This new discovery, which is called Alex
ander's Rid-O-Fly. is not a poison. Though
it kills flies like magic, farm animals nj
human beings are not affected by it at all.
In addition to killing these insects Rid-O-
Fly is a strong repellant. Flies will not
come stock or buildings where Rid-0-
Fly has been used. Rid-O-Fly is particu-
larly valuable for cows and horses, as It is
a known fact flies do untold harm to these
animals.
So confident is DR.. Alexander that his dis
covery will rid your house, barns and live
stock Of these pests that he offers to send a
$500 supply for only $1.00 on the guarantee
THAT If Rid-O-Fly does not solve your fly
problems it will cost you nothing. Two big
Kansas City banks guarantee the reliability
Of this offer.

Laura - Unquestionably longer
dresses are being worn. I do not
believe that the street sweeping
dress will ever be worn by sensible
American women again. About seven
or eight inches from the ground
seems to be the accepted length at
this time.
Madge-You are certainly right
not to allow your 16-year-old daugh-
ter to go unchaperoned with a
crowd of youngsters on long auto
mobile rides. All cars are subject
to accidents, and if the morning
light found them sitting on the side

the tongues of gossips.
Ethel have never been very sue
cessful with peppermint candy. The
recipe I'm giving you is one given
me by a friend who makes the best
minis I've ever eaten:
1 pound of confectioners' sugar.
White Of one egg well beaten.
2 teaspoons of ice water.
80 drops of oil of peppermint.
Mix well together and roll on
bread board, cut with a cutter about
the size of a quarter.
Wish some one else would send
us a recipe for peppermint drops.
Mother-If you will get jar of
pomade vaseline and carefully and
systematically rub it into the roots
of your little girls hair you will
shortly see a marked improvement.
If you are careful you will not get
the grease on the hair. I would
not wash her hair more than once
every two weeks and the night be-
fore planned to give her a thorough
shampoo I'd put an extra quantity Of
the vaseline on her scalp. OF course
you have to rub it in well. But the
fine, new little hair that will start
to grow will pay you for all your
trouble.
Seamstress-The address I gave
was the Woman's institute, Scran-
ton, Pa. Yes, they give a course for
professionals.

1t is gratifying to know that you

ed. Any one who induces our people
to increase the acreage of land laid
down for the purpose indicated is
performing an important service.
Japanese buckwheat will grow all
right in Georgia. You can probably
cultivate it to greater advantage in
your vicinity than in the lower part
Of the state. This crop should be
grown more extensively than it has
been in the past. It is well adapted
for providing a desirable grain feed
for poultry. It only takes it about
two months to mature. Therefore
you may seed it any time during
the next thirty days. 1t is easily
grown and makes a grain providing
food for bees. 1t is also an excel
lent soil improver when turned IN
der. 1t is a fine crop to use on land
that is infested with weeds. In 9TH
er words, it is an excellent smother
crop. OF course it makes a fine
quality Of flour which is much used
for the purpose of making buck
wheat cakes. 1t is considered good
practice to SOW one bushel of seed
per acre. Broadcasting may be fol-
lowed. but we think you will find
seeding with drill much to be pre-
ferred.

90. How long have women

A. The bill permitting women to
practice law before the United

SO. Is it true that only half
the moon is seen from the earth?
A. Strictly speaking, it is not
true that only one side Of the moon
Is visible from the earth's surface.
The moons rotation in her orbit is
uniform; therefore, two small
strips of surface in addition to the
regular plane are visible from the
earth. These portions of the sur
face run from pole to pole on the
east and west sides, and become
alternately visible. Because the
oon's axis is not perpendicular to
tic orbit, a portion around the
north pole is visible during one half
and the corresponding portion
around the south pole during the
other half of her revolution in her
or'.it. The comb: ed effect on these
variations Is that we can see alto

moons surface. Only Al per cent is
at all times visible from the earth.

OLD TIME ARIZONA SHERIFFS
 HAD NO EASY TIME OF IT

(Ed. Note.-The following article on "Old Time Arizona Sheriffs, " printed in the Kingman Miner, by Jem McKem, is of considerable inter est to old-timers, even though Jem's dates are considerably mixed in many instances. The Coconino bunch he speaks of are still alive and will un- doubtedly question much of the detail. John Francis will disclaim the state ment that he was ever sheriff of Yav- apai county and very likely claim most of his troubles occurred while dep uty sheriff, and the same with Dan Hogan. Then, too, Francis exciting experiences here told fit "Kid" Me- Neil, the poet Commodore Owens famous fight occurred at Holbrook with the Blevins family. Hogan's party was some party. We inter viewed him the morning after the fight. Dams clothes were all shot to pieces clean down to his suspenders, which a Winchester bullet had cut loose. He was creased on all sides, but no wound except flesh wounds. It was only a miracle that saved him. He still used his old Irish smile, but it was some degrees lighter in shade on account of loss of blood Billy Roden and Walter Durham are still on the job, but like the rest of the whole bunch regard the affair as just one of them things that used to happen now and then. In any event it will be fun to hear John Francis cuss when he reads this in- teresting story.)

1900 ATTEND FIRST REUNION
 OF HISTORICAL SOCIETY

More than 1900 people attended the first annual reunion of the Arizona Pioneer Historical association held Saturday at l.. H. Manning's Canda ranch near Arivaca Junction, 25 miles northeast of Nogales. A majority of those in attendance were from Tucson. Addresses on early Arizona history featured the meeting, one being deliv- cred in Spanish.
 A barbecue dinner was one of the outstanding social events of the pro- gram. James H. McClintock, state historian, was among those present. It was decided to make the picnic and reunion an annual affair with next years session probably at Nogales.
 Carlos H. Fully of Tucson, secre- tary of the association, was the one surviving member in attendance who was present when the association was founded in 1884. At the time he had been living in Pima county 30 years. Arizonians who have resided in the state for 30 years or more are eligible for membership in the association. George J. Roskruge of Tucson is pres ident of the association.

near Ash Fork in 1900. Parker was in the Prescott jail, in wing of the courthouse awaiting sentence for this robbery. But one day the bandit contrived to get out of his cell into the jail corridor, where he lay in wait, and when the jailer came in with the prisoners dinners, the bandit over powered the man, took his sixshooter and keys, locked the jailer in, and started to escape by way of the court house hall.
 At the door of the courthouse Par ker met lawyer named Norris com ing in, brief in hand. Startled on recognizing the bandit, the lawyer attempted to bar the way but there was flash and roar and the lawyer fell dead, and leaping upon a handy horse tied to post in the street, the bandit disappeared.
 Sheriff Ruffner, with two deputies, was soon on the bandits trail which led into the mountains to the north east. The story of how, when the deputies horse gave out in the half mile-deep chasms of the Sycamore canyon region, leaving Ruffner, who was better mounted to push on alone after the fugitive and of how the sheriff trailed the bandit for two hundred miles across the Mogollon mountains and Painted desert to the Navajo reservation and at last brought his man back alive to Prescott is an epic of the vanished frontier.
 Arizona's frontier days have passed away. The curtain on the last act was rung down when the state went dry in 1914. The wide-open saloons with the gamblers and their layouts, bediZened women of the dance halls, and "bad men" have folded up their tents" like the Arabs and silently stolen away. The carbine and Colts 45 are relics laid away with old mem- ories and a new generation of red men peacefully tend their flocks and herds and cultivate their fields and the ways of the pale faces. Where few years since were only the desert sag and cactus or the nondescript collection of houses typical of the frontier town, now stand modern cit ies. Civilization has come to Arizona.
 No longer on the long trail ride the old representatives of law and order with jingling spurs and wide-brimmed Stetsons. They have been succeeded by different breed of men who af- feet black store suits and polished shoes, who ride in high-powered mo- tor cars, doing nothing more exciting than chasing bootleggers and jailing hoboes.
 But the old-time sheriffs of Ari- zona lived and wrought in an heroic age as epical as the age of the Golden Fleece. They tanned the frontier and laid the foundations of order and progress, paving the way for a cul- tural civilization. Most of these men have passed on. In the hills and wales of Arizona they sleep the sleep eternal. Yet sometimes, when my night campfire burns low on the moonlit desert or in the forested sol itude of the mountains, methinks my eyes see passing by shadowlike, a phantom rider with wide-brimmed hat, belted six-shooter and carbine, and that my ears hear the faint tinkle of spur chains on rowels. But 'tis only the form of the night hawk sweeping low on his evening flight and the night wind rustling the leaves of the trees.

COMPANIONS OF SLAIN
 ROBBER BEAT IT IN CARS

Dashing wildly from positions along the Golden State Limited as Express Messenger H. Stewart felled Thomas Dugat, local rancher, with two shots, the seven remaining members of CO., -terie of train bandits made good their escape from the scene of their att tempted hold-up early Sunday morn ing in two automobiles.
 That both cars were we'll concealed in mesquite thickets at the side of Casa Grande highway for some time previous to the attempted hold-up was ascertained as well as the fact that the machines were heavy car, probably a even-passenger, and a lighter machine, which was undoubt- edly Ford car.
 Headed for Tucson
 Engines of the cars were started with a roar as the seven bandits en- tered and backed speedily into the Casa Grande highway headed toward Tucson and left the scene travelling fast and with exhausts echoing for long distances through the early morning atmosphere.
 There exists possibility that due to the short distance from Tucson the bandits reached the city over the fast highway before Southern Pacific and county officers had started to the scene, it was asserted. Tracks of the cars were found few miles east of the scene of the hold-up leaving the highway to the south.
 The road which it has been learned the robbers took, leads toward the Silver Bell highway from the Casa Grande route and was probably util- ized by the bandits in making an en- trace to the ciSy before the roads were guarded.

$500 FINE ON LIQUOR
 CHARGE AT KINGMAN

A. E. Barton, who with Charles Clayton, is conducting pool hall on Front street, pleaded guilty last week to the charge of having liquor in his possession at the place of business and was fined the sum of S200 by Judge Sawtelle, in the United States court at Phoenix, and was also mulct- ed in the sum of $1700 on further charge of selling liquor at this place of business. Barton claims that he had the liquor for his own use and that he made no sales. Charles Clay ton, who was charged jointly with Barton, was discharged. Mir. Clayton claimed that he knew nothing of the handling of liquor on the premises; that Barton lived at that place, while he resided elsewhere, and it was in the part of the premises occupied by Barton that the officers found the booze when the descent was made on the premises.-Kingman Miner.
