MONEY ORDERS ARE
AS GOOD As CASH

How TO send money to a soldier
in France in case Of need, has
puzzled many parents and relatives
of members of the American eXpe-
dictionary force There are several
ways, but d certain and easy one
is 10 use United States postal money
orders. They can be cashed readily
and easily by any payee. Here is
the way to do it, according TO an
official statement by Postmaster W.

Money orders issued in the
United States payable to members
of the American eXpeditionary
forces are made ont on domestic
forms precisely the same as if they
were drawn on offices in this coUn-

vice without indicating the name
Of any postofflce abroad.
THE orders are, Of course. de-
livered to the remitters to be mailed
by them to the payee precisely the
same as any other mail would be
addressed. 1t is necessary, how
ever, in any such case that the re-

company, regiment, and branch of

There are many branches Of the

explained, however, that the postal

BIG LYMAN DAM
 DISAPPOINTS ST. JOHNS
CFrom Thursdays DaiIy.l

Judge George H. Crosby, of St Johns. reports that Apache county is prosperous but not wholly happy They have a beautiful new court house of which they are very proud but the Lyman irrigation project is still unfinished.
 We had hoped to have our dam completed this Spring." said Judge Crosby. The front wall and the back wall are finished. The engin- eers planned to fill the body of the dam with soil carried from back of the dams by d suction drcdgc. The dirt is carried by pipes with water and pumped into the dam where it is deposited. Unfortunately, the soil near the project was heavy clay and would not mix readily with water.
 We hope to have the dam com pletcd before the end of this year. This will bring under cultivation by next year several thousand acres of extremely rich land that lies in the immediate vicinity of St. Johns. Our county will then be really prosper ous."
 Judge Crosby was presiding in the Superior court yesterday in place of Judge Sweeney of Yavapai county He returned to St. Johns yesterday.

DEATH CALL IS
 ANSWERED BY c. A. BRAY
CFrom Fridays Daily)

The community of Prescott was quite shocked yesterday when the wires flashed the sorrowful news ot the death of Mir Gorham Atwood Bray. ono of the pioneers of the mcr- cantile community of Prescott.
 He was born in Cape Cod, Mass, during the month of February, 1S47, and died in Los Angeles April Is, at the age of 7l years. He came to Prescott in 1876, where he immc- diatcly engaged in business which had been conducted some little time pre- vious to his coming by his cousin, Thomas Bray. Except for resi- dence of several years in Flagstaff he resided continuously in Prescott, re- turning from the Skylight City dur ing 1894, at which time he became identified with the Bashford-Bur- mister Company as a shareholder and director, which latter official position together with that of secretary of the company, he retained until his demise.
 He served as a member of the ter ritorial legislature and city council, was very active as volunteer hrc- man, being member of the hrst hook and ladder company organized in Prescott. and afterwards joined the Dude hose company. He was also a member of the Prescott Rifles and quite active in all matters pertaining to civic and public affairs.
 He leaves behind him to mourn his loss his widow and vast circle of friends and acquaintances, for dur ing his term of residence in Prescott he became very popular owing to his and courtesy extended to all with whom he came in contact.
 The obsequies will be held at Los Angeles next Saturday morning at HOO o'clock, and as a token of re- spect to his memory, the Bashford- Burmister Company's place of busi- ness will be closed between Hoo and 1900 o'clock on that date.

SANTA F URGES

GEN ERAL MANAGER OF LOCAL BRANCH ADDRESS ES COMMUNICATION TO MEN ASKING THAT THEY COME TO AID OF U. s.
(From Thursdays Daily0

The Santa Fc, Prescott & Phoenix railroad is urging employees to sub scribe for Liberty Bonds. The fol- lowing letter which has been sent to all employees by w. \. Drake, gen. eral manager, should set an example for many employers to follow in this work:
 "A great drive to secure subscrip- tionS to the Third Liberty Loan has been ordered by the director general, who now controls all the railroads of the United States. It is recognized that we, the workers who cannot go to the front and stand mp and be shot at. must make some form of sacrifice. believe the most of us are willing to make it.
 We are asked and urged to loan to thc' government of the United States a part of our earnings. The railway company has provided way by which our subscriptions may be spread over a period of ten months. We may subscribe for the purchase of Liberty Bonds in an amount which we think we can stand for. The treasurer, on our order, will hold out from our pay checks, for ten consecu- tive months, onc-tenth of our sub scriptions, and, at the end of that time. he will deliver the bond, or we may elect to pay all at one time if preferable. Arrangements can also we made to protect us against neccs- sary emergency failures on our part. Personally. I ask you to do your best. Try and make a record for the $. F. P. & r. lines. Ii won't hurt you. Some one has said: Loan until 1t hurts \ loan to the government in thiS case nets you more money than a loan to any savings bank in the country. and, more than that, you are helping to buy supplies. ammunition, guns, airplancs and ships to back up your neighbors, your brothers and sons who went across the water to U9HI VOLT Wal. I dlil iAOAit our employees men who will sec you personally and give you needed in formation as to how to proceed in this matter. Those who cannot be reached by the committee are re- qucsted to write to II. C. Storey, superintendent. who will advise them.
 The following-named men are hereby appointed committee to han dle this matter to conclusion. II. w. McKcan and s. D. Hoover. for trainmcn: II. W.

gun was received and was being used for demonstration purposes.
 As to feeding and housing. Cap tain Mitchell stated that the govern mcnt had left nothing 10 be desired. The barracks were roomy and well ventilated and the food far above the average. lie said:
 "lu my own company. we have beet able to set a VcrA satisfactory table on the ration allowance. This k +u cents per man per day. In addition, the company mess has been able to save considerable sum that will help in keeping mp good table when emergency conditions are encoun- tered.
 "lt is worthy of note." Captain Nit chcll added. that the mems mess k usually better than what the officers get. The officers have an allowance of Sl per day but their number IS so much less that the money cannot be spent to the same advantage.
 Praise For Red Cross
 Captain Mitchell waved enthusiastic over the work of the Red Cross. He told how thoroughly the men apprc- ciated the spirit that prompted tho ladies of the country to meet them at stations and supply sorely needed coffee and cigarettes and post cards already stamped.
 This same thoughtfulness, he added. has followed the men and helped 10 better conditions in camp. Each man at Camp Lewis now has q woolen sweater and two pairs oi wooden socks. These were very wei come additions to the soldiers ward robe during the winter and spring months in the Northwest"
 Tn commenting further on the Red Cross. Captain Mitchell stated that each company and quartcrmaster had been officially notified that he was 10 handle Red Cross goods just as he did government supplies. This mean. that the officers have the same official responsibility for the safckceping of this property and will be held ac- countable for its proper distribution as for any other government material.

ment for his savings and for his sur plus iunds. This IS the time, above all others since the war began. when the government IS needing liberal re- turns from the sale of Liberty Bonds, and 1t is a time when no adult per son who desires the safety of the nation and the safety of his own in- terests should refuse to purchase Liberty Bo-ds on any ground save that oi absolute inability to do so.

NAVAJO INDIAN SETS
 PACE FOR PALE FACE
(From Wednesdays DaiiyO

Patriotism of an exceptional na- turc and which the pale face race could well pattern after, was that circumstance mentioned yesterday by Paul C. Wainwright, in which figures an Indian of the Navajo tribe who has subscribed for a S5,0O0 Liberty Bond
 Mir. Wainwright, who is a commer- cial traveller of Kansas City, vouches for the accuracy of the incident. whereby this red man of over S5 years of age, freely subscribed the above sum and waived the right of interest. His name is Po-chet-ike, and many years ago he was a chief tain of a branch of Navajos, accumu- lating large amount of personal property, mainly iii sheep and other livestock. The Indian made his de- sires known to Washington, and stated he had plenty of money de- posted at Albuquerque, and his wish to place the above sum in action foS the war will in all probability be re- spected under the conditions he stipu- lates. This Indian has two sons at a Carlisle, Penn, educational institu- ton. He stated that in ten years or so they will be heap know what this sum of money means. He also stated that the Great White Father is now clinching with black devil, who must be overpowered and des- trOyed.
 Mir Wainwright after visiting a Sub-agency on the Navajo reserve was what knowledge these In- diaus have of doings of the day, and particularly of the financial responSi- bility facing the nation. It is his be- lief that from the bond campaign now on a huge sum will be realized by subscriptions from these Indians. who are the wealthieSt in the nation.

 Of the 11,627 registrants remaining and available for service, only 4.Oo9 of them are placed in Class l.
 The provost marshal general has recently instructed the office of ad- iutant general in Arizona to inspect the records of the classihcations IF those counties because he has stated that the number classified in Class l is far below the average of other States.
 The average for the State of the ten counties thus far classified IS s per cent in Class l.
 Coconino county has the highest per cent Of those classified in Class !, which is 54 per cent. The lowest IS Graham county with 20 per cent. Co- chise. Graham and Pinal counties arc far below the average for the State of those in Class ].

CARLSON P|NCHES WOBBLIES AT
 COTTONWOOD
2 MEN WHO HAVE BEEN
 SPREADING PACIFIST
 PROPAGANDA IN VAL
 LEY ARRESTED BY DEP UTY U. s. MARSHAL.

JEROME, April 17.-Charged with , spreading propaganda calculated to obstruct the sclcctivc draft and dis courage the purchase of Liberty Bonds. Robert Lee Morton, candi- date for congressman on the social isl ticket in l9l6. and w. F. Burlison, ' who claims to be a distant relative of Postmaster General A. s. Burle- son. were arrested at Cottonwood by Deputy U. s. Marshal Harry Carl son and Deputy Sheriff Frank Bart lett Both carried I. w. w. cards. :.
 One-.3S caliber Winchester rifle, two boxes ol cartridges, about eighty dynamite caps and a quantity of I. w. w. literature were confscated by the officers.
 The moSt damaging bit of evidence found, among their effects was a book containing various violently worded paciiist arguments against war Morton admitted that he had been passing it around from hand to hand but claimed that he had not shown it to any man liable to the selcctive draft He seemed to have overlooked the fact that Uncle Sam is. still recruiting unregistered men of military age
 Morton and Burlison were found in the house where they had been living and holding socialistic meetings for several months. It is said that they had announced that they would barri- cade themselves in and fight to the death ii any officer attempted to in- terfcre with them. They offered no resistance to Carlson and Bartlett. however.
 Apparently Morton and Burlison subscribed to all the radical publica-. tions of the country for copies of The Industrial Worker" and half a dozen more papers of the same cali Der were strcwn around their quar- ters. Among their l. w. W. pamph- lets was one written by Jew entitled The Life and Deeds of Uncle Sam," which argues that America has not the best but the worst government ever designed by man. Another is entitled "The Advancing Prolctar- ian:" one is "Prolctarian and Petit Bourgeois" and still another is "Thc General Strike" bv William D. Hay wood. Some of these and the anti militaristic book were taken to Phoe- uix by |. s. Commissioner C. H. Rutherford for submission to |. s. District Attorney T. A. Flynn.
 When Carlson asked Burlison if he was any relation to the postmaster general he replied We are the same breed of dogs"
 The arrest of Morton and Burlison followed several months of investiga- ton on the part of Carlson. He was directed some time ago by the federal authorities to keep his eye on the wobbly hotbed at Cottonwood, par ticularly on Morton and Burlison. When he learned that Burlison had been announcing his intention to stump the country after the war and advocate the repudiation of Liberty Bonds the officer decided to proceed at once. Burlison denies that he has done anything to discourage the pur- chase of bonds.
