Beef Steer Fed
 In Valley Sells
 For Notable Sullaa

Not often is it given to any con- cern or individual to effect the sale of beef steer at figure in excess of S150. But this was done yesterday by the Arlington Improvement com pany, which sold a handsome steer weighing 1,540 pounds, at the hand some price of $157.08.
 One of the features of this sale is found in the fact that the big fellow was sent back to the very section of Arizonc, from whence he came. Messrs. Babbitt and Cowden broth CTS were the purchasers, and the steer has been shipped to Flagstaff. In November of last year, this same steer was shipped down from the Coconno hills to the verdant pas turage of the Salt River valley. His coming did not attract any parti cular attention among the stockmen. He was then just an ordinary feed er"
 Rouehage first, later hay and fin ally green grass constituted his diet after his arrival here. and from the first he became living example of what the feeding grounds of this valley will do. Now he has been sent back, in the prime of condition, to feed hungry citizens of the northland of Arizona.

1. The sending of boys into the mob ilization camps to work.
 :. Cooperation in planning patrl- otic meetings to be held on the after noon or evening preceding Registration Day.
 6. Some effort to furnish some ln- signia for the boys registering on June ,. as the order for 25,000 buttons placed with an eastern badge company can not be filled in time.
 \ resolution was also presented re- garding the establishment of canning factory, but this was not adopted as 1t was thought this movement at this time would defeat the very purpose of the present organization, namely, that Of conservation of food in the home.
 A committee composed of Mrs. Ben Welch. Mrs. j. D. Henderson and Mrs. P. T. Hurley was appointed to confer with Mir. Smalley regarding the insig- nia for Registration Day.
 It is hoped that from the organization effected today other units in outlying districts may be formed and take up the work under the same plan adopted by the Phoenix unit.

in their efforts to secure the
camp. They went from one place
to another until finally they reached
General Wood, in charge Of the South
eastern Department, who gave them
the desired information and promised
to remember their claim if any Other
camps were to be located. He talkec
as though others would be in the neal
