men last June, and 90 men last August
 On September F last when the old CT men and boys IS years old regis tered, the total was 10,776 men.
 The board has been open almost every Sunday and almost every night It was due largely to the generous aid given the board by volunteer workers that the board was able to do it's work on schedule time said MT. Weyant
 The board consists of Sheriff w. H. Milky, chairman; Dr. A. B. Nichols A. L. Moore and MT. Weyant. Working in conjunction with the local board is the legal advisory board under Judge R. c. Stanford as chairman, and the medical advisory board, working under the direction of Dr. w. w. Watkins as chairman.
 Faithful Service
 The physicians of the county have been faithful to the cause through their volunteer assistance in eXamin ing the thousands of men who have passed through their hands in the gov ernment's efforts to get physically fit men for the service.
 The attorneys also have been of in estimable and loyal service to the cause in the matter of advice to regis trants, free of charge, and their volun- teer service in assisting resistrants in filling in their questionaires.
 Behind it all stands the district board. where all appeal cases have been taken from the several local boards in this district and where in dustrial and agricultural claims of eX- emption were passed upon.
 Not Pleasant Task
 This task has not been a pleasant one It has required the wisdom of a Soloman. This boards position has not always been one to be enVied, and if the records of the district board could be consulted they would tell of many a tear and word of resent ment from men or their families who felt that they should not have been sent away. But cold justice prevailed there.
 The local boards appeared to many to be severe enough. But both the district board and the local boards were under orders and they could act only as the government directed, and those directions were always toward war and ultimate victory. Sentiment had no business before any of these boards and was always ruled out as an imposter.
 The district board here is presided over by Captain J. L. B. Alexander as chairman. veteran of the Spanish American war, a successful and honest attorney He was assisted as members of the district board by Louis s. Gates, Lin Orme, George |. Young, Bert Davis, Elmer W. Coker and C. F. Ad- l dams, all men of sterling qualities and ] loyalty

Democratic Campaign Man agers Concede Golfers Defeat for Governor As Last Returns Ended Hope

All claims adverse to the title of Thomas F. Campbell to the governor ship of Arizona on and after January 6, next, were totally eXtinguished yes terday morning. There was never, after last Wednesday. any material for them to feed upon, but they kept flick ering. After Thursday night they burst out now and then. but each time weak CT than before On Saturday night the democrats considered among them selves the advisability of making a clean breast of it, and the next day none could be found to say be believed there was a chance for Colter.
 The democratic managers had in vestiSated the figures put out by the republican committee and found them correct CT so nearly so that Campbelrs margin could not be cut down.
 Increase Campbell Vote
 Returns from some of the missing precincts yesterday caused another all iteration of the lists of majorties, bringing Campbells back to 33S where il had been rtaced by The Republican on Sunday morning. though returns that day reduced it to 299.
 Yesterday the returns from the miss ing precinct of Fredonia, in Coconino were received. It was expected that Campbell would receive a majority there. That precinct had given him a majority of r two years ago. But it did better this year. He received 47 votes, Golfer 9.
 A telegram from the clerk of the court of Apache said that the Colter majority in that county was 109, with one precinct out. It was known that six democratic votes and two repub- lican votes had been cast there. but whether they had been so cast for the candidates for governor was not known
 More Precincts In
 Among the other precincts whose re- turns came in yesterday were Roswell. CocOnino county, where Colter received three votes and Campbell eight, and Littlefield, Mohave county, where the Campbell vote was 2S and the Colter vote s. There was definite informa ton that the Colter majority in Green lee county had been fixed at 369 and the Campbell majority in Pinal at 90. The following is the latest revision of majorities:

From Our Workers From All Over
 the City and County

Many of the workers either 'phoned in their reports last night :. or came in personally, and it did the heart good to see how the money and pledges came rolling in, and see the wonderful spirit of the workers. They report that it is wonderful how the general public is going heart and soul into the work and
 digging down into pockets for a dollar for our boys.
 Even to the humblest of homes they understand what this work means to our men and feel that 1t is very worthy cause, and that at this time they are really giving a Christmas present to the boys at the front and in the cantonments. Since the Christmas packages are so small they feel that they can give to these great welfare agencies and that they will reach our boys in
 the cantonments and at the front in
 a way that we can not in a tiny
 Christmas box. These seven vel fare organizations will give our boys
 the comforts as near like home as
 can be given. and they also give
 them more than that, they keep up
 their morale and keep them smiling,
 over there in those little huts up near the front lines where there has been so much pain. LET US STOP AND THINK CAN WE NOT GIVE JUST A LIT TILE MORE TO KEEP THEM SMILING
 In spite of the Flu" the Woman's Division of city workers collected s1,24O in cash and $40 in pledges. Just think N it, the first day of the drive and tomorrow they are l. going to do as well. Victory Girls The business girls of the city are out enrolling all the girls in the business district into the Victory Girls clubs.

NOTHING TO SHOW

And have been busy the whole dav

Yet for my work there is nothing to

What was she doing? Listen; III

What she was doing in all the long
day;
beautiful deeds too many to number
Beautiful deeds in a beautiful way.
Womanly deeds that woman NAV
do,
lrlfies that only woman can see,
WELDING power unmeasured, un-
known,
Wherever the light of her presence
might be.
Humbly and quietly all the long day
Had her sweet service for others been
done;
Yet for the labor of heart and of
hand
What could she show at set of sun?
All, she forgot that our Father in
heaven
Ever watching the work that we do,
And records he keeps of all we forget
Then judges our work with Judge
ment true.
For an angel writes down in a vol
time of gold
The beautiful deeds that all do below.
Though nothing she had at set of the

DESERVES IRON CROSS FOR
WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER

O Atlanta, Ga, May 17.-Hearing a
strange commotion in an unused
stove put aside since the weather got
warm enough to do without fires,
Mrs. R. H. Harrison of this city pour
ed an ash tray full of trash into the
stove, poured a handful of sulphur
over it, and dropped in a lighted
match. Her efforts were presently
rewarded by 81 asphyxiated rats that
died almost without struggle when
the fumes of the burning sulphur
caught them like soldiers in a dug
out. Where they had been making
such a noise as to be heard all over
the house before Mrs. Harrison
launched her gas attack, they quickly
subsidized when the sulphur struck
them.
