4-DAY EPIDEMIC
SUbs|D|NC HERE
Local Physicians Report Few New
Cases Yesterday and Today,
Believe Peak of Sickness
Past; Was Not Serious

Reports Of Winnemucca physi-
clans today are highly encouraging
as regards the general health Of
residents here. A malady commonly
termed "four-day flu" has been con-
siderably in evidence during recent
days and for q time it was feared
an epidemic similar to that Of 1919
1920 was in prospect. But physi-
clans are unanimous today in
emphatically stating that there is
little resemblance in the two occa-
sions. The illness now prevalent is
more in the nature Of old-fashioned
la grippe, and while those "gripped"
are miserable for several days, still
little real danger attaches and the
patients are usually fully recovered
within q week.
For a day or SO 1t appeared that
q large number were due for q siege
with the illness and new cases were
being reported with rather startling
frequently, but yesterday no new
cases were reported and the physi-
clans stated they believed the peak
had been reached and that those
not now afflicted were likely to
escape.
DR.. Giroux, county health officer,
said today there is no cause for
alarm or worry and that all of his
patients are either well or improv-
ing rapidly with every prospect Of
immediate recovery, with none in
any danger whatever.
The same is true of statements
issued by Drs. Pope, Swezy and
Hall. all agreeing that new cases
have been few during the last few
days and none serious. with all pa
tients rapidly recovering.
Reports from Golconda indicate
that the apparent wave Of sickness
hit there shortly after becoming no
ticeable here, and members Of the
Keough and Mccullough families
being Ill. The condition of these
patients, however, is reported as
not being serious.

A REAL PIONEER
 IS MRS. E. W. DAVIS

Mrs. E. w. Davis, accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. J. s White, of Pasadena, arrived Monday in King man, awaiting the arrival of Frank E. Davis and his sisters, Lou and Lottle, who with their husbands and children were motoring over from the coast in three automobiles. The party went on to the Grand Canyon Wednesday morning and expect to remain there several days looking over that pie turesque country.
 Mrs. Davis and her children remov- ed from Mineral Park in the fall of 1882, taking up their residence at Downey, California. Many of the old timers of the county remember them well and favorably, and those remain ing in Kingnan had warm welcome for the family. Many of our people remember the late A .E. Davis when he was district attorney of Mohave county, and ~Sho for years was active in mining. He came to Mohave coun- . ty in the early sixties as member of the First California volunteers and was stationed at old Fort Mohave, on the Colorado river. It was from this old fort that the soldiers went out into the hills and made the first dis covery of gold in what is now the Oatman section, these men naming this district the "San Francisco, electing a recorder and making dis trict rules for the guidance of loca- tors. MT. Davis was one of the most active in the mining life of this first camp, and continued his mining activ- ities at Mineral Park and other sec tions of the county. He took up the law and was admitted to the bar, be- ing one of the most prominent mem- bers of the legal profession in the state. He was united in marriage to Miss E. w. Matthews and his widow and four children survive him. This is their first visit to Arizona since leaving it 40 years ago, with the ex- eeption of Frank Davis, who paid a short visit to Kingman several years ago. They expect to go out to Min eral Park on their return trip to look over the old scenes.

NATURALLY WE'RE PROUD

Frankly, no tire we have ever seen measures up to a Dayton. We don't say this simply because we happen to be selling Daytons-we've sold other tires.
 But, actually taken as a whole, we've never seen tire that comes up to the unusually high standard set by the Dayton.
 To start with, Daytons-both cord and fabric-are superb looking tires.
 Only the very finest materials it is possible to secure go into Daytons.
 The construction of Dayton Tires unquestionably represents the apex Of chemical and engineering skill.
 There may be other tires that Tn some particulars approach Daytons.
 But, the big point is, that no other tire you can possibly buy so complete ly combines the FINEST in every feature. It isn't just one good thing that makes the Dayton best, it is a COMBINATION OF THE BEST OF EVERYTHING that makes the Day. ton Tire the most satisfactory and economical tire you can buy. Naturally we're proud of the oppor' tunity to offer Daytons to you. Stor in sometime and look over the ne" Dayton line, whether you're ready tc buy or not.
