SUBSCR|PT|O IONS ID LIBERTY BONDS
 CLOSE TODAY

Today being the last day in which to subscribe for the Liberty Bonds therC has been rush of eleventh hour purchasers to both of the local banks in order to get in on the subscriptions hc:orc the closing hour. The people of Clifton have subscribed for large amount of tic bonds, the two banks reporting total subscriptions of S104, 000. %. It is estimated that the to- tai in the Clifton Morenci disrict will amount to $200,000 % or more.
 G-eenlee county in general has arisen to the occasion nobly and while there are many who would like to subscribe but cannot for various req sons, the total will make fair show ing when compared with other parts of the country more thickly populated and with greater wealth proportionate- ly. Through the vigorous campaign made throughout the country in behalf of the gigantic loan the people have
 come to realize the importance of the task and now appreciate that it is going to take money as well as manDOOu to Wln the war, ana as a rule
 the purse-strings of the nation have been loosened and undoubtedly the
 two billion asked for will be subscribed in the allotted time.
 One feature of the subscription in
 Greenlee county is the fact that the
 bonds bought range from $50 to 50,000
 and they have been bought by the
 rank and file of citizenship, the work ing man subscribing cheerfully to the limit of his power side by side with the man of greater means. The
 only large purchase made in the dis trict was that of the Arizona and New
 Mexico Railway which subscribed for $50, ,O0O. % worth of the bonds. When considered that aside from this large
 purchase the balance of the $200,000 subscribed in the district is made up of individual subscriptions the show ing is most creditable one and the people of this section may be counted on to do their full share in aiding
 the nation in the present conflict.

WHY FIRST ISSUE 5000, ,ooo,o 900

The first issue of bonds-$2, ,OOO.- 000,000-has not been determined by any arbitrary decision or judgment; it has been determined by the actual necessities of the situation. It is the least possible sum that we can afford to provide for the immediate conduct of the war. We are trying to spread the payment for the bonds over as large a period as possible so that there shall be no financial disturb ance, and we are going to redeposit the proceeds in the banks upon some equitable plan so that there shall be no interference with business. This money is not going to be taken out of the country"

COPPER SILVER, LEAD, SOAR
 ING IN PRICE AS DEMANDS GROW

NEW YOK, June 12.-War de- mands, which long ago virtually swept the market bare of spot cop per, are rapidly diminishing the market supplies of silver and lead. Bar silver lose to IT cents an ounce today, an advance of Is over the price of the early part of the month and within two cents of the extreme price of last Feb ruary..
 The entrance of the United States into the war has given additional impetus to the inquiry for all the baser metals, it is said, in trade circles.
 Demand for silver has become more acute. Increased supplies of silver have recently come out of Mexico mines, but the demand for the metal for war purposes is still in excess of supply.

CITY POLICE JUDGE
 UNDER SUSPICION

The dignity of the town of Clifton was last week given a severe jolt when City Clerk and Police Judge Danenhauer narrowly escaped arrest. The judge had taken a pleasure jaunt in his auto to the Gila river and was returning home after dark when at a point on the state highway he was passed by Sheriff Slaughter in his big Cad, the latter being on the alert for violators of the prohibition law. On account of the darkness the officer failed to recognize Judge Dan- enhauer at the wheel of the car but his hawk eye however noticed that the back part of the machine was loaded with something looking mighty suspi- cious and covered with a tarpaulin.
 The sheriff slowed down and waited for suspected car to come up with him when he would proceed to search 1t and make an arrest. Sheriff Slaughter received the surprise of his life when the car came up with him and he saw that the driver was the dispenser of justice for the Town of Clifton. The sheriff, however, couldn't resist the temptation to examine the load in the back of the Judges machine and gin gerly lifted the covering, having no desire to arrest ''hiZZner' for boot logging and fearful of what he might find underneath What he discovered was a fine bunch of cordwood. Being somewhat disgusted the sheriff told Judge Danenhauer that he ought to be arrested on general principles anyway The judge lost no time in putting 'er in high and hitting the trail for home, being thankful that his load was not of the contra band variety
 Both parties decided to keep the affair quiet, but owing to a leak" it became known, and one party mali ciously suggested that the wood was hollow and the inside filled with booze, but the accusation is discredited by all who know the Judge.
 A PRIVILEGES; NOT REQUIREMENT
 Some confusion has arisen relative to the privilege granted to subscribers for one $50 bond or one $100 bond to pay the full amount at once. with the assurance of an immediate allotment in full and delivery of an interim cer- tificate at the earliest possible mo- ment
 It should be clearly understood that this is privilege and not require meht. The subscriber for one $50 bond or one $100 bond may avail himself of this privilege of full payment, or he may pay 3 per cent upon application and the balance as provided for other bonds; that is. IS per cent on June 2s, 20 per cent on July 3O 30 per cent on August 15, and 30 per cent on August 30.
 The subscriber, therefore, for $50 bond or $100 bond has the assured certainty of obtaining a bond either by the cash payment in full or the pay ment in the stated installments. Sub scribers for larger amounts will have to await the allotment when all the subscriptions are in and may not ob- tain the full amount of bonds sub- scribed for.

 WASHINGTON, June 21.-Persistent demonstrations against the women suffrage pickets in front of the main gates of the White House caused the police to take a hand in the situation late today They guarded the women, censored their riottnciting banners and met with such success that when the treasury and the state, war ana navy buildings turned out their 10000 employees to pass along Pennsylvania avenue there was not a ripple of hos tility.
 Reserves from a half dozen precincts patrolIed the pavement in front of the presidents mansion and kept the crowd moving.
 The activity of the police. who ar rived too late to prevent banners from being demolished yesterday as the Russian mission was approaching the White House, and twice today, appar- ently solved the problem growing out of President Wilson's refusal to make martyrs" of the women by ordering them removed.
 Early in the day a crowd of several hundred watched two men tear from it's wooden frame a canvas sign sim liar to the one used yesterday declar Ing to the kuSSldH tllSSlOH llidl IleSi- dent Wilson and Elihu Root, the special ambassador to Russia, are de- ceiving Russia in calling America a democracy Later at the lunch hour much larger crowd, led by Mrs. D. W. Richardson. a Washington woman, de- stroyed every one of the four banners displayed by the so-called sentinels be- fore the gates.
 In both cases the crowds were good natured and although sufficient force was used to snatch the banners away, none of the bearers was injured. Mrs. Richardson was taken in charge by the police but later released.
 After the second demonstration the police adopted their new plan. They escorted banner bearers to the White House with suffrage colors and devices
