FIRST HONOR FLAG
 IN COUNTY WON BY MAR|COPA CREAMERY

With an average subscription close Co fl00 for each Of it's 5S employees, the Maricopa Creamery went over the top yesterday in the Fourth Liberty loan, and won the first honor flag to be awarded any business establishment in this county if not in the entire state Tho total subscription of employees of thc company Is 5000, and every single one of them has subscribed for one or moro bonds. An honor roll. bearing the names of every employe, was hung yesterday. two days before the formal opening Of the campaign.
 We are indeed proud of the record made by our employees in subscribing 100 per cent to the fourth loan two days before the opening of the cam naign." said D. B. Webster, manager of the company. yesterday. "Our en- ployes range in age flom 15 to 73 years. Some are at present sick in bed, some have wives in the hospital, others are shortly to leave for the war. In the case Of many people circumstances such as these would serve as excuses for not subscribing. but In every in- stance our employees have willingly made the sacrifice necessary to buy a bond.
 T certainly hope that what the Msricopa Creamery has done along this line will be an incentive to every other firm and business house in Phoe- nix and the county" said Webster. We all felt that if we could go over the top with a 100 per cent subscrip- uon before the campaign opened that many other firms would want to do the same thing. Naturally the diff faculties of obtaining a 100 per cent subscription become greater as the number of employees increase, but am sure that what we have done, many others will try to do, and l hope they will all succeed.

 A similar occurrence took place in the same store few days ago, but with a different ending. It was circus day, and a Mexican was seen hang ing around the panama hat counter. The clerks tried to sell him hat, but he wasn't needing any. Soon after, when all were busy he disappeared and shortly thereafter his old hat was found on the floor. George Johnson, the proprietor. went out on the streets and after a brief search located his man. and none too gently marched him back to the store, where the cul- prit made indignant denial, but ac- cepted the inevitable when the pan ana was removed from his head and his old lid jammed on with more oi emphasis than grace.

Little Bertie Wellington Hurt.

Bertie Wellington. little grandson of Curt Miller of the Tempe News, while playing outside the yard Wednesday was kicked by a loose saddle horse and quite severely hurt in the chest just below the heart. He was picked up in an unconscious condition and a doctor hastily summoned, but it was some time before he could be brought back to consciousness. Though the injury is painful and there was evil dence of internal injury, the little chap is fast improving.
