began to arrive, and by o'clock this
morning there were 70 boys in the
hall. Some brought lunches with
them.
Gas Mr.. Shove had advertised he
would be at his office at s o'clock, the
boys all lined up and in order and
saluted him as he came into the hall
They had all been numbered and their
time Of arrival taken, and there was
no disorder. Within ten minutes Mr..
Shove had bought bonds from them
all. AS result, the Red Cross will
be about $4,000 ahead.
"Two girl scouts, who had braved
the chill of the early dawn, appeared
on the scene as the boys were enter
ing Mr.. Shove's office, but they re-
fused to remain in the presence of so
many boys and left before they could
present their Liberty Bond argu-
ments. Mr. Shove announced this
morning that he would buy bonds from
each of these girls if they would come
to his office.
Buys Two Bonds from Each
"As reward for their early morn
ing raid, Mr.. Shove announced that
he would buy two bonds from each Of
the eleven scouts of Troop No. and
subscriptions were entered this morn
ing for them.
"Mr. Shove was assisted this morn
ing in buying his bonds by Horace M.
Ragle, and their system permitted the
purchase of seventy bonds from sew
enty boys to be handled in a short
time With his bonus plan for the
first eleven boys, Mr. Shove has
bought about 100 bonds.
"The plan already has attracted
much attention in the city and is ex-
pected to boost the sale of Liberty
Bonds to a great extent for Red Cross
purposes"

FOR RED CROSS
PROVES SUCCESS

Ray, Hayden, Kelvin, Ray Junction
and other thriving municipalities
combined to make the Red Cross bas-
ket party held at Ray Junction, Fri
day night, decided success. From
the auction sale of lunch baskets con-
'ributed by the ladies the sum of $425
was realized for the Red Cross-and
those were some lunches!
Judge Baughn of Florence, after his
address on Red Cross needs, acted as
auctioneer. His competency in that
capacity is attested by the sum real
lied from the auction of the boxes.
Credit is also due to Tom Morton.
He went on second shift" as auc-
tioneer and, as usual, acquitted him
self favorably.
Entertainment in the form of vocal
and piano solos, a dramatic recitation
and dancing were provided for the
visitors. The Ray Con. Club band
turned out in force and furnished the
syncopated strains that resulted in
young and old tripping the light fan
tastic.
But for one incident, thoroughly
good time was enjoyed by all. When
the electric lights went out, Ray juno
tionites were too prompt in bringing
up reinforcements in the shape of ker-
osene lamps to dispel the gloomy
darkness. This act, instead of reliev-
ing the situation, actually served to
bring sorrow to the hearts of those
young couples to whom darkness Of
fers an opportunity to pay their re-
spects to Dan Cupid.

u THIRD LIBERTY LOAN; RAY CON
EMPLOYEES MAKE FINE SHOWING

Going over the top with total sub
scriptions amounting to almost three
quarters of million dollars as com
pared with quota of 100000 allotted
to the Ray-Hayden district, the twin
communities of Ray and Hayden have
made one of the most. remarkable rec
ords anywhere in the amount of Third
Liberty Loan Bonds subscribed.
Statistics compiled this week show
that the total subscriptions to the
Third Liberty Loan in Ray amounted
to $3S7, ,250, which was comprised as
follows:
1903 employees of Ray Con.

What Raw Did

From the above it will be seen that.
exclusive of the quarter million-dollar
subscription of the Ray Con. Copper
company, the people of Ray subscribed
$137,250, or about seven times the
quota of $17.759 allotted to Ray for
the Third Liberty Loan. Taking the
total subscription for Ray, including
the Ray Consolidated Copper company
subscription, entities this community
to 21 stars on it's honor flag.
Out of the 2240 men employed by
the Ray Con. Copper company in the
various departments of the mine and
railroad here, 1903 purchased bonds,
or an average of III Of the total num-
Der of employees of all nationalities.
Four departments of the Ray Con. sub
scribed 100 per cent, these being the
telephone department, engineering de-
partment, r. & G.. v. railroad and mis-
cellaneous employees.
Hayden Makes Great Record
At Hayden the total subscriptions,
amounting to $33S,860. were made up.
as follows:
6S2 employees of the Ray Con.
Copper company .......:...........$ $3.50
257 other subscribers ..........-.... 36,700

-, aooo oro

Hayden's allotment of the Third
Liberty Loan was $4,000, and the
above subscription entities Hayden to
four stars on it's honor flag.
A splendid showing was made by
the employees of the Ray Con. Copper
company at Hayden. Out of total of
642 men employed, including all ma
tionalities, employed at the Hayden
plant, only ten were unable to buy
bonds, bringing the percentage of bond
purchasers. for the Hayden plant up to
9S.4 per cent. Twelve out of the four
teen departments of the Ray Con.
show 100 per cent subscription, and
those two departments which ranked
93.3 and 92.7 are two in which there
are a certain number of laborers
whose employment is not regular on
account of the fact that the amount
of work in these departments is vari-
able. 1t may be said that of all the
regular employees at Hayden, 100 per
cent were hond nurchasers
A coincidence of the subscription re-
port is that the total number Of en-
ployes of the Ray Con. taking liberty
bonds at Ray and Hayden exactly
equals the total number of men en-
ployed at Ray. There are 2,240 men
employed at Ray by the Ray Con. and
of these 1908 bought bonds; 692 Hay
den employees purchased bonds, max
ing the total number of employees sub
scribing exactly 2240.
