If you have ice water in
your veins don't read this.

Yes, Wickenburg has a few
stumbling blocks, but the only
difference between these and
stepping stones for her future is
the way we utilize them.
Yavapai Ike, who lives near
Wickenburg, is fine specimen
of Arizona cowpuncher and rides
anything that can be rode from
pair of wild steers to a cata-
maran. He's a humorist, maya
zine story writer, and would
make some woman good mate,
except that he's slept in short
hunks so long he's bald as an
oyster-no more hair than a
billiard ball. We introduced him
to Sally Snipkins, who wants to
get married, told her about his
good points and delightful hu-
NOR. Next day we asked her
about him and she said Ike was
good entertainer-when he was
asleep-and would be a splendid
man for some woman who took
in washing.
There's a substitute for smiling
good nature, but few of us care
to look for it.
Fashion experts say there will
be little change in women's
clothes for 1924. Fact is, there
is hardly enough left except for
poses plastique. "
Yavapai Ike, who wears buck
skin chapparras and a buffalo
horn to make folks think he's a
mountaineer, tells this absorbing
story on the Wickenburg editor,
who has been down about three
weeks with heart trouble or room
rent or something dramatic in
primitive Wickenburg life ever
since the election, and tells it
this way:
Well sir, H. Bushwa Watson,
who got voted fer six times
outen 1875 votes voted last Sat-
terdy fer school trusty, has ex-
planned it all, and so forth.
Bushwa he says nobody was a
caring about the election one
way or t'other, and it looked like
nobody aimen fer to vote at all.
Il got out as a candidate, said
Bushwa, 'fer to make folks take
interest, which they shore done.
Eff hadn't t run it's more'n likely
thar wouldn't been over fifteen
votes voted, but when folks
found out | was runnin' they
shore pricked up their years. My
opponent ought to be plum CRATE
full to me, as he wouldn't got
his big vote 'thout me being in
the race" ;" The Hog Club aims
fer to give Bushwa sum kind of
gift fer waking up public in
terest thisserway. .-Yayapai Ike
When your wife hits you in

HOG CLUB NOTES.
The hog crop is good-it is
much better than expected. and
Bertram Dogsinger is planning
to bring home the bacon.
If Sandy loses three 4-handed
games. Bushwa wins four and

six and loses five. how much is

Every hog player believes his
dreams will come true. They
generally do before he wakes
up.
Xmas is coming and players
are all figuring on laying aside q

When Hungry Hank moves
into a pot with his lips set in de-
termination, it's a sure thing he's
making desperate bluff. If he's
grinning behind his spectacles
and smiling like a basket OF
chips, everybody stays out.

Events of General Interest

That portion of the Central Ar
iona Highway from Wickenburg
to Hot Springs Junction, which |
has been under construction for
about a year, has at last been
completed, and Dist. Eng. E. S.
Wheeler opened the road for
travel this week. Work at the
bridge over San Domingo wash
is not quite complete but should
also be opened by December 1st.
Until it's completion slight de-
tour will be necessary along the
bank of the Hassayampa river.
With the several contracts un-
der way from Aqua Fria and
Marinette to Hot Springs the
long desired highway from Phe-
nix to Wickenburg and thence to
Prescott and Grand Canyon will
be completed in 1924.
Connecting at Wickenburg also
is the Northern Yuma county
road that runs to Parker and
California, which is now the
main travelled road thru the CEN
ter of the State. Three stage
lines are already running thru
Wickenburg to Los Angeles from
Ell Paso in addition to about a
hundred autos daily.
The California Highway COM
mission has announced it's inten-
ton to abandon the route from
Mecca to Blythe and concentrate
!; it's efforts on the Yuma and Nee
dies routes.
The new store contemplated
here by Babbitt Brothers will in
crease trade in Wickenburg; and
so per cent of the cash that now
goes out to Phoenix and else
where will remain in town.
Prices will be stabilized, profits
larger, because of more business
with more people. A new store
here this winter is the king bolt
} to greater municipality and the
first step to unloose politically
hogtied town.
The location of a highway is
is an easy matter. It's the main
tenance, year after year, that is
too often lost sight of.
i Uncle Sam and Johnny Bull
will have to twist dictator Poin-
cares mustache on that repara-
tions problem before any stabil-
ity to European business can re-
suit.
The Washington School in
Phoenix is closed because of
: scarlet fever.
Gov. Hunt is quoted as plan
ming prison labor on Arizona
highways.
Gov. Hunt has advocated re-
lection of Girand's Diamond
Creek project because it had
been hypothecated to California
interests.
Mohave county has rejected a
, $40, 600 check for taxes by United
Eastern. The amount due is
$40, 942. so.
All state elections Tuesdays in
the u. S. returned democratic
J governors, except Vermont,
which elected a republican.
, Arizona cattlemen are moving
!, lots of beef to Los Angeles this
winter. The price for good
steers is only 5 and one-half
cents, but feed is plenty and all
stock are in good condition.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 16.--Allen ~.
MEYERS, chief of the radical bureau OF
the w. ]. Burns International De-
tective Agency, was here today pre-
pared to answer the charges made
against him by Albert Bailin, alias
Albert Balanow, contained in a depo-
sition being made for use in the trial
of twenty-five alleged members of the
communist party at st. Joseph, Mich,
February &c.
Ralanow, while testifying on direct
examination. charged that Meyers
proposed that he go to Russia and
kill Lenin and Trotsky; that Meyers
told him to make a fictitious report
purporting to show that he had acted
as an agent for Big Bill" Haywood,
I. w. W. leader. transporting a trunk
of radical literature from Chicago to
n man named p. Walter in New York,
and that the trunk was to be used as
a plant" on which to base Walters
arrest.
Meyers was ordered here TO testify
for the defense. lie defined to reveal
what the nature Of this testimony
would be.
Taking Of the deposition is in
charge of Frank z. Walsh, attorney
for the defense, and q. L. Smith, pros
ecuting attorney for Michigan.
Memory Appears Affected.
Ealanow who has told a lengthy
story of alleged methods employed
by private detective agencies in in
NestigatinS radical movements, in
which he charged that the agencies
fostered radical uprisingS and eN-
plotted and organized labor organiza-
eions for monetary benefit, apparently
suffered lapse of memory yesterday
The confessed agent provacateur
was unable to tell his exact age, the
date of his birth or birthplace. He
said he had not long ago communicat- t.
ed with his mother in Russia, but
said he could not remember the name
of the town in which she resides.
Although Balanow at first refused
to state when or where he had been
naturalized, he later produced citizen
ship papers, which were read into the
record That move was regarded as
significant in view of reports here
and in New York that deportation
proceedings would be started against
him.
