RAY. ARIZONA
Archie Lewis. REPRESENTATIVE

Rev. R. H. Herring. pastor OF Tan
ner Chapel, A NJ, E. church. in Phoe-
nix, spent last Friday and half of sat
urday in Ray. He left here Saturday
at o'clock on the Kelvin stage for
Ray Junction While two miles out of
Ray, the automobile in which he was
riding fell over an embankment and
turned over three times before it
reached the bottom of the CANYON.
All the occupants of the car were
thrown out and all were injured. some
very seriously. Rev. Herring suffered
many severe cuts about the face and
head and his left leg was broken
above the knee. When news OF the
accident reached Ray we were shock
ed beyond words Rev Herring was
rushed to the company hospital here
and everything possible was done to
alleviate his suffering Mr.. c. S. v.
Jones of Phoenix arrived in Raw on
Sunday and remained over until Mon
day to accompany Rev. Herring back
to his home in Phoenix. He was
taken on stretcher Monday morn
ing and the return to Phoenix was
begun. We learn that the trip was
without further accident and he ar
rived home safely. The entire colored
population of Ray wish Rev. Herring
a speedy recovery.
Miss Inez Stewart was hostess at a
delightful birthday party given in her
honor on last Monday evening. Miss
Stewart established a precedent by
stating her exact age. She gave as
her age twenty-six years, which
figure is in itself a record-breaker, as
no unmarried woman ever has any
birthdays after she reaches the age
of twenty-five. The evening was spent
at whist. Excellent music was fur
nished. Ice cream, cake and punch
were served and very pleasant
evening was spent by all present.
Miss Stewards mother, Mrs A. Stew
art of Phoenix, came over Monday and
brought a monster birthday cake for
her daughter She returned Tuesday
morning. Miss Stewart was the recip-
lent of many costly and beautiful
presents, among them were a complete
toilet set of solid ivory and beautiful
Victrola with a number Of records.

ONE YEAR or FOOD coNsERvA.
TlON

The American people were asked to
provide-as a patri9tic duty-wheat
meat, fats and sugar for our associ-
ates in the. war and their dependents.
The following results will show that
Americans did their duty. The Negro
who has large part in the handling
of food can feel a pride in what was
done in the matter of saving wheat,
meats, fats and sugar
WHEAT-The amount of wheat
above our normal needs for 1917-1918
was 20,O0O,O0O bushels; in other
words, that is all we could have ship
ped unless our home consumption
could have been reduced. If we CON
tinue to save at the present rate we
shall be able to send to our soldiers
and our associates in the war before
the harvest of 1918 is entirely in, al
most 170,O00,00O bushels-or, in terms
of our savings, we have done without
130,000,000 bushels of wheat to help
win the war. The wholesale price of
flour at Minneapolis, Mimi, May Is,
1917, was $16.75 per barrel. The
wholesale price is onw $1O.1S.
PORK-Meat-Th number of hogs
in the United States before the war
was about 100000 below what it
ought to be. The United States then
sold to foreign countries about 55,-
100000 pounds of pork per month
In March, 1918, we were able to ship
to our soldiers and our associates in
the war over 3O0,O0O,00O pounds of
pork in addition because our people
answered the Governments call to
grow more pork and eat less of it,
and we have saved and placed in stor-
age 1000, 100000 pounds of pork, lard,
etc.
BEEF-Before the wa rthis country
was shipping less than 100000
pounds of beef each month. We sent
96,9S2,O0O pounds of beef in May, and
with the people saving in the future
as they are now our boys will have
plenty o fbeef.
SUGAR-The United States Food
Administration is now asking that
the people of the United States reduce
their consumption of sugar to three
pounds per month per person for the
balance of the year This is asked in
order that the people of England may
have two pounds per month per per-
son, and the people of Italy one pound
per month per person. If the people
of the United States live up to this
requirement there is absolutely no
danger of a sugar shortage.
YAENOEhaG GereprpETAOI SHRDLDI
The average price throughout the
world in the past year has been about
twenty cents per pound, while in the
Unied states, because of regulation,
it has been ten cents pound or less.
Every one cent advance in the price
Of sugar means about $84,OO0,OO0 to
the people of this country.
RESERVES-Th present crops are
above normal and as the war con-
tinues with the withdrawal of men
from the farms to war work de do not
expect to have such large crops again.
Following the lesson of Joseph in
Egypt, the United States Food Ad-
ministration is collecting lrge stores
of food at home and in Europe; thus
we shall have reserves of food to
overcome any future crop shortage
here an denough food in Europe to
tide over our soldiers and associates
in the war for a time, in case the
steady stream of food shipped to them
is at any time interrupted.

FARMERS LEAD IN
 LIBERTY LOAN RACE
Buying More Bonds Than City Folks, According to Official
 Treasury Statement.

No review of the progress 50 far of the Third Liberty Loan campaign should fail to emphasize the surpris- ing response from agricultural states.
 "AIl of the states which have now exceeded their quotas" to quote from an official treasury announcement is- sued within a few days, "are agricul- Oregon, Arkansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Montana, Utah and possibly Minnesota. Those parts of Indiana and Missouri lying outside of the large dtIes are over neIr quotas, put rne large cities are behind. Mississippi is practically up to its quota"
 This is an exceedingly favorable sign. In the campaigns for the first and second Liberty Loans it was the farming population that held back. Country communities are not easily canvassed, and farmer folk, living in isolated homes, are not readily sub ject to the psychology of the crowd. The patriotic frenzies which sweep the more congested industrial areas and gather in vast numbers of recruits, human and financial, to the cause, are not felt at first by people who cannot see their neighbors' flags flying or watch parades or read new edition of the newspaper with every hour: Such Americans are left alone to make up their minds, unhurried by the pressure of neighborly example or so- cial opinion.
 But when they have made up their minds their response is immediate, unfaltering, complete. "The backbone of our country, sir," as the politicians are fond of calling them, fairly de fines their position in national thought"
 The example set for those who live in the cities is obvious. It is the city folk who have been doing all the flag waving and shouting; it is they who devour the newspaper editions as they succeed one another with breath-tak- ing bulletins of the battle of nations in France, and it is they who are priv ileged to wave goodby to the troop trains and the troop ships; bearing the best we have lover there" It is they also who have fallen behind in sub- scriptions to the Third Liberty Lean. There is a disappointment in the ! returns from large cities" says the | treasury circular, where the pace has not kept up with that established dur ing the second Liberty Loan. The | gains have all been in the rural sec tions, where the returns have keen most surprising"
 back up their noise with their dollars Shame on the man who will wish de parting troops godspeed and not in- vest in a Liberty Bondl
