 ATTENTION
COMMITTEE OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ORGANIZ- ED TO LOOK AFTER THE ANTS OF FIGHTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES.
CFrom Wednesdays Daily.)

With practically the entire com mittcc appointed by Chairman LcRoy Anderson in attendance at the organi- zation meeting of the Iavapai County Soldiers Welfare Society on Monday night, plans were well launched whereby this society will do much good work, not alone for the soldier boys direct, but also for their families The big brother idea will be carried out to the full meaning of the words. It IS not only the intention of this organization to assist financially, .when it becomes necessary, but 1t will do much in the way of assisting the soldier boys by sending them maga- zines, daily papers, tobacco, and if fact keeping track of their wants and those of their families, when it is nee essary.
 To this end the following commit tees were appointed:
 Finance-Robt F. Morrison, F. w.. Wells and pr. R. \. Looney. It will be the duty of this committee to de- wise ways and means for the raising of the necessary funds to carry on this campaign successfully in Iavapai county.
 Entertainment -Mesdames Ralph ]. Roper, Richard L.amson, Lester Ruff ner and Inez Mcdonnell. It is very probable that this committee will for mulate plans within the next few days whereby funds can be raised by an entertainment, in all probability similar to the Red Cross cabaret, which has become famous throughout Arizona for the splendid manner in which so large an amount of money was raised for so worthy cause. II is possible that this entertainment will also be given in Jerome and Clarkdale and inasmuch as the purpose Of this organization is to be countrywide, there is every reason to believe that such an event would be great sue cess.
 Organization - Robt E Morrison, Mrs. James Whetstine, Mrs. Morris Goldwater and Mrs. John w. Finn. This committee will perfect plans for the county organization.
 The general executive committee is composed of LeRoy Anderson, Robt. F.. Morrison, E. w. Wells, Dr. R. \. Looney, F. c. Brown, and Mesdames George C. Ruffner, Richard Lamson Inez Mcdonnell, John w. Finn. Morris Goldwater, James Whetstine P. ]. Farley and Mrs. E. H. Wilson.
 Special committees to investigate certain matters which have already arisen under the head of this organi- ration were appointed in the persons of Mrs. F. H. Wilson, F. w. Wells and Mrs. Morris Goldwater.
 This organization, until all plans are perfected and the organization in frst-class running condition, will meet once a week. One of the first duties of the organization will be to procure list of all the soldier boys, their address and the names of their families. This will include all volun teers and drafted men in every branch of the service. As soon as this is procured then arrangements will be made for the forwarding of good lit erature and other supplies which the boys and men will no doubt appreciate receiving. Grace NJ. SparkeS, acted as secretary for Monday nights meet ing.
 Judge E. w. Wells, in commenting upon the organization, said: ''It was happy thought and plan of Mir. An derson in bringing to head the idea which had been suggested by the Ari- zona State Council of Defense, as that body had intended the organization of such plan as Mir Anderson has outlined, but that organization has not the funds wherewith to work. Ii occurs to me that it IS the right move in the right direction and l am ready and willing to assist in every way possible
