CALL VOLUNTEERS IF REJECTED MEN
MEN OF DRAFT AGE WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED FOR MINOR DEFECTS CALLED INTO SER. VICE OF ARMY EQUIPMENT.

The opportunity is now open for en- listments in the service of the coun- try. If you can't fight you can work. While this call is just to the men ex- cused from the draft on account of minor physical defects, yet the way is perfectly clear for enlistments in the service up to 45 years of age if physically able, or for special ser vice if not physically fit for fighting. Don't shield yourself that you are beyond the draft age. Thousands up near the limit have volunteered, and there is room for other thousands who are past the draft age of thirty one years, though physically better men than they were at 25. If you are patriotic, get in while the time is ripe. You will be an honored vet eran when other slackers may be forced into the service.
 Two hundred thousand men of draft age, who, because of minor physical defects have been held by examining surgeons over the country for limited military service, are to be employed in producing or hand ling equipment for the army. Provost Marshal General Crowder announced Thursday that the army staff corps will utilize the service of these reg istrants and thus release fighting men for the front lines.
 General Crowder then issued the first call under the new plan. Orders went forth to governors of states for upwards of 5000 men for service in spruce production for airplanes. The men will be allowed to volunteer until next June 6. After that date a re- port will be made to the provost mar shal general, and if there are not sufficient volunteers, allotments will be made to the various states to be filled by voluntary indictment.
 Some 10000 men of the army now are engaged in getting out spruce timber in the northwest and the sig nal corps constantly is increasing this number. Consequently the send ing of the new men to this field will constitute no new policy.
 Twenty-four Trades Needed.
 Some twenty-four trades or classes, including railroad, transport and con- struction men, office workers and la borers, are desired for the spruce di- vision. When this division has been filled, men will be called to fill other staff services of the army until the 200, ,000 total has been exhausted No indication was given as to when the other calls will be made.
 In a statement increasing the new plan, General Crowder said the solu- tion of the question of what to do with these men had been one of the great problems of the draft Some

The open letter of Norman Carmichael, general manager of the Arizona Copper Con- pany, Ltd, appearing in the Copper Era last week, addressed to Geo. w. P. Hunt, Cover nor, has been copied by the press through out the state The law abiding citizens of Greenlee county will support MT. Carmichael in every statement describing the conditions which prevailed in this county for four months during the first strike. The Era, en- phatically, is not believer in mob law, under any guise, no matter how great the provoca- ton may be- or who the leaders may be. The law must prevail and in the end right will prevail The open letter of Norman Carmich- ael is comparison of two incidents which have occurred in this state within the past three years, which we hope will never occur again, and the main point made is the acquie- sence of Governor Hunt in the first instance and his violent denunciation of the latter oc. currence.

succoR THE HOME GUARD.

In commenting upon the proposition to preserve all confscated liquor for the Red Cross to be used on the battle fields and in the hospitals, the editor of the Prescott Courier endorses the plan, and quotes Kng Solomon to back him up that the proposition is good one. Here is what he says
 ''It is stated that Judge Sweeney has received a communication from Attorney Gen eral Wiley B. Jones, that a court order hold all confscated liquors until further notice, plan being on foot to turn it over to the Red Cross use instead of destroying it. King Solo, mon said: ''Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts, Many man has had his life saved by whiskey and many others hate to do without the life saver. These goods, in the hands of the Red Cross, can be made to do lots of good And we also favor home relief as we'll as relief on the battle field The rattlesnake season is now on, not forgetting the reptile press.

Cash Captures Convict

A negro life termer convict es- caped from the state road camp last Sunday night. He was seen going south Monday morning, and captain of the guards James Cash left Mon day morning to overhaul the escaped convict. MT. w. J. Bills, who was also passenger on Monday mornings train, watched one side of the train while MT. Cash watched the other. When reaching Sheldon the negro walked right up to MT. Cash when he was attempting to board the train. The negro was brought back to camp Monday evening, and placed in con- f1nement. He was some time ago made trusty, but concluded the at mosphere at the camps was not to his liking, and walked away. When arrested the convict had about $40 in money on his person.

Arizona is sixth in the list of her sister states in the war saving securities. The baby County of Greenlee ranks third in the state. But other counties are not fortunate enough to have two such patriotic towns as Clifton and Morenci. The sky is the limit in patriot ism with these two towns. Greenlee's allot- ment is $377 ,880, and she has already sold over one third of the allotment, or $101 626. Nearly two-thirds are to be raised and the people can prepare means for raising this amount This year is nearly half gone, and work cannot be started too soon to complete this fund.

Allan B. Haynes of the Tucson Citizen, is indeed fortunate. Two damage suits against himself and his paper aggregating damages to the amount of $1O0,OOO have been filed in the space of few months. Many publishers have labored for a life time and never been fortunate. Verify some have honors thrust upon them After Governor Hunt filed his suit for damages and criminal libel, now comes Harry Mccullough, former captain of the guards at the state convict camp near Clifton who claims that an editorial in the Citizen alleging that he member of the I. w w. in good standing has damaged his reputation to the extent of $5OOOO Wouldn't that bob your cork?

This special session of the legislature seems to have been called to debate and take stand for or against the I. w. w. instead of to merely consider war measures. And, by all the gods of war and freedom while Hunt called these legislators, he does not, seem to be able to lead them far enough to take stand in favor of these enemies of all gov ernments whatever.

Director General McAdoo's appeal to the railroad shopmen of the country to remain loy- al and patriotic, in the face of threatened strike by this craft is one of the best state papers issued by any national official during the present crisis. The Director General goes further, however, after appealing to the shop men, and reminds them in no uncertain terms that they are now employees of the Govern ment, and the Government does not propose to be coerced by any class of its employees at time when all citizens employees and of ficials are straining every nerve and exerting every effort to save the Government and pre- serve liberty.

It is not only sign of bad citizenship and viciousness and ignorance to the Red Cross these days in America, but it is dangerous as we'll. A man in Flint, Michi- gan, cursed this organization the other day and refused to subscribe cent to its work and aims, and he was ducked in pond and then painted yellow and led through the streets and chained to post in the public square while the Red Cross held meeting nearby.

We hate to find ourself in the
wrong, but when anybody shows US
the proof. we are always ready to
make correction. We find that our
assertion yesterday that Egyptian
otton wasn't being shipped to Amer
lea was an error. Eighty thousand
bales of the staple have been ordered,
of which about sixty thousand have
been received. Almost anybody will
agree with US. however, in saying we
should be right. When we consider the
well known fact that there are not
enough ships to carry men and sup
plies across the Atlantic, that it takes
ten or twelve big ships to carry sixty
thousand bales of cotton, that there is
yet unused cotton of last years crop
in the country, and new crop COM
ing in, it must occur to anyone that
there is a very large and able-bodied
colored person in the woodpile.

Ocala banks having agreed to take
over the mortgage on the property Of
the Marion County Fair and Agrieul-
tural Association the organization has
been placed on new and more sub
stantial basis, charter obtained and
everything arranged to secure the
continuance of the fair The associa-
ton is strictly corporation not for
profit and the fairs will continue to
be in the interest of the growers and
farmers and industrial development
of Marion and adjacent counties of
Florida-Times- Union Short Talks.
This is good sentiment, Short Talks,
but not altogether reliable Informal
ton. The banks have not taken over
the mortgage, for the simple reason
that there isn't any mortgage. The
facts are that for several years the
fair association had been in debt and
the banks, with great public spirit,
enabled it to carry the debt A few
months ago, bunch of our most pub
Ilic-spirited citizens started out to
raise by popular subscription money
enough to pay off the mortgage. This
was done, the banks contributing lib
orally to the fund. So the mortgage is
now paid off. and the fair property
belongs to the people of the county,
who will probably make this autumn's
fair the most successful of the series.
