RECENT ARIZONA LAW
 FOR NOISY DRIVERS

It may not be amiss to tell the fel- lows that are joy riding the streets of Kingman nightly with highpowered cars equipped with raucus horn, cut out wide open and hitting only few of the high spots, that recent law of Arizona says that a car may not be driven with devices that make unusual noises nor with cut-out open under a penalty of $1OO fine and 30 days in s.aiI or bath. All e.1husHs Iead:ng from the motor of any car must par allel the ground and must not lead downward toward the roadway. And further, that no lights used on car shall be so placed that the beams ex- tend more than 75 feet in front of the car on a level surface, the beam of light rising not more than 42 inches from the roadway. Any per son operating a motor vehicle who commits an injury to life or property and who drives away without giving his name and residence is committing felony and upon conviction may be fined in the sum of $500 or be im- prisoned for period of two years.
 The law is now in force.

RICE AGAIN TAKES ISSUE WITH
 THE LAW.

George Graham Rice, whose right name is Jacob Herzog, has had war rant for>his arrest issued at Oakland, California, on a charge of having sold some bad stock. It is alleged that he sold to hundreds of employees of the California Cotton Mills shares in the Broken Hills mines and held out glowing promises of dividends that were never paid. The complaint, it is understood, was issued under the cor poration laws of the state of Califor- mia, Rice not having complied with the requirements of the statute regarding the selling of corporate shares. Rice is now in Salt Lake City, where he has opened brokerage office. It is not believed that anything will come of the California complaints, as it is uncertain that the blue sky laws will reach anyone not actually doing bus mess within the state.

INTERESTING FLOAT

Postmaster Metcalfe received this week some interesting photographs and newspaper accounts of float that participated in pageant held at Val lejo, California on July 4th.
 The float was designed for the Val lejo Heights improvement Club of which Mrs. Edgar Hampton, formerly Miss Merla Metcalfe, of Kingman is a member. ..--
 The float represented an Indian en- campment with tepee and campfire, surrounded by Indian squaws and pa pooses. Cactus growth, baskets and bead work, everything primitive and labeled, "First Americans.
 Being odd and original, it was big hit in the parade. MT. Metcalfe ex- poets his daughter and her young son to visit him in the near future.

Cotton Prices Show Great
 Range in Quarter Century

The price of cotton, received.S by farmers, has varied enormously Since the end of the long period livery low prices about 25 years ago. TKe low est price of December in the records of the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture, is, 4.6 cents per pound of lint in 1894, and it was as low as 5.7 cents in 1898. The year 1908 was notable in cotton price history, be- cause the price rose to 10.5 cents, and remained substantially at this high CT level, or above. In the first year of the World War, 1914, notwithstand- ing the "buy.a-bale" cry, the cotton price of December was 6.8 cents, but it rose to 11.3 cents the next year, to 19.6 cents in 1916, to 27.7 cents in 1917, and to 35.6 cents in 1919. The drop to IA cents pound in 1920, or a fall of 61 cents in one year, cut pro- ducerS to the quick.

HAS LOCATED FINNEY

Mrs. l. L. Parsons, of Lindsay, Cal ifornia, notifies the Miner that she has located her brother, Sam Finney, who was reported read sometime ago. She doesn't state where he now is or how the report happened to become circulated.
 In her letter Mrs. Parsons tells the editor of the Miner that when he re- ported the rumor that Finney was strangled he knew all the time that said Finney was alive. What object this good lady thinks the Miner would have in taking such an action we don't know, as Fnney is not even known to us. But such is life on a neWspaper.

GROWLS BY THE
 OFFICE DOG

Girls here's a new one. A young woman of Carson, Nevada, is reported as having invented new method of defense, called the thumb tickle. Now this may be good stunt to discourage unwelcome attentions as it consists of the placing of a jab with the rigidly extended thumb at right angles to the short ribs and is described as be- ing knockout of high degree. How ever just how this could be carried out when a stick-up artist jabs one in the ribs first with a gun also held at right angles is a question. An exchange says that railroad rates remind us that all the robberies are not confined to mail cars.,

 Like many another child of genius, the First Watch was born of adver- sity. In 1504 Peter Henlein, a young locksmith of Nuremberg, in Fran conia, was involved in a scuffle which cost the life of an elder locksmith. Seeking sanctuary with the Bare footed Friars, he buried himself in his chosen worh-and the following year presented his benefactors with the worlds First Watch. -~
 Popular tradition cohfuses this timepiece with the Nuremberg Egg" of half a century later, but Henlein's masterpieces were drum-shaped. Built of iron, they were clumsy, heavy, as large as saucers. As the crude spring unwound they lost momentum, varying an hour day. Their cost was the equivalent of $1,500 in our currensy-the watchmaker's output was one a year! First carried by night-watchmen, these playthings of the rich soon became known as "watches"-the direct ancestors of those timekeeping marvels of our day.

treatment of disabled soldiers, recom- mendations that mean adequate hos pital treatment to 10000 wounded vet erans now in poorhouses, asylums, h. sufficiently equipped hospitals or in no institution at ali, as well as pay ment for disability to thousands of veterans not in hospitals.
 The report of the Dawes committee Is considered as great victory for the American Legion program for dis abled soldier relief. It's recommenda- tions embody the principal features of the Legion plan.
 They are:
 1. Appointment of one official to have charge of all disabled sol9jars' relief and benefits. There now are three departments.
 9 Decentralization of administra- ton, so officials with delegated author ity may act without red tape.
 8. Appropriation of whatever addl- tiona money is necessary for new hospitals.
 Other members of the committee were: F. w. Galbraith. Jr., national commander of the American Legion: 1: Franklin D'Olier, past national com mander of the American Legion Thomas w. Miller of Delaware Theo- dore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the Navy; Mrs. Douglas Robinson of New York, sister of former Presi- dent Roosevelt; John l..

An interesting edition of the Ketchikan Chronicle was pub- lished last week, on July 4th, when the American Legion had complete charge of the paper. The edition was edited primarily from a magazine standpoint and is replete with material that is designed to dissipate much of the misunderstanding that exists throughout the country about the climate and resources of Alaska. The Wrangell Legion sold a large number of copies and could have sold more. The mailing list on hand in the Chronicle office at the time of publication showed that the special number would go into nearly every state in the Union and to all parts of the civ ilized world.
 A greeting from Governor Scott Bone to Ketchikan Post No. 8, Department of Alaska, American Legion. occupies a prominent place on the front page of the "A page paper. Governor Bone speaks of Alaska as yet a boy in development although potentially a man. He predicts a brilliant future for the boy when his un. limited resources shall have be- come developed and the boy shall have become a man.
 The publication contains many special articles by well known residents of Ketchikan. These deal with Ketchikan and with the Territory as whole and contain a great amount of interesting in- formation about fishing, mining, oil lands. forests, coal fields, and other resources. It also contains a list of the Civil War, Spanish and World War veterans of Ketchikan and brief sketches of their lives.
