 FAMILY RECORD
Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Gran vile Cumberland of Ray
 Are Believed to Hold Rec ord for Family Enrolment

Daniel Granville Cumberland of Ray, an employe of the Ray Consolidated, has offered a stronger guarantee of his loyalty and service to the country than any other man in the United States He has ten sons in the military and naval service of the country at this time.s They are following in his steps, for he served through the Spanish American war.
 The case of Mr, Cumberland was so unusual that General Manager L. $. Gates of the Ray Consolidated took the matter up with Representative Carl Hayden in the following letter:
 Hon. Carl Hayden, Washington,
 Dear Sir: We have a very inter-
 esting case in Ray concerning Dan-
 ieI Granville Cumberland, one of our |. employees, who has been here for
 some time.
 The interesting facts concern
 ing him are that he has 18 chii-
 dren, IS of whom are boys and
 girls. Of this number of boys, 10
 of them are in active service, eith
 CT in the United States army or
 the United States navy. This, to
 me, seems to be a world record,
 and l am wondering if there is
 anything that can be done, either
 toward obtaining letter from our president or the secretary of war, sacrifice and the great work he
 has done for his country. It cer
 tainly seems to me that a man
 who has contributed so many of
 his family to the service of his
 country ought to have some sort of
 recognition from some public of- ficiaI, as it would certainly be a stimuant to others to do likewise. With kind regards, yours very
 truly, LOUIS s. CAFES, General Manager. MT. Gates, in his letter, enclosed the | following record of the Cumberland | family:
