what she Will do with her vast
strength. Our President must always.
henceforth, be one OF the great powers
OF the world, whether he act greatly

J.. o. Miller

NF l.. @. Mllers private life. Of his simple
~ acts OF kindness and OF his transformations
charities only his family. his friends and the
benehcfaries of his generosity are qualified
TO speak And with these the public has no
connection, except as they help to measure
the stature Of the man. So with his wise
counsel in many boards and directing bodies
which he found time to give freely amid the
exactions OF particularly busy life, the
public has comparatively little acquaintance,
except az it may judge by results.
But In large sense. the public realizes
that l.. o. Miller typifed the beginning of an
era in Richmond. When he. and his asso-
ciates, came here, the War Between the States
had been over only about twenty years, and
Richmond and the South had not yet re-
covered from it's effects. They brought new
blood, new life and methods into mer-
chandising, and as they pressed forward in
their determination to grow and expand and
encompass, they imbued those about them
with their own spirit. and more than one
side Of business Richmond pressed forward
with them Mr. Miller. with his indomtable
perseverance, and boundless energy. was as
truly pioneer, In one sense as those who
first cleared the hills OF Richmond were
pioneers.
In another. and more intimate sense he was
a pioneer He became part Of Richmond's
life. in all its aspects. He was not q pros
pector. but settler. AS Richmond grew. he
grew with 1t. So that In his death the city
loses not only an outstanding figure In her
progress, but one Of her well-loved sons.

Committee Hopes to Make
1t Possible to Do All I'M
portant Work Without
Calling upon Legislature

One of the interesting items of news
at the headquarters of the State Coun-
ellof Defense yesterday, was the APP
pointment of John H. Page to the
Craftsmanship of the finance committee
The other members of this important
committee of the State Council of De-
Tense are as follows:
H. G. Backett Globe; Bracey Curtis.

I'D. Wick. Globe.
1t is generally felt Throughout the
state that if the steadily increasing
work of the State Council of Defense
can he carried forwac without to ne :
cessity of calling the Legislature to-
scther and making an appropiia ton for
the work. it Will be highly desirable TO
proceed Without the expense Of con-
vening the legislature.
Mr.. Page has been drafted for the
work of organizing the financial sup
port for the State Council of Defense
and like a good soldier has agreed 20
serve; trained as he is in systematic
and efficient work, the officers of the
council feel that it would not be pos
sible to have the financial organization
of the work in better hands.

Fine Example TO
Her Elders Set
by Six Y earaO'Id

Little TheIma L. Humphrey, the
sky year old daughter of mrs. Hazel
Humphrey, 7Q3 Montezuma avenue,
IS PROBABLY The youngest Liberty
Loan bond purchaser in Phoenix.
Miss Thelma yesterday purchased
her bond through the Phoenix Saw
mos Bank & Trust company.
The money used by Miss TheIma
in Purchasing this bond, which was
$10c bond, was money she had
saved from her earnings during the
past few years. She has always been
thrifty by nature, il is said, and made
it a point to always lace a portion
OF her earnings in the bank for a
"rainy day"
When she heard her elders taIkino
about the Liberty Loan bond issue,
its advantages and it's help to the
government, the little miss immedi-
ately decided that she, too, would be
patriotic and thrifty and expressed
herself 10 favor of purchasing the
bond. So she went to her bank,
accompanied by her grandmother,
yesterday afternoon and made the
purchase. She paid cash, too.

ARIZONA MUST
FURNISH 4,002
MEN FOR ARMY
Adjutant General Figures
Out by Counties Number
of Men Who Will Have
to Be Called Under Draft

Adjutant General Harris of the
Arizona National Guard has prepared
table showing the number of Ari-
Zona's quota to the armed forces of
the United States and the number
that must be raised by each of the
counties. AriZona's quota by counties
for the selective draft army is not
based on the registration from each
county, but has been fixed by the
war department.
The quota for the state is 1868,
which, with the number of men to
be raised for the First Arizona in
fantry by draft at the time of the
selective draft, which is 639, will
make the total quota for the state
4002. To this may be added about
500 more for the reserve making the
total number of men to be raised in
this state 1902.
Following is the table, the first
column of figures being the number
Of men now in the First Arizona in
fantry; the second column the num-
Der required to fill existing compa-
MES from counties in which there are
companies and the last column the
number to be furnished according to
the census, including 1000 for the
new army and minus the men already

it is probable that no draft will be
NECESSARY from Mohave and COconino
to fill the Arizona regiment
Twenty-Five more recruits came
down from the north last night. They
are from kingman, Oatman, and
Chloride, in Mohave county. They
will go on to Naco today. They
brought word that other recruits are
to follow in few days. Only about
forty or fifty more men are needed
from Mohave county to fill it's quota.
Lieutenant D. f. Anderson of the
First Arizona Infantry, who has been
in the northern part of the state ex-
aiming men, returned to Phoenix
with the detachment of recruits las:
night. He has received orders to close
the recruiting office in Phoenix
which he has been conducting for
the past three weeks and to go to
Prescott. He takes three men with
him. Captain lie Baron has moved
his HEADQUARTERS to Flagstaff
