Men Away From Home
May Register Here
For Army On FRIDAY

City clerk Jack Dawson has SET
aside Friday. May %, as the day for
registration OF men eligible for the
selective CONSUMPTION. but who will
not be in their home cities on June 5
The great registration day. This
applies to travelling men and others
who are transients. or to men who
are here temporarily.
The plan is to have them report at
the city clerks office in the city Jail
Friday and fill out the registration
blanks Cards showing they have
done this viii be given TO them, and
these cards they are expected TO mail
to the registration officials in their
home cities.
Attention has been called to the
fact that men over 80 years Of age.
but less than 81 on June 5, will be
subject to registration. and will vio-
late the law If they do not register.
4 man may be 80 years, II months
and % days old and would still have
to register in case his 31st birthday
did not fall before June 5. Many
men have had the mistaken idea
that If they were past their 30th
birthday, they were not subject to
registration, clerk Dawson said.

50 CENT AD.
PULLS $4,000
Brings Man Here From Far
Away Vermont, Who, En-
Unused, Buys Property.

A so cent reader" advertisement
IN The Herald has sold a piece of
property at 500 Myrtle avenue valued
at s26.5o0. What is more remarkable
is the fact that the purchaser OF the
property is a resident of a little vii
lage in Vermont, thousands Of miles
from FL Paso. The story Of the "ad"
and its result is an interesting one.
Three weeks ago T. z. Head, OF
the real estate firm OF Ramey Broth
ers, inserted a small advertisement in
the classified page Of The Herald.
1t was about q piece Of property for
sale that was a fine investment. The
ad cost 60 cents and il ran two days.
VermOnfer Comes to See.
A week or so later Mr.. Head re-
ceiyed 3 letter from George ". SQuier.
Of South Hero. Vt Mr. Squier is the
owner Of a chain Of hotels in Yer
mont and IS reputed to be wealthy.
In his letter he asked for more details
Of the investment mentioned IN the
little ad- He also said that he had
read the ad in The Herald. Mr.. Head
replied and urged Mr.. Squier to come
here in person and investigate FL
Paso's possibilities in the way OF in
vestment
bOcomes EhthuAeNs Locates.
Last week the Vermonter arrived
here and was given a thorough dem
Onstration OF FL PasO's assets ana
prospects. He became so enthused
that he decided to locate here. His
first investment was the purchase Of
the property at 500 Myrtle avenue,
mentioned in The Herald ad that
aroused his interest. The property
consists Of a two story combination
store and apartment house. It was
owned by ". c. Shaw and the price
Maid for it by Mr.. Squires was S26, 500.
The deal was made by Mr. Head
But that's not all. Mr. Squier has
returned to Vermont to dispose OF
his holdings and has decided to make
Fl Paso his future home. He expects
10 return here in November to invest
the remainder Of his money. Tt was
all done by a 60 cent ad IN The
Herald.

JEROME MINERS
VOTE To STRIKE
United Verde Says Vote Is
Not Representative; VIII
Operate the Mines.

Jerome. Ariz., May 22.-Although
granted an increase in wages Of 30
cents a day. miners employed in the
United Verde mine and smelter have
voted to strike. The miners demand
ed a closed shop, 4 checking system
and appointment of a grievance COM
mittee in addition to the demand for
more pay. All demands except that
for more pay were rejected By the
company.
Other Companies Increase Pay.
The vote was 543 to % in favor Of
a strike, according 10 members Of the
union. The strike VIII become ef
fective Immediately after the official
announcement Of the result Of the
vote is made, it was stated. Other
companies in the district followed
suit in granting the wage increase
and IN refusing the other demands.
VIII Operate Mines.

over IS percent of the miners in
this district are members OF the IN
ternational Union Mine, Mil and
Smelter workers, formerly the West
ern Federation of Miners About 25
percent affiliate with the jerome
local.
strike OF the local alone would
not be serious, but If all the unions
called out the miners the mines would
be tied up indefinitely. II is believed
hardly possible that a spread Of the
strike TO all mines OF the district can
be prevented.
Members of the Verde District Mine
Operators association say that the
tactics of the union in taking the vote
yesterday made il tmpossib bic for them
TO meet the union demands. Probably
100 new members signed yesterday
and Immediately voted. It is charged

cate Many Changes in

In the circles OF the faithful Il

to have their pay stopped.
It is alleged that gross irreguIari-
ties discovered in the management OF
the city warehouse viii result in a
change all around in that department.
Four Changes Spoken of.
4 strong pressure is being brought
to bear by the old regime, it is said
to keep Jack Dawson in as city clerk
but an equally strong effort is being
made by prominent supporters of the
Davis ticket to have that job given
to Horace Blum or Edgar W. White,
with the chances in favor of Dawson
holding on. L P Jones is to take
the place Of c W. Peale as custodian
of the city warehouse. A. H. Johnson.

Burri's place as city purchasing
agent Geo Espy, former city engi-
neer, or J. ". Carter, former assistant

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Tomorrow--Norma Talmadge, per- haps the most popular of the younger school of motion picture stars and who recently left the Triangle com pany to appear as the star of her own producing company, under the Selzn- ick banner, will soon be seen in the first of her new productions, "Panthea." This is perturbation of the famous novel by Monckton Hoffe, in which Mime. Olga Petrova starred in this country and which was received with acclaim by the public and press throughout Europe just be- fore the war. It is reported to be an intensely powerful and dramatic pro duction, with one of the most appeal ing love stories ever seen.
 An excellent cast has been utilized in the production of this great fea- ture photoplay, which was directed by Allan Dwan. formerly one of the leading producers of Triangle pie lures.
 This picture will be shown as a benefit for the Musical Coterle, to- morrow afternoon and night.
