candidates on the Progressive Demo-

discrepancies in at least four of the
precincts, and possibly others.
Hence the filing of the petition today.

MARYLAND TO BE
CONGRATULATED
Rapid Growth OF The Birth Registra-
lion Area The War a
Stimulus.

Congratulations to Maryland, Vir-
ginia, and Kentucky. the latest States
to be admitted TO the Registration
Area for Birth by the Director of the
Census, Sam. L. Rogers.
The Registration Area for Births
was established in 1915 and was then
composed OF ten States and the Dis
trict of Columbia, representing 10 per
cent OF the territorial extent of the
United States but containing 81 per
cent of the country's population For
this area the Bureau of the Census
has recently issued its first annual re-
port, entitled Birth Statistics" As
the area grows the annual reports
will deal with the births in a con-
stantly increasing portion OF the
country and win, therefore, become
of constantly increasing interest and
1 value.
The outlook for a very rapid
growth of this Registration Area for
Births is so good that a word of cheer
| to the States outside should be given.
The need of complete birth registra-
| ton is recognized now as never be-
fore. The age of the soldier must be
known, and so new argument for
birth registration comes to the United
States. Since war was declared tests
OF the completeness of birth registra-
| ton have been made by special
agents of the Census Bureau in Vir-
ginia and Kentucky, and both these
States secured rating of over 80
per cent, which represents the degree
of completeness required for admis-
sion to the area
! Similar tests are now being made IN
Indiana and New Jersey, and before
the year is over will be conducted in
North Carolina, Ohio, Utah, and Wis
consin. Several other States are
nearly ready to seek admission, and
it is by no means wild prediction
that the Birth Registration Area with
| in the next two years will be more
than trebled in size and will contain
over two-thirds of the population of
the United States.
| One physician recently became SO
thoroughly aroused to the desirability
of recording births that he reported
to the local registrar $50 births which
had occurred in his practice since
1900.
Parents and physicians everywhere
are awakening to the Importance OF
this matter and the fashion now is to
register baby's birth.

HONORED THE FLAG.
Every Soldier In America SaIuted the
Stars And Stripes Yesterday.

Every soldier in America in camp
and cantonment saluted the flag yes
terday at dawn in honor of the ami

Wednesday by the War Department
in response to request made by
Mrs. Nat s Brown, of ST. Louis, Ma
tional President of the Children of
America Loyalty League. Mrs. Brown
telegraphed the Department that at o

of the anniversary, and requested that
American troops be ordered to pay
special honors at dawn.

CANTEEN SERVICE
THE RED CROSS
Only Small Portion OF National Army
Has Yet Gone To The
cantonments.

Canteen service of the Red Cross
for members of the National Army
and National Guard as they travel to
the environments is-being enthusiast
tically welcomed by the troops as
sembling at mobilization points and
an functions and waitovers. Reports
received by Foster Rockwell, Di-
rector of Canteen Service, from many
chapters which have been serving
light refreshments to the detachments
passing through their towns, show
the appreciation and enthusiasm oil
the troops.
At Washington, ID. c.. where the To-
cal chapter has been serving as high
as 10000 cups of coffee in day to
the troops passing through, the sol
diers leaned out of the car windows
when they saw the Red Cross uni
forms and gave an extemporized but
spirited Red Cross cheer. From all
parts of the country comes the same
story-the soldiers fully understand
the meaning of this patriotic service
of the women of the Red Cross.
Only a small proportion of the Ma
tional Army has as yet gone into the
environments, and the heavier work
of the Red Cross canteen service Is
still ahead. But most of the chapters
have the work fully organized, and
feel themselves equipped to meet
whatver emergency may develop.
The Red Cross canteen service
hopes to keep the Red Cross UNIFORM
conspicuous in railroad Bullets ano
restaurants all over the country
while the troops are moving. Ihe
canteen service uniform for women
consists of a white apron and DID
with a red cross on the front of the
bib, and a Red Cross cap. The male
workers wear lapel badge OF white
ribbon with a red cross and the ie'
gend "Canteen Service"
Railroad officials are authorized
through the War Department to daily
inform Red Cross chapter heads OF
the local movement of troops
Besides supplying refreshments to
the soldiers going through, canteen
service workers perform many other
little services for their convenience
such as mailing letters or postcards
The interest which the women of the
country have thus been able to show
directly, through the canteen service
has made a profound impression, and
has given the soldiers new heart anc
fresh spirit, because they realize that
the women of the whole nation are
personally sponsors for their comfort
and welfare.
Relatively simple as this activity OF
the Red Cross canteen service may
seem to be, it typifies at this moment,
as no other thing does, the national
spirit that is back of the Red Cross.

Health In Cooler Houses.


IF every family will reduce the
temperature of its house at least five
degrees, it will mean that millions of
tons of coal will be saved and the
health of the nation will be improved
This is not hardship; ii is health
measure, for most Americans live in
superheated houses.
The coal supply can be conserved
by more economical methods of FIR
ing, by sitting ashes, by watching the
furnace door and by heating only the
parts of the house in use To do this
is a public duty If the householders
of the country save one ton out of
twelve they save 100000 tons of
coal. The Bureau of Mines States
that many plants waste as much as
so per cent of the coal they buy
through unscientific firing and made
quate equipment.
Immediate changes to efficient
equipment are in many cases impos-
sible just now when our need to save
is greatest, but efficient firing and in
telligent effort on the part of all
power plant operators to do the best
they can with the equipment they
have, Guild mean an enormous saving
that would make the coal situation
safe instead of critical.
Solution Lies With People.
THE opportunity here for business
mems organizations throughout the
country to cooperate with the state
and local fuel administrators now be-
ing appointed, is obvious. 1t is the
patriotic duty of every manufacturer
to consider the problem of scientific
firing and to see that his firemen are
properly instructed Advice and in
formation can be had for asking from
the Bureau of Mines, which has made
etensive Investigations of the whole
subject of scientific coal using.
The solution of the coal problem
lies largely with the American peo-
pie. The government cannot save
coal for them: they must save it for
themselves. They must not rely
wholly upon price-fixing, nor upon
the already overtaxed transportation
system of the country, nor upon the
apportionment of coal, nor upon the
enforcement of the law All must CO..
operate The consumer of coal in
house and factory can cooperate most
effectively by the economies sug-
gested."

 In spite of the warm evening, the
 Morenci Club auditorium was well filled on Thursday evening of this week, when the annual commencement ent
 of Morenci Public Schools was held .. Miss Bernice Davis was the only 1 graduate from the high school while eighteen young people graduated from the Grammar grade to the high school l Promptly at eight o'clock the follow 1 ing were seated on the stage: John Riddle, D. M. Cansler and NJ. H. Me
 Lean, members of the board; Dean G.
 M. Butler, College of Mines and En-
 gineering, University of Arizona; Mrs. Jessie Billingsley, County School Supt., Miss Ella Schenck, high school princi- pal; Rev. w. J. Brooks, and the nine teen graduates. The program for the evening was opened by song, Voices of the Woods" by the Sth grade girls, which was renedered in an excellent manner. Rev. ". J. Brooks followed with the invocation. A solo by T. P. Romanes entitled,
 Song of the Soul' from the Climax was the next number and his singing
 was much appreciated. Dean G. M. Butler of Tucson was then introduc- ed to the audience as the speaker for the evening by Prof. Lutz. His talk was unusually good, touching on vari- ous points of immediate interest to the graduates as well as thoughts for the future after the close of the great war and the necessity of higher edu- cation to fill the great demand there is certain to be at that time. A duet sung by T. P. Romanes and F. s. Schimerka was pleasing to all and they received much applause. The program was concluded by a few re marks from John Riddle, President of the Board of Education and the pre- sentation of the diplomas. The girl graduates presented a pleasing sight in their pretty white dresses while the young men were dressed in con ventional dark clothes. A number of the young ladies were recipients of beautiful boquets of flowers during the evening. Miss Davis the high school graduate being the special favored one. Morenci public schools have a high standing of credit over the entire state and the young peo- pie are fortunate to enjoy these excel lent schools when we consider all con- ditions.

CHINESE REFUGEES TRAVEL
 TO TEXAS UNDER GUARD

DOUGLAS, June 11.-A special train bearing 450 of the Chinese refugees who accompanied the column of Gen. eral J. J. Pershing when 1t withdrew from Chihuahua several months ago, left Columbus, N. M., on Thursday for San Antonio, Texas. where the Chinese again will be interned.
 Ire Chinese, who had been terroriz- ed by Villa and his men during their operations in western Chihuahua be- fore Pershing came, chose to accom- pany the Americans to this side of the boundary rather than risk remaining behind. They feared they would be killed or at least brutally maltreated should they remain in Mexico.
 Since coming out they have been under guard in a concentration camp near Columbus. The government and friends provided them with neces- sities where they were not in a posi- on to purchase for themselves.
