YOUNG MORROW DISAPPEARED

CANADIAN OFFICER TELLS OF HOW LOCAL BOY, NOW LISTED AS MISSING, CON- TINUED HIS WORK IN MIDST OF BATTLE.
(From Tuesdays Oaily)

. Wesley NJ. Marrow ot lnglewood, California, father or Howard Morrow, the Prescott boy who was reported as missing on the battlefield after the engagement of August 10, 1918, has just received the following letter from the captain of the Canadian con- tingent with which Howard was con nected:
 France, Sept. IA, 1918. MT. Wesley w. Morrow,
 "Inglewood, Calif.. U. s. A.,
 ''I am writing to express to you and your family my heartfelt sym pathy in your great anxiety over your noble son, Stretcher Bearer Howard Morrow who has been missing since our offensive on August 10th. would have written sooner, but we have been almost constantly in action with no opportunity of writing letters. The following is the only information l could collect about your son. He was last seen courageously dressing the wounded on August llth when the German counterattack was much ly outnumbering our men. This hap pened near the village of Halleux and near the town of Chaulnes, about g miles southeast of Amiens.
 Many of our men have been miss ing since then, and though some were undoubtedly killed, in all probability many were also taken prisoners. I hope with all my heart that your son is only a prisoner. We have received no information regard ing the men who might be prisoners and on account of the present strenu, ous fighting, there will probably be some delay. But in the course of the next month we ought to hear, and will immediately send on any infor' nation which We may receive.
 q cannot tell you how keenly ! feel the loss of your son. 1 admired him very much. Out of the line Inc was a good, clcan-living lad and 1T the line he was gallant conscicn cious worker. I know how hard 1t l: to lose our loved ones in this terri ble war as my own brother was killed in action while stretcher bearer a Vimy Ridge on April 9, 1918.
 May God comfort and strengthen you in your great sorrow and an xiety. With deepest sympathy, l am
 Yours very sincerely,

 Eu,ilo Patena alleges in his com plaint that his wife Leonardo not only left the family home but took with Ter one of her gentleman friends by tl name of Emrica Flores, with whom she is supposed to be living at Las Vegas, Nevada. Mir. and Mrs. Patena were married in San Martolo, Mexico. in 1910, and the wife is all Ileged to have left home in September, 1917.
 Julius and Daisy Richards were mar ried in Prescott in November, 1910. and according to the complaint filed yesterday by the first-named, the wo- man left the plaintiffs home in Je- rome in September, 1917, and has since refused to come back.

CITY BOOSTS ITS SUBSCRIPTION
 ID THE LOAN
MONDAY SEES MATERIAL INCREASE IN N U M B E R
 OF NEW SECURITY HOLD FRS AND THE QUOTA
 MAY BE REACHED SOON.
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Considerable interest was shown throughout Monday when the lists showing the bond buyers of Prescott were posted on the bulletin board on the plaza. The list is made up of the names of all bond buyers residing in Prescott and does not contain the names of citizens from outside towns who have bought bonds through the Prescott banks, these amounts being credited to the towns in which the residence is held The list of em- ployees of the railroad who purchas- cd bonds will be posted today. The list. being quite lengthy, could not be completed for posting yesterday. Likewise will the 100 per cent busi- ness firms be posted.
 With the completion of the. entire list of bond buyers at the close of the week, a'list of all those who have not subscribed will be published. Good work was done on Liberty Day. ln- cluding the sales made on Liberty day and yesterday. S52,350 was subscrib- cd, 26O individual subscriptions, be- ing represented in this amount.
 As a safe estimate Prescott must subscribe at least $5OOOO in order that its quota may be reached. It is in tercsting to note that many who sub scribed for bonds several days ago have doubled their subscriptions. When it comes to real patriotism, a rather interesting incident occurred yesterday when a cook in local hotel received notice that property belonging to him in France had been sold, bringing him 10000 francs. He immediately turned this entire sum into U. s. Liberty bonds of this loan and asked that they be sent to Paris.
 At Whipple Barracks, the campaign is being pushed with pep and ginger. fWhen the final amount is received for Whipple, the citizens of Prescott will certainly have a surprise. This is not credited to Prescott's allot- ment, but to a separate one for the post. If you have noted that black line on the map which tells of the dcath-grip "over-there," you can pic ture what this line means. Some body's boy IS in the bloody wrestling match: his young manhood breasting ! the tide of battle to its certain glor- ;ous end. Shining today in the win dows of many Prescott homes IS the ! flag of service It may be that you who read re not called to this per sonal sacrifice; nevertheless every |, service star is sign of your responsi- bility. as you are to benefit in that .safety which is being brought nearer lcvery day, but which is not yet done for the sacrifice must go on. From across the sea comes the cry of our boys for that support, more than ever needed, now when victory IS almost
 in their grasp. It is up to the citi- zens of Prescott whether they will
 stand behind these boys, not only with words, and with applause, but with every dollar which can be found

 Double-Edged Wager.
 Several wagers arc reported to have been made by Democrats in Phoenix that Fred T. Colter would never be governor of Arizona. Odds were given that the Apache senator would never take his seat Those wagering that Colter will not succeed Hunt have two chances to win, first that Campbell will defeat him, and second that he will be declared in- eligible and that Hunt will continue to serve. The best legal talent in tho state has declared the constitutions provision prohibiting member o i the legislature from filling an office after having voted to increase th' salary of that office, an absolute bal to Golfers taking his seat and there is no question that in the event he l: disqualified by the courts, Hum would hold over.
