A WOMAN'S QUESTION.
Copyright Ixau ocaalmer cc Marx
A
One hundred and eighty-six years ago Washington was horn '
T this time every year, you are reminded of the old story of
George Washington and the cherry tree.
But this year, let us think of George Washington at Valley
Forge and at Yorktown, when he was laying the foundation of our
United States on the principles of freedom and democracy.
Today we are defending these same principles and in the heart
of every American is the loyal resolve that the life of Washington
shall not have been lived in vain. Millions in men and billions in
money, we are ready to give to such a cause.
Commemorate him this day and do your part, whatever it
may be.

Many inquiries have come to the
state bureau of mines as to the re
sults of failure to file application of
notice to hold mining claims under
Fublic Resolution No. 12 before the
required date, December pi, as many
notices were filed at a later date.
Thru the courtesy of the' Honor
able Carl Hayden, the following opin
ion has been given by Clay Tallman,
j commission of the General Land Of-
fice at Washington, that it wouldseem
j that the failure to file notice of -inten-
tion to hold a mining claim on or be-,
. fore December 31, 1917 in no way af- j
i fected the possessory title unless' the j
, said claims were relocated between
that date and the actual date of fil
ing. j
For instance, if a man failed to file
until January 10, and his claim were
not relocated between December 31
and January 10 he would not lose
title.
This is an important opinion, for it
will affect many cases.

Do you know you have asked for the
costliest thing
Ever made by the Hand above
A woman s heart and a woman's life,
And a woman's wonderful love?
Do'you know you have asked for this
priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy,
Demanding what others have died to
win
Withjthe reckless dash of a boy?
You have written my lesson of duty
out, j
Man-like you have questioned me
Nbw stand at the bar of my woman's
soul
Until I shall question thee.
You require your mutton shall always
be hot,
Your socks and your shirts shall be
whole,
I require your heart to be true as
God's stars.
And pure as Heaven your soul.
i
You require a cook for your mutton
and beef;
I require a far better thing;
A seamstress you're wanting for
stockings and shirts
I look for man and a king.
A king for a beautiful realm called
home
And a man that the Maker, God,
Shall lpmk upon as he did x the first
and say, "It is very good." ,
I am fair-and young, but the rose will
fade
From my soft young cheek one day
Will you love me then 'mid the falling
leaves,
As you did 'mid the bloom of May?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and
deep
I may launch my all on its tide?
A loving woman finds Heaven or Hell
On the day she is made a bride.
I require all things that are grand
and true,
All things that a man should be;
If you give this all, I would stake my
life
To be all you demand of me.
If you cannot do this a laundress and
cook
You can hire with little, to pay;
But a woman's heart'and a woman's
life '
Are not to be won that way.

Ground glass in samples of 606, the
universally used blood specific, was
discovered recently by County
Physjfiian Chas. E. Rooney, after he
had injected a portion into the arm of
a woman about to become a mother
The woman was suffering from a
terrible blood disease and had appeal
ed to the physician for relief.
Ground glass in large quantities is
plainly seen with the naked eye in the
powdered remedy now on hand at the
physician's office. 606, or Novarseno
benzol "billon" was formerly only
made in Germany, but to avoid the
hideousness of death by the ground
glass route the medicine is now made
in P,aris and reaches this country
thru Montreal, Canada and is sold by
the Brown Prescription Labratory of
Los Angeles to Yuma druggists.
Just how much of the murderous
stuff has been sold in Yuma or its ef
fect, is hard to determine, but there is
no doubt of the intent of Germans to
murder Americans ,by the wholesale
While glass in food taken into the
stomach means quick death, its injec
tion into the blood thru the veins may
be a lingering agony, as the glass is
very likely inocculated with deadly
germs, which nulify the benefits of
the blood medicine and hastens death.
This is the first time Hun fright
fulness has been unearthed here since
the war began and is a warning to all
citizens to beware of fine foods and
powdered .medicines. Dr. Rooney has
wired his discovery to Washington.
Altho clouds threatened yesterday;
and a chill wind blew from the west,
only a trace of rain fell in this coun
try. The stages reaching here from
San Diego report the deepest sndw
on the mountains recorded in three
years. At Summit four inches of
snow on the level was. recorded.
