District Wants Million
And now the Warren District is
aiming at $1.00O,00O before it will be
/ satisfied with the hand it is lending
/ the government. With the close OF
! figures last night the total subscrip-
tions had amounted to $912,60O. The
/ quota assigned the district is $3.50, 900.
I Pledges to date are better than S162,-
/ COO more than the government re-
quested as a minimum. But there was
no maximum named, and the govern
ment has asked for all oversubscrip-
/ tions possible to attain. For this Tea-
I son those in charge Of the districts
sales will not be satisfied until they
have boosted their total TO at least
( the million mark.
Ia the county, the government had
assigned as maximum to be sold
/ 81 300, 600 Already. with totals from
only Bisbee, Douglas and one or two
( small districts reported. this figure
! $250,000, and the total has mounted
to $1.6S5,35O.
Worth While Celebration
/ So the district has something really
worthy of the celebration which has
( been planned for today. While it is
( local celebration insofar as it APP
/ plies to those taking part it is a
countrywide demonstration and jol-
/ LITIGATION over success in its deeper
and real significance.
The districts holiday and celebra-
/ ton will begin with the noon hour,
when work will be cast aside for the
/ day in business houses and offices and
everyone will prepare to take part
5 in the patriotic programs which have
been prepared and which will con-
I tinue throughout the afternoon. For
/ the benefit of miners, the program has
/ been made into two distinctive and
separate programs. The one will occur
during the first hours of the afternoon,
and it is for the special benefit Of
men on the night shifts. The second
will begin during the closing hours
of the afternoon, and will draw into
! its nets the men of the day shifts.
/ Every resident of the district will be
expected to take his or her part il
making the occasion a success.
The first part of the afternoons
celebration will begin at l o'clock
when a parade in which a company
of the 35th infantry, boy scouts, camp
I fire girls, children from the Loretta,
PITY schools and high schools, the
mayor and city officials and citizens
will participate, will form at the Doyle
House and march to the city plaza.
At the plaza, beginning at 2 o'clock

success of the district in its patri-
otto task.
The second half of the afternoons
demonstration will open at 4:30

4 of the University of Arizona, when
I j. n. Gaines, chairman of the Liberty
/ loan committee will hoist to the top
of the park fiagpole, the Warren Dis
! trict's honor flag.
I Business houses yesterday we're dis
I playing the legend that they will clos
their doors this afternoon for the cele-
bration. Among the first to make an
nOuncement of the recognition of the
holiday we're the banks of Bisbee and
/ Lowell. Later shops and stores O..
/ every description hung cards in their
windows indicating that they will
assist in making the day a success
and in booming out to the world the
{ fact that this district has done its
share and then added another s1a-f
out of pure patriotism. Bisbee. Low
ell and Warren will quit business cnl
join in the glad demonstration ove~
successful elimination Of another war
task.
