SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT

Monday evening last Chase Creek was the scene of an auto accident which may yet cost one of the habi- tues of that section her life. A wo- man named Perry was walking along the sidewalk and when in front of Gabaldon's store decided to cross the street and evidently did not notice a car approaching which was being driven by Mrs. Karl Schade. The driver sounded a warning several times and applied the brakes. The car stopped within very short dis tance but not before the front wheel had run over the woman, breaking several ribs and terribly crushing her chest.
 The injured woman was rushed to the Shannon hospital where at that time but little hopes for her recovery were held out. Although in a pre- carious condition she is still alive and may possibly survive.
 According to eye witnesses the driver of the car was in no wise to blame for the accident as she was driving slowly and took every pre- caution possible to avert the calam- ity. The street is very narrow at this point and the injured woman ap- parently became confused and in- stead of avoiding the car stepped di- rectly in its path.

BOY SCOUTS MEET

The Clifton Boy Scouts met on Monday evening at the Grammar School building in South Clifton and were entertained with a lecture on First Aid" given by Bud Shanley, connected with the Arizona Copper company at Morenci. There were about 129 in attendance, among whom were several members of the local Red Cross who had been extended an invitation by the Boy Scouts to be present.
 In handling his subject MT. Shan ley paid especial attention to the use of the turniquet ip case of accident and also devoted some time to what the treatment should be in case Of hemorrhage. His remarks were very interesting and were listened to with close attention.
 The local Boy Scouts now number 24 and it is hoped that full con- pany of g will be recruited. Sug- gestions along different lines for the betterment and help of the organiza- tion will be gladly received, as good ideas may be lying dormant in some minds outside the organization with the help of which it might receive great deal of benefit.
 At this meeting the plot of ground adjoining the home of E. M. Will Hams was donated to the boys for gardening purposes and it is their intention to at once put the ground in shape and plant it to different vege- tables, such as onions, potatoes, etc, and thus do their small part in the nation wide movement for the conser- vation of food.
 The Boy Scouts can accomplish a great deal of good at this time and it is gratifying to the community that the local branch is taking an interest in doing their little bit to help the nation in these trying times.

over; that we will be struggling to provide food for our own hungry and starving in many of the states and in all of the large centers of population, but it is the hope of all that this dis tress will be averted, and that there is no effort that the individual may make, large or small, that will not be of material help later along. Those who cannot farm should increase the poultry and egg reserves. In fact there is no step that may be taken that is not needed. The Arizona Defense Council, wisely called by Governor Campbell, is to be much commended for the vigor it is putting into it's work along this and other important lines having to do with the general welfare of the public."

CHILDREN TO SALUTE, FLAG

That all school children of the coun- ty may show proper respect for the flag at this time and display their patriotism in S fitting manner, the following request has been formulated by Mrs. Billingsley, county superin- tendent of schools, for their consid- eration:
 Whereas, state of war exists be- tween the United States and a foreign nation, and at this time it is especial ly fitting and appropriate that the children of our public schools join in the patriotic feeling which stirs the country that they may more fully ap- preciate the benefits and privileges of liberty and justice,
 Therefore, I earnestly request that all children in attendance in the pub lie schools of this county be required to salute the flag by some appropriate sign at least once each day.
 Respectfully,
 MRS. J. BLLLINGSLEY,
 Co. Supt. of Schools. |"

TUESDAY NIGHT MARKS CLOSE OF CONTEST WITH EVEN CHANCE
 FOR THOSE WHO PERSEvERE

mobile will be. Just think-a beauti- ful Dodge car is to be awarded to some of the participants, in the shar- ing it is IMPERATIVE THAT YOU WORK AS YOU HAVE NEVER WORKED BEFORE.
 Don't forget that it is a battle to the finish. Craft helps; speed too, but the rugged and lasting qualities of the tell-tale vote means victory here as the same traits win any bat tie. Hustle swiftly, watch and battle consistently until the end, and if you don't win at that it will be for no oth- CT reason than that some other com petitor embodies all your strength to a greater degree.
 A special program has been arrang- ed for the entertainment of all who wish to be present at the counting of the ballots on Tuesday night, May Sth at g o'closk sharp. Is is a free entertainment arranged through the courtesy of Manager F. N. Whit, taker, of the Clifton Y. M. c. A. A big free dance will take place on the Tennis Court next to the Y. M :. c. A. starting early in the evening and lasting until after the awarding of , the different prizes.
 The Era management extends a cordial invitation to the public to be
 present and witness the closing oi 1 this contest.
 Hon. J M. Lally, of Morenci and ; Peter Riley and Mr. Neil Thompson of Clifton will act as the judges who will count the votes, and MT. Riley will be spokesman for the evening and award the different prizes to the win
 ners.

M. C.. A. is in charge of the work and is getting every thing in opera tion as rapidly as possible. Several activities are planned for the near future and a great deal of interest is being manifested in the new organi- Zation.
 Dr. R. B. Von Kleinsmid, president of the interstate committee of the Y. M. c. A. has appointed the following men to serve as a committee of man. agement: Prof. J. A. Davis, president; Ben Spriggs, vice-president; L. T. Payne, secretary; F. L. Gordon, treas urer; Jack Wakefield, Max Kline, J. G. Cooper, w. H. Neill and R. H Pringle, the above being elected at a meeting of the committee held on Sat urday evening.
 The building which is being remodel ed and which will house the Y. M. c. A. is the old adobe building on the East Side known as the Casa Grande and has been donated to the associa- tion through the kindess of MT. Nor man Carmichael, general manager oI the Arizona Copper Company, Ltd. Painters and decorators are busy in putting the finishing touches on the building, both interior and exterior, and when their work is completed a wonderful transformation will have been made.
 The rooms are large and convenient and everything looking to the com fort of the members is being done. The books in the library are being indexed and classified and the 1900 volumes now on hand will be added to from time to time. There are reading and writing rooms to accom- modate all and tables have been fur nished for those who wish to indulge in games of different kinds. At the back of the building lockers have been built for the members and four shower baths are in course of construction. Indoor games will be indulged in to great extent, but the outdoor ath- letics will receive possibly the great CT attention. In fact everything which goes to make an association of this kind benefit to all has been done and Clifton feels justly proud in being able to secure Y. M. c. A. as- sociation.

THOMPSON PLEASED WITH GROWTH OF
 DISTRICT
Old Time Clifton Resident, Now Residing in New York City, Visits District and is Greatly Impressed With Changes That Have Taken Place Here.

Noting many changes for the better meeting with numerous old friends and thoroughly enjoying general tour of the Clifton-Morenci district, MT. and Mrs. J. E. Thompson and their son, William B. Thompson, con- cluded a few days visit here and de. parted on Friday morning for Bis bee, from where they will leave next week for their home in New York.
 MT. Thompson a dozen years ago was engaged in mining, realty and in surance lines in Clifton. Later he went to Bisbee and there established statewide prestige through his activi- ties in home building and industrial enterprise. Subsequently he went to New York, where he engaged in brokerage and banking. For several years he has been at the head of the brokerage firm of Thompson, Shon- nard & Co.,, of New York, recognized as one of the strongest of the conser- vative, high-class securities establish ments doing business in New York, Boston and other large security mark ct centers. He is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and of a number of other exchanges in differ ent parts of the country, is identified with the Rocky Mountain Club of New York and has been prominently as- sociated with the National Belgian relief work, while Mrs. Thompson is strongly identified with Red Cross work in the east
 It has been great pleasure to us to meet with the old friends we have had time to see during our brief vis- it, said MT. Thompson, "and it is a n1 fn k6ok
 eral improvement which has come about in mining activities, communi- ty development, business enlarge ment and property advance in value has been attended by financial gains for most everybody. The best opin- ion in the country seems to be agreed, too, that the copper districts will con- tinue to be large participants in pros- per1ty for some yearssto come. This opinion holds that copper metal will be one of the last commodities to de- cline from war price levels, because of the vast amount of reconstruc- tion requiring copper, which will nec- eSsarily follow the close of the war
 At the same time there is very good opinion that the best of opinion un- der present conditions the world over may go far astray and that the wise course for some time to come will be to hold closely to shore in matters of investment and expenditures. That thrift is to be encouraged is indeed most certain. Also it is certain that we need to get upon our individual re- sources in far greater measure than in the past. The movemeIt which MT. Norman Carmichael has started here in turning the beautiful lawn at his home over to the growing of pota- toes sets an example that every man in Arizona should follow during the 1 life of the world food shortage crisis in which we now are and which every day is becoming alarmingly more acute. I fear Arizona will feel the pinch severaly. before the year is

Plants Fractious Ford

Deputy Sheriff A. l.. Gravely is
 bearing the scars of an encounter which he had with his balky Ford last week and which incapacitated him for duty for a short time. The car has given him more or less trouble for some time and last week in one of it's balky moods it threw Gravely out and proceeded to do Texas tango over his prostrate form. After cavorting around on his anatomy for while it finally kicked him in the face and righted itself by the side of the road where it awaited for him to remount and try his luck again. Keeping strong grip on the reins and both eyes on the road he man aged to reach his home in Morenci safely. Gravely says that he has fought wicked outlaws and broken the worst of broncs but when it comes to bucking Ford he passes. He has entirely recovered from his bodily bruises but his mind is still sore from the encounter and it is with a great deal of trepidation that he entrusts himseIf TOW to the tricky machine.

AUTO IS DlTCHED

On Wednesday evening B. F. Bow man met with an auto accident on the new state highway near the Ward cemetery which resulted in serious injuries to himself and sever ly bruised two companions who were riding with him, Rollo and Dave Lindsay.
 In negotiating the curve at this place Bowman evidently lost control of the car and it plunged off the road to the bottom of the hill, pin ming Rollo Lindsay underneath and breaking his leg. Bowman and Dave Lindsay were badly bruised, the former being still confined to his home.
 The car is practically a total wreck and will take many repairs to again put it into commission.

EIks' MinstreIs Please

Reports from Morenci state that the Minstrel show given by the Elks at that place on Thursday evening drew a crowded house and was one of the best performances ever seen in the Hill City, professionals not excepted. In fact the public appreciated it so much that they are insisting upon a return engagement. The boys are more than pleased at their success and people will no doubt be turned away when the attraction is put on at the Princess Theatre on Saturday night. Those who have not secured tickets will do well to purchase at once as even standing room will be at premi- um.

Attorney I. l.. Quiat of Morenci went to Las Cruces this week and on Tuesday took the qualification exami- nation for admission into the officers reserve. He passed a most satisfac- tory examination and states that it is doubtful if he will be called soon as there are 10 to 1 more applica- tions now than the camp at Presi- dio. Calif., will accommodate How ever, he is awaiting the call and will leave immediately upon being sum- moned. MT. Quiat has an exten- sive law practice in the county which he will relinquish in the event that he is called upon for service.

The Final Vote Schedule.

The Final Vote Schedule.
 For subscriptions ending Saturday night May Sth, at o'clock sharp, at which time the BRAS contest will be declared closed by the judges the following vote schedule will apply: 1 year subscriptions S2.50 5000 2 year Subscriptions, $5.0O.. 5000 3 year Subscriptions, $7 50.... 12,000 year Subscriptions, $10 .00.. .1S,000 3 year Subscriptions, $12.50 =. 25,000
 Altogether the contest is exceeding Iy interesting. No one has to go look ing for four leaf clover or slant over the Tight shoulder or carry a rabbits foot to win this campaign. It's YOU and the amount of your ef- fort that you put into it. The contest is a great free-for-alI democracy of effort with plutocracy of possession when it's over.
 Tuesday night marks the close of the contest-just two days to secure a sufficient number of subscriptions. In other words, just three days more to WIN OR LOSE, for that is exactly Tuesday night it will be too late to bring in the subscriptions that would have won, and the winners will be enjoying the fruits of their efforts. Real efforts and hard work during to- day and tomorrow plus what you have already done this week, will avail you more than running down promises at the last hour.
 So evenly have the honors been di- vided up to tonight that it depends entirely upon the individual efforts of each candidate between now and the final minute of the contest, as to who the winners of the auto
