DOCTOR REMOVES OWN APPENDIX WHILE NURSES
 WATCH THE OPERATION

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 12.- It wasn't the old adage that to have a job we'll done is to do il yourself that caused Dr. Robert Meals to remove his own appen- dix while lying on an operating table in a hospital here.
 The surgeon declared that tho operation was an experiment tc verify previous conclusions that the shock patients suffered from operations was largely due to an aesthesia, rather than the opera tion itself.
 Three days aftes the operation, Dr. Meals said: "I feel well enough to get up and walk. If it were safe to do so I could get up now instead of waiting for the necessary ten days"
 Dr. Meals took his place on the operating table with only the nurses. enternes and Dr. Nichols present. The head back was propped up and surgeons gown over his shoulders.
 He wore the usual surgeon s gloves and with his own hands proceeded exactly as though he was operating on an unconscious patient.
 Throughout the operation, Dr. Meals carried on joking con- versation. A local anaesthetic was applied but Dr. Meals was under considerable pain because of impossibility of anaesthesizing the inner organs.
 The operation tok half an hour and Dr. Nichols was in attendance in case of emergency.

ONE OUT OF TWELVE

We were spinning along through the crisp, spring
air at an exhilarating rate Of speed Suddenly the
Jagged edges of broken bottle, waiting to wreck
havoc with our new tires loomed just ahead in the
center Of the road We swerved to side, avoided
the danger, then stopped. "This will make inter.
esting experiment. we said driving a rod or two
before coming to stop.
In few moments another motOrlst came spin
ming along saw the bottle just in time, swerved sharp
y to the right, hesitated then stepped on the acce
erator and disappeared quickly over the hills ahead
Soon came another, then another and another, and
each time the same action was repeated. Eleven
drivers saw the danger, avoided it themselves and
then without thought for those to follow hurried
on. Then came man who differs from the mob. He
got out picked up the jagged pieces of glass; tossed
them into ditch We walked back to shake hands
and were greeted:
"Wel, | beat you to it. Some people are mighty
careless. I've got to hurry on my way, and may be
late'
So saying he threw his gears and quickly disap-
peared over the hil Probably he had the best
of all for passing up that obstacle in the road and
yet he was naturally thoughtful of those who came
after.
This little incident illustrates what is wrong with
Nogales our county and state our neighboring com
munties and the nation whole. Eleven think
only of themselves-one shows due regard for others
who must follow. Eleven in almost every community
want to it boom, want to see it develop into a
finer and happier city, but they are too engrossed in
their own affairs to stop and remove some OF the
obstacle that stand in the way of community achieve
ment The twelfth gets out, rolls Up his sleeves
and helps to clear the way for those who are to
later.
What wonderful land this will be when these
proportions are reversed-when one only will pass by
and eleven will stop and help to smooth the way.

prove profitable.

and party a warm and very cor
dial reception. They escorted us
to the old mission which is To-
Gated on an elevation that affords
an unobstructed view Of the beau
tiful valley and the mountain
range that adds picturesqueness
to the scene. It was here in 1895
that Father Saeta was killed by
the Apaches. The first priest to
become martyr in this region in
the performance of his religious
duties. The church is fairly well
preserved and has BEEN repaired
from time to time. We climbed
to the top and viewed the old cop
per bells but they are not the
original bells installed.
Pitiquito is only So miles from
Libertad on the Gulf where fish
ing parties enjoy most excellent
sport.
From Pitiquito we returned to
Altar and viewed the more mod
ern church at this point and the
site of the Altar erected by palms
that were planted by him about
that time.
The Altar district is rich in
Placergold, silver, copper, ant
mony and other minerals. A small
smelter and concentrator is be :.
ing erected near Pitiquito to
handle custom ores. There is al
so an irrigation project being
worked out by the Federal Gov
ernment that will ultimately de-
velop 100000 acres of desert land
around Altar. At present there
is no electric lights and NO sewer
system but with the building of
good roads will enable mining
companies to develop the mineral
resources, good roads will bring
home seekers to the farm lands
all of which will create a market
for American farm and mining
machinery that will be supplied
by business firms in Arizona.
The country contiguous to the
proposed mission loop tour is in
the richest mineral section, the
richest farming and cattle section
in Arizona and Sonora and it is
the most attractive three day

Great Southwest.
