c0DsEND FOR SOLDIER BOYS

The most humanizing organ.
lied activities of war time is the
work of the Young Mems Christ
ian Associations in the training
camps, at home, overseas and in
the prison camps. Wherever our
boys are sent, they will find the
sign of the Red Triangle, " the
Army representative of this Won
derful organization on hand to
welcome them with its tonic
atmosphere of good cheer, So
ciability and clean living.
For the splendid constructive
work this organization is carrying
on is almost beyond description.
Any one of the $50, 900 of our
boys now on the firing line in
France and the millions at home
in the training camps, would tell
you the same thing this Arizona
boy wrote to his folks at home;

something of the work of this

Some people were made to be soldiers

Sauerkraut was made for the Germans,

Well, that is a thing of the past

the basketball team and studying

IF you have loved ones at

Wonders of Grafnite,
Rubber Preseruatiue

Grafnite. which is a specially
prepared form of graphite, has
many unique and wonderful
qualities. 1t is absolutely light
proof. AS we learned in school,
anything that appears black is
impervious to light-there is
nothing blacker than grafinite.
1t is almost impossible to destroy
graphite or make it change its
form. 1t is made up of particles
so small that, under sufficient
pressure; it can be forced through
glass. 1t is one Of the best
known anti-friction materials
and in various forms is common
ly used in the manufacture of
lubricants. Its particles have
relatively low cohesion and still
lower adhesion; that is, they do
not readily adhere to each other,
nor do they stick to other SUBJ
stances or surfaces with which
they come in contact.
The many invaluable properties
of grafinite suggested it's use as
a coating for automobile inner
tubes. Tubes coated with graft
mite are absolutely protected
from light, which is one of the
chief things that deteriorate rub
Der. Sticking and friction is also
eliminated by the use of grafinite
coating. If there is any friction
between an inner tube and the
casing containing it, or if the
tube sticks to the casing, it is
bound to be short lived. Friction
is ordinarily reduced by the use
of soap-stone. It is absolutely
prevented by coating of graf
mite and the use of powders and
soap-stone is therefore rendered
entirely unnecessary.
The Savage Tire Company is
the only company to put out a
tube with grafnite vulcanized
into its surface. The process en-
ployed was perfected only by
considerable experimental work.
1t is a unique manufacturing
feature and the Savage Tire Com
pany were granted basic patents
on it.
According to the Auto Service
Station, the local distributor, the
splendid satisfaction that the
Savage Grafnite Tube is giving
is undoubtedly due to a large ex-
tent to it's coating, but the tube
is made of the best quality of
rubber and aside from the ad-
vantage of grafinite, it possesses
all the good qualities of other
tubes. The Savage Tube is be-
coming more popular every day
with motorists in this vicinity.

/. HELP 1HE Y. M. c. A.

The splendid work of the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton at home in our army can
tonments and on the battlefelds
of Europe. where its presence in
every contending army is pre-
ducing such fine results, that
every country involved in this
great world war is clamoring for
more secretaries to direct the
work of moral influence, educa-
ton and entertainment for the
soldiers, cannot help but appeal
to the hearts of the people Of this
county, whose sons are now
members of the new National
Army at Camp Funston or Camp
Kearney, and some even now
somewhere in France, where.
perhaps, they have already been
in battle.
This great organization for
good, which is purely non-sec-
tartan, knowing no distinction on
account of class or religion, is
performing a wonderful work
through the direction of its Sec
retaries in every army in Europe.
The extension of the work of
the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation is being strongly urged
by our president, and by our
military leaders, General Per-
shing and General Scott, and
Secretaries Baker and Daniels,
and most strongly by General
Petain of the French army, as well
as by the military leaders of the
Italian and Russian Armies, who
have seen the beneficent effects
of the Associations work among
their soldiers.
This work must be continued,
it must not be allowed to lag for
one moment, and we, at home,
must do our duty in preserving
the good moral condition of our
own boys, as well as extending
the help needed by the soldiers
Of other armies.
Beginning next Monday. No
vember 11th, and continuing
through the week to, and includ-
ing, Sunday, November 18th, a
campaign for the raising of $685.
000,0 to continue the war work
Of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation, will be made through
out the entire nation.
Globe. Miami and the Gila val
ley have been made one of the dis
tricts in this State in this great
campaign for war funds for the
Association, and every man and
wVmar in the Gila valley should
Graham guardian., 1917-11-09

contribute as far as they are able
that the quota set for this dis
trict may be successfully raised.
The money that will be raised
as the result of next weeks cam
paign, Will be expended as fol-
lows:
For work with the U. S.
Army and Navy men In

In order to bring out more
fully what we have said about
the non-sectarian attitude of the
Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in it's army and navy work,
we give below its Sunday pro-
gram in all of the Associations s
buildings, both in America and
in Europe:
500 a. m. Catholic Mass.

900 a. m. = Espiscopal or other Pro-

THE GILMAN RATION

The German food ration is as
fIlows, the amounts being those
allowed per person per week:
Flour, 3.45 pounds; potatoes,
7.05 pounds; cereals (oats, beans
and peas), Z ounces; meat, 8.e
ounces: sugar, 8 ounces; butter
and margarine, 2.8 ounces; and
other fats. 2.8 ounces.
Stated in terms Of American
housekeeping, these items
amount to sufficient flour to bake
Al pounds of bread; one-half peck
of potatoes; a cupful of beans,
peas and oatmeal; one-half pound
of meat; IL dominoes of sugar; G
individual patties of butter, and
an equal amount of other fats.
For a person in an occupation
requiring only a moderate degree
of activity, these rations provide
considerably less than the
amounts requisite to maintain
bodily health and vigor.
1t should be understood, how.
ever, that the people of Germany
are not threatened with physical
collapse through undernourish-
ment. The official ration is not
all that each German eats.
Somehow they are getting more
and the fact remains that they
still are in fighting trim. Un.
questionably, Germany's food
supply is short and is growing
shorter, though just at present
sle has the advantage of the end
of the crop season into which she
has turned the labor of many
prisoners and the productive
capacity of many captured fields.
Still there must be a limit to the
e ,emy's endurance, counted in
men, munitions, general supplies
and food. A British statesman
two years ago, said, We're go.
ing to win this war because we're
going to outlast Germany" This
outlasting, however. will mean
that every American must con.
tribute to the limit of his ability
to the resources of his country
and to supplies for the war.
