 Who Register Run Out as Number Responding iIs Far Beyond All Estimates

Reports received by the Arizona Council of Defense from all over the state show that the registration sur passed all estimates previously made by those who had computed it from various angles. The governments esti- mate, which seemed by many to be very large, will be exceeded by great many thousands, and the basis of 10 per cent of the voting registration be- comes a pitiful estimate when com pared with the actual returns which will come in during the day.
 In Phoenix the estimate of the pos Sible registrations was so low that the effort to furnish badges and flag pins was buried beneath an avalanche of Phoenix young manhood and early in the day registration places reported to the Arizona Council of Defense that they were completed out.
 As a feature of registration day it was planned to give each man regis tering a badge, and a special design was prepared by Secretary George H. Smalley of the counsil of defense and ordered from an eastern manufacturer. Rushed with orders for insignias from all parts of the country, the council of defense was disappointed at the elev- enth hour to receive a wire stating that
 
 be filled. Secretary Smalley then at tempted to secure enough imitation kahki to make up badges but the 700 yards required could not be furnished by local merchants. Later the wOmen'S auxiliary took the matter up locally to provide badges and a dozen women gave their time to cutting yards of cloth upon which were printed the words. Registered for Military Serv- ice" Several thousand of these were distributed to the different registra- ton places and soon exhausted. Had the 25,000 order been filled it would probably have been but half enough to supply the state, and the Phoenix sup " met the same unfortunate fate
 The disappointment was keenly felt. not only by the Arizona Council of De- fense, but also by the women who pro- vided them, and by the young men who were compelled to leave the booths without a badge. It was one of those slips that was the fault of no one, since there was no basis that could be de pended upon to provide even a reason able guess as to the number that would be required.
 Every registration place had several pretty girls who were engaged from early until late distributing liberty loan pamphlets, and plnnlnS on badges The supply of the presidents war mes sage which was to have been distrib uted, did not arrive although the or der was sent by Mrs. Pauline O'Neill on May 30.
 Mrs. Thomas E. Campbell, Miss Han nah Egelston and many other Phoenix women gave up their day to the work Miss Clara Havard led a squad of girls from the New York store recruited by Charles Korrick. There were about 7( women workers at the registration i booths during the day the day being divided into two shifts.

Esgate of the Valley bank, J. J. Sweeney of the National Bank of Arizona and others represent ing other banks in the city visited the workers in the field and were on hand to assist in organizing. MT. Gettins, president of the Rotary club, has a plan for aiding the committee and MT. Christy, the president -elect, will confer with the committee and offer his as sistance in making the campaign a big success.
 ' Reports coming in from different parts of the west indicate that the quota for each locality will be secured and Phoenix and the Central Arizona section are anxious that the best pos sible showing should be made, not only in the amount subscribed but in the number of subscribers, so the district may not lag.

 Registration day has provided the men and the Liberty Loan will provide the money and munitions.
 Campaining for the Liberty Loan over 50 citizens of Phoenix spent a long day yesterday. It was a day to be proud of. The results were satisfactory. Progress was made in every direction At eight in the morning workers met at the chamber of commerce and were dispatched to the registration places to interview all those who were interested in the safety of the country. The re- suits of the days work were well worth while. Everywhere there was eX pressed the right sort of interest in the financial needs of the nation. From every bank in the city members of the staff went out to explain the purposes of the loan and the present need.

Liberty Bonds
 for Liberty is
 Winnilag Slogan

"Lberty Bonds for Liberty" would be a good slogan for the thriV- ino little town, west of Phoenix, as indicated by the spirit manifested yesterday. when the following patri otic meetings in the morning and afternoon, assurance was forthcom- ing that there would be liberal sub scriptions from the citizens Of that section. And incidentally in Liberty there were twenty seven registra- tions yesterday under the provisions of the selective draft.
 The dual occasion was appropri- ately celebrated, an un- official holi day being declared and everybody giving up their work to make merry. On special invitation, pr. H. A. Hughes and Judge Charles B. Ward of this city, journeyed down to lib- erty early in the morning. At the forenoon gathering, pr. Hughes spoke both in behalf of registration and of the Liberty Bond campaign. In the afternoon, Judge Warren aug mented the remarks Of pr. Hughes. There were other addresses of a more or less informal character.
 And the citizens of Liberty sent word back to Phoenix by the local speakers, that in accordance with it's popualtion, Liberty is doing just as much of fits bit" as her big sister to the east.

 The pictures are unusually inter esting The New York Times says:
 They possess an element of nov city in showing for the first time the conduct of the war in the Alpine country. Scouting parties linked to- gether with ropes are pictured seal | ing the heights and picking their way cautiously with staffs, while the sight of a line of men bundled in muf1ers and great coats walking slowly across 1 Alpine snow and ice fields with shells of large calibre on their shoulders is a strange one.

 "When Love Was Blind"
 If you were beautiful girl and were blind. If you loved man dear ly and if the very first thing you saw when your sight had been re- stored was this sweetheart with an other in his arms would you do like the girl in the Pathe play, When Love Was Blind?'' That is a ques- tion no girl can answer Remember, this woman placed all her trust in this man whom she loved with a passion known only to the blind and then she saw that which made her think her devotion to her love was all in vain. It is a striking story of a pretty girl and real man against whom appearances threw shadow but the tale turns out so well that you forgive the heartache that comes when you see this blind girl discov- ering what looks like the wreck of her ltfe's happiness. Lorence La 1 Badies is the star and she is at home in splendid part.

 Response to Secretary of Wars Farm Suggestion

The first to put into actual practice the secretary of wars plan for boys farm reserve, the Salt river valley is attracting such wide attention that a magazine has ordered a descriptive ar
 ticle from George H. Smalley, secre- tary of the Arizona Council of Defense.
 This article is now being prepared and will be illustrated with pictures of the
 boys making their attack upon the fields with the colors flying and the
 boys under marching orders.
 There will be picture of Lin Orme who is the father of the plan as devel- oped in the Salt river valley, and of others who are active as instructors in the work. The plan has proven so sue cessful, and the boys are so enthus-
 iastic, that it is now possible that other units will be added to the battalion in
 the near future
 The shortage of labor in the Salt
 river valley is now computed at four hundred and the Council of Defense has had offers from Apache and Papa go Indians in large numbers which are being considered if the situation rend- CTS 1t necessary to bring them here.
