TWO TEMPE WOMEN
CALLED BY DEATH

TEMPE. Nov. 19.-The community is
greatly saddened by the loss of two of
its well known and popular women.
Both We're III the early thirties and both
were victims of influenza.
Mrs. C. L. Walmsley died at the emer-
gency hospital, Sunday night at $3.50
o'clock of pneumonia and other compll-
cations following influenza. Her three
children are i'll of the disease in the
hospital having been taken down at the
same time their mother was.
Funeral arrangements cannot be
made until relatives in the east are
heard from.
Mrs. Walmsley was a delightful wo-
man, loved by all who knew her and
full of the zest of life. The sympathy
of all is with the grief stricken husband
and children.
Mrs Elihu Rowand passed away at
1870 o'clock Monday morning. She is
survived by her husband and son Ed
ward, aged s. The funeral arrange
ments viii be made following word
from her people in Missouri
Mrs. Rowand had been a great suf-
ferer for many years, being helpless and
confined to her bed much of the time.
Last September, however, she began to
improve and her friends hoped for her
eventual recovery. Her patience and
great fortitude in all her trials and her
lovabe disposition won her many
friends who sympathize with the hus-
band and son in this bereavement.

that time had been behind are Yuma,
Santa Cruz, Pima, Mohave.
Two counties which have not yet
made their minimum quotas are
Apache, Coconino, Graham and Navajo.
Tagging Districts Husting
There are several tagging districts
in Maricopa county which will have
to hustle to get over even the mini
mum top. However, some of those dis
tricts came in strong last evening and
it is hoped to have a record of 100 per
cent accomplishment for the county
when all returns are in.
No county in the state has had a
heavier handicap than this in the way
of influenza. Because of size and pop
ulation a concerted action was needed
to put this agricultural community
over the top and with influenza on
every hand the battle against odds was
really a tremendous one Perfect or
ganization alone accomplished the re-
suit gained.
Dwight B. Heard was much gratified
yesterday at securing the twentieth
member of the 800 OF. More" club
One members subscription had been
conditional on securing nineteen other
members of the club, and the nine
teenth was secured yesterday which
made it possible to secure the tWen-
tieth.

: JUNK DRIVE" To Be
THE NEXT CAMPAIGN

Rather indefinite instructions have
reached the state council of defense
from Washington, announcing a new
drive. This time it is to be a con-
certed effort TO collect old paper cot
ton, wooden rags, scrap metals and
rubber. November 20 is the approx
mate date set for the commencement
of the campaign.
The indefinite part OF the PROPOSE
ton is the fact that, beyond the ap-
pointment of n committee of ten by
the mayor of every city of more than
5000 people, no plan has been sug-
gested for the disposition of the ma =
terial gathered. Nor has the purpose
of the drive been explained.
The mayors of all 5,O00-cities in the
state have been advised of the move
ment, each one of them being re-
quested to appoint a committee in
charge to represent the leading or
CARNATIONS of the country, such as
the Y. NJ. c. A., Red Cross, Federation
of Labor. Council of Defense. Jewish
Welfare board and women's clubs
and other public spirited bodies. 1t
is understood that more elucidation
of the idea will be forthcoming by
telegraph within a few days.
