Last Saturday afternoon the Delta
Snip and Gun club. composed OF lit
tie girls ten and twelve years of age,
who want to do their bit for their
country, met at the home OF Leemilda
McAllister to make gun wipers and
ships for the Red Cross society. This
was the fourth meeting OF this little
club with 9 enrolled. who completed
total of 1898 gun wipes and quite
an amount of snips. This work is
done almost entirely with scissors,
and therefore, is work that is not too
difficult for the tiny fingers The
snips are small bits Of outing flannel
cut very fine and used for filling pill
lows for the soldiers. The gun wip-
ers are also made of outing flannel,
cut in two-inch squares. While this
may appear insignificant, 1t is a very
necessary work and gives the older
hands and heads more time for work
which these little folks cannot do
The club meets each Saturday after
noon at the home of member and
will be glad to enroll new workers.
Anyone interested, inquire Of Hazel
Dalton. who will be glad to give any
information requested

K. OF c. WAR FUND.
The Nogales Council Is Starting Big
 Drive for Money.

The Nogales Council of the
 Knights of Columbus is starting
 drive for the purpose of rais-
 ing funds for war purposes of
 that organization and while their appeal will be principally to
 Catholics there is no reason why non Catholics and those of other denominations should not con-
 tribute to this fund should they
 be so inclined. A quota of $65O was assig aed to the Nogales Knights of Columbus as their contribution to the War Fund. the full amount of which has already been forwarded, al though it was necessary to bor- row money to be able 10 do so. The present drive is for the pur- pose of paying back money loaned and to increase the Mo- gales contribution, if possible, says the Herald.
 This war is not one of either political or religious affiliations, but a war of all the people for all the people. That the Catho- lies have not been remiSS in their duties as American citizens is borne out by the fact that 40 per cent of our National Army is composed of Catholics and this out of a Is per cent popula- tion of our country. The Noga- les Council Knights of Columbu has contributed fifteen of it's members to the army up to this date and all of it's members have contributed freely and generous ly to Y. M. c. A, Red Cross, Liberty Loans and other popu- lar war subscriptions.
 The Y. M. c. A. required and has raised, through the genero- sity of the American people $35,- GOO, ,OOO for the prosecution of their war activities. The Knights of Columbus propose-and have approximately completed-a war fund of only $5.OOO.O0O with which they expect to do much more than their proportionate amount of work among the sol diers through the fact that and secretaries are mostly volunteers, drawing no pay whatsoever.
 In regard to the work proposed and being done at our army camps and lover there" this is as broad in its scope as that of Y. M. c. A. or any other organization engaged in camp activities and is not dedicated alone to the men of Catholic faith.

"SOME FISH,"
Frolic Arrives at Port of GuaYmas
 With Two Tons and Halt

Monday night A. M. Conard, president of the Sonora Con solidated Mining 6 Smelling Company, accompanied by Fred Afford, mine superintendent, and Mir. Grant Mills, we'll known capitalist from Tillamook, Oregon, returned from ten days visit in the south country, which included a fishing excur- sion to the historic Tiburon Island, near Guaymas, the bay city.
 The delightful sail from Guay- mas to the Island and return, was made on the Frolic," for merly a famous pleasure boat of Portland, Oregon, now owned by the Pacific Coast Fishing and Canning Company, of which MT. Conard is president.
 The gentlemen report having had glorius time, not with standing the fact that Com modore" Conard got sea sick. and Admiral Mills failed to bag big buck deer.
 After being out a couple of days, the 'Frolic" returned to Guaymas bringing with her two and one half tons of fine fish, several of which measured seven and one half feet. In order to convince doubting Toms, at home, ''Admiral'' Mills had ''Commodore" Conard of the good ship 'Frolic,'' take a number of pictures of the enor- nous catch, which in the language of "Admiral'' Mills, was some fish.
 When in Guaymas, the Conard party stopped at Hotel Albin, where they were royalty enter tained by Mine Host Willoughby, the Irish consul at the bay city. Consul Willoughby took his guests to a grand ball. where they were shown every courtesy by the civil and military author ities, who made them feel at home.
 On the return trip to the States. the fishermen stopped several days at the ranch home of Mir. and Mrs. I. B. Bowers, near Noria, where they inspect ed big tract of land iu which they are interested. They also visited the camp of the Sonora Consolidated Minin g & Smelling Company, where Superintendent Afford is arranging to resume operations in the Cobre Grande mine.
 Tuesday afternoon Messrs. Conard and Mills departed for Los Angeles, from where the latter gentleman will go to his home in Oregon. He promised to return next June, at which time he intends to take another shot at that Tiburon buck, or one like him.
 MT. Conard, who now resides in Los Angeles, will return to Noria in about ten days
