PHOENIX, Aug 16.-There is a
story going the rounds at the capitol
that Company III of Ray will be
homeless when they return from the
front. 1t was with some effort that
it was possible for the company to
pay $4,000 a month for rent for thei1
armory. The space occupied is the
basement of the Virgins building a.:
Ray and the rent above mentioned
has been paid since the organization
of the company Notice has been
given by the landlord, H. R. Virgins
that he had now increased the rem:

an armory, so thy cannot meet til
demands of their landlord, so tenn
porarily at least the company will be
without a roof over it's head. There
is gossip that back of the action taken
by Landlord Virgins is a story, the
beginning of which dates back some
time.
Practically from the organization OF
Company H the owner of the Ray
armory, H sR. Higgins, has been a
member of the militia company and

DON'T FAIL TO REGISTER

The registration in Pinal county has pro-
ceeded slowly and few of those qualified to reg
lister realize that the primary period ends Septem
ber second Registration may be made before
any justice of the peace at the office of the coun
ty recorder in Florence All good citizens should
register. In choosing candidates at the primary
those who have the best interests of Pnal county
in mind have an opportunity to make true progress
along the lines of better government.
Conditions arising as the political campaign
has progressed have caused many qualified elect
ors, who had heretofore registered without desig-
mating party afiliation, to now desire to state
political preference in order that they may have
an opportunity to vote for partisan candidates at
the primary Where registration has heretofore
been made and no party affliation designated,
such opportunity now presents itself to the voter
Legally those who have thus registered, without
party affiation, may now change their registra-
tion and designate the party with which they de-
sire to affiliate. In many instances, according to
reports from other counties the Hunt -Olney con-
test has been responsible for causing hundreds of
voters to change their registration so as to indi-
cate their affliation with the democratic party

opinion existing between local sports

number Of years.
The new law proposes to cut six
months off the while wing season and
begin the season July 18th in the
place Of June 1st. 1t also reduces the
white wing limit from thirty-five to
twenty-five and the quail limit from
twenty y-five to twenty Thirty days

quail season.

Germans Gave Warning
Of Verdun Bombardment

Paris, March IA vivid

famous officer who writes:
"As an actor in the heroic
drama being played at Verdun
want to assure you that the
Mouse fortress will remain in

spired by the attitude of the
troops, whose renown sur
passes that of all the heroes of
ancient and modern times.
Enemy aviators, proudly pre-
sumptuous, dropped ironical
leaflets among US promising
US bombardment, beside
which our Champagne cannon
ade would appear childish. The
leaflets said that we must ex-
pect 100 hours of colossal bonn
bardment. In reality that time
was far exceeded.
But our commander-in- chief
issued the order, we must hold
on to these positions at all
costs and die rather than yield.
THAT order we fulfilled"

under the complete control of a single
individual tomorrow when the stockhold-

mington, Del.
1t will mark another step in the SEN
sational feud in the du Pont family,
which came to light last December. At
that time Philip F. du Pont. backed by
several members Of the family, brought
suit against Pierre s du Pont, president
Of the company.
In this action the plaintiff sought to
prevent the payment of dividends from
powder stock earnings to the du Pont
Securities Company. Some $50, OO0, 900 was
involved. The real motive, however. was
to prevent Pierre S. du Pont from carry
ing out his avowed purpose of making
the company a one-man concern. with
himself as master.
This ambition will be achieved tomor-
row, it is said, when Alfred I. du Pont,
Francis I. du Pont and William du Pont
will be forced out of the directorate The
men who will be elected to succeed them
will owe their office to Pierre s. du Pont,

Predetermined raids and outragcs by

Juarez as one of the columns OF a

brought evident unrest IN the Mexican

with the crossing Of the first American
troop over the International Bridge.
The reports Of Villas activities during
the day include a rapid movement Of his
troops south from Corralitos, on the
Mexican Northwestern Railway toward
Casas Grandes, also on the lire OF rail-
road and about thirty miles away. From
Coralitos to Dudlan, six miles north of
