RAYS SHOWING IN
SECOND LOAN DRAWS
FAVORABLE COMMENT
"Fiqeers" in Case


Arizona with a total subscription
of $7,742,75O (official final figures)
to the Second Liberty Loan, has done
much towards sounding the death
khell of Prussianism, militarism, au-
tocracy and Kaiser Bill Hohenzollern.
Statistics compiled at Liberty Loan
headquarters today from bank state
ments in all sections of the State show
that greater number of people have
interested themselves in the downfall
of the German allies than during the
first campaign.
In Maricopa County, for instance,
there were $500 subscribers to the
Second Liberty Loan as compared
with approximately $500 subscribers
during the first campaign, an in
crease of almost 175 per cent.
approximately one in each seven
inhabitants of Maricopa County pur-
chased Liberty Bonds of the second
issue, using as basis an estimated
population of $4,000 for the county.
The greatest percentage of pur-
chases was at Hayden, with an esti-
mated population of 5000, the little
mining village turned in 1903 indi-
vidual subscribers for total Of $97,-
$50 This is more than one bond pur-
chased to each inhabitant of the vii
lage.
An0thov. bonn r1y hlQ HronOrd WaS
made at Ray, where 2,066 individual
subscribers were recorded. Rays
population is estimated at approx
mately 5000. These subscribers pur-
chased $164.55O worth of bonds, ex-
elusive of the purchase of $4,000, 900
worth of bonds by the Ray Consoli-
dated Copper Company. Approx
mately one in every four inhabitants
of Ray purchased bonds.
The Ray figures are the more re-
markable when it is considered that
about rs per cent of the inhabitants
are foreigners, and large percentage
of these Mexicans.
>The total subscription through
Phoenix banks according to an Off
cial figure announced today, was
$2,SS5,75O. Of this, $1,800,O00 was
Subscribed by mining companies of
the state and is. credited to districts
other than Phoenix. Other large sub
scriptions through local banks, that
is, subscriptions amounting to $4,000
or over, totaled $3OS,OOO leaving a
total of 98O,75O subscribed by indivi'
duals of the district in sums of $4,000
and less.
In other words, the $500 bond pur-
chasers of Maricopa County subscribed
to a total of $9SO,75O worth of bonds
or an average of $144OO for each sub
scription.
The average subscription at Hay.
den was approximately $4,000 and at
Ray about $4,000, exclusive of the Ray

BEWARE OF FAKE
CLAIM AGENTS IS
BAUGHN'S WARNING
Florence, Ariz., April II, 1918.
Arizona Copper Camp,
Raw. AriZ.

Ray, Ariz.
l am in receipt of communications
both from the Secretary of the Treas
ury at Washington and from the Am
erican Bar Association, calling atten-
ton to the fact that unscrupulous
claim agents, pension attorneys and
other persons are notifying benefi-
ciaries who have occasion to make
claim under the War Risk Insurance
Act for the death of relatives in the
war, that the said beneficiaries must
employ counsel in order to be sure
of obtaining this insurance money
from the government. In many in
stances it is reported that bene-
ficiaries of persons killed in the war
have been induced to advance sub
stantial sums of money to these un-
scrupulous persons in return for the
promise of service which is not
necessary.
The Secretary of the Treasury
states in his letter:
There is no necessity for the
employment of claim agents or
attorneys for the collection of the
benefits granted by the War Risk
Insurance Act, because the pro-
cess of such collection is exceed
ingly simple and the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance stands ready
to render any and all assistance
required. A great service can be
rendered by making these facts
clear to dependents of soldiers and
sailors who are being approached
by INSCRIPTIONS persons"
May l not, therefore, ask that you
give prominence to this letter in or
der that all persons in Pinal county
who may become beneficiaries under
the War Risk Insurance Act may pro-
tect themselves from such unscrupu-
lous practices
The American Bar Association sug
gests that the patriotic lawyers of
the country advise claimants, free of
charge, of their rights under this law,
and all members of the Pinal County
Bar have been asked to render such
services without cost.
Very sincerely yours,
o. J. BAUGHN,
Chairman, Pinal County
Legal Advisory Board.

regulations covering such examina-
tions. Since this board has been
scrupulously careful in obeying its in
structions which, for minutiae and
detail, are not excelled anywhere in
this country, it naturally resents such
an uncalled for and untruthful attack
the board should be sufficient guar
antee in this community against any
such action as that charged in the
article in the Citizen.

Consolidated subscription. With the
mining company subscription consid-
cred, the average surpasses the $100
mark.
Jerome, with approximately $50 sub
scribers, purchased more than $780,
900 worth of bonds, or an average of
$4,000 for each subscriber. Of this
amount, however, $1,OO0,OOO was SUBJ
scribed by the United Verde Exten-
sion Copper company, and credited

bandit robbed the safe an express
car on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way train No. /, westbound yesterday

Soon after leaving Charlottesville
Marshall opened the door OF his car
to call a helper from another car. A,
masked man in overalls, armed with "a

SMALLPOX ON TRAIN
Man With Smallpox on Southbound
Train Taken off at Clifton Forge
Other Passengers |acclnated nn Ar
rival in Richmond.

Richmond, Va, July 3l.-The State
Board of Health issued statement
today emphasizing again the danger
that people take in going about with.
ont having been vaccinated against
smallpox and typhoid fever.
That one can never tell when ne
will rub against person suffering
from smallpox was shown last Fri
day when a case was discovered on a
Chesapeake and Ohio train. The car,
which was well filled with people,
was sidetracked at Clifton Forge and
the man with smallpox was taken off
and sent to a hospital, but the car was
not detained nor were the other pas
sengers vaccinated. They were al
lowed to proceed on their way with
out medical attention until some OF
them reached Richmond, when the
health authorities, having received
word of the case, vacclnated all who
were still in the car. Others who
had been similarly subjected to infec-
ton. however, had gotten off and
were not treated. The Health Board
points out that this instance clearly
shows that any one may come in con-
tact with case of smallpox at al
most any time without one to be vac
cinated This applies especially at
this time, when travel is so congested.
In addition to the sanitary precau
tions about which much has been said
and written, and care in the use of
drinking water and food especially III
summer, the Health Board strongly
urges vaccination as a further pro-
lection against typhoid fever.
The treatment consists of injec-
tions of dead germs of typhoid fever
in very large quantities. These germs
will not absolutely protect against
typhoid fever, in very large quanti
ties. These germs will not absolutely
protect against typhoid fever, but
their presence in the blood sets up a
reaction that greatly increases a per-
sons power of resistance against the
disease. Used in the United States
Army and Navy, typhoid vaccine has
practically wiped out typhoid there; it
is believed it will accomplish equal
results if properly used by the civilian
popuation.
The vaccine can be bought from the
State .,Board<of Health at.very small
cost, but it must be administered by
physician. "a l.:
