 Figures showing the per capita ex- pense of selecting the men from the different counties for the national army do not tell story of efficiency, inefficiency, canelessness or thrift, ac- cording to the Officiais in charge of the selective draft law operation in this state. Conditions differ in the coun- ties and tend in some to cause a larger expense than in others. Also in the counties where a small quota was furnished, the per capita runs much higher than in counties that gave a large quota, as the necessary ma chinery for the selecting of the men had to be supplied, although the tout put of soldiers was small.
 To a person who has seen little or nothing of the vast amount of labor expended in selecting Arizona's first comes no comprehension of the amount pay for this work, if none had given his services free or at a low price.
 It is estimated that millions of dol lars have thus been saved to the gov ernment, but in the call sent out for gratuitous labor it is reminded that every dollar must do its duty on the firing line" Every person who thus gave his or her services free in this work of selecting the first quota ot men for the national army is to be recognized in a communication of thanks direct from the president, a memento that in after years will be exhibited with pride.

Pima Agent Will Be Asked
 to Aid In Hunt for Body
 of Kenneth c. FaIston, Believed to Be Murdered

Still confident that the body of Ken meth C. Falston is somewhere in the valley, Constable Roy Morrell will ap- peal to the Indian agent at Sacaton to- day to allow the several hundred Pimas on the reservation to join the eXhaua- tive search that is being made by the authorities.
 Ben Falston, brother of the man who mysteriously dropped from view one week ago, has offered a reward of s100 for information concerning his where abouts or for the finding of his body. Some time ago FalstOn offered a $10 reward but believing a more deter mined effort would be made if he ad- vanced the sum, he now offers his hard earned dollars to anyone who ends the search which up to the present has revealed no trace of Falston.
 The country was secured yesterday as it was the day before and the pre- ceding days. Both city and coullty of ficers as well as private citizers have gone over every foot of ground where there was the slightest likelihood the body could have been hidden. Although the authorities believe te coat and scarf of the victim which were found in the vicinity of the power house on the Arizona canal were placed tllere with a view of misleading the officers they nevertheless passed many hours in that vicinity yesterday going over that stretch of country.
 Sheriff Wilky and Deputy Sheriff E. J. Warren left town early yesterday morning over the Black Canyon road. They circled the Black Canyon moun- tains going as far as the Union mine.
 Ben Faston with Ivan McCann formed another searching party pass ing hours along the Arizona canal, then north and east of the canal and finally south of where the clothing was found

With covers of down and fllets of
