THE LEADER

SUPREME
The following from the pen of Sam
uel G. Blythe in the Saturday Even
ing Post is well worth persual by
every American.
Less than ten years ago Woodrow
Wilson was present of university,
the author of a few books, speaker
OF repute, an executive of ability in
his university sphere, whose greatest
combat had been over a question OF
university internal policy. Today, by
the mutations of politics in this dem
ocracy, he Is the most important man
in the world the leader of this vast
country in an epochal enterprise of
war that, on our part as well as on
the part of others, transcends any
thing the world has known; an enter
prise requiring the services of mil
lions of men, and their deaths, 1t may
be, and the expenditure of billions OF
money; an enterprise that involves
the globe.
He is more important than any
kaiser, king. premier, pontiff, dictator,
general or admiral. He is the most
important man in the world.
do you think this country is in the
position of being the tail TO the kite OF
the allies? If you do, dismiss the
thought from your mind.
THE president of the United States
did not allow his country to be rele
gated to a secondary position. He
demanded and received the power OF
decision. In effect, the allies, need
ing the aid OF the country as the allies
do need II, and are getting It, fully and
freely, made the president referee
They are bound to abide by his deci
sions. And the president was not Sc
casual as to allow himself to be ca
joled into a supporting position even
He demanded and has freedom of &C
ton, subject, of course. to discussion
but always with the United States a
the head of the council table. II
maintained an independent position
and that does not mean entire &C
operations with the allies, as has bee
shown in various ways: but 1t doe
mean the power of initiative, which
his greatest asset.
THE acceptance by the allies Of til
presidents reply to the peace pr
posals OF the pope as their rep
points where he stands in the matte

cards. Therefore when the questiC

Red Cross Workers
Doing Their Bit
Benson Branch Is Taking
Active Part in Work

Only a small number attended
this weeks meeting of the Red
Cross workers on account of the
intense heat, but with a large
breezy room, seemingly the coolest
spot in town, work was begun and
quite bit accomplished.
A special feature was Mr.. Levi
sons talk on Red Cross work, it's
great need and benefit. This was
of much interest to all,
Mrs. f. J. Castaneda was nomi-
mated for secretary to fill the posi-
ton made vacant by Miss Snyder's
absence in Colorado, but was un-
able to accept. Miss Anna Kempf
was elected to the position, with
Miss Ida O'Brien as assistant sec
retary.
Any one wishing to join can by
paying the small sum of 81 become
a member. This amount constitutes
the annual membership fee. The
society wants everybody to come
and join them. Won't you? Fol-
lowing is the honor roll of Red
Cross membership:

a successful affair, and everybody.
honefolks and visitors, seemed to
have pleasant time. Tombstone
turned out Ell masse, many COM
ing over in the evening who were
not present for the rifle shoot.
Other towns too were well repre-
sented - Dragon, Johnson, St,
David, Curtis, Pomerene, Fairbank
Sonoita, and perhaps others. The
street near the Auditorium, where
the dance was held, was crowded
full of autos, most of the visitors
coming in by that method of con-
veyance.
The FRAZIER orchestra, of E1gin,
furnished music, which gave COM
plete satisfaction to the managers
and apparently to the dancers as
we'll. The receipts from the dance
were sufficient to cover expenses
and perhaps a little over. Alto
gether the rifle shoot and dance
both passed off pleasantly and sue
cessfully.

The Rifle Contest and
Dance Thursday
The Tombstone Rifle Team
Comes to Benson

Benson and Tombstone met for
the second time upon the rifle
range Thursday and this time the
home marksmen were victorious.
The Tombstone team came down in
autos, arriving here about noon.
and as soon after luncheon as the
preliminaries could be arrangnd
the match began.
Each team was represented by
twelve men, and as shown by the
scoresheet each team had some
pretty good shots. The rapid-fire
shooting requires much practice
and a no small amount of steadi-
ness in order to make a high score.
The two teams kept pretty we'll
along together in scoring till to-
ward the last. Then it looked for
a time as though Tombstone was
again to be the winner, but in the
pinch Benson rallied and succeeded
in running up the score for a Ben
son victory by thirR-one points.
The match consisted of ten shots
per man rapid FIRE at two hundred
and three hundred yards and the
same number slow FIRE at the latter
distance, possible fifty at each
range, or $50 altogether.
Here is the score:

Popular Young Couple Married

Gladys Holcomb he was driven to
Milestone station yesterday, where
they took the train for Tucson, and
upon their arrival in that city were
quietly married. Miss Holcomb was
one of the most popular and accom-
plished young ladies of Benson and
and is a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

The report of the appointment of

connection with his appointment.
In statement made to the Signal
Mr.. Cosby says he will give his
best efforts towards carrying out
the intent of the laws, using COM
mon sense and Judgment where
necessary, yet enforcing strict COM
pliance with the law. He believes
the position offers good field for

such as stocking or restocking of
certain portions of the domain with
birds and animals, in conserving
and increasing the supply of game
birds and animals and fish.
Mr.. Cosby believes that knowl-
of the game laws should have wide
