DUNCAN RED CROSS
 AUXILIARY ORGANIZED

Duncan now boasts of working Red Cross auxiliary. Several officers of the Clifton chapter, accompanied by other Red Cross workers, went to that patriotic little city last Saturday and organized an auxiliary there.
 Those from here found all enhusi- astic for the work, nearly the entire population were members of the Red Cross society, having enrolled their names during the Christmas drive, so those from Clifton found fertile soil, and willing workers.
 The visitors were greeted by about 150 Duncan citizens, all anxious for the organization as an auxiliary of tts Clifton chapter. The assemblage was addressed by several of the wis., itors, after which the organization was perfected. A committee was named to select the names of those to serve as the first officers of the auxiliary, and as a result of the de- Alterations of the committee the fol- lowing were unanimously elected as officers of the Duncan Red Cross aux Hilary: DT J. H. Briley, president; Mrs. F. R. Hightower, secretary; Mrs. Jas. V. Parks, treasurer; Dr. A. Mo Kee Wallace, chairman of knitting cimmittee; Mrs. J. Craig Watt, chair man of the hospital garments com mittee; Mrs. Joseph I. Cohn, chair man of the surgical dressings and , bandages committee.
 It was decided by the ladies of the newly Organized auxiliary to meet daily just as soon as the material ar rives so as to commence and carry on the work of making supplies for the soldiers. So it appears that the Dun- can organization will be a working body, and the chapter expects much good to result from this new unit to the Greenlee chapter.
 Those who went to Duncan from here besides R. HI. Pringle, president of the Greenlee chapter, were MT. and Mrs. J. G. Cooper, Mrs. J. :. Albrecht, Mrs. w. B. Foote, Mrs. L. A. W. Burtch, Mrs. Goldzier, Mrs. Fer rell, and Messrs. C.. H. Love and A. W. Liddell.

THE COMPANY STORE" IN MINING CAMPS.

During the past few weeks there have been two instances in the state calculated to bring before the public what is known as company stores in mining camps. Years ago these stores were regarded by many as means sf exploiting those working for the companies owning the stores. Of course the assault on the company owned stores was usually headed by small merchants who put in much of his time in stirring up the working man to resent the presence of the company store as means to his welfare. Those who had occasion to in- vestigate these matters could never find any evidence to sustain the charge that they were designed to give the laborer the worst of it. As a matter of fact they were direct benefit to those whose acquaintance in the community and whose financial standing would not war rant credit being extended by other than their employers.
 Only few weeks ago more than five hun dred employees of the Old Dominion Mining company presented petition to General Man ager Mcbride, asking that he take steps to establish a company store in Globe unless there could be some assurance that merchants there would lower their prices on many articles of necessity to the home. MT. Mcbride promised that he would make an investigation of condi- tions and. give his answer to the petitioners later.
 Last week. on similar complaints made by employees of the Ray Consolidated Copper con- pahy, General Manager l.. c. Gates gave out an ultimatum to stores doing business at Ray and Hayden that they could go farther in the matter of high prices for goods with the alternative of company store at these places which would protect the men employed by the company from being too heavily. gouged by the merchants now in business there Mr. Gates caused his private secretary to make an investigation of the prices paid and charged by the local merchants and then provided price limit on many of the more necessary articles.
 As result of the petition at Globe and of the action of MT. Gates at Ray it is quite likely that the merchants there now will lower their sights in the matter of pricing goods in the fu- ture company stores at those places would take the greater part of the available trade.

GRAB THOSE BONDS.

The concensus of opinions of economists and fnanciers seems to be that it is poor lime to engage in new enterprises but that the fellow who saves now will have unprecedented opp, rtunity to make big money, during the fiscal year or two of peace and we pause to add that the best sort of saving is subscription to Liberty Bonds.
 War prosperity is ephemeral, and there is no question but very high percentage If whatever of prosperity enjoy is ;lne to foreign trade. The year 1913 showed s4311,176 exports and $1 ,792, 645 inn ports. or a balance in foreign trade of tt92.- 127,5 ,5s1 For the first year of the war the fig ures were, $2, ,624 ,O5O, exports $1,787,- 276 GOO. imports, balance of $324, ,34S. .o49 Our imports were, thus about the sap, ba; our exports dropped back to about the figures of 1311.
 But got busy. We changed factories and methods to meet foreign demands as never before in our industrial history and the following the figures for the year ending December 31, 1917:
 Exports, $6,226, 100000; imports, $2,952- 000,000; excess of exports, $3, ,274, ,0OOOOO
 These enormous represent, in very large degree, war products bullets, bread and such. But one thing is certain and, that is that when. peace comes, Europe must rebuild her self cities, villages, farms, and al and, in this connection, it must be remembered that during 1917 we had no business whatever with Germ any, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria, countries against which, in ordinary times, we held trade balance of approximately half billion dollars. If, in peace times such as the year 1913, we have trade balance of over $692, 100000 against the foreign world, how can that worlds necessity to rebuild itself mean anything save opportunity to the American who has saved?
 Buy Liberty bonds, sit on them, and keep your eyes open!

KEEP THE SOLDIERS.

Governor Hunt is using the influence of his exalted office to have the United States government remove the federal troops from the mining districts of the state.
 This is entirely consistent with the gov ernor s policy many times expressed of afford ing aid and comfort to the men and organiza- tions who have frequently shown themselves to be unfriendly to the mine operators.
 It is fresh in the memory of everyone how the Clifton strike of two years ago was hand led. How the national guard was used, in the opinion of many, to actually further the cause of the rioting strikers.
 Everyone recalls how the governor placed every obstacle within his power to prevent the military authorities taking charge of the situ- ation when it became so bad that production was at a standstill, and the operation of the law itself seemed about to be suspended.
 The mining camps are said to be filled with German propagandists, held more or less in check by the soldiers Copper is absolutely essential to the conduct of the war. Arizona produces more copper than any other state in the union. Its production must not be slowed down.
 The Gazette predicts that within thirty days after the withdrawal of troops from the mining districts strikes will be called and riots instigated determined soldier carrying regular army rife and full belt of ammuni- ton is the only argument the pro-German and the I. W. w. can or will understand
 It's not the time to stand on ceremony. Arizona has no guard. The mines would be defenseless. The governor s petition should be ignofed. Keep the soldiers.-Phoenix Gazette.

Four sentrys who were recently caught asleep at their posts, have been tried by court martial of the expeditionary forces in France and condemned to be shot. General Pershing while having the authority to carry out the sentence of the court, has referred the cases to the war department for review, before the men are executed.

OANDRUFF GOES!
HAIR GETS THICK.
WAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Save your hair! Doublei its beauty
in few moments.
Try this!
Hair stops coming out and every
particle of dandruff
disappears.

Try as you will, after an applica-
ton of Danderine, you can not Ind
a single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch,
but what will please you most, will
re after a few weeks use, when
you see new hair. fine and downy at
first-yes-but really new hair
growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair. taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
is immediate and amazing-your
bsir will be light. fluffy and wavy,
and have an appearance of abund-
ance; an incompatible lustre, soft
ness and luxuriance, the beauty and
simmer of true hair health.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents, and
prove that your hair ls as pretty and
soft as any-that II has been neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment -
that's all.
Danderine Is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the
roots, invigorates and strengthens
them. Its exhilarating. stimulatine
eng life-producing properties cause
the hair to grow long, strong and
beautiful.

icated every drop in his body to wipe
kaiserism from the earth. He asked

1.-The ultimatum thus was accepted

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for it is pure
and entirely greaseleSs. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in, about tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t
makes an abundance of rich, creamy
1ather, cleanses thoroughly, and
Tinses out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides, it loos-
ems and takes out every particle of
dust, dirt and dandruff.
