STATE FAIR NEWS Free Picture Show Think of it, a picture show that lasts a week and does not cost you a cent! Good show, too, fine variety and a program that not onlv has "heart interest" but soaks one full of information he ought to have. That is one of the many good things that will be offered to every visitor to the State Fair this year, November 12-17. The big picture show will be in the new mining building 50x150 feet, now under construction. Prof. Chas. F. Willis of the University of Arizona is in charge of the mineral depart ment of the fair and is the man who will be most to biame for the novel aspect that branch of the bis show will assume this year. Take notice, everybody! Beginning with the year 1917, the mineral depart ment will cease to bea mere "still-life" exhibit over which hangs a tomb-like silence, but will be transformed into a palpitating, nerve tickling, bureau of interest, where there will be some thing doing every minute. The bark ers for the living skeleton, the fat lady and the boneless wonder will have to strike a new key if they keep the crowd away from the minerals build ing very long at a time. "Safety First," is the slogan of the hour. Mine rescue work and first aid do not apply alone to mines and railroads, but to every human activ ity. Capable instructors will be on hand to tell the public ( how to break its leg, mash its finger or step on a nail and then give the wounds tempor ary dressing until the doctor comes. The mine rescue exhibitions, especial ly the gas helmet feature, will explain just how life is preserved in the trenches, and the war is about as live ly a subject as one can discuss these days. Then there will be lectures telling the prospector just how to proceed to determine the mineral contents of his latest discovery, by means of a pocket assaying outfit that only costs a trifle and the use of which will be demon strated. Printed booklets on the sub ject will also be distributed. Then there will be the picture shows going on all the time describing these and kindred subjects as well as the show ing of some popular educational reels. CASINO THEATRE.

SLACKERS MUST GO OR FACE THE MUSIC Provision has been made by the war department at Washington for the ex amination of slackers who are "plain ly disqualified for physical reasons." This was the information received by Col. Fred S. Breen today from Pro vost Marshal General Crowder in re ply to a telegram in which the former made inquiry as to whether or not cripples should be entrained for the training headquarters. Under the previous ruling, Col. Breen had been instructed to entrain all slackers without physical exami nation. This was the procedure adopt ed by the war department as punish ment for the men who failed to an swer the summons of local boards. The regulation did not even provide for the exemption of cripples or blind men. Slackers who are not apparently in poor health, however, will be forward ed to the training headquarters with out physical examination. Born To the wife of Walter A. Mo ser, the Somerton Grocer, a boy. All well. IS YOUR NAME HERE; TRIAL JURY OCTOBER TERM Chas. ,F. Hanners, Bob Crowder, Harry S. Humphrey, Wm. Matthews, W. J. Trevorrow, T. A. Woodruf, Jef ferson W.

LETTER OF GERMAN MINISTER RELATING TO SWEDISH ENVOY . IN MEXICO IS MADE PUBLIC The deportment of state makes pub lic the following translation of a let ter dated March 8, from the German minister at Mexico City to the imper ial German chancellor: "Imperial Legation, Mexico. "To His Excellency the Imperial Chancellor: "Herr Folke Cronholm, the Swedish charge d'affairs here, since his arri val here has not disguised his sym pathy for Germany, and has entered into close relations with this legation. He is the only diplomat thru whom in formation from a hostile camp can be obtained. Moreover, he asts as in termediary for official diplomatic in tercourse between this legation and your excellency. In the course of this he is obliged to go personally each time to the telegraph office, not sel dom quite late at night, in order to hand in the telegrams. "Herr Cronholm was formerly at Pe king and at Tokio, and was respon sible for the preliminary arrange ments which had to be made for the representation of his country in each case. Before he "came out here he had been in charge of the consulate general at Hamburg. Herr Cronholm has not got a Swedish but only a Chi nese order at present. "I venture to submit to your excel lency the advisability of laying before his majesty the emporor the name of Herr Cronholm, with a view to the crown order of the second cross being bestowed upon him. It would per haps be desirable- in order not to ex cite the enemy's suspicion, to treat with secrecy the matter of the issue of the patents until the end of the war. should the decision be favorable to my suggestion. This would mean that the matter would be communicated to no one but the recipient and his govern ment, and even to them only under the seal of secrecy, while the puMica tion of the bestowal of the decora tion would be postponed until the end of the war. "I should be particularly grateful to your excellency if I could be furnished with telegraphic news of the bestowal of the decoration which I strongly rec ommend in view of the circumstances detailed above. "VON ECKHARDT." MEXICAN "CITIZENS ARE EXEMPT FROM DRAFT No Mexican citizens working in any of the American states along the Mex ican border are to be taken into the United States army, nor are they liable to conscription unless they have taken out first papers to become ac tual citizens of the United States. This is made definite and clear in a letter from Provost Marshal General Crowder. The full text of the tele gram is as follows: "Washington, Sept. 19. "Gen. Crowder, in a letter to Sen ator Phelan, states that under con scription law no Mexican citizens working in border states are liable to conscription unless they have applied for naturalization and taken out first papers. This letter was written to as sure Mexican aliens, particularly in Southern California. Like all resi dents, Mexican aliens were required to register, but can claim exemption on ground that they are aliens. JAMES D. PHELAN." CANADA HITS THE KAISER. Canada has prohibited the use ot wheat in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages. EVELYN HACKETT, BELOVED DAUGHTER OF YU MA, TENDERLY LAID TO IfcEST MONDAY. Evelyn Hackett, beloved daughter of Sumner and Mrs. Hackett, Who met death in an automobile accident ai Richmond, Cal., one week ago. was tenderly laid to rest in ;.he Yuma ceni etary this morning. Services were held at the Johnson mortuary conduc ted by Rev. James Albert Crouch of the Fort Yuma Methodist Church and a life-long friend of the family. "Nearer, My God To Thee" and other touching selections were rendered by School Superintendent Miss Nora Morrow, Mrs. George Heigel and others. The chapel was filled early and scores were unable to obtain admit tance. During the discource by Rev Crouch, illustrating in word pictures the beautiful character of the de ceased, there were few dry eyes in the room from the smallest child to the oldest grizzled veteran present everyone feeling how useless langu. age is on such an occasion. Yuma officials, busy men, nearly all Yuma school teachers, scholars from the grammar school nearby, former classmates of the deceased and many friends from all parts of Yuma county ALL ABOARD FOR STATE FAIR BIGGER AND BET TER THAN EVER. The State Fair should be, and will be, bigger and better this year than ever before. This is not gush, .as thqre' are good reasons for the statement. Never before has a nation's need been in such complete harmony with all the purpose for which state exposi tions are created. Never before have all interests in the state seemed to co-operate so willingly toward the suc cess of the fair. And not for three or four years past, have the people of the state been so well able to attend the fair. Rising to the occasion the fair com mission seeks for commensurate ex pansion in every department. The premiums in all departments are more liberal than ever before. New classes are added and new features display ed. The harness races will call for not less than $27,000, which is $15,000 more than was offered last year. Ot this sum credit should be given to the mining companies which have stood the guarantee of $10,000. The running races are proportionately provided for. In the neighborhood ot $25,00 goes to premiums on general exhibits. A new mining building is MEAT AT 10C A POUND. Canadians are eating a new meat. All that is necessary to make whale meat a common dish, says a drspatch from Voctoria, B. C, is arrangement for proper distribution. In that city recently four tons of fresh whale were Yuma Project cotton is turning out even better than ex pected, and that is saying a whole lot when we remember that many of our cotton growers expect to get upwards of two bales per acre. If the supreme court upholds our rate-fixing ordinance, recently passed by the city council, there will be no need of "municipal ownership." Therefore all the more necessity for an early decision on that all-important measure. Now that the kaiser has offered a reward of 400 marks, or less than $100 for the first American soldier, dead or alive, what's the matter with offering our Sammies a mil lion dollars if they march into Berlin? By the way, Mr. Chairman Jones of the corporation com mission, owes me ten dollars on my bet that he dared not over-ride Judge Baxter and hold a hearing in Phoenix. Our own Judge Lindeman vouched that I would pay my bet if I lost, but I could get no one to vouch for Mr. Chairman Jones and he still owes the bet. I will gladly divide with any one who can make the collection. While over in Imperial Valley last week I noted several cotton fields along the railroad between Niland and Calex ico that seemed to be suffering for the want of water. And yet just across an imaginary line the crops seemed to be in first slass shape, which leads one to believe that much of the disaster over there could have been averted, if the farmers had cleaned the silt from their ditches. The county fair promises to be the best ever. Our farm, garden and orchard products this year surpass anything ever before seen in the state, but perish the thought if you have any idea Yuma county will ever take the first prize at the state fair. Past experiences teaches that the powers-that-be at the state fair hardly know that Yuma is on the map. However, we will show 'em something here in Yuma. were there to honor the young women whom to know was to love. "I cannot understand why those who love God fear death. I have no such fear," were among the very last expressions of Evelyn Hackett in con versation with her mother. Her earn est Christian character, instilled by splendid Christian parents, was ever in evidence in act and word, and her lovable presence will be hard to fill. Resolutions of condolences were re ceived from many quarters, One from the dead girl's classmates at the Ber keley university. There were -22 in the class and it bore the signatures of, all. Members of Yuma Lodge No. 17, F. & A. M., of which .Sumner Hackett was a charter member, had charge of the major part of the details today and went in a body to the cemetery, where the services begun at the chap el, were concluded. 'Deceased was born at Phoenix, 19 years ago,, and Mr. Hackett was trans ferred to the post of observer of the Yuma Weather Station soon after. The Examiner joins with the entire people of Yuma in condolences to the bereaved parents in their great loss. under construction and plans are laid to make this feature a "live" one in stead of a "dead" exhibit. The big mines have always had fine exhibits. This year they will be increased and jiew features added- A moving picture will give a continuous performance in the mineral building not confined to one thing but to a variety of reels. There will also be lectures on ore de terminations, first aid, safety first and demonstrations of the use of the gas helmet. The live stock departments will be better represented than ever before. Superintendent Van Kirk says he ex pects 500 animals in his "cow" de partment. All the horses not sent to France are invited to be present. And there are more and better babies in Arizona than ever before. Lots of them will be on exhibition. The departments under the direc tion of the women will be given more room and better facilities than ever before, and the fair grounds are al ready "littered up" with busy women. All this means that the fair organ ization having planned big things, ex pects big support. The date is Novem ber 12-17. Get your traveling bag ready. received and put on sale in every mar ket in the city at the cheering price of 10c a pound. The meat is said to be tender and appetizing. Each whale produces about seven tons of edible flesh. In the Canadian city instructions for cooking and re cipes for various whale dishes are given with every order sold.
