MIME RESCUE CAR
NOW VISITING RAY

past week training men in first aid
to the injured and in the use of mine
rescue apparatus. This training is
given absolutely free and simply Of
fers another illustration of the many
activities of our government in pro-
noting the welfare of the people of
this country citizen and alien alike.
Millions of dollars are appropriated
every year by congress for the carry
ing on of this work, and it is safe to
say that many, many lives have been
saved and tens of millions of dollars
worth of property protected and sal
vaged due to the activities of this one
small bureau.
DR.. Williams, in charge of car No.
2, reports large classes at all camps
visited in Arizona, while Mr. Cunning
ham, foreman miner and instructor in
mine rescue, has his hands more than
full. Eleven miners working for the
Ray Consolidated Copper company
have awaited themselves of the oppor-
tunity to receive this instruction.
Tuesday, Dr. Williams held examina-
items in first aid. All men passing
this quiz will receive the government
diploma.
The bureau of mines has been put
to an extraordinary expense of late
for all the old wooden cars have been
replaced with modern, solid steel
coaches. No. 2 car is over 80 feet

HAYDEN NOTES

HAYDEN, Ariz., April 18.-The Lib
erty Loan drive is proceeding here
enthusiastically. The project of the
Ray Consolidated Copper company,
advertised and carried through en-
tirely at it's own expense, has proven
a most attractive means of selling
bonds. Every employee is now able
to buy bonds under the most advan-
tageous conditions, and a very large
number have thus far responded. For
the first week of the drive, out of a
total of 625 men employed, 430 had
subscribed making 50 per cent. The
three mill teams, under Messrs. Will
kinson, McCrae and Ellis, are going
ahead energetically, and the big
"clock'' indicator in front of the time
office at this writing shows the fol-
lowing:

Total.

We have had definite information
on the addresses of 1O2 Ray men who
have joined the army. We have sent
to these men in all 102 comfort kits
and 359 packages of tobacco. The
comfort kits need no description as
one of them, completely filled, has
been On exhibition at the club. The
packages of tobacco contained each
six sacks of Bull Durham, three cans
of Tuxedo or Velvet, and three pack
ages. of papers. Every man has re-
ceived a comfort kit. Tobacco has
been sent to the men once every
month, beginning last November.
Most of the men have received four
packages each, others have received
less, according to the time they left
Ray. There are still a few who have
recently left and whose addresses are
not known.
Please note that the above have
only been sent to the Ray men, and
have always been described as pack
ages: ITO the Ray boys from the men
of Ray" They give the personal
touch. We believe the boys have
something coming to them in this line.
1t is very small thing, and the least
that we can do is to impress on the
boys who have gone to do the rough
work the fact that we who stay at
home at our ease have not forgotten
them. We consider. no matter how
you look at it, that this is our duty,
and if the men of Ray find it as hard
to write individual letters as the COM
mittee finds it, we believe they will
agree that they are getting off light in
the way of doing their duty through
making subscriptions to the fund and
having some one else do the work
for them.
We wish to express our thanks to
the members of the ladies' commit
tee for undertaking the work of for
warding the goods.

Christmas, Ariz., in which the local
deputy sheriff lost his life while try

ems to claim still more victims. At
the time the shooting occurred, as
soon as the news spread through the
camp, several Americans seized their
rifles and rushed out to head off the
murderer, if possible. Though they
did not succeed in doing so, their zeal
in the matter has apparently drawn
upon them the hatred of the outlaw
or some of his pals, for they are now
stated, threatening them with death
if they do not Immediately leave town.
Who sent the letters is a mystery, and
there is much conjecture concerning
their origin, some even believing that
they were written by the murderer
himself, who, in that case, must be
hidden in the immediate vicinity.
R. Edelson, who for some time past
has conducted a tailoring business in

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION
AIDS FARMERS.

In compliance with telegraphed IN
structions from Secretary McAdoo, the
War Finance Corporation has wired
Federal reserve banks at Dallas, Kan
sas City, and Minneapolis to notify
banks and trust companies In their re-
spective districts, nonmembers as well
as members OF the Federal Reserve
system, OF the willingness Of the cor
poration TO make advances to those
financial institutions which had made
loans to farmers and cattlemen.
Droughts in these districts are Gre
ating a serious condition for the farm
ers and this action is taken to relieve
the situation.
Secretary McAdoo stated that no In
dustry was more vital to the war than
raising wheat, corn, live stock. and
other food products, and that the
banks should make loans on the notes
OF farmers since they are engaged In
an industry not only necessary ana
contributory to the winning OF the
war but vital to II.

The effect OF the Liberty Loans ana
