The fact that you let him come to see

are with him show our pleasure by
being interested in the things he talks
about and in anything that pertains TO
him. There Is no other real way to en-
courage a man. Appearing to run after

The Navy Camouflages Too

Dear Cynthia would like to say a few
words about the use of rouge and powder.
The person who thinks It a crime to use
them Is surely old-fashioned and should not
belong to these times. Young men of this
age most certainly do not pick out the girls
with the shiny noses--at least the young
men I know do not. Imagine "E. L." call
ing a girl who uses rouge and powder
coarse! The least l can say Is that such
ignorant egotism is very, childish;
Using rouge ana powder Is only a small
form of camoufage. Our navy has adopted
camoufage: but under the ,co!ors is hidden
the real thing. And tho girl who uses rouge
and powder often has Il heart of gold.

PRESCOTT IN FEW DAYS SOLDIERS DUE IN
CFrom Thursdays Daily

Major Carl F. Holmberg. com mandant at Fort Whipplc, yesterday received official notification that four non-commissioncd officers, 2 cooks and 50 privateS and lirst-class pri- yates had left their stations and were now cn route to Prescott, where they will take Up their duties at the local post. The message did not state just where the men were starting from, but it was sufficiently comprehensive, however, to make known the fact that the old post will be partially gar risoued within the next week or SO. This party of men IS being sent here primarily for the purpose of getting the buildings arranged for the rccep- ton or the large stores of medical and quartcrmastCr supplies winch have already been ordered and are presumably on their way here by this time. Major Holmborg states that while a large part of the supplies will come from the department hcadQuar- terS al Fort Sam Houston al San An tonic and some even from as far east as Washington, the men who garri- son the post will for the first few months at least. be dependent upon the Prescott dealers for large part of their groceries and other supplies, and that until the supply shipments begin to come in regularly, the local merchants ought to do a land-oihce business. After the cormissary IS opened there will also be a lot Of purchasing done locally.
 Col. W. l.. Lewis of the medical corps. arrived in Prescott early We'd ncsday morning, and spent the day looking over the post and will make a number of suggestions to the sur gcon general regarding the placing of the buildings and other equipment which in time will be sent here. Col Lewis came to Prescott from Ft. Bay ard, \. M., and left last night for Deming.
 W. B. Marquis, who arrived in the city last week with Major Holmberg. spent yesterday looking over the mu- nicipal water plant at Del Rio, and was of the opinion that the plant would be able to stand up under the drag" to which 1t would be subjected by reason of the big increase in the city's population incident to the gar risoning of the post. \ few rcpairs will probably have to be made about the plant and on the pipe line to put them in shape to handle the big load during inc summer months

LEADERS PLEASED
 WITH DECLARATION

DOUGLAS, Ariz., May l4-Re- publican leaders here give expression oi high satisfaction with the an nounccmcnt of Thomas F. Canpbell's candidacy for the govcrnorship. Its straight from the shoulder dealing with the l. W. w. and other pro German propagandists, inclusive of all agitators. touches strongly re sponsive chord for that matter with all of Douglas and CocliiSe county, wherein has been the leadership ot opposition in Arizona since the be- ginning of the war to all brands oi pro-Germanism.
 Douglas more than any other in dustrial center in the State has main taincd freedom from German propa- ganda of all kinds It has been given no chance for development at any period. During the strikes of last year. I. W. W. found the shelter city an inhoSpitahlc locality in which there was no encouragement to lin- ger and their stays were exceedingly short. The city and its people were intent upon the output of copper in support of the war and unanimously backed the fullest opposition to dis turb2u-c from any source This spirit has intensified as time has passed and the real purpose of the ag;tetors comes plainly into the lime light r. is condition that of course makes the Campbell announcement joubly popular
 Announcement along the same lines will doubtless be the fashion among gubernatorial candidates this year, commented one Republican leader but the fact will not be lost sight of in connection herewith that those following the Campbell lead now were not following it so that you could notice 1t during last summer \ present State official from whom all of the democratic wing in office were then taking and needing advice, was marching with the pickets on the Globc-Miami strike lines, while Campbell was riding deiiantly be- tween those lines in an endeavor to get the mines. mills and smclters go- ing again for Uncle Sam, who needed copper in his pockets to get muni- lions with. Campbell was right then and he Is right now. The other fel lows can change their spots now, but SO can the leopard and without being any less leonard"

PETRIE'S DEATH WAS.
 BY HIS OWN HAND
tFrom Thursdays Dailv.I

William Petric, whose body was found near the Wildhowcr mining camp a few days ago, ended life as q suicide, as was clearly established after an inquest was held.
 \ pathetic and yet tragic feature of his death is that he used the same pistol of small calibrc which his de ceased wife owned, and the mute story of adopting this weapon to destroy himself, IS believed by close friends to have been his silent message to the living of the deep affection he bore for her in life. and which is at tributcd to his committing the rash deed
 Mir. and Mrs. Petrie were very much devoted 10 each other. and after her death a few years ago the huS- band became tloroSe and gloomy, stating he could not wait much longer to be with her in eternity. Petric'S body was found on a shelf of huge sized boulder about a mile from the Wildhower camp. The spot was so secluded as 10 not be seen unless by stepping 10 within few feet of the place The discovery was made by Mexican who was hunting for his burros. He immediately informed the officers at Crown King. An cxamina- ton of the body showed that even though Pctric must have killed him. scli over two months ago. his hand sill firmly held in it's grasp the gun used. The single bullet entered his right temple. and death was instau- taneous. Nothing had been removed from his person. He had about SS in cash. watch and chain and other articles in the pockets. His features were unrecognizable owing to rodents eating away the flesh He was buried al Grown King by the side of the one to whom he was so devoted.

THOMPSON FEELS AT HOME AT
 CAMP MEADE
YAVAPAI MINER WITH THE 27TH ENGINEERS, WRITES THAT THE POST SWARMS WITH FAMILIAR FACES.
From Thursday's DaiIy.l

F. J. Bcssettc is in receipt of letter from \. \. Thompson at Camp Meade, Md, which IS quite enter taining in picturing army life, al though the writer has some grievance addicted tC the usc of the weed, and unless a remedy Is applied soon there is going to be 9 nervous breakdown III that regiment. Thompson volun- tarily enlisted with this corps, which is made mp solely Of practical miners, and here are some oi his murmur- incs:
 There are now some 10000 sol diers here, with my command made up solely of practical miners and en- einccrs of every character. The Eth mine engineers in which I am serv- ing, is the best known and IS lauded more than any other unit of the scrv- ice. lt looks like as if all the hobo miners of the western States had been oongrecatcd here. and one strik- ing feature of men from IS to 45 be- ing n line for duty is that not sin gle one in this command was drafted, but volunteered But, say, you never saw such a busted bunch of lads. There is no canteen service neither is there a post exchange, and 1t IS a long way to pay day, which begins about June , and runs for five days more. | don't see how the boys arc going to get along without tobacco That's the ammunition we want right now to win the war. Personally l am pretty well fixed in the weed game, but there are others who are anx- iCusly ycarning for chew or a whiff We have clothing galore for our backs, the food is fine, and if both are harmouized wilh some tobacco there will be peace in camp and choery smile on our lips.
 This is sure the place where they make genuine soldiers. the drills be- ing severe and the physical exercises strenuous. Really, the Eth Is the finest bunch of men ever saw in uniform and the regiment for this reason IS attracting nationwide re- nown When the war IS over and the boys get back in a stope. they will be doing work to the cadence of one. two. three from force of habit It is hard to get the miner lined uI. to drills, discipline and other rigid military doings. but when once they get in action, they are certainly cx- pert m the business. One thing to the credit of the boys from the west is everyone is full of pep, while those from other sections seem to be slow and ana.hcGC.
 AM you can hear around the bar racks. .s Jerome, Oatman, Prescott and other mining towns, and as sur pris'ng as il may seem have met hundreds who at different times have been in Nayapai So it seems like being at home as VIC thresh out the old straw and glean fond recollec- tious of life in a mining camp. So tell all the boys that the Eth IS lin- ing up for good work, and from the looks of things we will be sailing overseas soon to do our duty. And we will do 1t to 8 man."

BOMBING HUNS FROM
 AIRSHIP GREAT SPORT
(From Nednesdav's Deily.l

Another Arizona aviator IS making good iu vanquiShing the Hun. His name is Roger Clapp, and he will be iavorably remembered in mine oper- ating circles aS resident Of this county short time ago. Clapp stepped into the army and sacrificed a inc paving position, and since land ing in France has been attached to ihe famous Lafayette Escadrillc. His letter to Charles ]. O'Brien, of Hill side, who iS now in Prescott on busi- uc-s. is qui;c thrilling, and excerpts thcrcfrom are given as follows:
 April g. I9lS.-I am now in the American army. and attached to the Lafayette Escadrille, for which I am thankful. My commission was dated January 24. but was not received until March 12. We have been busy, especially during the past month. Our cscadrillc is always moved to the center of action and when the big drive toward Amiens started we came al once. The first week we carried as many small bombs as we could, and crossed the lines at low attitudes bombing Roche convoys, and advancing troops. After the bombs were released we swoopcd down on them and turned loose our machine guns It is great sport, and the thrill of being in action Is las cinating. l am driving a biplauc, with a Nickers' gun iu front or me and two Lewis machine guns in the rear for my observer. The observer s two guns are movable and can be aircd in any direction.
 After the advance was checked we went back to high altitude work again. carrying 10 big bombs to the machine and crossing the lines at from 5000 10 $500 meters, in bomb ing ammuHition cantOnmcnts, railroad trains and other military property. lt is very cold at 5000 meters GT.O00 icct). and even in April the tcmpcra- turc is at least 10 degrees below zero. There is quite a wind when going a hundred miles an hour or more. even though we have wind shield and are fairly well protected.
 We shall probably move beyond Amicns in few days, in which event we may be able to machine gun the Huns again, from a few hundred meters as we did before. It depends on how they advance There are more airplancs lost in this kind of wori, than in bombing from high al titudes, but it is much more interest ing as well as fascinating, and ! should be happy to get more of if to do. Since ' have been with this cscadrillc we have moved four times and have covered every foot of the front. So even here. old pal, l am the same wandcrer as in the west But fl is the finest kind cf sport and the more Bochcs ! kill all the better am | pleased There are plenty of Boche airplancs up in the air and we have some lively mixups. [ have IS bullet holes in my bus. but so far have not been hurt. | have bombed a good many. and shot few with machine guns Perhaps some day l may get it, but that is not bothering me in the least.
 Am not married as vet, but will be some of these fine days. Take inc tiD5"
