HEALTH AND EFFICIENCY.

The commercial value of physical fitness
IS at last being understood.
Employers of high-priced statesmen are
giving careful study to the relation OF
health to efficiency. They are realizing
that the man who draws S., 900 year rep
resents 100000 capitalization, and If he
only produces 80 per cent of the business
he should, the condition is analogous to
manufacturing plant 900 out of repair
"a thing no successful executive would toll
erate-and we'll worth the cost of a physl-
clans fee to correct
Many industrial plants furnish medical
attention to employees who ask for it, but
it has developed that many in need of treat
ment do not realize their condition. Ninety
seven out hundred recently examined at
a big plant were suffering from ailments
and ninety-siX believed themselves to be IN
perfect health. Compulsory examination
is now required, and all are included from
apprentices to department heads and exc
cutives. aCrefully compiled recodrs show
that the men who give best service are
those who pay most careful attention to
their health. This applies with equal force
to laborers and technically trained special
lists.
One salesman, now we'll past middle age,
who was considered a second-rater during
what would normally have been his most
productive years, has DGCOIHS d SOLSlSlCHl
record breaker in a highly competitive field.
He used to be termed plodder, working
long hours and taking little recreation.
Now, he works only six hours a day, five
DAYS a week. and devotes large part of his
time to carefully regulated exercise and
recreation.
+ our leaders in the sales force OF an inn
portant concern are referred to by their
associates as good health cranks." One
has gym in his home, another takes long
cross-country hike each morning, the
others make calisthenics part Of their daily
program. The four are infinitely careful
as to what and when they eat. And they
are producing more business than any other
six men in their line.
The man who fails to take care of his
health is cutting down his own earning
capacity and is reducing his years of SER
vice 1t has taken long time to prove that
the near welP' man is doing both himself
and his employer an injustice. Some do
not realize it yet. When everyone gives
as much thought to health as to appetite,
the resulting economic gain will be meal
culable.
AS a conservative measure, compulsory
medical examination of every man, woman
and child, at regular intervals and at public
expense, would prove one of the most
profitable investments the American people
could make.

She picked up the little dress, got
out her sewing basket, and sat down
to mend it, Perhaps she did not
manage very well, she thought sadly;
perhaps about the baby's clothes she
had been foolish and extravagant.
But this was her first baby, and she
was doing the best one could. And
mother-in-law's surveillance and
criticism were very hard to bear.

ELEANOR BOYD is
BITTEN BY RATHER

Little Miss Eleanor, four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Boyd,
was bitten by rattler last Sunday
evening, but through the efforts of
her parents and the timely arrival of
the family doctor her life was saved.
Miss Eleanor and her little brother
were playing in the yard and ran upon
the snake coiled at the side of the
path before they saw it. The little
boy succeeded in stopping at a. safe
distance from the reptile, but unfor-
tunately Miss Eleanor could not, and
as a result was struck three times, all
three wounds being made just above
the ankle.
The screams of the children brought
their parents on the run and first aid
relief was given and a messenger sent
for the doctor. The latter arrived
quickly and with hard work saved the
little one from serious results. While
the danger stage is past, it will be
two or three weeks before Miss
Eleanor will be able to use the in
jured limb. 4+

RAY CON ADDS
MILLION FOR
LIBERTY BONDS

Ray is responding Loyalty and gen
erously to the urgent call for money
to carry on the war, and subscriptions
in this camp to both the Liberty loan
and the Red Cross have already
reached figure that assures Ray of
a high place among the communities
of the state when they are ranked as
to their financial contributions to the
great cause.
The Ray Consolidated Copper COM
pany has purchased $1,00O,000 worth
of Liberty bonds, one-half Of this
amount being subscribed through Ari
zona banks and one-half through New
York banks. This adds an even
$500,000 to the credit Of Arizona's sub
scription to the Liberty loan.
Not only has the Ray Consolidated
put a million dollars into the Liberty
bonds, but the company this week
also declared an extra dividend of
twenty cents share in favor of the
American Red Cross. This dividend,
which will be payable July 25, will
amount to over $315,OOO.
Other large concerns throughout
the country are also taking similar
action in favor of the Red Cross, the
United States Steel, Utah Copper,
Chino, and Nevada copper companies
also declaring Red Cross dividends.

VINE At P|NAL
NOW ALL IN ORE

The winZe being sunk in the inter
mediate tunnel at Pinal Development
is now in ore all the way across. The
ore, which runs about 20 per cent
copper, is growing wider with depth.
The winze was started down at a
point $50 feet from the mouth of the
tunnel, at a point ITS feet under
ground. 1t is now down about 80 feet
and the entire face of the winze, four
feet in width, is all in rich black ore,
shot full of native copper.
Striking of ore three feet wide in
the upper workings at Pinal was an
nounced in the Copper Camp two
weeks ago. Since that time the
winze has been started down and the
results have been most encouraging
to John C. Devine, president of the
company, who is in charge of opera
tions. AS a result of the excellent
showing made, the winze will not
only be continued, but an upraise will
be driven from the lower tunnel
which should intersect the fault at
depth underground of about $50 feet.
Ore encountered in the intermedi-
ate tunnel was followed for some dis
tance last year. Last summer a winze
was started, but it apparently bore too
far to the right and ran out of the
ore Nothing more was done in this
particular direction for months. A
few weeks ago Devine was looking
over the tunnel and came to the con-
clusion that the winze had borne too
far to the right He put man at
work breaking out shoot to the left
and the first shot picked up the ore.
Since then it has been doing down
strong, and with the present showing
almost any shot may open up an ore
body of surprising extent.

this particular stretch. 1t is doubt
full if this would be sufficient to put
all the road in good shape and it may
be possible that more will be ex-
pended.
From Florence to Kelvin the build
ing of new road is estimated to
cost approximately 100000. This road
will connect with the new bridge now
in the course of construction across
the Gila river at Kelvin.
The road from Florence to Superior
is estimated to need another 100000.
This would give Florence a good road
to practically all of the best towns
in the county and would at the same
time give good roads from Ray and
Superior to the county seat
From Hewett's station it is the plan
of County Engineer Lane to make a
slight detour of possibly two to three
miles around the mountains to make
better Superior to Phoenix road.
While it will be impossible to make
as good road of this as some OF the
others in the county, it is estimated
that approximately $4,000 will be ex-
pended from Hewett to the Maricopa
county line. 1t is understood that
Maricopa county will take care of the
road from their county boundary to
the capital.
The supervisors held meeting the
first of the week relative to the road
bonds, but it is understood that the
question of apportionment of the
money will not be taken up until a
later date, or until more definite in
formation can be had as to the re-
! quirements

In an eighth inning rally by the
Miners in the game with the Smelter
last Sunday, what looked like an easy
walk-away for the Smelter was very
nearly turned into victory for the
former.
The Smelter started off in the first
inning with lead of three runs and
further increased this by scoring one
in the second and in the seventh by
scoring two more. Flick. the first
man up in the first inning, was allow
ed to walk to first base. Butler made
first on Hosp's error and Flick went
to second. McMurdo bunted and was
safe at first on fielders choice, Flick
going out at third. McIver sent a
long fly over the left field fence and
cleaned the bases. The Miners failed
to score even a single run until the
eighth inning when Forsythe was al
lowed to walk to first, this being fol-
lowed by five hits off Leverett, and
each hit scoring a run. This made
the score six to five in favor of the
Smelter. Another effort was made in
the ninth to get a score or two in, but
it could not be done.
The game by innings follows:

ROAD BOND MONEY TENTATIVELY
APPORHONED BY SUPERVISORS

While the board of supervisors mas
not officially apportioned the $15O,G00
bond issue money, it is reported that
a tentative apportionment has been
made and if the matter is acted upon
officially as it now stands Ray and
Superior will fare tolerably we'll in
good roads.
Information received at the office
of the Copper Camp is to the effect
that the road between Ray and Hay
den, or to the county line just this
side of Hayden, will be the first to be
put in tip-top shade. For the Hayden
end of this road the sum of twelve
thousand dollars is set aside. That
is from the county line to where the
sum of money will be expended. From
Kelvin to the Kelvin end of the new
road there is allotted $4,000. This
will put the Ray to Hayden road in
first class condition with the excep-
ton of the road between here and
Kelvin. At the present time this par
ticular stretch of road is not in the
worst condition by any means, and
while it should have considerable
work done on it, it can be used for
some little time with few repairs.
The road between Ray and Super
ior will be continued from where it
was stopped just beyond Walnut
Grove and it is estimated that $4,000
will be sufficient to handle this.
For the road from Kelvin through
Ray and up to the new road between
Ray and Superior there has apparent
ly been no estimate made of what the
cost would be, but it is thought there
will be at least $4,000 set aside for

M|[[ERS TAKE
MIDWEEK GAME
FROM SMELTER

The Millers had an easy walkaway
in the game with the Smelter last
Wednesday. Leverett pitching for
Smelterites failed to hold the Mill
boys down to less than nine hits and
seven runs, while Brandt, pitching for
the Mill, shut the smoke team down
to four hits and fours runs, all of the
latter being we'll earned. In the
fourth inning McIvor, and in the ninth
buddy both batted the ball over the
fence for home runs, the former also
scoring McMurdo who had been pass
ed to first. That made two runs in
the fourth, the remaining two being
scored in the seventh, when buddy
knocked a two-bagger, scoring Nc
| Ivor, and in the ninth, as above re-
corded, when he knocked a home run,
making the fourth and last run for
the Smelter
AS usual, when the home runs were
made, the bases were empty, or nearly
so. McIvor, when he knocked his
homer, had only one man on, and the
same was true of Stadelli who, when
he topped the fence in the seventh,
scored. Guest inaddition to himself
Guest, Davis and Stadelli for the Mill,
and buddy and Callan for the Smell
ter, made two base hits. Brandt walk
ed one man against Leveretts four
and struck out eleven against the
Smetler mans two. Five errors were
made, three of which were on the
side of the Millers.

COUNTY ENGINEER AND COMMITTEE
VIEW PROPOSED NEW SECTION Of
ROAD FROM KELVIN To HAYDEN

! the heavy taxpaying section of the
county and that it is where there is
the greatest amount of travel. At
the present time he has a force of
about fifty men and forty head Of
mules working on this particular Sec
tion of the road, which he plans to
have completed within another month.
He will also have an approach made
to the new bridge at Kelvin while
working in this vicinity.
AS soon as this end of the road is
completed the camp will be moved to
the Hayden end of the road, where
it will stay until the entire road is
in first class shape.
The first abutment of the new
bridge at Kelvin has been completed
and by the first of the coming week
there will be a much larger force of
men employed in pushing the work
on the next. All of the machinery
necessary for the building of the
bridge has arrived on the ground and
is being set up. This will make the
work progress much faster Up un-
til the present time it was impossible
to work large force of men and
while their efforts do not show up
prominently to the ordinary layman,
they really have accomplished a great
deal. The approach to the bridge on
the opposite side of the river from
Kelvin has been completed with the
exception of a small cut through the
side of the hill, which can be accom-
plished with day or two of work.

Tuesday night was the regular
monthly meeting of the Board of Gov
ernors of the Ray Con Club, and it is
reported that considerable interest
was manifested. 1t was decided at
this meeting that the club would do
nate the music for the Red Cross
dances which will occur twice a
month and that this will be regu-
lar donation of the club to the society.
This will mean considerable sum
when the total for the entire season
is found as the music costs $25 for
each dance. The club did not pay
for the music at the big dance last
Saturday night as this was donated
by the band. The club secretary re-
ported that a large number OF new

County Engineer Lane, accompan-
led by Supervisor Schilling, L. P.
Jones and Jake Miller, the two latter
having been appointed for the special
occasion by the board of supervisors,
made a trip of inspection last Satur-
day over the proposed new road from
Kelvin to where the new road COM
mences. While the distance from
Kelvin to the new section of road is
only little over a mile, it is the
worst kind of country to build roads
over. Engineer Lane has completed
the preliminary survey and has de-
signed a road, which met with the ap-
proval of the committee of viewers.
The new road will eliminate several
sharp grades and will be at least a
half mile shorter than the old road.
At the big wash where the water
comes down from Troy, it is planned
to straighten the channel for the
water and then put in a cement base
or apron across the entire wash. This
will make it possible to cross the
wash even when the water is at con-
siderable height. Heretofore, after a
heavy rain it was impossible to make
a crossing because of the damage to
the roadway and oftentimes it was
several days before this particular
spot would be a safe place to cross
without danger of being stuck.
Engineer Lane is putting in a great
deal of time planning to make the
roads for this section meet the re-
l
