Proudly waving to the breeze two service flags now adorn the General Office. One over the entrance to A. c. offices and the other in a like posi- tion over the railroad office.
 The two flags contain 199 stars, commemorating the men in service from these two companies. In per. pendicular rows nineteen stars repre-. sent the men. who have been induct. ed in the service, former employees of the Arizona & New Mexico railway.
 The flag which adorns the front of the A. c. offices is more pretentious in stars, as many more from this com. pany are now fighting democracy's battles. On this flag the stars are very artistically arranged. There are 1S0 of them. That many men from the Arizona Cooper Go.

RANcHMAN FOR SUPERVISOR;
 FRANC HODGES RUNNING

The ranchmen of Greenlee are ask ing representation, in the county off ces at the hands of the Democrats of Greenlee county in the approaching primaries, and are offering Frank Hodges, who aspires to the office of Supervisor.
 MT. Hodges is comparatively young man, qualified in every respect to discharge the duties of the office he seeks. He is a. life long Democrat, and is making the race strictly upon his merits. He says he has no en- tangling alliances, and is only promo ting his own candidacy. Has never been member of any click or clan, and if chosen as the nominee of the party to manage the affairs of the county, will be under obligations only to the whole people, and not the tool or henchman of any man or set of men who expects favors at the hands of those in office.
 MT. Hodges came to this district in 1900, and has lived here since his ar rival He was born and reared in the county of Lampasas, Texas, and there the principles of Democracy was in- stilled into him.
 When first coming here he accepted employment with the A. c. company but soon after embarked in the cat tie business, and has pursued that avocation since.
 He enjoys a large acquaintance all over the county, and those who know him best are his closest friends. That he will be a strong candidate is con- ceded even by those who oppose him.
 Believing the cattle industry is en- titled to recognition, he is making the race, but as better qualification he bases his candidacy upon his know ledge of the needs of the county and his ability to discharge the duties of the office he seeks. He asks care full consideration of his ability to serve the county when you make up your ballot at the primary election.

CHECKERS AND BALL
 NOW Y. M. c. A. FEATURES
Mechanics and Clerks Meet in Dead Iy Combat on Y Tennis Court Checker Tournament Started.

since IuoSQdy n1SuC tue McCudulCS have. been going about with a super for air, and the Clerks have been try ing the old stunt of 'if'' and "but. It all came about in this way: Since the twilight indoor ball league season started several weeks ago the Clerks and Mechanics teams have been unbeaten; that is, up to Tuesday night. That was the first time the two teams had met, and it was then the fireworks started. Believe us, 1t was some fireworks.
 In the first inning both sides went out in one, two, three, order. In the second the Mechanics got one run across, while the Clerks put seven over the plate. From then on until the seventh things looked bad for the Mechanics, and they began to get rattled, several of the old standbys throwing the ball away at critical tims But if the Mechanics threw the ball away the Clerks gave it away, for in the fourth, seventh and eighth frames they allowed the Me chanics to get away with enough tai lies to overcome the seven run lead the Clerks chalked up in the second.
 The Mechanics got another run across in the ninth, the stunt being pulled off by O'Leary. The Clerks put r two runs across in each of the last two innings, but were unable to stage a rally strong enough to put them in the lead. The final score being fl to 12.
 The Clerks and shelter team play ed on Wednesday, the game being fea tured by the varied noise producers used by the smelter rooters. Every thing from a triangle to COW bells ana tin cans were in evidence. The com bined noise had the effect of rattl1ng the wrong team, however, for the Clerks were victorious, the score be- ing 23 to z.
 A checker tournament is engaging the attentions of the checker fans at the Y now, the first round having been played Thursday evenn1g. A number of valuable prizes are up, and the competition is keen. The seml- finals will be played on night yet to be decided, and the finals will be staged next Saturday night. New interest has been shown ID the Y activities during the last few weeks, and a number of new features are being planned for the fall and winter months. Most of the younger men have gone into the army and the navy of their country. and the acti- vities are being planned with the older men in view.

GREENLEE FALLS
 ID FIFTH PLACE
IN WAR SECURITIES ACTUALLY SOLD-ESTlMATES EXCLUSIVE OF PEEDGEs-ANoTH DRIVE IN AUGUST.

Greenlee has maintained her posi- tion as third in W. S. s. sales up to the last drive, when she fell from third to fifth place in Arizona coun- ties. This drop is based upon the report of the State Director, and from figures furnished the Copper Era by MT. Wm. J. Donahue, of Morenci. The estimates are made up from fig ,ures sent into headquarters up to July 15 Since the last report has been sent in from Greenlee, sales and pledges have been considerably in- creased, which will increase the per centage, but the fact that this coun- ty has lost it's standing should spur all to regain our position in the col umn of counties of the state.
 The report to the State Directors shows that only, $144,97s sales have been made on Greenlee's quota of $377 ,8S0, and therefore short of rafs- ing the allotted quota just $232 ,902.
 Clifton has sold .$52 2,485, and has pledges signed for $50, 200 additional, making a total of $102,685 of safes and pledges. If the county's quota lis raised all must redeem their pledges at the earliest time, as no one desires that Greenlee should be a stacker in raising our quota of war subscriptions.
 According to the figures furnished by MT. Donahue the standing of the four districts in sales and pledges are as follows:
 Morenci, 90 per cent.
 Clifton 65 per cent.
 Metcalf, 45 per cent.
 Duncan, IS per cent.
 Chairman Adams, of the Clifton district. states that another drive for additional pledges will be put on in this district the last wo weeks in August During this drive it is hoped to wipe out most of the deficiency that now exists in Clifton's quota of Baby Bonds, so get ready for the drive and help to put Greenlee over the top.

HOME SERVICE SECTION
 VALUABLE RED CROSS UNIT

The American Red Cross Society is truly band of mercy. It's mission is to relieve distress wherever needed. Wherever suffering exists there will be found this noble band of-workers, alleviating pain and misery, and this mission of mercy is not confined to the battle fields, where maimed and wounded soldiers are falling at the hand of the enemy. There is another side of their acts of mercy.
 We refer to the Home Service Sec tion. The Clifton chapter is endow- ed with this feature, and MT. w. H. Neal is it's chairman. The mission of this section of the Red Cross work is to look after the dependents of sold iers who are at the front. Chairman Neal states that the organization in Clifton has not been called upon to render much aid to the dependents of soldiers so far. In fact they have had very little to do-not as much as they would do if this organization is only called upon.
 A feature of the work done by the Home Service Section is absolute se- crecy. When called upon this branch of the Red Cross takes their beneh- ciaries into their confidence, and what is done is not paraded to the world, but the feelings of those whose tem- poral wants they supply are respect ed
 But the mission of this organiza- ton means more than to supply the temporal wants of dependents of sold. iers. Every member stands ready to aid and succor those who may need them in any manner whatsoever. Per. haps it is a young wife or mother. whose son or husband is reported mis. sing or wounded on the battle field. To these human sympathy is a great balm, and those who compose the Home Service Section are just as ready to go to those with their sym. .pathy as they are to supply their tenn poral necessities. -....
 If you are in distress, or know of some dependent of soldier who is have the matter reported to MT. Neal who will see that all human aid is forthcoming.
 MT. Neal wants to make the Home Service Section of the Red Cross just as effective to those remaining at home as the Chapter is to those fighting Democracy's battles at the front. To do this he must have the cooperation of all.

 The past week shows slight in- crease over the last published re- suits, and perhaps a fairly good show ing will be made before the books are closed, but the election date is not very far distant, and those who wish to have a voice in selecting the officers of the county and state should not postpone registering too long. Many have disfranchised themselves by just such procrastination.
 Following is the registration ac- cording to party affiliation of the diff ferent precincts of the county:

COUNTY FAIRS
WILLGO AHEAD
Sentiment at State Associa-
ton Meeting Favorable to
the General Plan 4

County fairs should not be aban-
doned this year. il was voted yester-
day by members of the Pennsylvania
Association of County Fairs. meeting
in annual convention in Philadelphia.
The resolution adopted declared that
county fairs are one of the greatest
cncouragements to farmers and stock
breeders and they should be cultivat-
ed in this time of need rather than
abandoned. In the report of the sec
Ietary it was not only urged that the
holding of county fairs be continued.
but also that the Federal and state
governments as well as the counties
make appropriations toward their
support.
1t was thought that not even horse
racing should be abandoned. France
and England, 1t was declared. had
found that the discontinuance of rae
ing had discouraged breeding and
therefore, had ordered that 1t be re-
sumed in 1918. The United states did
not want to make a similar mistake
at this time when fine horses are so
badly needed by the Army, it was said
The county fairs of 1918 as planned,
however. will be somewhat different
from the fairs of the past. 1t is
planned to have food administration
representatives at all of them, to teach
the farmers the true meaning OF con-
servation OF food as well as the even
more necessary need of production.
Emphasis during the coming season
, will not be laid only upon the quality
tity records of each farm. Lectures
in intensive cultivation will take a
most important part, while there are
to be many practical demonstrations
of how the food supply may be in
creased.
The fairs of the future should be
cleaner of gambling than heretofore,
il was urged.
