., Brave Underlieutenant.
Under-Lieut Lesy. not yet twenty
five years old, is the idol Of the Sec
tion he commands because Of his i'm
perturbabfe calm and unshakable brav-
cry. During the victorious French
advance in the region Of Latule Lesy
observed a quarry near Mahet mill
which was full of Germans undis-
posed to surrender. Lesy advanced
folded his arms calmly. and said in a
voice of friendly advice:
You really do not wish to surren-
der? The Germans did not respond.
The Frenehman, without moving. call
ed to the poilus: Very well. bring
along the fame throwers" The sight
of these Instruments terrified the Ger
mans into surrendering gladly.
The same underIieutenant arrived
at Loges wood with his section, but
guns installed along the railroad en-
bankment. Calling to his side few
men, Lesy himself took an automatic
rifle and eraWled near the opposing
battery and opened fire. forcing the
German officer and fifteen men with
ten machine guns to surrender.
While one of his comrades started
rearward, escorting the prisoners and
charged with the booty, Lesy stood
up in the captured position and ex-

SENATOR ASHURST
TOSEEK INCREASE
FOR j. S. WORKERS

Senator AshurSt. of Arizona. intends
to take up the cudgels in the Senate
for higher pay for employees OF the Fed
eral Government.
Senator Ashurst last year succeeded
In securing increases for a number Of
employees OF the Indian Bureau. This
was done in connection with the In
dian appropriation bill. Senator Ash
urst. as chairman Of the Indian Com
mittee. was in charge Of this bill and
he succeeded in putting the bill through
the Senate with provisions for increases
OF pay for a number OF the employees.
despite determined opposition.
This year Senator Ashurst intends to
do what he can not only to get substan-
tial increases of pay for Indian Bureau
employees when the Indian bill come up
for passage, but, more than that. to
help in the movement for higher pay for
the lower paid employees OF the Govern
nent generally.
He has not yet announced what per-
centage of increase he will work for.
but it is understood that he believes
the schedule which the employees them
selves are demanding is a reasonable
one.

 SALES 0F OIL LAMBS

The National Bond and Securities company of Denver. Cob, have e1tab- lishe1 branch office in Bisbee at [ Main street, opposite the postoffice building and the Copper Queen libra " and in the rear of l. w. Wallace's real esta.e and insurance office
 The t-nd.lg company will act as sponsors for the American Oil EplOra- ton company. a $2.Oc0.0O corporation whose present holdings embrace over 11.O00 acres in Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma. Kansas and California, five recognized oil states and who are now negotiating for large acreage in the immense oil district of Tampieo, Mex ico
 The plan on which the company works is cooperative, inasmuch as the oil company is buying land and leases and letting the public in on small investments, selling as little as enc halc acre. enc acre or ten acres, an1 giving stock in the corporation as q bonus. This gives the small investor a chance to get in on the same basis as the big operators and make money from a small sum. For safety and d chance to make big profits this plGl has been declared by many who have already invested in it, the graa.est mutual cooperation idea ever devised and offered to investors.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

Last Night Residents of Dis trict Lost Hour Sleep; Clocks Tuned Ahead, But Conditions Unchanged.

WASHINGTON, March 90. - Last night you lost al hours sleep. probab ly without knowing it.
 While you slept clocks all over the ely were moved forward one hour in conformity with the Daylight Saving law recently enacted by congress. How ,ver. all will be compensated for that precious sixty minutes of cc1tent- ment next Ockober when all timep;ec- es will be moved back an hour.
 Emulating . plan that has proved uniformly successful in Great Britain and continental Europe. tle govern ment decided to adop. daylight saving as 9 war conserva ion measure One loss hcur last night, has gained mil lions of daylight hours that will b of inestimable value in speeding up the war.
 Training of troops will be eNE edite0 Men working in war plants all this sumner will complete an hours work before the sun gets high in the sky. and will finish their days work in time to have more daylight for recrea- ton or home gardening. It is. expect ed that risk of accident in industrial establishments will b reduced consid- erably because there will be one more light hour instead of a dim one at the end of the day. Traffic ard transpor- ation will be helped because the late day crush will come in full daylight instesd of gathering twilight. Health Benefit.
 4 general improvement in health and social welfare of workers is fore cast. Also. it is claimed the last hour of sleep will.be sounder and more ben eficial because the sleeper will not be exposed to the glare of morning sun light
 Proponents Of the daylight saving plan believe the extra hour well may be devoted 10 home gardening, thus relieving the national demand. Professor T. \. Carver, of Harvard, told congress committees that "a.. hours work day in a garden will prc1uca an amazing amount Of food
 Unless something unforeseen hap pens," he said. '''the world is going to experience the greatest food shortage in the next year that it has known since the Napoleonic wars. The chanc- es are that there will be many hungry people in our cities. not because there is not enough work for them to do, not because money wages will not be high, but because food will he hard to cat at any price. Anything which will enable working men to produce a part of their own food is, therefore. of ut most importance"
