ENTERTAINED
 ON REARDON LAWN

Little Miss Helen and Master Geo. Leland, aged four and six, entertain ed a number of their little friends last Wednesday afternoon on the Reardon lawn, where the tots vied with each other in seeing who could get the most pleasure during the hours from to 6, which was entire ly devoted to their amusement
 Various juvenile games were indulg- ed in by the little ones, and the most agreeable little hostess and host assisted by Mesdames Reardon and Leland, left nothing undone to make the afternoon one long to be remem- bered by each and every child pres ent.
 Of course no children's party could be complete without refreshments, as the juvenile appetite, especially .. for sweets, is abnormally developed at an early age. The little guests were served with refreshments appropriate for children during the hours, consisting of ice cream, cake, candy and ice cream cones, and if a child uOeS nOC rellSn reIreSnmenCS or CnlS character it cannot be healthy child.
 Much merriment was created by the tots trying to pin the tail to the donkey while blindfolded. Prizes were given to the boy and girl most proficient, and little Cecelia Caring an was awarded the girls prize, and Jimmie Christie the prize for the boys. Jimmie said he could have pinned the tail on the proper place if he had not been blindfolded.
 Particularly pleasing to the tots was the huge cake which adorned the table, with the letters HI. & G."

CALLED
 FOR 5OO MORE MEN
THREE CALLS ISSUED FOR SEP. TEMBER TO 6-MEN TO BE GENERAL AND SPECIAL SER VICE OF CLASS |.

Provost Marshal General Crowder has issued three calls this week for 800 men from Arizona Three hun dred are of general service class I men, one hundred of special and Him. ited service and one hundred for special training in. industrial lines at the University at Tucson.
 Greenlee's quota of the general ser vice men, who will be inducted into the service between the dates of September and 6, will be eleven men, who will be sent to Camp Kearney.
 The quotas of the other counties, all of which are included in the call except Mohave, are Apache, 4; Co., conino, g.; Cochise, 55; Graham, 13; Greenlee, II; Gila, 52: Maricopa, 57; Navajo, 6; Pima. 3S: Pinal, 6; Santa Cruz, g: Yavapai, 29; Yuma, II.
 Special and Limited Service.
 The second call is for one hundred special and limited service men, all white, to be inducted into the service on the same date These, like the general service men, will be drafted from Class I, but will be sent to Camp Bowie at Fort Worth. Texas. To make up this quota Greenlee is called upon for six men. Excepted from this call are Apache, Graham; and Navajo.
 County Inductions.
 A special call for county fnduc- tions of one hundred men in. Class I, all white, who are ordered to en- train on September 1 for Tucson, where they will report to the com manding officer of the University of Arizona, for instruction in special in dustrial and mechanical education, such as auto mechanics, bench wood work, blacksmiths, carpenters, cleo tricians, machinists, sheet metal workers, telegraph and wireless oper- ators. Those for this service will be required to have grammar school education, show an aptitude for mechanical work and be physi- calIy qualified for general military service.
 Another call has also been issued to the counties Of Arizona having negro registrants in Class I, but this does not apply to Greenlee, as all negro registrants in this class have been exhausted This call is to ex- haust Class I of all the negro regis trants in this state. The reason giv- en by the war department in hurrying up these calls for such an early date, is to get them mobilized in time so as not to interfere with the registration of those from IS to 45, which is anticipated to be just as soon as practicable after the measure becomes law, probably on Sept. 15.

WARS CASUALTY
 REACHESGREENLEE
CLIFTON VOLUNTEER FIRST TO DIE FOR HIS COUNTY-W. L. Me. cULLOcH DIES OF WOUNDS RE. CEIVED IN ACTION

At last the toll of battle has been paid by Greenlee. One of the boys who went to the front to fight for the safety of mankind against the bru- tality of the Hunish hordes, has given his life in humanity's cause. The wars casualty list has reached our own homes, and before the peace of the world shall have become reality many other homes in Green lee may be saddened by the loss of some loved one who has given his life for his country.
 The first of Greenlee's sons to suc- cumb to the terrible war god is Willie Leee McCulloch, son of MT. and Mrs. J. G. McCulloch, of Duncan. News of his death was received by his parents last Thursday, and the same day the sad tidings reached Clifton.
 Previous to his volunteering into the service deceased had lived at Metcalf, which was given as his post office address on his registration card, which also bore the order number of 2S13. Those in the twenty-eight hum dred were not drafted into the ser vice until among the last, and had this brave young man been less pa- triotic he might at this time still be alive in some training camp on this side of the ocean. But he was made of better clay than many, and did not wait until called by force to fight his country's battles, but enlisted ahead of his call and volunteered for the service of his country. Thus the honor roll of the nation has another pa- triot's name inscribed thereon, vol unteer has been called to pay with his life for duty to his country.
 Will McCulloch was well known all over this district. He was reared in Texas, but had lived in Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf, where he work ed as an electrician for the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd., and was univer- sally esteemed by all who knew him.
 To his many friends and acquain- tances this sad news will be received with genuine sorrow, for many were pleasantly anticipating the return of their friend at the close of hostilities, but they will be consoled with the thought that their friend who volun- tered for service to his country now ills patriots grave some where in Bonnie France.
