YEOMEN DANCE ADDS
 S100 FUR RED CROSS
Especial to The Republican,

SUPERIOR, June 25.-Last week a dance was given under the auspices of the Brotherhood of American Yeomen in the pavilion at Magma Park when a large body of the community at tended, and enjoyed the dance and sup ported the aim of the above lodge in their efforts to raise fund for the American Red Cross and they were not disappointed as the proceeds amounted to over s10O. Great credit is due to Mrs Frank Buckneu and Mrs. M. McClarty, who worked like Trojans in selling tickets for this great cause.
 Magma Park is now drawing good crowds every day both to the swimming pool and picnicking during the hot weather that has prevailed in Su- perior during the past week. This acquisition to the town through the benevolence of the Magma Copper Co. and their manager, MT. w. c. Brown ing, who has not left a stone unturned to make the inhabitants of this great mining camp feel that they are at home to enjoy themselves in this natural park situated near the famous Apache Leap.
 On Sunday last battle royal took
  the mine team and the mill. Previous to this game the Mine has held the up- per hand but the tables were turned at this game, when the Mill beat the Mine to 6. Each side played hard to- wards the end to gain supremacy but like good many things there are tricks in every trade and this tune rne Mill boys held the trick, through the ingenuity of J. C. Graham. The return game will be played next Sunday, so be there as it will be game worth seeing.
 The Magma engineers gave an invitation dance in the pavilion at Magma Park on Saturday. June 23 Mrs. A. w. Seamans of Los Angeles has lately arrived to join her husband who is in the employ of the Magma Copper Co.
 1 Last Saturday night a fire occurred in house beyonging to R. McCurray and owing to the lack of water was to- tally destroyed Members of the vol unteer fire brigade worked hard to save it and owing to it being a calm night the adjoining houses were saved It would be good thing if more in terest were taken in the volunteer brI- gade and support those who are trying 70 bring this necessary addition to the | town
 le Superior did her share toward the liberty bond and subscribed quite a large amount, the exact figures are not | known but 1t went into the thousands. Brady is back at the soda fountain ] al the. superior Drug Co. It is pecu- lar how they all come back again.
 The Magma Rifle Club had their weekly shoot last Monday at the 2O0 yard range. Some good shooting was done but E. G. D. has gone down to the tilley class. It looks as if he is one of the victims of the next feed.
 Are we going to do anything on July 4th in town? If so we want to get busy. Rumor has it there will be some swimming races, foot races. and a basket picnic in the park Any thing else?

 F0R RECRUITING

Governor Campbell, Dwight E. Heard chairman of the Arizona Council of Defense and Captain John C. Green way. chairman of the committee on public defense and security are join ing in an appeal to the citizens of the state to join in campaign to recruit the First Arizona war infantry to war strength. They are sentiing out joint personal appeal to four thousand cit izens of the sta,e asking each to get at least one credit for the regiment
 The appeal. which is signed by all three men is as follows:
 We need your assistance to bring the First Arizona Infantry to war strength.
 Twelve hundred additional men are needed between now and August 9th. Unless these are supplied the regiment may be dispersed and the state of Ari- zOna to be without representative unit in the national army.
 The shortage Of time requires inn mediate action. Knowing your public spirit, we appeal to you to obtain promptly the tentative enrolment of at least one recruit using the enclosed form.
 Do not confine yourself to one if you can obtain more, and if possible please arrange tO nave iOcdl pflN SlCtdn VOL unteer his services to make preliminary physical examination as per enclosed sheet
 We feel that AriZonas S good name is at stake and it will be an undying disgrace if Arizona cannot provide at least one regiment for her country.
 We are writing you this personal letter asking you to do this specific work as a matter of national service, knowing that we can rely on your promDt action"

 Representatives of the several n2 tionalities consider that the opportunity wi be 2 fine one for the expression Of real feeling, for the uplifting Of heart and soul in tribute to their brothers upon the fields of battle and going thereto. They feel, too, that it will weld the bonds Of loyalty and common pur- pose in a just cause closer than ever before in the district, and they are ure- ing that like program be followed in other mining districts of the state. where the large majority Of the for eign population of Arizona centers
 All Of the G obe- Miami district will participate heartily in the Globe recog- milton of the flags of the allied nations. l. will not only be an immense occasion in breadth. but also from the standpoint Of public participation and of novelty. No previous assemblages of interna- tional flags for public honor and salute has ever been had in Arizona None ether has been planned in the state to this time, but the Globe idea vii doubtless find much of the copying that IS HOW being urged fer 1t on the Fourth t4 Ui.. II can dlSO De said that inter- national flag assemblages and salutes have been very infreqlient in the history of the United States and seldom if ever, practiced away from it's main seaports. Globe, in the Arizona desert, land of copper, points the way
 The American flag to be used in the Globe assemblege will provide a con siderable feature in itself. Plans are under way to have it made by patriotic women of the city, and to make it larger than any other f az to this time hoist in the state. A fifty foot emblem is considered. Its nearest approach in the state will be 35foot flag made by pat iiotic women of Bisbee and hoist to the top of the highest peak overlooking that copper city on registration day, when a great outburst or patriotic fer Vor was created
 The big Mexican fiesta planned for Globe Miami Fourth of July observa- tion, the Indian assemblage and snake lance which will have a prominent part and features for various nationaiities aside from the flag salute, will give a wide scope to the day. All of the obSer- vation Will be carried out at nominal expense, under the mining district plan of making this Fourth distinctively an ob9rvation by all the people and ;. really patriotic demonstration minus the commercial features attending in recent years. Surplus funds, probably of material amount, will go to the Red Cross and other patriotic work.
