just gave one look and discover ed couple of Mrs. Nelson's dairy cows tied to the fence which it proceeded to reduce to a state of emptiness and sur prise right now. After which 1t spied MT. Nelson blowing the garden with Katy, his faith full mare and in about one min ute later poor Katy" got the surprise of her young life. Yes, you guessed it. Before they could get the harness off Katy" she wss as dry as Pussyfoot Johnson sitting on the Volstead lct in the middle of an Arizona lust storm. It looks like Mrs. Nelson should be we'll satisfied with the self-feeding attachment )n her purchase.
 The Rev. Speck, of Holbrook, asst Tuesday night preached at he Adamana school house, talk ng for his text a portion of the Lords prayer as follows: "Thy Kingdom Come Thy Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heav- n" and from this text Bro Speck preached a very forceful sermon to most attentive and audience. Despite Inc fact that it was a very windy night which made it quite a hardship for those to attend that live some distance away there were about half of our peO- ole faced the storm to hear the 5ermon and join in the song ser vice.
 w. O. Morgan received a tele- gram from Mrs. Morgan who IS now at Muscotah, conveying the sad news that her mother, Mrs. Mary A. Johnson, had passed away. Mrs. Johnson had been sick since last October with sug- ar diabetes, as well as partial paralysis. She suffered intensely during the last few weeks of her sickness.
 Now, mother, you are gone,
 what can we do,
 There is no one on earth that
 can take the place of you Through those years of strife
 and woe
 How kind and pateient you've
 been, no one can ever know But your memory will live
 through the years to come Till we meet you again in your
 heavenly home.
 MT. John Beasley, alias Jiggs', is changing his wireless barbed wire fence into "barless" wired fence this week.
 Mrs. Vim. Nelson has here sl very ably reproduced the famous tent city of San Diego. She has the tents, the sand, the tourists and plenty of water, all she lacks now is the f1eas and that cute little Pacific ocean smell.
 Railroad business seems to be picking up since our new agent came. The cash receipts have advanced so rapidly that the company had to send out a car penter from Winslow to put in money drawers
 Shylock in demanding his pound of flesh was not more per sistent than the lady in Kingman who is writing Custodian Nelson to send her four or five gallons of Terrifying water taken out of the Terrified Forest just one month after the IdeS of March and in the dark of the moon." 1t looks like the custodian would make this shipment, as it might lead to other orders for this val uable water.
