LEAVING FOR FRANCE.

Fred IIOndrOS. Young Native Of Greece
Leaves Today for New York TO Join
the Army.
Fred IIondros, one of The proprietors
Of the Central Cafe opposite Philpot's
store, has sold out his interest in the
cafe to his brother, Charlie Hondros
and leaves this morning for New York
where he expects to enlist under the
banner Of Theodore Roosevelt and
fight for America against the Ger
mans. Fred freed himself from all
entangling alliances which would keep
him at home Monday and laid his
plans then for going to the front. He
says there is no use in hanging
around laurens, when he can go to
France and fight with Roosevelt for
freedom and liberty.

ARMY DRAFT BILL PASSES

WHEN ARMY WILL co
French War Mission Wants Troops
Sent ut Once; L. $. Officers DiSap.
prove Need Year Of Training.

Washington, April 30.-With the
Judgment of the French war mission
and the American army general staff
seemingly in conflict as to when Amer
lean troops should be sent to France,
particular interest attached to a con
ference at the White House today be-
tween Prcsidctn Wilson and Rene
! NiViani, head of the French mission
! Decision rests with the President
! through his constitutional function as
commander in chief of the United
states army, it was generally assume;.
that the views of the French officials
disclosed in Marshal Joffres state
ment yesterday advising that Amcri-
can troops be sent to the battle front
soon, were formally presented to Mr.
! Wilson during the conference.
No information as to the discus
sion was given out, however and no
administration officials would COM
mcnt upon the statement Of the great
( French soldier.
| Upon that subject have no com
mcnt to make" was the reply which
( Secretary Baker met all intcrroga-
tons.
| There is no question, however, that
! the general Stam disapproycs any
I &uggctsion that American forces be
sent abroad until they arc fully
| trained and equipped for the task be
iorc them With ihC exception Of final
touches to be given behind the bat
tic lines. This has been made cvi-
dent by testimony given by many sta
officers before congressional commit
tees within the last two years and by
the administration sccctive draft
bill, under whose provisions no clc-
mcnt of the army, regular ma
tional guard or conScript, would be
ready for service for many months.
So far as volunteers arc concerned
there has been no indication that
the administration would favor the
proposal that separate provisional
army be raised for early service in
! France.
Stripped Of all military proes and
cons, the proposal made by Marshal
Jcffrc and apparently supported by
l all members Of tho french mission is
understood here as providing that a
small force Of American troops. pos
Sihly 4 division number $4,000 to
10000 men be sent at the earliest
possible moment to France for the
sentimental effect It's presence would
have both upon the French and the
| Germans.
On the other hand stands the often
repeated military prcccpi Of the gen
oral staff that no man can be con
sidcrcd tit for even defensive warfare
until he has had more than one year
o! intensive training.
On one point there is complete
agreement between Marshall .Ioffrc and
the American officers. Both believe
that any force $Cnt to France must be
given additional training on French
soil behind the battle lines before il
should take its place in the trenches.
There is reason TO believe that the
commissions have been presented di-
rcctly TO American officers during the
conference here.

SHELTER COUNTER ATTACK
FA|[SWHEN M|L[ERSCUT LOOSE
IN SIXTH in [AAST WEEKS CAME

HAYDEN. Ariz., May lit wasn't in
the Smelter team when it played the
Mill Wednesday of last week to get
up and hit five runs across the plate
in the three innings that remained to
them after the Mill team cut loose in
the sixth. Not long ago there was a
baseball man in Hayden who shook his
head wisely and said he thought our
time had come-that we were going to
see our finish last Sunday at the hands
of the Smelter boys. Now that man is
nowhere to be found, but we opine that
if he comes back he will admit the err
ror of his ways and give the credit
they deserve to our Invincibles.
The sixth inning of the game played
on the bright afternoon of Wednesday,
April 25th, marked the time when his
fallacious theory was disposed of once
Smelter fans when this inning was
over, and thereafter held their peace,
for, except in the seventh, when Gibbs
knocked home run, no bright streaks
came their way.
Up to the sixth Slagle pitched a fine
game for the Smelter, but at that point
either he weakened, or the Hill boys
got next, for they found him. in a
way that was a caution, and though
the Smelter team played with speed
and skill, they were utterly unable
thereafter to. retrieve their losses
Mclean started that sixth inning. riot
with a three-bagger. Mcdonnell fol-
lowed with a long hit to left field,
reaching first and scoring Mclean.
Burch was sent to first by being hit by
a pitched ball, Mcdonnell to second.
Westerzell bunted, and filled the bases.
Davis hit to short and brought Burch
and Mcdonnell home Next, Guest hit
to left field, made first and advanced
Davis, Johnson hit to centerrield, and
once more the bases were full. Sta
delli grounded to second and sent
Guest and Davis across the rubber.
Kane, next up, got hit but a smart
double play by the Smelter stopped
the damage from going any further,
and ended the inning.
Previous to this inning each side had
scored one run: the Smelter getting
one in the first inning when "a tumble
and wild throw filled two bases, and

HAYDEN SCHOOL S
FINE RECORD
But Somebody Seems to Have Blum
dered in Matter of Play
Receipts

HAYDEN, May At has never been
the purpose of the Copper Camp to
neglect giving praise where 1t is de-
served, and certainly no better oppor-
ing approval than the record of the
Hayden school during the past months.
The untiring energy and industry
which prepared and staged the various
school plays here have gained enough
money to pay for the school piano, the
school drum, and are now paying for
the school library.
Three plays have realized over seven
hundred dollars, one bringing in two
hundred and twenty five dollars, and
the latest, '"The Kings Daughter" one
hundred thirty six dollars gross. From
the actual sums taken in, however, had
to be deducted the amounts demanded
by the local theatre company, and in
this connection we learned with con-
siderable surprise that they took fifty
per cent. Considering the object for
which the plays were given, and who
gave them, it is shame that the chill
dren's pathetic offering of hope and
effort should be so ungenerously treat
ed 1t is evident that the theatre man
agement is not given to sentiment, but
we understand that higher authority
has written a hot protest on the sub
ject, which we hope will bear fruit.
The school itself ranks second to
none in the state in it's average at
tendance, which last month was 81 per
cent, being better than Phoenix. The
previous month, also, Phoenix stood
"a per cent and Hayden &c. For the
entire term there was total enroll
ment of six hundred and thirty pupils,
and the school now has about five
hundred.
A new school building is planned
for the near future, although up to the
present no work has been commenced.
The location of the new building is
uncertain, but it is believed that the

MAY FESTIVAL
At HAYDEN IS
PRETTY AFFAIR

The May Festival, held Tuesday, May
1st, by the school children of Hayden,
was an occasion so picturesque and
charming that it will long be remem-
bered by the large crowds who wit
messed it, Around half a dozen May
poles girls in fleecy white dresses
danced an accompaniment to music
whose strains were waited up as faint
and sweet as an echo from fairyland.
Guided by varicolored streamers, the
dancers wove in and out, advanced and
re treated, presented an intricate maze
that the eye could not follow.
The May Queen, Miss ella Cook,
made pretty picture as she arrived
in her throned chariot at the scene of
festivities, and afterwards surveyed in
regal majesty the activities of her de-
voted subjects.
The singing of "The Star Spangled
DdAuCI dllu WY OOuuLTy, LIS Ol
Thee" by the children was listened to
with bowed and uncovered heads, and
came as an apt reminder of the grave
affairs Of which this pretty scene was
momentary relief.
About one hundred and fifty pupils
were in the Maypole dance, while a
much larger number stood in lines at
attention during the performance. The
pains taken in securing and embellish-
ing the proper setting for the scene and
the much greater labor involved in Sc
lecting and drilling the participants re-
suited in work of genuine artistic
merit, the credit for which is due en-
tirely to Miss Kiser, the charming and
popular teacher of the Hayden school,
whose work in connection with the
school plays produced in the recent past
has occasioned such favorable COM
ment.

HAYDEN ANSWERS
THE CALL To ARMS;
SIX JOIN NAVY

The call to war is being answered in
Hayden, six men going out from the
smelter side last Thursday week.
Among these were the two Engleblom
brothers, Bert Sainsbury and Clark
son, who will leave as soon as he can
make arrangements to do So All in
tend to join the navy. Wednesday
evening S. G. Harter, recruiting SER
geant for the First Arizona Infantry,
tackled up a placard inviting all able
bodied male residents of Hayden be-
tween the ages of Is and As to .volun-
teer, making plain the various reasons
why voluntary enlistment is prefer
able to draft.
Much enthusiasm is also shown for
two particular branches of the service
the Officers Reserve Corps and the
Naval Reserve. Messrs. Hognason,
Dent, Weaver and Christie, all en-
ployees of the Ray Consolidated Copper
Company, have applied for permission
to enter the three months training
course preliminary to entering the Off
GERS Reserve, and Mr.. Tom Helm, also
of the Ray Consolidated, has made a
similar application with reference to
the Naval Reserve. The latter appli-
cation has not as yet been heard from,
but the above named applicants for the
Officers Reserve received notice in the
early part of the week to present doc
tors certificates and letters of reference
to the examining officer at Phoenix by
a certain date. The four applicants de-
termined to go in a body to present
these documents, but were detained un-
| til after the date set for the examiners
departure for Tucson. Accordingly
they left by stage for Tucson Tuesday
morning, returning Tuesday night.
If accepted, the applicants will be
permitted to take the three months
course of intensive training speci-
fled by the new army regulations,
during which training period they will
receive 500 per month remuneration.
Special interest centers in the applica-
ton of Dent, whose fame as baseball
pitcher needs no comment, and whose
deserved popularity in Hayden will in
sure him our heartiest wishes for his
success. He has had previous training

Containers for Solutions

An ordinary, thin-walled drinking
glass is filled or partially filled with the
solution. A saucer or small plate, in
which is placed a piece of WHITE blot
put bottom up over the glass. The
whole is then quickly inverted, match
placed under the edge of the glass, and
the container is ready for use. AS the
solution dries out of the saucer the
liquid seal at the edge of the glass is
broken and more liquid flows into the
lower receptacle. Thus the paper is
always kept moist.

Butler across the plate. The Mill du-
when Kanes wo-bagger and Meloan's
heavy hit in combination scored the
former.
Gibbs home run for the Smelter,
when he knocked the ball over the
fence, was, as above stated, the soli-
tary streak of good luck that team
had after the SIXTH and the game
closed without an additional run on
either side.
With three games to the good, no
wonder the Millers are feeling good,
or that Mill fans, complacently observ-
ing these good things, are having
dreams in which they see an uninter-
rupted series of victories extending
into the future An amusing feature
of the occasion was the wild rumor
spread around as to what was happen
ing to the Ray team 1t was stated
with perfect seriousness that Tonne
man, Hosp and Bromley had been dis
missed, and that Delhi had resigned.
How the Mines team was to play with
no men available to take their places
under fifteen days did not seem to
weigh against this sensational state
ment which, however, was promptly
disposed of by telephone inquiry to
Ray.

KILL FLIES, SAVE LIVES
Five Games Already Played

Kill at once every fly you can find
and burn it's body.
Observers say that. there are many
reasons to believe there will be more
flies this season than for number of
years
The killing of just one fly NOW
means there will be billions and tril-
lions less next summer.
Clean up your own premises; see and
insist that your neighbors do likewise.
Especially clean 'out of the way
places" and every nook and granny
Flies will not go where there is moth
ing to eat, and their principal diet is
too filthy to mention.
The Fly Is the Tie That Binds the Un-
healthy to the Healthy
The fly has no equal as germ car
rier'; as many as five hundred million
germs have been found in and on the
body. 1t is definitely known that the
fly is the carrier" of the germ of
typhoid fever; it is widely believed that
it is also the carrier of other dis
eases, including possibly infantile
paralysis.
The very presence of a fly is signal
and notification that housekeeper is
uncleanly, and inefficient.
April Nav and June are the best
months to conduct an anti-fly cam
paign.
The farming and suburban districts
provide ideal breeding places, and the
new born flies do not remain at their
birth place but migrate, using railroads
and other means of transportation, to
towns and cities.
Kill flies and save lives
