PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis Of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee OF the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics aud the civil pOpulace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifce will depend Europe's fate in The
months TO come. In the past year We
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be-
You'd comprehension But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation OF nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
he almost doubled. Instead of 1882
600 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food 10 Europe In the coming
year-as much MS can be pushed
through our ports
IL the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos-
sible for them 10 maintain their de-
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on purely
voluntary basis. the American people
have conclusively proved that democ-
, racy is Il success ano that in time Of
need it will rise TO It's own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to It's credit the very fact that il
has shown the strength of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence OF the Food Administration
in the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet America S
food problem IN q basis Of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
irresistible.
"Many thinking Americans" said
Mr. Hoover land the whole world
have been watching anxlously the last
four months in the fear that demo.
cratic America could not organize ia
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that 1t could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability tC
mobilize, organize. endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently In many dl
rections and upon the mere word O
inspiration aside from the remarkabl,
assemblage of our Army and finances.
The history of the Food Adminlstra
/ tlon has clearly shown that the trus
OF those who put their faith In democ
racy has not been misplaced.

POSTOFFICE REMODELED
 300 NEW LOCK BOXES ADDED

The remodeling of Clifton's post office, which commenced some time ago, has been finished, and that pub lie building now has many added con- veniences just installed. These all work for better facilities for the employees in handling the mails, as well as give more lock boxes for the accommodation of the patrons.
 The lock box sections have been widened and extended. The lobby in front enlarged, which relieves the crowded condition at the delivery, stamp and money order window. These, with the added parcel post window, have been placed in the front or center section. Three hundred and twenty new lock boxes have been put in which gives this office a to- tai of 1900 lock boxes.
 The interior has been enlarged by taking out the ante-room leading in- to the postmaster's office. This gives more working space, and makes the handling of the mail much easier. All the interior has been restained and in addition to the added features of conveniences the office now pre- sents a more attractive appearance. An additional electric light of large candle power has been placed in front over the main entrance, and another on the southeast corner. These add much to the illumination of that part of the street.

MRS. MeLEAY ENTERTAINED
 METHODIST BIBLE GLASSES

A most enjoyable affair was that when MT. and Mrs. J. A. McLeay en- tertained the two Bible classes of the Methodist Episcopal church on Wednesday evening of last week, April 25. The business session was enlivened by the termination of the evening with most enjoyable social function. The business session was the hearing of reports of the officers and the election of those to direct the Classes in the future. The fol- lowing were elected: Mrs. J. B. Kline, president; Mrs. J. A. McLeay. vice president; MT. Cromb, Tuesday night teacher; MT. Harrison, Sunday teacher of the Mizpah class; Miss Lethian Miller, secretary.
 Fifty-two members of the Bible classes were guests of MT. and Mrs. McLeay on this occasion, and the evening was most enjoyably spent in pleasant conversation and different parlor games MT. A. A. Anderson captured the first prize for being the most proficient in carrying peanut on the point of knife.
 The hostess, who was ably assisted by Mesdames w. c. Bliestein, Harris on, Sturgeon, MT. and Mrs. Cromb, served delicious ice cream and cake to her guests, who enjoyed the even- ing to the fullest extent, and each voted Mrs. McLeay a most delightful hostess. j. /

Yesterday afternoon the Clifton Wo- mans Club held their annual guests' meeting at the auditorium. This was the last meeting of the heated term. at which the reports of the delegateo to the State Federation of Woman'o Clubs which was held in March in the city of Phoenix, was made to the club. The report on resolutions pass. ed at the Federation was made by Mrs. Chas. Hyde of Morenci. Mes- danes Terrell and Albrecht rendered the club a full report of the state meeting, while Mrs. B. L.. Gay, of Met calf, gave an interesting talk on Camp Kearney.
 The Club members and guests were entertained by musical selections from Mrs. J. A. Davis and Miss Tus. chock. The vocal solo of Mrs. Davis which was most sweetly sang was heartily encored. while the piano solo of Miss Tuschock was just as highly appreciated. But the number that was the hit of the occasion was the toe dance by little Miss Helen Anna Cook.
 Besides being the last meeting till after the heated term, the new off, l tcers were inducted into their respec- IiNS OluCSS. MTS T OOIe, tue IoClEIu8 president, gave a character sketch of the events along the "line during the past year while she was piloting the. club with the able assistance of Con ductor Irvine" The sketch of the retiring president was interrupted at intervals by hearty applause, after which she introduced the new presi- dent, Mrs. R. K. Minson, whose 'fn- augural" address was most appropri- ate, and along the same lines of the one preceding. Mrs. Minson then took charge of the meeting, bringing 1 it to close with the announcement that the next meeting would be held | in October, the date to be announced later. Mrs. Minson made the further announcement of the meeting of Civic Section of the Woman's Club which will meet with Mrs. J. E.

GREENLEE COUNTY
 GOES OVER THE TOP

The Liberty Loan campaign comes to a close this afternoon, but the enthusiasm is still strong for the suc- cess of the drive. This county has demonstrated it's thorough American ism by the spontaneous manner in which it has responded to the coun- try's call Every district in the county has made good it's quota, some over-subscribing, while Clifton and Morenci rolled up amounts consider ably double that which was allotted to them. The subscriptions from Met calf, while not showing on the re- turns quite the amount allotted to that section, yet in truth they should be entitled to some credits that probably are placed to Clifton, as many of the A. c. employees there have subscribed, and it is possible these are credited to Clifton. It is safe to say that a sufficient number thus subscribed to make good their quota.
 Clifton comes under the wire first, however, with Morenci close second. The amount subscribed is over half a million dollars, and others whose subscriptions will be checked up this afternoon will place Greenlee consid- erably above teh half million mark.

 The remains of deceased were brought into Clifton Tuesday evening and turned over to Undertaken Pas COG, who prepared them for burial .. Interment was had at the Masonic cemetery Wednesday evening, be- side those of his deceased wife.
 Monday night after the tragedy, Judge Lally empanelled a jury and held the inquest upon the body of O. Neal, and his verdict was to the ef- feet that he came to his death from pistol wounds inflicted by George Hill.
 Besides Wm. O'Neal another broth CT, Charles, who was also guard at the convict camp, and who quit about the same time that deceased left, had returned to Texas, and was there at the time that Bob O'Neal met his death. The father and brother were notified of the tragedy, but could not reach here in time for the funeral. i Deceased was in Clifton Monday afternoon, and was seen by a repor. ter, with whom he conversed for some time. Nothing was indicated in this conversation of expectant trou ble, but he seemed pleased with the new job just given him, the duties oi which he stated he would take up the first of May. The name of his slay CT was not mentioned, and if he anti cipated any trouble with Deputy Hill or any other person, no evidence was manifested during said interview. He left town about or 4:30 for New Town. His demeanor was most pleas

Improvements in Store Building
 Garcia & Norte are having some i'm provements made in their store building that will materially add to the appearance of their place of busi- ness, as we'll as provide considerable more floor space.

The gallery is already in the front and back, and the sides are all that is necessary to complete the circle. Here will be placed goods for which there are not sufficient room on the first floor and by the new arrange ment their customers can inspect the goods on the second floor as readily as on the first floor.
