FRED FRITZ NOW
 AT CAMP KEARNEY

Fred Fritz, one of the Clifton boys who is now in training for army ser vice, writes to MT. P. Riley of this place that he is now with the 15Sth infantry, and has recently been trans ferred from Camp Funston to Camp Kearney. He says the change is greatly appreciated, as the climate is more pleasant at the latter camp, the former being quite cold, while at his present location the weather is like early summer in Clifton. How ever, he says the boys from this high elevation complain some from the low altitude of Camp Kearney.
 Fritz says he appreciates the Cop per Era which he enjoys very much, as every item is read eagerly ot ] news of Clifton and Clifton people by every boy at the camp from this place.
 The 15Sth, says Fritz, is being is' sued new accoutrements and art expecting any time to receive order! | to sal TOT SOulSWH0lO III f1ohSO. All the companies of his regiment ar' seing recruited up to war strengtl from other camps.
 Fritz states that he is very wei
 reconciled to army life, but canno
 say that he is foolish" about it
 Would rather be at home astride
 pony than doing squad right, squa
 left" and is inclined to think ths
 Sherman was right.
 All the boys from this district al well and in good spirits. Shori

 m Fritz writes that he had met u IT Clifton boys who enlisted in the nav h during his visits to San Diego, ar
 all were looking fine, but have th'
 longing for home and hope the W;
 will soon end that they might retu1 .t to Clifton. He sends regards friends here.

A Change Probable in R. R.
BoutevarI

6ouIevdT0-
 The City administration has anoth. CT plum ripening for Clifton to be plucked in the near future. That is, it is contemplated, and if the matter can be put across it will add much to the beauty of the city, and the con- venience and safety of the public This particular fruit is the straight. ening of Railroad Boulevard. It is contemplated and desired, if the con sent of the management of the rail. road can be secured, to tunnel the rock which protrudes into the boule. yard where the street make a sharp turn at the tool house crossing, and open the street on this side of the rail- road. This matter is contemplated just as soon as the concrete bridge on the boulevard is open to the pub lie, or coincident herewith This will not affect the street on the other side stated City Engineer Kerr to a Copper Era reporter this week. It is hardly probable that the management of the railroad will with hold its consent to the proposed change, as it will eliminate two very dangerous crossings-the one at the tool house, and the other at the Bru- tine1l apartments. As traffic is now diverted along this street these cross ings are not so important, as most of the traffic from South Clifton passes on the other side of the river, but when the Boulevard bridge is open nearly all of that traffic will pass on this side of the river, over the concrete bridge.

Returns from State Meeting

Mrs. Jessie Billingsley, County School Superintendent, returned on Thursday from the state meeting of the county superintendents of educa- tion, who met in Phoenix last Friday and Saturday for the purpose of dis. cussing educational matters, and other subjects relating to their off, ces. Mrs. Billingsley stated the meet ing was most interesting and har monious Among the questions dis cussed were war measures, wherein the schools of the state could con tribute to the success and cooperate with the government in bringing the war to a successful issue. These mat ters embraced the Junior Red Cross and Woman's Council of Defense work. Preliminary steps were taken for the organization of the State Pa triotic League, to be composed of all the educators of the state.

the auspices of the Y. M. c. A. was well attended and proved to be most interesting affair.
 Both the fathers and the sons were enthusiastic and there will be no question about this being one of the looked for annual affairs of Clifton in the future. One of the fathers said it was the first time he had given an entire evening to the entertainment of his boy for seven years.
 Miss Rita Stvens and her class in Domestic Science did themselves proud in the preparation and serving of the supper and are deserving of special mention as they contributed their expert services gratis.
 The boys and the men each did their part in the toasts and many impress sive statements were made regarding the value of intimate friendship be- tween father and son. It was gener- ally conceded that many of the fath- CTS had been too occupied in chas- ing the very elusive dollar to devote the amount of time for the best i'm terest of the son. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own son?
 In the games following the supper the boys showed up in the better form tho the fathers showed that they were still in the running.

FLouor Purity Economy

All shortenlngs are short. Some are shorter. That means they are richer.
 Cottolene is particularly short shortening. It sets the highest pos sible standard for purity and riehness. You use one-third less of Cottolene than you ordinarily use of other shortcomings. The results are per fectly delicious.
