Only 90 Per Cent Of Mini mum Quota Raised; State
 Also Behind Despite Re port From New York

In spite of the wire from New York hcadguarters of the United War Work campaign that Arizona had surpassed it's quota official figures at state head quarters showed last night but $283, 437 subscribed out of a minimum quota Of s306, 900, while Maricopa county has so far raised but 90 per cent of its mini mum quota
 The New York figures may have in cIuded corporation allotments made to this state which, most of the great cop per companies being owned in the east, might receive publicity first in New York. The state will undou btedly re- ceive generous aid in raising it's quota from this source. but aside from the Standard OFs donation in Maricopa county, no figures for gifts from the big corporations are yet announced by state headquarters.
 The minimum quota of Arizona is s3O6. 900, and the state is actually asked to raise $459,000. All talk of go- ing over the top has. of course, to do with passing the smaller figure, for it is absolutely certain that Arizona is nowhere near having raised the larger amount mentioned. It is to raise the maximum asked Arizona is now striv- ing.
 Honor Hut Prospects Good
 It seems certain that Arizona will have one honor hut at the fartherest point gained by the American army, probably along the Rhine in Germany named after it. It is probably among the first II states to pass the minimum duota. but to gain further honor hut it must Dc among the II states to pass it's minimum quota the fartherest. 1t is the hope of the state committee to win both honors and to have Doc John H. Clifford, former Tucson pastor and now "Y" overseas workers, in charge of an honor hut named "Ari Zona'' which will be allotted to the ma rine corps to which he is accredited.
 The fourt counties fartherest passing their quotas will have honor trucks named after them. Up to date, the four counties leading in this contest are Pinal. Greenlee. Yavapai and Gila. Co., chise is just behind Gila, and Maricopa is 10 per cent behind Cochise. Mari copa will have to make a big squirt to get in among the four top ones, for it is a poor sixth Just now.
 County Situation is Serious
 Maricopa is battling the heaviest odds of. perhaps, any county, in the state. Many of the counties have passed the crest os their epidemic of influenza but during this drive Maricopa is in the midst of the epidemic, and workers are ill on every hand. It. is only by extra hard work that the county is Keeping up at all. The whole South side is frightfully handicapped by the disease. and the Southside is one of the banner patriotic sections of the county.
 State employees at the state house are setting splendid example. They have adopted basis of three days pay for their minimum gift. many go- ing much stronger than that. By this splendid example the state house has already raised over $500 through the committee, consisting of A. A. Retts, Jesse Royce and Con P Cronin.
 The Maricopa Creamery has made a slendid record, having subscribed as an institution for $20O and the em- ployes themselves have organized made 100 per cent American roll with every cmployc on the list The employees have raised S265 making
