They do not serve pie. nor cake, nor
wheat bread on wheatless day, and
they observe meatless day to the let
ter. When the trouble-maker says
that he can get what he wants at the
Moore boarding house on Tuesday and
Wednesday, he lies, that is all.
Now, while we find that there are
some slackers around, we do not find
them in the restaurants. Each and
every restaurant in Ray is doing its
best to save food. We hope to have
the butcher shops with us soon, then
will have another story to tell you
regarding the nine butcher shops in
Sonora, and the eighteen restaurants
among the Mexican people.
Mr.. Jake Miller, owner of the Ray
Bakery, has been making enough
graham bread and rye bread to sup
ply those who are patriotic enough to
observe wheatless day. But be it said
for the good, patriotic spirit of Jake
Miller and Miller Brothers Mercantile
company in general, commencing on
Wednesday, January 8, they will offer
for sale at both the bakery and store
nothing but war bread, graham and
rye. No more wheat bread on wheat
less days. Nor will they sell you pies
and cakes on this day. nor any other
wheatless day, while the war lasts.
l say, and know. that any 100 per
cent American will say, "Hurrah for
Miller Brothers. and DOWN WITH
THE SLACKERS. PRO-GERMANS

herewith submit to the restaurants
at Ray, and the housewives also, some
recipes from the dining hall of the
Tempe Normal school. =

BUTCHERS Of
RAY AGREE TO
MEAT[ESS DAY

Announcement that the Tribolet
market would voluntarily begin a
strict observance of meatless day, and
that this course would likewise be
followed by the Ray market, was made
this week by Chairman w. E. Mullen
of the United States food administra-
ton. With the adoption of this policy
on the part of the two leading mar
kets of Ray, it is expected that all
butcher shops in Ray and Sonora will
in the near future begin the obser-
vance of meatless day on Tuesday of
each week.
Adoption of the meatless day pro-
gram by the two markets is voluntary.
Mr.. Mullen was called to the Tribolet
market and informed by the manager
that it was ready and willing to OBJ
serve meatless day by refusing to sell
on Tuesday of each week any beef,
mutton, pork, lamb, veal, ham or
bacon. Mr.. Mullen was further ad-
vised that the market would do it's
best to keep on hand good supply of
fresh fish and oysters, salt fish and
poultry.
The Ray market has advised Mr..
Mullen that it is ready to fall into line
with the campaign for meatless day
here, and without waiting for orders
from Phoenix, this market is al
ready featuring poultry, fish and
oysters in it's advertisement in this
weeks Copper camp. Every effort will
be made by both markets to live up
to the meatless day agreement, and
the cooperation of the housewives of
Ray is urged in assisting them in the
observance of meatless day.
'T feel sure that with the willing
ness of these two markets to join in
the conservation of food, that by next
Tuesday every butcher shop in Ray
and Sonora will have sign in the
window No Beef, Mutton or Pork for
Sale Today, said Mr.. Mullen yes
terday. Great credit for the bringing
about of an agreement for the obser-
vance of meatless day is due to Mr..
Mullen, who has worked increasingly
since his appointment as food admin
istrator for Ray That his work has
been successful in this respect is good
news not only for the food committee
of Ray, but for all loyal Americans

Word of the death of Harry Water
house, well known Ray miner, tim
herman and shift boss was received
here this week from Ell Paso. Water
house, who had been resident of
Ray for the greater part of the past
four years, was an employee of the
Ray Consolidated, having worked as
timberman, and for time as a, shift
boss. He severed his connection with
the company about the first Of the
year, and went to Ell Paso, where it
was understood he was engaged in
negotiating mining deal. No addi-
tional details as to the cause of his
death other than those contained in
the above dispatch have been received,
but it is believed by many who knew
Waterhouse here that death was due
to accident rather than any motive
for self-destruction.
