EMBLEMS OF DEATH FOR TOYS.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2. —Several
thousand cases of German toys ar
rived here today.—Associated Press.
Toys! For whom? For the inno
cents carried down when the “Lusi
tania” sank? For those tear-eyect
! Belgian children who stretch forth
i little arms from which the hands
were struck off by the swords of
German officers? For those French
boys and girls with pitiful sightless, j
,eyes? For those little bodies reSting |
in the churchyards of Italy, that died,
in pain from poisoned Hun candy?
For those children slowly starved to
death in Poland or massacred in Ar
menia? '
Toys? Toys made by Huns to whom
innocence and childhood are but toys
to be played with and then crushed
and broken? Toys whose very contact
contaminates and leaves upon the
touch of babyhood invisible clots of.
blood? As well bring a deadly ser
pent into the home to spew its venom,
on the cradle. Why shall we befouL
and taint the purity of American.
Childhood with a reminder of the
fiendish treatment the Huns have
gloried in ever since that fateful
August of 1914? Can one even look
upon a Noah’s Ark “Made in Ger
many” and put from his mind those
hundreds of helpless innocents whose
silken locks are twined with sea
weed ?Can one hold a German doll in
her arms and forget the thousands,
dead from famine who once made
glad a mother’s arms? ‘ Can a boy
find delight in the contortions of a
mechanical Hun clown and forget
those brave young men. who writhed
in agony when crucified on castle
wallsfiy these same Huns? Can a ball
colored with the red of Huns fail to
suggest the flame from bursting
grenades hurlqd by arms uplifted in
the attitude of “kjamerad?”
Let those who would invite fear
some ghosts into the home to hover
around the Christmas tree buy Ger
man toys. If one would hang the
boughs with evil omens, and bid the
wail of agonized spirits float through
the branches and fan the flickering
flame of candles, let him buy German
toys. Let those who can, make mer
ry with the product of those very
hands which even at this mo
ment are eagerly firing shells with
poison gases and deadly flames and
hurling them against our own flesh
and blood.
And what of the merchant who
for sordid gain would barter these
souv.enirs of a loathsome nation and
insult the loyalty of lisping lips?
What could more delight the cunning
Hun, what more quickly bring the
sneering smile to cruel faces, or
gladden heartless hearts, or encour
age him to hope that even now we
tolerate his brutality and welcome
what he wants to sell? If now, when
as a nation we are in universal con
demnation of Htinism, yet do we hold
out our hands to accept his works?
What will he think and with what
measure shall he estimate the sincer
ity of our expressions of repugnance
and horror at what he has. done since
the sun rose this morning? What
mitigation can we claim in the
thought that America was mot yet
overseas when these trinksts were
fashioned? Even while the gaudy
paint was yet fresh upon these trin
kets were Belgian girls being drag
ged into slavery worse than death.
We do not lack for toys; toys made
in American factories, by hands
which are clean; toys also by car
loads made by our ally in Japan,
where childhood is sacred, and love,
not hate,is taught at mothers’ breasts.
Even were there none, far better our
boys and girls should go without
than find pleasure in the handiwork
of a nation which made a public
holiday to celebrate the loss of the
“Lusitania,” and which in these lat
ter days is steeped in the “glory” of
monstrosities. Could our little men
who sacrifice many a childish pleas
ure to buy war stamps and contribute
pennies to the Red Cross, and our
little mothers who knit so patiently
with hands that can barely hold the
needles, would one of these know
ly find pleasure in any toy “‘Made in
.Germany?”—H. H. Windsor.
INDORSES WAR WORK.*
That it is impossible for any gov
ernment organization to fulfill the
mission of supplying the soldiers and
sailors’ wants as do the seven welfare
organizations combined in the United
War Work Campaign, is the state
ment of Lieutenant-General Francis
Lloyd of the British army, command
ing the London district. Lord Mil
ner, secretary of state for war, also
endorses this view with a statement
that the American fighters have
shown the benefits of having these
welfare agencies with them.
PARKER, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918.
CAPTURED HUN TANK REPAIRED BY FRENCH
'
The tank seen in this French Official photograph was captured by the
I French in the recent heavy fighting j>n the western front. The tank was de
molished by the heavy French gunfire and it took these crafty ’Frenchmen
; twelve days of work under enemy fire to put it in order again. The photo
graph shows the French crew which repaired the tank and which is operating
it with great results against the enemy.
LETTERS FROM FRANCE.
Mrs. C. H. Hosfelt received’ a fevP
days ago a couple of letters, dated
October 3d and sth, respectively,
from her son, Louis J. Hosfelt, who
is now with the American forces on
the fighting line in France. As
nearly everybody in these parts
knew “Lou” Hosfelt, a few excerpts
from his letters may prove of inter
t
est. In the first of these he says:
“I don’t believe I ever felt better
in my life. Everything is about the
same here as far as I know, although
I believe there will be peace before
long—it looks that way to me. I
surely hope so because I am anxious
to get back to the states. But Ido
want to stay till we give the Ger
mans a good licking, and I hope that
won’t be long in coming.
“I guess everything in Parker is
awfully quiet. There was quite &
bunch of boys drafted from there to
serve their country.
“What little I have seen of France
reminds me a whole lot of Phoenix
valley. They raise here all kinds of
fruit, but mostly grapes. It is surely
a rich country and its lands are very
fertile.”
In the other letter he says in part:
“We are at the front for so long a
time that I don’t know whether I
like it or not, but there are all kinds
of excitement and many things to
see, all right.
“I would like to see you all and I
don’t think it will be long before I
will be able to —not if they leave it
to the ‘Yanks,” for they certainly are
fighters, believe me!
“France is a very pretty place but
I am a little afraid*it is going to be a
bit too cold here to suit me this com
ing winter. Hqwever, I can stand
it if the rest can.”
SEIZURE LAW IS HELD UNCON
STITUTIONAL.
Judge Sam L. Pattee, of the super
ior court of Pima county, in the mat
ter of McArthur Brothers against the
state of Arizona, an action wherein
the company sought the recovery of
an automobile that had been seized
under the new prohibitory law, held
that the law was unconstitutional.
The complainants attacked the con- j
stitutionality of the law on three
points, as follows:
1— That the governor’s proclama
tion calling the legislature into spe
cial session did not provide for such
legislation.
2 That the automobile seizure
was an additional punishment over
and above the penalty specified in
the state constitution.
3 That the law violated both the
state and federal constitutions in that
it did not provide the owner of the
automobile seized under the law with
due process of law to combat forfeit
ure proceedings.
The court sustained all of the ob
jections.
In rendering his opinion Judge
Pattee observed:
“This law appears to have been
drawn by someone who was in favor
of prohibition, but not its enforce
ment,” and further stated: “At the
beginning of the argument the court
expressed its opinion concerning this
remarkable statute perhaps unwisely,
but a further study of its provisions
has in no wise modified the views
there expressed. Why an act was
drawn which was subject to so many
objections is to the ordinary mind in
conceivable.”

CARD OF THANKS.
I wish to thank the citizens of
Parker for the position of honor to
which they have elected me and to
assure them that it will be my
when I take the office to work with
them arid the officers of the precinct,
county and state for a better Parker.
Do not expect a perfect justice of
the peace for we are all human and
subject to mistakes. When mistakes
are made, let’s try to right them
rather than make them worse by use
less talk.
After we have done all we can to
correct the mistake, let’s take the
lesson we should, learn from the mis
take, make use of it in the future
and go ahead with a smile of deter
mination to be more careful.
I sincerely wish for and need the
friendship of every citizen of Parker
and vicinity. Your friendship will
help me to be the officer I should be |
aad my friendship might he of 3ome
little serviec to you, at any rate I do
not see how it can harm you any.
This note is not only to those
who saw fit to vote for me in the past
election, but to all, for those of you
who voted against me were just as
sincere as those who saw fit to vote
for me, and we are all working for
the same object, “good government.”
Then let us stand together and
work for our aim.
Very sincerely,
NELLIE T. BUSH.
OLD TIMER PASSES AWAY.
Dennis A. Burke, one of the most
prominently known of Yavapai pio
neers, but since 1909 a resident of
Bouse, passed away at Mercy hospi
tal in Prescott on Sunday afternoon.
His fight against the inevitable was
heroically endured for nearly two
years, his illness being due to the bite
of a vinegeron, more commonly
known among the Indians as “The
Child of the Earth,” a small-sized in
sect. He was attacked by this dead
ly creature at night while sleeping
out on a cot at his hotel at Bouse
during warm weather, the fangs
penetrating his hand and from that
day his health declined. The wound
for months afterward did not appear
to cause him any serious trouble,
J much less was there pain at the time.
The death of this popularly known
Arizonan takes away another pioneer
of splendid fellowship and an exem
plary citizen.
Surviving is a widow, who was
with him in devotion to the end.
Three daughters and one son also
are left, Mrs. J. W. Kramer, Mrs. F.
A. Cartmell, Mrs. E. Goodwin, and
Beverely Burke.- —Prescott Journal-
Miner.
CARD OF THANKS.
To my friends in Parker who so
splendidly remembered me at the
polls on election day, thereby re
electing me to office of constable
of Parker precinct, I desire to express
my gracious appreciation pf the favor
and extend to one and all my most
sincere thanks.
JOHN ROBERTS.
CAMPBELL PROBABLY ELECTED.
According to the returns from
Phoenix Tom Campbell has been
elected governor over Fred T. Colter,
although the democratic state cen
tral committee claims* Colfer’s elec
tion by a small margin. With the
exception of governor, the entire
democratic state ticket was elected
by good majorities.
“Y” SERVICE IS FOLLOWING THE
FLAG.
Arizona does not have to go far
] afield to find out what the Y. M. C.
A. is doing for the boys in the service.
Letters come constantly with allu
sions to the work being done at
home and abroad. Here for example
is what Howdrd J. Smith, of King
man, Arizona, writes to his mother
from France:
“If it were not for the Y. M. C. A.
here I don’t know what the American
troops would do. No tobacco would
be obtainable until it was brought in
by this organization, and in any
other instances it has been a blessing
to us.”
Private Donald C. Blair of company
E. Eleventh Engineers Railway,A. E.
F. France, writes his mother:
“As I said before the Y. M. C. A.
quarters here are very large and
nothing is lacking to make the men
feel at home. They sell hot and
cold drinks and sandwiches all day
at a minimum price; also candy and
tobacco. They always have reels
and good film in the evening, and
sometimes dancing and games. There
are several billiard tables and a large
leading room, and in the afternoon
there is generally a concert.”
Private Blair is from Tucson.
Waldo White of Yuma, who is
with the 158th Infantry in France,
in writing to his father, C. M. White,
at Yuma, says:
“The Y. M. C. A. man caught up
with us yesterday (the regiment was
evidently advancing at the front)
and says that as soon as the front,
line is supplied that he can get a
truck of tobacco for us. The supply
department was very prompt in get
ting grub to us and good American
food was certainly welcome after
eating English chow so long. To
bacco and matches cannot be had in
the village and when we asked for
candy the people threw up their
hands.”
WHAT ABOUT COPPER AFTER
THE WAR?
'‘What will copper do after the
war?” is the question that is now
absorbing the interest of the copper
world.—Wall Street Journal
j That the potential demand will be
enormous is generally conceded. But
it is pointed out that the usual refer
ences to various important future
sources of demand, such as the re
habilitation of Europe, or the whole
sale electrification of the railroads
in the United States, have been more
or less academic, and these fields of
absorption cannot be counted on until
conditions in this country have be
come fairly stable and the reconstruc
tion of Europe is well in progress.
It is claimed that the present
huge consumption would result in a
price 50 per cent to 75 per cent high
er than the government’s maximum
of 26 cents, were the market: permit
ted free movement, and on this basis
a demand amounting to only 56 per
cent to 67 per cent of the current
war would sustain a
price of 26 cents in an open market.
If this theory is correct, domestic
consumption and exports 'combined
would need total only at the rate of
1,350,000,000 to 1,600,000,000 lbs.
annually in order to uphold the
present price. In 1913 exports alone
of copper in all forms amounted to
1,073,292,612 pounds.
The apparent consensus is that the
trend of prices in either direction
will be gradual,subject to the normal
fluctuations of an open market. The
situation is generally regarded, how
ever, as possessing elements of un
precedented perplexities.
PRAISE WAR WORK CAMPAIGN.
“One of the finest things done dur
ing the war” is the verdict pronounc
ed by Lloyd Harris, chairman of the
Canadian War Mission on the war
work of the Y. M. C. A., in a state
ment urging support of the United
W&r Work Campaign. Mr. Harris
designated the one organization
with which he was familiar of the
group composed of the Y. M. C. A.,
Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War
Council K. of G., War Camp Commun
ity Service, Jewish Welfare Board*,
American Library Association and
Salvation Army.
UNITED WAR FUND.
Monday, November 11th will be
opening day for the United War
Fund. The committee hopes to make
this a banner day and go over the
top in one day. Everyone will
be asked to give to this fund; all are
interested as it is for the comfort of
the boys who are giving their lives
for us. Let us give them all we can
in comfort and pleasure which will
be very little in comparison. Please
help us to help them.

THE Him
METHOD EKCELS
(By Irving A. Palmer.)
The concentration of ores by flota
tion is undoubtedly the most importr
ant development In metallurgy since
; the introduction of the cyanide pro-.
! cess. Although it is but seven years
j since the first successful froth flota
j tion plant in the United States was
built yet the tonnage of ore now con
centrated in the country by this
method exceeds that treated by any
other non-ferrous metallurgical pro
cess. At the beginning of 1917 It was
W3timated that more than 30,000,000
tons of ore was annually concentrated
by flotation in the United States. This
tonnage exceeded that of all the cop
per smelters or of all the gravity con
centration plants. Since that time the
percentage in favor of flotation has no
doubt increased No other metallurgy
cal process has ever made such head
way in so short a period. At present
it is used with success in almost
every mining district in the world
where concentration is practiced.
In the flotation process the valuable
1 minerals of an ore are separated from
1 the gangue or worthless portions by
causing them to float on water,while
• the gangue sinks to the bottom. As
the valuable minerals are usually
heavier than the gangue minerals It
will be seen that flotation reverses the
principle of gravity concentration, in
which the heavier minerals go to th?
bottom and the lighter ones above are
washed away. The seeming impossi
bility of causing heavy minerals to
float is accomplished in a number of
ways, the underlying principles of
which have never been thoroughly
explained. In spite of the fact that
millions of tons of ore are concentra
ted by flotation no one yet fully un
derstands why certain minerals can
be made to float while others cannot.
The absence of a satisfactory working
theory has rendered progress in .the
art largely a matter of patient ex
perimenting.
If a quantity of pulverized ore con
taining metallic sulphides or free
metals be agitated in water contain
ing a small amount of oil it is found
that the oil shows a tendency to con
centrate on the surface of the sul
phides or of the free metals and put
on the particles of oxidized minerals
or of the gangue. On the other hand,
the water shows a tendency to adhere
to, or to wet, the oxidized minerals
and the gangue. If, now, by means
of agitation, or by the blowing in
of air, bubbles are produced In the
liquid it will be found that the
oiled particles of sulphide or metal
tend to collect on the surfaces
of the bubbles, and that the
sulphide-laden bubbles tend to coal
ese into froth which floats on the
surface and cannot be removed. The
particles of oxidized mineral and of
gangue, not being oiled, are not at
tracted to the bubbles and hence sink
to the bottom. In many cases flota
tion can be effected by the use of an
acid which generates bubbles of gas
to which the sulphide particles adhere
and for which the particles of oxidiz
ed minerals and gangue have no par
ticular attraction. In brief, commer
cial flotation is based upon the selec
tive affinity of air or gas bubbles for
particles of sulphide mineral or of
metal which may or may not beVoiled.
Other substances than oils and acids
have been used Successfully in pro
ducing flotation, and good sepa
rations have been made by using
any one or % more of many differ
ent oils, acids, and other compounds,
and by applying agitation and aera
tion in dozens of different ways.
But the real reason as to why
some substances are better than
others, or as to why some minerals
float and others do not, are as yet un
known. The most that can he said
at present Is that metals and sulphide
minerals with metallic luster usually
can be made to float, but oxidized
metallic minerals and gangue cannot.
However,mercury sulphide,which kail
no luster, and graphite, which haa a
luster, but which is not a sulphide,
are both susceptible to flotation.
Only by trial Is it possible to deter
mine what can be done • with any
given mineral.
Called to the Colors.
Bernard Roberts, D. A. Martinez
and Henry Turk, who recently pars
ed the physical examination and
were accepted for service In Jhe
army, have been notified to report
for duty next Monday.
