INDIAN CHIEF A scoUTMAsTER.

Red Fox, Skuihushu, 'the Indian
Man Of Mystery" Is travelling on his
pony to his tribe in Montana with a
letter from President Woodrow will
son.
Red Fox was born in Alberta, Can
ada, in the Blackfoot country. At the
age of seven he was placed under the
guidance of warrior and taught the
things every Indian boy learns: To
know the stars, the trees, the birds,
the animals and their language. the
secrets of the woods and caves, Of
streams and pools. All the wonderful
lore the Boy Scouts of America are
gaining through camp life comes to the
Indian boy as part of his necessary
education by older men in his tribe.
Following his early boyhood days in
the Blackfoot reservation Red Fox
spent his early manhood in the Little
Horn country, where he went through
Segular graded schools and high
school. He was scoutmaster of the
first Indian Boy Scouts Of America.

"The Boy Scouts of America at eight
years of age Is full of strength and
vigor and promise for the future" says
President Colin III. Livingstone. "All
who are now members are having the
benefit Of the movement at the most
interesting time in its history, as well
as the most important time In the his

Life was never so full of oppor-

America, because of the effectiveness
Of its program and the character Of
its membership. Is playing mighty
important part In the affairs of our ma

"We are all proud to be scouts, but
why should we be content with a men,

AMERICAS DEBT TO SCOUTS.

April Is Kenton's moon on the Buck
skin calendar. and the reason the
scouts all know about Simon Kenton
is that, unlike some people, scouts
know that the western boundary If
the United States does not run along
the top Of the Allegheny mountains,
and that one reason for this IL the
great work Of the Buckskin men, says
Dan Beard.
It's high time these Buckskin men
were put in their proper places In his
tory, for as compared with the Puri-
tnns and the Cavaliers Of the eastern
coast they were real empire builders.
The Buckskin man possessed the
moral rectitude of the Puritan, COM
bined with the dash and gaiety and
joyousness Of the Cavalier. Fearless.
generous, hospitable, he is true hero
of romance. and that is the reason all
scouts love him.

KEEP 0NE SOLDIER
 FIGHTING IN FRANCE
A $500 LIBERTY BOND WILL MAIN TAIN ONE SOLDIER FOR A YEAR CORPORAL MCQUEEN SUG- GESTS THE IDEA.

Corporal w. A. Mcqueen, who is serving with the 27th Engineers, now stationed at Camp Meade, Md, who went into the service from this district, suggests the plan of every man in this district taking a person al interest in this war by supporting one soldier in the service The idea brought out in the suggestion is for all to feel a personal proprietary in- terest in some soldier who is fighting in France to win the war for demo- cracy- The suggestion is a good one, and if adopted generally will bring all closer to those at the front. Most every wage earner can do this by the plan suggested, and at the same time put by neat little sum that might be wasted in ways if not invest ed. This saving will be better ap- preciated when victory shall have come to the hosts of democracy's forces.
 The plan suggested by Corporal Me Queen is for each and every man in the fton-Morenci-Metcalf district to subscribe for one $500 Liberty Bond. This sum will keep and clothe one soldier flor a year. Don't you think you would feel a certain pa- triotic thrill to know that you were maintaining a soldier at the front?
 Read the letter of Corporal Mo Queen, then go and buy bond to maintain your soldier:
 "As a former resident of the Cliff ton-Morenci-Metcalf district, 1 am taking the liberty of writing to you in order that through the medium of the Copper Era attention may be drawn to the Third Liberty Loan. The Government has asked it's sold iers to write to the communities in which they have resided regarding this matter.
 T have been for. the past three months in Camp Meade, Maryland, and have obtained only a glimpse of what a tremendous undertaking this war is. I realize now, in a way, l never could before, how vital it is that everyone does his or our part in raising all the money required to win this war. The war will never be won if all the people do not sub- scribe generously to the Liberty Loans.
 Everyone in the Clifton M Morenci-Met calf district is capable of taking at least one $50 bond, to know that he or she takes out $500 bond is actu ally keeping and clothing a soldier in France for one year.
 Wouldn't it be nice for every one in Clifton, Morenci and Metcali to be able to say, T am keeping a soldier in France?"
 Yours respectfully, Corporal W. A. Mcqueen, Go. B, 27th Engineers

BETTER BABY CAMPAIGN
 COMMENCES AFTER SCHOOL

The Better Baby campaign, which is advocated by the Federal govern ment, and which was inaugurated all to continue through May, will not be pushed in Clifton until after the closing of the present school term
 Immediately after school is over the work of saving the babies will commence. All children under six years of age will be examined, and where remedial defects exists proper treatment will be given. The govern ment states that from this campaign it is hoped to save the lives of 100,- 900 children by curing remedial de, fleets in time that nature may restore them to normal healthy men and wo. men.
 The measurements of the children in Clifton will be taken, and all who have perfect children will be given proper certificates to that effect Those whose children are afflicted will be told just what is necessary to restore them to normal.
 It is expected that quite a contest will be waged to ascertain how many have children who are 100 per cent perfect. But many disappointments are likely in store for fond parents whose offspring is without defect( 1T their opinion), yet the disappontment may result ntageously, for ii the defects are insignificant, the remedy will be shown so that they may hope to have their children phy sically perfect in time.

PREPARING DRAFTED MEN
 FOR ARMY SERVICE ADVISED

Phoenix, Ariz, May 2.-Chairman Heard, of the State Council of De- fense has addressed all the Coun- ty Councils in Arizona suggesting ac- tive work in the better preparation of the drafted men for the work on which they are about to enter. He suggests that each contingent be call ed together in a. netting, there to be addressed, particularly, on three sub. jects:
 The men should be addressed by a lawyer, preferably member of the county legal committee, to explain the insurance and compensation law and the sailors and soldiers civil rights act.
 A physician would explain frankly to the men why in the interest of their own welfare and national cause, they should keep free from social diseases, with explanation how such diseases can be avoided and mini- mixed.
 Then member of the local draft board or some military man can in- struct the men in preparation for their new life, advising what clothing and articles to take, and how they can adjust themselves to the con- ditions involved in army discipline.
 These meetings should be open to all men who are to be called soon for service. In some localities there are opportunities for military train ing. Where there are not, it would appear advisable tht the men to gain some insight into the matters that soon will become of paramount i'm portance. Usually there is some old soldier available, while of helpful pamphlets and books there are many, as detailed in previous notice from the Arizona Council of Defense. Ad- vancement is certain in the army to the young man who studies and thinks and will be slow to all others.

The First National Bank of Clifton
COUNTY DEFENSE COUNCIL
 NECESSARY INSTITUTION

A public meeting has been called by Chairman Witt of the Greenlee Council of Defense for next Mond evening. The object of the call for the mass meeting is to put the Greenlee County Council on a work ing basis. One of the officials of the State Council will be in attend ance and address the meeting.
 At this time the importance of the council as working body was never more apparent. Some un-American expressions have been reported so far, and other rumors are afloat. One of the provinces of the County Council is to ferret out those who are not loyal American citizens and report the same, to the end that all may know who are loyal citizens, as well as those who have no sympathy with the government that has made them free men and women and to whose asylum they or their ancest- ors came when oppressed by "de fader1and.''
 People who would give comfort and aid to the enemy are but cumbering the space that might be occupied by true American citizens. It is said to the shame of the community that several have their residences in Cliff ton who are reported to have given exDression to words that could not be considered patriotic All such are heinz spotted, and unless they change their tune perhaps the haunts where they have been familiar figures will soon cease to remember them.
 Every patriotic citizen in Greenlee county should attend the meeting next Monday evening. The hour is s o'clock, so be prompt.

FOODS TASTE BETTER COOKED TOBACCO TASTES BETTER
 TOASTED

Since the day of the caveman. who liked his meat raw, civilization has learned a lot about the scientific treat. ment of the things we eat.
 Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our DO. tatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee unroasted.
 And naturally follows the great dis covery recently made by The Ameri- can Tobacco Co.-that tobacco tastes better TOASTEDl
 This wonderful new idea-simple like all great inventions-was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette-made of toasted Burley tobacco.
 Burley has mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to- bacco andLUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes taste like pipe.

Comfort Bags Supplied

The ladies of Clifton responded handsomely to the appeal of the Red Cross Chapter for comfort bags for the drafted men. More than enough for this draft was supplied, but none will be wasted, as another quota leaves Sunday week, and those not required will still be of service. But there is hardly any danger of having too many, as quota after quota will yet be called, and the ladies can keep busy. Those who responded to the call and furnished bags were em- ployes of the A. c. store, pupils of the eighth grade, Mesdames Irvine, W. J. Riley, Pringle, P. Riley, Al brecht, Carr, Shirk, Penn, Whipple, J. Cooper Billingsley, G. l..

 state, and leader of the county agri- cultural agents, visited Greenlee coun ty this week in the interest of his department. He visited the different sections of the county, in the inter est of the extension service, and while in Clifton addressed the stu dents of the high school on the sub- ject of planting and cultivating war gardens. To further conserve the food supply MT. Taylor contemplates a program for poultry raising in Cliff ton. This will likely be carried out the cooperation of the home demonstrator, should the board of su- pervisors decide to employ a demon stration agent.

Juveniles Arrested

Constable Bradberry arrested three small Mexican. boys last Monday charged with petty larceny. Three thefts were reported to the constable, who soon spotted the youthful thieves and recovered the stolen goods. All were too young for prosecution, so the boys were turned over to their parents for punishment. One of the cases was the theft of a pair of shoes from the residence of Mrs. Clark, in East Clifton. The bootblack at the Clifton hotel reported the loss of his shining tools and money from his money box. Three dollars was taken from the bootblack by one of the boys, while another appropriated his tools.
