north, the mountains on the west, the
mesa front on the south and the line

the damage to crops was not great,

part yer areas not planted.
The storm was accompanied by a
heavy electrical display.
The greatest loss was in sheep kill
ed. Gil Perea lost a little above 1000
head. 1t is said that Mr.. Perea and
his helpers tried to get the sheep out
of the draws and low places, but the
hail caused them to become unman'

moved. The result is that dead sheep
are piled in ricks. Jose Torres and
Saturnino Lueras also are said to
have lost several hundred each.

 HELD COMP LITE

Bona fide signatures in sufficient number are on petitions in the office of the secretary of state to secure a referendum of the women's minimum wage bill, according to Sidney P. Os born, secretary of state, yesterday.
 On the decision of Judge R. c. Stan ford of the Superior court next We'd nesday, however, rests the immediate fate of the bill, as temporary injunc- tion has been granted restraining the secretary of state from placing the bill on the ballot at the next election.
 After the long task of checking over the petitions and the names accompan jed by affidavits asking that their sig natures be removed from the petitions. it has been found that there remain 160 names in excess of the number neces sary for referendum. There will be another checking of the names, but the secretary of state is of the opinion that there will be little if any change in the result as announced yesterday.
 The total number of names on the petitions was 3,680. There were also S80 requests for withdrawals of names from petitions. In a careful examina- tion of the names on the petitions and also the names of those asking for withdrawals many interesting things were found. For instance, there are

 From Head of Committee

 In pursuance of President Wilson's proclamation of American Red Cross work we earnestly appeal to you to proclaim Sunday, June A. American Red Cross Sunday in all churches throughout the state for the purpose of contributing funds to the American Red Cross in it's campaign to raise one hundred million dollars.
 SEWARD PROSSER, Executive Committee Chairman, Amer

 Governor Campbell to whom the message was forwarded to Naco where he has been for a couple of days con- ferring in regard to the location of a cantonment site in Arizona, replied by telephone to his private secretary Mall colm Frasier, that the time was tov short to reply upon proclamation as a means of announcing American Red Cross Sunday, at least week being necessary for such a method of pub licitE. The governor, however, re- piled that he would make Seward Prosser's telegram public in Phoenix by means of the press and of his own willingness and pleasure in calling for such a day of observance and would also ask the Associated Press to an- nounce American Red Cross Sunday throughout the state.

BASE OF AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN BRITISH WATERS, June 22.- Jackies of the American patrol flotilla are getting the best of care and fare, as one result of the adequate equip ment of the flotilla's mother ship and the efficiency of the men who man it.
 Tt is really marvellous what you Americans can do,' remarked a British officer. The ship not only keeps the fleet in trim, but bakes the bread and performs innumerable other services for the men.
 The mother ship is the only place in the British isles where bread other than war bread" is made. A baker, formerly with two of the biggest hotels at a famed Atlantic coast resort, turns out daily several hundred loves of the finest wheat bread. The meats for the jackies on board are cooked by cher from one of Neww York's popular Broadway hotels. In fact, life is so pleasant aboard this beehive of in dustry that five members of her crew have not set foot ashore since her ar rival. preferring the ships accommo- dations.
