WILLOW VALLEY NOTES.
From the Richland Democrat.

- fIOu Tie lLlCulunu DOu1OCEdG.
One man of this community is sure
"up to snuff" when it comes to a
matter of precaution and protection.
He recently turned his bull into his
hickory grove. The bull is a bad one.
Further comment unnecessary.
An exchange says, mo process has
yet been evolved to keep cider sweet" "
Who in the deuce wants it to stay
that way in these dry" times? The
average person would not give nick
lie for recipe that would prevent the
kick. In fact that is just the reason
most of our citizens make cider.
A severe loss from a lightning bolt
occurred on the Misslich Bros farm
last Friday night A herd of 40 COWS
were punched near a wire fence at
which place thirteen were found dead
next morning The loss was placed
by the adjusting agent at $65 per head
which will partly make reparation but
not wholly, for the dead COWS were
the best in the herd.
One of our farmers took a COW and
calf to Richland Center Monday. When
Ross wrote out the checks, there were
$40 for the COW and $40 for the calf.
The farmer looked at the checks and
said with dry smile, Haven't you
got this thing turned around?" Grant
said with laugh Take them back
home, feed that calf a week longer and
the values will be just the reverse"
This is the first time that the writer
has known a case where five-Weeks-
old calf came within a dollar of bring
ing as much money as the COW and the
COW being in good flesh at that. Some
mighty queer things nowadays.

SHULLSBURG.

Paul Dixon and George Winters
went to Kentucky last week to hunt
work and we opine they will be mad
as wet hares if they should find any.
1t may be none of our business but
just the same we are never going to
do otherwise than fight the idea of
women wearing pantalOOns A WO-
man in trousers looks like hell. Now
kind readers we do not say this to be
profane, or anything Of that kind, but
just because there is no other word
to express the fact.
A few days ago, Sept. 9th sweet
little girl came to town on the late
train and the doctor took her to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Thomp-
son in his automobile. She came to
take her board there and says if she
likes them and the grub suits her she
will stay anywhere from Is to 35
years. She is easy to board as she
leaves nothing on her plate to be
thrown away or made into pudding
for the next meal as some smart peo-
pie do neither is she particular as to
her menu, as she prefers to have just
milk of which she is very fond. Her
eyes are like her papa's but she don't
seem to want to use them much as
she keeps them shut most of the time.
Her name is Pearl and she is a sweet
little girl and some one thought they
heard her say, I'm a little tot I know
full we'll but I'll get bigger, time will
tell. My dad and mum are proud of
me, that anybody can see" Now she's
a peach just watch her smile, and she
is growing all the while. And it won't
be long till she will talk and oh what
fun to see her walk out in the yard
the live long day. How we love to
watch them play. To raise some kids
is just the plan, so get there ELI if
you can-Pick & Cad.

SOLDIER ON DUTY WITHIN
 STATE IS NOT RESIDENT

PHOENIX. Ariz. Dee. 1O--A sol dier does not become a resident of the state as d result of being sta toned within the state. according to an opinion rendered today by the at torney generals office in response to a query as to whether or not sol dier is q resident as contemplated by the divorce laws.
 The question of residence is one of jurisdiction to be decided by the court where the soldier applies for divorce" the opinion continued.
 The mere fact Of soldier being stationed within the state" the opin- ion said does not of itself make him q resident of the state The general rule with reference to soldiers. is that upon enlistment or upon being drafted. they retain their residence in the state in which they had residence al the time of enlistment or being drafted. That is to say. by enlist ment in the service Of the United States. soldiers dc not lose their resi- dences which they had at the time Of enlistment
 We are of the opinion. however. that soldir may voluntarily change his legal residence after enlistment by the purchase Of home. the ac- quiring of other property interests. marrying citizen of this state. the soldier being under age and the par ents moving to this state etc, but sdch change must be of such a char acter as to leave in the mind of the court no doubt that the soldier is an actual bona fide citizen and legal res ident of this state. and has been such for one year next preceding the time of filing his complaint
 The question Of residence is one of jurisdiction. to be decided by the court in which the soldier applies for divorce: and a judgment or decree in such action is final and beyond the control of the military or the eXecu- tive. and may be avoided only by ap- peal or direct attack by the defendant in the case"

COCHiSE LEGISLATOR RESIGNS OFFICE.

Al C. Hankins. clerk oI tie board oi supervisors. today received com mumication bearing the resignation of Dana T. Milner, republican member of the lower house. from the 9th dis. trict
 The reason given by the retiring legislator is that press Of personal business obligations makes it neces. sary for him to resign. as he would be unable to give his office the ne cessary attention, especially during the coming special session scheduled for January.
 The law provides that appointment to Till the vacancy shall be made by the board of supervisors and it is eX- pected this will be made at the next meeting of the board to be held here next week.
 Although Cochise has a democratic board it must appoint man of the same political faith to fill the vacan. cy. and as NIT. Milner was a Republi- can. member of that party will be appointed to the place held by Mr Nilner
 Just who is slated for the place is not known here. although it is known that the retiring solon was not fully in accord with the policies of the ad- ministration. and whether or not he apprised the powers that be" of his intention to quit in order to give them time to make a new selection. or whether there will now be last minute scramble of the Cochise re- publican central committee to find a man that will harmonize with the ma chine. is problematical, according 10 those here in touch with ;he situa- fion.
 Again. just whether the supervis- ors will heed the wishes of the re- publicans, or appoint a man who will follow Milner stand against the ma chine, is a problem confronting the central committee, it was pointed out by a prominent politician here to- day.

Der of biz cattle shipments made dur. ing the month of November and from 600O to 5000 head contracted for De. cember shipments. rae cattle situation in cochise county is improving stead fly. according to Frank P Moore, of Douglas, chairman of the live stock sanitary board. who was in Phoenix for a board meeting yesterday.
 MT. Moore said that while prices were not normal. indications point toward normal ill a short time By spring. he believes. there will be a notable advance in price In recent sales calves brought from SIP to sl5, while steers sold for from s20 to s25, Mir. Moore reported.
 Johnson and Cook. Of Wilcox. among the leading cattlemen in the state. bought in large numbers from Huachuca as far east as Clifton" said MT Moore The cattle was not bought for immediate sale but the fact that such prominent cattle grow CTS have bought for the future is in dication of the faith of experts in the industry The cattle has been turned loose on the con-panys range in the lower San Pedro"
 More cause for optimism in O. chise county is based on the report that the mines and smelters will re open the first of February While mine owners have not given out this information neither have they denied il" Mr Moore said.
 The live stock sanitary board failed to complete all it's business yesterday and an all-day session will be held today. when further attention will be given to the routine matters to be considered The entire board mem bership is here.
