KINGMAN BOYS BLUSH AT TAKING GAME IF
 I3-5 FROM OAThAN
From Tuesdays Daily Miner) (By "HAM")

The weekly alibi, or how we did it.
 We started out on a nice, hot morn ing, the sun shining brightly. We sped along the highway till we came to the "All Inn," namely Taylors place at Little Meadows, where we indulged in soft drinks.
 But I guess I might as well tell what happened, even if it will make Oatman blush. We played their ball club last Sunday and came out on the long end, 13 to 5. It took Chlo- ride just exactly nine innings to beat these birds, to 2, so I guess "Chlo- ride Junction" hasn't such a bad ball club after all.
 It would remind you of one of these battle fields in Europe had you seen the first inning. That Kingman bunch hit them across that diamond so fast and thick that there was a continual whiz as from a downpour of German bullets. Old "Doc" Sheffield was tell ing us how we'd get enough of Andy Porter in the first five rounds, but af- ter the first inning he was nowhere in sight.
 Ray Robinson and Harry Price hit two balls so far that had it been in anything but a rock pile they would bava oro,a foy. home v71ns
 But for all that there was one man on the home team that did play ball and that was Webster, on short. Out of five trips to the plate he slammed out three singles, one of them being as hard hit as anyone secured during the afternoon.
 The list of the dead and wounded follows:

UNCERTAINTIES VISIT

1Ernm rnesdar,s Daily Miner,

w. F. Baber, J. H. Smith and their families visited the Indian School at Valentine on Sunday and were the re cipients of the courtesies of Superin- tendent c. E. Shell. MT. Shell took the party through all of the buildings of the school and its necessary ad- juncts, showing all of the routine un- dergone by the school children and en- ployes of that institution.
 The Truxton Canyon Indian school is one of the beauty spots of MOhave county and is a good example of what water and thrift will do in this end of the United States, and it is place that all would do well to visit.
 Later the party visited the Noun tain View Fruit Ranch, formerly the William Aitken place, which is three miles above the Indian school. On account of the lateness of the season the fruits have not ripened, and the parry were unable to secure any of the fruits for which this little place is noted.
 Several hours were spent with the family of W. H. Turk, Santa Fe opera tor at Crozier station, before return ing to Kingman.

Here's Cure for BIackleg--Run
 Calf Till Falls
tFrom wednesday,. paily Miner.l

AAAAM WGAheeAag D OaAAy
 The usually accepted theory that blackleg is an incurable disease is ex- ploded by the practice of a rancher in Wet Mountain valley, Colorado, ac- cording to a statement made yesterday by W. L. Kerr in conversation with a party of local cattlemen.
 "But a man must have a heart of stone" Mir. Kerr explained, ''to get desired results-must deaden his finer sensibilities that the afflicted animals life may be saved. The practice con- sists simply in running the calf as fast as a horse can make it go until it falls from sheer exhaustion. Then give it such attention as any other exhausted creature might need.
 "But suppose the animal already is down and far gone when found? You must make it get up. And, according to the Colorado mans statement, you must look beyond it's temporary suffer ing or you won't have the heart to whip it to it's feet This man carries a heavy blacksnake whip on his sad dle for that very purpose, and he nev- CT left one down. Once upon it's feet, the calf is as good as cured for, he told me; none ever died after the race. pass this on as it came to me, for the good 1t may do."

You Who Have Sons and Dear Ones Should Help

that has stamped out yellow fever as well as other great national scourges.
 Ex-President Taft is the chairman of the Red Cross. A partner in the house of Morgan is it's financial chief. Its accounts are audited by the war department. Its existence and opera tions are directed under special acts of congress, and President Wilson himself, by executive order, establish ed the executive committee under which the Red Cross is now being managed,
 The Red Cross is therefore a part of the fighting forces of the govern ment and must be supported as such. This support will be easy enough to get-when that support is too late. Let the toll of one battle mount-as it often does-to 25,OOO men or more! With the hospitals ove-erowded and our own men dying for want of at tention, the response to the Red Cross call will roll in fast enough-but then it will be too late.
 Don't you be one of those to hold back until that time. Don't be a stacker. You inevitably will contri- bute. Why not now?

Consternation struck local automo- bilists amidships yesterday when a number or them found yellow tags on their cars. This signifed that the owners had parked their cars on the wrong side of North Front street in the block between Third and Fourth streets. The board of supervisors re- gently announced that this would be Q barred zone," and that automO- piles could not be parked there.
 Notices were posted at the corner and various other places, but it hap pened that the supervisors made a mistake in the tags which caused them to read on the north side of the street, between Fourth and Fifth. A large number of machines were tagged yes terday and their owners notified they had violated the regulations of the su- peTHsors. No complaints were filed yesterday, however.

A SOLDIERS ID BE FURNISHED
 BYTHIS COUNTY
MOhave Leads In Number of Men Sent to First Ari- zOna; State Required To Furnish 3,363 Men for the Army.
tFrom sunday,s Daily Miner,

MOhave county will be required to furnish A soldiers under the selective draft law, according to a telegram received by the Daily Miner last night from Adjutant General Harris at Phoenix. To date, General Harris wired, this county has sent 30 men to the First Arizona who successfully passed the physical examination.
 More than 50 have gone from this county, however, including the latest recruits from this section. Following is General Harris telegram to the Miner:
 "Our records show Mohave
 county has already furnished the
 First Arizona with 30. Under
 draft law Mohave county required
 to furnish A. There is a possi-
 bility of some being rejected"
 MOhave County Leads
 Mohave and Coconino counties lead in the number of men enlisted in the First Arizona county since the draft law was passed, according to figures made public at the office of the adjut- ant general.
 Adjutant General Harris has pre- pared a table showing the number of Arizona's quota to the armed forces of the United States and the number that must be raised by each of the counties. Arizona's quota by counties for the selective draft army is not based on the registration from each county, but has been fixed by the war department.
 State Must Furnish 3,363.
 The quota for the state is 3,363, which, with the number of men to be raised for the First Arizona in fantry by draft at the time of the selective draft, which is 639, will make the total quota for the state 4,002. To this may be added about 600 more for the reserve, making the total number of men to be raised in this state 4,602.
 Following is the table showing the number to be furnished under the draft law by each county:

(By John B. Miller who was ap- pointed by President Wilson to take charge of the American Red Cross War Fund in the territory west of the Mississippi.
 If you are a real American you must contribute to the War Fund of the Red Cross during the week of June IS to 25, whether you believe your self able or not. If you are real American it is not question of giving from your surplus-you must give and keep on giving until you can give no more, and, even after that, you must keep on.
 We are at war, but we do not re- alize what war is, and, if the Red Cross is able to do its fall duty, we will never know what war can be.
 Do you know what the Red Cross does? Some day, Somewhere in France" when our soldiers are in the trenches, a line of American boys will leap over the top of their trenches, slip through the barbed wire, and, in face of high explosive shells, gas, li quid fire, shrapnel, grenades, machine gun and rifle fire, face the barbed wire in front of enemy trenches for the bare chance ol meeting bayonet with bayonet, other boys no more to blame for this war than they are.
 You know what the loss will be. You know that after Ypres the Prin- cess Pats had only 127 men alive out of the 6S9 that saw the sun come up that day.
 What of the fallen? If the Red Cross is ready, the Ambulance Corps of tke fighting regiments will carry the wounded back through the com municating trenches to the dressing station. Here Red Cross surgeons, un- der the direct control of the United States medical department, will give first aid. The wounded will be turned over to Red Cross ambulances, and carried back to the Red Cross field hospital for immediate attention. From the Red Cross field hospital, Red Cross ambulances, Red Cross trains and, in France, even Red Cross canal boats, will carry the men back to the Red Cross base hospitals. If the wound is not fatal a Red Cross convalescing station will take care of the soldier till he is ready to go back to the front. If the man is disabled a Red Cross steamer will bring him back to America, and the Red Cross receiving station here will care for him, send him home and on top of that look after his family after he is wounded just as it will have looked after his family all the time he has been away.
 Do you know what this means? In the old days before the Red Cross came, 600 soldiers died out of every 1000 wounded. Today under proper conditions the percentage is not over 5 per cent.
 If your boy was wounded every dol lar you have in the world would gc willingly to put him in Red Cross hands.
 The Red Cross is not a hit or miss organization, grabbing dollar here and a dollar there and wasting the money. It is one of the five offensive and defensive arms of every civilized government on the face of the earth
 Every dollar that comes in is spent by the best business men in America for supplies and materials designated by the medical department of the United States army-the department
