DESCRIBES HOW IT
 FEELS TO BE SHOT
(AIontreal Starr

A non- commissioned officer in the British army has written the follow ing sketch of what he felt when he was caught in machine gun fire and of the care bestowed upon him by the army surgeon who came to his assist ance:
 T don't know" he says. what most men feel like when they are wounded What l felt was that I had been hit by tremendous iron hammer and then twisted with sickening sort of wrench so that my back hanged on the ground and my feet struggled as though they didn't belong to me. For a second or two my breath wouldn't come. thought This is death, and hoped it nothing happened, thought 1 couldn' t be dying. I tried to turn on my side, but the pain stopped me dead. There was nothing to do but lie still on my back. After a few minutes two men in my platoon craWled past at a few yards distance. They saw me and seemed to be laughing, but they didn [ 1 stop. Probably they were wounded. 1 could have cried at their being so cruel
 Its being cut off from human beings that's as bad as anything when ones wounded, and when a lad wriggled up to me and asked what was up 1 loved him. I said, Not dying, I think, but pretty bad and he wriggled on. What else could he do? Then l raised my knees to ease the pain in my stomach, and at once bullets came over; so put them down.
 Tt didn't bother me much when the Germans began shelling the trench about 20 to 100 yards behind me-with heavies One heard them starting a long way off, and coming toward one with a glorious rush, like the swift rustling of enormous and incredibly | powerful pinions. Then there was 3 | thump, and 1 was covered with earth After about the thirtieth thump some thing hit me in the stomach and took my wind. thought thank heaven, it's over this time but it was only an eX- l tra heavy sod of earth

AJO VICTIMS T0
 RECEIVE DECREE

When IS otherwise perfectly sensible citizens of Ajo decided they needed antlers to make their personal appear ahce bewltching they concluded there was but one way to acquire these ap- pendages and that was to join the Elks. So today there will arrive in this city a delegation of exactly IS so- minded individuals, accompanied by a heavily armed guard who will escort them to the Elks Temple at the proper hour tonight. And then the degree team of No. 335 will have it's hands full at the special session arranged for the occasion.
 Ordinarily Elks lodge limitations are tame affairs as any member will tes- tify. But Brother Trincano has evolved a special ritual which will be tried out tonight for the first time and which if it adds to the proceedings the pep" it is believed it will, is likely to be made official throughout Elkdom. Of course if it results in any fatalities among the trusting novices, there may be some revision.
 Those who will come or be brought from Ajo for tonight's exercises are s. P. Harding, J. L. Davis, T. NJ. Uhler D. A. Turner, J. H. Tait, F. E. Averett, o. B. Patton, B. E. Davis, H. B. Thomas, H. s. Montgomery, H. F. Colburn, G. P. Saunders, s. W. Champe, R. J. Huddleston. J. w. Boyce, w. F. Nash, Fritz J. Schroeder and D. M Griffiths.
 Jew of these are strangers to the l Phoenix Elks. Fritz Schroeder, for in- stance, used to live here and then he moved away. Whether this expatriate will survive tonight is a grave ques- tion. If he had moved anywhere else than to Ajo it is certain he would not be able to leave here again except feet foremost.
 There will be refreshments after the solemn obligations have been taken by the visitors How long after the con- ! clusion of the ceremony they will be- 1 gin to have thoughts of home and dear ones, depends on how well Trincano's i ritual works. As special assistants l Trincano has enlisted the services of 1 Elks Taffe and Brakes.

haps it had not realized to what extent production would thereby be affected. But it had set against this an increased production by the larger mines.
 It was the opinion of. mining that there would not be increase One reason why there would not be the difficulty of procuring labor thing made difficult by the status of Austrian laborers who form considerable part of the mine labor in all the mining camps.
 It was also brought that the large mines since price fixing became effective have been working only high grade and have been neglectng development In the of operations this be exhausted after which there must be work only low grade until development has disclosed other deposits of high grade ore.

which makes wealth the coefficient of political privilege The system of Ser Vius Tullius, 2500 years old, is revised and manipulated for the benefit of the wealthy classes. At the core of the three-class system is the distinction in the electorate of three classes the great landowners and large financial and industrial fortuneholders: small business men and officials; and the proletariat Prussia accepts the theory of the historian, Von GneiSt, that be- cause Of heavier contributions and higher intellectual capacity, the two upper classes must be endowed with a more effective share of political rights. In the tax list of each primary district the taxpayers are enrolled according to the amount of their direct taxes, non taxpayers being rated arbitrarily as paying three marks. The list is then divided, beginning at the top. into three sections. The first collectively pays the first third of the total contri- button, the second, the second third, and the last class the remainder In the primary elections each class chooses by absolute majority an equal number of electors, or indirectly has an
 equal share in the election of the deputies. Let us say, for example, that the district above is entitled to six electors. Voting by classes, the nine members of the two higher classes se- lect four ot these, while the other two electors represent the 250 votes of the third class.
 Such gross inequality would not be exceptional in Prussia where the aver age percentage of the electorate in each group is 4 per cent in class I. 16 per cent in class H. and so per cent in class III. In many localities injustice is still more fragrant, as in the 3917 election districts where the first class includes
 not more than two men; or in Berlin where seven-tenths of per cent of the electors choose four of Berlin's precious
 twelve representatives To offer uni
 versal suffrage on these terms is a
 gratuitous affront
 The three-clas system is the nega-
 tion of all democratic government In most distrcts the first and second classes are practically inaccessible. At
 Essen the male head of the Krupps is
 the only man in class I in his voting precinct, and Rothschilds position at
 Frankfort was similar. Sometimes the injustice works the other way Chan cellor von Hohenlohe was one of the heaviest taxpayers in Prussia; but, as | his precinct was the financial quarter
 in Berlin, his ballot was engulfed with several hundred others, while elsewhere i in the city one of his clerks voted with 1 the select few. In this same district l the famous 2Sth, there is only one 1 elector in the first class, and two in l the second. Thus three men indirectly | elect one of the city's twelve deputies.

PAY
 WILL BE SMALL

That the farmers who had business dealings with the Glendale Creamery company to the extent of something more than $10,000 need hardly hope for more than 25 cents on the dollar, was the statement made yesterday by w. J. Galbraith.
 The creamery was thrown into vol untary bankruptcy some months ago and a settlement is looked for within so days, according to MT. Galbraith, who with Armstrong and Lewis, repre- sent the trustee, A. A. Carrock of Glen dale.
 The bankruptcy proceedings were brought after it became known that the president and general manager of the creamery, Harry Hutchinson, had dis appeared. After a continued search of several weeks he was brought back from California to face check charge which was dismissed.
 The books show that S10,692 is due the farmer patrons with S10,000 more due to others who had dealings with the concern, the total liabilities at pres ent are estimated at over $20.000. The assets appear, according to the books, to total SIP, ,000 but to oe deducted from this amount, says Mr Galbraith, is $4,500 which cannot be accounted for.
 This will pay the ranchers in the neighborhood of 25 cents on the dollan said MT. Galbraith. Whether or not they get the 20 cents will depend on the disposition of the real estate of the company. The real estate and im- provement should bring a good figure for l am confident that local cream cry could be made to pay and pay we'll"

The Price of Copper

If the fixed price of copper is reduced from 2Sls cents to 20 cents is proposed by the government the loss in production will probably than erbaance any saving that result from the price reduction And production just now is more im- portant matter than saving It has been shown, and it was easily seen that 20 cent price would porarily put end to the hopes of small mine owners especially those whose properties from the selters and from railroads At the late session of the Arizona chapter of the American Mining Con- gress it stated by a representative of smeter that 20 cent price would close down small mines in the northern part of the state alone which last year produced 5OO,OOO pounds of copper Even at 2Sh cents had been necessary he sad for the smeter make concessions to those small in the way of lower rates for the treatment of their

T. N. T.

Since it's invention and employment, that new explosive T. N T. had afforded no such demonstra- tion of it's destructveness as it did Halifax. Such a disaster occurred there could not have been pre- ciptaed in the circumstances by any explosive hther to used. Experts had figured out on paper the de- structiveness of T. N. T. They knew exactly the number cubic of gas that would released by the explosion of any given quantity of T N. T. but we do not suppose that any expert could have fnle- such widespread destruction as took place at Halifax.
 Some years ago an English scientist said it was possible to manufacture an explosive so powerful that the quantity of it that might be gathered on knife blade would be sufficient to lay London in ruins. Perhaps theoretically he was correct. It was with him matter of mathematics though no such explosive has yet been made
 But T. \. T. is an approach to it and we do not believe that the limit has yet been reached or nearly reached

BENEFIT GIVEN
 DELIGHTFUL ONE

Practically every seat in the Elks theater was sold for the Red Cross benefit matinee yesterday perhaps every seat, counting that many pur- chased to aid the cause who were un- able to attend. Those who did, en- loved a remarkable entertainment for the money, and those who did rot, missed doing a patriotic service and mighty fine show.
 Brandon Brothers outdid themselves to make the affair a success. Their house was a mass of national colorS, interspersed with the flags of the allies, while potted plants served to lend attraction to the gay scene.
 In addition to the entertainment given by the Redmond company-a mighty good show, as the company always gives-there were local people upon the bill and Sergeant Mitchell of the Canadian contingent made a brief talk which, the uncolored address of a man of action made a strong i'm pression. Being one of the first laid squad in his regiment, Sergeant Mitchell told first hand of what Red Cross first aid means and in the incl dents related of the heroic work of his comrades in the squad, gave real appeal for all who heard.
 Between the two acts of Dazzling Dora" the Redmond musical play, Miss Dixie Washington Matthie gave vocal selections while Dwight Deity more than pleased with his cello num- bers. Both local artists showed them selves in a high class among per- formers.
 Everyone on the bill, from stage hand to Mr Redmond, donated his or her services, so every cent taken in goes to the Red Cross cause.
