VERDE WOMAN OF 83
IS DOING HER BIT
The reported discovery of potash
near Jerome, Arizona, is important,
owing to the fact that Potash has
been one of the war minerals for
which it has been difficult to find a
substitute and new deposits of which
are rare. It is hoped that the newly
discovered deposits will prove to be
commercial.

A motor boat of entirely new de
sign, remarkable for the simplicity
of its construction and excellent work,
paddled down the river from Needles
last Saturday, on a trial trip, and
stopped a short time down at the
landing west of town. This boat was
built and is owned by Bud Norton,
of Needles, and the idea is all his
own. It is nothing more nor less than
a plainjordinary river boat with a
plain,-ordinary Maxwell automobile
mounted on the. rear end of the, boat.
The make-up for navigation is very
simple. The auto is run by its own
power into proper position upon the
boat. There it is securely held in po
sition by iron clamps. On the hind
wheels, is bolted or clamped a series
of blades or paddles, and that's all
there is to it. The change is made in
a very short time. In navigating, the
chauffeur or pilot takes his seat on
the automobile, turns on the power,
and steers, the craft the same as he
would on land, a simple arrangement
having been provided for this purpose.
Mr. Norton said he made the journey
in excellent time and had no trouble
whatever in riding over the worst
whirlpools and rapids in the river.

in the federal court at Tucson to the
charge of violating neutrality, by at
tempting to take arms into Mexico.

they wcrcwithin their rights. They
promised if given a. light sentence to
go back to work, and not listen to peo
ple who may want to take up arms.
The case will be disposed of in a day

Camp Verde boasts a very high

.. . .....i. i it.;-'
nc nas an au important pan in una
great war for democracy. The Red
Cross chapter has been doing such
commendable work here, especially
one of the members, Mrs. Mary E.
Reid, is deserving of great credit.
Mrs. Reid, more familiarly known as
"Grandma Reid" has knitted 11 pairs
of sox for the soldiers since last Oc
tober. She had finished them by the
first of February and during that
time was seriously ill and unable' to
do anything for seven weeks. "
Few people in Yavapai county need
an introduction to Grandma, as she
is so well known, but for the benefit
of those who have not met her, let
me add a short sketch of her life.
Grandma will be 83 years old in
May of this year. She is the mother
of 13 children sfx of whom are liv
ing. She has had 44 grandchildren,
4G great grandchildren and two great
great grandchildren. There are few
people living, who can boast such a
record.
Grandma realizes" the seriousness
of war," too, as she lost, two brothers
and several cousins in the Civil war.
Then, as now, she did.her bit by knit
tine for those- who were called to
fight. Prescott Journal-Miner.

Did you ever notiee the difference between the sixe of erowd la sv
; store Saturday afternoon and other days of the week?
The telephone company is now serving a "Saturday aiternooa
'crowd" every day.
Since the war began the business activity of the country has been
expanding with abnormal rapidity. This has required constantly
more and more telephone aervioe for the business houses.
Complete telephone systems have been built and are maintained at
more than fifty training' camps over the country. This has taken a
tremendous amount of equipment and the services of a large number
ef skilled telephone men.
Many of our men are constantly engaged in iutalling and maintain
. ing the equipment used only by the Government in this country.
. In addition to this, our Government needed, skilled telephone men
in tho prosecution of the war, and these could be furnished only, by
the telephone companies of the country.
In spite of the war and what it has meant to this company in the
increased number of telephone messages to handle, the enlistment of
so many of our trained men, the shortage of equipment and the high
cost of materials .
. In spite of all these obstacles, we are meeting the needs ef the publia
; for telephone Bervioe la a remarkably successful -way. ' - " -'',
